New Factory Inspector

One woman i'll the state of Della
ware will be responsible after July
| for the enforcement of the ten
hour law, and will have under her
supervision the working hours of
the $4,000 employed women of the
state.
Miss Margaret S. Malone, a grad
uate Of Smith College, president of
the Peoples Settlement, has been
chosen by the chancellor of Della
ware to enforce the law, passed af-
ter a desperate fight during the last
session Of the legislature.
Miss Malone is the only woman
inspector employed by the state of
Delaware. Her work during the
next two years will not only test
her ability, but will establish a
standard Of inspection will dem
onstrate the good effects of the law
and prove to the state whether or
not the protection it has afforded
its working women is adequate.
The effectiveness Of the ten-hour
law now rests with Miss Malone. 1t
has been said of her by those who
were instrumental in having the
measure adopted that her inspec-
ton will be worth as much to the
working women Of the state as the
measure itself, and friends of the
law are as much delighted over her
as they were the pas
sage of the bill.

The Origin OF Children's Day

In 1857, the Rev. Charles Hall
Leonard, then pastor of the second
Universalist Church in Chelsea,
Mass, on the second Sunday In
June celebrated children S Sunday
as an established day in the church
calendar. Some years preceding
this he had set apart one

which the church service was devot-

HAS A BIG TASK


The new inspector has tremen-
dous task before her. She wall nave
to obtain the cooperation OF the
manufacturers, many OF Whom
were opposed to the measure. she
will have to inaugurate an educa-
tional campaign among employers
and employees TO make known the
actual terms of the law and to eX-
plain to them the necessity for rigid
adherence to its provisions. The
only way to do this will be by per-
sonal visits to all the establishments
of the state which employ women.
Not onl ythe big factories and
laundries, the mills and depart
ment stores Of Wilmington will be
visited by the Inspector; she Will
have to penetrate the rural sections,
the corner grocery store where a
girl is employed, village bakeries
and dry goods stores, mllllnerles,
trimming and notion shops will
have to be visited. Every little
hamlet of the state that has It's
quota of women workers will have
to be made familiar with the work
ings of the law through Miss Ma
lone's instruction and inspection.
"It is fortunate" she said, IN
talking of her work, THAT the
state is no larger. | am depending
upon the cooperation of the en-
ployers as well as the employees
themselves. | hope to get the civic
bodies Of the state to act as vigil
ance committees and to engage the
clubwomen of rural communities
and country towns in the work.
SEEKS COMMUNITY AID
"Much valuable aid can be given
to an inspector by the community
at large, and, though my task looks
like big one, I think it will be
made easy by the people of Della
ware, who, l am sure, now that the
state has decided to protect its
working women, will lend their aid
to make the ten-hour law a real
force for improving their physical
condition. -
Miss Malone is young woman,
whose experience in the People 5
Settlement, one Of her pet projects
which has become known to all the
poor of Wilmington during the
last eight years, has qualified her
for her present position. She has
lived in Delaware all her life and
there her parents and grandparents
had their home. She is thoroughly
familiar with the sociological con.
ditions of the state.
In preparation for her new jot
during the next few weeks she will
visit New York and Massachusetts
to see how inspectors there enforce
labor legislation and to get hints
for her own campaign. She is san.
guine Of the good that will result
from the ten-hour law, and believes
that the next two years will be cru
cial ones in the industrial history oil
the state of Delaware.

DRESSED CHICKENS
TAB00ED BY ORDER
FRESH MEATS CAN NOT BE DE.
LIvERED BY PARCEL POST
OUTSIDE FIRST ZONE.

Dressed chickens cannot be sent by
parcel post farther than the first postal
zone. The same rule applies to fresh
meat of any kind and the clerks in
the parcel post division at the Ottum-
wa postoftice are kept on the alert to
prevent this class of mail from being
sent through the office.
Published accounts of such articles
having been safely sent to Milwaukee,
Chicago and other cities at a distance
from Ottumwa, seem to have inspired
a great many poultry raisers to make
similar experiments and the result Is
extra watchfulness on the part Of the
clorks at the parcel post windows.
Before the inception of the parcel
post service, the rules governing the
service were so fully and repeatedly
published that 1t was not at first
thought necessary to use great care
in ascertaining the contents of par
cells presented for mailing but 1t
seems that these precautions are nee
essary. Many parcels containing
dressed poultry, or other fresh meats
have been presented for mailing with
in the past month. Sometimes par-
Gel of this nature eludes the vigilance
of the parcel post clerk and goes
through to its destination, but In
many cases. the nature Of the parcels
has been discovered and the parcels
refused admission to the mails. @
A recent order issued by the post
master general fixes the eighth zone
rate of postage for parcels intended
for delivery to United States naval
vessels stationed in foreign waters.
This rate is twelve cents pound.
For these vessels when stationed at
United States ports, the same rate
of postage applies to them which ap-
plies to the city where they are sta
toned.

COMMITTEE TO
INVESTIGATE CASE
Continued From Page ~

that similar report was signed by a
visiting committee that went to Ames,
except as to the last paragraph, by
George W. Durham, A. w. Buchanan
and P. H. Gregory. The report adopted
and made of record was: 't
"Your committee after an earnest
endeavor to get an understanding of
the needs of this school, to understand
the magnitude of the enterprise. both
in it's work and expenditures to know
what has been done for the school by
the state in the way Of appropriations
and by the school mana cement in car
rying out the promises made and plans
proposed, have become firmly con-
vinced that no legislature or commit
tee thereof can, in the short time al
lowed for that purpose, become so
conversant with the workings of che
institutions, with it's actual present
pressing needs, or form such judg,
ment of it's probable growth and future
needs. as to be able to safely legislate
for it in the matter of appropriations.
1--WE believe. in the interest of the
taxpayers of the state, and its educa-
tional institutions, there should be
chosen a competent board of manage.
ment for the three state educational
institutions, in whose hands should be
placed their financial management;
that under such board management it
will be possible to expend the monies
of the state more judiciously than has
heretofore been done; that only under
such management can the most urgent
need be known and met, and each In
stitution be assured it's fair and appro-
pirate share of the state money to do
the work it should do.
1--WE believe that such management
viii ultimately do away with much
unnecessary duplication in work and
unnecessary expenditure OF money,
and will put the proposition OF the ex-
penditure of the state appropriation
for educational institutions on a proper
basis. We do. therefore, heartily
recommend the establishing and ap.
pointment of such board.
"For the engineering department, it
lis tie Judgment Of your committee
that no buildings should be erected
and that the department should be
discontinued entirely, for the reason
that we have, at Ames, one of the
finest engineering halls in the coun-
try, and we believe that all expendi-
lures in this line should be concen-
trated in one place
This report is the basis for the action
taken which led to the investigation
and final report on which the new
state board of education was founded.
At that time leading members of the
legislature saw clearly how impossi-
BILE 1t was for the legislature itself to
arrive at any complete understanding
Of these institutions, and attention
was called to the beginning then be-
ing made Of the policy Of duplication
