MAXIMUM WORK week.
Under the second part the labor
standards board is directed to establish
. maximum work week a. near the
level of 40 hours week as is econom-
ically feasible. Again the board must,
before declaring a maximum work
week, take into consideration all rel
evant circumstances. Again these cir
cumstances are set forth in the bill.
1t is the policy of the bill that maxi
mum work week be established as
rapidly as possible without curtailing
earning power or reducing production.
Employees engaged in certain seasonal
occupations are exempted from the
provisions of the bill dealing with
maximum work-week standards, but
there is no comparable exemption from
the wage provisions of the bill. To
insure even greater f1exibility a sub
standard labor condition is not con-
sidered to exist where employees work
more than the established work week

Britain Warns

of Any More Chinese
Provinces

London, July 29-U,P)-A stern
warning to Tokyo that great Brit
ain resents any further japanese
attempts to detach Chinese pro-
vinces from the Marking govern
ment was revealed tonight by
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
in the House of Commons.
The Stiffening Of the British
attitude toward the situation in
the far East came as the lives Of
thousands of British, American
and other foreign nationals were
endangered in a furious japanese
bombing raid on TienStin in
North China.
The British warning to Japan
was disclosed by question Of
WedgWood Beam, Liberal men,
ber of Commons, who asked
bluntly:
HAS the Foreign Secretary
made it clear to the Japanese
government that we do not ap-
prove of any further attempt to
detach provinces from the Nank-
ing Governments"
Yes" Eden answered, then ad-
ded quickly:
From our various declarations
the honorable member will be able
to see that we very much regret
the situation, more so as we were
hoping for improvement of rela-
tions in the far East generally,
which We can not hope for while
present conditions persist"
The Foreign Secretary's state
has been working in close col
ment indicated that Britain, who
liberation with the United States
and France in appeals to both
the Chinese agld japanese, has
abandoned hopes that open,
large-scale war can be averted.

Miss Jessie Pollikoff, 25, of

Manchu capital Of Peiping and
had Tienstin under virtual con-
troll. But he tried to fire the
hearts of the Chinese by saying:
1T is obvious that warfare at
Peiping and Tienstin is only the
beginning of war of invasion and
not it's end. The hostilities in
the Peiping and TienStin areas
should not be regarded as termin-
ated."
Peiping to the north where the
entire trouble started was sub
dued. The pro-Japanese Gen.
Chang TIE Chung was in control
and Chinese troops were fleeing.
Officials did not interpret the
Generalissimo Chiang's statement
as notification of severance of re-
lations with Japan but one au-
lucrative source said: IF there
is anything like that it will be the
next step, but not now"
Emphasizing that he is the
highest political and military au-
thority in China, and therefore
responsible for conditions in the
north, Chiank said he has made
all necessary preparations to de-
fend the country against en-
crachment on it's territory.
Present conditions" he declar-
ed, "show that the Japanese have
completely ignored China's wish
eS. Therefore, China is deter
mined to fight to the last man."
Chang blamed himself as much
as Gen. Sung Cheh- Yuan, head
of the North China government,
for the loss of Peiping because he
did not support the northern
troops. Sung left his post and re-
tired south to Paotingfu, leaving
Gen. Chang Tze-Chun, Mayor Of
TienStin, in authority.
Various authorities believed that
Chiank's acceptance of partial
responsibility for Sungs retire
ment will mean formal war with
Japan and certain defeat for
China.

Icy Cold Milk
Drinks That
Are Different

We are indebted TO The Chris
tian Science Monitor for the re-
cipeS for several milk drinks that
may seem unusual; but variety is
ever the spice of life.
There is nothing more refresh
ing than icy cold milk drinks.
Many people feel that some spec
ial equipment for preparing them
is necessary, but this is not the
case. Plenty of cold milk. fruit
or fruit juices, chocolate or other
flavorings, a few turns of the egg
beater and the milk shake is ready.
Half the charm of a cool drink
lies in the way it is served. The
attractive, inexpensive glassware
available nowadays is just the
thing. Perhaps you can treat
yourself and the family to several
sets. The different patterns and
colors will add variety in serving.
Here are some delicious milk
drinks. They will appeal to the
children as we'll. as to the grown
ups.

A fashionable, up-to-date and complete mems furnishings depart ment is now an active part of the Hadley Company at 47 Grand street, which for the past several years has been one of Waterbury's most prom inent furniture stores. Although an innovation to htis city, the intro- duction of a mems clothing depart ment is nothing new to the Hadley firm. Similar departments have been introduced in Hadley stores in other cities.
 It was not sudden brainstorm that prompted the establishment of a mems furnishings department, but rather a project that was planned over @ long period of time. But now it's here, and for the first time in Its years of home furnishing spe- ciallzation, Hadley's service has been broadened to include mems clothing on deferred payments. Years Cf study and planning initiated by thousands of requests for Good Clothing" with liberal credit, con- vinced the company of the need for such service.
