A—16 = VHGEHOUR BL HEARINESDELAYED Senate and House Commit- tees Will Start Taking Tes- timony Tomorrow. Still hopeful of completing their hearings by June 15, the Senate and House Labor Committees today de- layed until tomorrow the taking of initial testimony in connection with the Black-Connery wage and hour bill. ‘The hearings were scheduled to be- gin today, but the holiday week end | made it inconvenient for scheduled witnesses to appear before tomorrow. As originally scheduled, Assistant Attorney General Robert H. Jackson will be the first witness. Active in successful defense of the constitution- ality of some of the major social leg- islation of the present administration, Jackson is expected to address himself | particularly to constitutional aspects | of the proposed law. Claudius T. Murchison, president of the Cotton Textile Institute, also is scheduled for appearance on the first day. | In brief, the bill would bar from interstate commerce the products of | industries which pay less than a minz imum wage, work more than a max- imum hour figure, employ minors or | violate certain other labor standards. The wage and hour figures are not | fixed in the bill. l THE WEATHER ' District of Columbia—Local thun- dershowers this afternoon or tonight; not quite so warm tonight; tomorrow | fair and slightly cooler; gentle to moderate southwest shifting to north | winds. | Maryland—Partly cloudy. preceded by local thundershowers in east por- tion this afternoon or night: not quite | s warm in central and west portions tonight; tomorrow fair and slightly cooler. | Virginia—Partly cloudy, preceded by Incal thundershowers in east portion this afternoon or night; tomorrow fair end slightly eooler in north portion.

Today’s Another “Holiday” Number of Celebrations Taxing Calen- dar: AYS come, days go. So long as they do, there will always be the days we celebrate. Now the days we celebrate are & mighty and a motley crew. There is, for instance, mother-in-law day. That was started by Eugene Howe, the eccentric Texas editor of Ama- rillo. There is, also, Father's day. In the immediate future you might even get brother-in-law day—to cele~ brate the day your brother-in-law gets a job. Sister-in-law day, too, to com- memorate the time when your sister- in-law stops sticking her nose in the family business. Trying to name the baby, for instance. So we contemplate the days we cel- ebrate, Today is Marquette day. Mere mention of the fact may send some people scurrying to the reference books. Who was Marquette? Why does he have a day on which we celebrate? What did he do? And| what of it? Well, Marquette day is named in honor of Pere Jacques Marquette, the great missionary priest, who was also an explorer in his own right—the re- discoverer of the Mississippi Memorial day, or Decoration day, | everybody knows about. There are, however, in the Amer- ican calendar more days than a cat has lives—more days we celebrate. ,TO MARQUETTE Representative Hatton W. Summers of Texas, chairman of Judiciary Committee, is beginning to | wonder if there are actually enough | days in the year to keep up with the | the House | demand. “We just haven't got enough days Month.

If they all went through you would have such festivities as harvest day, arbor day, ‘liberty day, patriot’s day and peace day—to mention only a tew. St. Patrick's day is the only holi- day that has never had a sponsor in Congress. No one ever comes forth with the proposition to make St. Patrick’s day in the morning a na- tional holiday—and there’s a reason. It is the only day that goes on its own momentum, celebrated alike by Irish, German and Jew. Strange-as it may seem, Thanks- giving day is not a national holiday. In order to be national holidays the days we celebrate must be observed by all the States in the Union, and Utah does not celebrate Thanksgiving day, officially. The Nation celebrates many other days, known as legal or public holi~ days. There are 12 of these: Jan- uary 1, New Year day; February 12, Lincoln's birthday; February 22, Washington's birthday; Good Friday, a movable feast; May 30, Decoration CLOSE WINDOWS © SPRAY FLIT o FLIES DIE Now obtainable everywhere at popular prices | or Memoria] day; July 4, Independ- ence day; the first Monday in Sep- tember, Labor day; October 12, Co- lumbus day; the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, elec- tion day, in all States but Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ohio and Vermont; November 11, Armistice day; the last Thursday in November, Thanksgiving Day, and December 25, Christmas. Actually, and under constitutional law, there is no such thing as a na- tional holiday, since Congress has N - oz Qs s Z [ -y authority to declare a holiday only in the territory over which it has supreme jurisdiction—the District of Columbia and all its voteless sister provinces and territories, such as Hawalii and the like. When Congress declares for a holiday the other States may follow suit, if they see fit, and thus there is national observance. Now it happens th persons Saddlery and T n “ " K Luggage Repairing of Leather Goods G. W.King, jr.,, 511 11th St. N.W. throughout the country, for one rea- son or another, are constantly be- seeching Congress to declare such and such a day a national holiday. Each year the Congress is presented with certain bills that, if passed, would add these days to the list—days such as Marquette day—but those days are only temporary holidays, in that they are for this year or that year only. Not permanent. There is a bill now pending in the Senate, for instance, which would declare April 13, each year, Thomas Jefierson day. That bill has passed the House. 1If it gets by the Senate and each State in turn accepts it, | April 13 hereafter will be Jefferson day. Another bill would make October The Train SECRETARY Types Your Letters on the CAPITOL LIMITED to Chicago Lv.Union Sta. . 11, the day before Columbus day, Pulaski day, in honor of the great revolutionary hero, Gen. Casimir Pulaski of Poland. A total of 36 separate bills are in Congress to promote Pulaski day. The idea is to make it a permanent holiday. In 1935 one of the temporary days celebrated was Leif Erikson day. Mother’s day is another perennial, and there are bills now in the Judiclary Committee which would make the third Sunday in each June Father's day. The Seventy-third Congress en- tertained a resolution t> make Mother's day a permanent -holiday, but nothing happened. In the.list of temporary days are such outstanding ones as Army day and Navy day, and now there is a «4:40 P.M. Lv.SilverSpring Sta. 4:54 P.M. Ar.Chicago . . . < 8:15 A M.
