.SHAW IN ROLE
|. Of RED GUIDE

MOSCOW, July % U.S)'
George Bernard Shaw, who has
come to Russia for the first time,
yesterday took Maxim Litvinoff,
the Soviet commissar for foreign
affairs, sightseeing>i in his own cap
ital. At least the Shavian humor
would have had it so.
Calling at the Metropole Hotel
at 4 o. m. to keep his engagement
with the famous Irish dramatist,
Litvinoff was asked by Shaw to
show him the famous government
colony where members of the
o. G.. P. U. (Soviet secret police)
and their families are housed.
Litvinoff admitted that it
would be his first trip to the
homes of the dreaded political
police. Whereupon Shaw said:
"Now the Soviet Union will
have to admit that am doing
it a good turn because I am
showing the Soviet ministers
their own country"

HOOVER SOUNDS
COAL TRADE
ON PARLEY
Operators Asked by Telegram
If They'll Attend Confab
Such As Lewis Proposes

Prospects of assembling a bi-
luminous coal conference in
Washington, under Federal aus
pices, to relieve "the hunger, des-
peration, bankruptcies and start
ling un-American practices" al
legged to be prevailing in that in,
dustry, hinged today upon the re-
plies to a QUESTIONABLE sent some
f2S representative operators by
the Hoover Administration.
Prepared by Lewis
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers Of America,
suggested such conference to
the President in a telegram dated
June ii, which stated in part:
'Tndividual operators find
themselves helpless to maintain q
compensatory price for coal. The
fare of the workers and their de-
pendants is actually below AMI
NAL standards. .CalicOes, OverallS,
and rags constitute the clothing
= OF the mining families, while their
food consists Of mush, beans and
valOlaSSeS."
There was a some what pessi.
anistic note in the invitations, for
dt was recalled therein that fol
lowing the Lewis appeal in in
formal gathering of operations at
the Commerce Department for
the most part expressed the view
that nothing could be gained by
q joint conference.
A few days later. however, it
was set forth, similar meeting
was held in the Labor Depart
ment with the executive commit
tee Of the United Mine Workers,
at which the employees suggested
the industry had not been ef-
tectively represented at the earlier
sessions.

"Dog Days" Given Name
bv EarIv Astronorns

With the ancient Romans the month
of July and the first part Of August,
as with us, were days Of extreme
heat. The people suffered. For lack
of proper sanitation, many of them
fell Ill and died during that time.
And, as In all countries, those hot days
brought extreme discomfort to dogs,
They fell i'll of rabies, ran maddened
through the streets.
Looking to the stars for an expla-
nation Of these conditions, the astron-
omers found what the Greeks and the
Babylonians before them had found
the star known to them as Canicula,
or the Little Dog, rose in the heavens
at the same time as the sun. With
logic of sort, they decided that this
coincidence of the sun and a major
star both beaming down on the earth
together generated the extreme heat
which diminished as Canicula's time
OF rising receded from that Of the
sun, only to return year later when
they both rose together again. That
settled, they called the period dies
caniculares, or dog days.
But had they taken their astronomi-
cal knowledge and their mythology
from the Egyptians, dog days would
have been known perhaps by another
name; certainly they would have had
another significance. - Philadelphia

Ancestral Worry Over
the Rising Generation

Owner of some valuable old books,
books whose intrinsic value is en-
hanced to him because they belonged
to his reat-grandfather or his great
great-grandfather, is Ashton G. Steven
son, says Chicago dispatch.
That the generations change little is
proved, he believes, by quotations
from some Of the old almanacs he
owns. Back in 1924 the younger gen.
GRAFTON, 1t seems, was worrying the
older generation and the golden age
was In the past.
In 1924 the Western Almanack was
sorrowful because 40 years ago liter
ature meant learning and was support
ed by common sense; the ladies of the
first responsibility learned music, but
1t was the humming Of the wheel and
learned the necessary dance steps in
following it; their piano forte was a
loom and their novels the Bible; some
respect was paid to old age, to pious
ministers Of the gospel and to Sun
day."

VACATIONS
With Pay for Swiss City
Workers

Basle, Switzerland.-The city of
Basle has enacted a law by referen-
dunn vote under which all salaried
persons must be granted annual va
cations with pay, under certain pre-
scribed rules which make the dura-
tion of the vacation depend upon the
period of service.
With the exception of 10000 fac
tory workers, whose hours are regu-
lated by federal legislation, employees
of all kinds, if they have worked for
the same employer for one year or
more, come under the law. The new
legislation includes office employees,
sales people, servants, and artisans
or apprentices.
During the first four years after
the first year of employment, vaca-
tions of six days must be granted.
From the sixth to the tenth year, in
elusive, employees are entitled to nine
days, and after the tenth year to
twelve days. In reckoning the dura-
tion of the vacation only working
days are counted.

MythoIopicsl

In Greek mythology, Daedalus was
an artist, sculptor and architect of
Crete who lived three generations be-
fore the Trojan war. He built the IA
nous labyrinth on that island and to
him are attributed the inventions of
the ak, the saw, the auger, etc. Being
imprisoned with his son Icarus, he In
vented wings for flying to Sicily.
These were fastened on with wax, and
according to the legend Icarus flew so
high that the suns heat melted the
wax and he fell into the sea- Daeda-
lus himself reached Sicily. Philologists
suppose that Daedalus Is not really
q proper name but Is the common
appellation Of all the first architects,
metallurgists and sculptors in Grecian
antiquity, being derived from the
Greek word meaning ito work with

Havana Bakers Demand
Night Work Limitation

Havana, Cuba.-The Bakers I'm
ion here served notice on the bakery
owners that they would have to COM
ply with the law Of July 2, 1928,
which prohibits seven consecutive
hours of night work in bakeries.

law.

bakers are forced to work from at
night until IL the next day and that
the imposition of these long hours
