BATA SHOE COMPANY
FINED $4,000 FOR
WAGE CHISELING

BALTIMORE = OPP - The Bata
Shoe Co. Of Belcamp, Md, which i'm
ported its oncentration-camp-s
labor policies from Germany, was
fined $1,000 on May II after pleading
guilty to five counts of wage-hour law
violations. The firms manager, John
Hoza, was fined 500.
Intentional violation of the wage
hour law justified the fine, Federal
Judge Calvin w. Chestnut said. In
paying s10,0S5 due 1000 employees, the
firm deliberately withheld payment
from about 200 workers by falisfying
its records, paying less than the legal
80 cents hourly minimum and failing
to pay overtime.
Commenting on the case, Leo Good
man, research director of the United
Shoe Workers (CIO), which filed the
first wage-hour suit against Bata, said,
"The union will constantly watch to
see that the company complies with
the American law and maintains at
least the minimum which it estab-
lishes."

House Approves
Relief Bill, Bans
Govt Overthrow

WASHINGTON (FP)i- Approval
Of the Administrations 1915, $50, 900 ap-
preparation bill for WPA for the com
ing fiscal year was voted here May
l23 by the house. Included was the
provision requested by the President
permitting the expenditure of funds
within eight months if necessary.
Principal changes in the measure
were amendments barring members
of the communist party or the Ger
man-American bund from receiving
WPA aid, lifting the $4,000 limita-
ton on construction projects and re-
quiring discharge from WPA of per-
sons advocating overthrow of the gov
eminent
The last amendment, proposed by
Rep. Rich (R., Pa.), struck the words
"by force and violence" from the pres
ent requirement for the discharge
from WPA of persons advocating
overthrow Of the government by force
and violence"
1t was pointed out by Rep. Celler
| 3D., N. W that such provision might
be construed to mean the discharge
of person advocating constitutional
amendment or even, under the con-
cept of certain republicans, support of
the new deal but it was adopted by
an overwhelming voice vote
The measure, which now goes to
the senate, will provide for an aver
age employment Of 100000 persons
instead of the present 100000 aver
age.
While the house passed the meas
ure, after a weeks debate, the senate,
lin "a hours, sped through the $780,
100000 arms bill.

Women's Clubs
Opposed to U. S.
Participation in War

CHICAGO-FP)-The Illinois Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs went on
record as "unalterably opposed to the
military participation by the U. S. in
any foreign war" The annual con-
vention also declared that "the ultim-
ate peace of the world will be insured
only if we remain acknowledgement"
This is believed the first time the
Illinois federation differed on funda-
mentals with the national federation
whose board is on record for helping
to overcome the enemies of democ-
racy' and to assist in securing just
settlement of the present conflict" in
Europe. Illinois is neutral while the
national board is pro-ally not only in
sympathy but in stronger measures.

Nation Threatened
With Blonde Loss
The dark news today is that the

The dark news today is that the
nation is fast losing its blondes.
Gentlemen may profess to pre-
fer them, but the ladies are skep-
teal, and so-in the opinion of
Robert, hairdresser to society and
the screen-American women are
firing of golden and platinum
tresses and are scrambling from
one end of the country to the other
to achieve a new GROWING glory
of ebony, chestnut or even henna.
During the past four years, Rob-
ert reports, the tendency of
American women to darken their
hair has been such as to indicate
blondes may vanish altogether.
The instigators of this movement,
he believes, are those arbiters of
style, the movie stars.

THE ARMCHAIR IN THE
DINING ROOM

Dear Mrs. Post: We have one
chair in our dining room that
matches the others except for hav-
ing arms. Who is supposed to sit
in this chair-the husband or the
wife, and if there is a guest of
honor, would she, or he, as a ges-
ture of special consideration, be
given this chair?
Answer: Usually there are two
chairs with arms, but when there
is only one chair, the one who is
the bigger should have it-this
probably means the husband. If
they are the same size then either
draw lots for it or-give it to the
wife-(afte all, she is the head
Of the table Anyway, this chair
is given up only when an occa-
sional guest is very old, or very
fat.

GOOD TASTE
TODAY
BY EMILY POST

Although the unusual wedding
problem described TO me in one Of
today's letters presents certain
difficulties. it seems to me that
they can quite easeily be over
come. But first, to repeat the let
ter:
rs it possible for widow orioe
and a maiden bride 10 have
double wedding? I have been
widow for five years, but am only
27. Nv sister. who is two years
younger, is to be a bride for the
first time. Since we are both en-
gagged she thinks it owuld be
lovely land means it, If we eould
be married at the same ceremony.
Our parents would be very pleased
to- have a double wedding, If TINS
could be managed, but none OF US
can see how. My sister wants TO
wear a white dress and a brides
veil. and have at least two brides
maids. whereas / am not allowed
and neither do I want to have
these preparations.
Nv answer to this is that your
narents send out conventional in
vitations to your sisters wedding,
and that no mention be made of
yours. You may, however, write
notes to the family of your fiance,
and to your own and his Personal
friends, inviting them to your sis
ter's wedding, and telling them
that you are going to be married
at the same time.
For the wedding of your sister,
all the usual preparations will be
made, including her long-trained
bridal dress and veil. You could
with perfect propriety be her ma
tron of honor and wear white, if
she agrees and you prefer it to
a color. Your dress should not be
suggestive of bridal dress, and of
course you wear a hat instead of a
veil. Your flowers should be a
sheaf like those carried by the
bridesmaids rather than one sug-
gestive of a bridal bouquet.
Whether your fiance might be
an usher, or better still, the best
man, depends upon your future
brother-in-law. If they are not in
innate friends. your fiance could
easily come forward at the end of
the first ceremony from a front
pew and join you. Your sister and
her husband stand aside together
during a second ceremony for you.
In the occasional, your sister and
her husband go out first, and you
and your husband follow them, and
after you the bridesmaids, and
then the ushers.
At the reception, you receive
together, but your sister would
stand nearer the door than you.
Taht is, she and her husband are
greeted before you and your hus-
band. You and your sister can
both have wedding cakes, but
yours should be much less import
ant than hers.

Pay Check

Dear Miss Grey: I had lunch
with a young man not long ago and
felt embarrassed when the check
came because he insisted on pay
ing for my lunch. / had just
happened to meet him as we were
both going into the restaurant, so
felt that ! should not have al
lowed him to pay for the check.
When I insisted on paying for my
own meal, he merely laughed and
said he had not seen me for long
time and felt 1t pleasure to have
me as his luncheon guest.
What should working girl do
In a case like that? MILLY.
While a working girl would
not be showing good judgment
to let young men friends pay
for her lunch every time she
meets them, there certainly is
no harm In her accepting that
courtesy from a friend OCCASION

Carefully Planned
Vacation Is Best

The vacation that is carefully
planned well in advance generally
turns out to be the most fun.
1t may sound gay to say. "Oh,

We see a place we like" But the
truth is that the chances are about
eight out of ten that the trip won't
turn out to be as gay as it sounded.

Two weeks is much too short
time to waste even day looking
for place that provides all the
sports both you and John like. con-
genial companions and comfortable
quarters. At the risk of being
accused of having absolutely no
spirit of adventure, l recommend
that you start out knowing some
thing about where you're headed.
1t is also necessary that all pre-
parations be made well before the
last minute. l think you'll have
more fun if you remember to:
Buy all the clothes and beauty
preparations you know you'll need.
before you leave, instead of say
ing, "Oh, I'll pick up this or that
after we get there"
Take suntan oil, cream or lotion
and bottle or two of mosquito

growth and she did not and the
result was divorce.
He Is going 10 marry again,
a woman who Is said to possess
charm. personality and poise but
who by no stretch Of the inn
agination can be called pretty.
Now. II wasn't the wife's fault
that she lost her looks, nor was

for her beauty. Nature has put
that love Of beauty in a mans
heart. just as ii replaces that
youthful admiration with an APP
probation Of charm and intelli-
gence as the years go by.
But 1t seems TO me that II
our young people are given
better sense of values in their
youth, they will be better able
to handle these problems as they
grow older.
No one can deny mans right
To marry a beautiful woman.
But we can teach our sons to
value beauty only as one Of the
assets a woman may possess.
and often a minor one.
No one can blame girl for
taking advantage of her pretty
face, but we can teach our
daughters that pretty faces are
only a temporary gift. while
charm. intelligence and poise are
the lasting ones.
