AUTHORITIES ASK
WHAT CHARGE CAN
BE MADE IN CASE

Can man be tried for obtaining
money for a substitute for some
thing he has no right to sell?
It's a complex question with a
myriad of angles. 1t has arisen
with the arrest in Davenport of L.
punk Hileman. ]. W. Muennecke
and Leo Schaefer. who were first
charged with holding up George
Cartin.
Later it was learned that the
money Hileman claimed was taken
by force, had in reality been col
lected by the three for two cases of
bottled water which Cartin bought
for whisky.
Now the Davenport authorities
are wondering whether they can
try the three for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Muennecke was released on 5000
appearance bonds pending trial.
The bonds We're signed yesterday.
The date for the trial has not been

While it is true that the laws

report says
Reports from -.4IU Illinois EN-

plOyes, show that there is a strong
movement toward lowered hours.
In 1913. thirty-three per cent of Chi

hours Today sixty-twO and nine
tenths of firms and seventy and

SHORTER HOURS
GREAT Benefit
of Industrial Survey Com
mittee FaVOTing Less Working
Time for Women Given.

Springfield, il, Jan 31.-The in
dustriaI survey committee created
by the fifceth general assembly has
set forth a number Of findings bear
ing out their report to Governor
LOwden fayoring an eight-hOur day
for women, except nurses. The
findings are in support Of their
recommendation for eight-hoUr leg
islatiOn at the present sessio-
which they say viii be a safeg1a
20 health
Among the important findings
are.
The tendency toward shorter
hours is justified by the opinion
and experience Of physicians work
ing in the Industrial field
The same employees produce more
in an eight or eight and a half hour
day than when working longer
hours in the same establishment.
In seasonal industries, long hours
result in a marked drop in produc-
ton carly in the business season,
<hiie short hours in the same field
show a production maintained or
increased through the busy season.
The study of accidents shows
that the two causes most operative
are: First, speed of production,
second, ineXperienCe. The factor
Of fatigue does not appear TO enter
in the course of given week day.
Workers in a night shift show a
lower level of production than
equally experienced workers on a
day shift.
II is the opinion Of most p ...-
clans that in the interest Of h.4ttl
eight hours is the best working day
for women in industry.
Recommendations of the survey
ire as follows:
An eight hour day and a forty
.ght hour working week for wO-
men in industry
The eight hour standard be ap-
piled to all Industries covered by
the present ten hour law, including
all office workers, except graduate
nurses.
A law based on the hours Of la
SOr law at present in force with
The substitution of an eight hour
maximum for the present ten hour
maximum, a maximum for the week
of fOrty-eight hours and such pro
visions as shall make the law cas-

Flu CAUSED PRESIDENT
WILSON'S SICKNESS

PHYSICIANS claim that President Will
son is suffering from neurasthenla or
nervous exhaustion. This, they claim,
ia the after effect of an attack Of In
fiuenza which he had last April, while
he was In Paris attending the Peace
conference. There are hundreds or
thousands of people today who are still
suffering some bad effect from last
years attack of influenza.
Doctors are agreed that the Flu Is
coming back this Fall, and now that
cooler weather is here, they are afraid
II will break out any time. Even II
one RECEIVERS from the Flu, the after
effects are terrible. The only sane
thing to do Is to prevent the Flu,
Influenza Gun be prevented; last
years results prove that. AS pre-
ventive for Flu, Turpo has been
pronounced success. Turpo Is
an effective germicide, combining the
old-fashloned remedies Of turpentine
(which has always been known as the
best home germicide), camphor and
menthol In pure mineral base. These
Ingredients have long been recognized
as effective gerrnicides, as well as hav-
ing really wonderful qualities In re-
lieving colds and congestions. Snuff a
little Turpo up the nostrils several
times day, and the Flu germs will
have little chance of getting lodging
and breeding place. Many physicians
and hospitals use and recommend
Turpo.
The fact that there have been cases
of "fu" already reported makes 1t i'm.
portant that you prepare now. Buy a
thirty cent Jar Of Turpo, while
your druggist has supply on hand,
and use as directed. Last year drug
gists could not supply the demand.
Remember that Turpo is preventive,
not cure for influenza. Take care OF
yourself.-Adv.

ROAD BUILDING IS BOOMING
Steady Increase In Federal Aid Bust.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Since early In 1919 there has been
a steady increase each month in the
federal aid business In the bureau of
public roads of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. States in all
sections Of the country are filing their
projects and receiving allotments. The
bodybuilding era is in full swing, and
1t would seem that the end is not yet.
All indications point to greater rec
ords In the months Immediately to
come.
Based on complete reports from A
Of the states cash expenditures on the
rural roads and bridges of the United
States for the calendar year 1913
amounted to $2S6,09S,193. To this
should be added the value Of statute
and convict labor, which cannot be
fixed with any great degree Of ac-
curacy but probably amounted to not
less than $14,0O0,000, thus making the
grand total expenditures for the year
$500, 100000. This total is made up of
tllC ttNtuut lOl buNh llClub
as labor, materials, supervision and
administration directly connected
with the construction, improvement
and upkeep Of public roads and
bridges outside the limits of incorpo-
rated towns and cities, and does not
include any item for slnking-fund pay
ments or redemption and interest on
road and bridge bonds.
The year 1918 offered an unprece-
dented condition in practically all
lines Of highway work. There was
not only a tremendous increase and
expansion In the amount Of heavy
truck traffic on public roads and an
unprecedented shortage in regard to
road materials, labor and ready funds,
but also a decided increase in main
tenance work, which was, however
partially Offset by a decrease in the
amount Of new construction.
