they are operating under the NRA
code of fair competition, they arc
exempt from the provisions of the
state law with regard to working
hours Of women employees" Com
missioner Fletcher said.
"This is not the case, however,
since the North Carolina labor law
prohibits the employment of any
woman worker in store or pub
lie eating place for more than 10
hours a day, of So hours a week
and for a period of not more than
six continuous hours without a

ANY store or eating place man,

! that the case still remains strict
ly police affair. 1t is neither
the law nor the custom for the

proof OF indication that they are
victims of a mistaken or some
injustice.
While Swift was being inter-
viewed in the Sante Prison, his
wife was being interrogated by
another attorney at La Petite
Roquette.
Further details of the alleged
plot were disclosed yesterday by
the police. Secret service agents
said they believed they had
broken up only a small unit of
a prosperous international spy
syndicate which was ready to
sell its services to any govern
ment, either for military and
naval, or to any manufacturing
group DESTROYS of learning "the
enemy's" trade secrets.
Examination of the volumin-
Gus documents seized from the
assersted men and women will
take at least until February, and
in the meantime the prisoners
will be held in Jail.
Police discounted what they
termed "Miss Tilley's" pretense
at being an art student, declar-
ing that her activities in paint
ing and art classes were merely
a blind for her more important
operations in the field Of espion-
age.
Richly dressed and attractive,
Marjorie was one of the clever
est operatives. they said, they
have known since the late Malta
Hari, music hall dancer who was
executed as a spy during the war.
She was particularly success
full, the police said, in losing
detectives assigned to trail her.
Police also revealed that for
weeks they had tapped telephones
leading to the Switz rooms in a
hotel in the Rue Antin. The ar
rest was made after the inter-
ception of one conversation in
which it was indicated the cou-
pie were preparing to flee.
Thus far, examination Of the
documents seized with the an
rested group has convinced po-
lice the organization had aSSo-
ciated units in the Italian Maj

States, Japan and Finland.
Of the Is suspects arrested in
Paris, police contend half of
them belong to the "Stahl Unit
and the other half to the "Switz
Unit"
The arrests have "only began"
the police declared. They are
still looking for the mysterious
chief known through correspon-

MEASLES SHOW
BIC INCREASE
Over 1000 More Cases
Recorded For Month
Over Dec. 1892
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Dec. %. - North
Carolina is having another crop"
of measles cases this year, reports
to the state board Of health show
ing an unusually heavy increase
in measles during the past two
months. according to DR.. d. +.
Milan, acting epidemiologist.
During the first three weeks of
this month a total of 1920 new
cases of measles have been report
ed as compared with only 203 new
cases reported in the correspond
ing three weeks in December,
1882, DR.. Milan pointed out. In
dications also are that the numbee
of measles cases will probably IN
crease throughout the colder win
ter months, when it is most prev
alent.
A considerable increase in the
new cases of diphtheria and scar
let fever is also noticeable, al
though the increase in these two
diseases is not alarming, Dr.. Mi
lam said. So far this month 2OS
new cases of diphtheria have been
reported as compared with lat
new cases in the same three weeks
in December last year, while 424
new cases of scarlet fever have
been reported during the past
three weeks as compared with 289
cases reported in the same period
in December, 1882.
"While the increase in the
number of diphtheria and scarlet
fever cases is not especially en-
couraging, at the same time it is
not alarming and does not indi-
cate anything approximating an
epidemic of either" DR.. Milan
said.
"The heavy increase in the
number of measles cases recently,
however. indicates that we are
having another measles epidemic,
such as occurs about every four
or five years, or whenever another
crop Of children comes along that
have not had measles and thus be-
come immunized in a previous cpl
demic. Indications so far. how
ever, are that most of the measles
cases are mild. But parents should
be careful not to run any risk If
letting children with measles take
cold sine there is always danger
of measles developing into pneu-
monia.''

make us happy. As the seasons
come and go, spring and fail'
seed-time and harvest, we see
how abundantly our Father cares
for US in the rich harvests of
fruit and grain which feed and
nourish our physical bodies while
His other gifts of love, beauty
and peace, gladden. our hearts
and strengthen our souls, insplr-
ing us to seek Him as the great
Giver of Gifts whose Spirit
prompts all giving.
Even in the humbleSt sur
roundings there are rich gifts if
we have eyes to see them. Jesus
came to open the eyes of the
blind to new and beautiful
things. When He touches our
eyes with the finger of Love,
then they are opened wider and
we see more clearly the beauty
all around us. Life then becomes
glorious adventure. an eXpedl-
ton to discover the hidden treas
ures of the Spirit which are gifts
that money cannot buy.
God, alone, is the source of all
good things-all peace, Tranquil
/ lily, love, Joy, happiness and
faith are found in Him. and all
these He gives us without money
and without price. These are
the imperishable gifts, the treas
ures that bestowing upon others,
we shall lay up in heaven fol-
ourselves, where neither moth
nor dust doth corrupt, nor thieves
break through and steal. And
where our treasure is, there will
our hearts be also.
All over the world today we
hear it whispered that the time
lis drawing near when the Christ
will return to us again; indeed,
He does come to us in spirit each
Christmas and we rejoice that
it is true. Let us pray without
ceasing and strive to be found
worthy to be with Him in His
kingdom. Let us love Him and
our fellowman more and more
every day and wish only good
to reign over the whole earth in
in His Name and for His sake.
| am sending you each and
everyone my love and blessing,
and asking. that as the flowers
grow and unfold in the love and
life Of the Spirit. SO may you
grow beautiful to meet your Lord
when He comes.
Your friend,

TREASURY BONDS
ADVANCE SHARPLY

BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. September lit re-
manned for Treasury bonds to enllven
the public's interest in bonds today.
Without their advance the market dur
ing the morning would have been de-
void of feature.
Bearing out the predictions heard in
well informed bond circles, when Treas
ury issues opened firm after a week of
activity that might we'll have left the
market tired, the lowly IS quickly ad-
vanced through their old high for the
year. getting within y of point OF

perienced bond men as a prerequisite to
q successful refunding operating this
Winter in a program Of pairing down
the huge issue of Fourth liberty 4l4s.
At the same time all the other low
coupon Treasury issues were favored by
substantial orders, the execution OF
which caused advances which readily
bore out what specialists said late last
week about the character of the supply.
Supply Is Limited.
Up to date this strength in Govern
ment bonds has been due to the fact
that banks and institutions which have
any bonds for sale have placed them
in the market on a rising scale. To-Day
1t seemed that the availability Of these
orders to sell was the markets only
source of supply. for prices mounted
at pace more rapid than anything
seen during the movement to date. The
21sS sold as high as 100 21-32 Just
before noon and one issue on the 3asS
advanced nearly IA point.
In the meantime the credits of foreign
governments were not well supported.
Dutch East Indies IS Of 1862 sold down
to 134s. and French government rs
were off full point at l42, The great
est display Of weakness was in German
government bonds, the Is breaking more

or "a points under their 1888 high and
within points of their old low. Other
Germans were heavy The agitation for
a boycott on German goods. which re-
ceived much impetus yesterday, was
responsible for the weakness of bonds
OF that nationality.

commodity markets burst forth with
bullish activity in the afternoon. trad
ers were willing to buy speculative
bonds, which. during part of the day.
had been almost neglected.
ST. Paul Adjustment IS and the New
