Hopeless Struggle

Textile concerns that are parties
to the suit brought in the United
States Supreme Court conteSting con-
>titutionality of the Wage-hour act
should know better. Far be it from
us to dispute that they are suffering
under its application, for we can
speak with firSthand information as
to its unmerciful sweep through the
ranks of small business.
Yet it is a forlorn hope to assume
that there is even remote prospect
of having the law nullified--not at
least in the high tribunal as it is at
present constituted
Every one who finds fault with
provisions Of the act naturally has
his own reasons, and reasons gained
from experience with its operations.
Such individuals would not be
hostile without feeling of injustice
being done, certainly injustice as
they see it.
In what we take to be the general
purpose Of the act, namely, elimina-
ton of SWeatShopS and ridiculouSly
low wages, it is doubtful if legitimate
fault could be found with the meas

A New Congressman

One of the tasks to face the State
legislature this winter will be that
Of reapportioning congressional dis
,rictS in North Carolina to allow fol
nm extra congressman to which the
State is entitled by reason of ifs
sharp population gain in the la$,
decade. as shown by the 1910 census
The other Of two reapportionment
struggles that are on the agenda re-
lateS to seats in the General AS
senbly itself, and that also is affect
ed by shifting populations.
OF the two tasks, the congressional
ecgrvmandering will be easier. The
principal consideration in that task
= To line up the counties in districts
in such a manner that they will al
V.avS be as safe as possible for Dem
ncracv-Spelled with 4 cap d. Every
effort will be made. too. to arrange
matters 81 that such shifts as are
found necessary will not deprive any
orrSent member of the national
House ul his seat. That feat WAS
achieved ten years ago when North
Carolina WAS stepped up from ten
20 eleven congressman. II now
moves from eleven To twelve.
There is the possibility. Of course.
that an alternative plan may be hit
upon, whereby the extra representa-
tive would bc Il COngreSSman-at-
large But reasons exist why that
would not be desirable. For one
thing. it would make such rep
reSentative responsible to the State
at large. as are the two senators, but
would leave him without anything
like the influence in the House that
i senator enjoys on the other end
of Capitol Hill. 1t would tend to re-
strict his prestige in the House itself,
vet leave him without the pulling
power back home that,a senator has.
II will be found entirely possible
10 rearrange the State into twelve
districts. and that is the plan that
should be followed 1t would, we
SllmiSe. be more to the liking Of
citizens generally and likewise to the
men who will represent the districts
in the lower branch of Congress.
BY gaining an additional rep
re>cntutivc. North Carolina moves
forward 10 greater distinction and

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There are mountains along the
western side Of the Sahara Desert.
This fact became clear to two
young men who set out to cross
the desert from Morocco to Egypt
10 years ago. They were aboard
an automobile, and found the Atlas
Mountains extremely hard to get
over.
One Of the travelers-the one
who owned the car-was a Dane.
His name was Knud Helmboe. He
had been brought up as a Chris
tian, but had changed to the Mo-
hammedan faith.
The other was Alb Deslam, ma
tive of Morocco. He had heard
that Holmboe was soon to make
the journey, and had asked to go
along.
The car was q six-cylinder af-
fair Of American make. 1t was
open, and for that reason would
not protect those in 1t in case of
a sandstorm. Several extra cans Of
gasoline were placed inside the car
before the journey started.
Leaving Ceuta, in Spanish Mo-
rocco, they drove southwark to the
city of Fez. Then they went east
to Ujda and turned south again,
this time heading for Figig.

desert, and found it very cold.
The next morning they were able
to get the car started again, and
before long saw smoke rising from
a spot not far ahead of them, on
the side of one of the ridges of the
Atlas Mountains.
Driving toward the smoke, they
reached a village of a sort. In it
lived so-called "cave dwellers Of
the mountains" The natives had
dark brown skins, but their features
were not those of Negroes.
An old man in the village spoke
in Arabic to the visitors, asking
them how far they were going. In
reply they named a city which he
had never heard about.
Before they left, the old man
gave them hen as a present.

South had a rather shabby vul-
nerable overcall to begin with, and
felt that he had stretched" even
more when he bid five hearts. He
felt pretty sure, however, that the
opponents would make four spades
and felt equally confident that he
would not be badly hurt at five
heart contract.
When West bid five spades, North
promptly doubled. He didn't care
whether or not his partner had any
defensive strength at all; North ex-
pected his strength in the minor
suits to provide the three tricks
necessary to defeat five spades. In
that decision he was, of course, per-
fectly correct.
But South had no confidence in
his partner, feeling that North was
relying on a defensive trick or two
in the South hand. Sure that the
opponents would make five spades,
South ran out" to six hearts. Good
defense set him four tricks, so he

The trouble with too many bridge
players is that they have no conf

to take correct action in a difficult

be based on the entire 26 cards of

Medical men are making a special
study at Gallinger Hospital of the
rare case of a day-old baby whose
heart still beats normally although
it is located outside the wall of the
chest.
Heart specialists and obstetricians
have been especially interested.
Several OF them went to the hos
pital yesterday to avail themselves
of their first opportunity to OBJ
serve the operation of a human
heart placed outside the ribs.
The infant was born about 7
am. yesterday to Mrs. Whitfield
Nevill, colored. Of the 1900 block
Of Neal place NV. The child
weighed five pounds and, doctors
said, was born at least a month
prematurely.
Physicians said the infants life
cannot be saved. This is due not
so much to the heart condition,
they said, as to head ailment.
