LOIR SO. AMERICA
IN FEAR OF
PAOE TWO
Must Work Six Days Per
Week "As In Capitalist
Countries" Danger Seen
Moscow, June 26. (JP) Be
cause of increasing war danger
and the need of greater produc
tion, the soviet Russian govern
ment adopted today a new work
ing week six days of work
and a day of rest to replace
Its revolutionary week of five
working days and a day of rest
on the sixth.
Abandonment of the six-day
week, which was a feature of
the changes wrought by the Bol
shevist revolution, was recom
mended by the soviet trade
unions and adopted by the government.
The soviet radio said that the
number of working hours had
been Increased in capitalistic
countries, and added that "dan
ger for our country also Is in
creasing," and that it was, there
fore, necessary to step up the
number of working days and
hours to improve the nation's
defense.
Like Capitalists.
In a message to all workers,
technicians, engineers, office
employes and members of the
trade unions, the all union cen
tral council of trade unions
said:
"Throughout the capitalist
world Europe, Asia and Amer
ica, Africa and Australia In
dustry and transportation facil
ities and agriculture have been
fully subordinated to the inter
ests of war.
"The screw of capitalist ex
ploitation has been tightened to
the limit, workers work 10, 12
and more hours a day, all Sun
days and holidays have been
abolished. Through this uni
versal militarization of economy
the imperialist states have tre
mendously Increased the pro
duction of all armaments.
"Thus the war danger for our
country has grown, and the in
ternational situation becomes
fraught with suprises."

10 EXCESS.
INVESTIGATORS FIND
Chicago (U.R) Excessive
drinking, especially among per
sons between 20 and 30 years
old, has increased greatly in the
last three years, according to
Charles R. Jones, executive vice
president of the American Busi
ness Mens Research Founda
tion.
"A survey reveals that in the
younger age group two out of
five men and one out of twelve
women drink in such amounts
as to constitute in many cases
sub-standard risks for life insur
ance companies," Jones said.
Jones said the foundation was
conducting an analysis of the ex
periences of Insurance com
panies as concerns drinking ha
bits. "Drinking habits, we ' have
found, are responsible for one
of the most difficult situations
ever to arise in the life insur
ance business," he said,
"Many directors and under
writers are advising us that they
are forced either to decline out
right or to accept only at spec
ial high rates, more applicants
for life insurance for excessive
drinking habits than for any
other cause," Jones said.
One company reported that
for each 100 applications re
jected 24 Indulged excessively
in liquor.
"With high blood pressure
and serious heart ailments, both
frequently the results of drink
ing, they are responsible for
more rejections than all other
causes combined," Jones said.

A Footsore Faille
Once upon a time there was a man who was lest. He
wandered around for days, trying to find his way
home. He would walk five miles down one road, until
he discovered that it didn't lead to where he wanted to
go, and then he would walk down another road. He was
very unhappy, and his feet hurt.
After a long time he met another man, and asked for
directions. The second man looked at him and said,
"Isn't that a map sticking out of your pocket?"
"Yes," said the man who was lost.
"Then why don't you look at the map, and find out
which road you should take?"
"My gocdness!" said the lost man, "I never thought
of that!"
Why should you wander all over town, looking for val
ues and geed buys, when you'll find an up to-the-minute
shopping map in the advertisements in this paper?
The answer is, of course: You shouldn't!
Save yourself many weary footsteps and precious,
hard-earned dollars, by reading the advertisements
carefully, every day.
