HELP FOR STORM
SUFFERERS ALONG
COAST NOW ASKED
KEY WEST RED CROSS CHAP
TER RECEIVES TELEGRAM
IN APPEAL MADE FROM
EAST COAST SECTIONS

The Key West Red Cross chap
ter received the following tele-
gram asking for relief to be given
the storm sufferers on the East
Coast.
The appeal is signed by Dewitt
Smith, manager Of the Eastern
Area of the Red Cross and is as
follows:
RED Cross has undertaken re-
lief work on behalf of sufferers in
the Florida hurricane. At least
1000 families in Martin, Palm
Beach and Santa Lucie counties
have lost all or a great part of
their possessions including homes
and crops.
No reports from the interior
have been received but this figure
will doubtless be increased. A
large relief fund is, therefore.
necessary in order to meet the
needs on a minimum basis.
Please give wide publicity and
initiate Immediately local cam
paign for funds, assuring the pub
lie that all funds given will be
spent in Florida for relief exclu-
sively.
Every chapter in the state is
being asked to make the fund cam
paign and contributions should be
RENTED to national headquarters
semi-weekly."

CHILD NOW
AMONG PROBLEMS
FACING COUNTRY
PROPOSAL. TO BAN THIS MA
TURE OF OPERATIONS is
CONSIDERED ONE or OUT
STANDING IMPORTANCE
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
my Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. t.
The proposed twentieth amend
ment to the constitution-that
which would ban child labor in in
dustry-may occupy a niche oil
its own in constitutional histry.
Back in the sixty-eighth con-
gress in 1924. the joint resolution
proposing such an amendment was
passed by congress. The house
acted first. On April &c Of that
year by a vote of 257 to SO it gave
its approval for submission. Less
than two months later-on June
2-the senate fell into line by q
81 to % vote.
1t then went to the states foI
ratification.
Only six states approved the
proposed amendment up until the
time the new administration came
into being at Washington. They
were Arizona, Arkansas, Californ.
ia. Colorado, Montana and Wis
consin.
The legislatures Of 26 states had
voted disapproval. They were Con
necticut. Delaware. Florida. Geor-
gia, Idaho. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine. Mary
land, Massachusetts,, Minnesota,
Missouri, New Hampshire, North
Carolina. North Dakota, Penhsyl-
vania, South Carolina, South Da-
kota, Tennessee. Texas, Utah,
Vermont and Virginia.
Looked Like Failure
Since it requires three-fourths
of the states to ratify an amend
ment to the constitution before il
becomes operative, the twentieth
amendment appeared doomed.
However, the trainers of the
amendment placed no time limit
for ratification in their draft. The
so-called "lame duck" amendment,
for example, had 10 be ratified
within seven years from the date
Of submission or else il would have
been dead. The same holds true
with the twenty-first amendment
prohibition repeaD now being
voted on by the various states.
A Significant Omission
The absence of this time limit
clause may cause the proposed
child labor amendment 10 become
a part Of the Constitution.
Since the advent of the NRA
and the blue eagle on the national
scene, there's been a decided pick
up in ratification Of this amend
ment. Nine state legislatures since
March have forwarded % the
state department at Washington
notification Of the fact that they
have approved the amendment.
Two OF the states that have
ratified since March { previously
had voted against the amendment.
On May % New Hampshire nosi-
fled Washington that il had
changed its mind. And on August
II. North Dakota announced that
il had done sn about face.
Fifteen states have ratified. Ia
addition 20 the SIX that had pre-
viouaiy given their approval. they
are Illinois. North Dakota. Okla
hsFns. Oregon. New Jersey. Ohio.
New Hampshire. Washington and
Michigan.
The child labor clause ln the

the credit.

Royal Kisses Seal Economic Fate
OfPrinceA ndI7is Con1rnoner Wife
eRy Associated Press,

NH ~ 6DO u0, upper OiIeSla,
September IA kiss sealed the
economic fate of the newly wed
Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, heir
presumptive to the German throne.
Today he and his commoner wife
enjoy the smiles of the rest of
the family.
'Life is getting to be nicer ev-
cry day." wrote his wife, the for
mer Dorothea Won Salvatini, to
Count Hans Juergen Won Blumen-
thai, who was best man at the
wedding.
Five rooms in large Kreuz-
burg villa belonging to retired
Silisian capitalist are the princely
couples present home. They might
have claimed the spacious if old
fashioned manor on Sternalitz es-
tate, some 10 miles away, where
Prince Wilhelm works every day
as farmer. but that would have
meant ousting the superintendent
who has grown gray in the SER
vice.
Anything's All Right
Anything will do for me, pro-
vided ] don't have to go out into
the yard and hold my head under
a pump for my daily morning
toilet" Mrs. HohenzoIlern told her
husband as they started out house
hunting.
Their welded bliss is increased
by the fact that contrary to fon-
dest expectations Crown Prince
Frederick Wilhelm and Crown
Princess Cecilie have taken them to
the family bosom and have forgiv-
en- them for having married in de-
fiance of Hohenzollern house
laws. As result their economic
future is assured.
From Bonn, the scene of their
marriage, the couple went for a
honeymoon to Norderney, the cell
ebrated North Sea spa. Stopping
at the Mecklenburg estate of
Count Blumenthal, they talked
over possibilities and incidents
that might result when they ap-
peared in Gels castle, near Bres-
lau. where Wilhelm was to intro
duce his wife to his parents.
Feared First Meeting
With some fear and trepidation,
Dorothea afterwards Econfided, she
unpacked her trunk in the room to
which the young couple were ush-
cred, and wondered just how the
first meeting would be, when in
came the Grown Princess, threw
her arms about her, kissed her
fondly and told her to call her
mother. That broke the ice.
As an outward sign of reconcil-
iation. Cecilie handed her as be-
lated wedding gift the costly jew
els-auge aqlamarines-given her
by the former Kaiser Wilhelm III
and the late Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria when she bore her first son,
Wilhelm, now the husband of Dor
othea.
The crown prince. entering a
few minutes later, also embraced
the young daughter-inslaw affect
tionately, told her that everything
was OK and that she should no
longer worry about the silly house
law.

Tobacco Sales
Eagerly Awaited
In North Carolina
Hopes for Processing Tax
on 1888 Crop Are
Dispelled.
BY ROBERT E. WILLIAMS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH, N. c., August 5.-Opening
Of the marketing season for tobacco is
eagerly awaited in North Carolina, as
that agricultural commodity Is more i'm
portant to this State than cotton, and
since. unlike cotton, tobacco Is not un-
der the protection of the farm adjust
ment act.
Conferences held here last week with
Federal officials, following a visit by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, gave
rise to hopes a processing tax would be
placed on this years tobacco crop, but
that hope has largely been dissipated by
later advices from Washington. There
fore, there Is great uncertainty as to the
price which this years crop, about twice
that produced in 1882, will command.
Size Of Crop Doubled.
The North Carolina crop. comprising
normally about three -fourthS of all the
bright tobacco grown in the United
States, is this year about twice the size
of the 1882 crop of 270,000,000 pounds,
which brought price of only IL cents
a pound as against a 10-year average
from 1919 to 1929 of "a cents, although
the crop was far below normal and far
below consumption.
With the opening Of the Georgia
markets this week. accompanied by
much complaints as to prices, there is
much concern as to what will happen
when the marketing season begins in
this State.

cludes five towns In North Carolina,

restive under the requirements and &C

In discussions preliminary to the
group meetings of the Kansas Bankers
Association the latter part of this
month, there is evident a growing
movement on the part Of the State
banks of Kansas to stay out OF the
insurance guaranty fund of the latest
-Steagall bill. Also several lead
ing national bankers are talking now
Of surrendering their national char
tiers and becoming State banks. pro-
vidiEg the Kansas banking laws are
revised "along sound lines" This may
be mostly talk, but the national bankers
of Kansas are in rebellion against the
Federal guaranty fund.
Small Men Protesting.
Small business men all over Kansas
are protesting-so far under their
breath-against the blanket code re-
curing them to shorten hours mate
rally and increase their wage pay
rolls They are applauding shorter

big industry should foot the bill; not
the little business man.
From the Governors Office, through
conversations and not in statements for
publication, are reported considerable
disappointment at the patronage poll
cies of the national administration.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August S.

that would perhaps compete with the
famous Bacardi rum of Cuban produc-

1t is well understood, OF course, that

was revolution to raise unskilled labor
from $3.50 and 50 a week for SIS hours

was much waste time and much loaf1ng

somewhat out Of harmony with the
Roosevelt administration and a poten-

Harrison.
Senator Harrison, on a visit to his
home State. urged by press and radio
the submission without further delay
of the question of the repeal amend
ment
Il know of no reason in the world
why the people of Mississippi should
not be given an opportunity to pass
on the question Of the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment" said Senator
Harrison. The quicker it is repealed,
the greater opportunity We will have
to reduce taxes that have been neces-
sary to balance the Federal budget.
Il voted for the repeal during the
recent session largely because my party
had declared in the Chicago platform
for repeal. I am a good Democrat
and go through.
