 IA man who gets an industrial exemption by reason of his being an indispensable operative in an indis- pensible industry, ceases to have that exemption as soon as he ceases to be an operative in that industry. The Boards have never applied that in the case of bona-fide disputes between labor as an Aggregate and employees as an aggregation but they have all ways prevented the man taking re- fuge behind industrial exemption and then discontinuing the work for which he received exemption, so that the ap- ,parently purpose of the Senate am- endment is already in operation.
 The reason for the exemption at married men is dependency and not status"
 In view of these orders. men en- gagged in non-essential industries and occupations should get into essential industries at once and stay there in spite of the fact that the strike clause has been stricken out of the new draft law.

For Elsie it has been transforming

In more senses than one. 1t has meant
travelling without maid for once In
a way, playing whole season with a
one-dress wardrobe, bivouacking IN
strange and uninviting hotels.

It has meant lingering for an extra

In all her years on the stage she
has known no such tumultuous, heart
warming welcomes as are her nightly

and slap her on the back and vow there
never was such a girl since the world
began. They cheer her until they are
hoarse, and she is dizzy with pride.
