FOR, MINIMUM WAGE

Another victory for the mini
mum wage has been achieved IN
Washington, D. c. The District
Minimum Wage Board had fixed
the rates for women over 18 years
of age employed in cafes, clubs
and hospitals at $3.50 a week.
The Children's Hospital challeng-
ed the law on the ground that Con-
gress had no authority to pass a
law interfering with the freedom
of contract. The hospital assert
ed that the $3.50 rate. amounted
to confiscation of property with
out due process of law and that it
bred socialism.
The court of appeals held that
''there is no absolute freedom to do
as one Wills" and that the Four4
teenth Amendment protects
against arbitrary privation or
spoilation but does not provide
Immunity from reasonable regula-
tons for proper purposes" 1t rd-
ed that the hospital should show
proof that the minimum wage law
was harmful. When this was not
done the court dismissed the claim
as unfounded, stating that the eff
feet of the Law was the opposite of
harmful, and that SCongress has
the right to enact laws for the pro-
motion of health, safety, morals
and welfare of those subject to its
jurisdiction"
The. United States Supreme
Court had previously upheld the
validity of Oregon's minimum
wage act. In connection with this
recent decision it is worth while to
recall that employers in many DIFF
ferens hnes-manufacturers, de-
partment store heads, etc.,-have
issued public statements to the eff
feet that the minimum wage re-
acted to the benefit of employer
as we'll as employee.

it might; be in many sections, and
the stimulus Of the need for work
is resulting, as always, in better
work all around. The attitude of
the nation is more sober than it
wasZand no prohibition joke is IN
tended, either.
Many people are asking, on every
occasion, when times will be nor
NAL again" Their plaintive quer-
les deserve but one reply. What
do you mean,. normal?"
IF normal conditions mean such
conditions as obtained in this coun-
try from 1915 to 1920, there should
be a day Of national fasting and
prayer that they will never re-
turn.
Conditions are really nearer
normal now, Cor under normal con-
ditions men must work honestly
and we'll for what they get and do
their own saving for their own fu-:
lures. It is as it should be.
No man who is worth CONT
mental ever expects to get quite all
that he is worth. If he gets any
thing like it, and he IS wise, he
knows he has, one foot on the to-
boggan.
"Soft times are going,"-have
gone, in fact. Why not admit it.
and stop regretting it?

GRATITUDE TO HAITI.

American opinion of the Haitians
sas been pretty rough lately, as a
resaH OF the disorder in their is
issld which American marines have
to suppress and Of the appar-
uzlwaranted charges the ma
tres have brought against the
erieans. 1t is well, as the
|nerscan withdrawal approaches,
remember that Haiti is entitled
her record to a considerable
|saraoslnt OF respect and gratitude
on the part of the United States.
Eow many Americans know that
I HAITI helped this country gain its
Independence? Not one in 1000.
not In the scholo histories, and
It is in the histories it goes un-
Saloticed. A thorouah<going stu
dent of history calls attention to
StEEie facs, which is sustained by un-
assaiIable evidence, that during the:

This phrase has been used most
effectively for some months past
by big national advertiser, and
fits. It woult; be hard to find
another eight-word combination
Mn.ch serves better to describe the
ndIstrial, commercial and finan-
vc;al phenomena which the nation
has been witnessing.
We may be loath to admit it,
sbalt the United States has had a
rather easy time of it in the past
half dozen years. OF course, there
have been sacrifices and tremen-
dous ones, sacrifices which can
1ot but command worlds respect.
Bat for the most part, Americans
worked no harder chan they had
worked III the decade before, and
they were very much better paid
sfor it. Few. however, will argue
no5. lat we gained by it perma-
1ently, either as worknen or as a
nation.
Things have changed. Compar-
aemely few incomes show much Of
M ret gain beyond hte normal that
comes with increasing years and
skill Work is not so plentiful as

MASCULINE AND
FEMININE.

Here is sanot ther angle :.tp the.
QUESTION of { rwaey,aen : clothes: A.
New York clothing salesman,
whose vocation qualities him TO-
know exactly what women wear,
says that talk about women keep
ing cool in het weather through
sheer wilIpower is nonsense-that
their comfortable aspect, compaf-
ed with mems, due not to psychol-
ogy but to clothes.
"Whae they're thinking says
this realist, makes no difference.
It's what they put on, or rather
what they leave off, that makes
'em COOL.
"Put one of these high, stiff
mems collars on the most trapped
woman in America, and she'd lose
her July morale in 80 seconds, and
she wouldn't recover till you'd ua-
covered her neck and chest.
''Then there's the matter OF
arms. When women wear sleeves
at all, they're l:ttle dabs Of lace
around their shoulders. We wrap
our arms up, and finish with a
nice, stiff band round the button
where our wrist arteries will be
swaddled and the blood warmed
as it flows through.
GAS for legs and ankles, one
filmly layer OF silk for them and
clese-fitting length Of something
at least partly woolen for u.s.
The womaH's costume, ne says,
weighs only few ounces. The
mans weighs several pounds.
Wherefore mis- conclusion that
perhaps women show more judg-
ment than men do
They certainly do, this time Of
the year, whatever the truth may
be in cold weather And it is the
same old fact that fair-minded men
have been forced TO admit for
many years. The only difference
IS that this summer the women are
even more sensible than usual,
compared with the men.

A report is current In railroad
circles that an attempt was made
Thursday night to wreck train
No. 5S-the train leaving Sumter
for Augusta at 9:30-just this
side of the Savannah river, right
near where they attempted to
wreck it several weeks ago. Some
one had piled lot OF bridge
timber on the track. The engineer
saw the obstacle in time to stop.
When they got to Augusta they
notified crew of 81. which comes
back an hour later. When this
train reached the spot the tilnbers
had been replaced on the track.
