 The one great purpose of the written Constitution was to elm. mate the uncertainty" that had obstructed industrial progress in the past by giving super-eo constitutional protection to tho fundamental es. Sentia6 of permanent industrial progress.
 The chief essentials given unusual protection by the constitution are: l. The sanotlty of property rights. Property rights are never safe under maporlty.rule.

 Tisntsin (By MaiD, (Up)-A party of dlgnlfied members of the House of Peers, the upper chamber in Japans parliament, stood in dusty roadway of Tehchow discussing plans for continuing its inspection Of tho North China battle zone,
 An airplane appeared from the south. Some of the men cast casual eyes upward, thinking it might be the plane they were to use for the return trip to Tientsin. Suddenly the ship dived and there was furious rattling of mAchlne.gun fire as the Chinese gunner Strafed the street,
 The MPs ducked for shelter, dig. nity thrown aside. They dived In dcorways; one took refuge under . cart, Bullets kicked up clouds of dust. Here was warfare In earnest, more than the inspection party had anticipated.
 No ono was injured and Q JapO. nese staff captain, guiding the party, said that there was more excitement than real danger in the incident,
 Really nothing Nt all," was the way Capt. T. Santo put it "It was no more dangerous than Q cup or water thrown from Q mountain. top" "
 But he had Q difficult time mak. ing the peers believe it,
 Captain Santo, Q brave soldier and expert horseman, told me about tho attitude ot the Japanese toward death on the field of battle. Mem bers of his own family had written him, he said, saying that while they hoped his health was excellent there would bc great honor attached to his death in action. ,
 Other officers told mo there hod been frequent eases of officers and mon committing suicide at tho front, Japanese soldiers frequently choose death to capture and feel honor bound to destroy themselves if they feel they have not acquitted them. selves well or if they have failed their emperor In an important scr- vice.

Realizing after three defeats that their youthful aggregation was not fast enough for the competition, the Championship club five last night formally resigned from the senior basketball league of the Washington Park Community house. The board of directors will meet Monday night to consider entrance of Q substitute team, possibly the Sacred Heart alumni. Failure to supply substi- tute team would seriously affect the schedule as prepared.
 The Community club was 0ver- whelmed last night, 62-22, in Q game with the Raymond Hillies, de- lending champions and leaders of the league to date. In the other tilt, which was nip and tuck, the Preps took the meaure of the Weiles, 34-3l. Enthusiasm was in the stratisphere in the latter game. and a serious situation nearly arose when at a crucial moment an unpopular decision was called by Referee Johnny Mccormack.

Raleigh, June 30-Drivers of motor
trucks, in either interstate or intra-
state commerce, will not come under
the new law enacted by the 1887 Gen.
eral Assembly which goes into effect
tomorrow, limiting the work week in
industry to IS hours a week for men
and 48 hours week for women, Com
missioner of Labor A. l.. Fletcher said
today, For the SIS hours a week limit
for men applies only to those en-
ployed in mills and factories and not
in mercantile establishments or those
working for mercantile houses, it was
pointed out
There is nothing in our law to
prevent truck owners and operators
from requiring their drivers to work
Is or even Is hours day if they want
to require them to work that long and
the drivers are willing to do it," Com
missioner Fletcher said. However, ]
have been informed that the Inter
state Commerce Commission will
shortly promulgate rules and regula-
ton which will give its bureau OF
motor carriers authority to regulate
the number of hours truck drivers
may be required to work in either in
terstate or interstate hauling. I have
no definite information on this as yet
but my belief is that these new re-
gulations will probably prohibit the
driving of a truck by one driver for
more than eight hours day at a
stretch and more than 48 hours a
week or for more than 16 hours in
case of emergency"
Commissioner Fletcher pointed out
that the Federal government now has
jurisdiction over all trucks and buses
in interstate and interstate commerce
with authority to fixe working hours
and to require certain safety precau-
lions.
zone of the most dangerous things
on the highways today are motor
trucks driven by tired or sleepy driv-
ers who have been required to work
too long without adequate rest,
Major Fletcher said 1--WE should have
a State law to regulate this, in addi-
ton to the Federal laws
