MR. ANDREWS CHANGES HIS MIND.
From the New York Times:
When the wage-hour bill passed it was
overboard
Originally the president had asked for more
Than three billions dollars for lending pur-
poses, but by the time the measure was ready
for presentation this had shrunk to $2,800.-
0po 00. By the time the senate got through
with it, the total was $1,615,000,000.

slum clearance—comes up later and some ob-
servers say it won’t pass at this session. Its
defeat would cause scarcely a ripple of resent- . _ ________.
ment anywhere except among those who hoped . interpretation, but
to profit by it
- Senate action on the lending measure is
proof that congress has gone economy-minded
after all these years. Getting money out of
thought to apply, even by most of the congress-
men who voted for it, only to submarginal
labor. But by a combination of the so-called
hours provisions with a joker inserted at the
last minute by the conference committee the
bill lent itself to a possible interpretation un-
der which it fixed the hourly wages of all em-
ployes, no matter how high their compensa-
tion. except a few classes specifically exempt-
ed Under this interpretation minimum hourly
wages were fixed for each employer and em-
ploye at whatever wages happened to be at
the time the law was passed This interpreta-
tion would create a fantastic situation, under
which all wage rates would be inflexible except
in one direction—upward—and in which a
separate minimum wage scale would be fixed
for each employer, depending on the wages
he himself had paid before. The more gen-
erous his previous wise es, in other words, the
more he would be penalized by the act.
The administrator of the act. Elmer T., An-
drews, certainly did little to discourage this
even he seemed to believe
that a limit ought to be set somewhere, if only
to simplify administration. So he himself pro-
posed an amendment which the chairman of the
house labor committee introduced, exempting

Why Not a Taxpayers' League?
. Taxpayers are funny people. They gripe
more and do less to remove the causes of their -
complaints than any group of people on earth.
- Perhaps their failure to act is-due to the
fact that they constitute a vast unorganized
majority. We have leagues of voters, we have
consumers leagues, we have improvement so-
cieties and dozens of other associations. We
even have some organizations of taxpayers, but
none that we ever heard of takes in the plain,
every-day garden variety of taxpayer—the lit-
the fellow who pays taxes on his home
E. August is the month of budget-making for
counties. The budget as made up by the duly
constituted authorities is available for public
“inspection. But will there be a rush of tax-
payers—the people who foot the bills—to in-
ispe • the budget? Not so’s you could notice it.
— Wouldn’t it be nice if we had an organiza-
tion of taxpayers to study county needs. coun-
TV expenditures and county financial machine-
T: Representatives of the organization could
sit down with budget-making authorities, go
oer everything with them, and arrive at solu- |
Tions that would" be mutually advantageous
We imagine most county officials would appre- |
elate this and cooperate to the fullest, indeed,
m st of them have been urging that very thing.
— But so far as we know the average taxpayer
isn’t displaying any interest in the subject
whatever. The budget is made up without his
ass stance, without a word from him on any
point. Then, later on, if things don’t go to 1
suit him, he raises the roof
— Wouldn't it be a wise idea to form a tax-
D. yers' league, an organization devoted to the I
interest of the people who pay the bills? We
have an idea such a step would result in more I
efficient and economical government. Cer-
Tainly it would give the taxpayer the feeling
of laving a hand in the management of affairs. 1
which is more than he canclaim under present |
conditions.
"white-collar workers’’ earning $200 or more
a month from the provisions of the law As
average factory earnings throughout the coun-
try are in the neighborhood of $113 a month,
it is clear that even with this exemption the
wage-hour act would still apply to an over-
whelming majority of workers
But Mr. Andrews announces he has changed
his mind about this exemption and no longer
wants it What reason does he give for chang-
ing his mindt—Because "organized labor" op-
poses it “Organized labor has done such a
swell job of fighting my battle for me that I
think it would be very unethical for me to
press that amendment if they are opposed to
it.” Public officials, when they changed their
minds on some question at the behest of a
pressure group, at least used to profess having
changed it on the merits of the question or on
the basis of the whole public’s welfare Mr.
Andrews thinks it enough to announce that he
has changed his mind simply because a pres,
sure group has brought pressure

COUNTRY BARBER
The barber in the country is a chap that‘s good
to know.
If by chance you're fond of fishing he can tell
you where to go.
He knows when bass are striking and the
kind of food they, crave
And will tell you all about it while he's giving
- you a shave.
There’s a mallard nicely mounted just above
his looking glass.
On the wall a hunter, pictured where a deer is
apt to pass. .
And if you show the slightest sign of interest
in such things
The barber's conversation will have hooves and
horns and wings.
The barber in the country isn't prisoned in
his shop.
If he hears the wild geese- honking then his
clippers he will drop.
And some day in-the summer should on him
you chance to call

du story: you can’t scratch the surface in that
time. S the 75-cent gate fee really amounts
te several dollars by the time one has seen
all one wishes to see.
“Unless the reduced fare results in doubling
the attendance which is doubtful, the fair
runs the risk of being a huge financial flop.
It may be that the Chicago fair, the Texas cen-
fennial and other exhibition- have taken the
edge off fairs as a prime attraction New York
pic ked a bad time to put on the biggest and
best of the world's fairs.

sary of the adoption of the air-
plane as a military weapon, while
forgetting that it is onty the 25th
anniversary Of the army's purchase
of its first automobile.
And if comparative—statistics
mean anything, the automobile and
its monster grandchild, the tank
have become about as effective a
military weapon as the airplane
The army purchased its' first au-
tomobile in 1914. the year the
World war broke out, and didn't
buy any more until in 1916 it
bought three trucks to assist Gen-
eral Pershing in chasing Pancho
Vi .
The first army airplane was or-
dered in 1906 and had to guarantee
a cruising speed of about 125 miles
and a minimum speed of 35 miles
an hour. Probably the expectations
for the first army automobile in
1914 were no greater.
AUTOS ARE FAST
Almost overlooked in these air-
plane-filled days is the tremendous
speed of movement of the army un-
ded motive power and the boundless
reserve of automobile power that
the industry has built up in peace
times. ,
I The old escort wagon pulled by
mules could do 12 miles a day That
was roughly, a days march for the
soldiers except under forced cir-
cumstances The new 1 1-2 ton truck
I that has displaced the escort wag-
- on can move 150 mnes a day easily
and can stretch the distance to 300
miles or more under favorable con-
ditions. Furthermore, the soldier
can keep up with it, hauled in
high-speed transport trucks, vans,
busses, lorries or armored cars
And the capacity of the industry
to supply trucks and other motor
vehicles as a war necessity is al-
most boundless The government
is pouring money into airplane
factories to build up their produc-
tion as a war reserve power The
automobile industry built up its
production mostly under its own
power although the government
road-building program didn't hurt
any
As it stands now the automobile
industry, on a 24-hour basis, prob-
ably could turn out annually
7.000,000 to 8.000,000 motor vehi-
cles of all varieties. In 1929 it put
out 5,000.000 as a peak In 1937 it
produced approximately 3,700,000
There would be bottle-necks to de-
lay production in some spots, par-
ticularly among the heavy trucks
hooked tandem, can serve for one
heavy trucks.
MOTORS ARE DEPENDABLE
There is no practical way of
comparing airplanes and automo-
biles for striking power. But the
fact that the automobile industry
is already capable of high quan-
tity production is one of the great-
est defensive and offensive assets
of the army.
Of course, producing tanks is a
specialized job But the essential
unit, the dependable motor, can be
turned out in quantity production
The new defense appropriation
calls for building 164 medium
tanks with inch-and-a-half armor,
at a cost of $50,000 each. An equal
number of light tanks also has
been authorized at a price of $27,-
500 Additional tanks may be pur-
chased
Of equal importance with the
supply is the dependability. Dur-
ing the World war the chances of
an automobile getting from one
place to another over rough terrain
was only moderately good. Part of
the fault was in the machine and
part in the inexperienced driver
Nowadays a motor failure is an
exception and speed has been more
than doubled Performance is al-
most perfect. The number of men
of military age who know how to
operate and repair automobiles is
almost without limit For the three
trucks bought for • Pershing’s ex-
peditionary force in 1916 the army
had to send back to the factory’ for
drivers There is no need now to
spend millions creating a reserve
force of pilots for trucks
As a wartime asset the capacity
to produce both automobiles and
drivers is of incalculable impor-
tance.

danced on the saucer as she put it
back when he had spoken
"Philip Callen?" she repeated
slowly and with assumed sweetness.
"Shall I tell you my name or shall
I make up one, too?”
"Don't you like it?"
"It’s too common. So many peo-
ple seem to have it I won't insist
on your telling me. I don’t wish to
probe” she addedsedately.
He leaned toward her and spoke
in a theatrical whisper:
"Thankee, lady You've treated me
right and I’ll do the same. I’m a
bad man from the wild West! I'm
wanted! The posse is after me for
holding up the stagecoach from
Beverly Hills to Los Angeles! But
I got a head start this mawnin’.
Where am I?"
Cecily laughed at his nonsense
and then, catching herself, she said
sarcastically, "Congratulations, Jesse
James! This is the rockbound coast
of Maine."
"My, my, how time does fly! But
look -here, ma'am, my name isn't
Jesse James."
"I’m not good at guessing games,”
she replied.
"Now, let's us think of something
more attractive. How about Loch-
invar? He was a gallant Western-
er.”
“A bold one, too,” she agreed, and
saw that it was nearly ten-thirty.
She got up.
“I’m afraid that I can't offer you
my hospitality any longer." She
had forgotten that she hadn't offer-
ed it in the first place.
He picked up a hat that looked as
though it had seen rough traveling
across the country by pony express.
NI don't like to turn you out into
the night May I offer you a small
loan?"
Cecily took two dollars from her
purse and held them out to him.
He looked at them slowly. Then
he looked at her face and some-
thing warm came into her breast.
She thought: He likes me!
He bowed deeply and, with the
gesture, he took the bills, slipping
them carelessly into his pocket.
"Thank you," he said simply. "Mere-
ly'a loan, of course.”
He bowed again. Cecily could
have sworn that there was a flour-
ish to the manner in which he
swept his hat rakishly onto the side
of his head as he went off toward
the inn.
She closed the door in back of her
and set out homeward toward Dare-
lea. forgetting the ball of white
yarn.
UNREALITY
The rain had cleared away in the
night and the bright morning sun
fell on Cecily's eyes, waking her to
the day and a realization that she ,
anticipated that day. She lay quiet
for a few minutes assembling the
memory that eluded her yet quick-
ened her senses. She felt, eager and
suddenly alive, as though she want-
ed to go out to meet something.
It was a new feeling that pervad-
ed her, and with it came a rush of
clear thinking, of suddenly seeing
herself as she had been during the
last weeks. She realized that she
had insulted herself against the
change that had come into her life
since the day that she had learned
she was no longer financially inde-
pendent. The only thing that had
been real was the founding of the
shop.
She had refused to make herself
a vivid part of anything that was
• happening to her Everything had
had the quality of unreality.
And principally among these was
Philip Callen
Philip Callen, even now, was
sleeping under the same roof. An
nails is more serious than a slight
hardening or overgrowth. When
such an infection is combined with
overgrowth, one of the first steps
should be the removal of the ex-
cess of nail substance.
It is possible for a physician fa-
miliar with such conditions to pre-
scribe a solution or ointments
which will soften the tissue and re-
move the excess. However, all of
these ointments are themselves cap-
able of destroying tissue and should
not be used except under the doc-
tors direction.
In cutting the nails, a clipper Is
preferable to either a curved or
straight scissors because with the
clipper it is possible to remove ex-
actly the amount of tissue that is
required and not leave roughened
edges.

Dear Mrs Little:
So Billy is afraid of the boys?
Good for Billy. Boys are very nor-
mal things to be afraid of Were all
afraid of people, you know.
Don’t force him. Just let him
alone. He will find some boy one of
these days, maybe several, whom he
does not fear.
Let me see, he is five, isn’t he?
And you are afraid he is going to
be anti-social. Well, he will be more
anti-social if you force him to min-
gle with boys he does not under-
stand Let him find his own way.
He likes to play with girls That
is simply fine. Girls are splendid

down or jeer. They are tickled to
death when a boy playa with them

knows. Billy probably needs it.

a guest, her aunt's welcome guest

Cecily thought; I must do some-

Olivia the truth.
She was suddenly ashamed that
she had permitted the thing to get
on as it had Yet. she reasoned
justly, it had done no harm. Philip
Callen had added immeasurably to
the gayety of the household He
made himself a useful and pleasant
guest and he was well liked.
Allene Bixby made no secret that
she had a crush on him. Karen
Willoughly had already invited him
—with Cecily, of course—for a week-
end at her parents’ home at South-
ampton later in the season. .
Cecily had decided to let it go on.
Philip would surely not remain at •
Darelea for more than a few days
and when he left. It would all be a
forgotten incident.
A feeling of dislike and distrust of
r him thrust itself into her thoughts.
She wanted to be fair, and searched
her mind for the source of her an-
tagonism for him But. search as
she would, she could find no tan-
gible reason At first, she had ex-
pected that he would. In her own
words, take advantage of the situ-

rather than intrigued with her. In
