ii?ES REAL HISTORY It rr. ay r more dramatic to watch the mating of 9ttn-.n in Washington ft s fhey make and rtnuko law-, more interesting to follow with the yo of imagination the truggl'-s of Ireland for ral freedom, or of Fi a mo to 'decide Its nationality, but for real h-tory turn to Topeka, In the etat of That commonwealth .among Its othr progressive measures that have come from tho Inspiration of "William Aln White anJ his colleagues in humanitarian movements, has a minimum wage law for women. Jt Is a carefully planned law, with a commission empower. I to dccld the lowest w,i?c that may bo paid to any woman employed In any Industry, the theor' beir.tr that It Is urafo for eroclety to permit ltd potential mother to live on a wago that Is not up to the Ftandards of po-M II vir. p. The comm!:on Is trying to d?c!d Just what that wacre fhall V tho lowest levM, not the highest, at which a woman may live respectably and healthily and not bo driven to look questlonmgly down the path marked the "easiest way." The employers furnished expert tetlmony. They averted that any woman can pet along: on $87.50 worth of clothes each year, and one high salaried woman went Into deta!. pointing to the fact that It Is now po???lblo to purchase very comfortable cotton atockincs for cents a pair. The answer wa? emphatic. What are described a "mobs" pat he red at her Ft or next day, mobs composed cf work In sr. girl?, who wanted to 6ee what wrt of .stockings It was proposed to put them Into. The wires say that they toro cv tho exhibits offered and declared that they wouia never go tack to that eon of raiment. Economist. and financiers can larn mora from that demonstration In Topeka than they can ever find out from tho voluminous statistics gathered by tho federal trade commission. Legislator?, wise onc. will discover the real basif? on which laws must bo made In the- future for It represents an attitude of mind which Is not confined to America but Is world-wide. During th war, labor, and especially woman's labor, reached a new high peak of reward. In London, for Instance, the. munition makers, drawn from domestics and shops, earned more money In a month than they had before obtained In a half year'a work. The wives cf men who remained at home In Industry found themselves with more money than they had dreamed of and there was an orgy of pending that startled with its garish lavishness. It became a matter of news that wives of workers were the big customers for fura and for silks and that ther was no demand whatever for cotton fftocklrgs for women. All were able to buy ellk and liked tho touch of fl!k against their fleah. Thes5 working girLa of Topeka learned in thoso days, too, what the touch of silk stockings meant and it was no longer a Jest among women that a woman w;. a lady, even If fhe did wear them. What the women of Topeka and Kansas are saying I what the women of London and Paris and TJerlln and Moscow are thinking that they Intend to keep on in the level of lifo which they had reached in tho war day. They do not Intend to go back to cotton neither the glrla who work fyr wagea nor the wives of workers, who demand the thing to which they became accustomed. It may be unfortunato for the world but it happens to bo true. Those who direct and rlan world affairs must take that emotion of this feminine Kansas mob Into their calculations. It la qulto as important as the re of value of pounda sterling or of tho lira or the franc. If it mear-s more work for the. men of the world, the male portion of the Industrial world may as well resign themselves to more work. If it means newer inventions, greater labor saving ib-v'.tLS. greater production of everything that goe ir.tT what is called civilization, the situation might as well be faced. Tho revolution in Kansas against cotton clocking? '. a 1 it of world psychology perhaps a not altogether unfortunate trend, even if uncomfortable at prent. if it illustrates a determination never to wirrender any cliff or crag captured in the drive towards higher civilization. Silk stockings may bo Just a symbol and you can put it down j truth that what lurks In the mlnd of tl.f.-o Cornflower maidens Is fermenting and fomenting in th bralr-s of their sisters In the Ftrar.d. tho Linden or the Kue de la Paix.

If th"re is any service In which trained mn who can fumL'h certificates cf character which will meet the approval cf a non-partisan board rather than the test3 of delivering vots, this is the one. Much of the public disgust with prohibition enforcement Li directly traceable to the political and venal motive of enforcers which have been apparent in many localities

OfT.cers have been selected for their polo knowledge of politic and for the purpose of trading protection for campaign aLPtance, both moral and financial. Tb enforcement of the law against drug felling :s placed In the hands of a department operated under civil service. Kven a congressman, anxious for re-election, rather balked at using the protection of drug vendors a a political asset Different about booze. The only reason advanced for exempting this branch of government from this law is that political expediency tf against it. Every argument in favor of an efüelent. nonpolitical administration In any branch of government applies with a hundredfold force in this one particular service. o THE PROMISED LAND Many have been the interpretations and descriptions of the promised land but it remains for a group pf Mennonites to show sincerity in their belief that it exists In Mexico. A peculiar group, these 20,000 cf men and women who collectively own many millions of dollars and individually are pledged to simple living and plain penury. The men. long bearded as the prophets of old. stern and forbidding In aspect, rule with an iron hand. There is no frivolity about woman's right3 or opportunities for children of higher education. Their reason for leaving Manitoba, wherv they had brought Into cultivation thousands of acres cf land by Irrigation, is the fact that the Canadian government insisted that they maintain schools and nd that their children be forced to attend them. Forthwith they decided to sell their lanis in Canada for about a third of their real value, purchase a tract of 200,000 acres in Mexico, and the exodus has begun. Their definition of the "promised land" U one without cities. Not more than 10 families are permitted to reside In the same village, for they have a fixed belief that citice are built by the devil and that virtue is possible only In email communltlee. Their sincerity, fanatical as it may eeem. is beyond dispute but their beliefs are such as to Invite pity, if not derision. Devoting themselves to the service of a divinity, they place no greater reliance in divinity than to believe that the heart of man is unable to cling to Ills teachings when tempted by contact with other men. Devoting themselves to lives of poverty, they amass millions. Yet all the millions that they may be able to savo will never bo used for any higher riarpo. than putting scant coarse food in the stomachs of their own people. V them the great miracle of the modern city to an illusion and a snare, rather than a triumph and a temple. They see nothing In the great net work of subways and street car lines, nothing In the great glow of electric lights, nothing Jn the magnificent buildings of brick but a temptation to evil. The promised land to them Is tho simple soil. In which they plant seeds and from which they obtain no delight beyond mere food. They are Important, only as showing that sincerity and sacrifice are the price which all must pay who would enter any "promised land." To him who has created in his brain the vision of fame comes the lesson that to obtain it he must throw aside the unimportant or even Important things that block the way and be ready to follow the call wherever it may lead. Those who have chosen the path of real service must expect to find it strewn with obstacles. Compromises with the forces that block that road are impossible. Evasions will not lead to the goal. "What a pity that these stern men, Implacable and determined, have not painted for themselves a promised land that would envision every girl at least a human being with rights, every son a man who would be multiplied In power and faith by greater education. For that fanatical procession, wending its way to a new land and to unknown dangers, is moved by the pplxit that could be used to advantage in a world that needs the faith, the will, tho courage that It displays. 0 OiV THE SCEXT Perfume tales are Increasing This is a sure sign that world business conditions arc improving. So says Fernand Javal. of the Iloubigant perfumery works In France. In hard times, says Javal, luxuries such as perfumes arc tho first to feci the paring knife of economy. When times get better, wives and daughters havo moro money to spend. Presto! Up go the sales of perfumery, rnuge, powder and cosmetics. This theory should make lifo more interesting to tconomlats. Graphing perfume sales will be more enticing than steel ingot tonnage, freight traffic, fire losses or ebb-and-flow of the stock market. In reviving perfume Industry, Javal notices this interesting fact: The people, are buying more expensive perfumes, war having refined their tastes, accustomed them to better things and created a desire for a higher standard of living. Time, deflation and paying off the war debt will tell whether the world's people are biting off moro than they can chew. In Russia, says Javal. the revolution ended the ales of the better grade cf perfumes. But the sales have started up again, indicating this: When the urper classes of society are destroyed, in their rlace soon appears a new proup with the same tastes. (Usires and wants. This replacing group shows that civilization is Hkt . coral reef. Cut off the top and it is soon replaced by new growth. The tendency forever H from below upward. Like a growing tree crop follows crop until tho tree or civilization bec:mes extinct. In France, before the war. perfume sales were mostly in cities. New the big demand come? from email towns. The war has redistributed wealth, which is a good thing. Germans are hoarding perfume, knowing that it has an International value, '.(s apt to depreciate than the mark. pfrfuir.es were invented in anci-:it days, when few tool; baths, to enable people to get close to -aci other without grieving the .ct.v of smell. 11' cn in mod.-rn :i:nts. t!..- w-rld would be much

Editor South Bend News-Times: Your editorial. "Is This the Answer " In yesterday's paper, March 2nd. is to make every parent, father or mother, think. I am a mother of three boys, the oldes IS and the youngest 13. While they are old enough to know right from wrong, they are not old enough to know and goverr Impulse. It Is enough to make every mother weep, to think of a child, a boy of 15. spending his whole life In prison, without one kind friend. It Is enough to make every expectant mother look forward with dread instead of joy to the birth of her child dread that it will be a manchlld. Another terrible thine: is the hanging of Henry Church in his practically dead condition. It Is a blot and a disgrace to civilization. Let him die as he is, not hang him. Let his old parents not suffer the disgrace of having their son hang. They made the sacrifice, thousands of others did gave hfm to their country. Anyone who is an

understanding observer cf children or human nature must realize that the boy of 15 who suddenly felt an Impulse to kill something should be sent to a hospital instead of prison. Harvey Church, if he had remained in a normal condition, should be hinged, but to hang a dead man! Are we drifting back to the dark ages? Give us more hospitals with

"clean, noble men and women to

help those unfortunates who lack mental balance. Make oar prisons, hospitals where scientific men can study tho criminal mind. I think anyone who commits murder is suffering from insanity, unless it is premeditated. and sometimes It Is insanity which leads one to plan murder. It should be the aim of every intelligent woman to work for these reforms, instead of spendin? their precious moments working and perspiring day after day to see which one will get china cup and saucer or tin whistle given to the one who is luckiest at c?rds.

TIli: OPTIMIST. The barren ims sway to and fro, The wind is shrewd and chill, And underneath the drifted snow The seeds arc steering still. But on his perch above the gate. Throughout the gloomy day, The sparrow chatters to his mate That spring is on tho way. There is no portent In the sky Of brighter days to come; On leaden wings the crow sails by. The jay sits sour and glum. But on his perch above the gate. With hope eternal filled. The sparrow chatters to his mate: "Let's find a place to build." The ghostly trees, all bare and dead, Wo pensively behold; We know that March is still ahead, With wind and snow and cold. But on his perch above the gate The sparrow flirts his win. And chatter to his little mate: "Well. w?ll! Ilere'.s young Miss Spring!" The sparrow hasn't any son? To charm our cares away;

Swatches I never knew what was meant by "Swatches' till today. 'Tis said that one learns something every day and 1 suppose that was what I was ordained by fate to learn this day. Anyway, a swatch, I learned, is a sample in this case of an imported cretonne of heavy linen or cotton weave, hand stamped with designs of wor.drous colorings.
