Attorney Qes+ions

Of S+o+e PoyLow
Dry Cleaning Chain Owner
Would Disregard the
Minimum Wage

Columbus, o. (OLNS). - Constitu-
tionality of mandatory wage orders
issued under the state minimum wage
law has been questioned by Stanley
Schwartz, local attorney, representing
Marie Amarosa, dry cleaning chain
owner, who has had considerable diff
fculty with enforcement agents Of the
minimum wage division.
Charged with failing to pay the
minimum wage set for the dry clean
ing industry, Mrs. Amarosa appeared
before Municipal Judge Fred j. Miller.
Her attorney has been given until
March 81 to file a brief in support Of
his argument on the constitutionality
of the law.
Specific question raised is based on
the right of wage boards to set pay
schedule for an industry, followed by
a mandatory order issued by the Di-
rector Of the Department of Indus
trial Relations. Schwartz claims this
evades the veto power Of the Cover
nor in respect to laws.
The state minimum wage law, en-
acted in 1888, has successfully with
stood attacks on its constitutionality
on number of occasions
Following delays caused by eight
trial postponements, Mrs. Amarosa
was found guilty Of minimum pay
violation in the Dayton police court
last week. Sentence was not pro-
nounced pending filing of an appeal by
her attorney in that case.

No Explanation Offered for Planet Mystery

Astronomers of the late Nine
teenth and early Twentieth CEN
turtles spent some 40 years disprov-
ing the discovery of a new planet
between Mercury and the sun,
writes DR.. Heber D. Curtis, director
of the University of Michigan OBJ
servatories, in an article in the
Michigan Alumnus Quarterly Re-
view.
During the total eclipse of 1878,
says DR.. Curtis, two bright, star
like objects near the sun were OBJ
served by Michigan's Prof. James
Craig Watson, one of America
leading astronomers and, according
to former President James B. An
CELL, the most brilliant man ever
graduated from the University of
Michigan. The existence of planet
inside the orbit of Mercury had long
been predicted by theoretical as
tronomers, he writes, although the
body had never been seen. Wat
sons observations, therefore, he
says, were heralded as the discov-
cry of new member of our plan
etary family. Confirming Watson's
discovery, he adds, were the OBJ
servations of Prof. Lewis Swift, who
saw one of the bodies only a few
seconds later than Watson during
the same eclipse.

total eclipse of 1918 did scientists
give up Watson's discovery as
mistake, although no one had ever
been able again to observe either
of his two intramercurial bodies.
During each eclipse from 1878 until
that time, astronomers set up and
ran intramercurial cameras in the
search for Vulcan, as the "theoret-
ical' planet had been named.
''These famous observations Of
Watson's," DR.. Curtis asserts, "defy
any satisfactory explanation. Per-
haps as probable theory as any is
that he saw a moderately bright
comet with an almost stellar nu-
cleus." The relatively strong illurni-
nation of the sky background, he
explains, would have prevented the
detection of a tail, while the failure
of astronomers to find the comet
after it had left the immediate vicin-
ity of the sun is explained by the
fact that all comets enormously de-
crease in brilliance as they leave
the sun, and small one observed
near the sun might never be seen
again because it's light would di-
minish by hundreds of times within
a short time. While this theory may
explain one of Watson's intramer-
curial objects, says DR.. Curtis, no
explanation has been offered for the
other.

Presently, when the doctor came
out, Rundhia eyed him in the lamp
light with a stare that made the
Bengal finch. He did his best to
look like confidential, dignified re-
tainer, but it didn't work. Aunty had
broken his dignity, and his fear of
the Prince had no covering left. He
almost stammered:

regain the feeling of being impor-

Strange Facts
Jap Women Writer'S
Pagan Mistletoe
Russ Air Trains

Japan is believed to be the only
country in which all the best writ
ers are women. In fact, japanese
literature, for more than a thou
sand years, has possessed few, if
any, works of outstanding merit
that have been written by men.
Up to century or two ago, mis-
tletoe was excluded from the floral
decorations of churches at Christ
mastine because it was consid-
cred to be an unholy plant, hav-
ing been tainted with paganism
before the time of Jesus through
it's use and worship by the ancient
Druids.
Using "air trains" consisting of
airplanes towing seven gliders
each, the Russian army has dem
onstrated that it can drop, by par
achute, as many as $500 infantry
men at one tine.-Collier's.

Rundhia looked startled. The doc

Lynn Harding stood examining the
Rolls-Royce. She was quite used to
luxury, but even Hollywood owned
nothing like that thing. Its gadgets
and gold-plated adornments were a
sufficiently good excuse for giving
Aunty's temper time to cool off. So

ants, but a Maharanee is lucky
who endures only six eyes to watch
what she does, and six ears to hear

Lynn laughed: "Is that any of

own reflection in the mirror, not
quite liking it. She smiled at her
self, just to see what the smile
would look like.
The Maharanee returned from the
palace, excited, fawned on by four
women. Two meek men-servants
followed her with baskets of provi.
sions. Lynn ran to greet her. The
Maharanee almost squealed at the
sight of Lynn in black pajamas with
her golden hair massed in becom-

All the desks in the Office were

about the floor. The 5000 repre-
