to the earl of Huntington, ran plan

"Our coral house in the South seas
sounds so idyllic that 1t might be the
creation of some ultraromantic imagi-
nation" said Lady Hastings.
"Such a mundane word as house
keeping probably never enters ones
mind in connection with 1t. Yet keep

Regarding the daily routine Lady
Hastings said:
TN that climate, tempered by trade
winds from the sea, no afternoon
siesta interrupted our round of work
and sailing and swimming, excepting
in January and February, when the
lassitude from the combined effects
of heavy rain and heat had to be
slept off every afternoon"

LAWS FOR WOMEN
CLASH IN CONGRESS
Proposal for Uniform Labor
Legislation Conflicts With
Equal Rights Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The working woman has made her
debut as problem in the present ses-
sion Of Congress with the introduction
OF a resolution providing for a consti-
tutional amendment empowering Con-
gress to establish uniform labor laws
for women and children.
Representative Dallinger Republican,
Massachusetts,. author OF the resolution,
declared his sole purpose in the amend
ment Is to obtain uniform labor laws
and that the only reason he confined
his amendment to laws pertaining to
women and children Is that working
men have always had their we'll organ
lied unions through which they have
been able to protect themselves against
unfair working conditions.
Two Measures in Conflict.
Concomitant with this proposal is
another proposed constitutional amend
ment dealing with the equal rights
proposition. This. in direct opposition
to Dallinger's bill, would provide that

NEW ORLEANS, La, April The passing of years has not dulled Roger Peckinpaugh's en- thusiasm for baseball, even if it has taken it's toll on the legs which helped him win the most valuable player trophy of the American League in 1925, and at 37 he will be seen in action again this year.
 Here at the Cleveland training camp, the new manager of the Tribe is working out as hard as the rockies and already is in fine physical condition. While he does not expect to play regularly, un- less there is an emergency, he says he expects to stay in condi- ton. Joe Sewell will be the regu- lar shortstop.
 Peckinpaugh is throwing all his experience, gained in nearly a score of years in big league base ball, into the breach to bring Cleveland out of the second divi- sion. Peck's knowledge and the enthusiasm being shown by both the old players and rockies. ob- servers here believe, will be the Tribes first line of defense and offense.
 q don't have any special train ing rules or discipline" Peck says in discussing his managerial methods. q told any men they would be expected to keep in training and live straight. l meant what I said, so I let that end the matter. I'm not worried They're all clean bunch.
 Golf? Sure, they can play all they want. The game improves their batting eye and develops healthy swing at the ball There's nothing to this 'hoof and mouth disease business. Hoofing after the ball will do them good. And as for mouthing about their scores and shots, well they'd mouth anyhow"
 Peckinpaugh says he has sev- eral reasons for wanting to turn out successful club this season. One is, Cleveland is his home town. Another is, his desire to be a success as a manager from the beginning.
