PRESIDENT LEAVES
FOR HURRIED TRIP
BACK TO TROUBLE
Harding, Tanned and Heavier.
Ready to Attack Tax Tangle
and Disarmament Problems.
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
Internatiopal News Service.

LANCASTER, N. H., Aug. 6.-Presi'
dent Harding's vacation is on the
wane today. as he leaves New Hamp.
shire's playground. TO motor 70 Port
land, on the first leg OF his home,

turning 10 the Capital and his execu'
i've duties, rested by his freedom from
sificial carss. lust a trifle more tanned
from many hours on the golf links.
and perhaps. Just little heavier,
thanks 10 New Hampshire air and cool
ress.
New Hampshire cookery has played
an important part in this Presidential
vacation, for the Chief Executive has
glorified in the hardy food Of these
hill towns In the pie belt
No one can say how much pie or
how many doughnuts he has eaten.
but certainly no one who has seen him
at luncheon after eighteen holes on
the golf course has any reason to be-
lieve that BriSadier General Sawyer
Will ever have to tinker with the Pres
idential digestive organs. -
Some people take their vacations
through a complete rest, but Presi-
dent Harding gets l,is vacation relax.
alton by doing strenuously those
things which he likes to do. Yesterday
was fair example OF his vacation
progress. for he motored 200 miles,
played ten holes of golf, made four
speeches. held no less than three re-
ceptions, meeting several hundred per-
sons, andtoday he was up bright and
early, fresh, and anticipating the
150-mile motor journey to the Maine
port where the Mayflower is at
anchor, ...'E.
/: Aside from the rest which the Pres.
ident has enjoyed here he returns TO
washington somewhat confident that
he has gained some public support
for his disarmament conference.
The President is pleased with the
approval that has been expressed In
the public gatherings which he has
addressed. b. r..
VIII Hurry Back.
The President is anxious to reach
Washington in, time for his regular
Cabinet meeting and Commander
Holmes Of the Mayflo~er will make an
effort to land the presidential yacht
at the Washington Navy Yard Tues
day morning.
Final decision OF the. disarmament
conference date and revision OF taxa.
ton are the two subjects. the Presi-
dent will take up first when. he again
takes his chair at the White House.

OYSTER MAKES NO
MOVE TO INCREASE
BAIL Of SPEEDERS
Hasn't Received Judge Nc
Mahon's Letter-WiIl Enter
No Controversy, He Says.

Commissioner Oyster has no quar-
rel with Judge Mcmahon over the
traffic regulations. and will not en-
ter into a controversy about the
number Of cases in which traffic
violators forfeit the collateral they
leave at the station house.
The Commissioner said today that
he had not received the letter from
Judge Mcmahon complaining that
the collateral which the police ask
Is not high enough to compel the
appearance in court Of offenders.
The police court judge complained
that the police ask only IS collat-
eral from traffic violators, while
they compel DRINKS to deposit $25
collateral.
II the police are not requiring
sufficient to get the traffic viola
tors into court, the Commissioners
said, they probably would change
their system. But until the Com
missioner receives the. judges let
ter, he said that nothing definite
would be done, ~

seven-eighths made up of the in
tense desire to help themselves.
q Women are the civilizers. the
teachers. the mothers and the hope
of the race.
The first step is taken; the law
allows them, partially. at least, to
govern themselves. The other steps
should come soon. Civilization
will be due to women. The eter-
nal feminine does lead upward, al
though little boys hate to wash
their faces and grown men hate
to behave.

RITcHIE BOOSTS POT TO
AID PRISONERS FAMILY

BALTIMORE. Aug. .6.-when Earl
Lewis. wanted in New York to answer
2 charge OF nonsupport. left Governor
Rttchie's office at Annapolis. he car.
ried away more than the refusal OF the
governor to send him back to hts home
state. He carried IS of Governor
Ritchie's money. .... ....
Lewis, who is working here, agreed
that he would support his wife and two
children IL the latter would come TO
Baltimore to live with him. His wife
LIS working in Jersey City and didn't
want to come. but said she would send
the two children. Then came the
problem of raising railroad fare for
the children from Jersey City to Bal.

Governor Richie started the contri.
button with IS note, The fare was
raised.

whatever has been gained.
This is the principles:
Here's to the rich, God bless EN-,
And as for the poor, damn 'em,
They're used to it."
Wage Case Held W.
The case was very fully argued
Then 1t was held under advisement for
four months. Finally it was decided
that the people had the right to make
law establishing minimum wage
for women.
The case turned on the women
but it is used by other concerns
employing women. For example. the
laundries have been refusing to pay
women the required wage. They
have been waiting to see IL there
was any trick by which the decision
could be circumvented.
As one of the three judges on
the court of appeals was sick when
the case was argued, his place was
taken by another Judge. 1t hap.
pens that the judge who was sick
has peculiarly strong slant on
these industrial matters. He was
able to get a rehearing so he could
vote against 1t next time and up
set II.
just Another Raw Deal.
That is about as much sense as
conservatives not infrequently show
The case will go up to the Supreme
Court Of the United States anyway
All that is accomplished by this pc.
culiarly raw deal of taking a most
unusual procedure to help out the
property side is. to advertise broad.
cast that another such raw deal has
been perpetrated.
And II will be perfectly futile in the
end. When the minimum wage prin.
ciple reached the Supreme Court be-
fore, the vote was four to four. JUS
tice Brandeis could not vote and Chief
Justice White voted TO overthrow the
Oregon Minimum Wage statute.
Now, in this case Justice Brandeis
can vote and he Is one OF the most
ardent and effective minimum wage
advocates In the United States. He
will surely vote 10 sustain the law.
Justice White Is dead and the new
Chief Justice. Mr.. Taft, will probably
vote for the law. But whether he
does or not makes no difference. 1t
has a ni0ority In either case.
SO all that Is accomplished by this
kind OF a performance Is TO bring the
law into disrepute. There is no
chance OF winning in the end. There
Is only "a chance OF destroying the
value OF the work Of the Minimum

FORD DICKERING FOR
2 PENNSYLVANIA PLANTS

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Aug. g.
From what is considered an authori.
tative source 1t was learned today
that negotiations are under way
between Henry Ford, of Detroit, and
the Superior Steel Company and
the Union Electric Steel Company
for the purchase Of both OF these
nlants. which are located DIT Carnegie
Pa, near here.
There is belief that the deal will
go through. The Superior Steel Com
pany makes strip steel such as Ford
uses In his cars, and it's output
Is about equal to the Ford require
ments. The Union Electric Steel
Company makes specially-hardened
product also suitable to the Detroit
mans needs.
