the old style labor department to an
industrial commission are recorded
this year, but special commissions or
boards to administer workmen's COM
pensation laws were created in Ken
lucky, Maryland and New York. In
several states salaries of labor de-
partment stats were increased.
Child Labor.
Eleven states, or about three
quarters of those in which legislation
was passed this year, took action
on child labor. Arkansas, Georgia,
Kentucky, Mississippi and Virginia
passed entirely new codes, and other
states amended their laws, tending
to raise age limits and educational
requirements, to shorten hours and
to forbid hazardous employments and
night work. Backward steps were
taken in Maryland, where the mini
mum age for newsboys was reduced
from II years to 10, and in Missis-
sippi, where the maximum working
hours for boys Of II and girls of 16
were increased from eight to ten
a day.
Workmen's Compensation.

lucky, Louisiana, and Maryland, ex-
actly "a states, or one-half of those

Common Law Marriage Valid.

Common law marriages in Oklahoma
are held as valid and binding as any
other form of marriage agreement, or
contract, by Judge Phil ID. Brewer in
an opinion given in suprece court COM
mission, division No 2, in reversing
the judgment of the district court OF
Blaine county in the case of Mrs. En-
ma Love VS.. w. S. Love, the father Of
her common law husband.
Statutes, which seek to provide reg
ulations for the performance Of the
marriage ceremony, Judge Brewer
holds, are merely directory and when
such statutes do not expressly forbid
other forms of marriage. common
law marriage, consummated in accord
ance with the common law, is valid
and binding.
The common law husband of Mrs.
Love died some time ago, and upon his
death she was given letters of an ad-
ministrator of his estate. The father
Of the deceased filed a petition in the
county court of Blaine county, asking
that the letters held by Mrs. Love be
vacated on the ground that she was
his sons common law wife and held
no title or interest in his estate. This
contention was overruled by the coun-
ty court and on appeal to the district
court is was sustained.
During the proceedings in the lower
court 1t was admitted that the only
marriage ceremony claimed to have
been performed by virtue OF which
Mrs. Love claimed to have been mar
ried was performed in the presence OF
witnesses in a hotel in Anadarko on
March 10, 1910. No official record
was made OF the marriage, II was ad-
mitted.
Property rights involved in the case
we're insignificant, Judge Brewer
holds the principal issue was to give
a name to the daughter OF Mrs. Love.
Dealing with this phase of the case
Judge Brewer says:

Heavy Fine For Frisco.

The Oklahoma corporation commits.
sion took drastic means last week Of
enforcing its order requiring the rail
roads to permit passengers to board
trains without being compelled to
show their tickets. An order was is
sued assessing a fine Of $500 and
costs against the Frisco for requiring
passengers to show their tickets.
The complaint was filed with me
commission by j. C. Smith Of Okla
homa City. Smith alleged that on
April Is last he attempted to board
Frsico train at Warwick when the
brakeman demanded that he show
his ticket. When he refused the
brakeman seized Smith and pulled
him off the steps and required him
to produce the pasteboard before
boarding the train.
Most of the railroads have been
obeying the order relative to showing
tickets, but the commission has had
several complaints that the Frisco
was disregardnig 1t.

DISHES FOR SUMMER

Some HInts That MAY Help House,

That VIII Be Enjoyed

In winter the curling steam from

Here are some practical hints which
may help. Non; 10 expensive:
First, the table. is the setting to

cool and as attractive as possible.
Make 1t look inviting" In every sense,
with flowers, fish and ferns. Little
ferns are cheap enough. Regularly wa

two or three drops of castor oil four
times a year, they are a permanent
possession.
Now. for the food. Have you tried
cold soup? 1t must be we'll strained.

This makes most satisfying summer
dish.
Cold meat is not attractive, and
stews and hashes are worse-in sum-
mer! After a joint has appeared once

thick slices, and trim into outlet
shapes, and fry as you would do fish.
after dipping into egg and bread
crumbs. Potatoes, too, are much bet
ter mashed, cut into squares, and
baked till the outsides are nice
brown.
Fish should always be served with
a frill of parsley or lettuce leaves. A
sliced tomato, some watercress, some
pieces of lemon-this at once tempts
a tired man to eat.
Salads and salad dressings are most
important adjuncts to food In summer.
With a well-made salad the man for

pie, yet quite nice, salad. 1t dlspenses
with other vegetables. Slice up a
small cooked caulihower. two or three
potatoes, two lettuces, one large to-
m9to, beetroot and cucumber. Add
little finely scraped horse radlsh.
So, with the table nicely laid, at
tractive with ferns and flowers, spot
less tablecloth and the food daintily
put before him, the breadwinner Ia
certain to be more than satisfied.

A way to prepare rhubarb for using

Protests Against Vests Amendments

Protests against the submission Of
TWO Of the FIVE constitutional amend.
ments, said to be backed by Attorney
General Charles West, and which 1t
is proposed t. have submitted at the
August primary election, were filed
In the size OF the legislature to one
house of eighty members and a sub
ordinate body of fifteen members to
be known as commissioners.
The amendment providing the
change in the judiciary, 1t is alleged
in the protest, is IN conflict with both
the bill of rights ana the federal con.
stitution, and also in conflict with the
state constitution. 1t further is al
legged that many of the signers OF the
petition are not qualified voters of the
state and that Attorney General West,
by reason of the fact that he is al
legged to be supporting and advocating
the adoption Of the amendments, is
disqualified from preparing the ballot
titles, a duty which is imposed upon
the attorney general by the constitu-
ton.
The same allegations with reference
to the attorney general and the In.
sufficiency of legal signatures are
made In the protest against the leg.
islative amendment. The proposed
amendment, it also is charged, is in
conflict with the enabling act and the
organic law Of the state
The judiciary amendment, it is al
legged, is in confiat with Article / Of
Section 10 Of the federal constitution.
which provides that, mo state shall
pass any bill of attainder, ex post
facto law, or law impairing the obliga.
ton of contract or grant any title Of
nobility"
The restriction made by the federal
constitution against the passage of a
bill of attainder" amounts to a pro-
hibition against the submission of the
amendment, the protest alleges, be-
cause the provisions of said proposed
amendment to the constitution, infllct
punishment without judicial trial upon
the justices Of the supreme court by
disqualifying them from office, or from
the pursuits of lawful avocation,
when they are citizens of the United
States otherwise qualified to hold
Office"
