MATTRESSES PAY
BIC PROBLEM Of
D. C. CONFERENCE
Conferees Agree on
Only Two Items

The District Minimum Wage
Conference was in agreement to-
day that mattresses need only one
pair of so cent rubbers a year in
Washington and can get around
town on a $1.25 weekly street car
pass.
Two dozen other items, though,
spelled trouble for the conferees.
One Of them involved the ability
of mattresses to wash their own
hair.
$12 FOR SHAMPOOS
Hair-washing, along with rouge,
lipstick. hair-cutS, powder and per.
manent waves came under the un-
romantic heading of "sefim-
provement" on budgets submitted
in support of minimum wage esti.
mates by representatives Of hotel
and restaurant workers and their
employers.
The mattresses said their idea of
"self-improvement" called for an
annual expenditure of $35, S12 Of
which went for shampoos and
hair-cuts. L Gardner Moore, of the
Shoreham Hotel management, ex.
pressed amazement at the sham.
poo item and drew from a comely
waitress the assertion her sister
workers were certainly not" able
to wash their own tresses.
PERMANENTS COUNT UP
1t took the good offices Of Mrs.
William Kittle, chairman of the
Minimum Wage Board, to explain
to Moore the process took more
than soap and water. There are
such matters as finger sets and
permanents entailed which need
expert attention, she said.
For membership in organiza.
tions, the employees asked SIS be
set aside each year, while the EN-.
ployers thought $500 was suffi-
cient.
On cross examination by Moore.
Arthur Schoenthal, employe rep
resentative, said the mattresses
needed SIPS a month for union
dues or dues in other bodies. Moore
replied his group did not take
union dues into consideration and
asked that they be set UP under
a separate classification.

RETWEEN travels and reading and
~ writing of travel. Edwin Robert
Petre. director of the Institute Of For
eign Travel, pauses to ask: How far
could one travel in America on train
for $5?" And he answers, If the 2
cents a mile rate holds then its $50
miles. In Finland one may travel
900 miles for this amount. How much
would it cost to travel first class on one
Of our lake steamers for 18 hours? We
don't know, but we are quite sure that
it would be many times more than the
SITS it costs to do this in Finland.
These are but two of the interesting
facts we learn from Sydney Clark's
new book, Finland on Fifty Dollars
(McBride, $225). Mr. Clarke has had
numerous experiences writing on diff
ferent European countries and how to
have summers holiday in them ON
$50 but he admits that in no other
country will $50 stretch so far and he
wanted to call his book Finland Twice
on Fifty Dollars
"Of course, there may be cynic who
will exclaim, But who wants to spend
$50 on Finland?' If there is, he should
be warned not to read this book or he
will be one of the first to go.
Modern Finland is in several ways
not only far ahead of many countries
in Europe. but can give us Americans
a lesson on civilization. The architec-
ture of Helsinki, the capital. is famous
to every student of the building arts;
Sibelius, its composer, is admitted the
greatest of modern music makers; its
athletes carry off Olympic prizes as
matter of routine 1t has abolished
poverty and got rid of its slums. and
alone of all the countries Of the world,
it pays its war debts to America. Its
economic system, based on consumer
cooperation, has made it a rich coun-
try. rich enough even to let us tourists
enter for summers holiday on less
money than We would have to pay any,
where else in Europe. Even taxi
drivers ask no tips in Finland"

CLOGHROE, Ireland, May 28.-
Bowling in Fire is done on the open
roadway and bears no resemblance
to the more sedate variety popular
81 America.
In Fire it is game of strength
as well as skill. Usually two men
from widely separated places are the
contestants, each being backed by the
entire population Of his own town.
The course is of to 4 miles in length,
the idea being to negotiate the dis
tance to an agreed-upon public house
TN the fewest number of throws, using
. 28-ounce iron ball. The game is
most popular in County Cork, where
The best of the bowlers can throw
the heavy ball about 10 yards with an
additional roll of about 100 yards.
Often the contestants play across
corners or even over houses to shorten
the distance, much as golfers often
try the most direct, even If most haz-
ardous, line to the green.
