present Child Labor law, although
it more clearly defines the regulations
and provisions for the employment 0f
children above the age OF fourteen
years, with fifteen and sixteen years
as the limit for employment in GER
tain cases.
Miss Emily p Bissell. Of the Child
Labor Commission. has been most
active in behalf of the measure,
which she has been advocating for
several years. She has been unre-
lenting in pressing the measure and
naturally is much olated that II has
been passed. The bill to create a
permanent Child Labor Commission
also has passed both branches il hay-
ing been urged by Miss Bissell too.

resolution. requiring all claims to be
filed with the Senate or House Com

Social and Personal

FOLK Lore" was the subject OF an
enErossing and thoroughly fascinating
lecture made yesterday afternoon by
DR.. G. Alphonso Smith. OF the Univer-
sity or Virginia. before the members of
the Noman's Club. With the speaker
one trod again the way OF the ballad
and the ancient song. these priceless
specimens Of literature that have been
handed down orally from generation

time acquaintance with rhymes Of old
and far-off happy dreams. There was
large audience present to welcome
DIR. Smith back to the clib for his
second lecture this season.
He began with plea Tor tho Vir.
gfnia Folk Lore Society. recently or
ganized here, and gave Interesting ac-
counts OF tho discovery Of several old

Folk lore Is n big tenn and the

now towards the presentation and res
toration OF the "Marse Robert" stories
and the folk lore OF the darkies. II is
worthy of note that the Tar Baby
story probably dates back TO 400 years
before Christ and is about the Oldest
story in American literature. Dr.
Smith stated that IL was matter of
profound interest. this wealth OF ma
terial to be had in the South. and this
searching out OF the origin and germ
OF the stories.
To the speaker. the ballad appears
TO be the most interesting side OF the
subject. There exist to-day 305 bal
lads--no more. no less--bccause they
wore written in "A time when the peo-
pie fought and lived as 4 whole not as
an individual. The ballad is for the
people, of the people and by the people.

is written and sung diStinctively for
