N. R. A. SAYS SHORT
WEEK IS FAVORED.
Survey Reports Congress
Will Support Cut in
Working Hours.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
An N. r. A. survey was reported
today to show a commanding congress
SIGNAL sentiment in favor OF shorter
hours In industry.
The survey led to speculation that
the administration would seek definite
legislation to carry out its program
for a 10 per cent reduction In hours
with unreduced pay If industrial re-
sistance should become too great. II
the plan were used the present Con-
merry 30-hour bill probably would be
amended to conform to the program.
Hugh S. johnson, N r. A. adminis-
traitor, was reported to believe, how
ever, that such q step would not be
necessary.
Conferences with two represent
atiye code committees will be re-
sumed tomorrow or the next day to
determine finally If industry will go
along on a voluntary basis. Commit
tee members have been determining
over the week end the sentiment of
their industries.
Two Assent.
At least two industries have assented
to the program for shorter hours as a
means Of providing more jobs. Aides
of johnson contend that more will
follow II assurance is given that code
price control devices will not be dis
turbed
Opinion within N. r. A. Is divided
upon whether these devices should
remain unchanged Observers look for
lively fight before the question is
settled.
A report on open price associations,
now being completed by Division Ad-
ministrators Arthur d. Whiteside and
w. A. Hartman, favors their con-
tinuance without restriction. Leon
Henderson, chief Of the economic
division Of N. r. A., insists the re-
sultGnt price fixing will destroy any
economic stability industry may attain.
Should his views prevail. and Hen
derson himself is doubtful. voluntary
hour shortening on a wide front
would prove hard to get. some off,
cials believe.
Wants Volunteers.
Johnson's chief objection to reduc-
ing hours through legislation is that
it would explode his fundamental con-
ception Of N. R. A. as an opportunity
which industry would gladly use to
regulate itself in the public interest.
Only the administration insistence
that more of the unemployed must get
of the public rolls quickly would force
such action.
A chief handicap to speedy action
in representative Code Committees has
been the lack OF organization in many
Of the code groups. George Sloan,
committee chairman and head of the
cotton textile code authority. one of
the most closely knit units under N.
r. A., has promised johnson to help
the more dislocated groups to estab-
lish the desires of the majorit1es and
evolve plans for action.
Another committee probab bly, will be
created this week to represent the
trades and services, ranging from fill
ing stations to grocery stores, and also
to cover a miscellany of establishments
not covered by any code. Less hour
shortening is believed possible in this
group at this time, but their assist
ance is needed for revision of code
trade practices.

Text Of Statement,

The text Of Mr.. Taliaferro's state
ment, in full, follows:
There has lately been so much
emphasis upon several cases of de-

emergency relief and no emphasis
at all upon the thousands of cases
handled promptly and efficiently by

Columbia since August l, 1882. that
the public is apt to be misled into
a feeling of general criticism. A
brief review of the situation. in
tended neither as criticism of critics
nor an apology for the constituted
authorities having to do with emer-
genry relief, may produce a better
perspective.
Public funds for emergency re-
lief were first available in the Dis
trict July /, 1882, and the duty of
administering an initial appropria-
ton of $350000 for the fiscal year
was placed upon the Board of Pub
lie Welfare. An emergency relief
committee OF five of the nine men,
DerS OF the BOARD was appointed and
it held meetings almost weekly for
many months. The first duty of the
committee was to select a supervisor
of emergency relief. and Leroy A.

the Hall of Science as far as the eye could see
these thousands of boys and girls were moving
north and south so close together that the streets
themselves seemed to be moving So steady was
the stream Of young visitors across the bridges
over the lagoon that solid lines of policemen were
stretched across the approaches to prevent the
weight OF too many from endangerlng the struc
lures.
Over on the Enchanted Island, the part OF the
fair most popular with Young America, the con-
gestion became so great that 1t necessary

The eager youngsters massed ten deep around
some Of the amusement centers and from Is to
80 deep around others. Some OF them spent most
OF their day standing In line waiting for
chance to ride the ferris wheel, or roller
coaster or slide down synthetic mountain.
But IL many OF them were intent upon such
pleasures, there were thousands OF others who
damned the exhibit buildings until every aisle
was packed sodly with slow-moving throng.
1t was In some OF these buildings that other
things besides records were broken. In justice
to Young America, however, 1t must be stated
that officials In charge of the Hall OF Science,
one OF the principal points Of attraction say
that the crowd there was mainly an orderly one
and more easily handled than an adult crowd of
the same size.
But sightseeing wasn't their only activity.
There was the matter OF eating and drinking to
be taken care Of. Early In the day Ii was
nounced that 125,000 bottles OF milk would be
distributed free. 1t was. and 1t vanished like a
light summer shower on the face OF the Sahara
desert. In the struggles around the booths where
1t was distributed some of the bottles were brok-
and this caused the only serious Injuries Of
the day--a few minor cuts from the shattered
bottles
So the milk disappeared las did hundreds of
thousands OF hot dog and hamburger sandwiches

BY the middle of the afternoon the surging

thin trickle. All over the grounds tired young

CLIMATE ONE OF
GREAT FACTORS

The region around the North sea
has the worlds best climate for hui
man health and activity, according
to DR.. Ellsworth Huntington, re-
search associate In geography at
Yale university.
He gives the next best rating TO
the northeastern United States, par
tieularly that part on the coast, To
the Pacific coast around Puget sound
and in very narrow coastal strip
southwark, and to New Zealand.

night temperature of about "a de-

we are unconscious of 1t, the birth
rate shows that reproduction takes
place more rapidly ut this tempera-

mental activity Is greatest when the
outdoor temperature averages much

Doctor Huntington points out that
temperature Is not the only factor
in producing the best climate.

Modern Youth All Right

Is the younger generation dumber
than Its predecessor? Are fathers
and mothers right who harangue
their sons and daughters about how
much smarter papa and mamma
used to be In school or college?
Harvard scientists conducted an Is
months research on the subject, and
the results were reported In the
American Magazine. The average
son Is better man than his father.
and the average daughter has the
edge on mother.
The facts have been gathered from
records at Harvard which go back to
1870. For data on mothers and
daughters. similar records came from
four leading women's colleges.
The assembled material shows that
the average American boy or girl Is
more intelligent, taller. heavier and
healthier than was his father or her
mother, at the same age.

He believes that the optlmum In

from jumping into pools and fountains In yarl-
GUS stages OF dress and undress.
Refreshed by such interludes they were off
again to join the mob still milling everywhere
through the grounds as individuals, In couples,
In groups chaperoned by harassed teachers try
Ing In vain TO keep track of their charges. One
teacher solved the problem by using lengths OF
string to tie 16 of them together, wrist to wrist.

tralled along behind her like the tail Of kite

to describe the resulting situation.
She didn't lose any Of her little flock. however,
but there were plenty OF ''lost children that day
i 400 OF them to be exact, fourteen hundred
who became separated from parents or teachers
or companions. But thanks to clearing house
maintained by the Travellers Aid society all of
the lost were found eventually. Urged by the
public address system to seek their stray charges
at the socIetys headquarters, anxious parents
and teachers stood In line for hours until police
men or Fair attendants pushed their way through
the crowd with their weeping charges. Older
children who knew where they lived were given
carfare and sent home. Younger ones were COM
forted by the young women In charge or the
Clearing house, and an harassed staff of. over
worked volunteer assistants.
BY the time evening came and the thousands
