CITY RIGHTS TO BE THRESHED OUT Supreme Court Allows Test Case From Easton; Har risburg Jitney Cases Under a per curiam order by the Supreme Court, an appeal ,has been allowed to that tribunal from the decision of the Superior Court in tho test case of the City of Easton vs. A. R. Miller, a trolley motorman, BELt. 1091—2350 UNITED Advantages oj Business Hours In a speech before the Chamber of Commerce recent ly, Mr. Veliers, the housing expert, emphasized the fact that even the highest-priced mechanics in war times could seldom be induced to work over eight hours, even though exceptional inducements were offered. Mr. Vel liers said it simply proved that there are other things in life greater than mere money. Ihe men are not con tented to work for money all the time. So with salespeople. There ctfn be no sound reason why they should be expected to work from 8.30 or 9.00 A. M. to" 9.00 or 10.00 P. M. on Saturdays. This makes practically a thirteen or fourteen-hour day in which they are obliged to be away from home. Closing our store Saturdays at six conserves the en ergies of our employes and gives them more time for the recreation we all crave. Many of our valued customers have voluntarily as sured us of their co-operation by expressing intentions of doing their shopping during the daytime. We hope greater efficiency in service will repay them. PARISIAN fffljjh Hair Wavers The very newest waver for producing all the latest styles in dressing the hair. Light, comfortable and durable.
