Child Labor Committee

New York, March 9.-Announce-
ment was made here today by the Ma
tional Child Labor committee that all
the details have been completed for
the tenth annual national conference
which will open here at New Or
leans on Sunday afternoon, March Is.
Two score or more of the most prom
inen5 advocates of better child labor
laws representing as many sections
of the country, have accepted invita-
tions to attend. Many will address
the conference during the sessions
which will continue through Wednes-
day, March IS.
The two important subjects which
will come before this years confer
ence, it was stated today, will be en-
forcement of child labor laws and the
question of federal legislation with
special reference to the Owen-Palmer
child labor bill now pending in con-
gress. "The backwardness of south
ern states and the exemptions that
weaken the laws of other states" also
will be discussed in detail. In con-
nection with today's announcement of
lltS OWtii N. IoNSJOy1 SSii-
eral secretary of the national child
labor committee, issued the following
appeal for funds:
"To carry out the study of methods
of administration of child labor laws
we need larger staff, for our work
will be more comprehensive than it
has been in the past. The legislative
battle is far from won and unless our
income is greatly increased we must
face the serious question as to which
line of effort it is most urgently neces-
sary for us to follow. We should like
to celebrate our tenth anniversary
with doubling of our membership
and total income of 100000. Then
it would be possible for US to continue
our membership and present work for
better child labor laws and to take up
adequately the matter of enforcement
of the child labor laws already en-
acted"

Vera Cruz, March 9.-Despite des-
perate attempts by Huerta to build
up some semblance of the same IRON
handed sort of government by which
old Porfrio Diaz had ruled for so many
wears, the institution the Indian die
tator headed slowly grew less stable.
Huerta, however, took conditions stoi-
cally. He still made his usual rouna
of drinking places, gambling parlors
and disreputable houses and by the
time he had been in power ten months
a financial crisis was at hand.
The Banco Centrale was forced, one
day, to clase its doors because of the
rush of state bank notes. The state
banks were supposed to keep, III the
Banco Central, sufficient funds to en-
able the central bank to meet pay
ments on the state bank bills. But
railroads were out of operation; mon
eN cOulu NOT De SHlppeu, anu, WIIHouc
money the Banco Central was forced
to refuse to recognize as valid the
bills of state banks. A run began on
the bank. This run extended to other
banks. Silver disappeared as gold
had done, months before. The only
money in sight was of paper and half
of this was made up of the worthless
bank notes.
Huerta tried to solve the problem by
declaring that the state bank notes
were legal tndr 1t was intimated that
anyone who refused to accept them
might be arrested. But the public was
not put at ease. A run was started on
the Bank of London and Mexico, one
of the largest banks in the republic.
The bank closed its doors. Huerta, to
save the day, declared bank holi-
day and. under this subterfuge, the
Bank of London and Mexico made only
small partis, payments on the many
claims upon it.
On January the sum of S32,0O0,0OO
was due from the Mexican govern
ment to holders of Mexican bonds. This

! interest had been guaranteed by a
portion of Mexican customs taxes. For
many months Huerta had seen part of
the customs income set aside to meet
the interest and it was money of which
he was In sore need. The temptation
was too great for the dictator to re-
sist. He issued decree declaring that
the interest payments would not be
made for six months. And, at the
same time, he seized the customs taxes
for his own government.
At the end of twelve months of
Huertaism Mexico finds itself in a
worse situation than it has been in for
half a century. A year of Huerta's s
dictatorship has meant the slaughter
of thousands of Mexicans, the breaking
up of thousands of Mexican homes,
the destruction of millions of dollars
worth of mines, railroads, telegraph
lines, bridges and businesses, which
it had taken a third Of century to
build or create.
The year has seen many Mexican
leaders either assa ssinated, impris-
oned ir eXiled. 1t has seen MeXico's
debts repudiated. 1t has seen the coun-
try's financial reputatio nsink from
the highest point to the equal of the
low esteem in which the finances of the
most unstable of South America repub-
lies is held.
The only bright spot in it all is
that Mexico has daily seen the nearer
approach and inevitable downfall of
Huerta. With all their silence, and
they are silent through fear; the av-
erage man in Mexico hates Huerta
and loved Madero. To him Villa is a
hero for whom he will wildly cheer
just as soon as he knows that he can
cheer without being slain for his en-
thusiasm.
The proof of this fact was definitely
given by the populace of the capital
when news of the raising of the en-
barge on arms to the rebels by Presi-
dent Wilson was first published by the
Mexican newspapers. Anti-American
riots might have been expected by
the populace six months before But
there was not suggestion of anti Am
frlcan feeling in the capital. The very
silence of the masses showed that they
favored the action taken by the United
States.
The next government of Mexico will
owe its existence to the United Sta tes;
there will be great friendship be-
tween the two governmnts. In the end
American business interests, if one
cares to look at the matter in that
narrow light, will discover that it has
not lost but has gained, not cnly in
Mexico, but in all South America.
The masses in Mexico today favor
President Wilson's policy. They agree
with his stand that revolutions mast
end. They are beginning to see what
President Wilson has preached and
acted upon. that true government
means government of TIL, people,
for the people, by the people" They
were glad to get rid of Diaz and his
oppression; the rising of Huerta
crushed their hopes for a time, but
they see the part which the United
States is playing in putting Huerta
Amtrican business interests, if one
freedom" and they are glad ard thank
full. In one year of Huertaism the
United States has gained the friend
ship of the masses of Mexico, even
though it does possess the enmity of
the small upper classes VINO, for gen
erations, have survived by oppression
which almost approached slavery.

BREATHING THE SAME AIR.

A few facts concerning breathing
may be of interest to others beside
the mother. These have come to us
newly discovered by Professor Crowd
er. If you breathe through your
nose you never fill your lungs entirely
with fresh air. No matter where you
are, or at work, from one to ten per
cent is air you have breathed before.
If you are mouth breather there is
little or no Transportation. A person
indoors rebreathes from one to two
per cent of his expired breath. When
lying in bed rebreath is from fonr to
ten per cent.
A person cuddling his head between
pillows and blanket, inevitably re-
breathes larger percentage of air
than others.
The old air that is reinhaled is not
all air that has been in our lungs.
1t is the so-called "deadspace" air
that never went any further than
the nasal passages.
Since, or il these facts are correct.
that we always rebreathe a certain
amount of air, we can readily under
stand the Importance of having an
abundance of cool, dry and moving
air in our homes.
