The effort being made to fix a
minimum wage for women probably
will fail as every attempt at price
fixing fails sooner or later. A de-
mand for any particular product or
for labor cannot be attained by legis-
lation, nor can prices be regulated by
law excepting perhaps those pertain
ing to foreign goods thru the opera
ton of the tariff system. There can
be no successful price fixing by gov
eminent unless the price fixing be
universal and equitable. and, since hu-
man beings are not perfect. there can
be no just and equitable arrangement
OF price scales. Satisfactory price
fixing is impossible when men try
their best. How then can it be done
when somebody is endeavoring to OBJ
tain an advantage over his fellows?

DEFENDS P. W. C.
The Rev. A. L. NystrOm Wanted
to March With Girls.
Prof. w. A. Irwin of Washburn
Commends Topeka Minister.

The "ooor working girl" and every
body else is entitled to proper dress
and a decent living, was the deciara-
ton of the two principal speakers at
the fourteenth annual banque- OF the
Norden Benefit association at the
Swedish Bethel church Friday night
Rev. A. L. Nystrom. in his address,
THE Upward Trend" asserted that
he would have liked to march with
the girls who made a tour OF the shop
ping district in search of the renowned
twenty-five cent hose. Nice eiothess
he said, enable us to meet the world
opinion that the heads of department
stores would not employ girl dressed
in the clothes that $S7.55 a year would
buy.
Prof. William A. Irwin. of the eco
noruics department of Washburn col
lege, in a toast on citizenship, com
mended Reverend Nystrom for his
stand and his frankness in expressing
his opinion.
IF I were to venture one criticism
of the churches of today he said, 1t
would be to the effect that they main
tain too deep a silence on questions OF
this kind. We need more men ike
your pastor, here, who will take a
stand on questions of such vital I'M
portance to the public welfare"
Professor Irwin declared that every
man is entitled to a decent living, n
clean place TO raise his children and
at least a taste of the pleasures of life
In this connection he denounced the
modern pictures shows, branding them
as an institution of evil when they
might be made a powerful force for
good.
1.-The last picture show I attended"
said he, was named Broken Bios
SONS" 1t was supposed to be a
masterpiece, but the outstanding fea-
lures were three murders and two sui
cides."
Reverend Nystrom pointed out the
Improvement in the world thru ages
past and said he believed 1t was be-
coming a better place in which to live.
Oscar W. Carlson, undersheriff, was
toaster at the banquet, which was at
tended by about $50 persons. DR.. o.
L. Erickson gave a talk on Nordea
progress since 1908. The musical pro-
gram consisted of vocal duets by
Misses Viola Bergeson and Esther
Lindgren, violin solos by Werner Nord-
strum, vocal solos by Miss Helen
Francis Frisbey, piano duets by Mr..

The problem of Europe's indebted
ness to the United States will be a
live issue for many years to come, the
National Bank of Commerce in New
York believes. Because of the present
worldwide business depression. the
confusion in international trade, and
the financial difficulties of a number
OF the nations of Europe, refunding
legislation does not settle the large
question of international obligations.

funding the debts does not get the

Dorothy Dix Talks
Gettine Their Number-2.
NJ DOROTHY DIX
Worla's 61shess Paid Woman Writes.

Now, when the average woman does
not get along in peace and harmony
with the average husband, it is be-
cause she is not willing to take the
trouble to manage him. She knows
perfectly well how to do it.
She has got his number down to the
last figure. She knows just what sub
Jects are like waving a red flag at a
mad bull. She knows his every little
weakness, and could say them back
wards in her sleep. She knows just
how to jolly him. and just how to rile
him. She knows even before he
knows himself, just what he is going
to do and say, and how he can be
cajoled into doing the things he said
he never would do, and prevented
from doing the things he has set his
heart upon doing.
But a man has no such guide along
the matrimonial pathway, because he
starts out to go it blind. without even
a road map to show him where the
hairpin turns are in his wife's dispo-
sition, and where the matrimonial car
will skid over the brink and get
ditched, if he doesn't put on the
brakes.
Which is a pity, because it would
be money in a mans pocket, and peace
in his home If he would only study his
wife enough to get the combination
that works her.
It would pay a man to know. for
instance, that women put far more
value on words than they do on deeds,
and that a man may work himself to
death for a woman, yet she may
doubt his love. and be miserable, but
she will be perfectly happy and be-
lieve every word he says if he swears
his devotion to her, yet lets her take
in boarders TO support him
1t would also pay men to know that
a woman will break her neck to
please a man who praises her, but she
will not turn her hand over to con-
ciliate a knocker. Therefore, if a
man wants his wife to be thrifty, and
a good cook, all that he has to do is
to be continually Dragging about her
dinners, and what a good manager
she is.
It would likewise profit a man to
know that when his wife complains
of having to do without things, and
how hard she has to work. that all
she is bidding for is just sympathy.
and that if he will tell her that he
would like to see her dressed like the
Queen of Shebas and that she is a
household angel, she will be Just as
satisfied as she would be with trunk
full of imported frocks and a dozen
sc rvants.
1t is a pity. for mems own sakcs,
that they don't think it worth while
to study women. But it makes a
great graft for the women.
