i in logging and all occupations in
' any sawmill, lath mi 1. shingle
| mill, or cooperage-stockmill, with
c rtain exceptions. Logging of
pulpwood is covered when done
in connection with logging of
timber for other uses but not
where pulpwood only is logged.
Excepted from the order are:
ork in offices and repair and
maintenance shops; work in the
operations and maintenance of
living quarters; work in timber
cruising, surveying and logging
engineering parties; work in for
est protection, and work in the
feeding or care of animals used
in logging.
Order No. 5, Mr. Haas said, has
! the effect of establishing 18
• years as the minimum age for
i employment in occupations in
I volved in the operation of power
driven woodworking machines,
as these occupations have been
declared particularly hazardous
for young workers. The following
types of employment in connec
tion with woodworking machin
es are covered by the order; op
erating power-driven woodwork
ing machines; feeding material
into such machines, helping an
operator to feed material into
them; having direct control or
supervision over such machines;
and setting up, adjusting, prepar
ing, oiling and cleaning them.
The occupations of off-bearing
from circular saws or guillotine
action veneer clippers where
such off-bearing is done directly
from the saw table or from the
point of operation are also cover
ed by the order.
“I wish especially to call to the
attention of employers that a vio
lation of these orders is a vio
lation of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act which applies to pro
ducers, manufacturers or dealers
who ship goods in interstate com
merce or deliver such goods for
shipment, and heavy penalties
are prescribed for such viola
tions,” Mr. Haas said. “Alaska
employers can protect themselves
from unintentional violations of
the child-labor provision of the
Federal Act by keeping on file
birth certificates for all minors
claiming to be 18 or 19 years old
employed in occupations declar
ed hazardous, as wel as certificat
es for all 16 and 17 year old
minor in occupations not declar
ed hazardous. In Alaska Regula
tion No. 1-J of the Children’s
Bureau applies. This means that
an employer may be protected
from an unintentional violation
if he has on file a birth certific
ate or a baptismal certificate for
each minor under 19.

FOR HAMBURGERS
CHICAGO — Because Chester

i and pork chops.”
MERRY-GO-ROrND
THE WASHINGTON
By Brew Pearson and
Robert S. Allen
WASHINGTON— If Mayor La
Guard's runs short of ideas on
how to keop the Office of Civ
ilian Defense going at top speed,
lie can get some pointers from
his chief in the White House.
Keenly interested in enabling
every man, woman and child to
“play a part,” no matter how
'small, in the defense program,
.Rcrosevelt feels that the big flaw
so far has been that the average
person has not been made to
“feel” that he can contribute
something.
Discussing this with Defense,
advisers the other day, the Presi
dent remarked that one of the |
best ways to stimulate civilian;
participation in preparedness
was the organization of move-;
ments such as “Bundles for Brit
ain.”
“Bundles for Britain was an ex
cellent idea,” he said, “because j
it made people realize that in1
helping the British they were,
a so making a contribution to
our own defense. But it is only;
a start. Other movements of a
similar nature should be encou
raged. Why not Binoculars for
Britain, also?”
To illustrate his point, the
President related how in the
World War, when he was Assist,
ant Secretary of Navy, it was an;
nounced that the Navy needed
| more binoculars than American;
factories were producing. In a
few weeks thousands of binoc
ulars poured in from patriotic
1 donators all over the country. ,
“Some weren’t suitable to our^
, needs, but a great many were,”,
said the President. “However, it]
wasn’t the material value of the;
; gifts that, counted to much asj
the spirit behind them. That’s j
j what impressed me more than |
I anything — the spontaneous de
I sire of citizens everywhere to;
! help when they thought they
: could be of service.”
New “Dolly Gann” War
It has been a long, long timej
j since Dolly Gann and Alice
Roosevelt staged their great so
cial war over who should come
into dinner first. But the seeds
planted by that war are sprout
ing even today.
Latest to raise the precedence
issue was Mrs. Stanley Hornbeck,
wife of the Political Adviser of
the State Department. She was
attending a dinner given by the
former French military attache.
Colonel Emmanuel Lombard, and
his attractive wife, who had seat
ed Mrs. Hornbeck at the left of
the host. At the host’s right and
in No. 1 place of honor s«t Mrs.
Wallace Murray, whose husband
is chief of the State Department’s
Near Eastern Division
To the average citizen of Kala
mazoo or Kankakee there is no
great difference between the of
ficial ranks of the State Depart
ment’s Adviser on Political Re
lations and its Chief of the Div
ision of Near Eastern Affairs.
Geographically, of course, there
is a big difference. Dr. Hornbeck
is a specialist on China and the
Far East, while Wallace Murray
is a specialist on Turkey, Egypt
and hte Near East.
Special Regulation Extending
Time of Requ Tcment of a Means
to Stop Engine Rotation in Flight
: _
Having had under considera
tion the application of section,
40.3320 of the Civil Air Regula
tions requiring an applicant for
an air carrier operating certi
ficate for the carriage of goods
and mail in interstate air trans
portation to show that any air
craft having engines with maxi
mum power ratings of 480 h.p. or!
more to be so equipped that the
engine rotation may be promptly
stopped during flight, and
It appearing that:
Certain air carriers are not
able to comply with this provi
ion due to an inability to ob
.ain certain parts of equipment
necessary to comp y with that
occtio.i because of the present na
tional emergency, and that its
action in this mattter is requir
ed in the public interest,
Now, Therefore, The Civil
Aeronautics Board, acting pur
suant to the authority vested in
it by the Civil Aeronautics Act of
1933, as amended, particularly
section 295, 691 and 604 of said
Act, makes and promulgates the
following regulation:
"Notwithstanding the provi
sions of section 40.3320, an ap
plicant for an air carrier operat-;
ing certificate for the carriage of
goods (including mail) in inter
state air transportation shall not
be required to show until on or;
.after August 1, .1941, that any air
cijal't to be used in such air j
transportation which have en-'
gines with maximum power rat-'
ings of 480 h.p. or more are so
equipped that engine rotation
may be promptly stopped during
flight.”

A lot of people don’t bother
about these technicalities, but to
the practiced social eye, Dr. Horn
beck, as Political Adviser, ranks
ahead of Mr. Murray as Division
Chief.
Mrs. Hornbeck is one of those
with a practiced social eye. And
no sooner did she see that she
was on the left of her host, with
Mrs. Murray on his right, than
she said in a voice which the
whole table could hear: “Every
one makes mistakes, my dear
even as thee and me.”
“What was that?” asked Mad
ame Lombard, worried by Mrs.
Hornbeck’s indignant eye, but
not comprehending the “terrible
faux pas.”
“I said everyone makes mistak
es, my dear, even as thee and
me. I just wanted to call your at
tention, Helen, to the fact that I
outrank Mrs. Murray ON EVERY
OCCASION.”
Dinner guests gasped, then has
tily covered the confusion. Short-1
ly after coffee was served, Mrs.
Hornbeck departed.
