FIVE-DAY WEEK
Asked in Grain Exchange
Code

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)--At a
hearing on proposed code for grain
exchange firms, President Frank B..
Powers, Of the Commercial Telegra-
piers Union of North America,
strenuously objected to reports made
by members Of the industry that un-
employment was slight and showed
that 48 per cent of all telegraphers
in the industry are unemployed. Mem
bers Of the industry, who claimed
department of commerce figures as
support, said employment was 80 per
cent of 1929 figures.
Definite classification of employees
who would be exempted by the $35
per week provision was asked by
Powers who said telegraphers were
made to work extra hours, although
not classified as executives. Repre-
sentatives of the industry said they
were willing to have the exemption
apply only to executives and persons
in managerial or supervisory capacity
and not to skilled employees receiv-
ing over $35 per week.
Powers also asked that workers be
employed on five-day week basis
and unemployed telegraphers be en-
ployed on the sixth day.
The code would set an average 40
hour week, IA hours in emergency
averaged over four months period
without pay for overtime. Maximum
hours would apply to guards and
watchmen, outside statesmen, partners
in any copartnership, employees In
managerial capacity receiving over
$35 per week. Wages would range
from 81 to SIC per week. All time
in excess of IA hours would be paid
at the rate of 1873 1-3 per cent of
regular rate. Wages would not be
reduced if they were above the fixed
minimum prior to signing of code.

GREEN INSISTS
WORK WEEK BE CUT

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)--Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, strongly prot
tested against the 40-hour week, 40
cents per hour minimum and other
labor provisions Of the Diesel engine
code. Declaring that the code would
serve as a standard for at least 4O
other codes being sponsored by the
Machinery and Allied Produts lnsti-
tute, President Green said that con-
sideration of it's terms presented
grave responsibility to the national
recovery administration.
The labor head insisted that the
work week must be shortened in all
industries and that in this particular
case a 40-hour week would create nc
unemployment whatsoever as the
Diesel engine industry has been work
ing on that recently.

DOCTORS Cite
fire DANGERS
Warn Against Scalding Water
in Tubs; Grass Fires, ETC.,
to Prevent Burns.

Spring house cleaning time is a good
time, according to members of the
Public Health Education Committee of
the Minnesota State Medical ASsocf-
alton. to consider what are the
commoneSt causes of serious burns and
how to prevent them.
The tubs of hot water in use these
days in thousands Of homes for scrub
bling floors, washing curtains and rugs
cleaning porcheS, are a source of danger
to small children, the doctors point out
So are the leaf and trash fires to
which all children are irreSistably at
tracted.
Among approximately go cases OF
burns admitted to the University Hos
pital in the last four years." says the
bulletin issued today, the largest num-
Der occurred among children from one
to five years and the next largest was
among young adults between 81 and 80
Three of the children in the Uni
versity cases. fell into hot water left in
a tub or pail on the floor while the
mother was cleaning; two fell into a
bonfire; two were playing with
matches; one burned his hand on hot
stove; one pulled pan of boiling water
off the stove onto himself; one got in
the way of burning lard which the
mother threw out over the back porch;
one was hurt in an oil stove explosion
and one in the explosion which oc-
Cured while he watched his mother
put gasoline instead of kerosene in the
stove"
These accidents, the doctors say, were
the result Of careleSSneSs on the part
of adults in charge. Studies made
everywhere tell the same story. Parents
are especially cautioned never to leave
pals or tubs of hot water where tod
oilers can fall into them. House clean
ing time seems to make adults especi-
ally liable to such lapSeS. They are
warned, also, never to allow the
handles of pans or pots to extend over
the edge of the stove where small
children can reach and pull them off
OF course, children should never be al
lowed to play with matches or to play,
lIlN CgG44CNA, ClOoC W OuI-NOO1 NOAA44ACo,
a fact which is borne out by the figures
which show many more girls than boys
among the seriously burned.
Gasoline accidents account for the
majority of serious burns in the young
adult group" says the bulletin. In
the University group, gasoline ex-
plosions, gas tanks filled while the
motor was running, gasoline blown into
a cylinder while cleaning spark plugs,
are listed among the direct causes"
As a general rule, the doctors agree,
any burn-even if it is only a So-ealled
first degree burn" where the skin is
Redeemed but not bIistered-that covers
as much as one-third Of the body sur
face should be considered a serious
matter. It calls for doctors help
Immediately. Smaller burns may be
equally dangerous depending upon the
depth and site of the burn.

Forest Fires Caused
About 100000 Damage

Though there were timely rains last
Minnesota, there were enough small
ones to destroy about a hundred
thousand dollars worth of property.
That's encouraging if the figures are
compared with 1881, when the damage
was about three hundred thousand
dollars Sometimes it has been several
times that in dry years But it Is still
too great loss for carelesSnesS. In fact
it is discreditable, former State Con-
servation Commissioner w. t. Cox re-
ported that careless smokers, careless
hunters and fishermen, careless campers
and motorists and probably careless
settlers are responsible for most of the
damage.
He recently completed his annual
compilation of fires and found that of
the 2,115 fires handled by the state
forestry service in 1882, BAT were caused
by smokers, 159 by hunters, 104 by
campers, 148 by berry-pickers, SO by
motorists, sc by fishermen and 80 by
children. Then there were 462 fires
started by meadow burners, 283 origin
ated through land clearing and 1856
were incendiary. The origins of most
of the rest unknown, except that forty
eight were traced to railroad. locoino-
tiVes and seventeen to lightning.
In some cases the damage would have
been heavy if the alert forest patrols
had not checked the fires before they
made much Roadway, but smokers who
dropped lighted cigarettes in the woods
or campers who left their fires burning
are none the less culpable.

FROM THE
STUDY WINDOW
HEALTH
By OWEN PARKER

LIE me quote the old Venetian, who
long years ago recognized the blessings
OF health and preservation of life when
he said, Practice divine sobriety,
pleasing to God, the friend of nature,
the daughter of reason, the sister of
virtue, the companion of temperate
living, the loving mother of human life,
the true medicine both of soul and body.
How much should men praise and thank
thee for thy courteous gifts, for that
| gives them the means of preserving
life in health, the blessing, which it did
not please God we should have a
greater in this world, life and existence
so naturally priced, so willingly guarded
by every living man.
Health is universally sought by all
mankind. Ever through the ages as
man has CROPPED through the darkness,
seeking light, he has sought to add to
his knowledge of the ways and means
of preserving health and adding to his
years. He has succeeded in adding
years to his life and he has given a
child born today a much better chance
to live and grow to mature years with
safety from disease than any of the
previous generations were privileged to
have. Speaking concretely, you and !
did not have an equal chance to live
when we were born that the baby of
today has.
There have been wonderful &C
complishmentS in the prevention of
disease and preservation of health in
very recent years.
The Panama canal could never have
been built had it not been for the pre-
vention of disease. Col GorgaS of the
U. S. Army made the deadly Panama
Zone equal to health resort by carry
ing out preventative measures against
disease, especially against yellow fever
the cause of which had just been dis
! covered. Hundreds of men had pre-
viously died, in an attempt to work in
the Canal Zone.

HOW TO KEEP WELL


Sixty-one cases of undulant fever in
Minnesota last year among meat
handlers, users of raw milk
Among the diseases conveyed by
animals to man, undulant fever is one
of the most recently discovered and one
of the most important so far as the
average human is concerned, says a
bulletin issued today by doctors of the
Minnesota State Medical Association.
'Undulant fever in man may come
from an infection called Brucella Abor-
tuS or 'Abortive fever in goats or cattle
or pigs" the doctors say 1.-THE infec-
ton that comes from cattle gets to
humans usually through infected milk
The infection from pigs is most fire.
quent among farmers or those who
handle raw pork and it is one of the
few such infections that psychologists
believe can penetrate the unbroken
skin. The infection that comes from
goats is confined largely to the South
west where goats are more numerous
and where it reaches humans mainly
through goats milk
The disease is of interest to Mime
last year and 70 the year before. Many
of them could have been avoided if the
milk the victims drank had been pas
teurized, according to the doctors. About
80 per cent of the herds of Minnesota
are infected with the disease, according
m e+rrdioc 10 OF tho T1Y1iuorcifxy of
Minnesota farm school and probably
a good many drink infected milk with
out any harm resulting. A few, how
ever, will get more virulent strain or
will be lacking in physiological resist
ance, and will contract the disease.
"Undulant fever gets it's name" the
doctors declare, from the typical fever
that rises and falls in an undulating
line, when it is graphically presented
for period of three months or more.
The disease is characterized by weakness
and some pain. Usually the victim is
obliged to go to bed for at least one
third of the time, though there are some
who manage to keep up and about
their work 1t is difficult without lab
oratory tests to tell the disease from
tuberculosis, sometimes, and it is often
incorrectly called influenza and even
typhoid fever. u
''The outlook for recovery is, on the
whole, good" say the doctors, though
it is serious disease which causes each
year, few deaths. The infection from

apparently, than that from cattle.
"Pasteurization of all milk will prac-
tically eliminate all but the few cases
among those who work with raw meat,
in the infection that comes from cattle"
the bulletin concludes "Undulant fever
certainly should be added to the men
aces that exist in raw milk
