The constitutionality of the law securing to employees in factories and mercantile establishments twenty-four consecutive hours of rest every week, as applied in New York State, was upheld by a unanimous decision of the court of appeals in that State.

The dance was arranged by young college men, mining engineers, and employees in Death Valley. They invited girls from Goldfield, Ludlow, and Los Angeles, providing each with railroad fare. An orchestra went from Los Angeles. It was a gala affair. Robert M. Pease, who arranged it, is being deluged with letters from women who want to move to Death Valley. Pease writes: “Behold, I am being deluged with a hopeless mass of communications from all ‘Adamless Eves’ in Christendom. I am receiving pounds of pressed roses and violets; I am receiving offers to mend my socks, to sew my buttons, to cook for me; requests for programs, requests for photographs, and, yea, even requests for transportation.” Facts You May Not Know.
