The acoustics OF the hall Of the
House Of Representatives Of Georgia
probably are the worst in the world.
Physically, the hall is one OF the most
beautiful. dignifed and stately in the
Union. It is a hail, so far as that IS
concerned, the State well may be
proud o.
Il is all but impossible to speak in
it though, so miserably deficient is i;
in acoustic properties So far this
session two men only have been able
to overcome its battling and depress-
ing difaculties-Sp Speaker Burwell and
representative olive.

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-

sentatives Macarthur and Browning

A broad smile fitted through the
House when Old Man NoX 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 demonstrated
wonderful ability 10 handle the

An agricultural school FOR the

a bill introduced in the House by

and there has been an active move
ment under way TO have the Legisla-

It Costs $3.50 to Kiss
A Niece of Uncle Sam

WASHINGTON, July S,--The price
Of a kiss in the Government service is
$3.50, as Frank d. Hester, an $500 a
year section chief of the Pension Blu
reau, found out to-d day when he kissed
a temporary girl good bye.
Someone saw the kissing and told
Pension Commissioner Saltzgarber,
who promptly suspended the offend
ing chief for three months without
pay
AS the kissee left the service to-
day with the rest Of the temporary
clerks, she was not fined or sus-
pended In fact there is reason to
believe that the Commissioner
thought she was more kissed against
than kissing.

CHILDLABORBI 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 Ia
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 "A 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.
Al the same time in which the
Sheppard bill was introduced in the
House q 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
pathlzers 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.
