Washington, is a typical Fig Syrup baby. Here is what ber mother says: “My sister praised California Fig Syrup very highly, so when Jean began having colds I got some for her. It opened her bowels quickly, made her rest easily at night. “I have used Fig Syrup with Jean for three years for every upset. It has kept her strong and vigorous.” For fifty years, wise mothers have n secure in the knowledge that a child’s headachy, bilious, feverish or fretful spells can be quickly and safe- overcome by California Fig Syrup. hysicians recommend its soothing aid to keep the bowels clear in colds, or children’s ailments; or whenever bad grulh. coated tongue, or list- less: warn of constipation.

Reporting to the Voteless District of Columbia League of Woman Voters on & recent survey, made of the operations of the eight-hour law for women work- ers in the District, Mrs. Spencer Gor- don yesterday pointed out that many important groups of workers are not included in the law and that other groups are not benefiting by the full degree of limitation intended by Con- gress. The report was rendered at the semi- annual meeting of the league at the Carltan Hotel, with the result that the survey was ordered referred to the Ex- ecutive Board for further study with a view to sending it ultimately to the District Commissioners with recom- mendations for changes in the law. City Officials Attend. Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer, presi- dent of the Board of District Commis. sioners, evinced his interest in the mat ter by attending the luncheon meeting, as did other officials of the District gov. ernment who are connected with the administration of the law. Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the Women's Bu- reau, wko, with Miss Agnes Peterson of her burean, directed the study on be- half of the league, introduced Mrs, noe 1014, v passed Since , When Congress the law limiting. hours of .woman, workers in the District to, eight haurs. and six days. pey. § ed out, citjzens’ of prided themselves ‘thaf their - woman ers_were Not working exces- sive hours.

While, otbers sane outside the law,’this last distinction be- ing due not to differences in work per- formed but to the nature of the or- ganization hiring the women. “‘Moreover, for many years the ruling has been in effect that women who worked 48 hours a week could work on each of seven days in the week,” Mrs. said, though the debates in Congress show that the Congressmen thought they were passing a law which required ‘one ‘full day of rest in every seven days. Not only has the law been interpreted so as to cripple its useful- ness, but also its effective enforcement, 88 far as the women who are clearly covered by its provisions, is hampered because, with the great growth of Washington since 1914, no additional inspectors have been provided to cover the additional woman workers.” Whereas the women once affected by the law numbered about 14,000, Mrs Gordon said, the number now is far greater. New Interpretation Sought. ‘The Voteless District of Columbia League of Women Voters ‘hopes to work with the District officials to secure new ipterpretations or amendments to clar- [Afy ambiguities restricting enforce- ment and to secure more adequate or- ganization to enforce the law. Mrs. Gordon explained that the study was one of the plans of the Consum- ers’ League and was taken over by the League of Women Voters. A study of similar laws in 10 States was made, particularly those of New York and | Wisconsin. One of the conclusions reached by the survey, she said, was that many cases of alleged violation could, with advantage, be kept out of the courts. In addition to Commissioner Reichel- derfer, representatives of the District government attending the meeting were Dr. Edward J. Schwartz of the Health . | Department and Thomas F. Cameron of Dr i the corporation counsel's office. 3 John A. Ryan, who was president of the | | Consumers’ League when the survey first was started, also was a guest. ‘Will Exhibit Berryman Cartoons.
