"The head-waiter at the Strand cafe," says a well-known busi- I ness man, "has evidenced the most rabid pro-German tendencies. I Of course he does not like to say much in the presence of guests, because he realizes that the soldiers who frequent the dining room in their hours of leisure would be likely to rise in their wrath and give him a few lessons in ettiquette, Nevertheless, he loses no opportunity of covertly sneering at the British and announcing his confidence ai an ultimate victory for German arms." i. -tnrougn Hi d Gdverjitrrent. and slilities temporarily i this���this recipr iinin ���v,a:. trans.pdr.t:i ;ei[ through Can hie-:- o-f lire Fed 1 the outbreak o t the plan nru-.-' McCli McClinto .'inber Of ., Limited d his bro Cedar taff of reas m >v tin tune Captain at St.' back a- al mi l)��V ;i] M. lire rumen nto.

I could hardly believe it al the time and 1 have since heard Major General Sam Hughes deny the facts and call the officer who made the statement a liar.

After that came a route march and when Private Jones returned from a ten mile tramp we had both turned black from sheer mortification. The remainder of our able-bodied existence was not quite a month and we never got our healthy color back, although Private Jones polished and greased and rubbed arid gave us plenty of complexion food. About the third week on Salisbury Plain, the hardships began to tell. You will notice that there are three black bars on my instep. That was when Private Jones tried to dry me out at a stove. I have since heard the lawyer for the defence argue before shoes in the world will nol take th place "f the regulation ; my shoe, or words to that effect.

WHEN you make a purchase in a "five, ten and fifteen cent" store���all of these are under the same management���did it ever occur lo you that you were helping to juppcrt a con- , cern which pays its employees as little as three and four dollars a week.in order that the predatory capitalists in New York which own and control them and hundreds of others all over the continent, may add lo their swollen fortunes. Three dollars a week for standing behind a counter from eight or half-past eight in the morning until six' at night���ten on Saturday nights! Yet ihe girls are expected to be! ! vigilant, courteous, obliging, never-wearying. Taunt the employer j with the fact that three dollars a week is n,ot a living wage and he will I tell you that he can get all the girls he wants. What does it matter | to him if they are broken on the wheel, provided his profits are not j curtailed. True, it is not skilled labor, but even the unskilled worker | must eat and three dollars a week won't buy a very big meal ticket nor pay for many steaks in these days when all kinds of nutritive foods are sky high in price. SHOP GIRLS GROUND TO THE BONE About 500 or 600 girls aie employed in the shops of Vancou-1 ver, Spencers, The Hitdsons Bay Company and Woodwards being the chief offenders in the matter of paying low wages. In these vast emporiums some girls, it is said, receive as little as $4.00 a week, the average wage paid being $7.00 or $8.00 weekly. It must be remem-! bered, moreover, that the girls working in these establishments are expected lo keep themselves attractively dressed at all times. Is it any wonder after paying room rent, board, carfare, laundry, etc., out of a j stipend of $7.00 a week, that when it comes to buying a spring hat or a new dress there's a temptation to "let George do it?" The wen- i der is not that a few girls go wrong from time lo lime, drifting into j the ranks of the street walker and public prostitute, but that any maintain their virtue, and continue to walk day after day, week in and j week out, the straight and narrow path, rendered unspeakably dreary j and cheerless in many cases through lack of the social amenities and! simple little pleasures which a few additional dollars would readily purchase. Supposing that what the preachers tell us is true, and that there is a stern but just God that watches with keen interest every affair of life, will he not place the department store proprietor who underpays his female employees with the murderer, the seducer, the bawd and; the white slaver? Live and let live is the law of life, and no matter; how often he may go to church, 'nor how loud he may sing in the choir,; the soul of the man who transgresses this essential principle of morali- ty is so small that if placed in a hollow mustard seed it would rattle; like a buckshot in a tin wash boiler. r WOMEN IN DOMESTIC SERVICE It is interesting to note that more women are employed in domestic work in B. C than in any other field of activity, the average wage being now $12 a month. Stenographers are in a bad state just now, says Miss Gutteridge, there being more out of employment than in any other line of work, owing to the collapse of the real estate and financial boom, and those who are working have had their salaries reduced 25 per cent, to 35 per cent. About the only class of women workers who receive fair wages for their labors arc those employed in custom tailoring, and this is due to the fact that they have a strong union. Unskilled labor in most of our local factories commands $7 to $8 a week, more or less depending upon the nature of the employment and other factors. "While wages in British Columbia are apparently much the same as in other cities of Canada and the United States." says Miss Gutteridge, "it must be remembered that the cost of living is higher in this province than elsewhere. Our dollars have not the same purchasing power, which means that a girl earning eight dollars weekly here is no better off, and perhaps not so well off, as a girl in Toronto earning six. Moreover, there are not the same opportunities for advancement here for the girl anxious to lift herself out of the overcrowded ranks of unskilled workers as in eastern cities. The position of the woman worker in this province is not at the present time a pleasant one." WHO PAYS THE PIPER? When you take a pencil and piece of paper and figure it out you find that after all it's the dear public���which means you���who foots the bills. The grasping employer gets the cream and others are lucky if there's any skim milk left. It's like this: Low wages for women and girls mean hunger and loneliness, which drive the weaker to prostitution or sickness, and then it's only a step to the hospital, the reformatory, the maternity home, or some other institution for the support of which the dear public���you again, reader���are heavily taxed. Or else you put your hand in your pocket and pay out money for charity���charity which would not be needed if adequate wages were paid. And so it goes, round and round in a vicious circle with the devil for ringmaster. Perhaps the only way is to insist that the people you trade with pay their employees a real "living" wage. 2-h.p. motor, 20x2 wheel, attached t& any butycL o. boat in a few minutes; 90 miles on 1 gallon of j^asoline -cA of from 4 to 25 miles per hour.
