FIGHT ON JONES LAW

Measure in Extra Session.
WASHINGTON. Ap- i IA move
mcnt to modify and clarity the
five and ten" prohibition penalties
of the Jones act will be inauguarted
at the special session of congress
convening here in two weeks,
Senator Millard E. Tydings Dem.
Maryland. informed the United
Press here today.
TydingS said he probably would
il. .roduce an amendment at the out
set of the session.
The wording of the act is
ambiguous and ill be subjected to
various interpretations by federal
courts in various parts of the Coun-
t1y. It's severity and ambiguity tend
to defeat it's own purpose" TydingS
said.
At the time the law was passed it
was the general understanding of
both houses that the heavy
maximum penalties should be used
only against "habitual commercial
vIoiatorS OF the law and not
casual offenders. Tydings believes
this purpose has not been clearly
understood and the act itself should
be clarified.

A jury after celebrating nearly

the "unwritten law in mitigation

mise, brought to an end a trial that
barred an Illicit romance between
wallace and Mrs. Mae Wilson.
In an effort to save her husband,
Mrs. Wilson testified she ard the
minister had carried their clandes-
tine love affair under the eyes OIL
Wilson and Wallace's wife.
She told that it started in the
basement of the Baptist church OF
which Wallace was pastor, when nc
slipped up behind her as she prac-
tised on the piano and stole kiss.
They met many times after that,
she said. both in her home while
Wilson was working overtime to pay
off a mortgage, and in the home OF
friend
When Wilson finally learned of
the love affair he sought out Wal
lace and killed him in a drug store
as the minister talked to a group
Of women.
Preacher, prepare to meet thy

before shooting.

VAT-DYED PIECE GOODS
RETAINS COLORS BEST

Purchasers of colored cotton fab
RIGS may have noticed that merchants
no longer give any sort of guarantees
for so-called "fast dyed" fabrics.
Miss Ethel L. Phelps, textile and
clothing specialist of the home econ
omics divisions, University Farm, ST..
Paul, says this situation is due to the
fact that no dye can be absolutely
guaranteed and to unreasonable
claims for redress made by some pur-
chasers of fabrics marked fast to
washing, light and other conditions.
A reasonably fast color is especial
ly desirable in cotton materials for
window curtains, summer dresses or
house dresses, children's clothes and
other purposes where the fabric is to
be subject to much washing, much
light, or both. For such uses, fab
ric marked "fast dye" is desirable,
according to Miss Phelps. However,
she says, too much should not be ex-
pected of any dyed fabric, since the
fastness of the color is chiefly re-
suit of the kind of dye used and hence
is variable characteristic.
Vat dyes on cotton are especially
fast, but some difference in fastness
may be found among different colors,
even though all are vat dyes. Cot
ton and linen fabrics dyed with this
type of dye will retain their color
satisfactorily under ordinary condi-
tions of use. If subjected to excess
sively prolonged exposure to the sun,
or washed in too hot water with
strong soap some change in color
may be observed even in vat-dyed
fabrics, but this change will be much
less marked than where a cheaper
grade of dye has been used.
Some materials are now on the
market which are plainly marked
"vat dyed" a statement which real
ly means more to the informed con-
sumner than does the commonly used
term "fast dyed" Such fabric may
be expected to give superior service,
if it is Hundred with reasonable care.
