SUPREME COURT
GIVES BOARD ITS
SECOND SETBACK

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). - The
Supreme Court on December II re-
fused to review a lower court ruling
setting aside National Labor Rela-
tions Board order against the PENN
sular and Occidental Steamship Com
pany, New Haven, Conn, on grounds
that the boards findings were not sup
ported by evidence
The decision constituted another Su-
preme Court setback for the labor
board. A week previously the court
ruled against the board in the Con-
solidated Edison Company case, re-
jecting the boards order that the big
New York utility company abrogate
its contract with the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, A.
F. Of L. affiliate.
In the steamship company case, the
high tribunal denied the boards pc
tition for a review of the Fifth Cir
cult Court of Appeals ruling against
the order which grew out of labor dis
putes among crews Of two P. and o.
vessels, the Florida and the Cuba,
while they were tied up in Jackson
vile, Fla, early in June, 1887.
Had Union Contract
2. and Q. had been operating under
a labor contract with the Interna-
tional Seamen's Union, an A. F. of L.
affiliate. While the vessels were tied
up in Jacksonville, however, organ
izers for the C. LOS National Mari
time Union talked with members of
the ships crews and persuaded many
of them to change their affiliation to
the N. M. u.
The vessels were held up two days
as a result of a sit-down strike which
ensued. The board found that none
Of the men were discharged at that
time, but that the ships officers talked
against the N. NJ. u. and urged the
men to retain their l. S. U. member
ship.

 Marriage is a for-better-or-for- worse contract, too. But we make exceptions.

Glonfwng Yourself

To the line about men seldom making passes at girls who wear glasses we'd like to add, hoping Dor othy Parker won't mind, unless they wear glasses that suit their faces as well as hats and makeup that are exacly right"
 No smart be-spectacled woman will, for example, wear hat with brim so wide that it casts heavy shadows across the glasses. Neither will she wear 8 lavishly trimmed one which draws all eyes to her head and, consequently to the glasses. She'll put her rouge fairly high and, of course, apply it ever so sparingly She'll use lipstick lavishly, eschew dangling earrings, try to figure out a coiffure which is not severe but at the same time not fussy.
 It's possible, as your eye specialist will tell you, to get glasses that har- monize with the general contour of your face and with bows that match exactly your skin tones. If you have been told to wear them all the time, better have pairs for evening and dress-up as well as for day. time.
 Once you have your glasses, re- solve once and for all to be as per- fectly groomed as possible. Don't try to make wave do just one more day when you know very well that it's time to go to the hair dresser. Keep collars and cuffs, gloves and hats spic and span. Wear neatly tailored but not mannishly tailored clothes. And don't go in for fluffy, little-girl effects, no matter how much you like them. Ribbons and bows and dirndls are as inappropriate as severe. man. tailored suits or straight, all-black shirtwaist dresses, unrelieved with a touch of color or bright jewe1ry.

ELEMENTARY PROCESS IS AUTOMATICALLY REGULATED

ALIMENTARY PKOCESS 1S
 AUTOMATICALLY REGULATED Here is a phenomenon which the neurOtic, malnourished, uneducated or misinformed individual (be he university graduate or plain moron) cannot understand, namely, that a healthy, carefree, normal happy -go- lucky person, eating freely of what ever the table affords, regardless of its digestibility, enjoying a good meal, in cheerful company, without concern about calories, Starches or the condition of the bowel, gener- ally has little or no trouble with his digestion or his bowels. On the other hand, the neurotic himself almost invariably suffers from functional derangement of stom- ach, intestine or colon, and as rule depends more or less on one or an- other artificial stimulus or aid to these functions to keep him going -or what he childishly imagines Is an aid.
 The fundamental anatomical or physiological fact which the aver age college-trained individual fails to comprehend is that the volun- tary or conscious cerebro-spinal nervous system does not control any part of the alimentary function. The action of the bowel Is con- trolled entirely by the unconscious involuntary, autonomic or automat- ic sympathetic" nervous mechan- ism, the same automatic mechan- ism as that which controls the acc ton of the heart and the lungs, the same as that which controls or regulates the excretion of sweat and the cooling of the body. No one has any serious concern about regulating" his heart beat or breathing, for of course every one knows that these vegetative func- tions are automatically controlled and require no consideration or att tention-indeed they are best con- trolled when one forgets them al- together.
 The alimentary or bowel function or functions are under the same control as the other vegetative or vital functions and require no more thought or consideration on the part of the individual than does the beating of the heart. The only rea- son why the badly misinformed lay- man cannot grasp this truth is that he has been brought up on almanac and testimonial hokum which the nostrum and Quackery interests have fed the public for many years. The layman assumed the hokum was true, since the medical profess sion never unbent enough to ques-

SYSTEM EASES DIsHwAsH1NG

There's no hard and fast rule about dishwashing but, generally speaking, most housewives find the task expedited by washing them in the following order: glasses, silver, cups and saucers, plates, platters and serving dishes; then kitchen cutlery and lastly cooking utensils. Stacking and storing the leftover food before washing the dishes gives more room in the kitchen to work, and soaking the cooking utensils as soon as they are emptied eliminates a lot of scrubbing and polishing.

Being translucent but not transparent, the glass blocks provide complete seclusion yet admit a flood of natural daylight that lends a bright, cheerful note to the color full surroundings.
 An advantage especially appre- ciated by builders and home own CTS is that the glass blocks are hollow and partially evacuated and have insulating properties that tend to make the added space iveable the year-round.
