In MenlOlianl.

In tender and loving remembrance of
our son, Allen W. Willhide, who died two
years ago, Feb. l, 1910.
How slender is life's tender cord,
How soon it's broken here;
Each moment brings parting word,
And many falling tear.
God called him home was His will,
But in my heart l love him still;
His memory is as dear today
AS in the hour he passed away.

Regarding Child Labor.

In Maryland we have had Child
Labor law since 1906, but its restric-
.ions are few and not very inclusive.
1t provides that children may not he
legally employed under tie age OF
twelve; that between the ages Of IL
and sixteen they may secure employ
ment by passing very simple e'll-
cational and physical test and that
they may not he employed more than
ten hours a day in any manufacture
ing business or factory established in
any part of the state, or in any mer-
camille business in the city of Balti-
more. The law is suspended in the
counties from June LIST to October ID
of every year. And, in order not to
discriminate in favor of the Gamer
les located in the counties, in the ad-
ministration of the law, the city can
ners are privil' ged with the same rx-
emption.
An overwhelming per cent OF the
children who work are employed in
few industries, and in most of these
they are not at all essential to the
success of the industry. AS an oc-
cupation for children in Maryland
the ready made clothing industry
ranks first and far in the lead, giving
employment to % per cent OF the
total number OF children IT ported for
manufactures in 1908.
According to the report on an rX-
haustvr study of this industry made

part of the labor force every where.
In five larg. cities investigated on y
