Survey Completed
on Minimum Wuqe
Evidence Supports Claim
That Beduticidns Wage
Bourd Needed

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-The state
wide survey of the beauty parlor in
dustry conducted by the Department
of Industrial Relations under the su-
pervision Of George A. Strain, Di-
rector, having been concluded with the
hearing in Columbus last week it is
expected that the department will
shortly recommend the setting up of
a minimum wage board in this indus
try. The State Board of Control will
be asked to make funds available for
establishing the wage board.
The need for such board was in
dicated by great preponderance OF
testimony taken by the Director in
larger centers of the state. Pro-
prietors of beauty shops as we'll as
workers in the industry favored a
minimum wage. From SO to SIS a
week was suggested. Some favored
a sliding scale-that is lower mini
mum for those just out of school and
a higher rate for trained operators.
Mr.. Nelson Hovey. assistant di-
rector and Mr.. James P. Walsh, Su-
perintendent of the minimum wage di.
vision, conducted most of the hearings
under Director Strains supervision
They called in both employers and EN-,
ployes for Interrogation as to wages
paid and general working conditions.
Miss Dolly Phillips, Akron, also
attended the hearings, representing
the Beauticians Local 165-A, upor
whose petition the survey was insti.
gated.
Hearings were conducted in Cleve.
land, Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus
Dayton, Youngstown, Steubenville
Springfield and Portsmouth. In the
record taken is testimony of wages as
low as So, So and ST week and ir
many instances these workers on g
percentage basis made less than this.
The problem of schools of beauty
culture was also considered in the
survey.

Magician Tells Of
Art and It's Lure
Will Rock Finds Profession
Essential As Breuthinq

Will Rock, famous magician pre-
senting magic as you like it" at the
Ceramic theater today through Satur-
day, when asked about his profession,
gave interesting views as to the hold
magic takes upon a person.
"What is the allurement, in itself
savoring Of enchantment, that binds
it's votaries with ribs of steel? No
actual shackles ever, set before me or
placed upon me have been SO potent
| have always managed to escape
from the bars and knots, the hand
cuffs, straight-jacketS coffns and
boxes-but will neve, cssSape from the
bonds of this encheatexA snare.
81 have lived and thought and talk
ed and practiced conjuring till it has
become part and parcel of my being.
l no more could give it up than could
cease, to breathe and yet live.
"Some of you recall that first box
of tricks-those simple, elementary
tricks-pill boxes with false bottoms,
wooden eggs, special cards, and, of
course, the magic wand! That toy was
the germ Of an obcession that was not
to be lifted in this life. The charm
cannot be merely the desire to deceive
others. 1t is not merely an attempt
to appear cleverer than our fellows. 1t
goes far deeper.
"Some are immune. But they do
not know what strange JOY they
have missed; neither do they realize
what anguish they may have escaped.
have felt it all. :, Yet | would not
exchange my knowledge of magic for
a kings ransom.
"There is great renaissance of
magic. 1t is coming back stronger
than ever, Perhaps many know how
most tricks are performed. But the
charm is not lost and new inventions
are constantly being perfected. The
time is near when the magical show
will again be among the most popular
Of all attractions.
"It is thing that charms because
Eof it's deftness, of course but the chief
charm, | am sure, is the effect upon
the imagination Magic is magic
word. 1t conjures up wonders that
are like the dreams of the hasheesh
eater-the fourth dimension seems
within our grasp; the ordinary things
Of life take on different aspect; it
cannot be elucidated fully"

Locul No. 2l Elects
Robinson ToLeud
All Members Urged To Aid
In Shaping Resolution for
Coming Conference

At the last regular meeting Of Lo-
cal Union No. 21, officers for the en-
suing term were elected. Most Of the
following are serving their second or
third term, therefore the affairs of
the local should be run smoothly.
Elmer Robinson, president; Dale
Gourley, vice president; Warren Krid-
ler, recording secretary; Earl Cox,
financial secretary; E. Ladzinski
treasurer; Martin Dennis, inspector;
Curtis Creel, guard and William
Mumaw, trustee for Is months.
According to the report made by the
financial secretary, there are several
members who are delinquent in their
dues and their arrearages extend over
several months. To those of you who
might be in the list of delinquents, it
might be to your interest to know
that at our next meeting all who are
in arrears more than three months
will have their names published in the
paper. Also you will be up for sus-
pension, which might happen Thurs
day night, February 1.
WOrk III IIlG INDUSTRY Has DeSIl IdlIly
good this past fall so there is nc
reason for anyone to be in arrears
with his dues. 1t has always been
the policy of No. Fl to show leniency
in cases where it has been proven that
unfortunate circumstances are respon-
sible for excessive arrearages. 1t is
not the desire or intent of the loca
to depart from that policy.
Those of you who are not in the
habit of attending the local meetings
might find them interesting if you
would attend once in awhile. This is
conference year, as you all know, d
new wage agreement will have to be
made. 1t is necessary to present res
olutions to the convention, to be
adopted before anything can be pre-
sented to the conference. So everyone
turn out and help with the resolutions
There are also several other matters
to be discussed and settled. We would
like to see good turnout at the
February / meeting.-O. G. FL.

Girls Admit Starting!
Reformaiory Fire;
May Face Court
Bondy Considers
Toking Criminal
Action Aqoinst Trio

Robert Bondy, director Of the
Board of Public Welfare, said today
he would confer with Juvenile Court
authorities on the adyisability of
taking action in criminal courts
against the three girls who have
admitted setting fire to the building
in which they were incarcerated at
the National Training School for
Girls.
Blame for the two-alarm blaze
Tuesday night has been fixed on
the three teen-Age colored girls, he
said. but no decision has been
reached on disciplinary measures.
Juvenile Court Opinion Souxht.
Mr.. Bondy said he would ask the
Juvenile Court authorities for their
opinion of the advisability Of re-
leasing the trio from jurisdiction of
that court.
II this is done, he said, they might
be brought into a criminal court to
face charges of arson.
The three admitted under ques-
tioning yesterday by Mr.. Bondy
and Capt. Clarence Talley of the
7th precinct that they had used
papers and rags to set the fire in
two places near the ceiling above
their cells in the top floor of the
two-story Shaw Building.
Had Attempted to Escape.
They were locked in cells in that
building. along with four others,
after being returned to the institu-
ton from attempted escapes. Ap-
parently, it was said, they hoped
to make another escape attempt
during the fire.
The blaze. however, did not be-
come serious enough to cause the
girls to be taken out of the build
ing. The seven-along with about
IS other inmates of the same
structure-were herded together on
the first floor while firemen put out
the flre in the roof and attic.
Damage amounted to about $780,
Mr.. Bondy said. He pointed out
that the fire would have been much
more serious had not it been discoy-
cred by an engineer at the school.
The training school is a reform
atory to which incorrigible girls
are sent when other corrective
measures have failed.

Grant Lauds Chain Stores
For Extra Good Job

By the Associated Press.
w. T. Grant, head Of the 492-
unit chain store system bearing his
name, declared yesterday, that such
organizations Should not be
damned for doing an extra good
job"
Mr.. Grant, heading another group
OF witnesses before House Ways
and Means Subcommittee in op-
position to the Patman anti-chain
stores bill, likened the chains to
the consumer co-operatives of Eu-
rope, which, he said, had improved
distribution methods on the con-
tinent.
Here" he continued, consumer
co-operatiyes have not developed to
any great extent and after looking
into these co-operatives in Europe,
believe the chain stores have per-
16rmed 4 better service than the
co-opers Ives in, increasing the
goods available to consumers at
prices they can afford to pay"

to collect in the last ten days of April 0 penny for each year of age from aS many as possible of the thirty millions of school children throughout the United States, the funds thus raised to be distributed through recognized channels for refugee relief to children without Q home or country all over the dis- tressed areas of the world. With an emergency that grows daily and threatens to become one Of the great disasters in world history. no sum that can be raised by children for children, can be too much, even for the beginning of relief.
 But it is c question whether the results for the giver in this crusade are not as well worth considering as the relief to refugee children who may be saved for another perhaps better generation. Indeed, the foufi. ders of this plan for children's aid to children have felt that its educa. tional value was It's chief justiaca. ton among % many drives to raise modey for the afflicted. The new world, whatever 1t may become. will belong to those who are now chil- dren. It would be deep injustice and 0 great wrong, if American children in this crisis should be ale lowed to remain ignorant of, or in- different to, what Is happening to other children abroad what might happen to them.

Writing in the March issue Of
 The Saturday Review oR Literature
 Henry Seldel Canby presents an
 interesting picture of the current
 appeal for children. His article is
 titled ChilAEen's Crusade for
 Children. It is as follows;
 There was b childrens crusade In the Middle Ages that failed--a mass movement, hysterically led, where httle bodies were herded across Europe toward an impossible ideal. The Childrens Crusade ail- ilounced last week is very different In character. This nation wide proj- ect announced last week by Dorothy Canfield Fisher and her associates, Is no crusade Of the emotions only, but c plan, soundly based and well organized, for enabling millions and millions of American children to show that war, exile, and impover- ishment can arouse compassion as well as horror, hate, and morbid curiosity. Our children are fortunate in that they have reasonable as. Surance of home and parents in Q peaceful country; yet 1t Is not Q blessing that the devastation in Europe and the East is so often pre- sented to their imaginations as c terror of dropping bombs, burning houses, machinery of war, and man. kind in one of It's too frequent moods of callous and uncalculating cruelty.
 Auxlliarles Enlisted

child can clear his plate without the feeling of being stuffed.
 Take 1t for granted that lie will him, and be sure that he becomes acquainted with Q variety of foods.
 Let him feed himself, and experi- ence the joy of self-help.
 Be consistent in responding 10 c child's pranks and ruses, Laughing ct one time and punishing the next is never effective.
 Remember that the table Is a place for good comradeship and not for discipline or nagging. Have no differences of authority between the parents and other adults in deciding questions about the child's eating.

they were destroying an Arabic cul- ture, and who afterwards destroyed each other, were not irrational. They had meely been trained from childhod to regard the sufferings of non-M Mongols as outside of their sympathies, as nonhuman. If char. fly begins ct home, 1t becomes ster. lie unless exercised abroad. And if sympathy Is to subsist ct home, it must be extended wherever human trouble goes.
 Pennies Count
 Whether 1t iS Q penny or ten pen. nies dropped into the can provided for the purpose, one envies the chil- dren who, with no burden of re. sponsibility for the times in which we find ourselves, can contribute their mites to the possible recon- struction of what will be their world. HENRY SEIDEL CANBY
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-05-01

and the radio also With the CO., operation of libraries throughout the United States, there will be dis- plays of books about children in every land. Plays have been written for perfance in the schools. An edu-' cational committee has prepared rich material for use in connection with the school curricuiums, where the school authorities have already been effectively at work. Judging from the list of sponsors and abet- tors, no cause in recent years has elicited c warmer response from Americans everywhere who are in touch, directly or indirectly, with ti:s children Of the United States.
 Whatever the sum raised may amount to, the indirect results Of this ehildren's crusade seem to the writer Of this editorial to be of quite incalculable importance. The ques- ton of economic and political isola- tionism may be debatable, but no genuine American has ever advo- cated an isolationism of human sympathy. That would mean, not only c defeat Of Christianity, but e defeat also of the qualities in hu- man nature which have made our civilization possible. This, of course, is particularly true for American civilization, which in It's complex itaeA contains elements from the blood and culture of so many lands.
 And civilization begins with the children. The Mongols who heaped pyramids of human heads while
