The Hill entry won this year in the
face of the keenest competition, hun

yielded fair returns.
They labored early and late and de-

"CriminaIn Neglect.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir 1 am very glad to see The
Evening Star taking up the question
of getting rid of dogs that are sus-
pected of being infected with rabies,
or in other words dogs that are liable
to go mad during the hot summer
months.
1t seems almost incredible that
there is no legislation covering the
subject, and the neglect would seem
to me almost to amount to crimi-
nal one The health and lives of citi-
zens in general and of young chill
dren, in particular. are imperilled by
the possibility of mad dogs running
at large, and this peril is made dou-
bly, great by the fact that there is
no legal way the situation can be
taken care of.
1t is matter that should be met
at once and 1t almost seems of suf-
ficient Statewide interest to demand
special session of the Legislature,
even II one is not needed for any
other purpose.

' ' LETTER
BY n. B. WALKER
MAY FIGHT ON CHILD LABOR
RYH.R H..
Star Stan Correspondent.
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, July IA.


WASHINGTON, July IA.
Injection of the child labor ques-
titon into the tariff debate by the
Senate Committee on Finance and
the Democratic caucus promises to
lead to some interesting complica-
lions when that clause is reached.
Among the changes made by the
finance committee and Democratic
caucus in the Underwood bill, as re-
ported to the Senate. is the addi-
ton of a paragraph forbidding the
Importation of any goods made by
child labor in countries that have
laws for the regulation of child la
Dor. The announcement of the
amendment has produced a mild SEN
sation among Republicans and Pro-
gressives, and they are preparing to
tear the paragraph to pieces.
There has been before the Senate
for several years a bill to prohibit
interstate commerce in the United
States in products of child labor.
Constitutional objections, in which
many Democrats have Joined, has
kept this bill in committee. Now
the proposal of a Democratic eau
Gus to refuse to allow other countries
to send the product OF child labor
here is causing merriment and evok-
ing charges of inconsistency.
For one thing, it is urged, the
paragraph is probably meaningless.
Most countries, even India and ia
pan, have child labor laws of some
kind, and there would probably be lit
tie effect if the clause were left In the
bill. as 1t is not supposed the Treas
ury Department will be charged with
the duty of enforcing the child Ia
Dor laws of other countries.
Even should there be enforcement
of the law, and child labor products
of other countries be excluded, 1t Is
pointed out by some of the critics,
the effect would only be to raise
the price of such products in the
home market, and enable domestic
employers of child labor to take
greater profits for themselves.
On the whole, the solicitude OF the
Senate Democrats for the child Ia
borers of other countries, compared
with their refusal heretofore to agree
to a federal law against child labor
in this country, is laying them open
to a line of attack which promises
to put some of them on the defense
before the debate is ended
The fact that a number of South
ern senators, representing States
where child labor laws are dead
letter, have agreed to the provi-
sion, adds to the interest in the
promised attack. 1t is reported that
among the senators who agreed to
this provision were several who OBJ
jected to the reappointment of DR..
MacNell as commissioner of labor,
because of the reports he had made
exposing child labor conditions in the
factories of North and South, Caro-
lima and Georgia.

L ROSTRUM
Need of Mad Dog Legislation.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir: The need of some drastic
measure In this city protecting resi-
dents, children particularly, from the
horde of unmuzzled dogs which prowl
about the streets, is seen In the large
number of cases recently treated in
the City Hospital. The fact that
large percentage of these dog bite"
cases do not result seriously is no
fault of the authorities. 1t Is for
tunate that such is the case, but to
allow such conditions to exist is
merely exposing our children to a
great danger.
None but those who have witnessed
the death of child from the effects
of being bitten by mad dog can
appreciate the horror of such death.
The members of such a childs fam
ily will never forget the terrible ex-
perience and will always take live
ly interest in the question of what
is to be done to the dog which runs
amuck biting children and pedes-
trians.
1t should not be necessary for per-
sons to have this matter brought
home to them forcibly by a similar
in their own homes. 1t is
the apathy of the Newark public
which has allowed this condition to
exist. The local authorities are power
less to cope with the situation be-
cause there Is no law which would
lauthoriZe them to take charge of
brute which has attacked a person.
The ordinance on this subject pro-
viding that any dog which bites a
person shall be placed under observa-
ton for twelve days is ineffective.
Those who shall observe the brute
during this time, according to the
law, are the owners. 1t is not very
likely that the owners take much care
in watching the derelict dogs, and in
fact 1t is we'll known that the ordi-
nance merely exists, but its enforce
ment is out of the question, What is
needed is separate city department
to deal with the menace and then the
children playing in the streets and
pedestrians would be somewhat pro-
tected from the mad animals.

crude raft out upon the river. In
midstream they quietly pushed the
body overheard, watched the waters
close over 1t, and then sadly made
their way back to shore.
Such was the pathetic ending OF
Fernando de Soto, discoverer of the
Mississippi river. His wife in Spain
watched through many weary months
for his return; but she watched in
vain.
De Soto was born about 1900 at
Badajoz, Estremandura, Spain.
After leaving school he went In 1913
with his patron, Pedrarias, on an
expendition to Darien in Panama.
After this he explored the coast of
Guatemala and Yucatan, and in 1881
led 800 volunteers to aid Pizarro in
Peru. He helped to conquer the land
of the Incas, and was so successful
that when he returned to Spain he
possessed a fortune of 100000 ducats.
