Absence Makes the Heart Grow Ponder?

ters are mystified over the objections of her parents to the match. These objections, it is said, developed sud- denly following the May festival at Ann Arbor. during which Mir. Stock d. rected the orchestra.
 The romance is said to have begun over a year ago. Mir. Hoy was gradu- ated from the University of Michigan in 1921. At that time Miss Stock was a freshman.
 It was not known that Mir. and Mrs. Stock refused to announce the engage ment until Miss Vera herself an- nounced 1t at an Alpha Phi sorority house party in Ann Arbor. It was published in the newspapers there the following day. According to Miss Stocks friends, they voiced no disap- proval at that time, and 1t was ex- pected that upon their return to Chi cago they would make announcement of the engagement. But no such an- nouncement was made and no reason given why they refused to make 1t.
 Miss Stock then confided to her school chums at Ann ArbOr that her parents disapproved.

DON'T OBSERVE 8-H0UR DAY
Law Is No Longer Popular With Work. men in Hamburg, Germany
 Says Writer.

Keener competition is causing de cided swing away from many post war pet ideas in Germany. Even the eight-hOur law is no longer popular, Frederick Simpich writes in Our World. The labor inspection bureau in a recent report pictures the trouble its enforcement is bringing as Ham, burg's economic condition improved. Employers complain that laborers of both sexes, after an eight hour day. undertake to do outside work for other peOple-which cuts down their eff ciency on their regular job. Workers, on the other hand, consider it an in terference with their personal liberty if their employers try to hold them to the eight-hour plan. Although the law was passed to safeguard the health of the workers, they appear to have lost sight of it's real intention, and the authorities show reluctance to prose cute cases of it's violation. In the ho- tels and cafes, especially, it has been difficult to enforce the eight-hour day i; walters are lOath to give up their chances for more tips during overtime.

NEW YORK.-Little Siranoosche ~ Gulumian is on her way to Con- stantinople, puzzled and frightened victim of the vagarles of the immigra- ton laws. The girls parents, Mannik Gulumian and his wife, Marucek, are in Dorchester. Mass, in the care of a son who fought under the Stars and Stripes in the World war.

 By due process of law, therefore, little SiranOOsche, the third relatOr, a Turk by birth and by law, was carried weeping, screaming and kicking, aboard the Megali Hellas, a steamship bound for Constantinople, while her equally fearful parents, the first and second relators, who were born in Ar menia, prepared for the journey to Dorchester.
 Since February 8, Siranoosche and her parents have been detained at Ellis island The little girl became a favorite there and for her it was the happiest period of her brief exist ence. Everyone at Ellis island knew 'Noosie," the smiling, black-eyed little girl who had been born while her parents were refugees in ConstantinO- pie awaiting an opportunity to sail for America, where warm welcome awaited them at the home of their son.

Here's Where the Police Are Thorough

Dr. Shattuc denied responsibility for the accident. He said he had passed the Coombs car fifty feet when he heard crash behind and stopped.
 CoOmbs told the Milford police his story and they telephoned to the New Haven police to arrest Dr. Shattuc. The doctor had just entered his hotel when he was called out by a police man and escorted to headquarters here, thence to Milford, where he gave bonds for appearance in court. Then he came back to New Haven and went to his class headquarters. A second policeman took him to headquarters
 He was released by the desk ser geant. Then Dr. Shattuc drove to the Yale Graduates club for luncheon. A third policeman appeared and insisted that he go to headquarters. He did so and explained again, was released and motored to the Yale Law school When he emerged soon afterward a fourth policeman insisted that he go to headquarters.
 The doctor appealed his case and will have to come to headquarters still again.

Export of Chinese Hair Menaced

China's export pigtail industry is threatened by the preference of Ameri- can women for double hair nets, ac- cording to a report to the Commerce department from Consul Gauss at Tsinan.
 Manufacture of double hair nets, the report said, threatens to reduce the human hair net business very much, as the double hair net long outwears the single net, and advices in China indicate that an association of hair net importers have been formed in the United States, one of it's objects being to discourage the making of double nets. It is estimated, the re- port added, that unless the double net is driven off the market the hair ree1 business in China will decline by 75 to 80 per cent.

ASSYRIANS NOT so ROUGH
Were More Humane Than PopuIariy Tabled, Says Professor Who Has
 Studied Their Laws.

The Assyrian is popularly recalled as coming down Hike wolf on the fold" But one provision of the As syrian code of laws indicates that the Assyrians are more humane than they are popularly fabled. This requires that the destitute widow be supported by her sons "as the bride whom one loves"
 Instead of the Assyrians being who'll lJ abject, their letters, says Prof. A. F. Olmstead. of the University of Illi- nois, show high officials speaking their minds with the greatest plainness, the kings making pathetic appeals to those whose support they would win. Their imperial free cities were as free as those in western Europe in the Middle ages, with charters of freedom from corners of the earth and to all tongues.
