welfare laws OF the State. At the

the Standardization OF childrens

convention.
COdification Work.
Meanwhile also several state COM
missions have been appointed to pre-
pare the state laws affecting chit
dren in their respective states for
codincation and the work OF our
reference index has already heen or
use to the Missouri commission. The
Maryland commission has also
turned to us for information about
the child welfare laws OF Maryland.
SO you may see how necessary has
become the compilation OF such n
reference index as the bureau Is now
enRa Hed in preparing"
How many States have child labor
laws al present. the interviewer
asked Miss Sumner.
'ractically all have child labor
laws OF a sort except New Mexico.
but New Mexico has, a compulsory
education law. such laws. when
properly enforced. amount to prac-
tically the same thing as child labor
laws. The chief objection to them
is. however. that they do not regu-
late what older children may do.
Nullify Each Other.
There are some States where the
child labor and compulsory educa-
ton laws overlap and have the ef-
other. All laws must Mt to protect,
you see. There are States where n
child Is not required to go to school
after he Is fourteen and Is not al
lowed to 90 to work Now. In in
stances where child has no desire
to go TO school after the legal are
there II year OF his life wasted
unless he is able to secure employ
ment unlawfully. This. of course.
leads to a great deal Of Illegal en-
ployment. This Is just one illustra-
ton OF the necessity OF making laws
ut. particularly the laws regarding
children.
We've done a great deal Of field
study upon these problems. laying
special stress uDon the methods OF
administering the laws and the sue
cess OF their operation. The first
study OF this kind compiled by the
bureau was issued In March. 1915.

I'm HE effective value Of a

which It can be enforced" says Miss
Julia Lathrop. chief Of the Children's
Bureau. in the Introduction to one Of
its publications.
''All child welfare laws must ft.
not overlap or contradict each 9TH

l.. Sumner. who was recentlv ap-
pointed assistan. chief OF the bu-
reau.
Recognizing the Importance OF a
clear statement of the laws now In
existence as preliminary to secur-
ing complete and harmonious pro-
visions. the Childrcn's Bureau Is pre-
pairing a reference index to all'leg-
lslation affecting children. This work
Is NInder the direct supervision OF
Miss sumner. who was head OF the
when the reference index was start
ed.
Much interest in Miss Sumner
has heen evinced since her recent
appointment as assistant chief of the
children's Bureau. She was born
In Sheboygan. Wis. and was grad
uated from Wellesley College. later
receiving the degree OF Ph. d. from
the University OF Wisconsin. She
has been special Investigator OF equal

League and collaboration for the
American Bureau OF Industrial Re-
search. She IL the author OF
number OF books dealing with eco
monte problems. and has been nsso-
ciated with the Children's Bureau
since 1918 as industrial expert.

in Its relation to child labor. and

very large and comprehensive
affair. ard was not begun

text of all the child labor laws In
the United States and a tabular
analysis OF their provisions. This
compilation is now In press. and We
believe 1t Ia going to meet genuine
need among State officials and social
workers. as II includes the%statutes
of 1915 and gives the facts for all the
States in form for easy reference.

The fact is shown from day 10 day
that on every price recession demand
springs up for both cash and future
wheat. There is resting orders held
in the market for large additional
amounts OF this grain. Some Of them
are on foreign account and some are
on domestic accounts. The wheat
supply in the country Is smaller than
generally known and the most recent
report on the holdings in Kansas show
that only about l5.2 per cent OF last
years crop was in the hands OF farm
ers in that state Feb y. This calls
for about 27.500.00 bushels.
Cash sales Of wheat at Chicago were
10000 bushels, OF corn $4,000 bush
els and of oats $4,000 bushels. or

porters OF 10000 bushels wheat 240.-
coo bushels corn and 2O5. 600 bushels
oats The seabord reported 10000
bushels wheat and 100000 BUSH

Corn and oats were both higher
and there was a strong market There
was a better demand for cash corn and
cats were strong largely In sympathy
with corn, coupled with heavy takin2s
by exporters. Decreasing receipts
were shown in both grains.
There was heavy selling OF hog
products which was led by packers.
This discouraged holders and caused
a weak closing at inside prices. May

there was some buying on the strengtn

the selling. Cash trade was slow.
