REAL CHANCE SEEN (FOR J0HOUR WEEK Miss Perkins Asserts Black| Bill Will Be Given “Se- rious Consideration.” Wy the Associated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 13.—Miss Prances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, night asseried the Black bill to es- tablish a 30-hour work week “has a yeal chance for serious consideration.” Miss Perkins spoke at a meeting at which Gov. Pinchet said the two prob- lems raised by the economic distress are the care of the unemployed and yepsanable security for workers against future disaster. The addresses were made at a meet- g sponsored by the Pennsylvania Fed- eration of Labor, the Pennsylvania La- her Standards Commission and the State Department of Labor and Industry. Program of Standards, Miss Perkins gave a program of labor tandards as: Minimum wage standards, shorter werk day, abolition of child labor, old- pensions, security for workers, sani- tation and prevention of industrial dis- esses and accidents and better housing for_ workers. $ She asserted every one wants ‘‘prog- yess to social and industrial justice with peace” and added that her program eould be accomplished “in the gnmedl- ate future.” Miss Perkins, in speaking of the 30- hour work week, said many manufac- turers and managers of great industries favored such legislation as a curb on *yncivilized competition in industry.” ‘Want Wages Pegged. Bhe asserted the prevajli request for modification of the Black bill was to in- clude some way of pegging wages so *they will not fall lower.” The next contribution of workers’ Jeaders, she said, should be to see that all working people receive the “benefits that organized groups have been able to secure.” She asserted the safety of democratic institutions rests on the high level of purchasing power of the wage earners and asserted that there should be a minimum below which wages could net go.

He took & cigar and lighted it with ob- vious enjoyment. “I confess I don't understand at all,” said Thomas. “It seems . .. " “Don’t look so terribly sad about it." Krieglacher interrupted again. “That's quite inappropriate, for it must be a certain ethical satisfaction for an ob- server to see how uncontrolled passions are punished and if the guilty one is A man of science, his fall is all the greater and his punishment all the more just. Do you know what finally helped me to bear by misfortune I analyzed my life just as I would have a compli- cated hand of cards and I found out the mistake I had made. I had to lose the game.” “And now? asked Thamas. “Now I am going to America. I have recommendations gnd connections. After I get my American medical certificate I could probably find work at some university or other. But I don't want to. I don't want to make out any fur- ther doctor's bills and I don't want to sit around card tables any longer. I in- tend to go to the Far West where there are no universities and no clubs, and all top few first-el trained doctors na Kaus— and surgeons. but where many poor devils are left to die like animals be- cause the great surgeons live in towns where they can make more money. I don’t need very much, an operating room and instruments, a good assist- ant and a nurse. 1 will get those | through my recommendations and con- rections . . . And never again in my life will I touch a card.” | Soan after sunrise Thomas awoke and | couldn’t get to asleep again. While he was lying there with his eyes wide open | he knew perfectly well that Sybil, who was accustomed to sleeping late, would not come to see him at an early morn- ing hour like this. Sybil might at least have sent me a | line to tell me when and where the in- | terview might take place, he thought. | It had hardly occurred to him that Sybil might do this when he was convinced that she would do it. He simply could not_imagine Sybil's giving no thought to the restless torment which she must know he was suffering while waiting for her. Toward half-past 6 he got up. Toward half-past 7 he was with Stephenson. Toward 8 with Mrs. Weber. “Shall I really get across?” asked the patient. And. as if she might persuade to a photograph in the pine frame on the table. Thoma: lied with HOW TO GET RID OF ACID STOMACH According to many authorities, some 80% of the people of today have acid stomach. This because so many foods, comprising the modern diet, are acid forming foeds. It usually makes itself felt in sour stomach, indigestion, head- aches, nausea, “gas,” “biliousness,” and most frequently in stomach pains that come about thirty minutes after eating. So you can easily tell if you have it. Now Quickly and Easily Corrected If you do have acid stomach, don't worry about it. You can correct it in a‘very simple manner. Just do this.

The nurse smiled too, with confidence. “She is an angel,” sald Mrs. Weber to Thomas. “Of course, she is, but she doesn't like he replied with a “No. simply because it isn't true’” said Martha and blushed with displeas- ure. But immediately afterward she sald with her usual gentleness: “How can I be an angel if I am not even re- ligious? I don't suppose I have said my prayers since I was 7 years old.” There was a letter on the desk when ‘Thomas returned to his consultation room. He saw immediately that it hadn’t been Sybil who had written his name on the envelope. In spite of that he was convinced it was from her. Ac- tually, it was from Julie Kaposi. “You have treated me abominably and I have hated you all day long. It is now 3 o'clock in the morning and I haven't closed an eye. There is still a light in cabin 35. I can see it dance across the dark waves when I look out ‘of the window.

If you think it would comfort you to with a woman who has experienced and suffered much you won't have to put your shoulder out of joint at my doo: Thomas had not given a single fur- ther thought to Julie. He was surprised that an experience can so quickly be completely obliterated. He tare yp the letter, and threw it in the waste basket. He began his morning rounds, knocked at various doors, saying “Good morn- ln% and “How are you?" He passed ga ins 35 and 36; he also passed cabin 4. On the foredeck Boris Mergentheim was sitting in a deck chair, and beside him Prince Vladmir on a camp stool. The nurse was leaning against the rail- ing at a discreet distance. Mergentheim was telling about his war experiences.

I drank myself into a stupor, but I did not take mor- phine. I was afraid of it. I wanted to become a whole man again and true soldier. You know I was an officer in active service?” Thomas nodded. Priederike had told him. “It was in January, '22," said 2 3 & Boris, about our war and post-war ex- periences. One of us lacked a leg, other had his face torn to bits, some had torn shoes, others had fat jobs on the stock exchange. One had married a rich business woman, another was employed by an American woman of ancient vintage as secretary.
