SOCIAL DRINKING ISCONDEMNEDBY
 W. 6. l. U. LEADER
Mrs. Weiss-Smith, National President of Union, Ar
 rives in Juneau

Bringing the scientific answers of W.C.T.U. research to cope with the extent of Alaska's alleged liquor consumption, Mrs. Ida B. Weiss Smith, National President of the w Woma ans Christian Temperance Union, arrived in Juneau this afternoon aboard the Princess Char lotte, ostensibly here on vacation, but actually already concerned with temperance problems of the Terri tory.
 Greeted at the dock by group of leaders from the local w. c. T. U. chapter, Mrs. Weiss-Smith stop ped for a few moments on the dock to speak of liquor conditions, before proceeding with the many engagements which are to keep her busy until the Charlotte sails at midnight.
 Cocktail Hour
 "In the cocktail hour lies the greatest danger of modern drink ing" Mrs. Weiss Smith stated. "So- cial drinking offers challenge to Christians the world over, and the w. c. T. U. is taking firm stand upon the need for education of youth against the dire menace of alcoholism"
 Stressing the point that it is the drinking man, not the drunk ard" who is endangering the safety of citizens today, Mrs. Weiss-Smith emphasized the fact that while a drunkard is incapacitated, drink ing man attempts to continue in his regular routine. His eyesight is impaired; his reaction time is materially increased, his ego is inflated, yet he will attempt to drive a car through speeding traf- fic."
 Teach Children Christians must unite in cam paign to educate youth on the qualities of alcohol, she continued. We must teach our children the harmful, tragic physical results from consuming liquor. On all hands, youth s being exploited tempted into the sins of drinking Only early education can steer young people against the increasing popularity of moderate, social drinking"
 In line with the w. c. T. U. education program, the organiza- tion has just completed a sound motion picture film which pres ents a scientific approach to the alcoholism problem. Showing several of the experiments of Dr. Walter Miles of Yale University, the film exhibits direct correlation of traf- fic accidents with the cocktail hours of to 2 o'clock, and the evening amustment hours of II to | 1 o'clock.

Wage-Hour Act Is
To Pass Quickly
Continued from Page One.)

Presidents wage and hour bill, which
has the effect of restoring most of
the wage and hour provisions of the
old MIRA" Commissioner Fletcher
said. 1.-THE bill as it now stands will
also prohibit the working of children
under Is years of age in industry, es-
pecially in textile mills. This will not
affect us here in North Carolina. since
for years our State child labor law
has prohibited the employment of chill
dren under 16 years except in special
cases, and then only upon certifica-
ton by the State Department of Labor
and the county welfare officer, while
the new 1887 law prohibits the regu-
lar employment in industry of chill
dren under IS years of age, unless APP
proved and certified by the Depart
ment of Labor.
"But this child labor prohibition in
the new Federal labor bill will have
the effect of bringing all the other
southern states into line with North
Carolina Most of the other states
in the southeast have permitted the
employment of children under 16
years of age in textile mills and in in
dustry generally. If the Presidents
bill passes, they will be forced to fall
in line"
The new bill is a great improve
ment over the old MIRA, Fletcher
thinks, in that it avoids many of the
mistakes of the MIRA but preserves
it's best features Another advantage
is that it will be administered by a
board feither three or five members,
to be appointed by the President, in
stead of by one man, Fletcher pointed
