The War Lord.

The War Lord talks no more
OF art, or paints his own punk
pictures: no more he makes the
painters smart with far-fetched
praise or structures. The War
Lord talks no more of song, or
points out poets folly. or shows
where Schiller got in wrong,
where Goethe jumped his trolley.
The War Lord hasn't talked for
moons of music, as a master. nor
shown how Handel's labored
tunes were simply disaster. The
arts are having quite a rest, that
once he tore to tatters; the War
Lord in his bright tin vest must
tend to other matters. His men
are weary of his war. they're sulk-
ing and they're striking; ignoble
peace they're yearning for, and
this keeps William hiking. His
sub campaign is falling fiat, 50
fiat the press bewails it; the War
Lord, in his soldered hat, must
find out just what ails it. The
Russians seem disposed to f1irt,
and won't stand hitched a minute );
the War Lord, in his pewter shirt,
must see what bug is In it. Amer
leans are now in France, to do
some heavy fighting; the War
Lord. in his iron pance, is worried,
at this writing. Too worried and
too full of woe to spring, for pub
lie gulping. the countless things
he doesn't know of music, books
and sculping.

ON $3.10 WEEKLY
Labor Bureaus Review Shows
Two Wage Farmers Practi-
caIIy Faced Starvation.

Two Washington wage-earning wom-
en- practically starved themselves last
wear in their efforts toward economy,
declares the bureau of labor statistics
in presenting in the March number of
the monthly review of the bureau the
sixth article on the cost of living in the
District of Columbia.
The present article. dealing with the
food and housing of local wage-earn-
ing women. Investigated in connection
with the bureaus inquiry. made at the
order of Congress-, shows that two laun-
dry workers. one earning s213.5s year.
and the other earning s239.20 a year,
has insufficient food. The first woman
paid s3.f0 a week for food and lodging,
and the second paid out s3.69 a week.
The second worker. the report states.
went with insufficient food and cloth
ing. to care for her children.
Study of the experiences of the 500
white wage-earning women included in
the survey leads the bureau to the con-
clusion that SO per week was the bare
minimum upon which the average wom-
an could obtain adequate board and
lodging in Washington in the early
part of 1917. and that a somewhat larg-
er amount was necessary to insure any
considerable degree of comfort"
