SOME ADVICE TO CHILDREN
WHO INTEND TO WORK THRO'
VACATION PERIOD

NFNNfN . lNlN- GENlSD
State Factory Inspector Oscar F.
Nelson has issued the following in
structOns to parents and employers
OF children who wish to work during
the summer vacation:
Every child in order to work must
be over IA years of age and must
obtain an age and school certificate.
Without this certificate an employer
has no legal right to give employ
ment to a child and will be the one
held responsible.
Pupils of the public schools may
obtain these permits at the Jones
school, Harrison and Plymouth Ct;
pupils of the Catholic paTOChial
schools may secure permits at Cath
ole issuing Office in the Morton bldg,
538 S. Dearborn, and pupils Of Pro-
testant parOChial schools must Sc
cure permits from pastor or principal
Of their school Children must be
accompanied by parents in order to
obtain permits.
~. S. supreme court has ruled
that an employer hires a child at the
employers peril. Any age state
ment made by the child must be veri-
fed by the employer and the latter
must keep the permits of children be-
tween IA and Is years old on file and
must keep posted names and ad-
dresses of all children on the wall of
his Office or shop.
"a child must not be employed
over 8 hours a day or 48 hours a
week, and the 8 hours of a day must
be performed between Z a. m. and z
p. m.
Section II of the child labor law
must be impressed upon employers
This section prohibits the employ
ment of children under 16 years Of
age at or about dangerous machin-
cry. Any occupation for a child
around poweT-dTiven machinery is
considered dangerous"

JUDGE FIXES CUPID'S ERROR IN
DOMESTIC RELATIONS COURT
Judge Rooney essayed the role Of
adjusteT of Cupid's blunders yester-
day in the court of domestic relations
with $3.50 success.
Charles Buehler brought in court
by Mary admitted that though mar
ried only seven months they had
been separated five months. Mary
didn't know why this was, but
Charles did. After he had married
Mary she grew confidential and told
him of a romance in the old country
and she sighed over it and recalled it
again and again until Charles de-
Cided she was living in the past and it
made hell' with him.
The judge got Charles in the frame
of mind where-he was willing to over
look the past romance and ask Mary
to live with him again, but it all near
ly went awTy when Mary told him
he should get down on his knees to
her and he refused to do that with
any woman who had a romance be-
fore the one she had with him.
However, the judge convinced him
that Mary was worth the getting
down for and Charles made a few
further concessions, so that the two
left the courtroom arm in arm to try
it again.
The judge worked just as diligent-
ly to patch up the romance of George
A. Staley and his wife Anna, but his
arguments and appeals fell on deaf
ears so far as Anna was concerned.
She said she had forgiven ninety and
nine times and there would not be a
hundredth forgiveness.
However, the judge didn't despair.
He refused to enter an order for 80
days in the hope that George may do
his own adjusting meanwhile.

DEATHS FROM HEART
DISEASE INCREASING
Health Department Calls Atten-
tion to Marked Mortality
Lists.

Attention Is directed by the Health
Department in its weekly bulletin tn
the increased mortality from heart dis
ease. - ~ -,
: For the hve-year period between 1926
and 1900 the evoroge annual death rate
from heart disease rer 100000 inhabitants
was 1856. For the next Ave years from
1901 to 1905 the rate Increased to 1bs. Tho
rate from lpO6 to 1910 wnB 16e. and from
1911 TO 1915 the average annual death
rate was IA
These figures, while large" says the
report, do not represent all fataiitieD
which might properly be attributed to
heart disease. Many deaths from acute
diseases. pneumonia, for instance, are
Influenced by n weakened condition OF

something can be done In controlling
the onset of these maladies that origin
ally effect the heart but much more
can be dtne to diminish the mortality
from them by an carly knowledge OF
"a large proportion OF these heart
troubles originate In early life. and the
patient ls unaware OF any defect. II the
disease be early recognized medical adj
vice could bo sought and those pursuits
avoided which tend to aggravate the
trouble.

tion of school children by the medical
inspectors with a view to finding out
these defects would go long way 10

ficlal results would follow.
Pneumonia and grip still are preva.
lent In tho District. The number OF
deaths from pneumonia during the week

vRRDUN DRIVE A pAILUREp

1t is too early to assume that a
lull in the attack on Verdun means
that the Germans have passed the
crisis of their effort, and are ac-
knowledging failure. More likely,
they are planning to direct new
attack from a new direction and are
reorganizing their dispositions,
especially of artillery, with that end
in view.
But the fact remains that along
the course of the original movement
they have not carried their point, and
that they failed in it only after max
ing terrific sacrifices of men and ma
terial. They failed, as they failed in
the drive on Paris and the drive on
Calais. They have permitted an
other demonstration that they are
not irresistible. The French army and
nation must be greatly encouraged by
the results to date. They will take
up the defense again, if the assaults
shall be renewed, with more courage
and confidence.

HANDLING "r. R." WITH GLOVES

The Democratic State convention
at Syracuse indorsed the Wilson Ad-
rninistration in ardent terms, as was
to have been expected. But it did
something else that was quite as sig
nificant. It omitted slurring allu-
sion to Theodore Roosevelt, which
had been written into the. earlier
drafts Of the platform, and after
last-minute counsel was dropped out.
In the original draft, which is re-
ported to have been submitted to and
approved by the White House, the
financial crisis of 1907 was referred
to as the Roosevelt panic" by way
Of attaching the responsibility and
discredit to the man who was at that
time President. Some cool-headed
Democrat from upstate, the story
goes, went to the leaders and pro-
tested that there was no occasion
for indulging an unnecessary fling at
man who is a popular idol and
whose friends would be sure to re-
sent it.
So the fling was omitted. Even
the leaders of Tammany could get
the idea that it was worse than use
less to insult popular intelligence
merely for the sake Of pandering to
the prejudice that is willing and
anxious to believe anything to the
discredit of Roosevelt. People who
are intelligent and fair know bet
ter; they would merely feel dis
gusted at such a cheap bit of low
politics; those who hate Roosevelt
will hate him just as sincerely with
out being told something that they
would be glad to believe even if they
knew it was not true.

BRANDEIS BY WnIPPLE

The reluctance Of Senator Chill
tons subcommittee to pursue vigor-
ously its investigation into the record
and character of Louis d. Brandeis
has been apparent, for the issues are
clearly before the members of this
committee.
The high spots in Mr.. Brandeis'
career-that is to say, his relations
with the United Shoe Machinery
Company and his connection with
the Lennox and Warren cases-have
been gone into thoroughly enough to
permit either a lawyer or a layman
to form his opinion of Mr.. Brandeis'
fitness.
The testimony has demonstrated
that in these cases there was a great
deal to say for and against the con-
duct of Brandeis. 1t was clearly
shown, in other words, that his con-
duct lay definitely inside the zone of
questionable legal practice. No wit
ness. in our opinion, put the whole
thing more clearly than Mr.. Sherman
L. Whipple, Of Boston. who was
openly a defender of Mr.. Brandeis
when Mr.. Whipple said that Mr.
Brandeis had raised a question OF
professional taste, and that he, Mr.

THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM

Not many men have had larger
opportunities for knowing the real
workings of the grand jury system
than Henry A. Wise, who was for a
number of years the signally eff
cient and able Federal district at
torney for the southern district Of
New York. Mr.. Wise knows all the
ms and outs, the quirks and turns,
Of the grand jury process. He in
forms the House Judiciary Commit
tee that the grand jury system is
mot worth two-cent piece" and
that a district attorney can indict
just about whom he pleases.
Mr.. Wise's verdict on the grand
jury procedure agrees with the
opinion of many others who are
familiar with it. On the one side
there is the fact that the prosecutor
can indict just about anybody he
wants to indict. There is the fact
that indictment involves ignominy
and contumely in only less degree
than conviction. A reckless, ill-con-
sidered indictment may be the ruin
Of a mans business or social stand
ing, just as completely as if he had
been convicted. Before he can be
tried and vindicated the damage will
have been done; the community re-
members the indictment, differenti-
ates little or not at all between il
and conviction, and files away in the
pigeonholes of general impression
an estimate of the indicted person
that can never be entirely obliterI
ated by any subsequent development
This is bad for the man against
whom an excaseless bill may be re.
turned. On the other side there is
the excessive technicalism of the
proceeding, making it necessary tc
have an expert draw even the sim
plest indictment in order that il
shall "stick." The guilty man may
escape, while the innocent man suf
fers as much injury as result of in
dictment, as if he had been tried
convicted, and locked up. The system
certainly needs overhauling. and de
serves the attention of the highes
authorities in legal process.
