SUPREME COURT
 ON BARRING ARM
To Review Congress Right to Empower President
 to Stop Shipments
MI goHN A. RErCHnrANN

0x JOHN A. KEkCHN1ANN (UnIted Press StafR COFrespondent)
 Washington, oct. 1S-(U.P.)-The decision of the supreme court to review the power of congress to enl- power the president to ban arms shipments to warning nations; threw future neutrality legislation into doubt today.
 The court agreed to hear on ap- peal from a New York federal dis- trict courts ruling that the Chaco arms embargo act was uueonStitu- tional. Under this act the president enbargued arms shipments to Par aguay and Bolivia immediately after It's passage in 1884. The test suit followed indictment of the Curtis-W Wright Aeroplane and Motor Company, and others for al- legedIy conspiring to sell 15 machine guns to Bolivia in violation of the embargo. The lower court threw out the indictment on a demurrer.
 Neutrality Act Status Although not involved directly, the neutrality act passed at the last seg- sion of congress empowers the pfes- ident to prohibit shipments of eer- tain arms and munitions to belliger- tents. MT. Roosevelt invoked that provision in the Italo- Ethiopian war.
 Of equal importance in the formation of social legislation were decisions of the court in two cases affecting state minimum wage laws for women.
 In that s'no mans land" between state and federal powers, the court refused to, reconsider its 5 to 4 deei- sion of last spring that the New York minimum wage law for wor11er, is unconstitutional.
 It agreed, however, to hear argu- ments on an appeal from lowei court ruling upholding similar in Washington State. Illinois and Massachusetts, which joined New York in an appeal for feccnsidera- tion, are expected to come to the aid of Washington State in defend ing it's law.
 Must Decide Some Way
 By it's action the court faces the necessity of establishing the right either of the state or the federal government, in the interest of public health and morals, to establish min imum wages for women or allow ing the mo mans land" to remain.
 Other major cases the court de, cided to pass on included:
 A test of the Illinois fair trade practice act, similar to laws passed in other states prohibiting tht unauthorized sale of tradernarked ol established goods at less than ar agreed price.
 The power of congress to pass 6 retroactive 50 per cent tax on profits made in the silver market prior tt the passage of silver legislation.
 The power of congress to ban the interstate shipment of convict made goods into states where the sale O such goods is prohibited
 The validity of the railway labol act, similar to the Wagner Labol Disputes Act but confined to tn carriers.

of leading Americans in business and political circles.
 How strange it seemed to be walking down the Avenue and never seeing person she knew. Stranger stiIl not to talk to any onel Gail smiled as she thought of her roommate. How Rosemary Searles and she used to chatter, es- pecialIy during the last term when Lucille Travers and her set had practically ostracized her. Calls eyes grew dark as she thought of Lucille. Ever since Lucille had learn- ed that Gail was penniless. shed had no use for her, had informed her that a school like Miss Crans- toms was no place for her. She had even tried to turn Rosemary against her!
 Gail shrugged her shoulders. She'd be h0mesick for Merrywood Hall and her old friends if she didn't stop thinking about them. Passing an attractive looking tearoor1, she suddenly decided to have some ice cream. She could at least speak to the waitress when she gave her or der! She must speak to someone or die of loneliness right on the ave- nue! >s
 l The tearoorn was crowded, but at last she found a small table for two. A woman of uncertain age was seated at one side, and as Gail set- tied s.herseh and started to read the menu. the woman lit a cigaret. Hope you don't mind my smoking" she said, in rather man. nish tones, as Gail raised her eyes from the menu.
 Not at all" said Gail, while she turned to the waitress and gave her order. Suddenly she realized how long it had been since she had eaten.
 The talking and laughter at the tables around her fascinated Gail The wave of homesickness passed as she felt herself caught up ir the bright atmosphere of the place. New worlds to conquer lay before her, and as her eyei roved from table to table she felt that in this new life to which she had committed herself all sorts o1 interesting things might happen.
 "Are you interested in art?' boomed the woman across the table, for Gail had taken small sketch pad from her handbag and was making | tiny drawing of 8 clever piece of neckwear she hao just observed.
 | Gail smiled her assent. She di6 not feel particularly attracted tC the woman.
 "Well, if you haven't already seen the exhibit of modern paint ings in the Ferrara Gallery, il might repay you to take look around. But there, I don't suppose l youIl take the advice of a woman to whom you haven't been form. ally introduced" She rose quickly and stalked from the tearoom.
 Gail watched her go, a puzzled lok in her eyes. Then, lightly, tho waitress moved to her side. "Gues. you don't know her. She's fright fully rich women, but terribly Iqueer. She means all right, though Always gives wonderful tips!" 1 Wondering what strange adven. | ture she might meet next, Gai left the tearoom.

Nikolai Lenin, known throughout
the communist world as Krup-
skaya, is carrying on a vigorous
campaign for added schooling for
adult illiteratek
While absolute illiteracy in the
Soviet Union is shown by official
figures to have been reduced to
10 per cent, the widow of Lenin
holds that it is not enough to
teach adults to sign their names
and read simple words.
She wants istruction continued
until the pupils have the equiva-
lent of three years of schooling
so they may go ahead from that
point and educate themselves in
political and cultural subjects.
