KNOWS HOW TO DUCK

Someone told Administrator FL
mer Andrews that a Washington at
torney was promoting himself as
evasion counsel to help employers
duck the wage-hour act. Andrews
qunpped back: Guess Wen have to
hire him. We could use him at press
conferences
The measure does seem to reach
into queer places, some that Con-
gress probably never thought
about. Take the case of a watch
man at a small West Virginia fac
tory. He wrote into Andrews to
explain how the act cost him his
job He was getting SIS q week
and bed in the factory on con-
dition that he would do the night
watching seven nights a week.
That meant his pay was far less
than 25 cents an hour and for more
than AZ hours a week His boss
offered to make his pay Officially
enough to meet the requirements

Wage-Hour Law Doesn't
Seem to Affect Tipping

and seems to have the railroad
agreeing to that much. Walters and
pullman porters serving pillows and
pork chops between Paducah and
Chicago obviously are in interstate
commerce.
AS to redcaps, they probably
never cross a state line unless it
runs through the railroad station.
Nor do they manufacture stuff for
commerce, but the wage-hour adj
ministration has found they are a
part of the business of getting
people and their bags along the
channels of trade
The only matter left in doubt at
this point is Just how to determine
the wages of these people. The
railroads and station operators
have suggested that if redcap or
waiter collects $11 a week in tips,
he is already getting 25 cents an
hour for a 44-hour week as pre-
scribed by the act. The wage-hour
administration has not cat this
poinD accepted that idea.

Of Body
Found Near Sitka
Remains Mystery

Further word was received this
morning at the local Custom House
relative to the body of the man
whom Captain Cronin and Jack
Calvin recently found on the beach
in Kristoff Bay, near Sitka,
The body had the following iden-
tification marks: tattoo marks on
right arm, USM; tattoo marks on
chest, ACSA; tattoo mark on left
arm, MT; height about feet 10
inches.
N. E. Bolshanin, Deputy Collector
in Charge at Sitka in reporting fur
Their on the matter stated:
His right leg was broken and had
a piece of gunny sack tied around
the broken part. The doctor testi-
fled at the inquest that in his opin-
ion the man had been drowned and
drifted ashore about a month pre-
viously The man was poorly dressed,
or showed he had dressed in hurry
as he had sweater on for under
wear, also wore a mackinaW His
age was thought to be about go years
and his hair was light brown. No
one at Sitka could identify the
man and it is not thought here that
he was a member of either the Vol
ante or Alpha, the two vessels which
foundered IN Salisbury Sound"
Previous report on November Il
from Ketchikan was that the body
was that of George McDermott
captain of the Alpha out of Ketchi-
kan. Identification at that time was
made from reports from Sitka tt
Mrs. McDermott in Ketchikan. The
latest report from Sitka, however
would indicate that there is still
a question of identity

ARCHITECTS FIGHT
LOWER STANDARDS
Resolution Sent to Mcdonald
Resists Pressure for Move to
Boost Housing Volume.

Pressure is being brought to bear
on the Federal Housing Administra-
ton to lower its standards in order to
increase the volume of housing, the
American Institute OF Architects de-
clares in a resolution forwarded to
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator The institute urges
that this tendency "be strongly re-
sisted as contrary to public policy.
THE American Institute of Archi-
tects recognizes that the program of
insured mortgages inaugurated by the
Federal Housing Administration can
be defended as sound only if it is
based upon a set of reasonable min
inlum standards for the appraisal of
architectural and other property val
ues involved in each case" the reso-
luton sets forth.
The impartial appraisal of these
values by an insuring agency. inde-
pendent of the lending agency, pro-
vides check on overappraisal and
reduction of standards that is of
vital Importance to the whole struc-
ture Of real estate mortgages. The
practices prevalent during the 1930s
are sufficient proof of the above state
ment
"The American Institute of Archi-
tects fully realizes the tendency to
lower the bars in times of emergency,
and feels it is Of extreme Importance
that this tendency be strongly resisted
in the field of insured mortgages. The
validity Of the entire program will be
imperiled if insurance is granted on
the basis of substandard quality"

AIR IS GUARDED
Cities Now Take Precautions on
Use Of Conditioning Units.

The enormous increase in the use
Of air-conditioning equipment serves
to emphasize the need for taking pre-
cautions in the air supply, declares the
Modern Home Institute.
1t is particularly important to guard
the air in the air-washing compart-
ment from contamination. Health
authorities have found that, during
the periods OF the year when the
equipment is not used to add moisture
to the air, the fresh water seal in
the drain evaporates. Air from the
drain is then drawn into the chamber
and distributed through the house.
In order to overcome this condi-
tion the health departments in some
cities require that the fresh water seal
be periodically replenished.

A UGUST and September represent
the zero hour for most of the
troublesome weeks found in our flower
and vegetable gardens. BY now many
seeds have been set and the plant
dies down. The carpetweed, also
known as the Indian chickweed, or
whorled chickweed, shows up in May
1t Is a native and propagates itself
by seeds. Beginning with May and
until September, the weed pest
blooms. sets seeds, and continues this
act of self-preservation until the
frosts arrive.
From New Brunswick to Ontario
and Minnesota, southwark to the Gulf
OF Mexico, the carpetweed hastens
to cover the gardens, fields, waste
places and roadsides.
It Is so much like its pesky neigh
bors, the common chickweed and

met here, if not more personally in

Is a plant whose virtues are un-
known" but farmers can not be
made to accept anything virtuous
about this weed. You can even find
husky plants springing up between
the crevices of sidewalks in cities.
That is carrying things bit too far.
The stems reach a length of three
inches and may be even twelve inches
long. They are smooth and hug the
ground branching hither and thither
and covering lot of space, hence
Its name, carpetweed, which is ap-
propriate. The leaves are in whorls
OF f1ve or six, spatulate in form, ses-
sile, entire, and about one-half inch
long. There are so many of them
growing on the PROSTATE stems that
they form mat and are often so
healthy and flourishing that a beau
tlful green carpet covers large areas
Naturally the soil beneath this green
rug is deprived Of nourishing sub
stances, and after successful reign
OF the carpetweed, the farmer must
restore to his ground the ingredients
sapped from it by the weed pest.
