Berlin, October 6.-The communica-
tion follows:
Army group of Prince Leopold: On
the front west of Lutsk yesterday the
enemy was quiet In this region we
have captured in the last few days
six officers, 622 men and eight ma
chine guns.
Between the Brody and the Zborow
railway lines leading to Lemberg there
was a revival of activity. After a
strong preparatory fire the enemy
made repeated and powerful attacks
near Wysocko, Duke and Zarkow. The
attack broke down under our fire.
Attacks made near Batkow on the
Sereth were repulsed by counter at
tack by German bSttalions. Three Of
ficers and 120 men remained prisoners
in our hands.
Army group of General Won Both
mer: The Russians resumed fighting on
both sides of the Zlota Lipa (south-
east of Lemberg). German, Austro-
Hungarian and Turkish troops by their
stubborn resistance on every occasion
broke the frequent storming attacks.
The enemy penetrated our lines at iso-
lated points, but was driven back at
once. In addition to inflicting severe
losses in killed or. wounded on the
enemy, we captured $40 men and eight
machine guns. We are absolute mas
ters of the position.
"Army group of Archduke Charles
Francis: The Russians failed in a
weak attack between Extraordinary
and Solotvina.

FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS
Gems for Which We Are Indebted to
Rev. Edward Young

Among the older English poets
sententious quotations from whom
have passed into the very warp and
woof of our daily speech, the first
place, of course, belongs to Shakes
peare. The second belongs to Pope
and the third not to Milton or Dry
den, but to the Rev. Edward Young,
whose Might Thoughts" lay on the
reading tables of the pious ancestors
of those of us who had them.
Young has been called Pope in
wooden stockings" Perhaps he
would be more accurately described
as Pope in cassock and bands.
To him is due the possession by
almost every one of the knowledge
that "Procrastination IL the thief OF

An analysis of the Florida child la
Dor laws, of special interest just now
because of the coming session of the
state legislature, and comparison of
the state law with the federal child
labor law has just been issued by DR..
William Alderman, of Pensacola,
chairman CT the Florida Child Labor
committee, who with the National
Child Labor committee has been con-
sidering improvements in the Florida
law to be introduced in this years
legislature. The federal law, accord
ing to this analysis, prohibits inter
state commerce in goods which are
the products of
"a any mill, factory, cannery, or
WORKSHOP in which children under IA
are employed;
(2) any mine or quarry in which
children under 16 are employed;
90 any mill, factory, cannery, OF
workshop in which children between
IA and 16 work more than s hours in
any one day or more than 6 days in
any one week; or
a. any mill, factory, cannery, oil
workshop in which children between
IA and 16 work between the hours Of
p. m. and a. m.
The Florida law differs from it il
these respects:
"a the 14-year limit does not apply
to canneries;
co There is no 16-year limit TO
mines and quarries;
60 children under 16 are allowed t,
work a 9-hour day, and 54-hour week
instead of the S-hour day and the As
hour week; and
ca the night work limits for chi
dren under 16 are p. m. to 5 a. II

Florida Child Labor Law Not
Up To Federal Standard

instead of z p. m. to a. m. as in the
federal law
In order to simplify the enforce
ment of both state and federal laws
and protect local manufacturers from
the danger of violating the federal
law because they happen to be living
up to state and not federal standards,
the National Child Labor committee
is urging all states that have not
standards equal to the federal ones to
amend their laws to correspond with
the federal one as soon as possible.
Therefore it is suggested that Florida
add canneries to the list of occupa-
lions prohibited to children under IA,
enact 16-year limit for mines and
quarries, enact the S-hour instead of
9-hour day for children between IA
and 16 in factories, mills, canneries
and workshops, and change the night
work prohibition for children between
IA and 16 to correspond with the fed
eral law. Then any Florida manufac-
turer, who lives up to his state law
will be sure that he can ship his
goods in interstate commerce in per-
feet safety because his state law and
the federal law are the same Florida
will be less affected by the federal
law than some other southern states
but her law is not quite up to the fed
eral standard as this analysis shows
Besides legislation for manufactur
ing establishments, and mines and
quarries. however, the Florida and
National Child Labor committees urge
better regulations of other strictly 10
cal problems. Instead of the present
educational requirement for work per
mits which says that the child mus
be able to read and write and do arith
metic to fractions, it is hoped tha
Florida will require every child wht
goes to work to have completed thu
9th grade which is the generally &C
cepted educational standard through
out the country. In this connection
the child labor committees call atten
ton to the fact that Florida is one O
the few states that have not yet adopt
led the statewide compulsory educa
ton law. Mississippi has no compu
sorry education law; Florida, Arkar
sas, South Carolina and Virginia hav
only local upton.

BLACK MOLES
They Are Always Danger Signs Call
ing for the Surgeon

At an operation performed less
than three months before his death
DR.. John B. Murphy called the at
tention of his students to black
mole on the patients face with this
remark:
"a black mole is always a sinister
lesion and one that is to be regard
ed with distrust, so that the nrst
thing l want to do is to remove 1t.
A black mole must be handled with
W holesome respect, for one dares
not taumatize it with impun1ty,
either by accident or design. }
therefore shall go wide of it into
healthy tissue when removing it. >
In the latest issue of the "Clinics
of John B. Murphy" Dr.. Broders
and MacCarty are quoted as saying
that black moles certainly predis-
pose to form of skin cancer called
ano-epithelioma," and as in
sisting that all pigmented areas OF
skin. such as warts and moles,
should be removed when these are
in locations which are or have been
subjected to injury.
The danger lies in what is known
by physicians as 'metastasis, when
is the shifting or transference OF a
diseased condition from one organ
to another. A mole is diseased
condition of the skin in one spot
and generally confined to that spot
but when an injury takes place near
by it often happens that malignant
cells migrate from the deeper parts
of the mole and take up their posi-
ton in the wound. where they
grow and spread and produce form
of cancer. A magnified section OF
a mole shows that the pigmented
cells extend sometimes quite deer
into the tissues below the skin. The
migration of cells seems to take
place by way of the lymphatics.
All cancer specialists agree that
mole or wart developing late in
life is to be regarded with so much
suspicion that the only safety lies
lin having it cut out.

Cold Storage For
Home Meat Supply
Costs SIS

(From Agricultural News Service
Bulletin University of Florida.)
Everybody knows how hard it is to
|cure meats in the South. A. P.
Spencer, district agent for the Uni
versity of Florida Extension Divi-
sion, calls attention to specifications
for cold storage house that will
eliminate the weather requirements
for curing meat. The specifications
are sent out by the States Relations
Service, Washington. The house
costs only SIS. The feed required to
hold fat hogs over several weeks
while you wait for cool weather
would cost as much as the house.
The plan mentioned is one that has
been used successfully by J. E. Nc
Intosh, Lauraville, Fla, for 10
years:
"Size of cold storage, by 10

Resources of Banks
Increase $7,4OO,O78
Since March 4, 1915

An examination of the reports re-
ceived in this office and from which
this statement was compiled, reveals a
most satisfactory condition throughout
the state, and indicates a rapid growth
of business during the past year, said
State Bank Examiner $. A, Sargent, to-
day.
"The total resources have increased
81, ,4O0,7S. while the net increase in
deposits amounts to approximately &c.
250000.00, the only decrease being
noted in the Postal Savings and other
Government deposits. -
Rediscounts with the Federal Reserve
Bank at San Francisco show an in
crease of $39, ,697.36 since the call of
March I, 1918, but decrease of about
$SO,O0O.00 since the statement Of Now
ember 10th. Other re-discOunts and
bills payable are a little high for this
time of the year, due to the fact that
many farmers are still holdi6g their
wheat crops for higher prices.
The statement shows rapid return
to normal conditions and indicates an
ability on the part OF the banks to
meet all legitimate demands that may
be made upon them, said Mr.. Sargent in
cumming up the statement which fol-
lows.
