GREAT TRAMP YEAR
Kansas a Highway for ''Bo's" on Way
to Winter Quarters.

Kansas at this season of the year is
great highway for the nations
tramps, according to railway men,
who assert that since the first. signs
of cool weather hundreds of them
have passed through the state on their
way to winter quarters.
During the last few weeks groups
of wanderers might have been seen
along the line of almost any of the
railroads in the state, sleeping beside
the bonfires built by the section hands.
These fire, built for the purpose of
destroying defective ties removed from
the roadbeds. usually burn for several
hours, attracting numbers of men who
recline in uneasy slumber beside the
blazing embers.
Because of it's network of railroads,
it is said that Kansas always has
large number of such men passing
through in the early autumn. Then.
too, Paul Mcbride, the state labor
commissioner, asserts that many of
the men, attracted here by the har-
vest, are just beginning to leave, hav-
ing found other temporary employ
ment after the crop has been har-
vested.
Most of the wanderers are on their
way to the larger cities of the coun-
try where they can live in cheap
lodging houses at a minimum of ex-
pense through the winter, only to take
to the road again when construction
work opens in the spring.

LABOR OF
WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Brussels, April 49, Correspondence
of the Associated Pres) Won
Bissing, German governor of Belgium,
has completed and put into effect a
number of rules controlling the labor
of women and children. Theh absence
of so many men at the front has led
to the constant danger that the women
in attempting totake their places will
do themselves harm by overworking.
The new rules permit children be-
tween the ages of IA and 16, and
women and children between 16 and
u, to work not longert han II hours
a day. There must be a rest period
of at least an hour and a-half, and
children under IA years old are not
permitted to work at all.
Women, regardless of agge, and chill
dren are not allowed to work in
mines, quarTies, pits and the like.
Night work is forbidden entirely to
women. The maximum period of en-
ployment daily applies in households
as well as in factories, work shops
and restaurants.
