SOUTH SSCORED
FOR STAND ON
CHILD LABOR
North Carolina Man Calls Atten-
ton to Mill Conditions and
Urges Remedies,

NEW ORLEANS March -
"Southerners feel that the poor chiid
was born to toll, and should be SCI
at II early" Wiley H. Swift, o.
Greensboro, n. e., told the delegates
TO the tenth annual Conference on
Child Labor here His address was d
scathing denunciation Of Southern
standards and Southern ideals. Our
people have always been kind and
charitable, bur they have never been
just" he cried
WHY is the South so far below
standard in its child labor laws? l
refer especially to North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissipp!. We Southerners are not in
different to the rights of childhood
perhaps we are victims Of an accu-
mutation Of facts and circumstances
over which we have not had con-
troll
"As successors to the civilization of
80 years ago we feel that there is q
difference in children.
Rights Are Overlooked.
THE children of the poor have been
allowed to work because we have
known or thought little of absolute
human rights. Furthermore, we do
not properly understand the laws Of
community progress or know just
what we are doing We have no re-
liable data because there have been
no Investigations, or until recently
we have resented any suggestion that
We needed to learn.
Eve of the South have been pecu-
liarly jealous of our reputation, and
have in many cases hid our eyes
lest we see things that were not good.
Walter Pages speech on the Forgot
ten Man was bold. When DR.. Stiles
said we had hookworm the lie was
all but passed. But the signs are
hopeful. Our educational forces are
hunting for the forgotten man, and
as a result of the investigation car
ried on through Rockefeller Institute,
hookworm is almost as fashionable as
appendicitis
People DeIuded, Ne Says.
up to this time we have allowed
ourselves to be .deluded because our
manufacturers have said things were
all right, and we have respect for
men Of influence and wealth If we
have cried out against the bad rich,
it has been because, In our opinions,
most of the bad rich live next to Wall
street and certainly north of the Ma
son-DiXon line To appoint an in
spectOr for our own mill villages
would be a reflection upon the word
and character OF good men
But, above all, the reason child
labor continues is that the manufac-
turer wants the child in his mill
Since this manufacturer considers
child labor of such vital Importance
that he is willing to go to the Legis-
lature to fight for the right to work a
child, you need not be surprised that
he stll permits a large number OF
our children to be taken from school
and placed at work. and that on any
work day in the cotton mills, week in
and week out, hundreds of girls In
short dresses may be found standing

Been Counted by Astronomers.
fpop,,l,r Mechanics

For years the approximate number
of stars visible to the eye, matter
of 5000 or 1000, according to the
definition of average vision, has been
known. BY most persons, however,
and by many scientists, the total num-
Der of stars in the heavens has been
considered countless, if not limitiess.
The universe is now declared TO be
finite, vet of magniticence of dimcn-
sion and of populousness far beyond
all earlier conceptions. This assrlmp-
tion is a result Of very recent investi-
cations into the motions and distances
Of the stars.
The latest studies on the subject of
the number as we'll as the light of the
stars have been made at the royal OBJ
late Franklin Adams succeeded in
making set Of POS photographs COW
ering the entire sky. After counts
were made on these pictures, from
which the brightness of the self-lum-
inous bodies between practically the
twelfth and seventeenth magnitudes
could be inferred. it was concluded
that they recorded about $1,000, 900
stars. From this formula was de-
termined showing the change of num-
Der in passing from one magnitude to
another. With these figures it was
reasoned that the aggregate number
of stars is not less than 1000, 900, 100,
probably not more than 100000, 900,
and probably approximately 1,60O,-
100000, the estimated present popula-
tion of the earth. In making compu-
tations it was inferred that there
would he as many stars fainter than
magnitude 23 or "a as there are
brighter.
