WAGE AND HOUR
BILL ATTACKED
SHOWN THAT REPRESENTA-
TIVE WILCOX BITTERLY
OPPOSES MEASURE

ORLANDO, Dec. Is. FNS).-
The Black Connery wage and
hour bill was attacked and the
Florida National Exhibits, Inc,
was endorsed by the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce at its 21st
annual convention here last week.
Representative j. Mark Wilcox
has bitterly opposed this bill from
its inception.
Florida does not need the wages
and hour bill, the delegates were
told by State Marketing Director
Wilson. Rather than cripple la
Dor with legislation, Florida can
fare better by taking advantage
of the God-given advantages for
labor that are evident in this state
as in no other section of the ma
tion," he said.
Earl w. Brown of DeLand, vice
president and manager of Florida
National Exhibits, Inc, outlined
plans for the Florida exhibit at
the New York Worlds Fair in
1889. Other speakers included
Clarence r: Biting of Clewiston
and New York, president of the
lUniteR States Sugar Corporation,
and Stephen McCready of Ocala,
president of Florida Association
of Real Estate Boards.
Harold C6iee,L jacksonville, was
unanimously reelected to serve
his third consecutive term as
president; N. P. Vowel, Orlando,
was named vice president. Dis
trict vice presidents are: No. l, ].
S. Foley of Foley; No. 2, M. M.

SUNDAY DINNER
Sw99eSAOnS.
By ANN PAGE

NTEATS other than poultry are
lXl cheaper and will probably be APP
preciated as pre-holiday fare. Smoked
hams and bacon, forequarter beef,
lamb and fresh pork are all reasonable
in price. Eggs are plentiful and cheap
for the season. Use them freely in
your holiday baking.
Fish of many varieties is attractive
in price for everyday and fast day
needs.
Fruits, particularly the citrus fruits
and apples, are abundant and inexpen-
sive. Some vegetables, however, were
affected by last weeks severe cold
weather and are less plentiful and
more expensive.
Seasonable foods make up the fol-
lowing menus:
Low Cost Dinner
Braised Chuck Steak
Potatoes Onions Carrots
Bread and Butter
Tapioca Cream with Bananas
Tea or Coffee Milk
Medium Cost Dinner

THIS is the problem: Sister
L wants to entertain the Girl
Scouts, it's Jules turn to have the
Bid-or-Bi club and Rose insists
she can't put off the Laff-a-Lots
minute longer. And each Of
them has just finished new dress
and is anxious to wear it for the
occasion.
Sisters Choice.
Sisters bit of intrigue is, as
you can see, a dress worth want
ing to show off (Pattern 1223)
1t is made OF velveteen this time
and little later on She. going to
blossom out in a bright crisp ging-
ham version for school. The smart
collar, fiattering flared skirt and
puff sleeves are good reasons for
this frock's popularity. 1t comes
IN sizes to IA years. Size 8 re-
quires 21s yards of 80 inch ma
terial.
Jules Entertaining Dress.
julie knows neat trick when
she sees one whether on the table
or in a page of fashions, and she
didn't miscue in choosing Pattern
1898. She'll wear this snappy
shirt frock when she's cit" to
entertain and because she chose
broadcloth it will look more trig
and lovely after each washing.
The diagram shows why few
hours is all that's needed to sew
this grand number. You may have
it in sizes "a to 46. Size SO requires
42s yards of 35 inch material.
With long sleeves AS yards.
1t Was Easy, Says Rose.
They didn't believe Rose when
she said she made this startlingly
pretty dress (Pattern 1920. She
did though, even the buttonholes!
However the same stunning effect
can be had by sewing the buttons
on for trimming only. The ele-

were on the steamers, and the bril-
liant victory of Belmont followed.
1t was not great victory, for the
forces engaged were not large, but
it was beginning and showed the
metal of Grant.
Back to Cairo, with larger force
he again and again urged for per-
mission to move, and when the
permission came he rushed his men
to the steamers, and three days lat
er he captured Fort Henry. Not
delaying an hour he pushed his
small force across the country to
Fort Donelson. He was not dis
mayed by the fact that the force in
the fort was larger than his own,
but Immediately locked the doors
on that force. When the rest of his
men reached him, by series of
brilliant assaults, he captured, not
alone the fort, but an army almost
equal in number to his own.
At Shiloh, unlike any other gen
eral, he remained to fight after his
disaster on the first day, he made
no effort to get the remains of his
army across the river but at day
light the next morning became the
attacking party, winning a vic
tory. He was now at Vicksburg,
and complaints of his delay were
many. Only that day two sena-
tors had urged Lincoln to displace
Grant, but he would not do it.
Grant," he said, fights, and that
is what 1 want" He said Grant
had promised him he would cap
ture Vicksburg by the fourth of
July, and he intended to give him
the opportunity.
The President, with deep earnest
ness, then declared: when he cap
lures Vicksburg, l will find some
way to boost him over the heads
of all others, and give him COM
mand of all the armies. With Grant

KidnaperS' RanSOmS.

IT'S all we'll enough to pass an
L act making payment of ransom
to kidnaper criminal offense-as
though heartbroken parents would
hesitate to pay ranSoms to get
their babies back, no matter what
the penalty for so doing might be!
And can you see any American jury
convicting those parents? The au-
thor of the law is no doubt well-in-
tentioned but there is another law,
called the law of human nature,
which most surely would defeat his
purposes.
BY the way, a person who should
know what he's talking about, tells
me that three out of every four
known kidnapers during recent
years have been ex-convicts with
records as repeated offenders.
So, instead of trying to penalize
agonized parents for obeying ma
tural instinct, how about snappy
little law to curb certain parole
boards which seem to delight in
turning 'em out as fast as the courts
can clap 'em in?
