ADVOCATES MINIMUM WAGE
But. Mrs. Sperry, Labor Commissioner Would Have It Meet Conditions of the Community
That a minimum wage should be adopted on the basis of working conditions in the community in which the person is employed was the opinion given by Mrs. Nan Williston Sperry, assistant labor commissioner of Missouri, in the second number of the series of lectures of the department of Economics, in Snow Hal Friday afternoon.
"The wages of more than half of the working girls are less than six dollar a week," said Mrs. Sperry, "while the necessary living expenses of the girls lack only ten cents of reaching eight dollars for the same period of time. As a consequence the girls living away from home, who work in factories or retail, must deny themselves food and other items essential to the health of the individual to the amount of a dollar and ninety cents.
Mrs. Sperry, who was a working girl for ten years prior to taking up her present work, told of the condition of Kansas City's hospitals and stores of Kansas City.
"The department store is the goal of the inexperienced girl because here she is more respected, she handles articles that appeal to femininity she can dress better and she is not meeting people from the outside."
In the 3725 girls who were interviewed only two were entirely independent by reason of receiving all their expenses from home. While 20 per cent of the girls are receiving less than six dollars a week, 23 per cent of them have one or more persons dependent upon them.

URGES ORGANIZATIONS TO TURN IN ANNUAL COPY
Work on the 1914 Jayhawker is being brought to a climax as far as getting copy into the editor is conducted. Copy is being sent to the engravers daily.
The last batch of senior pictures will be sent Monday and pictures turned in after this date will not be accepted. Most of the organizations, societies and fraternities have turned in their copy, though there are still a number who have neglected to submit them. They should urge those responsible in each organization to see to it that this copy is turned in immediately.
Clark said this morning, "the students do not realize the amount of time it takes to list all copy, read and approve proofs and make out a dummy for the printers. We are handicapped in proceeding with this work until all copy is in and I want the organization people to get busy at once. I am now planning on getting the book out the first of May (March 16), so that we can have all of the engraving work finished and all copy in the hands of the printers by the latter part of March or first of April. As it will take the engravers a month to finish all the work we have for them, students can readily see how necessary it is to get all prints off immediately."
Art Perry is handling all organization stuff and Larry Kinarne is taking charge of the fraternity dope. If it is impossible to see either of these two men any copy may be turned in at the annual office.
NO STUDENTS SEEM TO
WANT TO GO TO CHILF
