body from the ciry. both under the

tee of the House. Assisting him will
be Mrs. Margaret 7. McWhorter. Of

Objection to the Sheppard bill lies
in the fact that it does not include an
educational clause. The association
has as a goal the adoption Of law
which will prevent the employment Of
children under IA years of age while
the public schools are in session in
the district in which the child resides.
Mr.. Vaughn and Mrs. McWhorter
will address the Labor and Labor
Statistics Committee when the Shep-
pard bill is taken up, and will en-
deavor to substitute a bill with an
educational clause inserted. Failure
to do so with the committee will re-
suit in its being filed in the House
At the same time in which the
Sheppard bill was introduced in the
House q similar bill was introduced
In the Senate by Senator j. Randolph
Anderson and Senator Fred Kea The
bill was thought to be scheduled for

Mr. Taylor, who is an enthusiastic

editorial that he determined to az
claim it from the pulpit and forcio!y
bring its truths TO the attention Of
Jacksonville women
The sermon was preached 10
great congregation. Since its deliV-
cry Mr.. Taylor has been besieged by
numerous requests that he preach an
other sermon on the same subject
which he is expected to do in the near
future.
such editorial utterances in be-
