couldn't walk for a few days but |
am thankful that this one came
from different hands. We would
like, in these few lines to thank
our friends for all the good
things they brought us. We are
thankful for your gifts, and we
appreciate your love, friendship
and thoughtfulness of us. Our
hearts were made to rejoice over
the fact that these gifts did not
only come from the members of
our Church, but from all the
other Churches. am sure that
God is pleased over the fact that
we, as His children, can all work
hand in hand to the up-building
Of His kingdom.

HOUSE CHILD LABOR BILL
AMENDED BY Committee
Changes It in Important Respects
Before Voting to Report Measure
to the Senate.

The House child abor bill was amend
ed in important respects before the
Senate interstate commerce committee
yesterday voted to report the measure
to the Senate. AS passed by the House.
the bill would prohibit the employment
of children by manufacturers of goods
shipped in interstate commerce. The
Senate committee amended the bill so
as to prohibit the interstate shipment
of goods in the manufacture of which
children have been employed. This
amendment, the committee holds. makes
an attack upon the constitutionality OF
the measure less probable.
Another amendment to the bill makes
a producer, manufacturer or dealer la
BILE to prosecution if he ships in inter-
state commerce product from a plant
where children have been employed
thirty days prior to such shipment. Ihc
House bill had made this period sixty
days. but had established a rule of evl-
dence in connection Herewith, whlch
was eliminated by the committee.
The vote in the committee in favor
of reporting the bill was 6 to .. The
bill will be reported by Senator Robln-
son of Arkansas as soon as opportunity
permits.

New candiates are entering the friendly battle of votes every day. And many of the latest entries are giving every evidence oi peing most formidable candidates
 III view Of the fact that the pnr chasers of ticket books are afforded such a pronounced convenience when avtcnolng the Columbia theater. or the hlks theater, too, where the tickets are also redeemable, candidates are iinilnS no difficulty in securing votesl incidentally this tends to make the oaiiots pile up rapidly and induces many candidates to begin working in the Friendly rivalry.
 ihe convenience to purchasers is manifested every evening at both thea ters when ticket book holders do not wal Tn line to purchase their tickets. put ai < directly into the theater Per maps the best evidence of the desira . bility in holding tienet hooks is the iact that nearly every day many reg uiar patrons of the two show houses voluntarily purchase books while they nave no interest in any particnle~ candidate. .I.fRfyw1
