STREAMLlNlNG
OUR ARMY

(Oroville Mercury -RegiSter)
Americans have never looked with
favor on a large standing army. 1t has
not been necessary because of this coun-
try'S isolation from Asia and Europe
and the fact that fortified boundaries
need not be maintained either to the
north or south.
But the world is changing, or rather
is lapsing again into 4 condition in which
no nations except those which are pre-
pared and strong are safe from the dam
ger of attack by those which recognize
only military might.
The countries which earnestly desire
to live at peace with the world, must be
ready to defend their live and let live
policy with arms, if necessary.
1t is this realization that is behind the
Presidents proposal to streamline the
United States army. to make it the most
mobile national defense in the world.
Our navy, which would be our first
line of defense has the respect of the
world.
Today, it is almost as important that
we have an army that would be equipped
to hit hard and effectively in event of an
invasion. With the destiny of millions
in the hands of one or two men who rule
by force and military might, no nation
even the United States with its seeming
isolation, can permit its defenses to lag
too far behind those Of the dictator ma
tiOnS.

WAGE-H0UR LAW POINTS
TO A TRULY WORTHY GOAL

For better or for worse, the so-called
Wage-Hour law is in effect.
Months will pass before the country
really knows wherein lie the weak points
of the legislation. When congress con-
venes in January, there is certain TO be
a campaign TO amend the law By then
the weaknesses should be apparent
With the aims of the wage-hour law
we can see no dispute.
1t merely attempts to hurry the thing
which has been a distinct trend in IN
dustry itself for many years. 1t aims.
in fact, at a truly worthy goal
If amendments proposed in January.
or later, can help attain this goal, then
they will deserve support. If, on the
other hand, they are proposed purely
for political or partisan reasons. or to
kill the law itself by crippling its effec-
tiveness, they should be closely scrutin-
lied until their real purpose is laid bare.
Fifty years ago a 16-hour day in in
dustry was not unusual.
Today we would regard an employer
who required l6 hours of work day
from his employees as distinctly anti
social.
Not so long ago the 1O-hour day was
regarded as the usual thing in factories
and other industries. Soon that, too, was
outmOded.
1t is not hard to remember now when
there was considerable agitation in ia
vor of the eight-hour day. 1t has become
an established fact in most industries.
Now, under federal law. we have the
44-hour week. And with it we have a
minimum wage provision starting at %
cents an hour. Neither provision is eX-
tremely harsh, and in most industries
there will be little trouble meeting both.
1t has long been the trend of industry
toward shorter working hours and higher
wages A federal law which, in effect,
makes an official record of this trend
should be welcomed, for it has two re-
suits:
1t provides for the laborer official as
surance that his employer shall cooper
ate with other employers in maintaining
high standards.
1t assures the employer that he will
not be forced to pay a penalty for pro-
gressiveness by having to meet unfair
competition from others less scrupulous
than himself.

FUN AT THE FAIR

(ChrlStlan Science M0nltOr)
Tastes and fashions change in amuse-
ments as in other things. and probably
the taWdry midWays of some previous
worlds fairs would not click today. Yet
it is gratifying that the management
Of the New York Worlds Fair of 1899
promises that the amusement features
will be clean and that "barkerS' will be
banned. Public backing for such policy
is already articulate. The National COun-
Gil of Women has adopted resolution
to continue its interest in the positive
program" to bar commercial amuSe-
ments of an unWholesome and illegal
nature" A hint Of vigilance as we'll as
approval, no doubt.
1t was said assurance had been given
that no shows would be allowed which
would not be permitted on Broadway
The use of Broadway as a yardstick of
decency may have its limitations. but
plans already announced for stage and
musical offerings at the exposition indi-
cate that attractions surprising those of
other fairs in merit and scope are in
prospect. Thus there is an opportunity,
not merely to curb tarnished amuse-
ments, but, constructively, to provide
meritOriOus entertainment for visitors
from all over the world and to promote
higher standards in entertainment for
the masses.
Of course, the exhibits themselves will
dwarf the amusement features, and will
not only dramatic mankind's progress
in many fields but will afford preview
of aspects of the world of tomorrow. Yet
popular amusements will be an impor-
tant part of the streamlined panorama
and it is right that they should be kept
in harmony with the educational content
of the exposition.

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
If Peace Was Saved Why Do They Re-am?

If the four-power settlement of
ihe Czech problem was worth all
Il cost because it brought peace To
Europe, it is mortally queer that
the rearmament program should be
enjoying such thriving health right
loW.
A full fortnight after Mr.. Cham
berlain's dearly bought solution" to
the crisis had gone into the rec
ords, a United Press survey showed
that all the powers involved were
polishing their guns just as fever
lshly as if the crisis we're still ahead
OF them.
London announces that Britain
rill insist on parity with the strong
est air force that may be created
III Europe. Sir John Simon declares
mat preparedness is even more es-
sential to BriOin nov than 1t Was
IN 1914.
Simultaneously, Berlin declares
that Germany has the worlds
strongest air force and aims to keep
on having it, and German spokes-
men point to the British declara-
ton as proof that Germany must
continue 10 re-arm at top speed
AT the same time France votes
S62 100000 for new weapons and
plans to extend the Maginot line
all along the Swiss border Belgium
meanwhile, announces a plan to
throw cham of heavy forts along
both the French and German
frontiers, And Russia gees ahead
with an expensive plan to arm and
defend the Ukraine.
Now all of thos does not sound
precisely like the inauguration of an
era of peace and understanding.

A HIGH CALLING
AWAITS THEM

The state of California this week admit
ted 308 applicants to practice law be-
fore state courts.
Awaiting each of those 3OS persons is
an opportunity for unbounded service to
his community and his state, for each
is entering a profession that is truly
worthy of respect
Yet each faces the pitfall of tempta-
tions to debase himself and his high pro-
fession by STOPPING to the practice of
shyster methods.
Because it holds the opportunity for
exalted service, the legal profession also
holds the opportunity for unbounded
transgression, for personal littleness and
for professional degradation.
For the legal profession there will be
universal greatness when every attorney
and every judge places justice above
precedent and human rights above unin-
tended technicalities.

once to Go some research work On
the cause and cure of the common
cold. Nc on knows precisely
what the cause is; but several
medical men nave confided to me
that about the only cure is to 90
10 bed and stay there. One ply
sician said to me: when my own
daughter gets a cold, | put her TO
bed. give her a cathartic, give her
YER little TO eat and make her
drink a great deal Of water. She
stays there until her body rests and
builds up enough reserve energy to
throw off the cold
Knowing little about it, beyond
what I have read, I am inclined to
believe that many people over fortr
do themselves far more harm than
good by taxing violent exercise. Last
summer in the Alps, I saw men
and women. who normally spent
their day indoors, rush away for
two weeks vacation of mountain
climbing-one of the most grueling
Of all forms Of exercise. They re-
turned exhausted, feeling that they
had built up strength for another

pilgrim, Fathers
By RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON.-In 1920 the Fill
grim Fathers of the Massachusetts,
colony. faced with a labor shortage,
passed a law providing thai car
penters, joiners, bricklayers, saWyers
and thatchers shall not take above
two shllings a day"
In 1888, on Oct. "a, in a period of
great unemployment, a federal law
will go into effect which sets a
minimum hourly wage rate of 25
cents and maximum work week
of A hours. with time and one-half
fol overtime.
The law is the Fair Labor Stan
dards Act.
Employers and employees still are
asking which workers are covered
and which are not. Aside from
certain exemptions made in the
law. the Wage and Hour Division
in general classifies those covered
as:
4. Employees engaged in produc-
ing, manufacturing, mining, hand
ling. transporting or in any man
her working Oh goods moving in in
terstate commerce.
q Employees engaged in any pro-
cess Or occupation necessary to the
production of such goods
g. Employees engaged in inter
state transportation, transmission
CT communication.
Further Interpretation by the di-
visions general counsel says that
except for the stated exemptions,
all the employees, III a place Of en-
ployment where goods shipped O.
sold in interstate commerce were
produced are included i'll the Gov
erage
Employees in manufacturing pro-
c"ssing CT distributing plants. "a
part Of whose goods moves in co.,
n. cree out of the state in which
the plant is located" are covered.
Employees Of a plant which received
raw materials from within the
state and sells goods only within
the state are not covered by the
act.
Beginning Oct. "A. 1889. the stat
utory work week will be AZ hours
and after the second year of the
act, only 40 hours. The minimum
hourly wage rate will be raised
from 25 10 30 cents, a year from
now, and will be pushed to 40 cents
on Get "a, 1945
Due TO lneager funds, less than
half the divisions u regional Of
fees will be opened this fall.
Employees may bring suit for un-
paid minimum wages or unpaid
overtime, and employers violating
wage and hour requirements are
liable for such sums plus an equal
amount TO cover damages, court
costs and attorney fees.
1t will be unlawful to ship or
sell in interstate commerce any
goods produced where person was
employed in violation of the wage
or hour sections, to discriminate
against any complaining emploTc,
to fail to keep the required records
or TO falsify any requiring record.
Penalties are a fine up to $4,000
and Imprisonment for up to six
months. the latter for second Of
tenders only.
Specifically exempted from both
wage and hour provisions are az
ricultural workers, seamen. en-
ployes of airplanes, street car, mo-
tor bus, interurban railways and
of weekly or semi-weekly neWs-
papers of less than 5000 circula-
