HEALTH OF CHILD WORKERS
DIR. ROTCH DISCUSSES DUTY OF
THE PHYSICIAN.
Declares in Lecture That Physical
Development and Not Age
Should Be Test.

That physicians had for long time
failed to recognize the necessity of
specializing in childrens diseases, but that
they had at last come to a realization of
the fact, was declared by Mr.. Thomas
Morgan Rotch of Harvard University in Il
lecture given in the assembly room of the
George Washington University last night.
DR.. Rotchs topic was 1.-The Use of the
Roentgen Ray in Revision Of the Laws
Relating to Child Labor
The keynote of his plea was that a
child's age was no indication of it's phys
ical development One child might be
much more able to stand work than an
other child several years its senior. BY
means of stereopticon views of Roentgen
ray photographs DR.. Rotch demonstrated
the theory he was eZpounding, and con-
tended vigorously that physical develop
ment and not age should be the test in the
framing of child labor laws.
1t has been discovered by physicians.
DR. Rotch said, adding that he spoke en-
tirely from the standpoint of a medical
man, that in order to treat children prop
erly ii was necessary to study them by
themselves, entirely apart from adults.
There were today, he said, large number
of physicians who dealt with child diseases
entirely Their application of remedies
to children was based on their effect upon
youthful constitutions and not upon adult
constitutions. Medicines that were eff
fective upon adults were not necessarily
effective upon children. One of the prin-
ciple results of this specializing. the
speaker said, was the establishment OF
the fact that the physical condition and
development of the child was the test
of it's ability to do work of any kind,
mental or physical.
Dr. Rotch took a shot at the rich capi-
talists of the north. who. he said. declined
to employ children in their factories in
northern states. but started factories in
southern states, where child labor was
allowed. and made money from the very
lifeblood of the children of the south.

at Drawing Monday

AS result of extensive advertising a

in front of the Hsddock Land office on
Monday afternoon to witness and take
part in the drawing under Carey Act
rules of the Mountain View Addition to

AS the appointed time drew near,
Paul Haddock stepped upon a platform
in full view of the crowd and made a
statement regarding the drawing that
drifted naturally into an eloquent pre-
sentation of the claims of shoshone for
pre-eminence in Lincoln county, and to
show their appreciation of the senti-
ments and facts set forth by MIR. Had
dock the crowd cheered generously
time and again. Over 200 registrations
had been made in time for the drawing.
Jas. k. Boutwell, was selected to open
the envelopes and announce the names,
as fast as they were drawn from the
barrel by Miss Pearl Todd and handed
to him.
The crowd cheered as Mr.. Bothwel
opened the first envelope and read the
name of w. II. Baugh, and other names
were cheered as they were announced.
The drawing went on rapidly till all
the names were out, but of course the
selections took more time.

SHOsHONE PLAYING GOOD BALL
Returns the Gooding Citric Acid
Saturday, II to 5

The Shoshone base ball boys are now
enjoying the fame of four consecutive
games to their credit, two of which
were announced in last weeks Journal
The third game of this series was
played on the home grounds last Satur-
day afternoon with the redoubtable
Gooding team as their adversaries, and
the Gooding boys went down to defeat
with score of IL to against them.
AS Nike Morton had been overworked
in the two preceding games with Wen
dell ahd Mountain Home, owing to the
illness of the new pitcher, it was
thought advisable to put the new man
in the box although he was far from
strong. But notwithstanding his unfit
condit on the Goodipg sluggers were
held down to scores at the end of the
eighth inning when Morton went to the
box and showed his form by shutting
the visitors out for the final inning
1t was no doubt something of surprise
to the Gooding crowd to be handed a
lemon of such pungency, but then it
couldn't really be helped for the county
seat lads owed them one and were
abundantly able to deliver the goods.
The Bloomer Girls of Chicago were the
next aggregation to cross bats with
the Shoshone team, the event coming
off Sunday afternoon assisted by three
or four men for battery, and shortstop
the girls put up fine game and held
the home boys down to 4 scores, just
double their own. Manager Purdum
is arranging for future games and he
is not looking for weak opponents either
but is willing to match any team in
southern Idaho. Since the reorganiza-
tion of the team the four games stand
as follows each score being in favor of
Shoshone: Wendell team, p to 2
Mountain Home team, "a to l. Gooding
team IL to 5. Chicago Bloomer Girls,
4 to 2. This certainly makes very
creditable showing for starter.
