SECRETARY OF
LABOR ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION
MISS FRANCES PERKINS
SERVING in NEW CAPACITY
NOW SHOWING HER MET
TIE IN ACTIVITIES
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
egg. 4 sAs,s.,,.a...i ts.--s,r

WASHINGTON, May A.
There's probably no member Of
President Roosevelt's official
family attracting more attention
these days than Miss Frances Per
kins.
Nor is it simply because she's
the first woman cabinet member
nor her tricorne hat nor her re-
actions to a mans job that have
attracted the attention of political
observers and others in the capt
tai. It is Miss Perkins herself
and the way she is going about
her job Of enlarging the i'm.
portance of the labor portfolio in
the Presidents cabinet.
Washington is familiar with
women in high positions. The
gentlewomen of congress for a
long time have provided observers
ample opportunity to see how they
can stand the gaff.
Fighting Back
Miss Perkins made an impress
sion the first time she made what
might be called a public appear
ance.
Those who saw her, within less
than a month after she had taken
office, before the joint commit
tees of the house and senate con-
sidering the administrations bill
creating corps of unemployed to
work in the national forests, were
convinced that she could hold her
own.
Congressional committees at
times are trying to cabinet MEM
bers. Pat Hurley, when he was
secretary of war, became SO in
censed at the iibes he suffered
at the hands of one that he stalked
out of the committee room vowing
he would not return until they
could agree to treat him with
what he termed the proper con-
sideration.
Ogden Mills, former secre-
tary of the treasury and a former
member of the house, also had his
troubles with the gentlemen ION
the HILL"
Under fire for the first time,
Miss Perkins emerged with flying
colors. There are those who viii
tell you that she bested her con-
gressional inquisitors routed
those skilled in parliamentary
practice and legal debates.
Direct In Action
Direct in everything, precedents
as such mean nothing to her. For
example, when a metropolitan
paper criticized her policies in an
editorial, she came right back
with letter explaining her stand.
An influential member of con-
gress had been having difficulty
with immigration inspectors in
his district. After repeated COM
plants, he appealed to her. She
picked up telephone, got a line
direct to the immigration office in
that section, and cleared every
thing up within q few minutes.
That's how she works. They're
already saying around here that
before she gets through the labor
department, the youngest division
of government now, will be among
the most important and influential
of all.

AKRON DISASTER
PROBE HAS VERY
UNIQUE SETTING
PROCEEDINGS STARTED IN
BARN-LIKE STRUCTURE IN
CAPITAL OUT OF KEEPING
WITH PoMP AND CEREMONY
By HERBERT PLUMMER
sRy Associated sressp

WASHINGTON, May often
it is i'm the little known places Of
Washington, or rather. in places
that the average person doesn't
know how to reach, that one en-
counters dramatic incidents in this
capital city.
And so it was when the navy
started its inquiry into the tragic
disaster that befell the airship Ak
ron in the early morning hours of
Monday, April A, off the New Jer-
sey coast.
Al naval court of inquiry always
is impressive. Gold-braided adj
mirals, captains, commanders and
lieutenants abound.
A Strange Setting
1t was the setting for the Ak
ron inquiry, however, rather than
the admirals that impressed OBJ
servers at this particular court.
Beyond the navy yard, in the
southeast section of the city, a
barn-like structure wholly out of
keeping with the dignity and pomp
of the participants was the set
ting.
Nattily dressed marines guarded
the entrances. Interested OBJ
servers could get in, but first it
was necessary to satisfy these
marines that you were an interest
ed observer.
Seated behind a green-covered
table, resplendent in his gold
braid, was the president of the
court-that affable but stern old
sea dog, Rear Admiral Henry ".
Butler. At his right was Captain
Harry f. Shoemaker, and at his
left, the third member of the court
and the lowest in rank, Command
er Sidney Kraus. Off to one side
was the Judge advocate, and to
the other the only surviving Off
Ger of the ill-starred Akron, 1t.
Com. H. ". Wiley.
Wiley knows more, perhaps,
than any living man about what
happened the night the Akron
went to her doom. But he sat
there, apparently listening to ev-
crying, but taking no part hina-
self.

streets now owned and occupied

that Duval street was the impor-

early days as well as at the present
time.
Isolated City
Key West was am extremely is
olated city in "the days of her
youth" The only means of
transportation to and from her vi
entity was by boat, and sail-boats
at that. n the wind blew. every
thing was ali right. but If . calm

mail. too, in those days was a slow
process Of communication. A ship
used TO transport the mail between
Charleston. South Carolina. and
this city every month. The peo-
pie used to flock to the dock when
the news that the uaail ship had
arrived was spread. II was the
big event Of the month.
And, now. IN conclusion. let me
add that. in spite Of the isolation
and geographical position Of our
aGem Of the Sea" in tlsose early
days. Key West was richer than

DARALYZED PORES-they claim out
i of 10 women The sad part of it is that the
very care that women think improves their
skin frequently thecause of Paralyzed Pores.
For Paralyzed Pores are due, among other
things, to the use of the wrong kind of cream
Heavy, waxy creams that you have to rub
into your skin, for instance These creams
stretch and disrend the pores and pack them
with gluey mixture of grease and dirt that
is almost impossible to get out. The pores
keep filling with this mixture which hardens
in them. In their efforts to expel the matter,
the pores become overworked, overstretched
and, finally, Paralyzed. The result then, is En-
larged Pores, Blaekbeads, Exeessiwly Dry or Oily
Skin, SaIiowness and Embarrassing Erapti0ns.
Another cause of Paralyzed Pores is the
use Of hot and cold applications which are
nothing but repeated shocks for the delicate
skin

'7-HOUR DAY ASKED
FOR n. R. A. STAFF.
Labor Advisory Board Urges
Johnson to Act-Lodge
Formation Approved.

A seven-hour work day for N. r. A.
employees and a staff large enough to
obviate overtime work was recommended
to Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, administra-
tor, in a resolution adopted last night
by the Labor Advisory Board.
The board also approved the organi-
cation of Lodge No. 81, American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, which
is composed of N. r. A. workers and
was formed to demand cessation OF
overtime work. or extra compensation
for such extra duty.
William Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and acting
chairman of the board in the absence
of DR.. Leo Wollman. delivered the reso-
ution to Miss Margaret Stabler, secre-
tary of the union, with the statement
that its approval had been unanimous.
Johnsons o. X. Is Seen.
The action puts the matter in the
hands Of Gen. johnson, who already has
indicated he will play ball" with his
employees. In the ordinary course of
such action by the Labor Advisory
Board, it is expected that Gen. john
son will give his approval to the seven
hour day schedule.
The text of the resolution follows:
Inc Natl0nal Recovery AQmlnlStra-
ton has now been in existence six
months and the unlisted overtime first
required from the staff due to emer-
gency should no longer be necessary.
The Labor Advisory Board approves Or
ganization of the N. r. A. employees in
Lodge No. 81 of the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, and
commends their effort to obtain now
the same standards as to hours and
wages existing IN the regular Federal
service.
Larger Staff Urged.
I'VE believe that this board should
lead the way in improving N. r. A.
labor conditions and We therefore
recommend that the executives respon-
Sible should Immediately employ suff1
cient new girls and men to permit the
staff to complete all except unprevent
able emergency work within seven hours
a day
We further recommend that when
emergency does require overtime of any
member Of the staff that such member
shall be given equivalent time of
within one month of the occurrence %
Adoption of the resolution follows the
request, made week ago, by a dele
CATION Of N. R. A. workers for such
action.

WASHINGTON, May 5. (AutocaS-
teri - President RooSevelt's critics
are beginning to be heard, and the
chief ground of their criticism is
that he is seeking and has obtained
powers which heretofore have been
jealously retained by Congress, max
ing the President far more. of an
actual director of the nations des-
tines than any President has ever
been even in war time.
Shelving the Constitution. some
critics say. Mr.. Roosevelt's friends
admit that the Constitution is be-
ing stretched, but they point to his
tory to justify the operation. "A
rigid Constitution ties the hands of
the present with bonds imposed un-
der past conditions, by. politicians
now long. dead" said one of these
friends. 1--WE think the country will
be better off in the hands of live
statesman than in those of dead
politicians"
The President has received power
from Congress to. change the ma
TONS whole currency system, in al
most any way he pleases. He will not
be instructed by Congress as to
what he shall do, but permitted by
Congress to do any one OF several
things, as his Judgment may dictate.
Banks, Pensions, Farms
Under the emergency banking
law the President regulates credit,
currency, gold, silver and foreign
exchange transactions. He fixes re-
strictions on the banking business
of Federal Reserve members, ap-
points conservators for any bank
when that is necessary to protect
depositors, guarantees 100 percent
liquidity on accounts opened after
a certain date, passes on the reor-.
