to Forbid Employment Of Boys

The child labor bill which has nassed
the House was severely criticised DIV
persons who have -nade the subject OF
child labor lie study before a large
audience OF uIe best known women in
congressional circles, at a meeting AT
the home Of Ms. James Pinchot. The
principal speakers wee DR.. Samuel Nc
Cune Lindsay. secretary of the national
child labor ccmmittee. and Miss Mary

Mr.. Lindsay spoke Of inconsistencies
In the child labor bill as it passed the
House. with particular reference 20 the
employment OF boys as messengers and
helpers in stores. He said. IN part:
The messenger service presents the
most serious dangers 10 boys under
fourteen who work by day and boys
under sixteen who work az night. The
moral danger here is rs great as fhe
physical danger 20 health. The boys in
stores and in the messenger service con

THE PERSONAL SIDE
AT THE CAPITOL

Washington has never had such
throngs of tourists, and the Capitol
guides are making fortunes Every
tourist who gets to the Capitol insists
Immediately on having Representative
Longworth pointed out TO him The Wis
itors take no interest in Aldrieh, Spoon
er. Williams, or Cannon, evidently re-
garding those statesmen as ''pikers"
They cut the guide short as he is point
ing Grosvenor out and ask impatiently:
"But where is Alice Roosevelt's hrs-
band2"
When Longworth is not there-and he
usually isn't-the tourists are indignant
and look with suspicion on the guides.
The latter have accordingly formed the
useful habit of pointing out Ollie James,
Weems. Sibley, and all other bald-head-
ed men as Longworth. The tourists
look with admiration at these bunko
bridegrooms and depart in peace.
