was not that she was really disSatisr

She explained that she could get

she could; merely she heidi it good for
the shopkeeper to say this. She told
him that his stock lacked taste. Ec

contradict her. rle put tho things back

the boxes on TIER respective shelves,

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed as ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which shows
that they knew how to protect them
selves from the danger that lies in a
thunder storm. Even SO long ago as
the tenth century lightning was d.
verted from fields by planting in them
lons sticks or poles, On top Of which
were lance heads. 1t is said that the
Celtic soldiers used to try to make
themselves safe from the stroke during
a storm by lying ON the ground with
their naked swords planted point up

John McMackin made public to-day a letter from
Attorney General Cunneen. in response to inquiry
by the Labor Department TO the validity of the
eight hour law. referring especially to the recent
decision Of the Court Of Appeals in the Orange
County road construction case The Attorney Cen
eral holds that the decision refers wholly 10 the I'M
constitutOnality OF the single Section 3s4H and has
no other effect upon the Ia as a whole
Il do see says the Attorney General that
the question affects the powers duties of YOUR
department under the Labor law. except in so far
1t prevents your availing yourself of the penaI
ties provided for by Section 3SiH the Penal Code
Il would seem that the only power left in your de-
partment for the enforcement of such provisions is
10 be found IN Section OF the Labor law which
provides TOT the removal OF certain officers agents
employees who violate its provisions and for the
maintenance OF an action for the cancellation or
avoidance OF any contract which by it's terms or
manner OF performance. violates the Labor Law
