Spradley, teStifying as the COM
mission took up rates on pipe fit
tingS. said he had been forced to
ship by truck, except to New York
where the rail-water rate applies
and is comparable to freight rates
in the northern territory. He add
ed that freight charges on his
goods generally were one-third
higher in the South than for equal
distances in the official territory
north of the Ohio and east of
tire Mississippi river.
J. A. Brough, assistant secre-
tary of Crane & Company operat-
ing Crane enamelwaie in Chatta-
nOoga, testified his firm was at q
10 per cent disadvantage in COM
peting with Louisville, KY, plants.
He said 70 per cent Of all plumb
ing supplies are consumed in the
official territory, but that his firm
sold only At per cent of its output
there because of the disparity of
freight rates of the South and the
North.
Fl. w. Scott. vice-chairman of
the South Carolina Public Service
Commission, testified as the per-
Sonal representative of Gov. DIN
ID. Johnston. He said elimination
of rate barriers is necessary if
South Carolina is to further its
drive for new industries.
South Carolina is entirely in
accord with statements made by
Governors Bibb Graves of Ala

Woman Singing
In Bath Called
Painful Music

MINNEAPOLIS, April ID
(UP)-If you are woman and
sing in the bathtub, you are MAX
ing someone unhappy.
And if you don't sing in the
bathtub you yourself must be UNI
happy.
Abe Pepinsky. professor Of mu-
sic at the University Of MinncSo-
Ia discovered after study that
because Of the high frequency
of woman's voice, in bathroom
it reSounds with sensation Of
pain"
In other words, the high reflect
ing walls in the bathroom make
the vocal harmony in mans bass
voice pleasing whereas the oral
harmony in woman's voice
would be beyond the audible
range. What you do hear is un-
pleasant.
In a confined place like a bath
room notes below middle G will
reflect several feet, go echoing
round and reSound in all their
richness. This is not true of high
er tones which have too short Il
wave length, according to Prof.
Pepinsky.

floor for consideration.
The measure would set an mi
tial minimum wage of % cents an
hour for all industry, in inter-
state commerce or affecting" in
terState commerce, except agricul-
ture, increasing at mandatory
rate of five cents an hour each
year until it reaches 40.
The initial maximum work week
is ii hours. decreasing to 40 by
two steps.
The bill would be administered
by the secretary Of labor with en-
fOrcement vested in the justice
department. Violation would be
punishable by a $500 fine and
six months Imprisonment.
The committee agreed TO the
bill by IL To ! after rejecting Il
flexible measure prepared by a
subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Robert RamSpeck, D.,
Ga, and providing for administra-
ton by q board empowered to re-
lax stated annual wage increases
if living costs and the value of
service did not, in the boards
opinion, Justify the increase.
Regardless of the contents of
the bill, however, it is expected to
meet strong opposition, particu-
larly from southern congressman
who say it is impossible to impose
standards which would be equit-
able in both the north and the
south. In addition administration
leaders have put on a drive for
adjournment by May IA and with
President RoOSevelt'S recovery
program up for action, little other

STATE BUILDS
NEW HOSPITAL
TO AID INSANE
Model Institution for the
Nation Has Newest
Facilities
By JOHN ABBOTT
United Press Staff Corr.sponJen NJ

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April Is.
(UP).-Fifty-eignv miles north of
Los Angeles, on level stretch
overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
California has constructed what
state officials believe to be among
the finest institutions for treat.
ment of the insane in the United
States.
The plant, Camarillo state hos
pital, receives patients suffering
from all types of insanity.
When the siX-year building pro-
gram is completed, Camalillo will
represent an investment of 49,
100000. 1t will house $4,000 pa
tients.
Present quarters will accomo-
date $4,000 patients. Additions
will include a female unit (pa-
tientS of both sexes currently are
housed in the finished building)
a research building, medical unit
and quarters for aged, infirm and
tuberculosis mental cases.
During the l937-39 bicnnium
the project will be materially ad-
vanced through ALLEGATION of ST.
$4,000 in building funds.
SPANISH STYLE. =, :.
ARCHITECTURE
Because Of moderate land costs
and climate favorable to the
Spanish type of architecture,
Camarillo is said to provide adj
vantageS not found in most inSti-
buttons for the insane.
The present unit includes the
series of low, red-roofed build.
ings usually associated with the
Spanish design. Each has it's en-
closed patio or courtyard, offer
ing exercise facilities.
"We'll have to recognize that
California possesses unusual eli
matte features" declared Harry
Lutgens, state director of institu-
tons.
This gives US a chance to per-
NIT the patients exercise frequ-
emily, in an enclosed yard where
they can be supervised. We have
plenty of room on the grounds
and for that reason we were gen.
erous with recreational fields
Camarillo includes a central
patio covering seven acres, which
serves a Sthe principal play
ground. Il, Tennis, softbal and bad
minton are more than merely dec
orative, Lutgens pointed out. -
BUILDING QUICKLY CLEARED
"ln case of catastrophe we can
get the patients out much faster,
and the style of building insures
adequate ventilation.

calm expanse of the ocean will
bring peace. ,..,... 49,.
The institution receives pa
tients from Santa Barbara and

Der from Los Angeles county. Be-
cause of its setting, the applica-
ton list is large but necessarily
restricted.

BY ALEXANDER KAHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

= HOLLYWOOD, April Is. (UP)
If only to get even with women
who have taken over almost ev-
cry habit Of men, Jimmy Gleason,
comedian, playwright and movie
director, favors the masculine use
Of makeup.
"The women have been show
ing us for years how they adj
mire our ways" Gleason said.
Don't they prove this by wear
ing our sort Of clothes, down to
the pants? And cigarettes no
longer are a mans pastime. Oh,
for the good old days when a
guy could get into a smoky
corner and enjoy cocktail with
his hat on"
Gleason's recent outburSt was
prompted by increasing reports
of men using lipstick, rouge and
powder.
"The girls owe us a lot Of
things, and it's natural for men
TO take something in exchange.
It's getting so man can't call
thing his own except the lawn
mower and u cOrncob pipe.
There isn't anything effemin-
ate, or exclusively feminine, about
everyday use of cosmetics for
men; just as there no longer is
anything exclusively masculine
about smoking a cigarette.
Men will use makeup if they
decide they want to do so and
feel that the women will like it.
Of course, it will take few
daring souls to start the men Off,
but that's always true of anything
different.
