Movement for Half Holiday


 The old English adage that all work and no play makes jack a dull boy is evidently appealing to the Germans. Hitherto 1t has been thing unknown in Germany but the National League of Trades Unions Is now trying to have Saturday half-holiday made compul- sory at least for workingwomen and girls and bill to that effect will be submitted to the Reichstag in the au- tumn. At present the law only com pels employers to release their female employees on Saturdays at p. m
 From what one can see of it the male employees work just as long as the masters desire.
 Socialism in Germany
 Socialism is growing in Germany That - evidenced by the annual report of the executive committee of the SO cial democratic party, which triumph antly announces that for the first time the number of enrolled subscribing members has passed the million mark The party muster roll shows 1,os5.9 members. of whom 174,754 are women
 This contamination, a million of en- rolled members, has been devoutly and vainly wished for some three years past. After the red elections of 1912 there was falling off in the rate of increase among the male recruits. which was not set off by the rapid growth of women enlisted. The in crease over last year Is given at 10.5 per cent. As the party reckons that the votes of enrolled members at cleo tions are only 25.5 per cent of the total votes cast flor the party, it will be seen that socialist vote of about 10000 is expected whenever the gov ernment cares to dissolve the Reich stag.

the engineer applied the air brakes,
but the train struck Oder and threw
him several feet away. His skull was
crushed, his legs broken and his body

COMMISSIONER D
WOODFORD MAKES
BANK STATEMENT.
Report Shows the Alexander
Bank Short $4,000 in
Cash.
HEAVY EXPENSE
ACCOUNT.
Liability of Directors Still
Being Debated by Paris
People.

The publication of Special Bank
ing Commissioner sBuckner Wood
ford's report of the condition of the
George Alexander State Bank, has
caused renewed interest in the affairs
of that defunct institution
The statement shows loans and
discounts of 1855, 194.31, overdrafts of
$$11,813, due from banks $34,796.55
and cash on hand 500, indicating that
little, if any, of the assets of the bank
have been actually converted. The
deposits amount to $280,179, accord
ing to the report which is substan-
TALLY the same as in the'last report
The existence of commercial paper
signed by Mr.. Alexander for the bank,
and which it is claimed, does not ap-
pear on the books of the bank, is rec
ognized as one of the greatest diff
culties in the way of prompt liquid
alton.
An interesting subject of debate
is whether these outstanding obliga-
tiOnS which the,,,bank Tor it's stock
holders and directOrs) must pay, or
whether Their they will be held to be
private and therefore presumably
worthless notes of Mr.. Alexander.
The report of the special commits
sioner does not show that these notes
have been added to the list of the
banks Liabilities
Items showing a cash shortage of
$S,061.53, and an expense account of
$3,05155, are among the chief feat
Ilres of interest in the statement,
which, in other respects, is not great
ly different from the last one made
by the bank before it's doors were

TOBACCO AND IGNORANCE.

Big crops of tobacco !, according to
one of our Kentucky exchanges, keep
the children out of school and there
by tend to the production of illiteracy
and ignorance. 1t is to be feared
that this is true of many of the big to-
bacco-grOwing counties of the State.
There are tenant growers, for in
stance, and not few of them, who
put out crops of such size as to re-
quire the united labor of whole famil-
ies-men, women and children. The
raising Of tobacco is hard work and
the work lasts practically all the year
around. 1t is not a pleasant sight to
see women and little children toiling
in tobacco fields, but it can be seen
in many sections of Kentucky.

SOMETHING NEW FOR BABIES
Better Babies, !"

Better Babies"
What an optimistic, captivating
sound those two words have.
And the best part of it is that they
stand for all that their sound Sug
gests, one of the big, interesting Vita
ideas of the hour, the Better Babies
movement
1t started with the idea of making
the old-fashioned baby show a bit
more satisfactory by having babies
examined for physical perfection in
stead of dimpleS, golden wrinkles
and peaches-and-cream skins. Then
a magazine whose editors love babies
saw the possibilities of turning this
new kind of baby show into a fine
broad campaig for makig babies
better And out of it grew the Bet
ter Babies Contest.
A Better Babies Contest is a scien
tific examination of children five
years of age or under, for physical
and mental development, and the
awarding of prizes to those who de
serve them, on the grounds of good
all-around development. Good looks
infantile beauty count only for what
they are really worth in baby's health
and growth, while many more i'm
portant things count great deal
more.
A fine, healthy, well-developed baby
may score one thousand points &C
cording to the Better Babies STANDARD
Score Card by which all babies are
tested. These points are divided as
follows: Two hundred for mental and
developmental tests, which proves
whether baby takes proper notice Of
what goes on around him, walks, sits
up and speaks properly and shows g
mental growth to correspond to his
age. One hundred points for weight
whether baby is well-proportioned fol
his age. Five hundred for physica
development, sturdy bones, firm flesh
smooth skin, good digestion, circula
ton and respiration. One hundred
and fifteen for mouth and teeth
Eighty-five for eye, ear, nose anG
throat tests.
All of these tests are made by
doctor, and it takes pretty fine
| baby to score over copper cent il
this kind of a baby contest.
