The Army Way-Twin Falls has
grown pretty tired waiting for her
soldier boys; and even now the lat
est dope" is to the effect that, while
Company 90" may leave Boise Thurs
day and arrive in Twin Falls Fri
day, it also may" start a day or two
later. This uncertainty is character
istic of military regime. The boys
are probably used to being called out
at two a. M to join in movement at
four o'clock and then having to wait
in line until four D. m.-and later. If
it chances to be bad weather, so that
they will not have been so impatient
as the "home folks" But they are
coming and soon, when all will be
happy together.

GENERAL ADVERTISING

Few people realize how much
GOOD retouching means in studio.
The smoothing out Of defects-the
touch here and the touch there
Just enough to give elegance OF
finish but not enough to mar the
expression, the certain character
lines that are individually yours,
part of you.
In college we made a speciality of
retouching; it is a big subject,
worthy of ones best effort. Please
look at the pictures in our windows;
you will see the result of the re-
touching but not the retouching
itself. Please look closely.

there is no ordinance in the city of

ing the late protracted period of snow

lists, enforcement would be blessing
if it is not in existance, its enactment

PALMER URGES
CARE OF WORKERS
Acting Commissioner Says
People Should Have Regard
For Women in Stores

Lew r. Palmer, Acting Commits
sioner of the Department of Labor
and Industry, during the war service
of Major John Price jackson. issued
today u strong appeal for the con-
servation of women workers in de-
partment stores during the Christ
mas season.
While the inspectors of this De-
partment will concentrate their .ef-
forts in enforcing the Women's Law
during the rush of the Christmas
holidays, it is undeniable that the
best protection against any tenden-
cy toward illegally long hours of
work for women in the stores will be
the general public doing it's Christ
mas shopping eal;y in the season and
early in the day." said Acting Com
missioner Palmer.
Purchasers should remember that
war time conditions have made tre-
mendous demands on the labor OF
this state and especially upon women
workers. The conservation of wo-
men workers.
1T should also be remembered
that many of the women, employed
in stores, restaurants and mills are
at this time voluntarily performing
great war service even out of reg
ular working hours by knitting for
the soldiers in the trehches, by doing
other forms of Red Cross work and
other tasks made necessary by war
conditions"
In outlining the laws protecting
women and children workers Acting
Commissioner Palmer pointed out
that women may not be employed
more than six days a week, fifty-four
hours a week, nor more than ten
hours in any one day. If women are
employed longer hours, the law is
Violated, whether the store is open
and the clerks are waiting on custo-
mers or If the doors are closed and
the clerks are engaged in taking the
after holiday inventory. Girls under
twenty-one years of age may not be
employed in stores or factories after
nine o'clock at night nor before six
o'clock in the morning. When an
establishment is closed for a legal
holiday, females may be employed,
during such week, two hours a day
overtime for three days, but the
working hours of the week must not
exceed fifty-four.
Child workers between the ages
of fourteen and sixteen may not
work more than fifty-one hours per
week and eight hours of that time
must be spent in continuation
schools. Such children may not be
employed later than eight o'clock at
night nor before six o'clock in the
morning nor may they be employed
more than nine hours in any one
day. No children under fourteen
may be employed in any establish
ment.
