Waste No Paper!

Do not waste paper. Save it and use
as little of it as possible. This is the
request of that branch Of the gov
eminent which deals with economies
making for the greater production of
war materials. Paper represents not
merely the pulp used in its production,
but chemicals and coal. These chem
icals are needed in the manufacture
of explosives. Coal is needed for every
purpose connected with our war work.
Both the chemicals and the coal are
insufficient in supply at present to
meet all demands. Consequently every
pound Of paper wasted or mneces-
sarily used stands as a drain upon re-
sources that are urgently required for
war work.
Householders can help greatly by
asking merchants not to wrap small
purchases for carriage home. There
is no gain in such wrapping when the
article is already packed in a pro-
teetive container. Do not be ashamed
to walk through the streets or to ride
in the cars carrying q parcel that has
no outer covering. It should be

The Minimum Wage Bill.

Yesterday action by the House
in the passage of the Nolan
minimum wage bill by an almost unani-
nous vote doubtless presages its final
enactment, for there is no distinct op-
position to the measure in the Senate,
and the reason for its adoption growa
more urgent daily. This bill is not to
be confused with the other minimum
wage" measure which has lately be-
come law. That provides for the es-
tablishment of minimum wage stand
ards in the local industries through
boards. The Nolan bill prescribes
minimum Of So day for all employees
of the federal government and the Dis
trict of Columbia who have been in the
service two years and more. It has
been shown in the course Of hearings
that large numbers of people are en-
ployed by the government for wages SO
small as to involve them in penury
and privation. No private employer
now ventures to maintain such a wage
scale, with the cost of living as high
as it is and with labor so greatly in
demand. Many of those affected by
the Nolan bill are engaged in impor-
tant tasks; some of them are skilled
in particular duties. That they have
stood by their services during these
days of high pay outside is greatly to
their credit. Now there is prospect
Of relief through the adoption of this
minimum, and the hope is that the Sen
ate will hasten action so that these
men and women may quickly receive
the benefit Of the new scale.

try should soon be better than ever be-
fore. Capital should be earning big
dividends and labor big wages.
A merchant marine, adequate for the
eountry's expanding overseas trade,
has been the dream, unreaized, of
many of our foremost public men.
For full half century the subject
has been discussed in Congress and
out, and amplifed in every way. The
single word subsidy" has served to
bring all efforts to a halt, and keep
them halted. When all sea carrying
powers were substituting their merchant
marines, and thereby increasing the
size and profits of their trading fleets,
we were being warned against the pol
icy and prevented from adopting it.
The war has succeeded where peace
failed. A merchant marine is now
building larger than was ever contem
plated in peace times, and likely to
prove adequate for the most ambi-
tious of our foreign trade purposes.
And when we unite an Incompatible
merchant marine and an incompatible
Navy, who may doubt the effect on
the country's financial recovery from
the costly participation in the war;
