Mt. Mckinley National Park" was the sign to be painted in the not very distant future on a station to be built on the railroad the U. s. Government was building. It was expected that when connections were made that hundreds of tour ists would visit the place. The park lay in the heart of the almost impas- sable Alasna mountain range which rises between the interior and the southwest coast. The park was est ablished by Congress February 26, 1917 and covered an area of 2,200 square miles. It was the second largest of the National parks, and was established as a refuge and breeding ground for the conserva- tion of Alaska big game.

RandIe Highlands Citizens
See Inconvenience to
Public by Route.

The Randle Highlands Citizens
Association last night recommended
that the use of Pennsylvania avenue
for parades and celebrations be dis
couraged and that more consideration
be given the use of Constitution avenue
for such affairs. The motion stated
the blocking off OF Pennsylvania
avenue and adjacent thoroughfares
constituted a great inconvenience to
citizens.
A proposed change in the zoning Of
Minnesota avenue between Naylor
road and Pennsylvania avenue Sc. was
opposed by the association. Adelbert
w. Lee. association president, said he
would attend the hearing Of the COM
mission today to protest for the asso-
citation.
School Changes Urged.
The system of grade limits at Orr
and Randle Highland Schools was
criticized by the association. At
present Orr accommodates children
from kindergarten to the third grade,
while third to sixth grade pupils are
enrolled in the Randle Highlands
School. The association proposed that
both schools accommodate children
from kindergarten to the sixth grade
because Of the distances children are
forced to travel.

THE ruddy sheldrake is better known
in Europe and Asia and is acci-
dental in Greenland, New Jersey and
North Carolina. He is handsome and
of stocky build. His mate has the
more brilliant ruddy colors. This is
a departure from the usual plan Of
the males being the more brightly
plumaged.
However, the family traits are the
same, and you will find they follow
quite closely the habits of their cousins,
the mergansers, constituting small
group of hsh-eatlng ducks. They are
referred to as fishing ducks, sheldrakes
or saWbills.
They are all expert fishermen, and
their fairly long, narrow, cylindrical
bills have sharp, saw-toothed edges,
which enable them to hold fast to
their fish after it is caught. They
are able because of these teeth to
grasp large, thrashing fish, bent

BUSINESS ACTIVITY

Business activity in the United States,
according to some reports. lags behind the
rest of the world This, it is said. is shown
by the fact that during the first nine
months of this year, the consumption of
crude rubber, tin and copper in the United
States does not compare in the ratio of
consumption in Europe.
For example, the consumption of
crude rubber in this country was 36.7 per
cent below last year, compared with a
drop of 81 per cent outside the United
States. The figures for tin show the
United States 400 per cent below last
year. while consumption elsewhere was
about the same. Copper consumption in
this country averaged about 90 per cent
of last years figures, while in other areas.
new high levels were attained.
The chances are that the record con-
sumption of these commodities abroad
have been caused BY vast armament pro-
grams. It is generally admitted that the
preparedness programs in the larger coun-
tries of Europe have provided boost for
business generally.

WAGE-HOUR Law
GRADUAL APPROACH
THE NEW CONGRESS
PREDICTIONS SCARCE
BARUcH ON DEFENSE
WANTS U. S. PREPARED

The Wages and Hours Law,
which went into effect Monday,
October "a, will be slowly applied
to regulate the nations industrial
structure. Elmer F. Andrews, .ad-
ministrator, has chosen the tex
tile industry for first attention.
Hampered by small appropria-
ton, he will recruit a staff of
about 1000 persons, all but the
topfnost under Civil Service, to
administer the complex law. 1t is
estimated that less than three
percent of wage-earners in manu-
featuring industries win be af-
fected by the initial wage pro-
vision of the Act. However, in the
cotton goods industry, it is believ-
ed that the workers, particularly
in the South, will obtain increas-
ed wages by virtue of the new
law.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-11-09

When the law went into effect,
in a broad way, it became illegal
for an employer engaged in inter
state commerce, to pay his wage
workers less than twenty-five
cents an hour, or to employ them
more than forty-four hours a
week, During the second year of
the laws operation, the basis will
be thirty cents an hour and for
W hours. At the beginning of the
eighth year, it will be forty cents
an hour and forty hours a week
unless the. law is changed in the
meantime. 1t is also illegal to ship
in interstate commerce any goods
made in an establishment employ
ing children under sixteen years
of age. These are the general pro-
visions but the law has a number
of exceptions. These, it is impos-
Sible to point out in the space at
our disposal.
