Parachute Jumper
Lands in Mud
As Smile Wdnes
Capt. Smiles O'Tim-
mons Makes Double Jump
at Washington Airport.

Capt. Smiles" O'Timmons, one
armed and one-lsgged dare devil, is re-
nowned for his ability to keep smiling
in the face of adversely. He is the
only man ever to jump from the l54-
foot Monongahela Bridge st Pittsburgh
and live. He has driven racing cars
which several times threatened his life
and came out smiling. though one OF
them cost him an arm and leg in a
smash-up on the Indianapolis track.
He has made parachute jumps and
landed in trees, brambles and icy water,
still able to smile.
But yesterday O'Timmons, in q dou-
Bile exhibition jump from Washington
Airport plane. went through an expert
ence which nearly wiped the famous
smile of his face. With Eddie Butler,
he jumped above Washington Airport
for the entertainment of large crowd.
All went well and the captain, pre-
sumably, was smiling until he reached
the ground, in the middle of a muddy
and odoriferous Arlington County
pie-stye.
When a rescue party reached the
captain, 1t found him smiling, but the
smile, they said, appeared more pro-
fessional than spontaneous. Butler
landed amid more orthodox surround-
lrQy.

Nothing but failure and disaster can
result from recognition of Russia. DIR.

Neither God nor the home have any
definite part in Russian national life,
DR.. Stockdale said, adding
I'VE cannot be expected to give our

will not be fulfilled by exchanging for
a few commercial dollars our belief In

New Laws Held
Aid To Women
Who Must Work
IA Legislatures Pass New
Measure Or Annul Old
Ones

WASHINGTON, Sept. / (UP)
Mo extensive regulations
governing the welfare of women
workers by state governments is
indicated by a report of labor
legislation during the six month
period ended July 80, prepared
by the Federal Women's Bureau
under the direction of Secretary
Of Labor Francis Perkins.
New labor laws for women, or
amendments to existing laws,
were passed by at least II state
legislatures, the bureau reports,
with seven states setting machl-
merry for creation Of minimum
wages.
Six Of these states, New
York, New Jersey, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Ohio, and
Illinois passed laws similar in
all essential points, patterning
them after the model law advo-
Gated by the National Consumers
League, while the seventh, Utah,
passed bill modelled after the
one in effect in California.
Two amendments to the exist"
ing Massachusetts law govern
ing minimum wages for women
were passed. both making the
law more effective and more
easily enforced. A minimum
wage bill failed of passage III
Rhode Island, but a legislative
committee was set up to inves-
tigate working conditions and
devised bill for presentation to
the next legislature.
Changes in maximum hour
laws for women were effected in
SIX states. A legal maximum of
eight hours per day and 4S
hours per week was created in
New Mexico and Wyoming for
women workers, while Connect
cut, Minnesota, North Carolina
and Texas made various changes
in existing statutes.

Manufacturers
Find Code Hour
Ruling Difficult
Some Of Largest Concerns
In The State Embarras-
sed By Situation

Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, ept. is m e
North Carolin manufacturers
who wish to cooperate thoroughly
with the administration are find
ing themselves sectionally penal
lied and seeking way to save
themselves.
For instance. there is a great
business in Piedmont North Car
DINA which has been in the habit
of running night and day in
three shifts. The hours for
workers can be very we'll ar
ranged, but the act which limits
this particular group of machines
to 80 hours, put penalty on
those manufacturers and a worse
one on their employees.
Your bureau is not licensed
to give the name Of the most
prominent of these manufactor-
les, but it may be said of it
that it rates with anything of
its kind anywhere in the nation.
These mills have been going 144
hours a week. They fire up at
midnight of Sunday and quit at
midnight of the following Sat-
urday. But when their hours
are cut down to 80 that means
$50 to 400 workers are going to
be laid off if some way is not
found to put the machinery
back on its all-itme operation.
Capus NJ. Waynick, North Car
DINA director of unemployment,
has discussed this situation with
several manufacturers and parti-
cularly with the one to be most
Immediately and seriously af-
fected. Mr.. Waynick of course
does not have any power of
remedy. The factories touched
by this ruling are not all listed
and it is not known how serious
the handicap may be. But it is
learned that mills elsewhere in
the country are being exempted
from the conditions and allowed
to operate their machinery. The
big factory referred to has for
an almost indefinite time run on
the full "a hour basis.
