Remember the old circus and medi-

that's the old army game.

SUNDAY SESQUI
Yesterdays Attendance Greatest
Since Opening

Philadelphia, July 26 Up - APP
proximately 100000 persons paid
admission fees at the gates of the
Sesquicentennial Exposition yester-
day, the first Sunday on which all
the amusements within the en-
closure were free. In making this
estimate today exposition officials
said it was the largest paid attend
ance since the fair was opened May
81. Exact figures probably will not
be available until tomorrow.
The so cents entrance fee for
adults and % cents for children
gave the visitors free access to all
the concessions and they took full
advantage of it. The gladway was
thronged throughout the day with
hundreds standing in line waiting
their turn to enjoy the thrills of the
rides" and other features. The
crowds were orderly and the police
experienced no difficulty. About one
third of the visitors were children.
The only evidence of the cam

sylvania state building. Its doors
were closed by order of Governor
Pichot. All the exhibition palaces
were open and they were packed
with sightseers.
E. l.. Austin, director general OF
the Suspuicentennial, declared to
state whether the free Sundays"
would be continued. Mr.. Austin,
who was fined $3.50 by a police
magistrate Saturday for operating
the exposition on Sunday in viola
ton of the ancient blue laws was
preparing today to appeal the case

Further legal action against open

it would take.
Thomas D. Taylor, chairman Of
the Methodist mems committee of

SHAW At PEACE
ON 10Th BIRTHDAY
Famous Satirist Planning No
New Controversies

London, July 26 Up - George
Bernard Shaw, that one time scorn.
full Irish iconoclast, now somewhat
mellowed by years, is celebrating his
10th birthday today. On his natal
day Bernard Shaw is not the man
with the bristling red beard of the
eighties, but a benign elderly gentle
man OF benevolent mien with white
hirsute adornment, as erect and trim
and seemingly as youthful as ever
and still adherring to his creed OF
being plunged to the neck in the life
Of his time.
Tonight in the house of commons
he will be an honor guest at a din
ner which is being looked forward
to by the people generally for the
birth of still another of the piquant
controversies in which he for years
has participated with great zest.
1t had been hoped that an ar
rangement could be made by which
his speech would be broadcast, but
Mr.. Shaw declined to pledge himself
not to engage in controversial ut
terances. Wherefore the listeners-in
are downcast, for Mr.. Shaw is as
remarkable an after dinner speaker
as he is a satirist.
Mr.. Shaw probably Is the richest
| literary man alive. He collects roy
alties from all parts of the world.
Would-be newspaper interviewere
scarcely are ever able TO make their
way through the barred entrance to
his home in Adolphi Terrace to OBJ

They Plan Relief

Philadelphia, July 26 lP)-Plans
went forward today for a conven-
ton of representative of the radio
industry throughout the country to
stop what the sponsors of the move
ment said was threatening broad

chairman Of the broadcasting COM
mittee Of the radio section of the
associated manufacturers OF electri-
cal supplies.
A call for the convention, speci-
flying the place and date, will be is
sued shortly.
Citing figures to show how scores
of applicants for new licenses were
planning to go into the already
crowded paths in the broadcasting
lanes. and the desire of other sta
tions to change their wave length or
increase their power, Mr.. Raycroft
asserted that if the problem was not
quickly, firmly and justly met, it
would mean ruin to both pleasure
and profit.

LONG HOURS IN MILLS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.--(FP) -
Where women and men are employed
long hours in cotton mills in this
country, they lose more time from
their jobs than do workers in mills
where the schedule of hours per week
is short. This IL the finding OF the
Women's Bureau of the u. S. De-
partment of Labor, after study Of
time records in nine southern and
nine northern textile establishments.
Women whose daily schedule was
over s and under hours lost 1876
per cent of their time, while women
on daily schedules of 10 to IL hours
lost 30.5 per cent Of their time When
daily hours were reduced, the mill
operatives were able to stay more
regularly at their machines.
In the Is mills, almost two-thirds
Of the employees worked on schedules
OF 55 hours or more per week. Wo-
men lost q per cent of their pos
sible working time, while men lost
1913 per cent. In the mills where the
schedule was below So hours, women
lost 1853 per cent and men 1917 per-
cent of their possible time.
