He proposes, he says, to "equalize
the hours of labor" throughout the
country by the passage of q national
48-hour law, which would serve as
protection to the workers of Massa-
chusetts against unemployment. If
such law can be made to stick"
without q constitutional amendment,
Butler is for the passage Of the law.
If it is necessary to go further and
put through an amendment to the
Constitution, he will support such o
move.
The Butler Campaign Committee is

through the Democratic States of the
South, which was distributed in

textile mill operators to move their
plants South. The circular put out
by the railroad was entitled: mo

that mill owners would not be
hampered by the laws affecting mill
operation In Massachusetts,, designed
to protect the workers, If they moved
South.
The Georgia laws were shown to be
the most favorable" OF any Southern
State. They allow possible so hours
per week for the women and children
who work in the mills, as compared to

that Massachusetts, has II laws affect

Georgia and Alabama have only 4;

The cook was persuaded to give them
some dripping, and they tried to roast
the blackbird on the top Of tin over

was as well that, during a dispute aris-
ing from Jimmys boast that he was a
better shot than Dennis, the bird was
dropped into the flames and pronounce

veil, was chief mourner; Jimmy was

When the burial service was over

benefit. There were dark pools here,
and the boys, crawling across the grass
on their stomaches, were able to see
shy trout lurking under the overhang-
ing banks. Water boatmen jerked their
way across the surface, and little
dragonflies, striped black and vivid
blue, shot to and fro just above the
water.
Presently the stream became so mar
row that they could both jump across
it-although Jimmy twice jumped short
and dragged himself out with feet that
weighed tons, and were 10 longer feet,
but immense clots of mud. Then came
a wide area of whitened grass tussocks,
which wabbled alarmingly when one
stood on them, intersected by deep
Doggy channels, which made one think
of Jan Ridd's great fight with Carver
Doone. And at last they found them

obstinate tuft at the back which no
amount of water or brilliantine could
keep tidy. Dennis, with his cap pulled
down we'll over his eyes, stared at the
wide horizon and explained what he
was going to do when he grew up.

Jimmy, who had not hitherto worried

DATHE would have no trouble In cast
ing the leading tenor role OF
Swing High" either in French, Span
ish, German, italian or even in Japa-
nese, for Fred Scott can both speak and
sing in all these languages.
One of the requisites of a concert
singer Is that he be a linguist and
Scott came to talking pictures from the
concert stage, where he mastered all
these languages.
It was while Scott was studying with
Signor Alberti that he became inter-
eSted in Japanese music. He conf1ded
this to his groceryman, q son of Nip
pom, who happened to be q well edu-
Gated man In his native element. so
Scott exchanged knowledge Of English
for lessons in Japanese. In addition,
the tradesman introduced Scott to sew
eral japanese musicians and vocal
artists. As result, Scott has used
several Japanese numbers In his con-
cert program and they have created
considerable pleasing comment.
