TEST OREGON TEN-HOUR LAW.
Brief Flied by State Insists Short
Hours Best for People.

Washington, April 1.-THE state of
Oregon ten-hour maximum work day
law is under test in the Supreme court
on an appeal by Franklin o. Bunting
of that state who was convicted in the
state supreme court of having violat-
ed the law He appealed to the higher
court on the ground that the state
law violated the fourteenth amend
ment of the United States Constitu-
ton.
The brief in the Oregon answer to
the appeal denies there is any con-
Gict between the state law and the
constitutional amendment, as set up,
and insists on the legality of the law.
In one part of the brief it is argued:
rAfter continuous work. a certain
amount of leisure and recreation is
physiological necessity. The workers
condition determines in large meas
ure whether or not he takes advantage
of opportunities for self-improvement
or legitimate enjoyment The work
er who has not exhausted his energies
by overexertion turns instinctively to
the better use of leisure"

ON ANOTHER MARCH
After Getting Drenching on Two
Days They Strap Ponchos
to Belts.

Troops of the Organized Militia of the
District of Columbia left Camp Ord
way by o'clock today for a three
hour road march in the direction of
Bancroft. Va, during which they were
instructed in advance and rear guard
and patrol work. For two days now
the troops have gone out and have re-

coming hardened to this service, and
none have suffered.
They went with ponchos strapped to
their belts today, and if the cloudy
skies under which they departed should
open upon the troops again they will
be prepared.
Much attention is being given in the
road marches to carrying messages,
according to Col. Young. The troops
are yet a little deficient in this regard,
and efforts are being concentrated on
this point to strengthen them. 1t is
very important that a message be car
red to the troops correctly in time of
action, but a change of a word might

point is being impressed on the men

officers of the regiment say that it
holds a record for continuous camping in
times of peace. No other outfit of the
United States Army ever has been under
tents for so long a period in times of
peace and some of the officers are of the
belief that this also holds good with re-
gard to the armies of Europe They did
not mind it so much when they were
encamped at Douglas, where they have
permanent camp with board walls and
floors for the tents. When the o. NJ. d.

Shoe repairing out here costs Considera-

It's hard work to keep "stickum'' on
the postage stamps and envelopes here in

rcd ants. If folks in Washington receive
letters that are unscaled and minus
stamps they will know the reason.
