a fine time. Mr.. and Mrs. Amen,
Miss Edith Amen, Mr.. and Mrs. m.

ing was pleasantly passed on the
porch enjoying the cool breezes
that the rain brought to us.

MINIMUM WAGES

The House District Committee this
morning ordered favorable REPORT
on the Heating minimum wage bill
for the District OF Columbia. The
only vote in opposition was that OF
Congressman Could or New York.
Congressman Ragsdale. who opposed
the bill at the last meeting, was not
present.
The bill applies to minimum wages
for women and children, and is
founded upon the principles put in
effect in Oregon. Congressman Hin
lard will report the bill to the House
tomorrow.
Congressman Heating said he
would make every effort to have the
measure considered at. an early date,
and that he believes it will pass the
House.
In States where the question has
been raised business interests have
been shortsighted enough to oppose
it," said Heating THE fact that

HALF MILLION WOMEN
die AS WAR HEROTNES

More than half a million women
have been killed while directly con-
B0cted with the world war and THE
women OF France are again giving 10
the world fine examples OF fortitude
and bravery.
This was the message conveyed TO
the National Women's Party last
night by Mrs. Inez Haynes Irwin. wife
OF Will Irwin, the war correspondent.
Mrs. Irwin, who spent eleven months
in the war one with her husband, de-
clared American women may well imi-
tate the French women OF today, even
as they did before the war.
The French woman has always
been a creature OF infinite charms. .
said Mrs. Irwin, and her gowns, fads,
and mannerisms have been OF great
fascination to the American women.
Her steadfastness. her brave cheer
fulness or today are just as worthy OF
imitation"

Rear Admiral Wainwright, intro1
duced Mrs. Irwin.

thing to sserve" while you still have
