had what might have BEEN an
embarrassing experience. She
lunched alone in a smart res
taurant, and when it came
time to pay the check she dis
covered, to her horror, that she
hadn't enough money.
She appealed to the manager, ask
ing him if he would cash a check for
the amount. He assured her that
he would. So she wrote the check
and he promptly framed it. Just
one more case where a well known

Europe. And nobody can blame her
for wanting to be rid of the movies
for while, at least. Bad pictures
have affected her bOx-Office value,
but when she fought for roles
that she knew would be good, she
didn't get them. Now that theatrical
producers go to Hollywood when
they want to cast new plays, 1t may
be that she will return to the stage
when that vacation is over.
Here's an odd note on the old
stage-screen battle. "Stage Door"
was very successful play. The
movies bought it and made it over
threw away the story and started
from scratch. Now some Of the
summer stock companies would like
to do the stage version, but one of
the authors, Edna Ferber, won't re-
lease it to them-because she feels
that the film version was so much
better than the original!
Next time you see cobweb on
the screen think Of the man who is
H0llywOOd's expert cObweb-maker,
Jess Wolf. His most recent assign
ment was constructing more than
two miles of cObwebs for a castle
in Warner Brothers ''Kidnaped."
He has gadget that squirts rub
Der compound in tiny thread. Then
he weaves the threads into a cob
web pattern, and sprays them with
gray paint.

to come from these days. Remem-

w. G. Fields, who's out Of movies
for the time being, may return to
the radio program which he desert
ed months ago. He left then be-
cause Of a disagreement over
scripts. The same reason was CIV
en- for his movie contracts being
terminated. Meanwhile Charlie Nc
Carthy has become so popular on
that radio program that one can't
help wondering if there is a place
for Fields.
-
It's becoming more and more evil
dent that radio programs coming
from cities and stations outside
New York are better than a lot of
those broadcast from the big city.
One reason is that fast-talking
agents can sell talent that isn't
really very good. Questioned
not long ago about the success of
a certain singer her agent broke
down and confessed all-told about
how she had been built up, pushed
ahead; how he landed this contract

With No Labor Faction.

abilities are he will not be man tied
In directly with a labor union.
Real Job on His Hands.
The new administrator, whoever he
may be, will have q real job on his
hands. The law does not Ak IS cents
m hour - the minimum wage for the
f1rst year-nor 80 cents an hour for
the next six years. It merely says that
the minimum wage shall not be less
than rs cents in the first year. and
not less than 80 cents in the next six
years. The administrator and his
industry committees may boost the
ante to 20 any time they see 1t-in
the first year or thereafter. 1t is ex-
pected the administrator will tackle
first industries which pay already
minimum wages as high or higher
than rs cents an hour, relying on the
law to take care OF the workers in the
lower paid industries. That is some
thing for industry to think about,
whether 1t be in the North or the
South.
How many workers will be affected
by the provisions of the new law II
still something of conundrum. There
are many exemptions, for example,
workers employed in executive, ad-
ministrative, professional or local re-
failing capacity: statesmen, seamen,
workers In the fish industry, in agri-
culture and horticulture, in handling
agricultural commodities for market
ing or making cheese or butter, rail-
road workers and air line employees.
None Of these Is covered IN this law.
On the other hand, the great groups
OF workers in factorieA mills, plants,
mines, quarries, In retailing that goes
into interstate commerce, are all
affected.
The Department Of Labor has es-
timated numbers of workers who may
be affected by the wage-hour law
right away. but the figures are based
on industrial activity in this country
for 1887. to which it Is hoped to re-
turn. This year industry is way
down, and t e figures will have to be
taken with a grain of salt. In August
last year it Is estimated. there were
100000 salary and wage workers
In manufacturing, OF whom $500, 900
were working more than 40 hours a
week. In mining, petroleum produc-
ton. wholesale trade it Is estimated
there were $500, 900 more workers, of
whom 100000 worked more than 40
hours. In this connection, it must
be said that where an industry aver
ages 40 hours a week, many Of the
employees work more than 40 hours.
Many of them are paid overtime, how
ever
Number Benefited Uncertain.
In the matter Of wages, the De-
partment estimated that a minimum
of 40 cents per hour would have af-
fected from 100000 to 1000, 900
workers. With q minimum wage as
low as rs cents an hour, fewer
would have been affected. and should
be affected today. 1t must be re-
membered, too. that fewer persons
are working, because of the depres-
sion. The Accent minimum wage,
however, as already indicated, may
be established quickly in many in
dustrtal plants by the administrator
and his committees So it Is difi-
cult to come to any definite conclu-
sion regarding numbers Of workers
who will benefit soon. Certainly there
will be very considerable number

The general allays, rather than
augments, imaginative speculations
that new chemicals will wipe out mil
lions at one blow from deadly gas con-
tainers. Neither populations nor aas
containers can be so concentrated at
one time, the general says. Nor are
gases, an element contrary to this
country's policy of warfare except in
defense, going to win the next war
alone. The general makes that point
clear. Chemical soldiers are only a
pant Of the military forces, along with
artillery and the air corps. 1T Is a

we are just part OF it,"

Government spent IS millions to de-

enlisted in the National Guard at 10;
served in the Spanish War; was COM

mel. He was appointed by the Presi-

the President Is likely to avoid the
selection Of an administrator who Is
recognized as siding with either OF
the two labor factions.

labor congress. She took time by the
forelock, however, and sent Q list OF
names Of men she indorsed for the
lob of wage-hour administrator to
the White House. The President may
wish to consult her when she returns.
The minimum wage and maximum
hour provisions of the bill do not
become effective for four months, or
until about the middle of October, &C
there Is time for the President to look
the neld over carefully before he picks
this 'czar" Of industry-as some Of
the critics Of the new law call the
administrator. He can wait, If he
wishes, until Miss Perkins gets back
to America.
Early Set-Up Desired.
However, there Is q desire to get
the set-up for the administration of
the wAse-hour law under way with
as little delay as possible, to be ready
to function when October rolls around.
The law gives the administrator the
right to appoint industry COM
mittees" without delay. 1t says, IN
fact. that he shall appoint "as soon
Is practicable" committee for each
industry engaged in commerce or in
the production of goods for commerce.
These committees are to recommend,
also - soon as possible, the highest
minimum wage which the industry
will bear, having due regard to eco
nomic and competitive conditions, "
and which will not substantially cur
tail employment. II the administrator
