SHORTER DAY,
MORE men IS
TRIED IN WEST
California Builders Work
Plan of Two 5-Hour
Shifts.

To double the number of men
employed, a working day of two
shifts Of five hours each in the
construction industry is advocated
by the California State Chamber
of Commerce, through the recently
organized California Building Con-
gress. Already inaugurated in San
Francisco, the plan, its sponsors
hope, will spread to other parts of
the country, and aid in relieving
widespread idleness in the building
field.
The congress has found that la
Dor working five hours a day ac-
tually is producing more work per
hour than on the eight-hour basis,
according to Frederick H. Meyer of
San Francisco, director of the Amer
lean Institute of Architects, and
chairman of the northern section of
the congress.
Labor Cost Reduced
Thus, he pointed out in an appeal
for cooperation sent to all mem
bers of the congress. the decreased
labor cost will offset any charges
resulting from the changing of
shifts. The arrangement contem-
plates an intermission Of half an
hour between shifts.
employers and employees" Meyer
says, ARE agreed that the two five
hour shifts plan can be applied
with advantage to all concerned,
carpenters, laborers, excavators,
truck drivers and bricklayers, with
perhaps a few minor exceptions.
The five-hour shift was adopted
in preference to the four-hour
shift, it being felt that four hours
pay would not provide a living in
come.
Provides Fifty-Hour Week
1.-THE plan will provide a fifty
hour week as opposed to a forty
eight-hour week under the univer-
sally adopted five-day week. 1t is
obvious that this will effect saw
ing in overhead to the contractor
and also will deliver the building to
the owner in shorter period of
time, which will be reflected in the
return on the investment.
"The Bay District Council Of Car
penters, in conjunction with the
leading contractors of San Fran
cisco, has officially Endorsed the five
hour shift plan, which on Jan. 18
became effective, covering all the
carpentry work in the War Memoir
ial building in the San Francisco
Civic Center"

Griff Is Jubilant

Clark Griffith was quite jubi-
liant today over the strengthen
ing of his pitching staff within
48 hours by the addition this
morning of Alphonse Thomas
from the Chicago White Sox
and day before yesterday Of
Dick Coffman from the st.
Louis Browns.
These two twirlers give Wal
ter johnson an eight-man
mound staff with which to baf-
file the opposition and both the
manager and club owner believe
the team is now fortified to
make a real bid for the pen
nant.
Griff is not contemplating
trading any of the present
members of the club to further
bolster his team. Every man
can now buckle down to work
safe in the conviction he is not
on the trading block. Unless
some very attractive PROPOSE
ton were made Griff in the
next four days, he will stand
pat.
Griff had an opportunity to
get Jack Russell from Boston,
but preferred Thomas. Russell,
who went to Cleveland yester-
day, has been a hard pitcher
for washington to beat. but ne
has not given the other clubs
so much trouble.

PLAYS SILVER
. SPRING GIANTS
BY SID KATZNELL

"Tubba" Farrell, famed local
and Holy Gross athlete, will have
to make his Rockville A. A. base
ballers play fast ball tomorrow
when Brooke Grubb's Silver
Spring Giants are met on Welsh
Field. Rockville, Md, at 3 o'clock.
Realizing the task his StalWarts
are up against, Farrell nominated
his ace pitcher, Lefty Coleman, to
tWirl the Sabbath engagement.
This fellow Coleman certainly can
pitch ball. He has a fast ball
that many big league moundsmen
would like to possess.
Rockville has won nine games
and lost four this season. The
losses were to such strong teams
as the French's. Capitol Heights,
etc.. and those mines had to fight
every inch of the way before they
could subdue the Rockville aggre-
cation.
Team in Shape
Paul Messnik, manager OF the
Hecht batsmen, has his boys in
tip-top condition for their game
with the league-leading PalalS
Royal nine tomorrow at II o'clock
on diamond No. 4 of the Monu.
ment Grounds. It's a Department
Store League contest.
The Hechts have a slight
chance for the first half series.
They have won and lost 2, and
have 4 more games to play while
the Royalmen have won four and
lost none, having five contests to
play.
To sum up everything, the
Hechts must win all their games
while their rivals must lose the
majority of theirs.

that no fewer than four players

Victorious over the Baltimore

Pilots today were to do battle with
the illdales in Philadelphia.
Prior to departing for the
Quaker City the Pilots intimated
that Chet Brewer, ace right
handler, will be their slab selection
against hilldales tomorrow. The
visitors likely will nominate "Ace"

Truth is Out

LondoS has been around this
world long enough to learn who
is to be trusted and who is
not. If the truth must be told
without quoting the champion.
he is not too sure he wouldn't
take a turning-around by his
enemies in other quarters.
The natural consequence of
the condition in which one
finds the wrestling business
these days and times will be
that sooner or later the chal-
1enges and the alibis have got
to be done with and this trio
of kingpin performers agree
to a round robin, which will
terminate with a champion &C.
ceptable to all factions.
It seems to lis more or less
natural that all, or at least
part, of such a round robin
should be held in Washington,
and if Londos has his say this
will come to pass.

WIMBLEDON, England, June
11.-America retained the Wight
man Cup today when Mrs. Helen

some satisfaction this afternoon
when Mrs. Eileen Whittingstall
defeated Miss Helen Jacobs, Of
California, Ga, 2-6, 6-1, in a
brilliant game in which every
point was keenly contested in the
first two sets.
Miss Jacobs appeared exhausted

NECKTIES MAY BE
EASILY SALVAGED
Cleaning Solvent, Necktie Board
and Iron, Only Equipment Need
ed-Flat, Pressed Look Avoided

Frugal housewives can salvage
many a discarded necktie by using
correct methods for cleaning and
pressing the tie at home, accord
ing to Lois Holderbaum, State
College extension clothing expert.
Even neckties that are badly soil
ed and wrinkled can be made to
look almost new. The flat, press
ed look which characterizes so
many renovated neckties can be
avoided by using the right equip
ment.
Neckties are cleaned by. dipping
them in cleaning solvent. The SOL
vent can be purchased at almost
any filling station and should not
be confused with naptha, much
more inflamable substance. If the
tie contains food spots which do
not come out, a pad of cloth may
be slipped inside the tie and the
spot sponged with warm water.
The place should be blotted dry
with towel as quickly as possible
to avoid the appearance of a ring.
After being dipped in the solvent
again the necktie should be thoro-
~ dried, preferably outdoors.
To avoid flat, pressed look, a
necktie board should be added TO
the regular pressing equipment.
