Coast Gua1dsmen Proposed
Should Be Built by Town
and Merchants As Good
Will Builder

That Elizabeth City could go a
long ways towards regaining the
good will of the people Of Dare
County by providing a barracks
and club room here for Seventh
District Coast GuardSmen who
come here for business or other
purposes, is the opinion of the
one Coast Guard official.
There's hardly a day but that
some Coast Guard5man from some
station in the district comes here
on business. It's long trip from
the Coast Guard stations on the
beach to this city, and Coast
GuarGsmen frequently have to
spend the night here. And unless
they are fortunate enough to have
friends or relatives who will put
them up, they have to dig into
their own pockets and pay for
lodging.
More Coast GuardSmen would
come here on shopping trips, as
well as on business, if they had
some place where they could bunk
for the night free of charge, in
the opinion of Capt. Walter Ethe-
ridge, of Seventh District head
quarters.
It would be a nice thing, in
Capt. Etheridge's opion, if Eliza
beth City would erect small bar
racks and club room where visit
ing Coast Guardsmen could spend
the night and read and play
cards and checkers. A suitable
building could be erected for per-
haps as little as $l,500. Furnishing
it would be a simple matter. Cots

would be obligated to furnish Is

Peggy Garcia
In Old Home
For Evidence
Hat-Check Girl Expects to
Explain Her Former
Marriage Away

Rancke, Va. Feb. %. - U,R)
Blonde Peggy Garcia, Harlem hat
check girl who came here to check
up on her early love-life, tonight
was forced to postpone her re-
turn to New York tomorrow to
tell Justice Salvatore Cotillo about
her "kissleSS marriage" when she
was IL.
Through her lawyer she ex-
planned that new developments
we're keeping her here until to-
morrow.
Peggy, who first went to New
York five years ago IAN innocent
little girl from Virginia" and met
Dave Rubinoff, radio violinist,
whom she now is suing for $780,
900 for supposedly romantic in
jurie5, came here to find answers
to certain questions tossed at her
by Rubinoff's lawyers.
They said Peggy was married
when she met and dazzled Rubin
off while she was working as a
hat-Check girl in a Harlem night
spot.
Peggy tearfully denied this. To-
day she explained that she had
been married, but it was not eX-
aCtly a marriage, because she was
only IL when it happened and
never kissed her husband.
Bernard Sander, her attorney,
who dashed here with Peggy,
somewhat confused by the turn
of events, said Peggy was quite
correct telling Justice Salvatore
Cotillo she had never been mar
ried" because under Virginia law
a child marriage" was not legal.

Hours OF
New Bill In Senate
Would Establish
Program
JObless Census
Hour Regulation Would
Depend On Total Num-
her of Unemployed

Washington, Feb. 22-U.2)-A
bill providing for federal regu.a-
ton of the hours of work in in
dustry based on periodic censuses
of the job,ess, was introduced in
the senate today by Sen. Francis
T. Maioney, D., Conn.
The fleXibility of this measure
should overcome objections to
proposals such as the 80 hour
week BILL" Ma.oney said. Nobody
could say the government was
Gripping industry by cutting down
the hours of work if the regula-
ton was based on pre- e-determined
needs"
The bill provides for a census of
the unemployed this year, again
in 1910 and every two years
thereafter. Maloney suggested
that registrations of the joblesS
with the U. S. Employment Ser
vice could supplement the census
to provide a constant check on
the number of idle.
A federal unemployment COM
mission would be empowered by
his proposal to fix a maximum 30
hour work week for industry if
more than 100000 employables
between 18 and IS years old were
shown out of work. The maximum
work-week would range UP to 40
hours when less than 100000
were unemployed.
The products of companies not
complying with the regulations
would be banned from interstate
commerce and from sale to the
government,
A commission composed of the
attorney general, the secretaries Of
commerce and labor, the chairman
Of the federal trade commission
and the chairman of the social
security board would administer
the law.
