CHILD LABOR CAMPAIGN
PROGRESSES DESPITE
The WAR
According TO Annual Report Of
Owen R. Loyeioy, Just
Made Public.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-1n spite Of
tho war and hard times the campaign
against child labor made progress In
this country last year. according TO
the annual report Of Owen R. Love-
10y. general secretary Of the National
Child Labor COMMITTEE, just published
In: the quarterly Child Labor Bulletin.
Twenty states legislated against child
labor last year. while only five states
defeated attempts to improve their
laws. and one passed distinctly re-,
dictionary. act. Investigations were,
carried on by the National Child La,
Dor Committe in eighteen states and;
members Of the committees staff were
present at the legislative sessions of
nineteen states. The committees .ex-
hibits were shown in forty-nine cities
In twenty-one states. # 4. a b,4-.s
All these activities were made pos
sible by the. fact that rseventy-seyen
per cent Of, the members Of the COM,
mittee renewed their subscriptions
and almost 1000 new members were
secured. As Mr.. Loyejoy puts It. "the
persistence OF our continuing mem
bers at a time when other, calls are
urgent, and their determination to, see
a solution of this problem, are the
most gratifying contribution to the
SUCCESS Of our work" s
The Child Labor Bulletin calls at-
tention, to the fact that the. federal
child labor bill Is the Chief interest OF
the committee this year and urges &c

Chinese Costumes Picked by
Pretty California Girl as
Universal Garb of Future

standard dress; and in fact, like tho
coming Of dawn in the Alps, will go
echoing from peak to peak, from coun-
try to country. That tho dawn OF
this day is ut hand is the opinion OF
Miss Davis. That the zone dress" is
none other than the Chinese woman's
garb in her unqualified declaration.
Better Than the Simple Black.
Recently the question Of uniform
dress for women was taken up in war
torn England. The sponsors OF the
movement decreed that all women, be
they high or lowly. dress in plain
black, thus saving a considerable
amount on clothes. The money thus
saved to be devoted to the care of
war widows and orphans.
Now that the Chinese custom OF
dress has caused a stir in the United
States 1t is predicted that the sisters
across the pond" will let the simple
black give way to tho ancient Chinese
costume. cs
Why not /" asks Merle Davis. And
why not" echoes from many women.
However, Merle is one Of the path
blazers for tho new toys.
/ This pretty miss declares that the
Chinese costume Is the only sensible
garb for comfort, and she sounds q
word OF advice to girls Of California
to sing the swan song Of corsets,
petticoats and other slaveries, except
for the most formal occasions. Merle
herself thinks nothing Of taking q
jaunt in a motor car about the city
dressed-if you please-in Chinese bib
and tucker. j.! 81.
Finds Comfort In Her Costume.
People can talk all they want about
the so-called eccentricity Of Chinese
Clothes" said Miss Davis, "but II wo-
men realized the comfort derive
from wearing suits Of this kind they,
too. would become disciples OF the
waistless blouse and the petticoatless
trouserettes. Why. It takes but jiffy
to Jump into the outfit after my morn
ing bath: and then Il ia 50 fne to 60

After giving this explanation Merle
became quite silent. She was In deep
