AS he turned into the alley of Calvert

took up post across the alley from
the Brown tenement, where he waited
ten or fifteen minutes.

boys life; he approved of Francis
friendship for her and of the common
interests that drew them together. He
wanted his boy TO be both democratic
and chivalrous. Francis was the apple
of his eye.
John Willett had a soft heart
wherever suffering was concerned Il
pleased him to see his boy display
signs of similar tenderness. II the
Galahad knights was Francis idea.
John Willetts pocketbook was an es-
sential of its success; for the Glitter
chure" and incidental expenses more
than ate up the twenty fees.
Willett was delighted to help; for he
was pretty well-todo and prided him
self that he had never been selfish with
his money, from the first day he had
ever earned dollar.
There was now but one cloud upon
the immediate horizon Of the Brown
family This cloud would grow bigger
for the rest of the three months OF
Lem Browns stay in the workhouse,
and then goodness knew what would
happen. Mrs. Brown and Mary Alice
contemplated the possibilities with
dread.
Men are not reformed in jails. Lem
would emerge sober. but with the de-
termination to remedy that undesired
condition at the first opportunity. He
would have no job; even If he kept
sober for while, he would be a bur-
den upon the family. That he should
keep away from drink more than a
very few days was inconceivable
The two-room tenement in the house
off Calvert street was almost cozy
now. 1t was home, clean and warm.
The Browns ate quite regularly; little
Dick was fat and rosy. Always there
was an atmosphere of good cheer and
comfort The thought gripped them
What would Lem Brown do to it all?
Sam Thomas came as usual, and one
day he preached the subject. Il hate

pretty big town. You could go clear
way over on the East side. Your rent

but 1t is this way
The baby sits In chair by the table watching
mother and the other children work The baby
stretches out its hands, grabbing petal or leaf
To satisfy his desire the mother gives the baby
few petals, showing him how to pull them apart.
At three or four the child is already an efficient
worker, able to earn about ten cents day.
Here are some of the facts:
A mother and two. daughters living and work

must be kept burning all day in order that they

They receive seven cents for one dozen wreaths,
and can earn 1920 every Is days.
A frail, delicate mother of five children sits at
table in their two-room fiat from morning until
late at night putting artificial berries stems.
She earns from ten to fifteen cents day.
In four-room fiat, where three children have
died of tuberculosis and two others suffering
from it. mother and an eleven-year-old girl made
artificial roses at Is cents gross.
In one home on a Saturday morning four chill
dren, ten. nine, six and four years old were found
sitting by table the one window making
cherries. They had been there since six o'clock in
the morning, and worked each day until eight
o'clock at night
No child above four or five is considered too
young to work. The hours for all, whether chill
dren or adults, determined not by law, not by
physical welfare, but by the amount of work the
factory gives out to be done. If there is extra
amount of work the whole family work from half
past five in the morning until ten eleven at
night, and sometimes even until enc or two o'clock
in the morning stopping only long enough to eat

poor mans reason gave way. He was taken to an
insane asylum, and Tony, not being able to keep
up his fathers business. took to selling flowers as
his trade.

Owners Of flower factories find it more profitable
to have work done In the tenements by women and
children The flower factories give out parts OF
fowers-petals, leaves, and stems-to be made up
into whole flowers and wreaths by the workers in
their homes. Usually the Oldest child in the fam
lily calls for these parts. which she carries home in
a huge pasteboard box When the flowers are done
she brings them back to the factory and the boss
pays her for the work Ess
The petals, which usually come from the factory
in lunches must be separated and then pasted to-
gether with the leaves and stems. Sometimes there
are as many as nine pieces which must be Joined
before the flowers are ready to be returned to the
factory. Buds are made by tying pieces of silk
over round ball of cotton The work. though
slow and tedious, is not hard and be done with
found busily working around table in the kitchen
or living room FASTING and twisting and punching
the gayly colored flowers, which sometimes give the
only bright note to otherwise desperately dingy
home.
Worst Paid Work
The price paid for the work is perhaps the low
est in any trade. Prices vary from two cents q
gross for pasting leaves on stems to Sf40 gross
for making flower wreaths One girl of fifteen,
who had trouble with her spine, was found at work
putting berries on the ends of stems and receiving
vestgator that she made usually ten cents a day.
But when my little sister helps me-" she added.
Il can make fifteen cents day"
1t is these conditions that the Consumers league
is striving to abolish. And the activities OF the
Consumers league not limited to the flower In
dustry. The members of the league are working
hard to improve conditions In other occupations in
which women and young children are employed
and have been doing great work in educating the
people on the dangers of woman and child labor
under unsanitary conditions.
BY pointing out the dangers to the consumer
through goods made In dark and airless homes
where scarlet fever and other contagious diseases
found to exist the leaders of the league have
already accomplished many good results. But
there is much work to be DONE Few realize how

SINKING OF SHIPS SEND COTTON DOWN Market Slumped on News of Sinking British and Jap
 anese Vessels

New Orleans. January 3-Except for few minutes during the opening call the cotton market here today stood at the decline under selling resulting from the sinking of ships in foreign waters. Fear of fresh international complications caused the liquidation of considerable long cotton and stimulated short selling. At the lowest the most active months were 16 to F points under last weeks final quota tions. After the early slump the market displayed a steady undertone and made almost a full recovery. The close was unchanged to points down, compared with Fridays close.
 A much better Liverpool market than due started buying on the opening call on which the near months rose 3 to points. Later months would have shared in the improvement but for reports that Brit ish vessel had been sunk with lols or life. A little later came reports of disaster to another British steamer and Japanese freighter. Under this news the, market slumped 20 to 23 points, on the most ac- tive months, from the high levels estab- lished on the opening call.
 Little else but the marine losses and their effect on international politics was discussed on the floor during the day
