WASHINGTON-Wage-Ho Hour Ad- ministrator Philip Fleming soon may join the safari of U. S. officials sent to Great Britain for war studies.
 If he goes, Fleming will study more than wage levels and overtime efficiency" He isn't saying so for fear of repercussions, but Fleming wants to use the trip as a spring board for recommending some sen sational changes in the Wage- Hour Act, as follows:
 CD A boost in the present 4O- hour-a- week working maximum. Fleming believes this is especially necessary in the skilled crafts and wants to find out, from British ex- perience how long a man can work and remain efficient.
 CD A standardization of indus trial wage levels all over the coun- try.
 Fleming dropped some broad hints on this in his annual report when he discussed chaotic" labor condi- tions during the World War.
 Wages were then completely un- standardized and workers wandered from plant to plant seeking the best wages obtainable" Fleming report ed. Such was the confusion that the War Labor Policies Board was finally driven to consider the neces- sity of universal wage standardiza- ton, but peace intervened before that policy was effectuated.
 "The United States cannot enter future war without giving serious thought to the need for standard izing wages, both to protect workers and to promote the efficient utiliza- tion of their time."
 CONGRESSIONAL ECONOMY
 Despite loud Congressional talk about economy, the boys don't be- lieve that economy. like charity, should begin at home.
 For years Senators and Repre- sentatives have struggled along with free franking limited to the regular mails. For airmail, they had to dig into their own jeans.

Charlotte felt it through her warmest mink

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON WI. BURGES

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
After Blacky the Crow and his
friends and Sammy Jay had driven
Buster Bear to his bedroom under
the great pile of fallen trees, deep
in the Green Forest, he remained
there on the bed of leaves until
jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had gone
to bed behind the purple hills. He
knew that his tormentors had also
gone to bed, and that he could 60
where he pleased without fear of
being bothered by that noisy crew.
Buster likes the night He likes to
roam around in the dark, for he can
see where you and I could not see
at all.
Buster was hungrier than ever.
Also he was very thirsty. He went
down to the Laughing Brook and
along this until he found a place
where there was no ice. After a
good drink he felt better. Then he
started to roam about to see what
he could find.
In the course of his wanderings
he reached that part of the Green
Forest where the sugar NAPLES grow.
On the very first sugar maple he
came to he saw something bright
and shiny where the moonlight
touched it. Right away Buster
stopped and sat up to stare at it
suspiciously. 1t didn't move. It
was as still as If it were a part of
the tree. Buster tried a deep growl.
Still it didn't move. Buster took
a few steps and tried again.
The nearer he got to that bright.
shiny thing the more curious he
became. He walked all around the
tree at a safe distance. Presently
his keen nose caught the smell of
Farmer Browns Boy. Instantly the
hair on the back of his neck stood
on end and he growled a more
deeply rumbly, grumbly growl than
before. He was more suspicious
than ever. He is always suspicious
when he gets a Whit of that hated
man smell
Buster suspected a trap. Yet
that bright, shiny thing made him
so curious that he couldn't tear
himself away. BY and by he was
near enough to reach out and
touch it with one paw. He pulled
that paw back like a flash, half
suspecting that something would
happen. But nothing did happen.
Buster touched it again and decided
1t was harmless.
He was so near now that he could
hear a faint drip, drip, drip, as If
drops of water were falling, for
it was warm and the sap had not yet
stopped running 1t puzzled him
until. standing on his hind legs,
he looked into that strange shiny
thing and saw that it was half full
of what looked like water, and that
little drops were falling into it from
the thing on which it hung Very
cautiously Buster stretched out his
head and shifted. There was a
pleasant odor. 1t didn't smell like
any water Buster had ever had.
Buster put a paw into the sap pail,
for that is what the queer, shiny
thing was, then licked his paw.
One minute later he had emptied
that sap pail. 1t was one of the
best drinks Buster had ever had.
