Senator Wagner, chairman of:the national labor board, disclosed today he is working on legislation to revise the labor section of the national re- covery act, and to vest additional powers in the labor board. Shorter working hours were advo- cated by Wagner also, but he ex- pressed belief the reductions should be made by code authorities and ad- ministrators, rather than by con- gress. "I favor a reduction of hours," he said, "but I don't want to see an in- flexible rule. As a general proposi- tion, I feel that prevailing hours are too high." Leaders of the Federation of La- bor, and Chairman Connery of the house labor committee, however, were outspoken in advocating a 30- hour week for all the nation's in- dustries. Connery also was critical of the enforcement of the NRA.

Lennan, who is described by the Times as "a bright girl of 14," and it then attracted the attention of Commander R. T. Gould, wlso has made a study of the sea monster myth. He believes the monster could exist in Loch Ness quite nicely. It was seen, too, from a tug by Mr. Robert McConnell. The Scotsman, which wants the world to take this monster story with thetproper amount of respect, says of this: "The fact that the creature was sighted from a boat should go far to remove what scepticism remains." Business enterprise has not been neglecting the beast. W. Alexander & Sons, Ltd., has applied to the Traf- fic Commissioners of Southern Scot- land for a license to run a bus to the loch for the purpose of trans- porting all people, if any, who want to take a look at the monster, if it is. Legislative authority is not lacking either. Sir M. Macdonald, M. P. for Inverness-shire, has proposed an Act of Parliament for the "protection" of the monster. 30 HOMES DESTROYED PONCE, Puerto Rico, Jan. 6. - ({P) - Fire destroyed 30 small homes to- day.

Cleaning When Your Clothes Are "Microcleaned" No Excess Oil Is Left In Them to Pick Up Dust and Dirt .. . T HE Microcleaning Process thoroughly dissolves and rinses out all the grease and dirt. It does not leave a residue of fine oils or grease in the fibers to pick up dust and dirt, yet it does not affect the natural oils in the fibers themselves. Absolutely no strong harsh chemicals, that might "tender" the fabrics, are used - the finest silks and woolens can be safely Micro- cleaned because of this. 10% Discount For Cash 1 Facts 40 Just Plain Well-Cooked Food At A Price You Can Afford to Pay Broiled Texas Steer T-Bone Steak . . . . . . . . . 19c Chicken a la King with Mushrooms on Biscuit . . . 15c Broiled Boneless Sirloin Steak, Butter Gravy. . . . 15c Baked Swift's Premium Virginia Style Ham . . . . 15c Roast Prime Ribs of Beef au jus . . ....... 15c Breaded Milk-fed Veal Chop, Applesauce . . . . 14c Fried Deep Sea Scallops, Tartar Sauce . . . . . 15c For even greater economy - meal tickets $5.50 for $5.00 THE TAVERN CAFETERIA mike fingerle, prop. 338 Maynard Street 00M% 000% 0p S S S rt+ . {,'t ; is :Y : d? ;.; ? ,;a.
