CODE SETTING Dill WE ADOPTED HERE Uniform Scale Provided Under Fair Competition Act Asked By Plant Operators Adoption of a code of fair competition by which regulation of the dyeing and cleaning industry of San Bernardino will be effected was voted by the city council yesterday. The code, its operation to be financed by the cleaners themselves, fixes a maximum and minimum price schedule designed to eliminate what the dyers described as "ruinous price sets a wage scale for employes of all plants, provides collective bargaining by workers arijd sets up a board to enforce the code. FINANCE PROGRAM A committee of dyers, F. W. Roups, W.

L. Purciel, Harold G. Lord and E. E. Williams, appeared before the council to pledge financing of the code enforcement, the plant operators paying a nominal assessment for this purpose.

The purpose of the code, as presented by the cleaners follows: "Increasing employment, establishing fair and adequate wages, effecting necessary reduction of hours, improving; standards of labor and eliminating unfair trade practices and ruinous price-cutting evils. PROPOSE BOARD "Participation is to include press shop operators, tailors and commission drivers, besides cleaners and dyers." The code provides that the membership shall elect a code of executive authority of three members for two-year terms each and will collect fees and dues and hear all complaints.

The code sets a minimum charge of 85 cents cash and carry or 90 cents call for and delivered for cleaning and pressing men's suits. That would mean an increase of approximately 10 to 15 cents over prices now charged.

ffly CHAPTER 17 The open carriage rolled leisurely along the Champs Elysces. In it were Mary and Sergei. "Sergei, do ask him to hurry. It's nearly 2. If I leave Anetka alone with the decorators, we'll not have a penny left.

She has developed a flair for sheer spendthriftiness if there is such a word." "Do not worry about Anetka," her companion soothed. "I don't worry about her, She has been perfectly marvelous since the very beginning. Oh, Sergei, when I think how nervous and hesitant I was once when I asked her to throw out all those old Russian things and fix up that first little front room! But in that, as in everything else, she has been understanding and co-operative. Only now, I'm afraid she is a little too enthusiastic about the news. She is going, as we say in America, completely haywire." "Anetka is completely under your spell.

She does nothing without you. And well that she should regard you." Mary smiled and looked at her watch for the third time in five minutes. She begrudged every minute spent away from the center of activities. The draperies man had promised to arrive at she had been trying to get him for the last three weeks. "Had you not come to save her," Sergei continued, "she would be forever in the shop above the tobacconist.

You are the little genius. How do you do Mary resigned herself to the slowness of their pace. "I don't do anything, Sergei." Indeed, she could not believe that she and she alone had wrought miracles out of her enthusiasm and hard work. "Anetka had all the things to begin with: the shop, the customers, the materials and the credit. I happened to do things they liked the customers and I asked a little more money and they like to pay more." "So now you spend more money and move into a big shop." "Not a big one, Sergei.

But one with a window. We shall make our fortunes, you will see!" Sergei sighed and a long shudder ran through his powerful frame. "You American women! You and your fortunes. I do not want Anetka to make a fortune. I want her to marry me." "I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she does, my friend, and one day you shall live as you lived In Petro-grad." He sighed again and was lost in his memories.

Mary was glad for the silence she had figures to battle with, problems to meet. There was, in addition to the many things to be done in the new shop, the old one to keep going, orders to be finished. And at last the new one was ready. Three days before the opening, the last of the models to be shown in the manner of the graifd collections at the great houses were completed. That night Mary dressed in her smartest clothes a black faille suit, topped with Anetka's scarf of Russian sables, a travel coat over her aim, two expensive traveling bags (borrowed) and a "jewel case" reg istered at the Ritz and was shown to the suite of rooms she engaged.

This was no mere whimsy on Mary's part. "We must have the guest list at the Ritz and send them cards of invitation to visit our shop," she had said to Anetka. "That's the way the great houses do things. I'll apply a little American business method to the situation, and for a few hundred francs we'll get the mailing list." Triumphantly she returned to the shop with an imposing list and was forever silent on her means of getting it. The very first day the shop was opened they made two new clients and served cocktails to nearly a hundred of their old ones.

ANETKA. The name of the shop appeared in small gold letters outlined in black in the small window where a single gown was displayed. Within there was a small salon. No "front" room for these girls. A salon it was.

And so cleverly decorated and lighted that you had the impression there were rooms and rooms beyond. There were, but they were merely two small dressing rooms, an infinitesimal office, and a spacious work-room. The salon was decorated in a soft shade of blue with silver to give it an atmosphere that was at once restful and chic. The sofas and chairs and tables had low levels to give the room height; the lights cast a flattering glow on the many mirrors that gave it depth, and the carpet was rich and deep and felt luxurious under foot. Mary's daring had almost stopped with the purchase of that rug.

It would take many stitches to pay for it. It meant that she and Anetka could not have the vacation in Switzerland they had planned, but what were vacations compared to this bold gesture on which so much depended? Mary Was determined that their small scale shop would be a gem at whatever personal sacrifice she had to make. She abandoned her plan to move from the Pension to a small apartment and allottea the extra sum to pay for the serv ices of a small Chinese maid in costume who served a cocktail, or a cup of tea if you preferred. In those first few summer months, when the tourist trade was at its peak, ANETKA did not do the flourishing business that Mary had hoped for. But it survived and it was young.

In August and September It picked up and Mary and Anetka were to congratulate each other and wonder how it happened. There wu the wife of an American senator who came in one day and brought her friends the next week. There were the two ex-chorus girl brides of rich men. There were others who discovered if the prices at ANETKA were not cheap, they were not as high as the larger houses. And who, in Duluth, or Buffalo, or Omaha was to know that you hadn't paid 8,000 francs for a gown that looked worth it? They began to talk about the shop.

"This Barat" Mary Barrett had begun to sign her name Mari Barat "studies you. She talks to you leisurely about your hobbies, your pursuits, the sort of person you'd like to be. Then she asks you to come back she doesn't sketch for you while you are there and the next time she shows you the things you've always dreamed about. Somehow, she has a way of knowing what you want." So they talked. "Remember how dreadfully that Mrs? Ewing used to dress in her tailored things? Well, my dears, this Barat tells her that she has an inferiority complex, that she is the Diana type and Mrs.

Ewing comes back and knocks out everybody's eye." "And what she does in the way of line to make your Tiips By November Mari and Anetka knew that they were established. And with that knowledge, Mari felt the first stirring of discontent. She was beginning to learn that a career did not fill her life.

Composed of Commissioners Harold P. Thompson, J. L.

Triipe and James D. Sullivan, the special com mittee will make a report of a survey of the proposal. The session will be held in the assembly room of the Municipal auditorium. Members of the commission two weeks ago described the move as "vitally necessary to meet the rapid growth of San Bernardino." "We have continual applications for conditional exception and the area south of Base Line and north of Third street, between I street and Sierra Way, is really not good for anything but duplex, multiple dwelling and business construction," Mr. Thompson said in requesting that the investigation be conducted.

Commissioner Harry F. Graney said that "under the existing conditions we must take action on this matter. We must do away with spot zoning and attempt to centralize the zones for such construction."

Ranger Asks County Buy Plane for Patrol Service Proposing that San Bernardino county unite with the state forestry department in purchasing an airplane for patrol service, Russell Z. Smith, state forester in this district, yesterday appeared before the board of supervisors to request an appropriation of $500 toward the cost of a ship. The plane, he explained, would be available for both the state foresters and the county sheriff's department for patrolling the undeveloped areas, both during the fire hazard season and the winter months.

The state, he said, would pay toward the cost of the plane, the state and county jointly hiring a transport pilot to operate the ship on an hourly basis. Mr. Smith explained to the su Requests for Liquor Licenses Are Listed Ten applications for liquor licenses or renewals were received by the board of supervisors yesterday. The notices were forwarded to the board by the state board of equalization.

Forest service rented an airplane for 60 hours and his department used a ship for 30 hours at an average rental of $25 an hour. The ship which he proposed the county and state purchase could be rented, he said, to the U. S. Forest service. It would be kept at the Shandin Hills airport.

The supervisors delayed a decision on Mr. Smith's request for the appropriation, asking further details as to the cost of operation and a statement from Sheriff Emmett L.

Donald R. Griffith, 20 years old, driver of the motorcycle and B. C. Clark, also 20, who was riding with him, were injured when they were hurled over a car after a head-on collision, said Frank J. Freeman, captain of the California highway patrol.

They are under the care of Dr. F. E. Clough who said that the condition of both was "only fair." Both suffered severe head injuries. Griffith is the most seriously injured.

Griffith struck the top of the sedan with terrific force, leaving a deep impression in the steel top. His head was battered by the impact. Mathias Haugen, 56, also of Long Beach, was the driver of the machine, traveling north on the Lake Arrowhead road. The sailors are assigned to the U. S.
