any condition at the polls which would

are the despair of demagoguos. On the
whole they have made our politics better

them perfect. do not believe that these
could be found in California more than
ten per cent OF opposition TO equal suffrage
and that per cent would come from the

WOMAN'S CLAUSE IN
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
All Positions, Including That Of
Sccretariat, Are Open to
Them.

If ViscolInt Grey's letter about The
League Of Nations means early ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty by the United
States, it might be well for American wo.
men to look up paragraph 3, OF Article
VII, Of the covenant of the League OF
Nations, which is part Of the peace treaty.
This provision, known as the Woman =
Clause" reads as follows:
All positions under, or in connection
with, the league, including the secretariat,
shall be open equally to men and women.
This provision was not IN the cove
nant when it was finished and presented 10
the Peace Conference IN February, but
was later introduced through tho efforts Of
n group of allied women in Paris, including
the presidents Of the leading EuroDean
woman suffrage associations. II means
even more than IL says. British women are
already after their government, urging
the appointment of women 10 important
posts in the League Of Nations.

Famous Old Recipe

OF cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in

tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
a family long time
It's truly astonishing how quickly il
acts, penetrating through every air

heals the membranes, and gradually but
surely the annoying throat tickle and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,

trated compound OF genuine Norway

PASSING OF THE KIMONA.
Popularity of Occidental Costume Grows
in Japan.

A class in dressmakiEg for Japanese
who wish TO learn how to make Western
costumes has been opened in Tokyo.
Japan 1t is being conducted by Miss
Hanaya Sakamoto, a Japanese Secretary
/ of the Y. W. c. A., who has studied in
( the United States and Canada. The
! class is attended by a number of the
weather. women of Tokyo, who are
among the first to adopt the new fashions
of dressing their children as Western
mothers do, and who wish to learn to
make underclothes as well as outer gar
meDts-
The picturesque klmona Is giving way
! before the more convenient and econom-
ical skirt or trousers. Economy seems
the greatest argument IN favor of our
commonplace Western costume. For
everyday wear, to be sure, the japanese
have kimonas which cost rather less
than our everyday clothes, but when they
dress up their costumes are exceedingly
expensive
They are ornamented with elaborate
embroidery, and are made of very ex-
pensive materials. But If the same dress
kimona would do for number of oc-
casioDs, the expense entailed would be
small compared to what japanese lady
spends now, for convention demands
that she wear different sort of costume
for each ceremonial occasion. This multi
plies her bills until she looks with envy
Oh our simpler costume.
Most business men and men students
in Japan are already wearing foreign
clothes. One large girls school has adopt
ed navy blue uniform consisting of
simple one-piece dress with white collars
and cuffs and a large straw hat Most OF
the foreign costumes advocated by the
| Japanese women, however, are extremely
ugly, and a far cry from the more aesthe-
tic costumes of America and England
The Y. W. G. A. is extremely anxious to
| add TO its staff in Tokyo an expert Amer
lean designer who can supervise the making
OF artistic Occidental costumes worthy to
associate with the lovely graceful kimoD-

MUSICAL AND DANCE
RY DAUGHTERS OF 1872

The musical and dance, March IL, 1920.
az the Century hub. under the allspices Of
the Daughters OF 1872. for the benefit Of
child welfare oi Delaware, promises 10 be a
most beautiful evening for music lovers.
The following from Philadelphia paper
gives some idea what 10 expect.
"Orpheus Mixed Quartet presents In q
Persian Garden at Bellevue. 4 scene Of
Oriental splendor and appeal was enacted
at the Bellevlie-Stratford last night before
an audience that crowded the ballroom,
when the Orpheus Mixed Quartet pre-
scented the song cycle, In Persian Car
den, amid a setting whose artistictefiect
rivaled the best efforts of the legitimate
stage.
The quartet, under the leadership OF
Mrs. X. Hafer Baugher, gives ITS services
annually for some charitable purpose and
this year the special relief bureau Of the
Emergency Aid OF Pennsylvania was the
beneficiary Members OF the quartet are
Edna HARDWOOD Baugher, soprano; Lo-
retta La Pltre Strehl, tenor; Philip Warren
Cooke, tenor, and Donald Redding. barr
tone. Alton X. Dougherty assisted at the
piano.
THE words of the cycle are selected
from the Rubaiyat of Omar khayyam,
with music by Liza Lehmann. The scene,
as the title indicates, Is laid in Persian
garden, with wealth Of color and pic
turesque scenery, making an effective
background for the gorgeously costtlmed
quartet who participated in the songs.
The green Of potted palms, mingling with
the darker shades of evergreen trees,
blended with the brilliant colors OF the
Oriental draperies IN a complete whole
whose effect was eminently satisfying TO
the eye, while skillful lighting effects added
to the beauty of the scene.

MINIMUM WAGE LAW IN
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
For Women in Hotels and Res.
taurants, it is $16.50 Per Week,
All Tips Theirs.

Washington, March 1.-The minumim
wage for women employed in hotels.
restaurants, apartment houses. cafeterias
tea rooms, and hospitals in the District of
Columbia, accordingto the decision of the
Minimum Wage Board of the District Just
announced, will be sl6.50per week. with
n per mltted deduction of not more than 80
cents per meal furnished by the employer
and not more than So per week if room is
furnished Employees VINO receive Is
meals per week for example. will under
this order Ieceive AZ least Sll.l0 per
week IN cash, in addition to their meals
About 65 per cent of the women are ON
ployed on this basis, and about 81 per cent
OF them have been receivir G less than this
hgure, 32 per cent receiving 50 per week
and less heretofore.
The order takes no account of tips,
on the ground that the employer should
pay living wage exclusive Of any addition
al pay the workers may receive from the
public.
If cost TO the employer were the basis
inequalities in the kind of food served
employees would make il difficult TO arrive
at a figure which would be fair 10 all
parties concerned. II was pointed out
that the large hotels served three grades
of food, the rank and file of the worker
getting the third or poorest grade. The
women contended that this food was often
unpalatable and even inedible, and why
then should IN employer be allowed TO
charge the price of a wholesome meal for
food which did not come up TO the stand
ard?
On the other hand in the small restaur-
ants, tea rooms and cafeterias only one
grade of food was served The cost to
the employers in these instances would
be considerably more than in hotels
Therefore fixed price for meal served
employees would in some instances work
hardship on the employer and in others,
on the employe Where could the line
be drawn 50 as to secure a Maximum of
benefit with minimum OF hardship?
Final agreement was reached on 30 cents
a meal, $3.50 for II meals week and So
a week for rent. These figures represent
a compromise between the cost to the
employer and the value 10 the employee
as measured 10y prices for which STANDARD
accommodation could be secured outside
the establishment.
