ZURICH. Switzerland, May u. via
Paris, France. May 14.-Miss Jane Ad-
dams Of Chicago, permanent chairman
of the International Congress of Women,
touched the bond uniting all the women
present. representing sixteen countries.
gress in Zurich this morning by calling
for united silence in memory Of our
dead who lost their lives in this war"
More than 100 women rose. British.
German, Hungarian, Italian, Austrian,
Polish, American and other women stood
in silence. On the platform an English
woman and a German woman, each in
black. stood side by side with tears roll
down the cheeks of all the women in
memory of their dead.
Persons wondering how women from
America, England, France, Italy and the
other allied countries could meet the
women of Germany and Austria Hun
swer this morning in that moment Of
silence. The women assembled in Zu-
rich are united by the bond Of the COM
mon suffering Of the last four years and
determination that the coming peace
shall be just and permanent.
Address of Welcome.
Miss Adams was followed by the
chairman of the Swiss section. who
delivered an address welcoming the
delegates and described the gather
ing as a miniature of what an ideal
league of nations should be-peoples
Of many countries and many opin-
ions united in work for peace. Mes
sages were then read from Ellen
Key, the Scandinavian feminist; Sell
ma Lagerlof of Sweden, and Olive
Schreiner, author of women and
Labor" Miss Schreiner wrote. II am
of the opinion that only the women
and workers can save the world at
this time. but the women must be
strong and self-reliant."
There were present forty-nine
women from the entente countries,
thirty-six from the former central
powers and thirty-five from neutral
states. The most dramatic speech of
the day was made by German wom-
an pacif1st. She told how the Ger
man women paciflsts had protested
against the invasion of Belgium,
against its annexation and against
the deportation Of Belgian women.
Face White With Anger.
The cords in her neck swelled and
her face was white with anger as she
denounced the German military Off
Gals. She described how the recent
bloodless revolution in Bavaria was
followed by a bloody revolution
against which she as pactfist pro-
tested. Her stand against bloodshed
even to win good ends was loudly
applauded by the audience.
One of the chief topics among the
women which will later be discussed
in the sections is the necessity OF
lifting the blockade and permitting
food to be sent to the starving peo-
pie of central and eastern Europe
and parts of Asia
Flight the famine is the slogan
adopted from an English organiza-
ton.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: You have
made the remark that a girl should
never allow a young gentleman to kiss

try 1t, or II given the least encourage
ment will do 1t. 1t seems so disgust
ing to me.

man over a year, and under ordinary
conditions have gone out twice a week
with him. but he has never spoken OF
marriage or even that he cares for me.
DO you think he has the right 10
take So much of my time as long as
we are not engaged? 1 have tried to
gradually cut down our spending so
much time together, but It seems as
though l cannot do it. He always
Kisses me before leaving and very
often during the evening. Is it
wrong?
have noticed that when nv girl
friends and 1 go out they allow the
Fellows to kiss them and make a fuss
over them, while I always discoura &c
them. but 1T seems as though my
friends get the dates. and very often
the fellows make fun of me because !
don't allow II. Why is this? Probably
YOU think 1 am not as good looking as
my friends. but in reality 1 am as
good looking as they.
PERPLEXED.
You are mistaken about my saving
that girl should never allow a young
man to kiss her She should not until
she is engaged. but then it is the most
natural thing in the world. Affection
should not be forbidden, not vet
abused. When indulgence is given TO
-promiscuous loye-making affection is
abused.
1t Is human nature TO want to be
loved and that is why boys try TO kiss
girls and girls are inclined to permit it,
Everyone should have too much self
respect to make love as a pastime.
The young man has no right to kiss
you without asking you TO marry him.
IL he goes TO see you as a friend only
and Is willing you should go with
other young men. too, twice a week Is
not too often for him TO come. Under
the circumstances however. Il would
be advisable for you to limit his calls
to once week. He is not treating
you fairly.
Many young men and women
cheaper themselves by too much kiss
ing. Since. you have more character
and good taste than the others seen1
to possess, they make fun Of you. Dis
regard their ridicule and do what you

WAGES HIGH AND Low.

Samuel Crowther, writing in the
Worlds Work. believes that more at
tention should be paid to the result
Of a mans work and less to the high
cost Of living. II there be production
in return for a wage then the cost of
living will take care of itself
The curious part of 1t all. he says. is
that in most discussions OF wages,
what the man does for a wage is sell
dom considered. while page after page
OF testimony Is taken as to how much
1t costs to live, aItho It must be self
evident that so long as we work under
a wage system, II production be not
returned for wages. then a living wage
can never exist. Inevitably a wage
paid. which is not wholly earned,
must be added into the price of the
finished product and eventually raise
the price OF all products. so that when
the wage Garner goes to buy he is
bound to find his money insufficient.
Wages are high when they do not
result in production; they are low
no matter how many dollars are con-
tanned in them-f they give produce
tion. The union between wages and pro-
duction is inseparable. but it is neg
lected by nearly all employers and by
most employees. There is somehow an
idea. regardless of all the facts. that
a particular Job Is worth just so much
and no more. Hence we have what
is called the market rate. which in
turn varies according to the demand.
as compared with the supply OF labor.
But the best employers OF the coun-
try have long since given up any idea
that there lie such a thing as a mar
ket rate for labor. There is no mar
ket rate for professional men above
a certain grade. there Is no market
rate for surgical operations. or for
good portrait painting.
whether wages will stay up or
come down." says this writer. does
not depend upon the employers, or
upon Mr.. Gompers. or upon any other
group in the world. The particular
number of counters used is not of the
slightest importance anyway. Wages
are too high when they do not give
production. They are too low not
when they do not support life, but
when the return to the employer is
higher than it should be. This is a
very indefinite statement. but the
whole matter of wages is indefinite
because it gets down to particular
cases. and the balance between la
Dor and capital is not a thing which

Nationally fixed wages promote sloppy
production and inevitably raise

WOmcn'S ImaGiuatiOh-A
A Judge recently granted new trial
to man on the ground that the ac-
cused was entitled to a rehearing of
/ his case because he had been con-
victed on the evidence of women.
| This blow is enough to kill mother,
4 but his honor softened 1t by saying
| that altho woman's testimony on the
witness stand wasn't worth a hill of
beans as testimony. woman had, in
reality. higher moral sense than
man. The only reason that she didn't
tell the truth. the whole truth and
nothing but the truth on the witness
stand was because the exuberance OF
| the feminine imagination prevented
her from being able to distinguish be-
tween fact and fiction.
Little as those of us who are strong
/ for the equality of the sexes, like to
admit this. there is a certain degree
| OF truth in the judges contention. IL
must be admitted that, as a general
thing, women haven't the faculty Of
seeing things straight. They see things
upside down. or topsy-turvy. or cut
on the bias and shirred in the middle,
or like they want them to be. or like
they should have been to be properly
/ thrilling and dramatic.

The safety OF miners Is of course
not the only subject which is investi-
gated in this laboratory. The bureau
is carrying on a number Of technical
mining experiments all the time. Two
Of the most important lines of work
have to do with the burning of coal
and the extraction of oil from the
ground. The economical use of coal,
both in factories and In homes, by
proper firing and by using the right
kinds of CRATES. has been preached by
the bureau for years, and IL is still
making experiments in that line.
With only enough oil in sight to
last few years. its work in connec-
ton with the oil wells is even more
important. A large amount of oil is
left in the ground by reason of faulty
boring and pumping. and the bureau
is experimenting in better methods Of
doing both these things.
