WOMAN ABOVE
ORDINARY LAW
Supreme Court SuStainS
Labor Statute.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 81
(SpeciaD Labor had an inning yes
terday in the United States Supreme
Courts decision that the Oregon law
limiting to ten the hours of labor for
women in laundries in that State was
valid
It's legality was attacked by Curt
Miller, proprietor of laundry in
Portland, who claimed among others,
that it was class legislation, and that
it limited his right to contract. In
holding the law to be a legitimate
exercise of the police power, the
court pointed out the difference be-
tween it and the New York bakery
law, which was held to be an arbi-
trary interference with the right of
contract as far as the male sex is
concerned
That woman's physical structure
and functions place her at
disadvantage in the struggle
for subsistence is obvious"
says Justice Brewer, in deliv-
ering the courts opinion. "By album
dant testimony of the medical fra
ternity, continuance for long time
on her feet at work, repeating this
function from day to day, tends to
injurious effects upon the body, and
as health is essential to preserve the
strength and evigor of the race, the
physical well-being of women be-
comes an object Of public interest and
care"

AMERICUS is SHIPPING
PEAS TO FLORIDA

Americas merchants are shipping
common field peas to Florida and 9TH
er states and getting 1925 to $3.50
per bushel for them. One firm here
made a large shipment yesterday to
Quincy, Fla, where they are wanted
for planting purposes. This lot of
peas netted the Americas shipper
$235 per bushel. Even at this fancy
price enough peas to supply the de-
mand are not made here, where they
grow spontaneously and without Gull
tivation, it being necessary only to
plant the seed and later, pick the
crop. One variety of pea sold by
Americas merchants for table use is
worth 1925 per bushel, retail, and will
grow here as readily as any other.
But no one thinks to plant such a
CrOD.

CORN SYRUP
CAN BE PURE"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 81
Especially An important question in
the administration of the pure food
law was settled yesterday in decis-
ion made public by Secretaries Will
son, Cortelyou and Straus. 1t bears
upon the controversy regarding
the labelling of syrup. The decision
follows:
1--WE have each given careful con-
sideration to the labelling, under the
pure food law, of the thick viscous
syrup, obtained by the incomplete n.y.
drolysis of the starch of corn and
composed essentially of dextrose, NAL
tose, and dextrine.
I'm our opinion, it is lawful to lab
ell this syrup as corn syrup, and II
to the corn syrup there is added a
small percentage of refined syrup, a
product of the cane, the mixture, IN
our judgement, is not misbranded Il
labeled corn syrup with cane flavor.

Learning Is His Profession

Learning has become profession
with Student Kemp now. Just how
old he is his fellow-students profess
not to know. Some say that he has
finished with the forties, and is trudg-
ing along toward sixty in his khaki
with his books under
his arm and his chrysanthemum in
his jacket lapel.
With the "Ph. D." the endowed
student will have used up the last
of the scholarly degrees offered by
Columbia, but may go back for a
postgraduate course and get a
Bachelor of Science degree in two
classes Moreover, when these re-
sources in the battle against the tread
of time have been used up Kemp
may cast about and select degrees in
the more practical and material lines
of mental accomplishment There
will be mining, electrical engineering,
civil engineering, architecture, phar-
maceutical chemistry, mechanical en-
gineering, and that will be the end.
He will either leave college without
an income or be removed at the head
of a procession of carriages.

GETS ANNUITY AS

Kemp Has Been There II
Years.

NEW YORK, Feb 27.-(SpeciaD-
William Cullen Bryant Kemp, L. L. B.,
L. L. NJ, A. B., A. NJ, has started in
with his accustomed jauntiness of
spirit to take the degree of Phi. D.,
at his old stamping ground, Columbia
University. In taking this degree
more time than for any other degree
is allowed by the university. He
may have five years in which to
grasp political economy and the kind
red subjects that equip one for rank
as a Doctor of Philosophy He has
been a student for q years already
The mystery of Kemp's student de-
cades is no longer a mystery. There
is hardly a boy who has been at the
university for two years who has not
heard it told and told it in turn.
1t is to the effect that Kemp, when
youth, displayed an antipathy to
the regular course of study, and that
he would not be ready on any exam
ination day or gather enough of book
learning to make even a fair show

THE MURDER OF DOVES
is STILL A PASTIME
Six Thousand Birds Killed
at Shooting.

Six thousand doves were killed
Wednesday in the greatest bird
slaughter of the season, the "shoot"
taking place on the Cook plantation
in Lee county, below Americas. A
field several hundred acres in extent
had been baited daily for period
of several weeks and sportsmen at
tended from Americas, Leesburg and
several other points. There were be-
tween 125 and $50 gunners in the
field when the birds began flying, just
after dawn, and it is probable that
more than 5000 doves were killed.
On the same day nearly 1000 doves
were killed in a baited field out near
Lumpkin Several Americas gunners
were in this later shOOtfest.

Income While in School

To remedy this, Kemp, the boy,
was provided for in the will of a
wealthy relative who was wise in
his day and generation and given to
the understanding of human nature.
This relative provided an income for
Kemp of $4,000 a year, the same to
be paid him ~as long as he remained
at Columbia, and to cease when he
left the university.
Kemp was in no danger of brain
fever from oyerwork at the time this
arrangement was first made, but it
is said that he managed thereafter to
remain on the college register as a
student and draw the first years mon
ey coming to him.
He could have been graduated many,
many years ago, of course, but, the
students say, the realization of the
practical uses of which $4,000 year
could be put brought him to a sense
of veneration for the pursuit of
knowledge, and he began to nurse
the curriculum for all it was worth.
