DAIRY COUNCIL
 MEETS TONIGHT
Dr. Howard Haggard to Speak at Gathering in
 New Haven Lawn Club

The annual meeting of the Con- necticut Dairy and Food council will be held tonight at 6 o'clock (day- light saving time) at the New Haven Lawn club. This meeting is to pro- vide an opportunity for members of the dairy industry to meet with the council and discuss their educa- tional program of nutrition and health education. Members of the dairy industry are invited to attend including milk producers, dealers, their sales managers and supervis- ors.
 The outstanding feature of the program will be talk by Dr. How- ard w. Haggard, professor of phys iology at Yale university. Dr. Hag- gard is well known as distin- guished physiologist. A recent and striking contribution to the subject of industrial productivity was made by him, in which study he pointed out that the muscular efficiency of workers increased with between meal feedings of milk. This was determined by actual plant produc- tion of plant operators. Dr. Hag- gard will talk on the subject of Eating for Efficiency, and since the dairy council has a rather ex- t. tive industrial program under way, Dr. Haggard's talk will be par ticularly pertinent.
 There will be a complete exhibit of all Dairy Council activities. The Connecticut Dairy and Food Coun- cil is 8 unit of the National Dairy Council of Chicago and the report at the annual meeting will be cen- tered around the activities of the unified eight point program in which all dairy councils are partici- pating.
 A short business meeting at 5:45 p. m. will precede the dinner meet ing, at which time there will be an election of officers of the board of directors.

Magazine Rack Purge Gaining
 Wide Support
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 A campaign against "Filth in Print" which may do in the magazine field what the Legion of Decency has done in the movie field, is the lat est crusade undertaken by Catholic churchmen.
 The movement is designed to eliminate all newsstand matter which "glorifies crime or criminals, is 'sexy' or features illicit love, con- tains indecent or suggestive illus trations, or carries disreputable advertising"
 Not yet organized on a national scale, this movement, launched by local Catholic churchmen, has al- ready operated strongly in the magazine field in Fort Wayne, Ind; Providence, R. l.; Albany, N. r.: Milwaukee, Wis, and Denver, Colo.
 In Albany the movement is called the Crusade to Clean Up Filth in Print; in Fort Wayne the work is being done by the League for Clean Reading. Both are un- der auspices of the local Catholic dioceson clergy.
 In Providence, 165,000 people have signed pledges not to read publications listed as offensive, and more than 300 newsstand propri- etors have pledged themselves not to handle such publications. Even the Master Barbers' Association of the state was lined up, and voted not to make the prescribed maga- zines available to customers. Government Support

During the past few months, MT. Bowe has been very &C., tive in reorganizing and revitalizing alumni groups at the request of the rector who desires to see well or ganized and active alumni. MT. Bowe has also been instrumental in forming several new local and state units. He has visited many sections of the country and it is expected he will have some interesting news and irl- formation about the university men and their activities. He will also dis cuss plans for the national alumni meeting to be held in New York late in May and also will outline the program for the celebration of the university's golden jubilee in 1889.
 There will be moving pictures of | football games and boxing matches engaged in by teams representing the university and also colored films taken of the campus and of campus activities.

 The similarity of the campaign to that of the Legion of Decency in the movie field was readily sensed by the Wisconsin Council of Catholic Women, which sent out a letter noting that "a few years ago it did not seem possible that in the near future there would be such a change in the movies.

.Wage-Hour Advocates Determined
 Now's s The Time
 To Pass Bill

Washington, May 6-Some very special reasons figure in the deter imitation of wage-hour bill advo- cates to struggle to the last for a measure from the House this session. Among the reasons is a general belief that the Senate-which pass cd wage-hour bill last year and would have to be asked to do so again next winter If there were no enactment by the present Congress wouldn't pass such a good" bill next time.
 The Senate has become more independent since the depression began. But the chief loss there to the wage-hour forces came with elevation of Senator Hugo Black, former chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, to the Supreme Court. Black was fighter and although the original administration bill was torn to pieces he managed to pilot larger part of it through than less vigorous leader could have done.
 The present committee chairman is Senator Ebert D. Thomas, the Utah scholar, who is sincere and able, but lacks force. There are no other strong wage-hour battlers among the committees Democratic members.
 Business Boost
 The Senate bill set up standards of 40 cents an hour and 40 hours a week, to be administered by a board which would be empowered to make exceptions.
 Further. it's orthodox wage hour bill theory that such a law would aid recovery by increasing purchasing power and protecting many Legitimate" business men from sw c a ts h Op competition. Twenty-twO Pennsylvania con- gressmen have signed petition claiming that thousands of work CTS in their state have lost jobs lately when industries moved to other states to pay starvation wages American business seeking cheap labor limpoverishes its own cus- toners, they claimed.
 Some advocates believe passage of wage-h0ur bill would cause a spurt of production in low-wage industries, somewhat similar to that preceding MIRA codes in 1883. Tyrolean Tops
 There isn't any Austria in Europe any more, but the Department of Agriculture is making sure that there will be title bit of it in America.
 Rangers and guides of the For est Service will be equipped with green Tyr0Iean hats to replace the army campaign type of top pieces they now wear.
