The Child Labor Law.

The General Assembly took a for
ward step in child labor legislation,
though it did not go as far as the adj
vocates of this legislation desired. The
distinct forward step is in prohibiting
the working of children under sixteen
years Of age in the mills and factories
at night-between the hours of 8 p. M.
and 6 a. m. AS heretofore the work
ing of children under twelve years OF
age Is prohibited; the new law goes a
step farther and prohibits the working
OF children between twelve and thir-
teen years of age in the factories, ex-
cept such as have attended school at
least four months of the preceding
twelve.
There was agitation for the creation
of the Office of Inspector for the en-
forcement of the law, but this propo-
sition was defeated. The enforcement
of the law is left almost or quite en-
tirely in the hands of the county SUI
perintendents of education, whose du-
ty it is to report to the solicitor any
violations of the law. AS the child
labor bill passed the House, it prohib-
tied the working of women in the fac
tories at night; but this provision was

Gus character in that and other insti-
tut1ons in the State and the public

ing less than ten student boarders.
Sec. 8. That in all trails under the
provisions of this act, any student

Illegal to Sell Cocaine.

An act was passed to prohibit the
sale or giving away or otherwise dis
pensing cocaine, alpha or beta ~eucaine,

vides that no person shall sell, give
away or otherwise dispense cocaine,
alpha or beta eucaine, or any mixture
OF either, or any preparation Oh COM
pound containing any of these sub
stances or their salts or compounds,
except on the, prescription of licens-
Cd physician, and any person violating
the provisions of the section is made
guilty of a misdemeanor and subject
to fine or Imprisonment, or both, in
the discretion of the court.
It's provided, however, that this
act shall not prohibit the sale of these

by any licensed manufacturing phar-
n1acist or chemist or wholesale Oh re-
tail druggist to other licensed manu-
featuring pharmacists or chemist or
hospitals, colleges, scientific institu-
tons, physicians, dentists, or veteri-
nary surgeons.
1t is also made a violation of the
law for any person except a licensed
physician, dentlSL, veterinary
OF druggist to have in his possession
any of these substances, except when
obtained in a bona fde manner upon

made prima facie evidence of violation
OF the law. The act prescrfbes very
rigid rules and regulations for the
