Washington, D. c., Oct. 26.-The
federal government began regulat-
ing wages and hours of thousands
of workers Monday under the most

at midnight last Monday, began or

ton that its purpose was not to
hound" business men but to pro-
tect decent" employers against
ruinous competition.
In the capital the rush to issue
regulations and explanations to the
public was reminiscent of the early
day of MIRA. But at the helm, in
stead of Gen. Hugh S. johnson, now
out of the new deal and critical OF
it, was Elmer F. Andrews, former
New York state industrial commits
Sioner. :
'Pillar of Sound System"
Speaking to the nation by radio
Andrews said the law was not de-
signed to remake the nation, but
that it should become zone of the
pillars of a sound economic system
in the United States"
He declared the administration ex-
pected the provision for an immedi-
ate minimum wage of Is cents an
hour in interstate commerce to re-
suit in wages considerably higher
than that.
''Our experience with state mini
mum wage laws proves that the
minimum does not become the max
imum, despite the loud forebodlngs
of opponents of that type OF legls-
lation," Andrews said.
The administrator contended the
new law was largely enforcing
because it gave every worker af-
fected by the act the right to sue
for double the amount of lawful
wages denied him, plus court costs
It deals only with wages and work
ing conditions, whereas the out
lawed national industrial recovery
act provided also for regulation OF
trade practices.
The statute applies only to indus
tries in interstate commerce. It is
intended to bring about 4O-hou1
work week and minimum wage Of
40 cents an hour in such industries
eventually. But, for the first year
an employees regular work week
may be A hours, and he may be
paid as little as Is cents an hour.
For the next six years, the gener.
al minimum wage will be 80 cent:
an hour; after that, 40 cents. The
maximum work week will be re-
duced progressively during the Sec
ond and third year to ~ hours anc
then 40.

GOLF MARK SET
BY PATTY BERG

CHICAGO, Aug. IL dN.s).
Youthful Patricia Patty" Berg,
of Minneapolis, today took charge
of the winners cup at Butterfield
Country Club here, her reward for
finishing first in the women'S
Western golf derby.
Patty scored a total of 308
strokes to shatter previous 72-hole
records and beat out Marion Miley,
of Lexington, KY, three-time
previous winner, by 10 strokes.
Mrs. Opal Hill, of Kansas City,
scored 38-38-76 to capture third
place in the derby.
Miss Miley was the first to con-
gratulate her victorious rival, who
finished as runner-up in the event
the three consecutive years in
which Miss Miley won.
Miss Berg left no doubt this
year that she was determined to
win from the first tee. Her initial
round of 73 was far under par
and established an 18-hole record
for the event.
She followed with rounds Of 78,

TH|NCUMABOB
IS DESTROYED

SARATOGA, Aug. 12.-The rae.
ing colony of this swank thorough
bred center was still saddened
today by the untimely destruction
of Thingumabob. which all hands
agreed left an unbroken path TO
the two-year-old championship at
El Chico.
Opinion is still divided as to the
exact cause of the broken leg
which was suffered by the son of
Boojum yesterday, making it nee
eSSary to dispose of him.
Some believe the accident came
about when Mrs. Charles Payson's
thoroughbred stepped in a hole as
Jockey Eddie Arcaro tried to i'm
prove his fourth place position by
coming through the inside. How
ever, the stewards ruled, after a
Commute investigation, that Ariel
Toy was to blame, and he was dis
qualified. Owner w. Jackson re-
fuses to believe Ariel Toy was re-
Sponsible.
The field finished with Ariel
Toy first, Birch Rod second and
Tariler third, but the throng was
little interested in the finish. All
eyes were fixed on the helpless
Thingumabob. A patrol judges car
rushed up and brought Jockey
Arcaro to the paddock and the
horse ambulance hauled away the
gallant stricken thoroughbred.

stitches are necessary.
When this is the case, the
wound should first be made
sanitary and then sewed with
a curved needle threaded with
the proper material. Sometimes
only one stitch is required, but
often many are necessary to
perfect a union of the torn
tissues.
Wounds in a dog, if serious,
do not heal in three or four
days, as is frequently true with
human beings who are able to
take care Of themselves prop
erly. This Is especially true
when stitches are found to be
necessary to close a cut because
the animal, unless resting, will
not be satisfied to lie quietly
and will attempt to loosen the
stithes with his teeth. There
fore, a muzZle should be worn
by nervous pets until the proper
time arrives for the stitches to
be taken out. The continuous
changing of bandages is also
advisable at times, in order to
prevent infection, but usually
collodion new skim painted on
rapidly with a soft brush is
all that is required in healing
minor cuts.
Fractures may occur in almost
any of the bones of the dog, but
little relief can be afforded, save
by a veterinarian who will, in
all probability, ex-ray the break
before setting it. Broken bones
which are not obvious, may be
best detected by inexperienced
dog owners by handling injured
parts or listening for q faint
cracking sound which may be
heard when the injured part Is
moved. When ribs have been
broken, the injury is usually
easily discovered by the depres-
sion which is felt and a grating
sound produced in breathing.
DislocationS Of the shoulder
and elbow occur rarely save by
accident, but are not infrequent
in the knee and toes. Deformlty
occurring in any Of these joints
is easily discovered.
Dogs that are suffering from
fractures should be kept quiet

IN SKINS DRILL
Ex-Kansas State Ace in
Fine Condition
BY CHICK KENNY

ARLINGTON, Va. Aug. IL.
Maurice Red" Elder, sorrel-
thatched rookie fullback from
Kansas State in the Big Six cir
cult, apparently is headed in the
right direction in his quest for q
berth with the Washington Red
skins, world professional football
champions. Here at Ballston
Stadium, where the Redskins
opened their third day Of train
ing, Elder has caught the eye Of
coaches and fans alike.
He reported in fine condition
with the first batch Of rockies
who descended upon Washington
late last week, and he proved the
standout on the Georgetown Prep
football field in the secret work
out last Saturday afternoon.
JOINED LATE
Elder was drafted by the Red
skins last year, but business plans
forced him to decide against
football at the time. However,
after watching several games
during the 1887 season, he felt
the urge to play again. ConSe.
quently, when the Redskins barn.
stormed into Houston, Texas, last
winter, Red" put in an appear
ance and finished out the tour
with the club-Seeing action in
the finale of the post-season
trek at Miami, Fla, against the
Chicago Bears.
But at Miami, the layoff Of a
season showed itself. The Kansas
State ace was a trifle hefty about
the vast, causing him to be con-
siderably slow. But it was decided
that Elder was in earnest about
the game and could whip himself
into condition by the time the
1888 training grind rolled around.
The Redskins guessed right, as
the Kansas redhead is in fine con-
dition and well advanced in his
training buildup at this time.
He Is one Of the fastest sprint
ers on the field and the manner
in which he is plugging away for
a position is bearing the close
scrutiny Of the vets as well as the
youngsters.
SCRIMMAGE NEAR
Elder hits the scales at 1876
pounds and stands an even six
feet. The chances are, he will add
to his weight during the next
couple Of weeks and should be
scaling about 10 pounds over the
200 mark.
At the rapid clip in which the
Redskin team is rounding into
shape, it would not he surprising
if Coach Ray Flaherty issues the
call for the pads tomorrow. Should
his be the case, then the team
can look forward for the first
body contact no later than Mon
day, with the possibility of a light
scrimmage by Tuesday afternoon.
Bill Moore, an end, and Bill
Hartman a back, are the latest
aquisitions to the Redskin squad.
Moore arrived by plane late yester-
day from his home in California.
Last season he played with the
Los Angeles Bulldogs. He was
graduated from North Carolina in
1886. Hartman. drafted by the
Redskins last winter comes from
the University of Georgia with an
enviable reputation in South
eastern Conference play. Two
weeks ago Hartman announced
that he would not play football,
pursuing a law business instead.
However, he had a change of
heart early yesterday and notified
the Redskin management he
would be on deck today.
This morning, waivers were
asked on Halfback Eddie Britt,
former Holy Cross star, who has
been with the club for the past
two years.
