Presidents Act; 80 Per Cent

President Hoover shortly before
noon today signed the bill pro-

holiday for Federal workers.
The law thus automatically
goes upon the statute books and
is in effect this week.
Workers Are Joyous
The process of regearing the
governmental machinery so as to
permit the orderly operation Of
the act next Saturday already
has been undertaken by depart
mental chiefs, who joined today
with the rank and file of the
Federal personnel in joyous cele'
bration of their legislative vic

Officials do not think there will
be any real trouble in permitting
at least 80 per cent of the work
ers to take their half-holiday on
the first appointed day. Those
on rush jobs" will be asked to
remain at work, however.
The "break" which came the
workers way in the closing days

seemed set against any c0nces-

MRS, WARNE

Officers of the Nays dirigible
Los Angeles were allowed to smoke
aboard for the first time during
the recent maneuvers off Panama,
it was learned today.
A tiny, asbestos lined smoking
room was placed forward in the
cabin. While smoking regula-
lions were strict, the officers were
able at intervals to satisfy partly
the pangs of the smoker.
Although the Los Angeles de-
ponds upon a non-inflammable
gas, helium, for it's buoyancy,
smoking heretofore has been
barred.

The new dirigible being built at
Akron, Ohio, will have a smoking
room similar to that on the Los
Angeles.
Smoking permission followed
similar concessions to comfort
aboard the Los Angeles. After a
number of unsuccessful expert
ments with electrical cooking ap-
paratus, an open gas flame was in
stalled for cooking purposes. A
protective barrier of asbestos was
built around the stove, and this,
like the smoking room, is consid-
cred safe.

He walked up and down the roos1
waiting. There was a book in the
chair where Gypsy had been sitting

careiessly, came to marker. It
was a kodak print. The face of a

a French beret, smiled up at him.
TIERE I am" Gypsy called as
l. 4 she entered the room. What
was it you were going to show me,
Jim?"
Wanace's back was toward her.
He stood at a window, staring out
across the lawn. At the sound of
her voice he turned.
Didn't you say you had some
thing to show me?" the girl asked
again.
"Why-did Couldn't have been
anything important. I guess I've
forgotten It'll" He was making an
elaborate effort to seem casual.
Gypsy watched him, puzzled.
What time are the moverc COM
ing tomorrow for Aunt Ellen's
things?" he asked lamely.
Gypsy told him they had prom
ised to arrive at 9 o'clock. There
was more talk of inconsequential
things and then Wallace excused
himself.
Gypsy noticed he was quiet
throughout dinner. Afterward.
when they all went to the living
room, he said something about hav-
ing work to do. He left them and
went into the library. Gypsy waited
until 1920, but he did not reappear.
The moving van was still backed
up in the driveway at 10 o'clock
next morning when the doorbell
rang. Gypsy opened the door upon
a tail, heavily built woman wearing
a black plush coat and blue hat.
The woman extended a card, "I'm

said.

Yes, Ma'am I've cooked in res
taurants and hotels and private

the woman was on her feet.
