GOVERNMENT ADOPTS
STRINGENT RULES
Those Returning From Infected Areas
After August % Will Be IsoIat-
ed For ID Days.

DIR. John 5. Fulton. Maryland S health
officer, who attended the conference at
Washington and was the chairman of
the committee named to adopt a plan
of procedure in fighting infantile para
lysis, made the announcement Sunday
that after August % all children COM
ing to Maryland from infected areas
will be isolated for IA days and kept
under observation. This was decided
upon to safe guard the state against
the disease.
The public health service will assume
control of the situation in all of the
states, and government official will be
sent to each and he alone is authorized
to issue permits free of charge. In
this connection DR.. Fulton said:
If you have any friends with child.
rem who are spending their vacations
along the coast of New Jersey or in
any other place where the disease is
prevalent. write them TO come home
before the oath instant with their child
rem. Let every one know that after
that date all children brought into the
state will go under daily inspection
for two weeks"
The report of the committee to the
conference, which was adopted, is an
exhaustive one. 1t calls upon the United
States public health service to take
whatever steps are necessary to pre-
vent the interstate spread of the dis
ease. When case is discovered the
infected area is to be investigated and
before persons under 16 years of age
are removed therefrom the state health
officer must be notified of the state of
destination.
Other regulations adopted follows:
Permits to travel shall be void unless
the journey shall begin within "a hours.
Single permits shall not be issued for
several persons except for family, or
household goods coming from the same
domicie.
The collection of fees by health Of
ticials from applicants for permits,
whether resident OF nonresident, should
not be permitted.
The certificates of private physicians
will not alone be sufficient basis for
the issue of permit to travel. Per
mits for interstate travel will be based
on medical inspection.
Permits for interstate travel should
be signed by an officer, Of the United
States public health officer, or by any
officer authorized by the state health
authority.
Children having clean bill of health
must be kept under observation two
weeks and those having the disease
must be isolated six weeks. Funerals
In case of death must be strictly private.
Where the disease is prevalent child
rem must be prohibited from assembling
in public places, and schools must not
be opened without medical supervision
by health authority.
A general educational campaign for
cleanliness and sanitation is directed.
Agents of common carriers should be
prohibited from selling tickets for
children unless they have health per-
mits.

Road Oiling.

The work of oiling the State high
way from Oakland north to the concrete
road near Hoyes was begun yesterday
morning when an immense tank truck
carried the first load out of town. The
capacity of the truck is sufficient to oil
a mile of the road and it is thought that
the work will be completed within the
next two weeks. In the meantime,
however, autoists will give the State
road wide berth.

CH|lO LABOR BILL

Senate Hears Lucid Explanation OF
Provisions of Important Measure
BY Senator Robinson.
NO CHILD UNDER FOURTEEN
FOR INDUSTRIAL EMPLOYMENT
Product of Such Labor May Not Be
Handled In Interstate Commerce.
Reasonable Hours For Older Chill
dren Required.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The child
labor bill was made the diminished
business OF the Senate this afternoon,
1t will be kept constantly before the
Senate until finally acted upon.
Senator Robinson, OF Arkansas. In
charge Of the measure, made brief
speech by way of explaining its pro-
visions. He concluded with strong
argument supporting the constitu-
tionality Of the proposed act,
Senator Robinson said:
The Senate substitute for the
House bill greatly simplifies the law
as TO the practicability of its enforce
ment bv forbidding the shipment in
inter state commerce of the products
of any mine quarry cannery. work
shop. factory or other manufacturing
esta blishment. II, within thirty days
prior to the removal OF such product
from the mine quarry cannery, work
shop. factory or other manufacturing
establishment, child labor, prescribed
by both bills, has been employed in
the producing establishment. The
limitation as to age and hours In both
bills are the same. In mines and
ouarries, children under sixteen years.
an din workshops. canneries and fac
tories, children under fourteen are ex-
cluded. Children between fourteen
and sixteen may work eight hours a
day. and six days In any one week.
The Senate substitute relieves deal
ers in manufactured products out
side the State OF production from any
liability, but in order to prevent manu-
facturers in the State Of production
from evading the law. it requires deal
ers to obtain guarantees from the
manufacturer that the products are
not made in violation of the child
labor law. Manufacturers who. in
good faith, desire to obey the law.
under the Senate substitute may pro-
tect themselves by ob.Sining certifi-
Gates as the age of children from the
parents or guardians as prescribed by
