STATE REGULATION OF
CHILD LABOR ANALYZED

| State regulation Of child labor in
local industries is not yet as thorough
as the federal regulation of industries
engaged in interstate commerce &C.
! cording to the annual report of the
general secretary of the National
Child Labor Committee, just publish
| ed In the quarterly Child Labor Bull
letin. Twenty eight states allow chill
dren to work at night in such estab-
l1shments; % states have no regula-
ton of street work by children, and
~ states have poor regulations; 23
states need night messenger laws; 26
states do not require medical examin-
alton of children for work permits; IL
states have no educational require
ments for work permits, and 80 states
have standards lower than the fifth
grade; one state has no compulsory
education law, and four states have
only local option laws. Therefore,
the 1,850,000 working children whose
status cannot be directly affected by
any kind Of federal regulation present
the major problem on which the eff
forts Of the Committee may now be
concentrated says Owen r. Lovejoy,
the general secretary, in his report.
Congress has forged the tools for an
aggressive campaign, and we have how
reached the stage where by taking
hold instead Of letting go, we may
hope to see the solution Of the prob

ganization ready for the Progressive

OF the report which show that the
membership was larger than ever in
1915, totalling 1926 persons, that in

culture, canneries, textile mills, tene-

states, that the Committees exhibits

Its newspaper publicity has reached
every state in the Union.
The Child Labor Bulletin, contain

an article on the enforcement of child
labor laws which suggests that the
mere passage of laws without the ma

the cooperation of local courts is
futile, a detailed discussion of the

CITY OF BAP AUME .
IN RUINS, FROM !. !.
ALLIES SHELLS

What the Prussian troops suffered
in the weeks Of the British offensive on
the west front is graphically told in
the diary Of an artillery officer, parts
of which are printed in the Cologne
Gazette.
"Is the great British offensive
over?" writes this Prussian, officer.
"Well, it is for me, at any rate for
the present. My battery has been
sent to the rear for a rest.
I am writing this in my clean, sun
ny room in that part Of Bapaume
which escaped much of the damage
during the tremendous British bonn
bardment Of the last few weeks. ~
mot so long ago our officers passed
a most enjoyable evening in the Ca
sine in Bapaume. Then it was a pref
ty large city, social and friendly, the
Inhabitants and soldiers mixing with
each other daily as if no war existed.
IT remember with much joy the
luncheon we had in the hotel Of The
Golden Glove in the Rue D'Arras.
and now all that remains Of it is
big hole in the ground.
1.-THE hitherto beautiful street is in
a terrible condition. The first shell
that struck it at the beginning of the
offensive exploded near the Court
House and demolished two houses and
broke every pane Of glass in the vi
cinity. The beautiful Gothic church
with it's wonderful stained glass win
dows, also presents a pathetic sight.
Not window is left in it. +N
''All the houses are locked, and the
city as as quiet as a tomb. The only
indication of life is the smoke issuing
from the chimneys.
"The inhabitants live in cellars, and
now and then a man or woman VEN
lures out during a lull in the firing.
What we suffered out there in the
trenches during those awful days and
nights words can scarcely describe.
For a great part of the time our
trenches were untenable because OF
the explosion Of weeping Shells
''This may seem laughable. but it is
true that there are various kinds of
gases, and those which we call weep
ing shells, emit a gas that brings tears
to the eyes Of every man.
"Such a shell had exploded few

a big hole in the earth. For days
afterward the gases from that shell
continued to rise from the ground.
Consequently, our men were shedding
tears most Of the slime. 1t was al
most unbearable, but we held on.
For some time we were without
ammunition, and we lay in our trench
es powerless to do anything, expecting
every minute that the enemy would
charge and annihilate us in our help
less condition. a
"At last heard the cry, The mu-
milton wagons are here and we gave a
shout Of joy. Within few minutes
three wagons were unloaded and our
guns were firing so fast that they be-
came red-hot and had to be cooled of
with water.

GOODNESS Of our ammunition drivers. II
appears that their wagons had diff
Guilty in making their. way through
the zone of fire. One was hit by shrap-
ned, disabling the rear wheels, an
other got stuck in a big shell hole du-
ring which one Of the horses was Sc
riously wounded. But despite all this
the drivers remained calm and collect
ed, and managed to deliver the ammU-
milton in time to save ourselves"

It is seldom you find a. young girl or
young man who has not some goal to
reach, some great aim he has dreams
of fulfilling. 1t Is that which tides
them over the little unpleasant fric-
ton Of everyday life. 1 met two very
charming girls the other day at a
matinee. One was very enthusiastic
over the play we were seeing. The
other was listless.
II have ambition to be a great &C
tress like that" whispered one to me.
Of the other, and prettier girl asked:
Would you like to, be an actress,
too?" mo, they live too strenuous a
life," she replied. s'What would you
like your future to, be?'' I queried,
wondering if her thoughts ran to ro-
nance. II never thought about the
future she confessed. II just live
from day to day, and don't borrow
any worry over what the future may
or may not bring me-" waiting pa

society of the opposite sex, so 1t is

for her. She must find life without
some aim stupid enough. She is only
one out of thousands of such girls. If
they are fortunate enough to possess
wealth, they may sail along TRANQUILITY.

She who is content with earning a
small salary, letting it go at that, year
out and year in, has it forced upon
her sooner or later that she has vast
ed her life in the slough of aim1ess-
ness. When she knew that she was
depending upon her own exertions, she
should have made herculean efforts to
rise above want, which would other
wise face her in her old ago.
Even the brainless squirrel, which
scampers over the green summer
lawns, could teach her a lesson. It
gathers up nuts and stores them for
the winter of its short life If it didn't
have the ambition to look ahead, what
would it do when the frost came and
there were no nuts to store away?
While every girl is not gifted to be an
actress, great musician, artist or
author, each one has some sphere she
is particularly fitted to shine in. Men
know a thing or two when they steer
clear Of the girl who has no ambition,
an old philosopher once said. Such a.
girl is milestone around an ambi-
t1ous mans neck, and keeps a. poor
man plodding all the rest Of his life.
1t is the duty of every family to In

that each one has his or her aim in

fever spells and I use soda water
