ED SETS MINIMUM WAGE
on Of Official Body Is Likely to
Of Far-Reachina Importance
X II to the Workers.

FIVE policies of far-reaching conse-
quehce In the employment of labor
were laid down by the national war
labor board. They were:
I. Approval Of the principle of the
eight-hour day.
Q. Insistence on the payment to Ia
Dor of "living wage"
3. Disapproval of the employment
of children under fourteen on govern
ment contracts.
4. Disapproval Of the direct or in
direct employment on government con-
tracts of prisoners who have been SEN
fenced to hard labor.
5. Adoption of a dividing line be-
tween the war Industries in which
women should be employed and those
in which they should not.
In the adoption of these principles,
applied by the board in many in
stances to labor disputes pending be-
fore that body, the board, of which
former President William H. Taft and
1uAh - w ulou are JoluL CIlulIllcll,
has not hesitated to go beyond the
rival claims Of employers and the en-
ployeesD
This was notably the case in the
announcement by the board of its de-
cision in the dispute involving 1900
employees in eight plants at Wayres-
boro, Pa.
In this case the board established
40 cents an hour as the minimum wage
to be paid any class of workers, In
Guiding common laborers, on the the
DRY that less than. that amount was
not living wage.
BY living wage, it was explained,
the board meant "the minimum rate
Of wage to permit the worker and
his family to subsist in health and
comfort"

The original geometrician was Moth

making of crystals. Each kind of gem
stone crystallizes on certain pattern
of its own, perfectly symmetrical; it
is the same way with metals when
they form crystals, says a writer.
If q cupful of salt and water be al
lowed to evaporate Slowly In a cool
place, the salt will take the form Of
ever SO many cubes, each one Of them
perfect.
One mineral in crystallizing will in
variably take the shape Of an octa-
hebron, another Of dodecahedren.
Yet another will assume the form OF
a multitude Of cubes, perhaps half an
inch on an edge, with a chip accurate
Iy cut off of each corner. It seems
like joke.
Gold end silver crystalline as cubes.
A crystal of iron sulphide resembles
in shape a wild rose. Water has its
own crystalline forms, like any other
mineral. Ice, of course, is kind Of

may know Rodin for modern Of the

spirit of his time incarnate in marble

gins by Outraging our love of the

us to revise our definition Of beauty,
says the New Republic. Even those.
who most passionately deny that his
beauty is beauty can never see quite
as they would have seen if Ralin had
not lived. He makes them less at ease
