DISPUTE OVER FLORIDA
CLAIM ON SHARK OIL
Californians Deride Rivals Ballyhoo
on Discovering Merits of Product.

Californians Dseride Rivals Ballyhoo
on Discovering Merits of Product.
By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO. April II. -
California and Florida have at vari-
Gus times shouted banana oil, "
whale OIL and similar epithets at
their rival claims. At the moment,
dispute looms over shark oil
1t began when Max N. Schaefer
of Monterey, noticed a news item
from Florida, telling of a marvellous
scientific discovery" by Miami scien-
fists.
The discovery, according to the
news item, was that shark liver oil,
in concentrated form, yields the
same therapeutic value from a drop
that cod liver oil does from tea
spoonful.
Schaefer's indignation was par
ticularly vehement-for a good rea-
son.
Schaefer, together with several
scientists at Hopkins Marine station,
discovered the medicinal proper
ties of shark liver oil. They still are
working in the hope of producing
an oil that is tasteless, as well as
therapeutically potent.
Tests are being continued in an
ecort to establish scientifically the
medicinal value of the oil, so the
American Medical Association will
recognize it. Schaefer said.

law limiting work to five days a
week.
%. We should set minimum
wages in various industries.
%. We should modify the anti
trust laws to permit agreements,
with federal approval, on prices that
will guarantee protection against
sweatshop employers.
McAdO0 Urges Measure
THE whole plan could be carried
out under some such federal agency
as the war industries board. If the
farm relief law permits us to fix
the price of commodities, why
shouldn't the government fix
wages?"
Senator c. c. Dill Dem, WashD ),
chairman of the interstate COM
merce committee, said: Il don't
know what form such proposed
legislation will finally take, but I
strongly am in favor of the principle
of minimum wages. If it can be
worked out constitutionally I shall
be for it,"
Other congressional comment:
Senator William G.. McAdoo
dem, CALI think that a min
imum wage law would be very val
liable if it could be worked out
constitutionally.
Senator B. X Wheeler Dem,
Mont)-Im glad the minimum
wage plan is being considered SER
iously. I favor it.
Senator Frederick Van Mugs
dem, Ind)-Unless a minimum
wage provision is written into the
shorter week law, l doubt whether
the law will accomplish what its adj
vocates think it will accomplish l
fear that many employers, unless
restrained by law, will reduce wages
and even will try to avoid increas-
ing the number of employees.
Up in House Next Week
However, I think the weight of
legal authority upholds the view
that minimum wage is unconsti-
tutional. Nevertheless, shall be
glad to vote for such provision in
order definitely and succinctly to
present the question to the supreme
court so that we may have an I'M
equivocal decision on that subject"
Representative Loring Black
Dem., N. W: THE thirty-hour
week bill isn't bit of good with
out the minimum wage"
Present plans call for inclusion
of the administration minimum
wage plan in the short work week
bill which is to be reported to the
floor of the house next week.
If it is adopted there, the senate
will have chance to accept it as
1t is, or send it to conference for
some changes

EXPERTS PLAY IT 80

and he could then support it for a
possible slam.
South passed and West bid three
hearts. East can now show heart sup
port and a void in diamonds by max
ing bid Of four diamonds.
This Is all the information that
West needs and he goes to six hearts.
The Play
It is North's opening lead. The old
auction book would say lead the top
, Of your partner suit" and If you did
that with this hand the declarer
could easily make his contract. why
not analyze the hand in the follow
ing manner?
You cannot lead hearts-that Is
trump, and to lead trump is allow
| ing the declarer to bid six and call
| his lead. You cannot lead diamonds
because East has definitely showed
that he is void in diamonds with his
cue bid in diamonds.
That Sits it down to a club or
spade lead. Spades IS the only unbid
suit and you can rest assured that the
declarer, before bidding for his slam,
took into consideration the fact that
his opponent was most likely to open
the only unbid suit-therefore I would
definitely say that the declarer Is pre-
pared for spade opening.
! However, there is a possibility that
South may have a spade trick, but
that Is not going to be enough to de-
feat the small slam contract.
/ East has shown clubs, therefore
your best attack Is to lead through
dummy's strength, hoping to set up a
club for your partner and then, If ne
can get in with a spade, he can cash
the club trick. AS you see, the nine
of clubs is the only opening that Will
defeat the contract.
The declarer Is now bound to lose
a club and a spade. If spade were
opened the declarer could set up q
long spade in dummy on which tc
discard the losing club.
You will find the game much more
interesting If you will analyze hand
thoroughly before making your open
ing lead.

SAYS Government Will Assist in
Tree-PIanting or Dam
Construction

Bottineau, N. Oak, May 8.-(F-
Whether or not North Dakota will
share in the federal program Of re-
forestation, counties, municipalities,
clubs or other organizations may do
work similar to that proposed for the
conservation corps, such as dam
building and tree planting.
This work can be done with federal
relief funds through cooperation o!
the state emergency relief committee,
the state engineer and the state for
ester. it was announced here Saturday
by Francis E. Cobb, state forester and
president of the North Dakota schoo!
Of forestry located here.
The procedure announced by Cobn
follows:
The county, city or other organiza-
ton must decide what dams 1t wishes
to build or what areas 1t wishes to
plant trees on. In regard to building
dams, the organizations should get in
touch with R. E. Kennedy, Bismarck.
state engineer: on tree planting prof.
ects. Cobb should be contacted.
These officials will determine the
number of men required to do the
proposed work and will request the
state emergency relief committee to
have men assigned to the work by To-
cal relief boards.
Instead of cash being paid to the
workers, they will be given orders on
the relief committee for subsistence
and clothing only.
II trees are to be planted, says
Cobb. the county or sponsoring or
ganization must purchase the trees
and be responsible for transporting
them to the planting site. Arrange
nents also must be made for lodging
the workers while on the job. The
state forester will provide supervisor
for tree-planting work wherever suf-
ficient number Of trees warranting
such supervision Is to be planted.
1.-THE state forester says Cobb
shas obtained fair prices for large
quantities of tree stock from CONNER
cial nurseries in the state, so expense
will not be prohibitive. Any county
or organization wishing to undertake
such q tree planting project as outlin-
ed, should write at once to Cobb"
Immediate action is necessary if the
work Is to be done this year, as trees
may be planted successfully only
within the next two or three weeks,
he said.
