NEW CHILD LABOR
 LAWS EFFECTIVE

Montgomery, September 1-(Spe- cial. 1.-The new child labor laws are effective in full today. These laws were enacted last January and in part be- came effective in June. Dr. W.ss H. Oates, state prison inspector, entrust- ed with the enforcement of the stat utes, is taking steps to carry out the legislation.
 No child in Alabama under 13 years of age can legally engage in. any gain full occupation except agriculture and domestic service, and after September 1, 1916. no child under IA years of age can legally be suffered to work Dr. Oates is heartily In favor of these laws and is urging the legislature to give him assistants in that they can in real ity be made effective.
 Sometime ago a pill was introduced providing that the inspector for the enfore ement of the child labor laws shall be authorized to employ two as- sistants and a stenographer. pr. Oates stated in supporting that bill that without assistants he could not guar antee the enforcement of the laws con- sidered so necessary. Every newspaper of Alabama, desiring that the new 5tatutes be obeyed. has called upon the legislature to pass the bill. However, the measure Is still sleeping in the charge of the senate committee on finance ano, taxation.
 It is charged that the opponents of the child labor laws are endeavorinG to kill the Oates bill in the hope that thereby they might nullfy the chile labor laws. It is said that instead of giving Dr. Oates assistants they would amend the child labor laws so that their enforcement would be entrusted to county and municipal authorities. The advocates of tie child labor stat utes oppose this plan on the theory that it would involve the principles in local politics and work their destruc ton.
 Today, which marks the beginning of the operation of the statutes. adVo- cates of the child labor bill have re- doubled their efforts in behalf of the Oates bill in order that the child la bor laws through indirection might not pe nullfied.

 EVER RECORDED IN
 NATIONS HISTORY
tContInued from Page one,

postoffice so far as other foreign moneys were concerned Lires were exchanged at par over the money order counters at the postoffice. This was due it was said, to ancient treaties which fixed in rigid terms the exchange values of money between the United States and it's asso- ciate powers in the issuance of postal or ders.
 The situation last year was directly the reverse. Exchange on sterling scared to about $7 at the time when American tour tsts stranded abroad were seeking funds
 Enormous profits to American import CTS owing bills abroad appeared to be in sight with the prevailing low exchange rates of today and not a little of the bills bought, 1t was said, was to dis count foreign bills. AmericaS bill for July to Great Britain for goods received at the port of New York totaled in round figures s13.000,000. American importers paying this bill today could have settled it for approximately s12.000,OOO pocket ing round million dollars profit,
 From France the United States im- ported during July articles worth $4, 4,6S2OOo through the port of New York. Approx- imately $900000 of this bill could be de- ducted today. due to exchange rates, be- cause the sum is payable in francs
 Items to the value of $2,791 ,0O0 came to New York from Italy in July. In paying this bill at today's rate of exchange American importers would have to take only $2.O0oo00 in round figures. to Wall street.
