Gradual Reduction
Work Week to
30 Hours Proposed
Chicago (U.R) A high rank
ing union official here has pro
posed a gradual reduction in the
work week to 30 hours.
Michael J. Boyle of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Elec
tricians, (AFL), said the nation
may be in for another depres
sion.
Boyle, vice president of the
nation's 6th district, voiced the
opinion at a meeting of district
leaders.
"For over a decade our in
dustrial economy has been on
a high level of production and
consumption due to a war-time
and defense program, he said.
"As we adjust to a peace-time
production, a decline from this
high level is certain. Such a
decline may well carry within it
the seeds of another depression."
Boyle said millions of workers
have been recruited and trained
to meet the needs of expanded
production and would be thrown
into idleness by a decline of ser
ious proportions.
He called for preventive meas
ures, and said that "one very
practical and highly important
measure is to reduce the length
of the work day and work week."
"We propose that the present
standard of five eight-hour work
days be reduced gradually to
five six-hour work days without
any reduction in take-home pay,"
he said.
"In certain industries such as
transportation, where it may not
be feasible or practical to read
ily so reduce the work day, an
eight-hour work day may be re
tained but the work week re
duced from five to four days."
Womon Faints After
Punching Policeman
Maryville, Tenn. U.R) A
young mother of two children
became so excited when she saw
her husband being led to jail
that she struck the arresting of
ficer with her fist. The punch
was leved at a 200-pouii high
way patrolman, John Marshall,
who admitted "the lick kinda
stunned me." Marshall said the
100-pound assailant must have
felt the effects of the attack,
too. She fainted.

Psychologists Ease
Billboard Reading
Ithaca, N. Y. U.R) Psy
chologists at Cornell university
have decided how to make bill
board advertising easier to read.
Their studies showed.
The brand name should be as
close as possible to the left of
the slogan or sentence. Words
become progressively harder to
read the farther they are to the
right of the message.
The brand name should be dis
tinctive in size, color or shape
from other words. However, if
the difference is too great, both
it and the rest of the sentence
become harder to read.
Lines, arrows or curves, es
pecially in a different color from
the words, "pull" attention to
the brand name and sentence. A
square, circle or other outline
in the same color surrounding
the brand name cut down legib
ility. Canyonville Bible

First Role in 1899

eran showman, Harry Hale, who
lives in Lincoln, says he gave
Will Rogers his first try-out on
the stage.
"Nobody remembers," the 73-year-old
Hale said, "but you can
look it up. Young Will got his
first stage job with Harry Hale
& Associated Players at New
York City in 1899. Ziegfeld pick
ed him up five years later."
Hale said his father, Harry
Hale, Sr., also was a showman
and was backstage at Fords
Theater the night President
Abraham Lincoln was shot. Hale,
the junior, said the assassin
"nearly knocked my father over
when he ran through the wings
and made his getaway."

Best Laid Plans
Of Woman Go Awry
Hastings, Neb. (U.P.) Even
the best laid plans of the most
careful women sometimes go
awry.
A Hastings woman was all
dressed in her new formal to go
to a very special party. She
placed the key to the house in
its usual hiding place so her
husband' could get into the house
when he arrived home.
On her way out the front
door to wait for her cab she
caught her dress in the door just
as it slammed shut, snapping the
night lock.
A passing motorist spied the
lady in distress and was iold
where the key was. He found
the key, opened the back door,
went through the house and re
leased the woman.
The lady was ready to go
when the cab arrived.
