DRAFTING OF
NEW BILL
Funds Lacking to Hire
Secretary; Word Of
President Awaited
BY EARL GOODWIN

Tomorrow will be May land
nothing will be done about ad.
ministering the Districts mini.
mum wage law for women and
minors, as suggested by President
Roosevelt when he wrote to the
District Commissioners on the oc-
casion of the Supreme Courts re-
vitalizing that famous statute.
The Commissioners have no
money for its administration. Con-
greSS has done nothing to indicate
the slightest interest in making any
changes in the law, as suggested
mildly by the President.
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
is out Of the city. attending the
funeral Of his father at Lynch
burg, Va. To him the Commits
Sioners entrusted the matter of
writing an amendment which
would include men in a minimum
wage standard as well as women.
Saw Legal Troubles
Mr.. Seal concluded that to
amend the existing minimum wage
law which had just emerged from
obScurity after several years of in
activity forced on it by the Su-
preme Court, might result in legal
trouble.
Mr.. Seal felt that an amend
ment on the existing law might
run afoul of the courts again and
thus invalidate the whole mini
mum wage law again. Therefore,
no attempt was made to write an
amendment and no attempt has
been made to enact a separate
law for men
The present law which Is In eff
feet but is not being administered
calls for board of three unpaid
members and a secretary at ST.
500. There has been no effort
made to get that $4,000 under the
circumstances.
No Action on Hill
Neither one of the District Com
mittees of Congress has any pro-
posed legislation on the subject.
There has been considerable dis.
cuSSion of the minimum wage
situation in the House Committee
on the District of Columbia, but
no bill has been prepared, and in
general there seems to be a COM
plete lack of interest on the sub.
ject until either the President or
the Commissioners take some
further action or make some
further suggestion.

DC. INSURANCE
RATE INQUIRY
PROMISED
Rep. Nichols Pledges
Thorough Probe Of
Life and Fire Fees

A thorough probe to determine
whether WaShingtonians are be.
ing overcharged for life and fire
insurance policies was promised
today for next Tuesday when the
House District subcommittee study
ing local tax and administrative
reforms resumes it's hearings.
The promise was made by
Representative Jack Nichols Cd
of Oklahoma, a member of the
subcommittee, who declared he
wants to get at the bottom Of
this situation" resulting from the
original charges made by j. Balch
Moor, local superintendent of in
Surance, that fire insurance COM
panieS have overcharged local
policyholders by 10 million dollars
during the last IL years.
Charges Denied
At yesterdays hearings, Moor's
charge was vhemently denied by
Edward S. Brashears, representing
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's, who claimed rates here
are fair and there is only one
other city-New York-Where the
key rate is fixed by the rating
board that has a lower rate.
AS a result Of BraShear's state
ment to the subcommittee yester-
day. as he testified that the
group he represents is willing to
pay the per cent tax on pre-
miums as proposed by the District
Commissioners, Moore pointed out
that in 1885 the fire insurance
companies here collected net
premiums amounting to $3,517 ,091
and suffered total losses Of but
81, 120,455, showing a profit OF
about 81, 400 900, or 10 per cent.
Points to Figures
At the same time, Moor revealed
that life insurance companies
operating in the city last year
showed nearly as great percen-
tage profit. He gave out figures
showing the life insurance COM
panieS last year collected net pre-
miumS of $24,507,777 and SuS-
tanned losses of $9,066, 421.
With the charges being made by
Moor and counter-charges coming
from Brashears, Nichols declared
this situation should be cleared up
and that he will have the insur-
ance superintendent recalled to
the witness stand next week in
an effort to find out how the
yields of local companies compare
with those of companies operating
in other cities.
Howard M. Startling, represent
ing the Association of Casualty
Insurance Executives, corroborated
the stateemnt of BraShears. He
told the subcommittee that, al
though his group did not welcome
additional taxes, it is willing to
stand their fair share" of the i'm.
positions which must be placed
upon the people of the city to
meet the anticipated deficit for
next year.
Called TAX on Thrift
However, a different view of
this suggested insurance tax in
crease was taken by Charles F.
Creswell, of New York, represent
ing the Association of Life In
Surance Presidents. and Howard
w. Kacy, representing the Acacia
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
a Washington organization.
The former protested the pro-
posed insurance tax on the
grounds that it is a tax on
thrift" and will result in a reduc-
ton of dividends to policyhoIders,
while Kacy pointed out that if
the tax is increased in Washing

The question of precedence,
thinks Mr.. Hammond, went deep
in the old days into the well
spring of the Old World attitude
towards us.
With a chuckle he tells of a
dispute with Prince Rupprecht Of
Bavaria over the righthand seat
in Westminster Abbey bound
carriage. The seat assigned Mr..
Hammond was already occupied
by the prince. After repeated re-
quests the prince moved over
sulkily. And addressed no word to
Mr.. Hammond as the carriage pro-
ceeded at a walk over the three
mile course.

In a charming house on Ban

rooms, deep rugs apc italian furni-
ture, lives Mrs. Vernon Kellogg,
socialite and successful writer of
books, poetry and magazine arti.
cleS.
During the years that she trav-
eled through war-torn Belgium
and Poland with her husband, who
was in charge of relief work there.
Mrs. Kellogg absorbed the things
she was later to write about.
From her canteen work with the
Belgian women, work that car
ried her from the Shell-racked
m u d ole to another, came
Women of Belgium"
When the armistice was
signed and she watched the Ger
man armies evacuate Client, then
a vertiable powder keg despite ceS-
Sation of hostilitieS, Mrs. Kellogg
helped in Belgium'S reorganiza-
ton work. 1t was from watching
the women at their looms in the
famous lace factories that Bob
bins of Belgium" was born.
Gracious and beautiful, with
curly white hair and strong cameo
features, Mrs. Kellogg was loath to
talk about herself or her work.
Asked how she first began to write
she answered gravely:
During life you meet a few
great Spirits-like Mime. Curie,
PaderewSki and Cardinal Mer-
cier. Then you write because you
want to share them with Others"
She added softly:
81 was with Cardinal MERCER
when he died. My husband and 1
had known him intimately for
years. He was truly great man
and when he died / wanted 9th
erS to know him as did. So
wrote "The Fighting Cardinal"
1t took her seven years and
three trips to Poland to complete
"Jadiwiza, I'oland's Queen" which
was published last August. Since
then the book has been printed
in Polish, French and CzchoSlo-
Vakian. Mrs. Kellogg is now work
ing on a juvenile manuscript for
school children.
She began the story, she said,
while living in Cracow, then
Poland's capital. Before she could
finish it, she and Mr.. Kellogg re-
turned to Washington. Finding she
lacked sufficient historical back
ground to complete the book she
returned to Poland and, assisted
by a professor of ancient history,
whose services were loaned her by
the University of Warsaw, spent
months on research. In telling of
it she laughed:
early each morning, rain,
snow or shine, the professor ap-
peared at my house promptly
at nine o'clock. I might have
been out late the night before
oh! how much wanted to sleep!
But no! the professor, squatting
politely on one of my drawing
room chairs, would boom at my
maid in French; Tell Madame
/ am here!' found myself

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN

II may be surprising to some to be
told that for nearly 100 years after the
Declaration Of independence no women
were employed by the government, but
such is the fact, according to statement
by the president of the Civil Service Com
mission.
The first law permitting the employ
ment Of women as clerks in Federal gov
eminent offices was passed in 1870. To-
day more than $4,000 women are employ
ed in such offices in Washington alone,
while nearly $4,000 or more are employed
outside of the capital city.
Women are being appointed to. such
government positions as bacterioIogist,
biologist, botanist, chemist, economist.
educationist. patent examiner, pharmac-
ologist. physicist, statistician, zoologist and
technologists of various kinds, and many
women hold postmasterships. A woman
is Secretary of Labor and several are court
judges.
The employment of women in private
business has shown steady increase also,
the number of women wage-earners being
nearly ten million.
Whether this increasing activity of
women in industry. business and the pro-
fessions is an indication of an improved
civilization depends upon ones viewpoint.
However that may be. women have shown
their ability to engage successfully in
nearly every vocation under the sun, and
that they will continue tn do 81 can not he
doubted.
