A WindfaII.

The origin of ''windfall," in the sense
Of good luck" dates from the time of
William the Conqueror. 1t was then a
criminal offense to cut timber in the
forests. Only such could be gathered
as the wind had blown down; hence,
a heavy windstorm was hailed by the
peasants as so much good luck, and
from this comes the modern applica-
ton Of the expression.

The new Minimum Wage Board of

OF all women workers. in every line
OF industry. where those wages may
not be sufficient to keep pace with
the cost of living.

which woman in Washington can
live. When this is done, there will be
fixed in every line of industry and
business here n manimum wage that
VIII afford these workers the income
sufficient to maintain them in health
and protect their morals"
The law creating the Minimum
Wage Board makes 1t mandatory
upon that body to establish standards
Of minimum wages that will be ade-
quate to supply the necessary cost OF
liVing for women workers.
There are $4,000 women workers in
Washington In industrial, business,
and professional pursuits not connect
