Some two years after entering

phatic assertion:
You bore me an heir That's all I want

Now IN any language, these arc fighting

that marriage TO Sir Herbert, once she had
borne him the son and heir he wanted, was no

Considering Sir Herbert's views on matri-
mony in general and modern women in par

Many people think of the Defense

for stated periods to raise specific
quotas. The Defense Savings Pro-
gram is a long-range, continuing
effort to stimulate the public to
buy more and more Defense Bonds
and Stamps month by month, and
is essentially a program to pro-
mote mass saving, as well as to
provide money for defense.

WAGE HOUR
LAW EXPLAINED
Fair Labor Standards Act
Won't Prevent Employee
From Working Long Hours
PAY FOR OVERTIME

There is nothing in the Fair
Labor Standards Act to prevent an
employee working as many hours
each week as he wants to, or his
boss permits him to work, Region
al Director Frank ]. G. Dorsey, of
the Wage and Hour Division, U. S.
Department of Labor, told men,
bers of the Pennsylvania Stone
Producers Association at Harris
burg, Pa, Friday. "In these days
of unusual demands for workers
and for national defense produc-
ton, we still hear reports that the
Fair Labor Standards Act won't
permit anybody to work more than
40 hours a week." he told members
of the association at a meeting held
in Penn-Harris Hotel. "An en-
ployer can work his employees 10,
20, 40, 80, 100, yes, even 168 hours
week-if they can stand it-and
the Wage and Hour Division won't
be concerned, as to the number CT
hours worked. The Wage and Hour
Division, however, will be and is
concerned whether those employees
are paid overtime compensation fol
all hours worked in excess of 4C
per week. The Act, which is now
three years old, requires payment
of at least one and one-half times
the regular hourly rate of pay fol
all overtime hours"
The regional director explained
in detail the Divisions require
ments on record-keeping and tn,

Bossys Milk Now Provides Clothing for Americans
As Scientists Transform Se4sein Into Textile Fibre

a FTER years of experimental
\ ton, National Dairy Products
Corporation has succeeded in pro-
ducing a textile fibre made from
milk.
After being subjected to ex-
haustive tests, including resili-
ency, tensile strength, abrasion,
odor, affinity to dyes and ability
to withstand dry cleaning and
washing, the new fibre-"Aralac"
has been accepted in the textile
industry. By next Spring, Ameri-
cans will be wearing dresses,
blouses, slacks and other apparel
which can be traced back to the
cow-just as today they wear felt
hats of milk origin.
The fibre, made from casein, a
by-product Of skim milk, can be
blended with wool, mohair, cot
ton, rayon or fur in varying pro-
portions.
Used in Hair Waving
The latest use developed for the
new fibre is in hair-waving. As a
result of recent successful expert
ments, a specially prepared "Ara-
lac Wavecrepe" fibre braid will
be used to protect the hair in the
permanent waving process.
The fibre is made at Taftville,
Conn.,, by Aralac, Inc. Present
productions capacity is about
100000 pounds year-the re-
coverable casein content of about
160,000,000 pounds of skim milk.
Much of the credit for "Aralac"
goes to Francis Clark Atwood, a
noted chemist and president of
Atlantic Research Associates,
Newtonville, Mass, a research di-
vision of National Dairy. Mr.. At
wood spent years of research on
casein fibre before experimental
manufacture was commenced in
a pilot plant at Bristol, R. I.
Aids Hat Manufacturers
The felt hat industry was the
first to use "Aralac." In 1910,
many felt hats contained the milk
derived fibre; today most fur-felt
and wool-felt hats in the United
States, Canada and South Amer
lea are made in part from cows
milk
''It may seem somewhat incon-
gruous for a milk man to get into
fibre manufacturing" commented
Thomas H. McInnerney, chairman
of the board of National Dairy,
"but in this case it is a natural
development and supplement to
our business.
'For many years our research
laboratories have been expert
menting with new milk products,
particularly with a view to find
ing more uses for skim milk. Sue
cess of these efforts is vitality i'm

most spectacular-of the results

and the employee" he said.
Director Dorsey cited certain sec
tons of the Act to show specific in
stances of coverage applicable to
the crushed stone industry. He
cited legal opinions on various
phases of the industry and the Di-
visions interpretations on work
done by certain employees. The
legal opinions were prepared by

ney for the Division.
