You can never stop these crazes
by prohibiting them by law, When
people are told they can't have a
certain thing that is just what they

These words were drawn from the
Baroness Won Klenner ss a result of
the storm of criticism that has swirl

The Baroness made it plain that
she is as much opposed to the pres

against dress extremes is in the kin

STOCKHOLM. Sweden, August -
The principle of equal wages for men
and women has been adopted by the
majority Of the Danish state wage
commission and embodied in lesisla-
ton that seems likely to DO passed
soon. The committee publishes q very
comprehensive report issued in four
volumes, which examines women's
claims for equal pay and contains
data deserving international notice.
Popular Ideas Refuted.
The allegation Of the minority Of
the commission that women are more
liable to be absent on account Of I'LL
ness is refuted by statistics which
show the contrary to be the case. The
minority's contention that women
should be paid less because they are
not suited for responsible positions Is
refuted by statement. pointing out
that in the government service wage
scale no account is taken Of indi-
vidual mems likelihood Of attaining
capacity fitting them for high posi-
lions, but that the stupid officials are
paid the same as the better grade of
men, though obviously ,unsuited for
ever holding high positions. II u de-

The government Of the United States
for more than one hundred years has

There has been no public officer di-

Prior to the war there was a grow

between the governments net re-
ceipts and net disbursements.
From time to time a temporary bal

The street railway situation in

Bread. boots. shirts. even spring

now fares are being jumped. Why?
They tell us-and there's more truth
than poetry about it-that if there
could be found some way to put the
price of bread. boots. shirts, and even
spring water back to where they were
before the war, 1t would be unneces-
sary to jump the price of fares.
II we VINO ride on street cars man
