Washington, Feb. 1S.-Advocates of
child labor legislation had g. hearing
today before the senate committee
considering the Keating-Owens bill
which would bar child labor products
from interstate commerce.
w. H Swift Of Greensboro, N. c.,
an agent Of the child labor committee
Of North Carolina, described what he
termed a mill secretary as a develop
ment Of child labor. He said q mill
secretary" was a father, In most cases
q farmer. who with several children
old enough to work In the cotton mills,
idled. his time about home and coll
lected from the mills the wages earn
ed by his sons and daughters. The
term and the species, he said, had be-
come a familiar one In many cotton
mill towns.

|lPPlM OFFICER HOLDS PLACE
LIEUT. BERG NOT IMPRESSED
BY DISPUTES.
United States Marshal Finds His Men
In Dire Distress-Compromise Fin.
ally Made.

Newport News, Va, Feb. 20.-Two
deputy United States marshals were
IN distress aboard the prize ship Ap-
pam today when Marshal John G.
Saunders arrived from Norfolk to see
how things had been going since his
men theatrically disposessed the Ger
man prize crew yesterday. The depu-
ties had spent last night on deck with
nowhere to sleep and nothing to eat
and had utterly failed to impress
Lieut.. Berg, the German commander,
with the fact that his ship was sub
ject to their orders.
Marshal Saunders informed the
lieutenant that the Appam was under
the jurisdiction Of the federal court,
the order having been issued yester-
day by Judge Waddill in libel pro-
ceedings brought by the English
owners to determine the legal owner
ship Of the vessel.
The officers refused to listen, how
ever and Collector Hamilton was sent
for. Finally. on the collectors advice.
Ia compromise was reached. Four
deputies were assigned to the task of
guarding the liner and in theory at
least the lieutenant will be under their
direction. But the guards will carry
their own rations aboard and divide
the duty into two watches OF IL hours
each 80 that half Of the force may
be sleeping while the other half stand
guard.
Lieut.. Berg protested against the
proceedings when the deputies first
appeared yesterday and was even
more vigorous in his complaint today.
He insisted that the .Appam now il a
German ship and that no one has
rights aboard her except himself.
Collector Hamilton acted on advice
from the treasury department at
Washington in permitting service OF
the courts order, and it is understood
that the government win not attempt
for the present to interfere with the
proceedings until decision has been
handed down, SO long as there is nc
attempt to interfere with the actual
status Of the ship. The matter now
Is the subject Of diplomatic negotia.
tions and the state department has
not yet given decision on the ques-
ton Of how long German prize crew
may keep ship in American waters.

The kiss OF Today.

I'VE don't believe" asserts the ed

Well, by the dimples on Cupid's

and sacrilege to our most cherished
institution. we'll eat the Office towel!
Taste as good as they did twenty
years ago Why. there never was a

Adam and Eve collaborated on the
pristine kiss when one didn't taste
good. The silvery stars sang for ioy
In the purple dome Of night when
lip first met lip. The nightingale
was dumb until the golden moment
when the kiss was born. The rose
and the violet were noxious weeds
and nectar was as fiat as circus lem
onade until the worlds first lovers
felt the soul-stirring thrill of that
bubble Of bliss-the kiss. Taste as
good as they did twenty years ago?
Oh. benighted brother. they taste as
good now as they did when Morde-
cal kissed Esther, when Leander
kissed Hero, when Antony kissed
Cleopatra. when Aucassin kissed
Nicolette. when Romeo kissed Ju-
liet, when Dante kissed Beatrice,
when John Alden kissed Priscilla,
when Hermann kissed Dorothea, just

GERMAN COTTON MILLS IDLE

New York Times.
|, So acute has the crisis in the Ger
man textile industry become because
Of the closing Of the cotton mills for
lack Of the necessary raw material
that the authorities OF the province
Of silesia have been compelled to hold
La special meeting in Breslau for the
purpose, Of forming some plan to pro-
vide the textile workers with employ
ment. Many representatives Of both
the employers and the employees, as
we'll as OF different divisions Of the
sovernmsnt, were present. according
to a report in q recent number Of the
schiesische zeitung. and It was agreed
to establish 9 central bureau in Bres-
iau which would obtain all the work
possible. especially. that given out by
the military authorities. and see that
|it was equitabiy divided among the
different sections Of the province.
A great deal Of the work in pros
pest IL evidently to be done in the
home. a. the report refers to its d.
vision among the individual working
men and women. The selesian Branch
Of the Union Of Patriotic Women is
taking leading part in the move
ment to aid the unemployed and will
have charge Of the central bureau in
Breslau. ="
A correspondent writing to the
Frankfurter zeitung from Gladbach,
an important cotton manufacturing
city in Rhenish Prussia, says most of
the mills in that section have shut
down or gone on part time, because
Of the order limiting the supply Of
cotton and yarn to those concerns
working on army contracts. The use
OF fibre from nettles as q substitute
for cotton and similar inventions fre-
quently reported from Germany are
not noted as giving much work to the
employees Of the textile mills.

DIR. Rupert Blue. Surgeon General
OF the United States Public Health
Service, at Washington, D. c., believes
IN preparedness" not exclusively in
that preparedness that calls for lar
ger armament and for larger body of
trained fighting men both on land and
sea, but In a strong healthy citizen
snip. He deems 1t Of far greater i'm
portance to maintain a nation of
strong physically fit citizens to follow
tho pursuits of peace than a trained
citizenship to answer the call to arms.
He says that an able bodied, vigorous
society clothed in the armor of
hygienic knowledge and fortified by
adequate sanitary defenses, is equal
~ able to Withstand the shock Of
arms. and the continued strains of the
occupations Of peace.
DR.. Blues program for sanitary pre-
paredness calls first for the necessity
OF teaching the individual the value
OF a sound body. He must be made
TO believe that the body Of man is a
personal and national asset. Prob
ably upon the plastic mind of the
schcol child is the best means of i'm
pressing these simple truths of health
and personal hygiene. Then sani-
tary living must be made n hab,t
among all the people. and individual
improvement must be constantly i'm
pressed upon the public mind. Last.

Increase In Revenue Probably Will be

Washington, Feb. 19.-The pro-
posal to amend the income tax law
so as to include smaller incomes, is
virtually certain to be abandoned in

Sentiment against lowering the ex-

the Democratic caucus Thursday
night. When Democratic Leader

the present minimum of $4,000. Lead
ers declared tonight that virtually the
entire preparedness revenue burden
would be met with income taxes.
Tentative bills looking to raising
$100,000.000 solely by an increased
income tax rate will be offered soon
in the committee.
One Of the Democratic leaders who
will be active in framing the admins.
tration bill said tonight he would sug.
gest doubling the present / per cent
rate on incomes below $4,000 and
possibly make the tax on incomes
above that amount as high as s pc,

The general impression is that &C.

TOBACCO BEDS SUFFER-.
Crop In Clarendon Suffers From Cold
Weather.

Manning. Feb. 1S.GThe extremely
cold weather of Tuesday and wednes-
day proved very destructive to the
tobacco beds in this county that were
up to a good stand. What propor-
tion of the farmers had their tobacco
beds well advanced can not be stated,
but those who lost their plants by
the freeze may yet resow their beds
and get plants in time to make a
crop though rather late. The tenn
perature in Manning was down to II
degrees Wednesday morning. A
movement has been started to induce
a number Of farmers to go into pea
nut raising as a money crop to sup
piement cotton and tobacco, but
nothing definite has developed yet.
The current loss Of the tobacco plants
might weigh somewhat in favor OF un-
dertaking the raising of peanuts for
the market.
