TONER M. OVERLEY, manager of the Better Business Bureau, played us a dirty trick the other day. Noting the. “headache” we developed over a puzzle published recently in this column, T. M. sent us a neat booklet entitled, “Two Hundred Tanta- . : lizers.” It's a collection of 246 puzzles, or brain teasers, he compiled a few years ago when collecting such puzzles was his major hobby. He had them mimeographed and bound in booklet form and distributed them to friends. Ever since he gave us a copy, our poor brain has been in a whirl trying to figure out the answers without ‘looking in the back of the book. T. M.'s present hobby is magic. He got started ie at it about a year go, and has gotten so expert that his services are in frequent demand for performances at army camps, etc. His outstanding stunt is a mind reading act that's a dandy. Mr, Overley's enthusiasm for his hobby is infectious, He has interested several others in magic. One tt of these is George A. Saas, advertising manager for “ the gas company. If you know George, ask him to show you a trick or two.

A Flattering Error

BILL AITCHISON, the state OPA rationing officer, underwent an appendectomy Thursday morning f at St. Vincent's hospital. Bright and early yesterday, ! Jim Strickland, the OPA state director, appedred at i the hospital with a bouquet. The nurse wouldn't let i him take the flowers into Bill's room, explaining that he was asleep. And then she asked: “Are you his son?" Bill grinned broadly at the unintentional flat. tery. Before he left, he exacted a promise from the nurse that she would tell the patient of her mistake. «+ « Reminds us of our experience the other day in a downtown store where we stopped to pick up a new pair of shoes that had just been received by mail at the store. The clerk we wanted to see was out to lunch and the girl at the wrapping desk found the package. Looking at the size of it, she commented dubiously: “But it looks like there must be two pairs

In Her Element

PHILADELPHIA, May 6.-—The delegates of 40 countries at the conference here of the International

Labor Organization don't agree with results of a recent poll among Washington newspaper correspondents which named Secretary of Labor Francie Perkins, as the “least useful” among U. S. government officials. On the contrary, the general opinion among the ILO delegates seems to be that Miss Perkins is “highly useful.” The explanation for these differing appraisals may be this: The Washington newspapermen'’s verdict apparently was based on a feeling that in dealing with labor disturbances and belligerent union : leaders Miss Perkins is handi- : capped, partly because of her peace-loving disposition, and partly because she has been given no real authority by congress or by President Roosevelt, who has insisted on keeping all the fmpotrant strings of the labor situation in his own

MRS. JOHN BARTON, 1533 Shannon ave. asked the help of this column in locating another Mrs. John

Barton. The other Mrs. Barton has a son,

P. Barton, who is in the armed forces. The postoffice received a letter from Pfc. Barton addressed to his mother at “210 Lowell ave.” There's no such address, and the postoffice sent the letter to the Shannon ave. Bartons. Mrs. Barton opened the letter before she knew it wasn't for her, and noticed that the soldier has a sister named Mary, and he wrote to “say hello to Pepper.” If that gives any of you a clue as to the mother’s identity, tell her to phone Mrs. Barton at IR-0512 or MA-0975, and she'll mail on the letter. . . .

Miss Perkins brought here an ambitious program that sounds like part of the New Deal, She is

working deftly, with considerable chance

to get an agreement on most of it from the representatives of the other countries. She is generally credited with diplomatic ability of the kind necessary to win gver these conflicting blocs—an ability different from the kind required in dealing with

“The function of the International Labor Organ-

sentatives of nations, as well as of labor tives.”

Labor Code Adopted

DIRECT RESULTS of the ILO in

century of life include the adoption of 67 “conventions” or agreements, which are regarded as in fact

an international labor code.

The ILO is supported by contributions from the member countries totaling about $900,000 a year. and the United Kingdom are the two largest contributors, each for about

- questioned by detectives, Lopez, Mora's common-law wife, said her sister, Anparo, was in Kansas City. Police immediately asked Kansas City police to institute a search for her.

Trunk Shipped Sunday

The trunk was shipped from the Dearborn station here last Sunday by a man who gave his name as John Lopez. A The body was found at Los}? Angeles yesterday when employees ‘of the Railway Express agenty noticed a bloody brine seeping from the trunk. Police opened the trunk and found the woman's body, clad only in underclothing and bobby socks, beneath a sheet. The trunk also contained clothing to -fit a boy about six years of age, and a towel bearing the name of the Fleetwood hotel. A check of the Fleetwood hotel register revealed that Miss Lopez had been registered there with Mr. and Mrs. Mora. That led police to seize Mora.

Youth With Lopes

Charles R. Heniff, the night express clerk at the station, said Lopez and a dark-haired youth about 14 years old brought the theatricaltype trunk to the station in an automobile and worked on it for an hour after a hasp broke, Reniff sald Lopez was about 40 years old, five feet, five inches tall, and weighed about 165 pounds. The description of Mora, who weighs 150 pounds, did not agree with Heniff's description of Lopez, but Police Lt. Philip Breitzke said Mora would be held for questioning. After viewing Mora at police headquarters, Heniff said he was certain Mora was not the man who delivered the trunk to the station. Visited by Woman

Mrs. Mora also was known as Mrs. Lopez and her sister, believed to have been an entertainer, gave her name as Miss Lopez when she stayed at the hotel: Hotel employees recalled that Miss Lopes and Mrs. Mora were visited by a woman believed to have been their mother, who was accompanied by two children between 5 and 8 years old, corresponding to éhe age of the child whose pictures were found in the trunk. Residents of the hotel said Mora had been employed in the commissary department of a downtown hotel, but a preliminary check proved unproductive. The Moras! and Miss Lopez left no forwarding address when they checked out of the hotel. Trunk Repaired The express clerk said the hasp on the trunk, which weighed 245 pounds with its contents, broke when they had it on the shipping platform. He gave Lopez hammer, nails and wire to use for repairs and said the boy watched for an hour while Lopes nailed and wired it shut. The trunk was addressed to Lopez in care of Rallway Express, Los Angeles. Lcpex was unable to pay the express charges, Heniff said, but told him he would take a bus t0 Los Angeles and pay the shipping fee there. The value of the “personal belongings” in the trunk was set at $50.

Injunction Continued Until

Court Rules on U. S. Motion. J CHICAGO, May 6 (U. P) ~Federal District Judge Willlam H. Hol» ly today extended beyond the Sunday night expiration date a preliminary injunction restraining officials of Montgomery Ward &

-1Co. from interfering with the gov-

ernment’s operation of the firm's Chicago properties. Judge Holly also announced that he had decided definitely to rule Wednesday on the government's motion for a temporary injunction which would continue to prevent the company officers from attempting to operate the plant while it is in the hands of the department of commerce.

Injunction Extended

The preliminary injunction was extended until the judge rules on the motion for a temporary injunction. If the present order had been allowed to expire on schedule there would have been no existing court decree to prevent the come pany from seeking to regain cone i trol of the plant between Sunday = night and the time the judge rules Ey Wednesday. * Judge Holly’s decision to extend the ‘original 10-day preliminary injunction against the company was made over the protests of Montgomery Ward officials who said it would be impossible for.the national labor relations board to conduct. a valid collective bargaining ‘election with the plant under government control. George B. Christensen, attorney for Montgomery Ward, said there was “a very pointed question” of whether the bargaining election scheduled for Tuesday could be valid when the firm's employees were working for the government in the seized plant.

Judge Gives Views

Judge Holly said it was not up te him to decide when the bargaing election should be held. “That is a matter for the national labor relations Board,” he said.

The company’s ‘contention, as outlined by thé firm's lawyers before they went into closed session with Judge Holly, was. that when the government seized Montgomery Ward's = Chicago properties last week the Ward workers became federal employees. The law does not permit government employees to participate in collective bargaine ing elections, a company spokes man said.

The resolution was taken from the bishop's Episcopal address which was read at the opening of the conference. . “Christianity cannot be nationalistic,” it said. “It must be universal in its outlook and appeal. War makes its appeal to force and hate, Christianity to reason and love. “The time is at hand when the church must rise in its might and demand an international organization which will make another war impossible.”
