Police Read Bible,
 Move Repentance

Washington, Dec. IS LR - The Bible has proved more efficacious than the police manual to Washing ton officers in rendering unwanted assistance. Policemen found Luther Thodes. 52. unconscious in his home with gas flowing from the jets of & stove. but upon being revived he ask ed them to leave him and not offer aid. Finding the police manual in- adequate in such cases the poIice- men started quoting passages from the Bible. After a few minutes. Thodes. the police said, told them he was sorry for his act and would not try 1t again.

sumers' League and amended at { conference held in Hartford, October IS, 1926. There were IS organiza- tions represented at this conference and these standards as amended were referred to constituent organi- cations for consideration. The stand ards follow:
 Labor legislation for the correc- ton of abuses, but not for the regu- lation of industry beyond that point. A working day of not over. nine hours for both men and women workers. An eight hour day for both men and women workers to be adopted at present by voluntary ar- engagements between employers and employees.
 More than a mere living wage for women and girls, in the belief that, by a larger distribution of money among the working classes and the increase of their purchasing power, justice will be secured. business will be stimulated and general prosperity advanced.
 Equal pay for equal work for men and women.
 Against the practice of some em- ployers of setting limit to what a worker may earn and believe that the curtailment of output which necessarily accompanies this prac- tice creates problems for industry.
 The organization of workers, both men and women, for sound economic measures, should be encouraged. That organizations of employers should study the special problems Of women workers, particularly the relation of hours to output and the burdens carried outside of factory hours by women employees who are wives and mothers.
 Every child should be protected in his rights to an eighth grade edu- cation.
