Minimum Wages for Women
Asked
A minimum wage law for women and children
Is recommended by the biennial report of State La-
bor Commisacner Charles McKemy and the enact-
ment of an astringent law requiring one day of rest
in seven is needed according to the commissioner.
County judges are charged In the report with failure
to cooperate in the enforcement of the law requiring
permits for employment of children under 15 and
the recommendation is made that the permit feature
be transferred to school officials.
Another recommendation is that the child labor
a^e be made 16 instead of 15 and still another that
the employment cf women within a month of child-
birth should be prohibited by statute. An increase
in wage standards for both men and women is shown
in the statistical report but women s pay has not in-
creased m ratio with that of men. In Texas the rail
employe unions and the trade unions will work to-
gethcr at the coming session of the legislature—
that is their legislative committee will voice the de-
mand of the trade as well as the rail union. A re-
minder that there is no open shop law in Texas. It
was strangled by a decision of the court of criminal
appeals.
He Notes An Upward Climb
Pres. Home C. Stephenson of the American Bankers
association believes business has started an upward
Climb that confidence Is beginning to reassert itself
and that no other one element Is so forceful in stimu-
lating business recovery. Moreoier the head of the
American bankers organization declared credit ample
at low rates to finance a much larger volume of ousi-
ness than heretofore and It awaits the opportunity.
America has ever scored a come-back in 150 years
of its history. After readjustment will come busi-
ness revival and after revival widespread prosperity.
This is the record of the past. Why not the record
to be made in future years?
Chicago's Legion of Unemployed
Chicago s legion of unemployed marched 300.000
strong Into 350 public schools in a single day and
registered their needs that Gov. Emersons unem-
ployment commission might work out their relief.
Desperate was the needs of many fer food for rent
money but to the last man and woman they want- j
ed work—"JUST ANYTHING."
According to a Chicago correspondent it was a
cross section of artistic professional and industrial
life all hungering for work to do. Chicago has a
population of 3500.000. Chicago is the second Ameri-
can city this In wealth and educational facilities and
philanthropy and !t should be added that the hu-
manitarians of Chicago will pour their dollars into
the coffers of the welfare organisations now buss-
relieving the immediate wants of a small armv of
idlers who are face to face with the wolf at the
door.

SONG FOR A DECLINING MARKET
(Copyright 1930 by The Associated Newspapers.)
Read me today’s lows mother
Give me the bottoms new;
Teil me if “Steele’s” still quoted?
Is there a chip called blue?
What of the oils and railroads?
Is there a stock called Penn?
Tell me is New York Central
Yet down to five and ten?
Go through the table slowly;
I will be brave I vow;
What are Gillette and Carbide?
How cheap is Simmons now?
Is there a quote on Richfield?
Is there a bid for Nash?
What can I get of Chrysler
If I've a dollar cash?
What has become of Bjers?
What is it now’ per pound?
How’ low is Coca Cola?
What price is old Howe Sound?
Gen ral Electric—tell me—
Is is a dime per load?
What is the price per bucket
Now for the New Haven road?
Tell in a gentle whisper
How did the coppers close?
Is it true Anaconda s
Lower than Gotham Hose?
Is A and T now selling
Ten points below’ Bud Wheel?
Speak; Is the quote on Eastman
Cheaper than Newton Steel?
Don't hesitate to tell me
What price Raybestas Man?
Will six or seven dollars
Buy full control of •'Can?”
Is J. I. Case still sinking?
And do the tables show
U. S. Tobacco lower
Than Eriggs or Radio?
Read on and spare me nothing—
Is motors down to three?
And is MGas’ selling under
Rumely or Armour B?
Oh. tel! me where is Timken
And where is Aicoho!?
Then bring a cup of poison—

It looks as if the fellow who called them blue chip
stocks was color blind.
_
T. G. H. reports hearing a man send his little boy
out to the market with a half dollar to buy two
pounds of railroad shares.
Add similes: As incongruous as a man in a rac-
coon coat selling apples.
The market swings are so violent these days that a
man may own a string of jumpers at the Horse Show
today and be out selling apples tomorrow.
American Dialogues
• Do you realize what it would mean to this coun-
try if there were no skyscrapers?”
• Sure. I do. There would be no Harold Lloyd com-
edies.
The Prince of Wales says he is a terrible golfer and
a terrible public speaker. Well in the latter case
he can't blame it on the clubs.
Add complete characterizations: The kind of wo-
man who thinks that because she bought an apple
from somebody she has done her bit to help America
readjust itself.
Vacent Office Space Largest
In History
And now the national association of building own-
ers and managers have reported that the amount
of vacant office space in the nation is the largest
in the last seven years. Furthermore the survey
covered 1960 office buildings in 43 principal cities
of the United States and Canada. If true why the
rush for the construction of skyscrapers In the
larger cities of the United States and Canada?

BEGIN HERE TODAY
Celia Mitchell 17 leaves Baltimore
where she has lived with her seam-
stress mother Margaret Rogers to
join her wealthy father John Mit-
chell in New' York. The parents are
divorced and Mrs. Rogers is a widow
following a second marriage.
Barney Shields young newspaper
photographer is in love with the
girl Mitchell asks Evelyn Parsons
beautiful widow to introduce his
daughter to other young people Mrs.
Parsons agrees considering Celia a
means to win Mitchells affections.
She soon becomes jealous of the
girl and schemes to get rid of her
by encouraging a romance between
Celia and Tod Jordan fascinating
but of dubious character.
Although Mitchell forbids Celia
to see Jordan she goes about with
the young man frequently. Lisi
Duncan a girl of Celia s age be-
comes her loyal friend. Shields
comes to New' York to work for a
photographic service and meets
Celia. She tells him she has lost her
heart to Jordan.
Realization that it is really
Shields she lores comes to Celia
when the young man is imprisoned
in a burning building. He escapes
unhurt except for a broken arm.
Mrs. Parsons who pretends to be
friendly to Shields goes to Mitchell
and tells him Celia is meeting the
young man surreptitiously. That
afternoon Celia and Shields are
strolling together when Mitchell
appears. He dismisses the young
man and takes Celia home. The girl
takes a train fer Baltimore and ar-
rives at her former home to find
her mother gone. She spends a day
searching vainly for clues to Mrs.
Rogers’ whereabouts. Mitchell ar-
rives and father and daughter are
reconciled. Mitchell promises to
locate Mrs Rogers and the two re-
turn to New York. Meanwhile in
that city Mrs. Parsons has invltea
Shields to take dinner with her.

CHAPTER L
Barney Shields strode into the
apartment living room wiui a
slightly nervous smile. His new eve-
ning clothes made him self-cons-
cious. He was also a trifle m awe
of the beautiful Mrs. Parsons
"Good evening! Oh. Mr. Shields
this is so good of you! I'm delight-
ed that you could come.”
Evelyn's voice was low and melo-
dious. She came to meet him look-
ing like a gold and white Grecian
goddess recreated in a modem set-
ting. Her gown was sheer draped
on classic lines that were neverthe-
less subtly new. The dress was low
cut. artfully following the figure ft
lacked ornament of any sort. About
her threat Evelyn wore a chain of
sapphires and diamonds and there
were sapphires in her enormous ear-
rings. Her hair looked radiantly
golden in the lamplight.
Shields could not fail to be Im-
pressed.
"How do you do.” he said. "I think
I'm lucky to be invited.”
The dazzling creature took his
hand and held It for an instant
Then she motioned toward the
davenport.
"Won't you sit down? Dinner will
be served very soon.”
Barney dropped to the luxurious
cushioned seat. Mrs. Parsons took
a chair close by. She knew a: that
angle the light on her face was
flattering.
"I appreciate your coming.” she
went on "because I know how much
in demand good-looking young men
are and how frightfully the flapper
crowd compete for them. Not many
would be willing to share an even-
ing with a woman of my age.*’
• Oh. but Mrs. Parsons you re not
eld!” The words were not gallantly
framed but they were sincere.
“Why. you can't be—well more
than a year or two older than i
am!”
“My dear boy! Certainly I must
reward you for that.” She lifted a
silver shaker from a tray and lin-
ed two fragile glasses. One aue
handed to the young man.
“Shall we drmk to youth?” she
asked smiling.
Shields answered her glance. “No
—to beauty I”
Evelyn's low laugh rippled de-
lightfully.
“Now I know some girl is in-
tensely jealous of me! I don't know
when I’ve heard so many compli-
ments. I shall set you down as a
deliberate heart-breaker.”
Shields grinned. “Oh. but I don't
go around with girls at all! I don’t
even know any—except Celia. Never
did have much to do with girls ex-
cept her. Where is Celia?”
“Oh I forgot you didn't know.
Really I'm surprised she didn t tell
you. Celia s spending a couple of
l days in the county with /fiends. It’s
a gay young crowd she's been see-
ing quite a lot of. You know Celia s
awfully popular. For a girl of—
well rather limited social experience
she surprises me every day. She
seems to have Just that little touch
that arouses men's interest—and
keeps them interested. You know
she seems to be such a child and
quite naive when actually she knows
perfectly what she is doing. She has
a way of making every man believe
she likes him best. Celia's going to
go far socially!”
m m m
“She's quite popular is she?'*
“Why of course! But then you
must know that. You’re such old
friends I'm sure you know Celia as I
v.ell as I do. Relly I'm extremely!
I fond of the child!”
Barney Shelds* eyes were averted.!
| “Maybe I don t know her as well as
I thought I did.” he said slowly.
Dinner was announced. Evelyn
was vivacious and smiling as she!
sat opposite the young man across
i a table of crystal silver and gleam- i
ir.g linen. When the conversation
seemed to lag Mrs. Parsons asked
' questions about his work.
He was to spend several days more
in idleness. Barney said indicating
his displeasure. A photographer
. v.uth one arm in a sling was of little
use. He was going to the office for1
a time every day and was becom-
ing familier with some of the office'
routine.
The young man talked eagerly of
the increasing possibilities of photo-
graphy. The whole world was be-
ccming eye-mlncea. he said. The
United States already depended up-
on photographs for first hand knowl-
edge of distant events.
He spoke of technical improve-
ments that were being made. Bar-
ney forgot that to Iris listener a
camera was a black box behind
‘ which a foreign gentleman stood
and threw a black cape over his
head saying ‘‘Look pleasant please.”
He became eloquent over a superior
impressively expensive lens and his (
own theories of timing.
1 Mrs. Parsons appeared to be great-
j !y interested. At last she reminded
him they had finished desert and
! the meal was ended. As they re-
! turned to the living room Barney
was still eagerly explaining how tht
camera caught “action pictures."
“You know I never dreamed your.

G. K. Chesterton famous English
novelist says. "Too many authors
seem to be indulging in a free-for-
all race fer bigger and better im-
morality."
Mr. Chesterton is doubtless right.
But we would say that too many
authors in an attempt to boost
sales and make their stories best-
sellers. are indulging in a ee-for-
all race for bigger and better im-
morality.
The more suggestive a story the
better it sells. And some of the
stories now are so suggestive no
suggestion is necessary.

Red Cross Drive
The annual Red Cross Drive
starts Monday and Rev. R. O.
Mackintosh who is in direct charge
this year urges that everyone
contribute something no matter
how much.
Due to heavy drains on the Red
Cross’ pocketbook during +*e past
year because of floods hurricanes
tornadoes volcanoes etc a great
deal of mcnev is needed.
Brownsville's quota is $1.500.
Brownsville's population is about
25000. Therefore if every man.
woman and child in Brownsville
gives as little as 6 cents the quota
is raised. If every father who has
a certain number of children and
a wife donates 6 cents for each
member of his family the quota
for the firs* time in many years.

v.ork was so fascinating!” Evelyn
said.
“Well of course it is to me. Lots
of people think it's pretty dull. I
like to talk to a person like you Mrs.
Parsons. You understand. You
know I've got three or four pictures
I'd like to show to you. There’s that
cloud stuff I made during the air
circus. They got me my job with
Apex. Then there's a parachute leap
and a shot I made of an engine.
Would you like to see them?”
“I’d love to!”
“Some time I'll show them to you.
Of course they're not wonderful but
—well. I'm sort of proud of them."
“Then I know they must be very
fine.” Evelyn lifted a box of cig-
arettes and offered Shields one of
them. There was a lighter on the
table. Shields flipped the mechan-
ism until it produced a flame held
it to light Evelyn’s cigaret and then
touched his own. He drew a deep
breath of smokp* exhaling slowly.
Mrs. Parsons poured two more
cocktails.
“You're going to be a very suc-
cessful young man.” she said. “You
ere going to make a name for vour-
self.”
“Well if I am. it's a l->ng wav off
now.”
Shields lifted his glass. Evelyn
Parsons drank at the same time
eyeing the young man o^er the rim
of the goblet. She was smiling.
“May I call you Barney?" she ask-
ed
• Of course That's what everyone
calls me. Makes me uncomfortable
when I hear folks say Mr. Shields.
Impulsively Barney leaned forward
“You've been awfully nice to me."
he said boyishly. “You seem to un-
derstand things. There's one thing
I want to know terriblv. You can
tell me. Will you do it?”
"Why. my dear boy. If there's
any way that I can—cf course I
will!”
“Thanks. You see T could talk
to you about it better than to any-
body else.” Shields had put do n
his glass and his gray eyes were
solemn. “I'm awfully fond cf Ce- '
lia " he began and then hesitated
“Naturally. We all are'”
“Yes but you see I fee! dlff.r-
cntly. Well anyhow. I mean—
hsten. Mrs. Parsons what I want *
to ask you is do you think Celia I
cares anything about me?”
“I'm sure she's fond of you—”
“Oh. but that Isn't what I mean! ;
I love Celia! I ala-ays have ever
since the day I met her. Do you
—do you think she’d marry me?”
“Oh!” The exclamation was sharp
high-pitched.
“She must have said something
to you about the way she feels.”
8h!elds persisted. “You’ve seen her
with these other fellows. Tell me!
Do you think I have a chance’”
“But didn't you know?” Evelvn
exclaimed. “Oh. I'm so sorry! My
dear boy I thought of course vou
knew—”
“Knew what?”
“Why—oh. I don't know what to
sav? I supoosed of course she had
told you. Celia assured me vou and
she were such clcse friends!”
“What is it she didn't *e!l me?
What do vou mean?”
Evelyn Parsons took the voung
man's hands in hers. “This hurts
me deeoly.” she said in a moving
voice. “T do think Celia should
have told you he’-self. Of course
it's not announced generally yet.
but Celia's to be married. I sup-
posed you knew!”
“Married? You mean Celia's
promised someone else? They're
engaged’ Oh I suppose it's that
Jordan!”
• • •
Evelyn grasped at the sugges-
tion. “Yes” she said. “She’s going
to marry Tod Jordan. Perhaps I
shouldn't have said anything.
Perhaps I should have let her be
the one!”
Barney Shields shook his heda
gloomily. “No. it's better to know
since it's true. I suppose I might
have guessed!”
He was silent leaning back in
his chair and staring straight
ahead. Evelyn looked at Shields
uncertainly. She lifted the shaker
and refilled his glass. He took it
drank it without a word.
“If there were only anything I
could do.” Evelvn murmured.
“There isn't!” Suddenly the
young man rose to his feet. “Well.

Mrs._ Parsons” he said with a
forced voice “it was certainly kind
of you to have me here. Id better
be getting along now. Hope I
didn’t bore you with all that talk
about photographs.”
“I enjoyed every word of it!
Must you go?”
“Yes I think 111 ha\e to be on
my way.”
“You’ll come again wont you?
Celia will be back in a day or two
I’m sure.”
Barney smiled ironically. "I'd
like to.” he said “but I imagine
Celia will be rather busy. Good
night. Mrs. Parsons and thank you
again.”
"Good night.”
Evelyn's hand closed over the
young man's and clung for an in-
stant. but It was only too evident
that though his eyes were on hers
he did not really see her. Quickly
he turned and left the apartment.
It was an hour later that John
Mitchell and his dausrhter arrived.
Mrs. Parsons greeted them cor-
dially. kissed Celia and assured the
girl she was delighted to see her.
There was a little talk and then
Mitchell departed. Celia went to
the room she had called hers.
Everything was as she had left It.
She undressed bathed and got In-
to bed. Before she turned the light
out Evelyn knocked.
•Celia’* she said as she opened
the door “I Just wanted to tell
you dear that I'm terribly sorry
for the way things turned out the
other day. Truly I thought I was
acting for the best! I though. Td
have more influence with your fv*<
ther if he believed I didn’t know
Barney. It was Just a little plot
for your benefit darling. I’ve been
miserable ever since”
“Thats ill right" Celia said
sleepily.
•’You dear!'1 Evelyn stopped and
kissed the girl’s cheek before ihe
departed.
The following day was to prove
eventful.
