PAY LOW WAGES
President Rosenwald, of Sears
Roeiiuck, Says Five Dollars a
Week Enough for Girls.
Chicago, .Man'll 8.--Tin* legis-|
hilivo investigation into the living i
conditions of I lie girls working |
in shops and deparl men I stores |
was livened up loday when Pros- j
idenl Itosenwald, of the Sears-j
Hoeihuek mail order house, |esli-|
lied that live dollars a week is
enough I'm' a gill lo live on; they
all live al home and il is only side
money fur I haul, lie explained,
however, dial the company could!
pay 812; t tin I it would not alfeel
the dividends of ihc company very
much, as in lull lliev had earn
ed over s I 1.0(1(1.11(1(1 and Ihe earn
ings for MM2 were over 8 I j.<1(1(1,
mm.
lie staled thill the talk that low
wages was the cause of much
prostitution was nonsense: a ma
jority of Ihe girls, lie declared,
lived at home. The average wage
paid by his company In the 5,700
girls il employed was 80 a week.
The investigation was ordered
when the hill introduced in the
stale legislature providing that
the minimum wage for women in
Ihe state should be 812 a week,
and .the department stores and
mail order houses protested that
they could not pay a minimum
of 812 and prosper; that the law
would cripple the large mail nr
drtr business done from Chicago.
An investigation was limn order
ed.
Whalebone.
The notion is popularly held
(hat whalebone is derived from
whales’ ribs, although many
persons believe that it comes
from the tail of the big mammal.
I Both notions are incorrect.
The function of whalebone in j
the life of the whale is of the ut- !
most importance. The inner edges
pf the whalebone plates are fray
ed into innumerable hair-like
processes and the whole forms a
sort of sieve whereby the whale
may sill out its food from the
sea water. It must he remem
bered that the food of this gigan
tic creature consists chiefly ol'
minute organisms, Crustacea, j
luollusca. etc., floating near tin*;
surface.
When the whale opens its
uioouth and moves along a great
multitude of these minute forms
of life find their way in. Then the
whale closes its mouth, and the
water is strained out through
the whalebone sieve, and the food
is retained.
The common uses of whale
bone are known to everybody. II
is, however, put to two uses not j
generally known even in England,
where the line internal fringes
mentioned are employed in the
making of barristers’ wigs. By
reason of their lightness, they
retain the curl better than does
ordinary hair. Fine whalebone
threads are also sometimes em
ployed to stiffen the tissue in
high-grade silks.

RARE RELICS SECURED
FROM TWO POLES
New York, March 8.--Two I»a I -
tered and storm-worn sails, one
of them from the northernmost
part of the world, and the other
one fronr the southern extremity
of all mundane creation, now rest
in the1 American Museum of Nat
ural History in Central Park. New
York.
When Explorer Peary went to
the north pole he carried with
him a small sail which he used
partly as a tent-flap and partly
as a sail in helping his sled ov
er the ice of the frozen regions.
He carried it to the north pole
and brought it hack again. 11 was
the first and only one there. When
Explorer Amundsen look his fa
mous journey to the south pole
he carried a simitar sail, the tirst
and only one lo ever reach the
southern limits. Now those sails
are lying side hy side in I he
museum, where they will res I and
recall feats of bravery and hard
ships to mankind through the
coming ages.
