BEHIND EUROPEAN NATIONS.
U. s. Paid Vacations In Industry Has
Shown Spread.

NEW YORK, August GA re-
cent spread of paid vacations for
workers in steel and other industries
was cited in financial circles today in
comment on statement by Frances
Perkins, Secretary of Labor, at Paris
that they were almost unknown" for
wage earners in American industry.
Students of labor relations agreed
the United States was behind some
European countries in extending va
cation privileges to wage workers COM
parable with those granted to white
collar employees and executives.
However, they noted evidence of a
resumption Of postwar movement
in this country toward paid vacations
for industrial workers after a depres-
sion interruption.
The major steel companies have
joined the movement, most of them
this year, and a survey by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
showed many outstanding corporations
with various types of paid vacation
plans for wage earners.
Among the leading corporations
cited were International Harvester,
E. I. du Pont de Nemours, Standard
Oil of New Jersey, Proctor g. Gamble
and American Tobacco.

cove near Panama City.
A number of Florida communities
found the damage relatively light in
view Of the hurricanes force. The
State road department estimated road
damage at $4,000 to SIS, 900.
Some frame dwellings were leveled,
but their occupants had sought safe
places. Power and communications
lines were carried away. and emer-
gency crews worked through the night
to restore them.
Hundreds OF trees were uprooted in
Florida and Alabama, and crops were
damaged. Two barges loaded with
logs were dashed against a bridge
near West Bay. Fla, and sank. The
bridge was reported unserviceable.
Waterfront Property Damaged.
Small boats were sunk or blown
ashore at many places. Piers and
other waterfront property were dam
aged.
Several thousand persons who aban-
AOAICa t4ACh bCdN4A dO
between Apalachicola and Pensacola
returned to them today.
The Red Cross made no estimates
Of the total damage, but its officials
said the property toll was remarkably
small, under the circumstances. Ade-
quate warnings given in advance of
the storm apparently prevented any
serious injuries or fatalities ashore.
The dying storm spread fanwise
over Southern Alabama, bringing sub
gale winds and near cloudbursts over
a wide area. Chief damage was to
corn crops, although communication
services were crippled. some small
buildings damaged and many trees
blown down. No injuries were re-
ported.

KENTUCKY VOTERS
GET EARLY COUNT
Primary Returns to Be Can.
VasSed Under New Tab
uIation Plan.
b. the Associated Press.

% tne Associated PreSS.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August 1.-The
long wait before counting of election
ballots begins, is thing Of the past
In Kentucky.
For the first time in six years the
Blue Grass voters will begin getting
returns of their primary today few
hours after the polls close this after
noon instead of having to wait until
the first week day following the
primary for tabulations to commence.
Because counting stops at midnight
tonight and will not be resumed until
Monday, 1t is not believed likely a
definite trend of the races will be
determined until late Monday.
Change in November.
In the November general election,
counting will start shortly after the
polls close instead of the next day
as has formally been the case.
Under Kentucky's honest election
law" ballots are counted in the court
houses instead of at the precinct
voting places. Ballot boxes in each
county are secured with three locks
and the keys held by the sheriff and
one representative of each the Re-
publican and Democratic parties.
The major primary contest is the
battle for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator. The in
cumbent, M. M Logan, is opposed by
j. c. W. Jeckham, who has support Of
the State administration, and John
Young Brown, former Congress men,
Der.
Administration Attacked.
Both Logan and Brown have at
tackled Gov. A. B. Chandler and his
administration, centering their criti-
cism on j. Dan Talbot State finance
commissioner; the new State luxury"
taxes and the old-age pension set-up.
All nine United States Represent
atives are seeking denomination. Only
John M. Robsion, Kentucky's lone Re-
publican Representative, is without
opposition. Nominees for several State
and county Offices also will be selected.
A comparison of strength Of po-
litlcal parties is expected TO be dis
closed when voters register their party
aflliation today under the new State
wide registration act.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, August
1.-Plans are already under way here
for the annual renewal Of the ancient
dog mart, which last year attracted
5000 persons to this historic city.
The event will be held in October.
The mart was originated in Fred
ericksburg in 1898, when the Indians
and citizens met on neutral ground
and exchanged dogs for hunting and
breeding purposes. The event was held
every year from 1893 to ITS, when
it was discontinued due to feeling
which had risen between the Indians
and the whites.
In 1927 the custom was revived by
the Chamber Of Commerce. Approx
imately 375 dogs were entered last
year.

BY the Associated Press.
TAMPA, Fla, August 1.-Deputy
Sheriff L. M. Hatton asserted today
that Clarence L. Sullivan, 42-year-old
hackwoods farmer, mutilated himself
In an apparent fit of self-pity.
Sullivan, father of four, was placed
under treatment for a tubercular con-
dition, which, officers said, gave rise
to the dependency that prompted the
act. Deputy Hatton said no charges
would be filed in the case.
DR.. Henry B. Jensen, assistant
county physician, said Sullivan ad-
mitted he partly emasculated himself
with a knife because something Just
kept a-tellin' me to do it."
Sullivan was found lying on a high
way and brought to hospital. Cues
tio1iing at first failed to shake his story
that three women and two men In q
big automobile robbed him, "stomped"
on him and mutilated him. Later he
confessed, officers said.

But the glass spelt Illustration for

In the evening there was nothing

that event, the sparrow probably
found employment elsewhere"

"PULL-CUTS."
Y you may know. or maybe you
" don't, that there are really
very few rescues in Washing
u ton swimming pools.
That is not because those who use
the pools are such good swimmers
they never get into trouble, but rather
that the life guards keep such close
watch that nothing serious ever hap
pens.
The result Is that before any pa
irons distress becomes so acute that
he requires rescuing. he is pulled
out and the guards refer to it as a
'pull-out" case. Technically, it is a
rescue and it is so listed, but in the
vernacular of the guards it is nothing
of the kind.
incidentally, speaking of life guards,
Elmer Hipsley has been pulling per-
sons in distress out of the Mckinley
pool for seven consecutive years. OF
the seven guards on duty there, five
men and two women, he is the veteran
of the staff.
