There are very few cigaret butts on the loose with lipstick smears on them. And if a lipstick covered one is found out in the open it is much lofiger than the average. Not so ‘indoors. Lipsticked relics garnered from ashtraps were smoked as a rule to the hilt and then battered almost flat. Men on the other hand get the ends of their cigarets wetter, There were several cigarets with a full half inch soaked, making the end a dirty brown color. Seldom do yoh see a woman flip a wet and chewed up stub away, I wonder what Emily Post has to say on the subject of wetting the end of a cigaret.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. -— Portal-to-portal pay suits are smalitime stuff. I intend to file at once a dusk-to-dawn suit, Then I'm going to sock the boss with an ear-to-ear suit. If he has any money left Ill sue him next for: tooth-to-gullet pay. Boy! My lawyer, Raymond 8. Smethurst, who also
| represents the National Association of Manufactur- | ‘ers, says I can't lose. Not the way the law is drawn
now, I can’t. The point, as he explained to the U. 8. senate, is that a fellow has to get some sleep if he’s to do his work. Well then shouldn't he be paid for this sleeping? Certainly. Lawyer Smethurst pointed out, in
fact, that the federal district court for northern
Hlinois held on last May 10 that a fireman asleep and off duty had to be paid for every snore because he might have been. awakened and called fo work. That's my precedent, Last night I slept conscientiously for nine hours; with time out for getting one drink of water. Either I get paid for all this pillow pounding, or tonight I don’t go to bed at all stay up and howl, I'll drink champagne from lian Russell's slipper and otherwise arrange to be a bleary-eyed wretch when I show up for work in the morning. Why should a fellow sleep unless he’s paid for it?
Ear-to-Ear Pay MY EAR-TO-EAR suit involves all the unhappy hours I havé spent shaving. There is no reason, according to my attorney, why I shouldn't sue for time consumed, effort made, and blood spilled. The idea here is obvious. Razor'd never touch my chin, unless the boss expected me to look neat and clean. If he wants me pretty, then he pays for it. Fifteen minutes a day, six days a week, for 20 years, I've been scraping off my whiskers.

So I decided to sur‘prise Ty. : “I called up my manager and he got me on a plane at 5:30 Friday afternoon. I tried to get back to work Thursday morning, but a storm held up the plane. 1 was back at the studio Friday. I missed one day's work.” = Lana's return was one they'll remember at M-G-M. She walked onto the set wearing a big sombrero. Director Victor Saville and the rest of the crew were wearing sombreros, too, plunking guitars and singing “South of the Border.” A happy, gay family greeting, according to Lana. Did she have fun with Power on New Year's eve? “It was wonderful,” she sighed.

Here's a safety feature for sniping in crowds. Not only is this fun but it usually pays off with a “gooder” if one is quick on the draw.

F. of L. president, and John Mitchell, U. M. W. president, did not get off with a fine for their contempt, as Lewis will even if he loses in the supreme court. They and an associate were given six, nine and 12 months, respectively, in jail. But they beat the rap on appeal. The A.

The District of Columbia supreme court issued an injunction against the blacklisting, effective five days after issuance, < : Gompers rushed out an edition of the American Federationist, A.

When' the case came up again, the supreme court found that the statute of limitations had run. But the court's opinion left little doubt that the justices believed Gompers had committed contempt. Said Justice Lamarr: “If a party can make himself a judge of the validity of orders which have been issued, and by his own act of disobedience set them aside, then are the courts impotent, and what the constitution now fittingly calls the ‘judicial power of the United States’ would be a mere mockery.”

Georgia Affair Recalls Old Decision
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 (U. P.. —The war department dug up an incident in which President U. 8S. Grant settled a gubernatorial dispute in some respects similar to Georgia's. The « old dispute, however, had reached a point of bloodshed. President Grant acted under the constitution to prevent civil war in Arkansas after shots had been fired and some persons killed. Then, as now, two men claimed to be governor and one of them had seized the state house.
