When Congress returns Chairman
King Of the Senate District Committee
said he expects to confer on the cues
ton Of District suffrage with Repre-
sentatives Summers Of Texas and
Randolph Of West Virginia to find out
what their plans are regarding the
subject. Mr.. Summers is chairman Of
the House judiciary Committee, which
held suffrage hearings at the last
session, and Mr.. Randolph is author Of
one Of the bills on the subject.
Senator King, an opponent of giving
the District the vote, explained that
he Is not committing himself. He
said he thought the move for local
government should originate in
the House. The House hearings last
spring covered proposed constitutional
amendments for national representa-

WAIT
WAGE ACT SET-UP
Thousands on Border Line
to Decide for Selves if
Law Applies.

By the Associated Press.
Thousands Of employers must decide
In the next month whether the new
wage-hour law applies to their partic-
ular businesses.
Offcials Of the Wage-Hour Admin
istration explained today that in in
Vulnerable borderline cases the pro.
prietors must determine for them
selves whether their workers are par
ticipating in or producing goods for
interstate commerce.
II they are, they must be given the
benefit of Federal labor standards:
A minimum wage of rs cents an hour
and q maximum work week Of a
hours.
Before the law becomes effective o.
tober "a, Administrator Elmer F. An
drews expects to issue opinions to
guide these employers. Calvert Ma
gruder, general wage-hour counsel, is
listing industries which clearly come
under the law.
No Pat Definition"
But Mr.. Magruder has told friends
there will be no pat definition" OF
interstate commerce. Thus thousands
OF businesses on the borderline-partly
engaged In interstate and partly in
intrastate commerce-must decide for
themselves.
For the individual business man. the
fnanriAl IN ,N1 81
may be quite high.
Take the case of an employer who
has = small industry producing most
Of its goods for consumption within
the State.
If his salary scale is low and his
work-week long, he would have to
alter both materially to comply with
the law-provided he decided he was
subject to it.
Runs Heavy Risk.
But he might decide he did not have
to comply because the great bulk of
his products was sold within the State.
He probably could 60 along for
months after October ~ without rails
Ing wage minimums or shortening the
work week. Later. If his employees
could prove in court that the law COW
cred them, they could collect back
wages up to the minimum and also
compensation for the overtime they
had worked.
In such a court case the adminiStra-
tors opinions applicable to the indus
try would have no legal weight, Of
ncials say, although conceivably the
court could take them into considera-
ton.
Appropriation to Be Asked. =
Administrator Andrews disclosed yes
terday he would request a deficiency
appropriation early next year.
He said $35o,0oo appropriated b.
the last Congress for early operations
Of the Wage-Hour Division would es-
tablish only three or four industry
committees to determine minimum
wages.
We want to get as many people in
the field as possible before October a."
he explained
The administrator said he hoped to
appoint minimum wage committees
for the dress and cotton garments In
dustries before January. He added
that the recently appointed 2l-mem-
Der committee for the textile industry
would meet here October II.

SWANS.

SWANS.
Swans are. in some respects, the
most unusual birds known to man.
They walk. swim and fly, and
though their footWork is a bit awK-
ward, they can outrun a moderately
fast horse. They are unable to fly
when molting, but in full feather
they have been known to attain a
speed of 100 miles an hour while fly
ing before the wind.
Despite their awkwardness as
walkers, they achieve exquisite grace
when swimming, and it is this fact
that inspired the oft-quoted phrase,
"as graceful as a swan"
Wild swans are known as "Whis-
ting swans" because of their pc
culiarly shaped windpipe, which, &C
cording to one authority, turns back
like a trumpet and afterward makes
a second bend" causing their cry
to sound like a shrill whistle. The
tame species, lacking this strange
windpipe, cannot whistle, but Kisses
instead.
Ancients believed these mute
swans sang only once-just before
dying-and this accounts for the
popular expression, swan song," ap-
plying to farewell address.
Uncle Sam has purchased "swan
refuge" at Mattanaskeet, N. c., be-
cause large f1ocks vacation in that
vicinity Swans hreed" in the Arctic
region, and fly southwark in the
winter. Approximately 5000 Of them
spend the colder months In North

Troop Working
On Gifts for
Needy
By GOLDA BREIN.

With Christmas very near, our
Girl Scout troop is quite busy pre-
pairing to make the holiday season
merry one for some poor family.
There are many children who feel
sad after a Christmas without toys,
clothes or even food, and it is our
purpose-as 1t should be every ones
to lessen sucn unhappiness.
We make dresses. nightgowns and
other clothes out of flannel for the
babies. For the older children, we
search our homes for clothes we
have outgrown. These we wash,
iron and mend.
Next, we get bushel basket from
one of the neighborhood stores and
every one contributes a few cans of
food. The day before we send away
the basket we buy meat, butter and
other perishable foods. These pur-
chases are made with money from
our troop treasury.
After everything is in order, the
basket is sent to Girl Scout head
quarters, or to woman's club,
where Christmas gifts are distrib-
uted among the needy.
We feel that we are doing a big
part In helping some unfortunate
family in this way. and our own
Christmas seems brighter.

their parents, for one reason or an

Horse Described
By Girl
By SARAH COHEN.

AS I have lived most of my life
in Army posts, have had plenty
of opportunity for adventure. Both
of the incidents that I am about to
desribe occurred in the Panama
Canal Zone, where made my home
until only few months ago.
One day. while riding horseback, I
suddenly felt my mount bolt ahead.
For moment did not know what
was happening; then I saw small
snake beside the road. BY this time
the horse was galloping so fast that
I knew he was beyond my control.
When I heard the sound of hoo:s
behind me I let 60 a sigh of relief
because I thought the horse would
slow down. Much to my surprise,
however, he increased his speed
Suddenly my horse stumbled and
my saddle turned completely around.
felt one of my feet touch the
ground: then, luckily, my other foot
broke loose, as the horse regained
his footing and galloped homeward.
When I returned home I found
that he had reached the stables
safely. He was a white Costa Rican
horse named Rex and I shall never
forget him.
One night at about 1890 o'clock
the bugle call for fire sounded. This
started grand uproar. All the
men rushed out of their barracks;
fire engines raced up the street: the
lights in the post theater went on
and all the soldiers ran out 10 report
to their companies.
We were standing on the porch
OF our quarters, trying to discover
the whereabouts of the fire. I hailed
a man running up the street and
he said the fire was up by the gun
battery"
AS any one might guess, this is
a dangerous place to have fire, be-
cause all ammunition and other ex-
plosives are kept there
When all the commotion was over,
however, we found out that alarm
had been false.

the owners chicken yard could be

Among the chickens was a large
rooster who was 50 fussy that no
stranger could enter the yard with
out trouble.
One night, the chicken yard gate
was left open. Early the next morn

and into the chicken yard while
mother was preparing breakfast for

Suddenly, daddy jumped up and

Ages

Science has so far failed to solve
the mystery of why some forms of
animal life live so long, while others
die SO soon.
Among the animals noted for their
long life are the whale, which may
reach an age of 500 years, the ele-
phant, which gets to be $50, and the
turtle, which sometimes sees $50
summers.
Birds also live to great ages, the
golden eagle reaching 104 years. the
swan $50 years. the parrot 100 years,
the goose 80 years and the sparrow
40 years.
Bears sometimes attain an age of
so, which beats the lion. who only

same general family as the lion,
sometimes lives for 20 or 30 years,

In flash, daddy, the man of the
house and two men working nearby
were at the baby's side. The man
who owned the rooster said that If
they had not reached the chicken
yard when they did, my brother
probably would have lost his eyes.
My mother said that when she
left Delaware late that summer,
she was not bit sorry. The follow
ing Thanksgiving she received a
letter from the daughter of the man
who owned the rooster.
The girl told mother that nobody
would ever have to worry about the
