SPEAKING OF ICE

In 1928 McCarty raj mayor of New
Orleans.
A cargo of ice arrived at the docks,
the first ever. seen in the city.
Mayor McCarty called out the po-
lice and fire department and threw
the ice into the river.
He said that drinking ice water
chilled the innards and, in that way,
caused consumption. /
Charles Gayarre, in writing on the
Bench and Bar of Louisiana in
Harper's Magazine in May. 1888, was
a little disposed to agree with Mayor
McCarty. ~
Gayarre wrote: Consumption,
now 80 common among US, was al
most unknown prior to the establish
ment ,tof the custom of drinking ice
water and iced alcoholic beverages"
There is no proof that drinking ice
Waco Causes consumption, and it IL
safe to say there was a world Of con-
sumption in New Orleans before May
or McCarty dumped the cargo of ice
into the Mississippi.
This is not the first onslaught that
Ice has suffered at the hands of au-
thorities.

In water were generally killed when
the water was frozen, and that the
survivors all died OF within five
months. when the ice was held SO
long. Therefore, ice was reasonably
safe, except when it was taken from

THE INVITATION TO REsuME.

Mr.. Lewis, head of the coal strike committee,
refers to the presidents invitation to the coal CD.
orators to resume mining as a gesture which will not
be productive of much coal. The statement is made
with a very natural appearance of satisfaction, for
the essence of the strike is the curtailment of coal
production. @ 4
The operators have had no need of an invitation
from the president or anybody else to mine coal.
They have been at liberty to go right along mining
during these weeks that the mines have been idle.
In some quarters there has been doubt as to the de-
sire of the mine owners to have the work 20 on. 1t
has beer charged that sthey.were quite satisfied to
let things remain as they were, and to market their
stocks at the prevailing high prices.
However that may be. on the surface of things
1t has appeared that the mines were not being oper-
ated because the men ordinarily employed in them
refused to work. In some cases outsiders have been
employed, but the production from this cause has
not been large, and violent conflicts have taken
place which may have stood in the way Of the gener-
al employment Of non-union miners.
But the presidents invitation mustFbe under
stood to mean something moreIgtnan a granting of
permission to do that which the operators had per
mission to do before. It implies recognition that coal
must be mined now, and that there must be no more
waiting Tor a pacific arrangement between the two
contending groups. The operators are invited to
begin mining with such help as they can find. They
have the assurance that they Or their employees and
their property will be protected in this activity BY
the full physical force Of the nation, If that should be
necessary. And there IS the further implication that
# on these terms and win this assurance the SSop-
orators cannot mime coal the government will. 8ss

MINIMUM WAGE FOR WOMEN
BY FREDERIC !. HAsK1N,

Washington, D. c., July 17.-How
much farther will q dollor go now
than. it would go in 1919? This
sounds like a school boys arithmetic
problem, but 1t is causing all sorts OF
worry tog rayhaired employers, earn
est young store clerks. and bewilder-
ed members of the public. So far.
other. r.
The factions that are struggling
with higher mathematics as applied
to rent, summer dresses, and carfare
are h members of the minimum
wage board and advisory conference
in this city.
In Kansas a similar group recently
gave an opinion that a saiesgirl can
live on 311 a week. This rate has
become the minimum wage there, but
it is being fought by the women in
volved. Miss Alice MacFarland OF
the Industrial Relations Court sub
mits 1858 as the minimum wage for
Kansas, compatible with health. EN-
materially cheaper than a few years
ago, and that $11" is ample. Obvious
~, somebody's answer is wrong.
Most people regard these minimum
wage contests in different states from
a casual and impersonal point Of
view. The issue seems so remote
whether girls in stores and factories
shall be allowed money tob uy three
shirtwaists or four in a year; whether
a SIS suit should last them two years.
Yet!the issue does concern the pub
lie vitality. It is pretty we'll proved
that the girl who is healthy, properly
worker who is cheerful and efficient.
A salesgirl's crouch is more often duo
to a poor lunch or financial worries
than to i~ngrowing meanness. Then,
too, the worker who does not make
a living cannot spend, n this af-
fects business.
But aside from any personal inter-
est in the minimum wage, the public
is being asked to take an altruistic
pecially, and women's Organisations
are being urged to look into the mini
mum wage question, and to work for
a fair deal for employer, employe and
of the Labor department advocates
this.
Woman's Bureau Interested.
While it is working. directly for
women's welfare. the bureau says
that it aims to be fair and impartial
in its attitude toward the minimum
wage. Ita> workers have made
numerous surveys OF living conditions
and have submitted evidence to wage
conferences. In some cases the ou-
reau's budget has been called too gen.
erous by the employers involved In
the wage controversy. In other cases,
some items have been listed by the

Not many persons will question the Republican
ism OF a. 9. Divet, whose statement in support of

can, but he has been, and is, a vigorous and aggres-
sive one in all matters where party differences count.
He was one of the supporters Of Senator McCumber.
But the case SO far as Mr.. McCumber is concerned
IS now closed. The question, as Mr.. Divet sees
clearly, is whether the state shall be represented in
the United States senate BY Mr.. Frazier. discredited
and recalled, or by Mr.. O'Connos, who, though of
another political faith, has for six years stood Shout

state, fighting in the same cause, and contributing
ssplendidly to their success.
Those voters in the Republican ranks who have
gone through campaign after campaign, opposing
Nth all their might the assaults Of socialism, who
have seen their state launched Upon a course which

Nick grew old enough to ask for the
truth about Beauty she was an ideal
and he WAS bound 10 defend her.
The return Of the Girl just about
that time had something TO do with IL,
doubtless. Fer the Girl was a sort OF
reflection Of his mother-neither strong
in will, nor too kindly; practical. with
a love Of material things only, and full
OF a Snug. self-satished content. She
accepted Nick's boyish admiration with
out thought Of retsrn.
II was natural for Nick TO seek out
his mother. Nature and Beauty's poig-
nant fascination had given him love
for her and a devotion which no ex-
planation by a mere father could re-
move, Nick must find her out for him
self. In finding her he assumed a
mans responsibilities.
On the heels Of this came the Girl
again and Romance. Or was Joan really
Romance? But we must not tell All the
story. The author leaves Nick with his
life before him and a peculiarly trying
set Of experiences behind; equipped.
one might say, for bitterness. But We
need not fear for him, for from the
very beginning he was blessed with the
happy ability OF understanding the
heart OF things
All through the book the author
makes vivid pictures for US; not by long
descriptions but rather, here and there,
BY a simple statement that sets the
mind of on countless speculations,
dresmings. wonderings and pleasant
musings.
Yet even II Philip Gibbs did not write
in that kindly style which lends you
the key 10 things rather than drags
them forth naked TO your eyes, the
book would be well worth reading. I'm
like so many writers to-day who fash
ION a tale-and very cleverly indeed
from the slightest rags and tags that
have no vital interest. this author
really has story 10 tell. II is because
he is an artist that he tells il with such
sure. swift touch and such a delicate
simplicity. II. VI. GIRVAN.
