were kind to her, the one opportunity
to express the longing for JOY in her

Child as Potential Wage Garner.

Child as Potential wage Garner.
And so that is why Miss Ferber
wrote the story of Hannah, who didn't
fit anywhere and whom nobody loved.
"For that's what's bound to happen,
she explained, when a child is looked
upon only as a potential wage Garner
and nothing else. If children were SIM
ply not allowed to work they would
not be viewed in this sordid way, and
natural affection would have chance
to grow. What's more, the child itself
would have a chance to grow"
But as things are now poor little
Hannah, who is merely the type OF
thousands of other children, must bear
silently the black looks and the frowns
of her relatives until she is fourteen,
but then. when she is fourteen"
writes Edna Ferber, "the frowns that
surround her will change TO smiles.
When she is fourteen the looks that
follow her every morsel Of food will
cease to be black. AS a French girl
dreams of marriage, as mother longs
for her child, as beauty covets silks
and Jewels, so little Hannah Shakowitz
waits and dreams and longs for the

Edna Ferber Finds the Clinker.

Edna Ferber Finds the Clinker.
1t was Edna Ferber. well known to
magazine readers as the creator OF the
breezy and capable Mrs. McChesney,
who discovered the forlorn Hannah
Sbakowitz. Two heroines more widely
different one can hardly imagine, and
vet Il is lust because Miss Ferber adj
mires the strong, effective woman who
can do things that she wants to hold
out a helping hand to the thousands
of unfortunate little girls whose pres
emit condition in life makes it impossi-
BILE for them ever to come up to her
ideal.
As for "The Clinker," Edna Ferber
found her eating her three meals day
as if she had as much right TO them
as anv one else. Found her taking up
valuable space in the bed she shared
with her cousin Yetta and the baby,
and not contributing one cent to the
family budget And this outrageous
state of affairs would have to go on
for eight months more. No wonder no
body loved Hannah Shakowitz.
Miss Ferber wrote about Hannah at
the request of the National Child
Labor Committee, which has published
the story, with contributions, by other
authors, in a little pamphlet entitled
"The Clinker and Some Other Chill
dren."

JURY SETS FREE
NINE. ChILLAUX
Great Murder Trial Ends in an
Acquittal Verdict.
"UNWRITTEN LAW" FIGURED
Defendant Declared Temporarily In
sane When She Slew calmette-
Paris Mohs Cheer and Reviie
Her Husband.

Paris. July 30-"Not guilty" was
the verdict of the jury in the case OF
Nine. Caillaux, whose trial on the
charge OF murder has been one of the
most sensational and exciting in
French court annals.
Nine. Caillaux killed CASTOR Cal
mette. editor of lie Figaro. not in cold
blood, according TO the jurors, but
while temporarily insane through fear
that he would publish letters which
had passed between herself and Gail
laux before they were husband and
wife.
1t is probable that the unwritten law
also plays its part in bringing about
the acQuittal of the beautiful wife of
the former French premier. The deli
cate point Of honor" was dwelt upon
at length by Maitre Labor in his plea
for the prisoner, who sat weeping soft
ly as he talked. And the plea had its
effect. Before he finished several of
the jurors were in tears.
The verdict was NC surprise to the
thronged court room, but its announce
ment by the jurors was greeted with
an uproar which seemed to shake the
verv walls of the palais du justice.
"Caillaux! Caillaux! Vive Call
laux!" screamed the adherents OF the
one time strong man of France"
"Murderess-let US spit on her." Cal
mette's supporters cried back.
Out in the corridors, and in the
streets, where thTongs were damned
awaiting the verdict, there was still
another uproar Caillaux and his wife
were alternately cheered and Kissed,
Landed and reEiled. Crowds of Call
laux supporters cried his name and
cheered wildly, then shouted cheers
for NJ. Labor. Other crowds shouted
cheers for Chenu and for the slain edi-
tor and Kissed out curses at every
mention of the former premier's name
All during the summing up Nine
Caillaux sobbed At one time, during
a particularly violent attack ON her
character by Attorney Chenu. she fell
in dead faint and recess had to be
taken while physicians revived her
When the jury finally fled out to it's
deliberations, her entire body was
twitching,. her cheeks were stained
with tears and her eyes sunken.
Nine. Caillaux looked up quickly as
the jurors re-entered the court room
with their verdict and clenched her
hands so tightly that her finger nails
cut into the flesh.
Then. as the words mot guilty"
were pronounced. with wild, almost
insane laugh that seemed half a sob,
she rose with arms extended toward
her husband. Her hair already dis
heveled came unfastened and fell about
her shoulders.
"Josephi Joseph!" she cried and
then fell fainting into the arms of
Maitre Labor.
