set Won Cramm, realizing the hope leSsness of his task, appeared to abandon hope. He refused to run wide for Perry's shot, and the life went out his game.
 German OutcIassed
 The final set required ii minutes to play. While Won Cramm showed occasional flashes of brllliance, he played dislnterestedly most of the time, and merely returned those shots which landed within his reach. Perry, without the least show of mercy, kept his game at it's mad peak, and laid down a whitening barrage of shots. The champion was all over the court to bring off his torrent of winners. His volleys book ed to return, his kills were untOuch- able, and his forehand and back. hand drives went into the corners as though shot from Q rife.

 Wed Two Sisters
 As they grew older they desired to leave the stage and settle down. They married two sisters, Sallie and Adelaide Yates, on the same day and bought farms in Mount Airy, N. c.
 Eng and his wife had l2 children and Chang 10. All of the children were normal and healthy, the two first-born children appearing with in three days of each other. The Civil war wiped out the twins for tunes and they again went on tour under Barnum's management, mak- ing several trips through Europe.
 Died Almost Together
 Eng woke up one morning in 1874 and found Chang dead in bed be- side him. Eng died within half hour.
 Other famous Siamese twins in- cluded babies born in Baltimore in 1881. They were separated by a surgical operation soon after their birth. At the time a Johns Hop- kins hospital authority said that Siamese twins occur about once ir 5O,000 births.
 "In most cases an operation i' impossible" he said. "When 1t i' possible and one is performed the chances are 10 to 1 that the babies will die"

 After Lux was carried out, the aS- sembly continued to listen to the English translation of 0 speech by spanish Foreign Minister Augustc Barcia. He declared the league covenant does not need reforming but that e better manner of apply- ing 1t should be found.
 Meanwhile Van zeeland read the letters found in Lux'a pockets. He informed the assembly that Luxs act appeared to have no political significance. He then asked that the assembly continue It's work.
 Quillermo Do Blanck of Cubal tho next speaker, supported Argen- tina's demand for Q statement af- firming that the league would not recognize territorial gains achieved by force.
 such 6 principle is the spiritual heritage of the whole American continent" he said.
 Assembly Was Stunned
 The assembly YVES stunned when Lux fired. Delegates jumped to their feet and photographers rushed to his side. The shot rang out while Dr. Armindo Monteiro, Portuguese foreign minister, was supporting suspension of sanctions penalizing Italy for her invasion of Ethiopia.
 "Their continuation would be use- less. Their aggravation would mean measures for war;"
 Earlier the assembly had dodged two resolutions presented by Em- peror Halle SelaSsie providing for league refusal to recognize Italy's conquest of Ethiopia and 0 huge in- ternational loan to help him to re- gain his throne. It empowered its steering committee to draft Q reso- lution lifting sanctions, dealing with non-recognition in general terms and postponing league reform until the September assembly.

 Prices Not Coed
 At the same time many employers of domestics in Waterbury are known to be paying as low as @ and SB weekly to tl.eir help and to be demanding as many as fifteen hours work daily.
 The field work in the survey made by the labor department was carried otu by Miss Virginia Butterworth and was centercd in Hartford, Wat erbury and Litchfcld. She listed these conclusions.
 Conclusions
 I--Working hours In household employment are considerably longer than in other occupations. The aver- ago day work week for full time eYfl- ployes was 66 hours at Hartford, 0l ct Waterbury and 70 ct Litch1eld. The l0-hour day was standard.
 2-Weekly wages for full time res. ident employees compared favorably with those in other occupations. The average weekly wage ct Hartford was So.0e; at Waterbury, e0.A2 and at Litchfield, $i4.06.
 S-Weekly wages for full-tilne non- resident employees were considerably lower than thnse received by resi- dents and those prevailing in other occupations. Hourly wages, even of the highest paid employees, were "ex- tremely low"
 GA comparison Of the standard work week of 60 to 70 hours with the average weekly wage showed that the best paid group 0: domestics, the residents, received the equivalent of about 26 to 32 cents an hour. For non-residents, approximately II to l2 cents an hour was the prevailing rate.)
 EThere was c relatively high turnover in household employment Excluding personality differences, the major cause appeared to be Q lack of recognized standards of training in housework on one hand, and of standards of working condi- tons on the other.

 Chairman Jim FarleyOf the dem- ocratic national committee and Chairman John Hamilton of the re- publican national committee, aren't likely to duplicate these stunts in America. It took Q 30-year.old Bel- glan politician named Leon Degrelle to conceive them. And in twelve short months he has shaken Belgian political parties to their founda- tons, frightened the old-llne poli- ticians and given the jltters to lot of big business men who used to have the inside track to cabinets.
 Belgium is one of those European countries where no one political party ever has Q majority. The re- suit is that every cabinet Is formed by . coalition of parties. Tn the order named, the strength of the leading parties used to be Catholic, socialist and liberal. Cabinets were composed of representatives of the three.

 Two More Unions
 Tn his battle for industrial union- ization, Lewis enlisted the support of two new unions-the United Rub- Der Workers of America and the United Automobile Workers oi America-and promised them 0. I o. aid in organization campaigns they already are waging in their in- dustries. In enlisting two afflliates of the American Federation of La Dor under his 0. I.

 He virtually abandoned hopes oi an amalgamation of his forces with the 100000 A. F. of l.. members remaining loyal to Green for Q uni ted labor front in the steel drive when he indicated rejection oi Greens summons" to @ confer ence.
 Green Sends Invitation
 Green invited and asked Lewis and other c. I. O. leaders to meet ing of the A. F. of l.. executive coun cil early next week. While adding the 320,000 rubber and automobile workers to those the c. I. O. pro- poses to organize into industrial unions, it was believed the unioniz- ation campaign would be concen- trated immediately upon the Steel industry. Department of Labor ofii- cials, meanwhile, watched appre- hensively the increasingly ominous situation in the steel industry. Sec- retary of Labor Frances Perkins told mill owners not to become nervous or panicky" or to do any thing foolish"
 Not Necessary to Strike

T did not feel that I could take the chance of operating immediate ly since the baby had taken turn fog the worse during the night and since there was no evidence of de- terioration which we had anticipated would set in today.
 "The baby probably never would have become strong enough for an operation until deterioration had endangered her life, although she did about as well as any baby of her size. Infection from deterioration probably would have killed her, any way.
 Every Means Taken
 "Every known scientific means at our command was resorted to dur ing the night in our efforts to save the baby" the 3l year old Harvard Medical school graduate continued.
 "She was kept continuously in a special room whose temperature was carefully maintained at body heat. Special formula diets designed for such tiny infants failed to sustain her.
 "When she grew worse, we in- jected concentrated nourishment through the skin, but without fa- vorable result"
 Mother Doing We'll
 Mary'S mother, for whom she was named, remained in satisfactory condition at home today. Unaware that she had given birth to Siamese twins, she was told by relatives that news and camera men had fiocked to the house because her child was an unusually small incubator baby.
 Had the Fiorenza infants lived they would have been the second set of 6lamese twin sisters in Massa- chusetts, Mary and Margaret Gibb of Holyoke having observed their 24th birthday anniversary last May. The Gibb sisters, on vaudeville tour, were reported in North Da- kota today.
 Dr. John B. Vernaglia, a former associate of Dr. Philomen E. Trues- dale. famed diaphragmatic hernia surgeon of Fall River, who delivered the Siamese twins Wednesday at 6:30 a. m. and who had planned to perform the severance operation, was at the bedside when death came.
 Baptized at Birth
 The twins. baptized Mary and Carina immediately after they were born to Mrs. Diego lDick) Fiorenza of Everett. were linked at the back of the head. creating the appear ance of the mythological two-faced Janus.
 Surgeons had intended t0 delay the operation as long as possible so Mary. the surviving twin, might gain strength for the ordeal. Medi- cal authorities recalled no case in which Q successful operation had been performed to separate living and dead siamese twins.
 Other 6iamese Twins
 The most famous pair of glamese twins in history were Chang and Eng. publieized and displayed by the circus manager. P. T. Barnum, for many years in the 10th century. The boys. of Chinese extraction, were born in 1911 in Ucklong. about co miles from Bangkok, Slam. The captain of an American ship saw them. realized their drawing power ca euFi0sitles and brought them to 4he United States.
 They were landed in New York Mlay and put on exhibition almost at once. They applied for naatwaa- lzatio2 papers and were told they wes'd baye to have a surname. A

CaIled ''Peacock" bY Foes

The blonde, blue.eyed Degrelle happens to have Q wife and young child whom he adores, but that did not keep Belgian maidenS from adoring him. Hence the old-llnG politicians made fun of him. They dubbed him "The Strutting Pea- cock" They predicted he would lose some of his tail feathers when the election was held. It annoyed them when they saw in every pasture along the railways fat contented COWS, on the heaving Hanks of each of whom was painted the picture of 0 broom and the word "Rex." They called him an irnitator of Hit- Ter and the head of c would-be NaSl movement.
 Degerelle denied this. But like Hitler in his early campaigns, he made effective use of the discon- tent of the mass of the people and the financial scandals in which old- line politicians had been involved Also he had some pap for every body in his speeches. He said ne would clear the temple of the money-changers. He would afford tax relief to the middle classes. He would help the small tradesmen by suppressing unfair competition. He tossed a sop to the Flemish portion of the Belgian nation by promising them full use of their language and Q large amount of local autonomy To the workers, he said he would wipe out the slums and provide them with decent homes. He would also protect their wages. He would help the peasant farmers by favor ing credits to enable them to get on with the job.
 Surprised Politicians
 The election for the Chamber of Deputies was duly held. Degrelle'S new party won the surprising num- ber of 2l seats out of Q possible 202 and also 6 considerable number later in the senate. Most of his gains were at the expense of his old party, the Catholic, which fell from leading party in the state to second place. The Socialists now have 70 seats to @ for the Catholics.
 The blonde play-boy, the strutting peacock, was now taken so seriously that his youthful king sent for him and had long conference with him. Degrelle says the battle is just starting. Like Hitler, he says he wants full power and will go it.. The old-time party leaders no longer sheer at him. They plainly fear him now. Especially, as in the case of Hitler, some wealthy indus trialists are putting up the neces- sary money with which to maintain his rapidly growing organization.
