you find people forgettin
themselves, and thinking of
the other fellow-and hunt

much fun as a lot of more
publicized sports. In the eX-
element of the Christmas
rush there's sparkle that
cant be matched at any
other time of the year. If the

berculosis Sunday.
The Annual Christmas Health Seal
Campaign, of which tuberculosis Sun
day will be a part, will be opened on

the health of the people of Ohio. The
Ohio Public Health Association de-
pends upon your interest and support

If Regular Workweek Sturts
Before Oct. Oath. Change
Doesn't Apply

Cleveland, O.-The 4O-hour work
week for persons covered by the Fair
Labor Standards Act-employes en-
gagged in interstate commerce, engaged
n the production of goods for inter-
state commerce, or doing work neces-
sary to the production Of goods that
move in interstate commerce-will be-
come effective at 1901 a. M, on
Thursday, October "a, 1910.
When the Fair Labor Standards
Act, commonly known as the Fed
eral Wage and Hour Law, was passed
IN June rs, 1888 to become effective
four months later, Congress provided
he maximum workweek without pay
nent of overtime would be "a hours
during a workweek of seven consecu-
tive 24-hour days during the first
year, AZ hours during the second year
and 40 hours from October "a, 1910
20 October "a, 1915.
Employers whose regular workweek
starts before 1901 a. m., on October
ID, 1910 need conform only to the
i2-hour week and not to the 4O-hour
week during that workweek, according
% word received today by Miss Grace
:. Glascott, regional director of the
Wage and Hour Division, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, in Ohio and Michi-
gan, from Colonel Philip B. Fleming,
Administrator of the Division.
"The opinion has been expressed by
the Washington headquarters of the
Division that the 40-hour week will
apply for the first time to the first
full workweek beginning on or after
1901 a. m., October "a, 1940," she
said at the regional office, 728 Stand
ard Building, Cleveland.
"This is in accordance with the
language of the Act which declares
that employees shall not be worked
for workweek longer than 40 hours
after the expiration Of the second
year from the effective date Of the
Act
"If the employees workweek begins,
for example, on Monday, October 2l,
the employer need pay time and half
for overtime only if more than AZ
hours are worked in the seven con-
secutive days through Sunday, Octo-
Der 27. If it begins on Tuesday, Oc-
tober %, the same rule applies, as it
does for workweeks beginning on
Wednesday, October %.
However, if the employees work
week begins on or after 1901 a. M,
Thursday, October "a, the employer
must pay for overtime after the first
40 hours. For employers whose reg
ular workweek begins on Monday,
Tuesday or Wednesday, the 40-hour
provision will not become effective
until Monday, October %; Tuesday,
October 20, or Wednesday, October
80, respectively.
"The present statutory minimum
wage rate of 80 cents an hour remains
unchanged. This does not apply, how
ever, in cases where industry COM
mittees have recommended minimum
wages higher than the statutory mini
mum of 80 cents. The 30-cent rate
became effective October "a, 1889.
"Wage rates higher than the 3O-cent
minimum have become effective
through wage orders issued by the
Administrator in the hosiery, textile,
millinery, shoe, knitted underwear,
knitted outerwear, wooden, apparel,
leather and pulp and primary paper
industries, varying from 321a cents to
| the maximum Of 40 cents"

PIGEONS ON A SPREE

Commissioner WADE wants to give the city
hall pigeons one grand toot and, while they
are in the condition of loose livers on pay
day. scoop them up in dragnets and transfer
them to cages in Greenfield park to sleep off
their jag and serve out their allotted years
behind chi ken wire in atonement. That, at
least, would give them something to think
about in their captivity.
They've been doing it in New York, says
Mr.. WADE, with satisfactory results, so why
not here? Why not, indeed. 1t at least beats
the experiments in the national capital, where
~starlings have long been a pest.

The need, if Greenfield park is to continue

is for every person who enters its confines
to exercise the self discipline he would apply
