NIGHT WORK FOR
WOMEN UNLAWFUL
New York Court Upholds Law
Forbidding Night Work
In Factories.

ALBANY, April 9.-The court Of
appeals has upheld the constitutional
ity Of the law passed in 1913 prohibit
ing work by women In factories be-
tween the hours Of 10 p. IN. and G
g. m. The opinion was written by
Judge Hiscock.
TO test the constitutionality of the
law, the Charles schweinler Press, a
corporation, New York city, employ
ed May Casual and other women dur
ing the prohibited hours in it's print
ing house and bookbindery. It was
convicted Of violation of the labor
law. The entire court concurred in
Judge Hiscock's opinion. Judge His
cock, in part, said:
1--WE are presented with the issue
whether it can be said that night work
by women in factories is So generally
and substantially injurious to their
health that the legislature was justi-
fled by public considerations in pre-
venting the evil by forbidding the
cause.
Work Is Arluous.
I'm the determination Of this ques>
ton it will be well first to SUNNI arize
some of tho facts and reasons which
induced the legislation, and second, to
test the sufficiency of these as basis
for the statute by certain principles
Of law applicable to such case.
J. "There are certain fundamental
facts involved in the decision of the
Question which are beyond any dis
pute. The statute forbids night work
simply in factories. We know as a
matter of common observation that
such labor is generally performed in
doors and that under average condi-
tons and surroundings existing In fac
tories even when performed in the
daytime it is ordinarily arduous and
exacting.
impairment caused by exhaustion
or even ordinary WEAKNESS must be
repaired by normal and refreshing
sleep and rest, if health and efficiency
are to be preserved.
Night Work Unnatural.
The natural and common order of
work and rest is that the former shall
be for the most part performed dur
ing the hours of the day and the lat
ter enjoyed during the night. -,
However confident a large number
of people may be that in many fields,
including that Of the administrator
OF government, woman is the full
equal Of man, no one doubts that IS
| regards physical strength and endur-
| ance she is inferior and that her
health in the field Of labor must be
specially guarded by the state il It
is to be preserved, and if she is to con-
tinue successfully and healthfully to
discharge those peculiar duties which
nature has imposed upon her."

CLEAN UP-PAINT UP

to be lasting, we must also paint up. "
And not the outside only, but the
inside of the house as WE'LL. People
are too prone to forget that while ma
ture will, to a great extent, take care
of health out-of- doors, man, who in
vented indoors, must look after him
self there. 1t is possible to make clean
the outside of the cup, while the in
side brims with poison. Paint is a
most efficient and pleasing disinfec-
tant for the interior.
We heartily commend full cooper
alton and support from the trade, for
this annual Cleanup and Paint-Up
Campaign; not alone nor chiefly be-
cause it is calculated to increase the
sale Of paints and varnishes, but pri-
marily because it is social, civic and
essentially proper. It inculcates all
the social and civic virtues. It con-
tributes to local pride and self-re-
spect. It makes towns better because
cleaner. It makes citizens happier,
because healthier. It has a reflex ac-
ton on public morals, manners and
ideals. 1t gets people working to-
gether for a common cause, and that
cause eminently good and satisfying.
It keeps people alive, both physically
and mentally. It is decidedly a good
thing-'push it along!'-Drugs, Oils
and Paints.

carelessly in the treatment of those
whom society has imprisoned.''
The prison hospital is referred to
in these singing terms:

"A disgrace to the state and breed

classed as bad work." meaning work

culosis have been "severly whipped -
The men were dashed from $50 to
200 times, the women fifty times. The
committee states that few Of the In
mates working in the factories have
escaped this punishment. Added to
this is the horrors of the insane ward,
in one Of the prisons wings, where
hundreds Of prisoners, compelled to
work at their tasks ten hours q day
or be punished, are kept awake nights

BEER OR NO BEER"
DEBATE AT HARVARD

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April o.
The question Of beer or no beer at
Harvard was fought to a standstill at
the Forum meeting when the $50 men
present split evenly on the question.
The question wassworded:
Resolved, That beer shall not be
served at class functions"
It was argued from every angle.
J. D. Taylor said that Dr. Eliot, presi-
dent emeritus. told him if he had to
begin life over again he wouldn't
touch alcohol. In reply Clifford Far
rington pointed out that at the sopho-
more banquet last year President
Lowell sat all through the festivities
with bottle of beer before him, q
long English pipe in; his mouth and
happy smile on his face. This, the
speaker asserted, was as good back
ing for beer as anything the ants
could show to the contrary.

TO REGULATE 'J|T 1T:
Commissioner Hicken Would Pro.
vide Routes for Buses
to Follow,

An ordinance to regulate operation
of jitney buses in Duluth is being
prepared by Harvey Clapp, city at
torney, at the instance of W. A. Hic-
ken, commissioner of public safety.
Provision will be made in the Or
dinance for routes to be followed by
the BUSES and eurety bonds Of own
ers to protect the public in case of
accidents Qccasioning personal injury
claims. A bond Of between $4,000
and $4,000 will be required.
The ordinance also is to contain
provisions against overcrowding Of
jitney BUSES and binding owners to
take out special licenses and agree
to observe traffic laws, with VIOLA
ton of these canceling licenses
Officials contend that the. public
has no protection at present in case
of accidents on jitney buses. Own
ers, it Is claimed in many cases have
insufficient. resources to pay injury
claims, which makes a bond neces-
sary.
Clapp has written to other cities
having jitney busses to obtain copies
Of regulations in force or contem-
plated. No action will be taken to-
ward local regulation until the jit-
ney bus bill before the Minnesota
legislature is acted upon.

In the spring the cheerful robin builds
himself another nest;
In the spring the wanton lapwing gets
himself another crest;
In the spring a livelier iris changes
on the FURNISHED dove;
In the spring a. y0ung mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of
love.
To young and old, throughout ami
mate nature, the spring brings resur-
rection, regeneration, rejuvenescence
"a desire for change and improve
ment; restless impulse to do some-
thing.
Very wisely, with a psychological
opportuneness startling in it's appro-
priateness, some three years ago
somebody in Texas or in Timbuctoo
suggested that the spring would be a
good season for a national cleanup
Mr.. Allen w. Clark, of st. Louis,
promptly seconded the idea and
added, why not also a national
paint-up?" And so the thing was
started.
1t spread like wild-fire Last year
over two thousand small and medium
sized towns and two hundred .consd-
cradle cities took part in the move
ment, and this year, though winter is
still officially with US, the list is al
ready doubled, and the governors Of
five states have issued proclamation
for a Cleanup and Paint-Up Week.
The season selected is so appropri-
ate and the purpose 50 natural that
everybody that is not mentally senile
or physically moribund-everybo body,
in short, that is in condition to feel
the call of spring, accepts the idea
without argument or persuasion, just
because, once stated, it is automatic.
. l. During the winter, in the house, in
the yard and in the street, trash accu-
mulates under an embargo of snow
and ice. With this visible debris also
accumulate the pestiferous invisible
organisms that, in their struggle for
existence, work incalculable harm to
human health and happiness. Fresh
air and sunshine do a great deal to
defeat their activities, but they are
persistent, long-lived and patient. If
left undisturbed they can defer their
attack to a more convenient season.
Soap and water, disinfectants white
wash and paint are the materials
which will cut short their career So

shall "clean up''-if we wish the effect
