At the Orpheum this week, during the child labor conference, the foyer of the big theatre has been converted into an 'sart gallery"
 The "living pictures as it were, of the various and sundry phases of child labor are strikingly shown in scores of situations which are taken from every avenue in which dependent children are, employed. There has been no more con- vincing proof of the absolute necessity of reformation of the child labor laws and the immediate need of such an en- forcement than by these pictures, show ing the suffering, the degradation, the immoral influences, the utter lack of anything that is wholesome in the lives Of these poor little wage-earners.
 They speak far more eloquently than any words-and depict state of affairs

 'Erhe definition" said Miss Dinwiddie, as 1 asked just what "home industries meant, 'is where the manufacturer has no place for his employes-no office, no building-but the work is given out to be taken home so that every member of the family, from the little children up to the mother and father, may engage In

 which is terrible in its reality-terribe to encounter, terrible to admit that such things exist in civilized communities. Every visitor at the meetings of the child labor, conference this week has been impressed with the photographic exhibit, as well as with the two charm ing and attractive women, Miss Dinwid- die and Miss Eschenbrenner, to whose capable hands the work is intrusted. Miss Eschenbrenner is the membership secretary of the national child labor committee, while Miss Dinwiddie Is in charge of the exhibit assisted by the clever staff photographer, MT. Lewis w. Hine.

the work, whatever it is without age limit or reference to factory law. The making of artificial flowers is one of the chief employments under this head, and often you will find children just large enough to sit up to a table bending over the tedious work from morning until night, straining their eyes and working their poor little tired fingers off to earn a mere pittance."
 ''The pictures of the children in street trade" Miss Dinwiddie continued are another of groupes that attract widespread attention. One picture that is particularly impressive is the one of the two little newsb boys in front of a saloon. They are getting ready to go in to sell their papers and the title of the picture is, 'Drunks are our best cus- tomers.!
 You see what such a life leads to-

10000 Women Bought It Yesterday

This is an entirely new dish-this Van Camps Spaghetti.
 This is one of the few towns where most grocers have it.
 But, even now, 20, 900 women are buy ing it daily. We have never created such a popular dish. Some people have eaten spaghetti in Rome and wished they could bring supply back to America.
 But our chefs, in two years, have psr- fected recipe better than Italy ever knew.
 The recipe is secret. We can never reveal it to you. But, of the 17 in- gredients, the main ones are these:
 Durum wheat spaghetti.
 Herkimer County full cream cheese.
 Best creamery butter.
 The same superlative tomato sauce
 we use in Van Camps Pork & Beans. The dish is prepared in our kitchens and supplied to you ready to serve. Simply heat it or bake 1t, as you prefer. It costs you less than to make it your. self, even if we told you how.
 This is dish you ought to know, and know 1t while it's new. You'll find yourself serving it ten times a often as you serve spaghetti now.
 Tell your grocer to send you some.

Another frock of embroidered lawn has
a bolero of taffeta which fastens at the

Velvet is also much used as piping for
silk suits when a cording of the silk il
