new Law WORKS WELL
Eight Hour Legislation Does Not
Deter Naval Contractors.

Washington. Nov. 29.-Predictions
that under the eight hour act Of 1912
manufacturers and contractors would
ignore the navy departments call for
supplies and work and decline govern
ment contracts have not come true, ac-
cording to Graham EgertOn, solicitor OF
the navy department. In his annual re-
port he says the act has somewhat in
creased in first costs" to the govern
ment but has not diminished COMPETE
ton nor increased the cost of mantle
nance. Moreover the act has had
decided effect in the direction of maxi
ing the eight hour work day more
general, he believes.
Approval also IL given to the section
of the new tariff act permitting tVlpcr-
tation free of duty of naval materials.
The solicitor says this will benefit the
navy department generally and will
more than offset any increase in costs
resulting from the operation OF the
eight hour law.
About one-fifth of the $140,0 APP
proved by congress for the officers and
crews of the old Wyoming and James
town for meritorious and perilous serv-
ice in the destruction Of hostile vessels
in the Straits Of Shimoneski. Japan. In
1853 1854, remains unclaimed, probably
because of the ignorance OF the indt-
yiduals entitled thereto. Solicitor Eyer
ton suggests that the department ad-
vertise that these benefits are open to
proper claimants.

Although John K. Tener, Pennsy1-

ed for election to the National League
presidency, will not be free from his
gubernatorial duties till January 1. 1915,
he will in all probability be able to at

executive. The annual meeting OF
the National League to be held De-
cember 8 will see Tener proclaimed
Lynch's successor. Upon the expira-
ton Of his term as governor he will
be able to take complete charge of
the leagues affairs. It Is not thought
that the two duties win conflict to
any extent nor that Tener will be
unable to make occasional trips to
New York to confer with officials at
the league headquarters. He will be
able to take an active part in the
conferences of the national commits

to his knees beside the woman.
1t seemed as II the high gods were
hardly playing fair to throw fainting
woman on his hands gust then, at
| time when he was all preoccupied with
his own absorbing tragedy. :,
She lay with her head naturally pill
lowed on the arm she had. instinctively
thrown out to protect her race.
He could see now that her slenderness
was that of youth. OF figure undevei-
oped and immature.
Her profile, too, was young, though
1t stood out against the dark back
ground OF the carpet as set and white
as a death-mask.
Indeed her pallor was SO intense that
fear struck at his heart Of an acci-
dent more serious than a simple faint
ing spell.
Her respiration seemed entirely sus-
pended, and it might be merely his
fancy that detected the least conceiv-
able syncopated pulsation in the icy
wrist beneath his fingers.
He weighed quickly half dozen sug-
gestions.
His fundamental impulse. to call in
feminine aid from the stan Of the hotel,
was promptly relegated to the status
of a last resort. as involving explana-
tions which might not seem adequate
to the singular circumstances.
Besides. he entertained a dim. search
ing, intuitive suspicion that possibly the
girl herself would more cheerfully dis
pense with xplanations-though he
hardly knew why.
He remembered that people burned
feathers in such emergencies, or else
loosened the lady's stays-corsets plus
fainting fit equal stays, invariably. 1t
seems.
But there weren't any feathers handy,
and-well. anyway, neither expedient
made any real appeal to his intelligence.
Besides, there were reasonable things
he could do TO make her more comfort
ablc-chafe her hands, administer stim-
ulants.
Even while these thoughts were rum
ming through his mind he was gather

and he found it really astonishing easy
TO raise and bear her to the bed. on
