Here's to Human Hiram Johnson,
Man Among Men
W Carrier. o0c Month; BY Mail yl0.50 q Year
By BILL PRICE.

There has long been pending in the Senate bill passed
by the House fixing minimum wage of So per day for
workers in the Federal and District governments who are
now living IN Injury on basic pay of around s. per day
That bill has hung and hung in the Senate while deary
OF the League of Nations and of peace with Ger
many went on that great statesmen might display their
overwhelming knowledge of international questions
National problems-the greatest of all being the high
cost OF living and restriction of profteers-rests in the
shade OF legislative pgeonhoes Some statesmen are going
to learn that foreign complications have comparatively little
interest for the public while the of bread and meat
clothing and homes, means everything.
And comes along HIRAM JOHNSON. the human states
man from California, and right in the open stunning
tunnel methods he raps the steering committee of the Sen
ate for sidetrackng a measure which much to
human beings American humans, too, many of them living
right under the dome of that Capitol that has spent many
months debating whether it will hook up with disordered
Europe.
The simple act of Senator JOHNSON shows something
of the heart Of that who stands gh among all men,
He is not too immersed in big craftsmanship in Presiden
tal politics. to forget that there and women still
working for the Government burdened with families
for less money than is paid the cheapest domestic
aborer He calls for prompt square deal for workers
paid less than So per day. Sympathy ought play
part the passage of this legislation by the Senate because
these workers entitled by every right what the House
bill proposes to pay them.
HIRAM JOHNSON goes notch higher in the estma-
ton of his fellow men.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

AS you have helped so many
others. / am writing to you in tie
hope ti.a. you will help me I am
only sixteen. so you may think me
foolish, but ] really want your hon
eGt opinion OF what I am going TO
ask you. Last year ] met a young
fellow whom / liked very well. and
with whom went for about five
months, and at the end OF that time
we separated because he failed to
keep a date at party with me. IL
was the first time that he had
broken a date with me. but ] acted
very foolishly and refused ms ex-
plantations, for which l was sorry
afterward. Recently we made up
and he seems to like me better
than ever, and the same is true tor
me. He has always treated me hne
in every respect, but on two occa-
sions he has asked me to KISS Nun,
which / have not done. Now, l really
like him, but have never yet KISS
ed a boy except at parties. he seems
to think n lot OF me, and also thinks
that | should kiss him just once to
prove my liking for him. l really
like him real well, and know that
he really cares for me, and that he
is going with no other girl at the
present time. DO you think that 1
should kiss him? Or at least let
him put his arm around me? Do you
think that I should at least let him
put his arm around me. 1 really
think that much OF him. and the
reason for me not doing 1t is be-
cause ] have never let any fellow
do It. Please answer real soon, be-
cause I am waiting. waiting, WATT
