LITTLE CASH FOR BADGES.
That's Why Child Labor Chest
Signs Look Cheap.

In reply to criticisms of the badges be-
ing issued to newsboys. bootblacks and
street vendors under sixteen years. of age,
school officials say that Congress failed TO
provide any money for the enforcement
of the child labor law and that every
dollar spent is taken from funds needed
for school supplies. More substantial
badges were not purchased, il is explain
ed, because of the lack of funds.
The neglect of those who advocated
the new child labor law to have Con-
gress provide funds for carrying out its
provisions has made the law an i'm
position on the school authorities. de-
clared Capt. James F. Oyster today.
They put a lot of extra work on the
school officials and compel us to pay out
money without making any provisions for
extra help or extra money. AS result,
the clerks of the board of education have
worked many hours overtime every day
and the schools will not have all the
money they need to buy proper supplies.
But we have accepted the extra duties
graciously. and the school work is now in
good shape"
The badges have five parasitic back

Constantine p. Rollo, who gave his ad-
dress as 212 9th street and his occupation
as lunch man. today before Acting
Judge Aukam upon the charge of expos
ing food for sale on a tray not properly
protected from flies, dust and insects. was
adjudged guilty and fined S.
Inspector Bales of the health depart
ment testified that rlollo was selling on
the street food of all sorts which had
no protection from dust or bugs. He
warned the man to either equip himself
properly by improvising a screen of some
sort or using light netting, which he has
apparently failed to do.
Rollo will probably be prevented from
carrying on his business as he knows no
way he can adequately protect his wares.
AT the time of Bales inspection. it was
said. the food was not found in best con-
dition.

RULES TO GOVERN GAMES

TESTS TO BE MORE STRICT.
Some Children Over Age and Some

Competed in Past.

Rules to govern playground contests and
cards for registration Of the children were
given out today at the headquarters of the
Fairgrounds committee. This new sys-
tenn has been inaugurated for the purpose
of securing vigorous and honest athletics
from the youngsters. 1t has been made
necessary by the occasional entrance of
a boy under a wrong name and by fire.
quent entrances of boys into events from
which they were barred by the age limit
The cards will be used during the pre-
liminary events and will be the admission
slips OF the boys to the final tourna ment
According to DIR. Curtis any boy who is
found to have entered under a name other
than his own will be debsrred from any
further contest under the Playground As
ISOLATION.
Parents Have Interfered.
The greatest difficulty encountered by
the directors of the Fairgrounds In the
recent tournaments has been from the
parents Of the children and other grown
people who have made contests at the
conclusion OF the events or interfered with
races To put a stop to this conduct the
supervisor has formulated a rule that all
protests relative to events upon the
grounds must be made at the headquar-
tiers the following morning and buttons
will not be distributed until a decision has
been given by those In charge.
1t has been decided also that teachers
must absolutely refrain from controversy
over events at the time OF the meet. as 1t
sets a bad example to the children.
Here Are the Rules.
The rules as formulated are as follows:
THE teacher in each of the home
grounds will be responsible for the dis
cipline and for seeing that spectators do
not crowd in upon contestants. She will
secure as many marshals from parents
Of the children or personal acquaintance
