WANTS MINIMUM
WAGE FOR WOMEN
FOR ALL STATES
jeanette Rankin Leading
Fight to Better Labor
Conditions.

CHICAGO. Jan. Women labor
leaders met in Chicago today to dis
cuss steps for Industrial equality.
Miss Jeanette Rankin, former
Congresswoman from Montana, ad-
vOcated a minimum wage law for
all States. She said the Mississippi
Valley States will be the next to
pass such a law.
Minimum wage legislation is
past the experimental stage" said
she. I'VE now have it in thirteen
States and in the District Of Colum-
bia. The minimum wage is largely
for the protection of the women
who are paid so little they cannot
even afford to pay union fees. 1t
is my belief that the minimum wage
places on industry the just obliga-
ton of supporting its own workers
and affords the liberal employer
protection against unjust competi-
ton
Most of the session was given
over to a protest against the pro-
posed removal of the women's bu-
reau at Washington from the De-
partment of Labor to the Welfare
Department. Miss Mary Anderson,
chief of the bureau, led the opposi-
ton.
Il do not believe in taking the
woman's bureau away from the De-
partment of Labor" she said, De
cause 1 do not think the men and
the women who labor should be
treated separately. 1t would be
another movement toward sex leg
islation which we do not want"
Mrs. Mary E. Mcdowell said wage
earning women are as much a part
of labor as wage earning men.
You cannot separate their prob
lens" she said. The women's bu-
reau belongs to the Department OF
Labor and we shall protest against
its being taken away"

Lady LeyLaRd Plans
Brilliant FeStiUity
By LADY DECIES.

LONDON, jan, 1. - Lady Naylor
Leyland, nee Jeanie Wilson, of
Cleveland, has ordered the redeco-
ration of her Hyde Park mansion
in preparation for a brilliant series
of entertainments over the new year
when the Prince of wales and other
members of the royal family will
be among the guests. 1t is common
knowledge that this mansion costs
more for upkeep than does Bucking-
ham Palace. 1t was in the posses
sion Of the military during the war,
which involved a tremendous ex-
pense for restoring 1t to its pre-war
magniicence.
Lady Naylor Leyland is an es-
pecial pet of the royalty, and the
young princes and Princess Mary
frequently pay informal calls. King
George was godfather to her son,
the present baronet.
/ Few American women have moved
more quietly in society circles since
arrival in England than Lady Will
fred Peek. who before her marriage
to the ealthy British baronet. was
Edwina Thornburch, of st. Louis.
Married just before the outbreak of
the war, she was hardly able to
realize that the country of her
adoption could so suddenly be
plunged into mourning. But she
bowed to the inevitable and instead
OF giving parties for society she
devoted herself to entertaining
wounded soldiers in her beautiful
Devonshire mansion. She has now
taken a luxurious apartment in
London, while arranging to build a
magnificent town house.
Disturbed conditions in Ireland are
causing many society people to
abandon their homes in Erin and
seek refuge in London. This week,
Mrs. Edmund O'Brien Is haunting
the Offices of estate agents in search
of a suitable residence. She was
formerly Miss Audrey Crawford, of
New York. She Is devoted to her
lovely Irish home at Celbridge Abby,
Kildare, where she expended huge
sums restoring what was once one
of the most famous residences of
Ireland. Her husband, who is a
brother Of Sir Timothy O'Brien, at
length prevailed upon her to leave
Ireland. He is a well-known club
man, and is likely to induce his
American wife to become one Of So
ciety's hostesses. Heretofore she
been content merely 20 entertain
Americans visiting Ireland.

wild goat hunting trip which they
made recently to san Clements Island.
Involving, as 1t did. flight aboard a
seaplate over the sixty some miles OF
Pacific Ocean that separates the main
land from the island, the shooting Of
wild oats from the side of a plane
poised in mldair and the retrieving OF
the game via motorcycle the trip was
a series OF adventures that the two
undaunted sportsmen now assert
were experiences Of a lifetime.
Four days were spent by Hogg and
Johnston hunting the Wild goats, whole
droves OF which literally infest the
island The first three days hunting
was done via motorcycle and foot. the
motorcycles being used to push in
land as far as it was possible to go,
and the remainder of the distance COW
cred by foot. on some of these trips,
the feats that the motorcycles were
called upon to perform were almost
unbelievable. Working their way for
miles up q rock strewn wash and
along the top of cactus covered ridges
where in some places the cacti were
so thick that a path had to be smashed
through. are only few OF the diff
cultiea the motorcycles surmounted

It was the fourth day that the plans
for perhaps the first combination mo-
torcycle-seaplane goat hunt ever con-
oeived were carried out by the two
ingenious motorcycles. The plane.
driven by a third party who had joined
them for the day. was used for hunt
ing down the prey, and the motorcy-
cles for bringing the victims to camp
circling over the ridges frequented by
the goats, they would pick out a like
ly looking spot, and then swooping
down from a height of from 1000 feet
to within 100 feet. would take aim and
fire before the plane @f1attened out"
and again swept upward. AS only
ridges that they judged to be access
ibIe byNmotorcycle were chosen, the
