the greeting cards not only were
cheapened in price, but in senti-
ment. To offset the latter, a pro.
vision of the code would establish
a board Of censors to prevent the
production or sale of vulgar, in,
decent or sacrilegiouS" cards.
The manufacturers say:
"Greeting cards belong to
that branch of creative art
through which the individual
seeks to express personality in
the social graces, and cOmpeti-
tion in such a field should be
wholly within the realm of
charm, adaptability, cIeverness
of design, appropriateness of
caption and verse, and expert
craftsmanship, rather than
mere physical size and price"
So the manufacturers code sets
two for 5 cents as the minimum
price, but adds that this provision
is not intended to top the sale OF
the penny valentine"

Life begins.
For thousands Of women, whose
lives have been ceaselesS night
mare in sweatShops, emancipa
tlon has come. Today finds them
released from unbelievable condi
tions in which they worked; finds
them even ready to sing Time on
My Hands"
Women who have toiled in
ightless, .unventilated rooms
doors locked, are to work under
conditions more fit for human
beings.
More pay-fewer hours. Time
to live.
Too Tired to Think
But, some have forgotten the
contentment of a decent place to
live, sufficient food and hours
free for amusement. Many will
find it an altogether new expert
ence.
The prospect of recapturing the
normal decencieS of life was the
principal thought in the minds OF
the women who shouted their song
OF freedom yesterday in the halls
where union garment workers and
their employers Joined voices in
reconciliation.
The things these women want
are as varied as the vaccilating
wishes of the wealthy. There are
hundreds of pitiful women, still
too tired to think.
But, the ones who are alive to
the situation have planned the ex-
penditure of the first envelope
stamped with the increase of the
NRA.
Sweatshop women - women
some of them at 14-talked freely
Of the radical change that has
swept into their lives.
Maybe a Permanent Wave
Undernourished mentally and
physically, a 16-year-old girl talked
of her first and anticipated trip to
a hairdresser. Tugging at her
straight bob that hung in uneven
excited strands about her face, she
said:
"I'm going to have a marcel
maybe a permanent. I've
wanted one so long. I've looked
at the ladies in the pattern
books and pictured myself like
one of them"
This girl, who used to make
81 a week, confessed she worked
so hours a week on diet OF
milk and crackers. She'll move
now into decent quarters, eat de-
cent food. But first she'll see
the hairdresSer.
Ah!-To Sleep
No more urging themselves
from seldom-made beds at 6 a. m.
Work no longer begins at Z and
ends with exhaustion.
What will they do? "Sleep,"
said one girl. Another said:
"WeIl get back what they
took from uS-OnCe before we
were on the verge of having all
this. We planned dramatic
clubs, we signed up for educa-
tional courses. We haven't
been entirely without ambition.
Many of us want to be dress
makers; you'd laugh, 1 sup
pose, but I have dreamed of
being a designer. Now I'll have
time for study"
It means week-ends in the
country; it means Sunday at the
beach.
Through at 4:3O, where to go?
What to do?

change for the better. The total this
week at all leading cities in the United
States, as reported by Dun g. Brad

per cent higher than the amount g
year ago.
At New York City clearings were
3,160, Isl 900. an increase of 1875 per
cent, while the aggregate for centers
outside of New York of $1,316,97 600
was 0.5 per cent lower.
The improvement was again largely
at New York City, although stock and
bond sales there were very much less
this year than they were a year ago.
Other key centers reporting heavier
clearings were Boston. Pittsburgh, st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Minneapolis Atlanta,
Richmond, Dallas and Louisville. An
important factor was the increase in
bank clearings this week of s588. .336, 900
over those for the first week of August.

BOND LIST TURNS
ACTIVE AND STRONG
U. S. Issues Retain Strength
as Speculative Groups
Rise BriskIy.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, August 17-Bonds
turned active and strong after the first
hour of trading today, which was
marked by irregularity.
The initial burst of strength in
United States Government bonds con-
tiuued through the forenoon despite the
brisk bidding up of speculative do
mestic issues, such as rails and IN
duStrialS.
Belief that the various callable Lib
erty loans might be refunded before
the year-end through some sort OF
favorable exchange offer started the
bidding in this group. First Liberty
convertible 4i2s moved up 5-32 on this
bulge as Fourth Liberty 4l4s and Lib
erty 312s each rose 2-32.
Recent Success Cited.
In view of the Treasury's success in
floating the new 3l4s, it is felt by Gov
ernment specialists here that next
month some move will be made to re-
fund the S6268 100000 of Fourth Lib
erty Alas and the S536 600 900 of First
Liberty 4i4s with 81. per cent issue,
which would mean a saving in interest
cost of $70000,000 a year. Only at
some later date are the Liberty 3l9s,
which are taX-eXempt, likely to be re-
funded. though their tax privileges
make them high-CoSt bonds.
Junior rails opened lower. but were
the first bond group to mirror the up
trend around the end of the first hour
st. Paul Adjustments opened down a
point at 22a4 Subsequently they sold
lower, but by midday were PAP. Sim
ilarly Denver, Rio Grande As opened off
point at 57l2 but quickly regained all
of their earlier losses and added frac-
tionS as well.
Rubber debentures were the first
group in the speculative induStrialS to
snap out of their earlier relapse. Kelly
Tire 6s were up 1l2 points. United
States Rubber SIS around 65& also were
better. Colorado Industrial SIS at %
were up point New York Trap Rock
IS were up 2 points at 65. Crown Eel
lerbach IS were up point around II.
Yields Part of Gains.
The market yielded part of its fore
noon advance and by midafternoOn the
list was a shade lower. with speculative
carriers, first-class rails and public util-
tiles down in order named. InduStrials
were virtually unchanged during this
period
Further declines in French govern
mentS and rails and gains in Dutch
East Indies 5 IS of 1858, Copenhagen
Telephone IS of 1854 and Rome 6l2s
of 1852 were the chief movements in
foreigns in the last hour.
Although Treasury As at one time
were down 80. from which point they
quickly recovered. United States Gov
ernments generally firmed. In domestic
rails the rallies in Allegheny Corpora
ton SIS Of 1949 and Chesapeake Cor
poration SIS were prominent. Postal Tel
egraph 5s then led the improvement in
speculative utilities. followed by Amer
icar & Foreign Power SIS. Pending

Kansas Honors
Legislator
(By l. A. Gregg

I Topeka, Kansas, March, II, CAMP
On Tuesday March 7, Dr. w. NJ Blount
State Representative from the 9Th dis
trict, was called on to preside over
the state legislature of Kansas. DR..
Blount is serving his third term as the
representative from his District and
bears the distinction of being the
senior representative from Wyandotte
county He has served his District with
such ability that he has been returned
twice to his present position, after the
enviable record he made during his
first term, even polling a majority of
the votes of the other group.
In presiding over the House last
Tuesday, DR.. Blount won the hearty
commentator of all his fellow legis-
lators both Republican and Democratic,
for the very dignified manner in which
he served, the fairness of his decisions
and the courtesies toward his fellow
members.
This is real history in the great state
of Kansas, for it is the first time that
a colored man has presided over ses-
sion of the Legislature. But that is the
spirit of Kansas, the home of John
Brown. DIR. Blount is the first colored
man to hold Craftsmanship of one of
the important committees of the Leg
islature, being chairman of the Com
mittee On Hygiene and Public Health.
He is sought by fellow members for his
advice on all matters affecting legisla-
ton because of his knowledge on
State affairs and his sane leadership.
