Are working papers given child re-
CARELESS Of the prospect OF employ
ment? If SO, what is done to keep
a line on those who do and those who
do not get work? Can a working card
be used to thwart truant officers? Do
the working papers issued tally with
the children actually at work 4.
Questions Designed to Answer.
These are some of the questions that
the children's bureau studies are de-
signed to answer.
ii In Connecticut a child cannot so to
work until he is fourteen years old,
and until sixteen cannot work unless
he has an employment certificate. No
child can get q certificate and stay
out of school unless he has job. IL
he quits work his employer must mo-
tify the state board of education, and
before he can go to work again per-
manently he must secure fresh cer-
tificate.
The most striking feature of the
Connecticut system of issuing work
ing papers is that the state board of
education. and before he can so to
work again permanently he must Sc
cure a fresh certificate.
The most striking feature of the
ing papers is that the state board of
education controls its enforcement
and dovetails the working of the com
pulsory education law with the child
labor law. Practically every step is
under the direct supervision of the
state board of education. Agents of
the state board travel from town to
town. issuing working papers, inspect
ing shops for violations of the ;ceritf-
cate law, and visiting in their homes
children who have left their jobs
Undertaken in Other States.
Studies similar to the one in Con-
necticut are being undertaken in other
states, and it is believed that by dis
covering the strong and weak fea-
lures of various systems in use, some
standard will be reached of the best
methods for protecting children at
work.
This inquiry is under the direction
Of Miss Helen L. Sumner, in charge of
the industrial division of the chill
dren's bureau.

chanting scenes offorded by the Ber-
muda Islands, where it was staged,
with its coral reefs, submarine grot-
tos, semi-tropic yerdure and the vast
expanse of the wide Atiantic; the
company of over 200 actors, headed
BY Miss Kellerman, who, aside from
her marvellous Aquatic reats which
she has many opportunities to dis
play in this drama, proves that she
is also a splendid actress, a graceful
dancer, an expert swordsWoman, and
mistress of hundred arts which con-
tribute to the success of the produc-
ton, all these factors help to make
"Neptune's Daughter" a production
to be watched with delight and never
to be forgotten. The program for to-
day is most delightful one. Miss
Firmly stevens, niece or Mrs. Fiske

BIG PHOTO DRAMAS
TONlGHT'S LEADERS

9 The Carpet Of Bagdad,.. Harold
MacGratll's masterpiece in picturized
form, and .Mistree Nell" six reel
photo-play with Mary Pickford, the
highest salaried motion picture artist
in the world, in the title role, will be
a double feature of the movie" pro-
gram at Keeney's tonight. With these
two big attractions for leaders the
program should make a special APP
peal to theater -goers and should
draw capacity house.
The MacGrath picture is Selig-
Red Seal play In five parts. II is
like page torn from The Arabian
Nights and one OF the most thrill
ing romances ever produced before
the camera. 1t is descriptive of the
adventures of Americans who steal
a sacred carpet from an Egyptienne
temple The scenes. are laid In Cairo
and New York. Great attention was
paid to detail in producing this piece
and the results are remarkable.
Mistress Nell'' was shown last
night before a large audience. I
was greatly enjoyed and judging from
the comment about the city today,
his screen drama in itself will draw
large audience to the theater to-
night. The Pathe weekly and some
good comedy reels will also be IN
the Keeneyscope bill.
The plan of the management to
give the patrons of the playhouse
the big photo-dramas instead Of single
.sreelers'' is evidently meeting with
general approval. a fact attested to
/ by the large audiences. The Big
Four combine and the Famous Play
ers company will make regular coa-
tributions to the Keeney program
during the summer and the patrons
are assured OF movie show, Sc
cond to none.
Besides there will be program Of
high class vaudeville every day. This
week the Colonial trio, talented mus
icians, are at the top of the bill. SIp-
porting this act are Jack Davis and

Spccial Correspondent Of The Washington Herald.
New York, Dec. lc-Mr. Hudson Ma kim
is out with a Maxim gun after Mr.. Will
lam Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Maxim be-
lieves in preparedness and resents Mr..
Bryan's oratory directed against it. Mr..
Bryan can talk very effectively and Mr..
Maxim can write very forcefully. It's
pretty fight.
Mr.. Maxim is celebrated for being an
inventor and having the most striking
head of pompadour white hair and St.
Jerome whiskers to be seen anywhere
in North America Even Senator Ham
Lewis's far-famed red whiskers pale in
comparison. His brother. Sir Hiram
Maxim. Is equally famed as an inventor
and is member of the famous English
shipbuilding and gunmaking firm of VIC
ker s. Maxim & Co. Both the Maxims
were born in Maine. but Hiram became
an English citizen and was knighted.
Their brotherly affection is more than
strained. It's badly bent They are
about as affcctionate as two lighting
cocks.

1T has been said of Mr.. Bryan that
he never argues" said Mr.. Maxim. ''he
merely declaims The best argument can
do is to carry conviction and win con-
verts. Florid defamation can win ten
converts without argument or reason to
every one that can be won by logic.
Mr.. Bryan knows this. He knows that
merely for the purpose OF convincing
most of his hearers it is not necessary
either to be logical or to adhere to facts.
THE European war was not brought
on because of preparedness, but because
of the lack of preparedness on the part
of the entente powers. England was
pathehtically unprepared. So was Russia
Had the entente powers been prepared
there would have been no war.
The European powers are not exhaust
ing themselves with respect to what most
concerns us-and that is war potentiality
they are becoming stronger every day.
They may he poorer after the war, but
they will be stronger. At the end of the
civil war. the North was much poorer,
but infinitely stronger. Financial ex-
haustion or economic exhaustion does not
necessarily mean military exhaustion.
Economic weakness constitutes a very
strong inducement to utilize military
prowess. The poverty of the European
nations makes their military powers all
the more dangerous to us.

TTELEN awoke with the troubled
consciousness that Carrie had
- stayed over night. Without in
dulging in her usual relapsing nap
shiveringly she forced herself out oi
bed.
She must see about breakfast. Was
there any cocoa? Carrie never drank
coffee. And Warren must get up
They must both hurry and dress SO
Carrie could have the bathroom.
"Eh? What's the matter with you
It's only y" growled Warren in
sleepy protest.
81 know, dear, but Carries here!
Do get up so you'll be out of the
bathroom"
But Warren had rolled over, drawn
closer the covers and snuggled down
for another nap.
Turning on her bath. Helen ran out
to the dining-room where Anna was
setting the table.
"No, that cloth won't do-Mr. Cur
It's sister is here Have VIC any cocoa
Well, you'll have to make some-use
the top of the milk And don't fry
the eggs-have them poachcd. Don't
make the toast until the last minute.
There's only one grapefruit,
ma'am."
In the refrigerator a solitary yellow
rind CLEANED behind the ice. For a
moment Helen stared at it in dismay.
Then excitedly:
Scoop it out and chop it up with
this apple! Serve it in those tall
stemmed glasses. Where's that bot
tie of maraschino cherries? Put a
couple of those on top"
A few more hurried directions and
she ran back to the now brimming
again aroused Warren.
Dear, you MUST get up! Csrrie1l
want to get in the bathroom"
PLENTY of time" struggling off her
importuning hand.
mo, there isn't-it takes you so
long to shave" Then, eagerly,
Couldn't you shave in here this
morning.?
"No, Couldn't" belligerently,
fiinging off the bedclothcs and sit
ting up. That's a rotten light to
shave BY"
Having routed him out. Helen now
tiptoed to her room, which was also
used as a guest room. The door was
ajar, and Carrie, In kimono and
boudoir cap, was searching for some
thing, her face flushed with annoy
ancc. -. '--

Helen was properly solieitous.
"Oh, no. I've just mislaid my
hair net. I'm sure I left it right here
on the dresser last nj ght."
"A hair net! Oh, l have several"
taking a box from the top drawer.
mo, | can't wear that kind" un-
graciously. Mine was cap net with
a rubber. I'm positive laid it right
here"
Carrie, whose annoyance was out
of all proportion to the loss of hair

at Helen's presence.
Assuring her that Anna would find
the net when she busted. Helen hur-
ried out to straightcn the bathroom
after Warren's slashing ablutions.
