ITO LET CONTRACTS
FOR BATTLESH|PS

Washington, Oct. 24.-Each of
the four new battlecruisers, bids for
which will be opened at the Navy
Department December 6, will be $50
feet in length, or 100 feet longer
than the worlds tallest building
the Woolworth-is high, it was
learned today. The cruisers will dis
place $4,000 tons each, and will be
capable of speed of from so to 35
knots an hour. Each will cost not
more than s16,500,O0O, under the
terms of the new naval appropria-
ton. Armor and armament will add
another 100000 apiece. They
will be equipped with and 14-inch
guns. Every effort is being made to
hasten the construction of these ves-
sells. Bids already are in for por-
ton of the armament. The new bat.
tleships, bids for four of which will
be opened tomorrow, will each dis
place $4,000 tons, and will be 624
feet long. They will mount 16-inch
guns. The new cruisers, therefor,
will be more than 200 feet longer
than the newest battleships of the
American navy. Their extreme
length, it is said, is necessary to pro-
vide room for the very powerful ma
chinery, necessary to propel the yes
sci at high speed. According to
the best information of American
naval designers, the new American
cruisers will be the most powerful

THE ARMORED TANKS
ARE NOTHING new

London, Oct. 12.-Letter to the
Freeman-Tribune from Hal O'Flah-
erty, United Press Correspondent:
The armored cars or tanks as they
are called, which walk through
|stone walls and over trenches, are
far from being a new idea in war;
fare. way back in 1854, an inven-
tor named James Cowen, construct
ed tank" similar to those now in
use on the British front, except that
it was propelled by steam instead of
gasoline. Cowen described hts in
vention as LAND and sea locomo-
tive steam ram and battery" 1t was
capable, so he told Lord Palmerston,
then premier, of effectually annihi-
lating cavalry and infantry and
crushing artillery batteries. Unfort-
unately, the authorities refused to
build or help build any of the ma
chimes, much to Governs dismay.
The inventor was SO enraged over
the government refusal of his plans
that he issued pamphlet telling
the public of his wonderful death
dealing machine and of the pettiness
of the men in power at that time.
The pamphlet, reprinted in London
papers today, shows Governs jugger-
naut, a heavily armored locomotive
belching fire from guns fore and aft.

CHILD LABOR
LAW IS ENDORSED

Ottumwa, Oct. 24.-Iowa's child
labor law, while not as strict as the
new federal statute, was praised as
a satisfactory beginning" by A. l..
Urick, state labor commissioner, at
this mornings conference on labor
problems at the eighteenth Iowa
State Conference on Charities and
Correction.
In two particulars, child labor
permitted under the Iowa law, would
bar the product from interstate COM
merce, under the new federal child
labor law. These provisions of the
Iowa act are:
1. Permitting a parent to employ
his own child under 16 years of age,
and,
2. Permitting boys under 16 to
work in or about a mine.
Labor of any kind under 16 years
outlaws the product interstately I'M
der the federal statute, according to
Commissioner Urick.
The Iowa law, he said, emphasiz-
ed the Importance of the public
schools having adequate vocational
education. An investigation into
causes of child labor in Iowa de-
veloped that the boys and girls who
preferred working to going to school
might have remained in school if
the trades they liked were taught in
the schools.
Commissioner Urick made the i'm
portant point that the iowa child
labor act requires the employer to
obtain permit before he can en-
ploy boy of school age, that is, the
boy or girl who has not had six
years of common schooling. The eff
feet Of this provision, he said, was
to discourage any employers from
even considering so-called, child
workers.
Another clause in the law, max
ing indirectly for minimum child la
hor in Iowa, Commissioner Urick
stated, was the provision that no
child may work more than eight
hours day. In plants running on
the 10 hour day employers were in
clined to have nothing to do with
child labor because it required re-
hour basis.
