Wage Hour Law
 Applies Terr.
 X Possessions

WASHINGTON, Oct. IF (P)-
 Administrator Andrews said the
 new wage hour law applies to
 employees of the territories and possessions of the U. s. just as it does to the workers of the forty eight states, but it doesn't cover the Philippine Islands.
 He said "Congress might have extended the act to purely local commerce within the District of Columbia or within territory or possession in virtue of national legislative powers over such pol itical units, but CongreS did not do so. However, employees must be engaged in commerce or pro- duction goods for commerce, and commerce is defined as meaning trade, commerce, transportation, transmission and communication among several states or from any state to any place outside there of. A state is defined as meaning any state of the U. s. or District of Columbia or any territory or possession"

The big suspense is over-the voice of the ballot again speaks and little Mss Ruby O'Farrell emerges as Queen of the N. w. Alaska Fifth Annual Fair and Festival. Ruby is, you might say. a true chip off th parental tree, for her gracious mother, one of Nome's pioneer ladies, as Miss Jennie Martin reigned over Nome's winter festival away back in 1913. The present Queen race was hotly contested and a great deal of enthusiasm aroused not only on the part of the young sterS but also in hte ranks of Nome's older generation.
 The Queen will be crowned next Friday evening at the Fair Building, following the children's parade.
 All votes cast in the Queen con test from the opening day until z:OO pm. today were counted and checked by Mrs. Vim. Bar Der, Supt. of the Fairs Child Division, Mrs. Isadore Fix and MT. Arthur Wright.
 The boxes were collected and unlocked in the presence of these three, as well as the locked box containing all the votes placed in the uptown boxes prior to last Friday.
 Little Miss Mae Castell sent in a notice of withdrawal Saturday, asking that her votes to date, be transferred to one of the other contestants. This however, could not be done as once a name is written in and placed in a ballot

German Spies Claim Their
 Innocence

NEW YORK, Oct, IT (P) - Attorneys for the three alleged German spies, described their clients as framed and innocent, after US Attorney Lamar Hardy told the Federal Court jury that they had penetrated some of the innermoSt secrets of this coun- try's military defense. The pro- secutor took an hour and twenty minutes to outline the govern mentS case against Johanna Hoffman, Otto Herman Voss, and Erich Glaser.
 Glaser's attorney said he was a hard-working boy, and he assert ed that the secret aviation code he was accused of stealing was something one might buy in a newsstand.
 The girls attorney said she was an innocent dupe who was framed. Counsel Stoss asserted, There is absolutely no connec- tion between my client and the other defendants as far as this conspiracy is concerned.
 Hardy asserted that the defend ants, with fourteen others, who are now fugitives, are members of a German spy ring which sent to Berlin, data on American ar tillery forces in the Panama Can al one Notifications, two U. S. aircraft carriers, and information concerning the strength of the American Navy on the East coast.

An amount of $3,5OO,OOO for con-
struction on the Blue Ridge Park
way during the year ending July l.,
1899, was voted by the Congress of
the United States as part of the In
terror Department Bill, which car

the national parks. These new
funds bring the total Of money,
therefore, to the parkway to about
$14,00O,00o.
Plans for work under this fund in

Of the parkway south from Rock

a possibility that the parkway will

In North Carolina, the plans call

of IA miles, and the construction of

A number of bridge contracts, and
contracts for additional paving
work, guard rail and landscaping

Allover the country women are chang

ofscraping and scrubbing dishes, pots
and pans to get them clean, they now
soak the dishes for a few minutes in
the New Rinse suds. In an amazingly
short time the lively Rinse suds soak
off the grease. Then all that has to be
done is to swish rinse 4. and let
them drain dry, if you wish.
This new way to wash dishes is not
only lots easier, but according to en-
thusiastic reports, the New Rinse is
marvelously economical to use, a little
goes so far even in hard water areas.
Women say that cup for cup, the New
Rinse gives over $50 more suds than
the old.

Historic 18th. Congress Was
Adjourned Last Thurs. Night
Record Peace-Time Appropria-
ton OF Over Fl Billion
Dollars Made.

The historic 18th. congress ad-
journed last Thursday night after a
420-day session in which it proved
record peace-time appropriations of
$21 $3.50, 174,0O0, of which SIS, 691, 000,-
600 was earmarked for recovery.
Among the last measures rushed
to President Roosevelt's desk for
signature were the $3,753, 900, 900
far subsidy and an appropriation for
100000 for administrative expens
es of the Rural Identification Ad-
ministration in the recovery bill.
Carriers Forgotten
High among problems left unset
tied by the legislators was the fl
nancial crisis in the $26,000,00 900
railroad industry. Legislation which
would have iberalized Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation loans to
the hard-hit carriers was thrown
overheard in the adjournment
scramble.
Chairman John O'Connor (D), N.
Y, of the powerful House rules
committee, forecast a special ses-
sion to meet the situation. House
Majority Leader Sam Rayburn (D),
Texas, said the administration hopes
that an anticipated revival in bust
mess will ease the cricis, but indicat-
ed a special session might be neces-
sary if the depression continues.
Business Practices Probed
Shortly before the curtain was
wrung down on the tumultuous ses-
sion, President Roosevelt signed a
resolution which will initiate the
most searching inquiry of business
practices made since the famous Pu-
jo investigation of the money trust"
in 1912 The legislation, enacted at
the Presidents request, is fore
word to antitrust measures expect
ed to be on the administrations leg
islative agenda at the next session.
Roosevelt Comes Back
But there were ample indications
that Mr.. Roosevelt had accomplished
the unusual political feat of regain
ing control of Congress after it had
passed from him in stormy revolt
that started 80 days after the 18th
session began. The overpowering
Democratic majorities in both nous
es joined with frail minorities in
killing his Supreme Court enlarge
ment bill, scrapping his government
reorganization program, baking
temporarily at his wage-hours leg
islation, denying his request for
seven Little IVA. agencies and
then forcing him to accept drastic,
moderation Of harsh business tax
es. f 4
The usual adjournment night hi
inks and gaiety were absent as the
legislators ended their gruelling
meeting. The 435 members of the
House are up for reelection as are
So senators. They pondered on de-
parture the effect of their revolt
against the administration as
weighed against polls showing the
President is still popular among the
masses and on forecasts by Repub-
leans that they will grab upward
to so House. seats in the November
polling.
