LUCK TURNS;HE
Gets SO DAYS
Night Club Waiter Loses His
Rabbits Foot: Hit
Hard.

William Hawkins, 43, Negro 1927
Shriver avenue, head waiter at a
well-known night club, was deserted
by good fortune today and fined $40
and costs and given a sixty-day
penal farm term for drunken driv-
ing.
Twice before in the last three
years Hawkins had succeeded in
avoiding punishment on drunken
driving charges, and one on a blind
tiger charge.
Miss Pauline Jackson, Is, Negro,
915 Fayette street, incurred a frac-
tured leg March % when she was
struck at Ninth and West streets by
an automobile driven by Hawkins.
Hearing was continued three times
in municipal court.
Today Hawkins, appearing be-
fore Clyde G. Karrer, judge pro tenn,
evidently confident that he would be
punished lightly, pleaded guilty.
Hawkins presented an agreement
purporting to have been signed by
himself and the accident victim in
which he promised to pay her 50 a
week for six months.

force are taken under the Bank
Conservation Act signed by Pres
ident Roosevelt, March 9, 1888. This
requires, among other things, the
written consent to the plan by the
depositors and other creditors repre-
senting at least rs per cent in
amount of it's total deposits and
other liabilities, and by stockholders
owning at least two thirds of the
outstanding capital stock.
Then the law demands that the
comptroller of the currency when
satisfied that the plan is fair and
equitable to all, give his consent
The plan as outlined has had the
approval in principle of the comp
t~oller.
The proposed setup for Indian
apolis is reported here to be the
most liberal given any city of the
R. F. c. up to this time, Jesse Jones,
chairman of the r. F. c., has stated.
While indianapolis depositors will
have so per cent available, by COM
parison depositors in banks of such
large centers as Baltimore, were
given 10 per cent in cash; Cleve-
land banks were permitted to pay
20 per cent by the government;
while, according to local informa-
ton, the high mark to date has
been in Detroit, where about IS per
cent was allowed.
If rs per cent of the de-
positors by volume and two-thirds
of the stockholders by shares give
approval, and the necessary amount
of stock is subscribed for, the plans
will become operative at once.
If the plan is blocked through
failure in any Of the steps as re-
quired by the bank conservation act,
the Fletcher bank would face liqui-
dalton, which would be long and
expensive process, according to ex-
perience elsewhere.

Acting to block attacks on the

Home Builders Association started
today to raise fund for publicity

Any attempt to alter the tax limit

house leaders have no present in
tention Of letting it, come to a vote
on the floor, because of these pro
visions.
The bill must win approval of the
administration controlled rules COM
mittee before coming up, and the
rules committee probably will do
nothing about it." Joe Byrns, Dem
ocratic floor leader, said.
While Miss Perkins is one of the
group drawing broad legislation sup
posed to provide short hours and
living wages, her letter to the labor
committee indicated that she pre-
fers dealing with the matter as she
first proposed.
Mistake to Confuse Issue
1.-THE plan for limiting hours and
establishing minimum wages has
been tried in many states, and its
success in putting more people to
work and strengthening the whole
wage scale proved" said Miss Per-
kinS.
These measures should stand on
their own merits and should be
adopted without regard to a general
plan direct and license industries.
THE technique of the Democratic
administration of minimum wage
laws is known and established by
experience. and these two provisions
can be adopted and put into opera
ton speedily. think it would be
mistake to combine and confuse
this with a broader regulatory
scheme.
While the issuing of licenses to
plants has been done as war
measure, with its purpose to con-
troll manufacturing of material in
times of extreme economic distress,
it is bound to be experimental, eau
tious and slow.
THE issuing Of licenses to direct
industrial activity and the suspen-
sion of antitrust laws may be
necessary, but I believe they should
be incorporated in another bill"
Prevents Child Labor
The labor committee bill creates
federal trade regulation board
with power to license all firms doing
interstate business, if they have pre-
viously entered into agreements
with organized labor respecting
wages, working conditions and limi-
tation of production, or if they will
accept conditions imposed by the
board on the same matters.

Warner Brothers Lead
With Musical Comedy

With the smashing success regis
tered "Footlight Parade" now show
Ing at the Capitol Theatre, Warner
Bros have firmly established them
selves as the leaders in producing this
new type Of screen entertainment.
Just as they We're months ahead Of
other organizations in introducing
musical comedies with the talking
pictures. SO again they have foreseen
the trend Of public taste. or rather
have created it, with their cycle Of
musicals which started with "42nd
Street" and was followed by "Gold
Diggers OF 1888" No wonder their
"Footlight Parade" which tops its
predecessors in story, cast and magni-
tude Of It's numbers and settings, is
the talk Of moviegoers.
This company was the pioneer In
introducing musical comedy to the
stage with such successes as THE
jazz Singer and 1.-THE Singing Fool,
starring AL Jolson. This they followed
by the first Gold Diggers" picture,
with ION With the Show" Say It
with Songs 'Show Of Shows" "Vien-
nese Nights" and others.
Unlike the earlier types OF musi-
Gals, however, the new series carries
definite and well defined plot and
is staged on scale OF magnificence
unheard Of in the early days. In this
insistence on strong story for each

popularity Of Warner Bros.
