LANSING, Mich, April l7.-Gov
Frank Murphy put finishing touches
today on a four-point program to in
sure the industrial peace in Michigan
which he has sought during the first
three and one-half months OF his
strike-beset administration.
Murphy. who already has enunciated
q policy that labor must organize
or be crushed" limited his program
would be ready for legislative action
within . week.
Points in Program.
It will provide, he said:
l. A labor relations act (which Is
vital If we are to avoid industrial con-
flict."
2. A schedule Of minimum wages.
3. Compensation for occupational
diseases.
4. A factory inspection law to elimi-
nate bad working conditions for labor
and, among other things, control the
speed-up Of the assembly line auto
mobile factories.
AS I explain 1t to you next week, -
Murphy promised newspaper reporters
assembled in press conference, YOU
will find 1t is carefully conceived
program" He declined to disclose
details at this time.
The Governor indicated he would
use the weapon of public opinion as
one means Of enforcing compliance,
especially in regard to the bill which
will provide for inspection of factories.
Work Conditions Inspected.
Michigan" he said, lis one of the
two or three States In the Union now
providing facilities for inspection of
It's laborers' working conditions. A
careful program of legislation can get
1t to the top"
He said 1t would be designed to
eliminate such conditions as those
responsible for explosions. accidents
IN which men are manned or killed,
and those which have caused in
dustrial discomfort.
We will see that there is a report
to the public concerning such mat
ters," The Governor said "and look
to public opinion to help us to correct
them"
Gov. Murphy already has announced
that his wage-and-h labor program
would be patterned in large extent
after the terms Of the Wagner act.
He has contended the Wagner act,
had the Supreme Court upheld it
earlier, might have prevented the far
flung automobile strikes that plagued
his administration.

matter. As it is, every Representative
Is, or at least he should be, taking
some interest In what goes on there.
washington should be the ideal
community of America, and the way
TO DO it is to have the people back
In the States feel that they have
IN interest there" he added.
Following the speech by Represent
tative Voorhis, Wilbur S. Finch, chair
man OF recently organized citizens
committee to study various plans of
local government and representation,
outlined the history of the voting
privilege, and declared that There
was no intention on the part Of the
trainers Of the Constitution or the
Federal officials who first sat hese
to disfranchise the District"
Finch explained the so-called Bur-
roughs plan Of local government, of
which he Is one of the authors, and
which calls for a Federal area under
the exclusive Jurisdiction of Congress,
a city council elected by the people,
city manager appointed by the
President OF the United States, and
heads of departments appointed by
the city manager, with the consent
OF the city council.

fiscal year draws to a close must be
made up by deficiency appropriations.
For some time the President has
been pulling at his hair while poring
over figures with Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau and Daniel Bell,
acting director of the budget. The
first headache came when he was ad-
vised that the anticipated revenues
had fallen considerably below what
was counted on earlier in the year.
To make matters worse, the expenses
have grown beyond expectations.
With the hope Of helping matters,
even just trif1e, the President re-
Gently sent out notice to the depart
ment and various agency heads ad-
vising them Of this unhappy situation
and urging that they save money
wherever possible.
In addition to this the social Sc
curity law has been disappointing in
the matter of producing revenue and
now the administration is faced with
injunctions following the decision Of
Federal court last week holding the
law unconstitutional.

PEACE OATH OMITTED
New York School Heads Told Pro-
nouncements Too Sweeping.

NEW YORK, April II (R.-The
Board Of School Superintendants of
New York City instructed all prin-
cipals today that anti-war oaths-
particularly the so-called Oxford
oath" against bearing arms-must not
be administered to public school chill
dren on Peace day." April %.
The board felt, its announcement
said. that such pronouncements were
far too sweeping" for school children.
The announcement said student par
ticipation in peace demonstrations
outside school buildings might result
in withholding of diplomas.

each month. The operating ex-
penses mean not hospital blllS,
but electricity, gas, telephone. and
laundry. Transportation was $40
each week. Or when figured in
another way, it is weekly street
car pass each week, and $50 for
vacation transportation.
COMPARISONS
Recreation was only 500 each
year. This would include shows,
concerts, dances and books.
Saving was quite high. The Ii
per cent represents 1924 each year.
Part of this went into the retire
ment fund, about 312 for life in
surance, and the rest for other
types of investments.
Furniture is $45 each year. This
also represents kitchen equipment.
For manicures, permanents, and
fingerwaves, also haircutS, there
is $45 each year.
For charity goes $l8. Gifts
amount to twice the sum spent for
charity.
This makes a most interesting
comparison. How does your family
budget compare to this study?
Would be glad to have your COM
ments and letters on this i'm
portant problem of spending
wisely. Address letters to Miss Jean
Green, Food Editor of The Wash

family.
Now, the younger daughter Of
the Smith family is going to be
married and they have sent an
invitation to the mother and
daughter of the Brown family.
OF course, this leaves out the son.
"The son Is a few years older
than the daughter, but they have
the same friends, and he also
knows these Smith girls.
"The question is, was the son
of the Brown family sighted? In
spite of the fact that this Is to
be a wedding to be followed by a
supper, and they are no doubt
trying to keep the guests down
to a minimum, the mother of the
Brown family says it is an insult
and she will not attend.
"WaS 1t a breach of etiquette
to omit the son and is Mrs. Brown
justified in feeling as she dOeS?"
DAILY READER"
I believe that no one has a right
to take an attitude" about not
being invited to . wedding. either

to the ceremony or to the post
ceremony activity.
The people who send out the
invitations know what they want
to do, what they can conveniently
do, how many guests they can
accommodate and whom they
wish to invite. 1t is not for us
'to reason why
And so believe that Mrs. Brown
should graciously accept the in
vitations as given, and that she
and her daughter should attend
this wedding.
If this is not done, 1t will create
an unattractive situation, which
will Immediately destroy what is
apparently fine friendship, OF
which will widen into the destroy
ing of that friendship.
And friendships, espec lily
friendships between families. are
too important and too precious tc
be destroyed in this superficial
and narrow-minded way.

veys findings. The dress-up suit
does not serve this purpose be-
cause it looks too formal, and the
business suit has a full-time job
at the office during the week. Fur
thermore, the fabrics of the bust
ness suit and the dreSS-up suit do
not seem to fit the country scene.
Therefore, country or holiday
suit of a rough "loungy" material
such as a tweed, homeSpun or
cheviot is required in the five
suit wardrobe. These three fab
RIGS are characterized by their
comparatively shaggy surface and
soft woolly feel. In general, they
are rather loosely woven. Their
weave and texture permits
brighter colorings and richer
pattern effects more in keeping
with the holiday or country week
end spirit.
The fourth suit which finds spe-
cial use in the average mans
wardrobe is a formal one for BAN
DUETS. formal dances and other
formal evening parties. In most
parts of the country this means
a dinner jacket. commonly known
as a Tuxedo. In some of the col
leges and in a few large cities,
the formal evening tailcoat is
worn. Both of these outfits are
made of a black or midnight blue
unfinished worsted with silk lapelS
to match the color Of the coat.
For the Out Of Doors
And the fifth outfit of this five
suit balanced wardrobe for the
average man is an active sports
outfit. If he plays golf he needs
flannel Stacks and a sweater. II
he plays tennis, he requires white
flannel trousers, and so on Tor
the many other sports; skiing, to-
bogganing, skating, riding, hunt.
ing, fishing, swimming. Each
sport requires a particular outfit
and no one outfit will do double
duty. In general. these outfits
consist of wooden trousers (trunkS
in the case OF swimming only;
and a wooden upper, since wool
fabrics absorb perspiration and
lessen the dangers of chilling and
stiff muscles. The upper gar
ment may be a sweater, as for golf
or tennis; jacket as for riding,
skiing, skating and tobogganins;;
and both for fishing or hunting.

Beauty
Firm Facial
Tissues
By HELEN FOLLETT

If a woman won't exercise her
muscles, she can at least exer.
else the tiny fiberS under her
SKIN. Upon those tiny fiberS the
firmness of the flesh depends.
If they are in form, the body will
stay young, the face will not
wrinkle.
Buy a bath brush of firm
bristles. Don't economic. A cheap
brush is a total loss and an abomi-
nation. Use a complexion brush
with soap suds on the face, then
get busy with the bath brush,
securing the entire body surface.
Dead skin cells will be removed,
circulation will go WhiSking along
its way, and fiberS will respond.
Stand under a tepid shower, rive
yourself a good slapping, starting
on the face and finishing at the
toes. Do a smoothing motion of
the finger tips from ankles up
ward. Make a bracelet of the fin"
gers of one hand and send them
around the other arm.
Five minutes of touching the
floor without bending the knees
will make you feel tip-top. It's
good conditioning treatment after
a busy day.
There are wrinkles and wrinkles.
Some are evidence of a mean dis
position. Some come from worry
ing. The least dreadful are laugh.
ing lines; which often are an
asset in old age.
No matter what kind a
woman has, she should mind her
facial manners, use a heavy cream
every night, with light tapping
movements, and friction the skin
surface once a day with an ice
cube.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

"When he was n young child he
had infantile paralysis, which has
affected one of his legs, so that it
is shorter than the other and very
thin. He Iimps slightly, but other

very good to me, and I'm fond
of him. JOAN"
I can only claim casual reading
in regard to infantile paralysis, as
1 have no medical training. But
as l understand it, it is not in
herited, and serums made from
patients who have recovered from
the disease are used as a specific
in the treatment of the disease.
However, 1 would advise that you

that should be more of an ad
