The acoustics Of the hall Of the
House Of Representative Of Georgia
probably are the worst in the world.
Physically The hall * one OF the most
beautiful. dignihed and stately in the
Union. 1t is q hail, so far as that is
concerned. the State Wen may be
proud Of
II is all but impossible to speak in
it though, 50 miserably deficient Is IL
in acoustic properties So far this
session two men only have been able
TO overcome its battling and depress-
ing difficulties-Speake Burwell and
Representative Olive.
BY working Ike a Trojan and ex-
hausting a good lung full OF atmos-
phere on every sentence or so, Bur
well makes himself clear-then, too,
he generally has the attention OF tho
House to a reasonable degree.
Wednesday. Sam Olive Of Rich
moEd, went up against those hon
orable acoustics. and while he
knocked them out, good and proper.
he had a mighty struggle getting
away with II. and when he had An
ished, his alabaster brow-which runs
pretty far back. by the way-was
bathed in honest sweat, and his lung
equipment was much the worse for
wear.
Olive really is a corking good ora
tor. He enunciates distinctly and
speaks with elaboration and care
fully distributed emphasis. He evil
IDENTIFY knows the rules of good speak
Ing and II he makes many more
speeches such as the. one he delivered
Wednesday he is sure to he known
throughout this session as one OF the
genuinely effective floor leaders
There Is no question Of Olive =
ability 10 talk eloquently and con-
vincingly.
Mr.. Slater Of Bryan trotted out that
ancient and well-known legislative
standby, Old Man vox Populi and
gave him his first legislative airing
Wednesday.
Mr. Slater was making an impas-
stoned plea for the ousting OF Repre-
sentatiyes Macarthur and Browning
more in sorrow than in anger, how
ever-and during the progress Of the
debate. Old Man Vox got in the game.
A broad smile fitted through the
House when Old Man Vox made his
first appearance, but as he is an an
Client and approved friend, he got the
glad hand on all side
From this time forward he may be
expected to make his appearance
every day or so.
Speaker Burwell is a stickler for
forms and ceremonies in legislative
debate. Already he has demonstrates
a wonderful ability to handle the
House. no matter how acute the par
liamentary situation II may get itself
INTO
BurweI however. insists that every
member toe the mark in observing the
rules, not only as to procedure but
as to courtesy

CHILDLABORB BILL
IS OPPOSED BY
REFORMERS
Lack Of Educational Clause Makes
Proposed Law Objectionable to
National Association.

A fight, under the leadership Of
Harvey P. Vaughn, Of New York, rep
resentative Of the National Child La
Dor Association, will be made against
the adoption of the Sheppard child la
Dor bill when It is taken up by the
Labor and Labor Statistics Commit
tee Of the House Assisting him will
be Mrs Margaret T. McWhorter. Of
Atlanta
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 a 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 bin was introduced in the
House a similar bill was introduced
In the Senate by Senator J. Randolph
Anderson and Senator Fred Kea The
bill was thought to be scheduled for
smooth sailing.
1T is the object of the National
Child Labor Association and its SYM
pathizers to give every child the in
herent right Of an education, and the
fight for this will never cease until
such laws are enforced, said Mrs.
McWhOrter,

sion" the recent statement by Lieu
