AIR MAIL SERVICE POSSIBLE IN STATE IN EVENT OF T1EUP

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, July 20. Aerial delivery of mail throughout Indiana could be accomplished with little difficulty in the event that mail trains are ever halted by a railroad strike or by some catastrophe. When the strike of shopmen threatened paraly

More than 100 cities in Indiana have landing fields available for airplanes and many others are in a position to establish temporary landing fields on short notice. Aviators who are familiar .with the topography of the state say there are few communities

that would not be accessible to air

planes. The rolling, level fields make it possible for the airmen to effect a

landing . without difficulty in nearly

every county. It is pointed out that by using airplanes for the longer hauls and motor trucks for shorter distances a mail

Minimum Wage For Women By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

delivery system could be worked out which would be nearly as efficient as that used at present and in some cases might even be speedier. Many Fast Ships There are few large airplanes In

the state but there are a number of small ships that could be utilized. Privately owned planes are said to number at least 100 while government planes and ships owned by commercial aviation companies would make up at least another hundred. The principal landing fields for Indianapolis are at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and at Fort Benjamin Harrison. There are several other fields which could be used in an emergency, however. Two commercial companies maintain fields and landings can also be made at the State Fair grounds. Outside of Indianapolis the principal flying center of the state is at

Kokomo where the national guard air

squadron of the Fifth Army Corps is

stationed. This squadron could furn

ish a number of pilots and several!

ships for mail delivery. A commercial company also maintains several ships at Kokomo and also has an ideal landing field "with facilities for repairing planes.

In Kansas a similar group recently

gave an opinion that a salesgirl can live on $11 a week. This rate has become the minimum wage there, but it is being fought by the women involved. Miss Alice MacFarland of the Industrial Relationship Court submits $16.93 as the minimum wage for Kansas, compatible with health. Employ

ers insist that living costs are materially cheaper than a few years ago, and that $11 is ample. Obviously, somebody's answer is wrong. Most people regard these minimum wage contests in diferent states from a casual and impersonal point of view

In California the minimum wagelor some industdies has recently been reduced from $16 to $15, and the general tendency is for employers to seek reductions. They claim cheaper living costs. The Woman's Bureau reports

that while some items, clothes, for example, may be cheaper, other ex

penses remain at high levels, and the

It is pretty well proved that the girl who is healthy, properly fed, and reasonably contented is the worker who is cheerful and efficient. A sales girl's grouch is more often due to a poor lunch or financial worries than to ingrowing meanness. Then too. the worker who does not make a living cannot spend, and this affects business. But aside from any personal interest in the minimum wage, the public is being asked to take an altruistic interest in the matter. Women, especially, and women's organizations are be

ing urged to look into the minimum wage question, and to work for a fair deal for employer, employe, and the public. The Woman's bureau cf the Labor Department advocates this: Woman's Bureau Interested

is practically sure of being confirmed

by the wage board.

At a hearing the other day low priced suits were exhibited by buyers from different department stores. The men fingered the material and said that the suits "looked pretty good." The women around the conference table held up the skirt to see how widj each was. A cheap skirt, they said, often

Shoes, stockings, serge dress, "dress-up-dress," coat, shirtwaists, gloves and summer dresses were all submitted to a third degree examination. As cross examiners of the buyers the women members of the conference put the men in the shade. They expressed expert, based-on-ex-perience opinions as to which garments shown were good values and which were, attractive but shoddy. Must Shop for Bargains A representative of the Woman's

Reduction of interest rates on real estate loans from seven to six per cent was announced Thursday by the Richmond Building and Loan association.

The Woman's Bureau believes that two women representatives of the public should be in every wage conference, rather than two men an i one woman. It also says that more women should attend the hearings of the wage conferences, because women know more than men about buying and what a girl can live on.
