Knights of Columbus at Claflin.


Sunday, the 2Sth, was a great
day for those members of the
Knights of Columbus in and
around EllinwOOd, who had been
members for some time, because
it saw the results of their labors
for the past few months crystal
lied into the organization of a
new council Of the order at Claf-
lin. Some thirty candidates were
initiated. Solemn high mass was
celebrated at the church in the
morning. In the afternoon the
degree work was put on by teams
from Salina for the first and Sec
ond, and by State Deputy Me-

staff for the third. In the even
ing the tired candidates, the de-
gree teams, the members of the
order and their ladies, and the
business men of Claflin and their
wives, regardless of religious faith
were entertained at a banquet by
the ladies of the parish. There
were about three hundred who
sat down to the banquet tables.
Excellent music was furnished by
Kramer's orchestra. Father Nah
er, of the Dubuque parish, acted
as tOastmaSter. Responses were
made by many of the visiting
members, and the affair was a
delightful one from start to fin
iSh. The ladies of the parish GER
tainly deserve great cOmmenda-
ton for the excellent banquet pre-
pared. There was plenty of a va
riety, and plenty Of each kind.
Any one who could not get the

Professor Gaines, in First Of
Faculty Lectures, Tells
How It Is Increasing.

The first OF the series of five faculty
lectures for the session was given at
Richmond College last night by Pro-
lessor r. z. Gaines on Graphical
Methods"
In the Introductory part OF the lee
ture. attention was called 10 the fact
that while geometry in the hands of
the Greeks was developed to high
degree of perfection more than 1000
years ago. II was centuries after that
before the analytical side of mathe-
mates made much more than a be-
ginning. This was, due partly to the
fact that geometry is the more obvious
of the two and partly because in the
days of the Greeks the world possessed
only the most awkward and unwieldly
systems of notation. 1t has happened
several times that mathematician in
trying to solve specific problem has
been led to the discovery of new
branch of mathematics. AS an illus
tration of this the lecturer cited

Pascal to know how in an interrupted

THREE LAWS PASS
TO PROTECT LABOR
General Assembly Enacted Sew
eral Bills for This
Purpose.

Referring to the charge that no leg
Lsiation for the protection of labor be-
ca me law at the recent session of the
Legislature, 1t is recalled that three
new laws are now on the statute books
to this end. Labor Commissioner Do
herty is much pleased at their passage
One OF these, of which Edwin P. Cox,
OF Richmond, was the patron, pro-
vides for proper sanitary arrangements
in all factories in which live or more
persons are employed. and in all work
shops, factories or mercantile estab-
lisments in which there are two or
more children under the age OF eight
cen, or any women. Reports in the
office of the Labor Commissioner show
conditions in some establishments
which were regarded by the Depart
ment as horrible.
Another new law, introduced by
Senator Wickham, of Henrico. requires
seats to be provided for female en-
ployes in the place where the bulk of
amendment of former law, which
required seats to be furnished Some
employers took the ground that the
law was complied with II there were

used by the clerks at times. Under
the Wickham law, when women are
employed for the most part in front
of counters, seats must be given them
there, and il behind the counters, in
that place the seats must be placed.
Strict Regulation.
The third law, OF which Mr.. Casey,
of Richmond, was the patron, is espe.
ctally commended by Mr.. Doherty. 1t
is for the regulation of employment
agencies. When such concern receives
money or other valuable considera ton
to furnish employment. and fails to
secure a position for the applicant, It
must return the money on demand.
excepting an amount. not to exceed
81, to be charged as fling fee.
When a contract Is made for secur-
Ing employment, copy must be deliv-
cred to the applicant. and the fee must
be specified therein. The employer is
forbidden to receive any part of the
fee agreed to be paid the employment
agency. The Commissioner of Labor is
to have authority to examine the books
of any employment agency, and is re-
CURED to investigate complaints which
may he made against such concern.
Penalties are provided for failure to
comply with the provisions Of the act
or refusal to give the commissioner
access 10 books and papers.
