Haiw A uiiilro tti Oiirrn'i Says a Physician Wife Wages in Michigan AVERAGE weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing industries are higher in Michigan, according to figures compiled for the wage-hour administrator, than in any other highly industrialized state in the union. The average weekly factory wage in Michigan is $30.

The minimum wage fixed by the Federal wage-hour law is now 25 cents an hour for a 44-hour week, which is equivalent to a weekly wage of $11. Six years from now the minimum wage will be 40 cents an hour for a 40-hour week, which will mean a weekly wage of $16. Average weekly earnings of industrial workers in Michigan are thus seen to be $19 a week more than the present minimum fixed by the wage-hour law. And even if they do not increase in the next six years they will still be $14 a week more who has been upsetting Broadway for the past few seasons, Is today MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS POSTAGE PAID IN UNITED STATES, CANADA AND MEXICO-PAYABLE IN ADVANCE To the Editor: I was certainly our modern Kat Bov with a radio to plnv with.

year-old infant terrible made the Love and Heartache By Edgar A. Guest Love would have daily tasks to do And bits of grief to bear. The love that lasts a lifetime through Has often shouldered care. Love would encounter doubt and fear And hurt and loss and wrong, For love that never sheds a tear Will not endure for long. And did no other life require Our aid or kindly deed, Did no one falter, faint or tire, For love there be no need.

Love 'gainst its own delight will choose Another's hurt to share. It asks for joys that it may lose And griefs that it must bear.

In several states where the real bosses do not love him New York, Penn- Is He Boasting? on Czechoslovakia. The articles, written by representatives of Moscow newspapers in this country, caused chuckles at the State Department.

One atory mentioned the President's Chicago speech attacking "aggressor nations," although it was delivered a year ago and in a moment of impulse. Nevertheless, it was cited as evidence of our intention to proceed against the dictator countries. Another article predicted that signing of the Anglo-American trade pact would be announced in time to destroy the effect of Hitler's warlike speech at the famous Nuremberg congress. Still a third reported that the President's purge had succeeded completely, and New let me say a word for the slyvania, Maryland they have planted billboards bearing the sign: "Go forward witn Kooae-velt!" Then appears the Democratic ballot, but with none of the ous tension and threats of war are daily occurrences. But that sort of childish smart aleckism isn't at all humorous, and those responsible for the broadcasts will get what they deserve if they receive some sound spankings as rewards for their efforts.

I will guarantee that anyone who does as he knows he should do will not be molested. I have driven cars all the time I have lived here and I have yet to be bawled out by an officer.

E. Q. MOISE, dent, aeemlngly, is anonymous. It is the slickest coattall act since that the Senate would be under Andrew Jackson's day. Herbert Lehman's surrender his thumb so far as foreign affairs were concerned.

If Stalin and Litvinoff credited these erroneous reports they probably thought that Uncle Sam tells the story most vividly. Despite surface friendship, the two men distrust each other, politically, and probably always will. Within the week before he congratulated the New York Democratic and Sohemus, governor of Gallilee in the years preceding the birth of Christ, are the lieutenants charged with the task of killing her. Each in turn pays with his life for disregard of these orders. Then it is that Herod, miraculously returning for a second time, has Mariamne brought before a court ordered to find her guilty.

Herod himself is the accuser. He is aided and abetted in this fiendish move by his faithful mate, who finally deems his continued perfidy unendurable, and by her silence permits the worst to be believed. At the conclusion of the trial, having unburdened herself to Titus and convinced him of her innocence, Mariamne walks majestically to her offstage death. Nothing much mattera after that moving scene. The raging of Herod when he learns of the false accusations, his efforts to pull himself together, his determination to purge Bethlehem of the new-born King, well as it is all handled, come as something of an anticlimax.

If "Herod and Mariamne" is a bit slow in getting under way it makes amends with the steadily mounting interest that marks would save Czechoslovakia at the last, minute. Never was a people or a government so deluded by its newspapers. Mercury Theater, they do not know whether they are being kidded or not. Such things as putting on Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" with Caesar wearing a Fascist uniform in a poor Imitation of Mussolini and Brutus wearing a blue serge business suit! If the boy wonder could do such tricks with a man like Shakespeare, what could he not do over the air with a chap like H. G.

Wells? Orson was born in Kenosha, which may, or may not account for his idiosyncracies. At 16 he went on a bicycle tour of Ireland, landed in Dublin, broke. He presented himself at the Gate Theater, and told the management that he was one of the stars of the New York Theater Guild on vacation. This slight "exaggeration" was based on the fact that once, at Christmas time, he had played the role of "Peter Rabbit" in a New York department store. They gave him lead roles to play as a guest atar and later The Abbey Players grabbed him.

From these triumphs he moved to London but the English are not as sentimental as the Irish. The Home Secretary rounded up the Fat Boy and sent him home to America. But here he was good enough to win a part with Katharine Cornell as Marchbanks, In "Candida," as Mercutlo in "Romeo and Juliet," and as one of the brothers in the "Barretts of Wlm-pole Street." Quite a lad! A strange phase of the fake news bulletins was the reaction of so many people. Thousands awore that they heard President Roose convention on its slate, the President expressed the opinion that the Governor waa a hopeless economic reactionary. It was expected that Mr.

Lehman would resent Mayor LaGuar- NEW YORK The next two weeks should tell the story of future Slno-Japanese relations, say New York experts on Far Eastern affairs. It should be clear within that period wheth dia's Hyde Park demand that he er Chinese resistance is completely broken or whether Chiang Kai PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT complains that Judge James, Republican gubernatorial nominee in Pennsylvania has been "misusing his name." The judge, it appears, has been saying that the President has "deliberately refrained from meddling in local politics" in the Keystone State because he is "unwilling to put his hands in that muddy water." Mr. Roosevelt says hotly that this isn't so. He insists he isn't keeping out because he is afraid of getting into mire. (Though heaven knows he couldn't rightly be blamed if he were).

He resents the statement that he is moved by such things. He has other reasons for his aloofness. Well if that's the way Mr. Roosevelt feels, that's the way he feels. But do we understand that he is trying to boast of the possession of a stomach which is stronger, and of a nose which is less sensitive than even those possessed by Mr.

Farley who, readers will remember, did go into Pennsylvania, but didn't stay long? Hitler and the Czechs FROM Prague comes a report that anti-Semitism of an aggressive sort is appearing in Czechoslovakia, and that many members of the Jewish race are trying to get passports to leave the country. The latest regarding the controversy between Czechoslovakia and Hungary about the transfer of coveted territories to the latter country by the Government in Prague indicates that Berlin is taking the role of defender of Czech rights, at least for the moment. On the surface of things there may seem to be no particular connection between these two items of news; yet perhaps there is one. Feeling that they are deserted by the big democracies to the west, and without any hope of aid by Russia, the Czechs appear to be trying to make the best of a bad situation and to be accepting Nazi domination and Nazi ideas. Perhaps they are not enthusiastic about doing so; but stories indicate that they are at least swallowing their medicine with an appearance of cheerfulness and loyalty.

And it is pretty certain that they could please Hitler in no way Shek can continue a guerrilla campaign. If the latter, the Japs are still not entirely out of the Knagg's Stand Held Proof Bloodshed Not Necessary To the Editor: Following Gov. Murphy's dramatization of himself as the great humanitarian who permitted communists and hoodlums to lead in the seizure of Michigan industrial plants "thin saving hundreds of lives" arid President Roosevelt's indorsement of Murphy's conduct, it might be appropriate to publish a pictur of Mayor Knaggs. With it there might be an account of how he and a few determined citizens stopped the same radical outfit at Monroe.

It is with proclaim himself a New Dealer. But the Governor technically complied. He senses that, for the moment, it isn't good politics to buck the White House. But in 1940 it may be a different story! New Demand by Labor Organized labor is girding for a demand on the Government which, if granted, will overshadow all its recent gains under Uncle Sam's auspices. It will insist that its system of wages, hours, closed shop ani working conditions follow the flag into every field.

We recently reported that the the return of Herod, to find Mariamne in the midst of revelry, Japanese militarists were shoot that real drama flares. There is a welcome quickening of pace ing for a quick and decisive triumph that would enable them to impose terms on China before from there on. We do not know wnetner tne attempt to do the village cutup act on a grand scale cost any lives, but it did cause a great deal of terror and suffering, and if the participants do not find themselves finally responsible for several deaths, they will be lucky. Still some good may come out of the incident. If thousands of grownup men and women could be thrown into panic by the broadcasting of Mr.

Wells' imaginative account of invasion and destruction, what must be the effect on millions of boys and girls in America of the broadcasts of tales of disaster and crime which greet their ears daily and nightly, and which are dished up to be their special mental fare? What is a steady diet of crude sensationalism which takes, them into the atmosphere of the underworld and feeds them on horrors doing to their minds and characters? What sort of a slant may we expect such and husks to give the next generation? And how long are we going to allow the air to be polluted by these things? Roused by the broadcast of Sunday night, Senator Herring, of Iowa, says he intends introducing a bill at the next session of Congress which will end the abuses, and he remarks sharply that some of the bedtime stories supposed to put children to sleep are an outrage and should be stopped. They must be stopped. Things are reaching such a pass that the radio simply must be cleansed of its evil sensationalism, and if there is no other way to perform the job, it must come through some sort of government action. But that ought not to be necessary. Once fully warned, broadcasting companies should be capable of acting for themselves without compulsion.

lj recently expressed the belief that the next Congress will have to vote on a war referendum proposal. A bill was introduced in the last Congress by Congressman Ludlow, an Indiana Democrat, that would have made it necessary to take a popular vote before Congress could declare war except in case of invasion of the United States. Although it received considerable support this bill was sidetracked. And it is to be hoped that the next Congress will have courage enough similarly to resist the pressure of well-intentioned groups who seem not to have thought the matter through. A war referendum provision in the tution would handicap the President and Secretary of State in conducting our foreign relations, without guaranteeing that the country would escape the horrors of war.

Wars can be started nowadays, as China knows, without the formality of an official notice. And in these fast-moving days stopping to take a vote on war or peace might be fatal to the effective protection of interests outside of the United States. We live under a representative government.
