New York City ILNS).-Results of
study of the wages of 465,UO women
in % large manufacturing industries
and laundry cleaning and dyeing in
dustries in II states, made by the
United States Women'S Bureau, show
that women's earnings were less than
those of men in every industry report
ing. In more than half of these indus
tries, ii was found that women av-
eraged less than the lowest avera &c
wages for men.
Same Condition in New York
Similar disparities were found in a
survey of selected manufacturing in
dustries in New York" made by the
New York State Labor Department.
The average weekly wage paid to men
i'm 1911 was $3.50 as compared to
S1975 for women, slightly lower than
the S2l.10 established as the ideal
minimum wage in the 1911 survey Of
the Division of Women in Industry.
OF the eight manufacturing indus
tries selected by the Division of Mini
mum Wage and Industry for this an
alysis, the machinery and electrical in
dustry paid the highest wages to wOn-
in in 1941. The average salary of
S239S was most nearly matched by
the wOmen's clothing industry, which
averaged $23.O7.
Service Wages Low
Lowest rates We're paid by the men 5
furnishings and knit goods industries.
which averaged $1627.
Wages in the service industries We're
found to be below the general level in
manufacturing industries. with the eN-
ception of the beauty service listing,
which showed an average wage of
S16.S4 in April, 1941.
Compilations on which these conclu-
sions We're based We're made by mem-
bers of the staff of the Division of

Horse Nettle for Colds

Not even pigs will eat the bitter,
thorny horse nettle. Otherwise
known as bull nettle. it is weed
that corn growers of our Middle
West have learned to curse eloquent
ly. 1t grows wild and widely.
But reminiscent of the announce
ment that grass may be prepared
for eating because it contains prac-
tically all the known vitamins in
rich amounts, 1t has been found that
horse nettle may be utilized to treat
the colds that will soon be common.
Indeed, experiments with extracts
from horse nettle have been sue
cessful in the treatment of indiges-
ton and infections ranging from py-
orrhea to peritonitis.
Drs. Davis M. Greenberg and The
odore Winnick of the University of
California are credited with discov-
ering a FREDERICKSBURG engine re-
sembling pepsin m horse nettle.
Called solanain, the new substance

Chiropody Was Painful
Early History Operation

In the early Nineteenth century,
itinerant u. S. BARRIERS travelled
from town to town, carrying bags
of dirty knives, and even old steels
from corsets, for pairing customers
corns. They usually charged %
cents an operation, raised hoWls OF
pain from their victims. One day,
while Longing around hotel lobby,
a lush-bearded young man from New
Hampshire named Nehemiah Keni-
son met Scotsman who had new,
painless method of removing corns.
Instead Of digging with a scalpel,
he first softened the corn in acid,
then carefully shelled it out with a
dull bone blade.
Nehemiah Kenison knew a good
business when he saw it. He ex-
amined the acid, went to Boston,
where he set up an office opposite
Old South Church. Nehemiah gener-
ously taught his trick to his sons
and half a dozen relatives, who
taught others. So began the science
OF chiropody in the U. S.
Today, although few chiropo-
dists practice in barbershops, Chi
ropody is highly respectable hand
maiden of medicine, requiring two
years of college training, three or
four years in 'one OF six approved
schools. Chiropodists like to be
known as podiatrists because, to
their horror, they are often confused
with chiropractors.

THE MARINE CORPS

FOLLOWING the formation Of
L the American marine corps
and its successful landing on
New Providence Island, its chief
duty was on board naval men-of-
war, particularly in manning the
guns in sea duels with British
frigates.
Two years after the marines
and the American navy raided
New Providence, they planned a
second assault on the island.
The small United States sloop,
Providence. with 50 sailors and
a sergeant's guard of marines
sailed on the island. Captain
Rathburne. the naval COM
mander, sailed his ship directly
into the harbor where he was
joined by a few American pris-
oners of war. This small force
then proceeded TO seize the forts,
taking possession Of the supplies
and capturing six British vessels
in the port.
Led by the green and white
clothed marines, the Americans
spiked all the guns in the fort.
removed the ammunition. small
arms and after burning two of
the captured ships, sailed away
with the four naval prizes with
out leaving a man behind.

A Sensible War Move

n EP. GEORGE A. PADDOCK (R), Illinois, has wisely
N introduced bill in Congress to give the SEC dis
erection to suspend during the emergency the mandatory
death sentence provisions of the Public Utility Holding

However the congressman, in his remarks on his
BILL has stressed the wrong for taking such sens
BILE action.
The inconvenience to security holders and financial
markets, which he emphasizes, though of some sig
nifcance are vastly less important to the American
people than the critical need of ACCELERATING THE
OUTPUT OF POWER IN WARTIME.
With equipment limited power executives should De
set free to get THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF POWER
out of EXISTING TURBINES.

He added:

TO THE EDITOR:
CAN the Grips mission to
" India succeed?
There are two bitterly opposed
factions there: one clamoring for
immediate self-government and
the other against independence.
If the British grant the Hindu
demands, that will antagonize
so 100000 MoSlems. Refusal will
mean the enmity of 300,000,0O0
lIlnduS.
That the British realize the
urgent need of conciliating India
is shown by this eleventh hour
mission. But can such divergent
aspirations be reconciled at this
time?
What this situation requires Is
the guarantee of impartial de-
ciSion by some disinterested
party whose record inspires con-
fidcncc.
II we now took over the gov
eminent of India and guaranteed
10 grant them autonomy as
quickly as they could agree on a
common formula, that would UNI

Only through this procedure
could we inspire lndia's millions
TO fight intellectually on our
side.
