HOLLYWOOD, April 1 UN.sJ.
Lupe Velez and Johnny Weissmul-
Ter have separated again-but this
time it's friendly separation"
And that fact today led friends
Of the couple to fear it may be
the permanent one.
The tempestuous Mexican actress
and her swimming champion
Tarzan spouse have had many a
public fight. followed by separa-
lions which definitely were not
friendly. These always have been
patched up. Miss Velez said today:
when we fought, things were
all right. Now we don't fight
any mOre-that's the trouble"
The actress remains in their
Beverly Hills home. WeiSsmuller,
she says, has taken residence in
a Hollywood club, and added:
Johnny and I have agreed
to a friendly SeparatiOn-which
may or may not be permanent.
/ am not suing for divorce and
neither is he, at least not at
present"

COAL PEACE

NEW YORK, April G.N.SJ.
A prominent Eastern coal operator
today predicted that a settlement
in the wage conferences with the
United Mine workers would be
reached this afternoon.
Asking that his name be with
held, the operator took issue with
a statement Of John l.. Lewis,
union head, that the operators had
rejected the report of their own
subcommittee last night as the
midnight deadline. ending the cur
rent contract, was reached with
no agreement for the future. The
operator said:
I'VE merely asked for addi-
tiOnal time to consider 1t (the
repOrt)."
The operators, according to
Lewis, have been given until mid
night tonight to ratify the agree
ment. Otherwise, he threatend, a
complete Stoppage would be ef-
fected tomorrow in the nations
bituminous coal industry.
When a session of the joint
negotiating committee broke up,
Lewis fatty refused to consider an
extension of the present contract.
This is a very unusual Situa-
ton. There has never been an
occasion where the operators
have rejected the report Of their
own subcommittee"
Indicating that they were none
too sure of an agreement today,

PWA FUND HIT
BY PRESIDENT
International News Service

MOVIE SSENICS
President RooS svelt told a group
of congressman today he had no
objection to extension of Public
Works Administration for another
two years from June 80, but he
served notice he would object TO
current efforts to appropriate an
additional 100000,
The group, headed by Repre-
sentative Alfred Better CD Of
New York, constituting an unoffi-
cial PWA committee, called at the
White House to plead for almost
5000 projects which have already
been approved by PWA and which
would call for grants of $398,000,-
600 and loans Of $110.000.000.
There is $155,000,000 available
and the President indicated he
did not wish to spend more than
this on the heavier building prof.
ects.
The Congressman particularly
pointed out to Mr.. Roosevelt that
a number of municipalities had
held bond elections on the
strength of PWA approval. The
President suggested that these
projects be given priority to the
money now available.
Better has introduced a bill to
extend PWA and to appropriate
$500 ,000, 900. Whether the PWA
advocates will fight for further APP
preparations in the face of presi.
dental opposition remained undiS-
closed.

Qht Promised in Senate on New DC. Tax Burdens.
d.: e.. Wage
Act Called
Invalid

Advance informal opinion from
the Department Of Justice makes
the Districts minimum-wage law
for women invalid.
II this "curbstone opinion" pre-.
walls and Attorney General Cum
mings gives the same view to Presi.
dent Roosevelt, the whole mini
mum-wage situation would have to
be reopened by Congress, with the
probability that it would not be
possible to get a minimum-wage
law through this Congress.
Although Corporation Counsel
Elwood Seal has expressed the in.
formal opinion that the Districts
minimum-wage law is now opera.
tive, he is not joined with other
attorneys in that opinion.
Request Is Delayed
President Roosevelt's request for
an official opinion on the subject
had not left the White House
this morning at the time the Presi-
dent arrived at his office. Al
though the President announced
he would ask the Attorney Gen
eral for such an opinion, the pres
sure Of official and social duties
IN the past two days has prevented
the request from leaving the White
House.
However, the wide public inter
est on the subject has reached
the Department Of Justice unoffi-
cially and it is . matter of gen.
eral discussion hy attorneys there.
1t is believed there that the law
will have to be rewritten and re-
enacted by Congress.
Views of Attorneys
Attorneys who hold this view
say that the Supreme Court opin-
ion affected the Washington State
minimum-wage law and that the
mere reference to the Adkins case,
which is the District case involv-
ing minimum wages, is not enough
to put the law back on it's feet.
It is felt among Administration
leaders that, if the law is to be
rewritten, the President will insist
on including provisions for min
imum wages for men as well as
women.

DETROIT, April / U.NS0-A
gift OF approximately $12.500, 900
to the Kresge Foundation by s. S.
Kresge, dime-Store magnate, was
revealed here today by Paul w.
VOORHEES,, president of the founda-
ton.
The gift, It was said, comprised
$50, 900 shares of stock in the s. S.
Kresge Company, of which Kresge
is chairman of the board.
It was the second largest gift to
the foundation made by KreSge
since he formed the charitable or
ganization in 1924. His previous
large gift was 100000 shares of
stock in 1925, which then had a
market value of between $22, 000,-
900 and $23, 100000.
The KreSge Foundation was es-
tablished to support charitable or
CARNATIONS and religious groups,
principally child welfare. One of
the chief beneficiaries has been
the Methodist Children's village,

thusiastic throng of 10000 race

And if natures magic hand has

Bowie has undergone a face-lift-

weather some fine day. Judging by your verbosity on such subjects as vitamins and colds you're not ex- actly a mine of informatoin about snoring.
 The main fault with my answer, l infer, is that it might cost sorne- thing to follow the suggestions given. Long ago found that Q good many readers are like the beautiful Miss Philadelphia-you can't give her a book as birthday gift be- cause she has book. I never ad- wise any one to consult a physician unless 1t is some barbarain who contrives to telephone me about his hypothetical sick friend. Instead of laying myself open to the witty re- joinder Pardon, thought you were one" I simply mention apparent reasons why 1t might be well to have medical examination or advice, even though the correspondent may have chatted with a physician as recently as 1924.
 There are several styles or degrees of snoring, from the soft rhythmic sough of the physically it individual who has vite, to the alarming ster- tor of the apoplectic.
 Snoring is caused chiefly by the vibration or Tapping of the soft pal ate in the varying currents of air entering partly through the mouth, partly through the nasal passage. As any one may readily prove, however, snoring may occur even if the mouth is kept closed and without any abnormality in tn enasal pas sages.
 So the correction of snoring in- wolves much more than the correc- tion of mouth breathing. The first factor to be investigated, however, is the condition of the nasal pas- sages, and of course, this can be done only by means of head-lamp and speculum, simple apparatus used by any doctor who is worth his salt. Local treatment, medical or surgical, may be necessary when there is thickening of turbinate, polypus or simple chronic rhinitiS with congestion or boggy swelling obstructnig nasal breathing. Adenoid or tonsil enlargement may require hygienic, medical or surgical treat- ment.
 During sleep there is deep relax ation. Any moderate or low grade chronic trouble in the mucous mem brane attended with engorgemerat or congestion becomes more prC- nounced during sleep. Likewise any general health deficiency whcih is accompanied by poor tone or fiab- biness may be g factor of snoring. That's why I told the Scot general overhauling may be needed,
 Trouble with many snorers is they smoke, eat, sit and sleep too much.
