What the Shad Sign Says

Because shad were caught in the Hudson riv-
er for the first time in thirty years in the month
Of November, weather forecasters say this is to
be an open winter. We don't believe it. Recently
the government weather experts said that no
credence could be placed on the popular "old
signs" that predict cold or an open winter. The
only sure way to prepare for winter is to wait
and see what each day brings. We believe in
"watchful waiting" with good supply Of coal in
the cellar and ear muffs handy on the mantle
shelf

by the National Child Labor Committee which is
seeking federal prohibition Of child labor Its
latest bulletin gives the following survey:
Twenty-eight states allow children to work
more than hours day in stores and other local
establishments; 10 states allow children to work
at night in such establishments; % states have
no regulation of street work by children, and 20
states have poor regulations; q states need night
messenger laws; 26 states do not require medi-
cal examination of children for work permits; II
states have no educational requirements for work
permits, and 80 states have standards lower than
the 5th grade; one state has no compulsory edu-
cation law, and states have only local option
laws Therefore, "the $4,000 working chill
dren whose status cannot be directly affected by
any kind of federal regulation present the major
problem on which the efforts 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 now reached the stage where by
taking hold instead Of letting go, we may hope to
see the solution of the problem
That the Committee Is strong organization
ready for the aggressive campaign" is suggest
ed in the details of the report which shows that
the membership was larger than ever in 1915,
totalling 1926 persons, that Investigations, IN
Guiding studies Of agriculture, canneries, textile
mills, tenement homework, and vocational train
ing, were carried on in ID different states, that
the Committees exhibits have been shown in AZ
cities, and that its newspaper publicity has
reached every state in the Union.

Spain INDUCES

The Spanish government is building a gun
factory with American machinery. This is part
of her preparedness program. Spain geograph-
cally is close to the vortex of the European war.
Perhaps it is wise craftsmanship for her to pre-
pare, but it seems to us, Spain might do well to
stay neutral and follow Switzerland's policy
of preparedness.

Ernest ArchdeacOn,

Visits Detroit
IS ADVOCATE OF
WORLD LANGUAGE
Believes Adoption of
EsperantO Would Help
Exports From US.

Ernest Archdeacon Of Paris,
France. Journalist. writer paeihsI'
has come TO Detroit for the purpose
or writing history of the automo-
bile. having been interested IN that
modern means OF transportation
from its first experiment as a steam
buggy.
Mr. Archdeacon is an ardent ard
enthusiastic Frenchman who throws
his whole soul into any work which
he undertakes. He Is making care
fnl survey or the automobile fac
tories OF this city and learning all
that he can concerning the actual
manufacture and also the economic
management OF this industry He
Is naturally not in sympathy with
the war and was much interested IN
Henry rord's peace party and the
neutral conference. tho disagree.
Ing with him az TO methods. He
belongs 10 every peace society in
France and believes that be could
be OF real assistance 10 Mr. Ford In
the peace propaganda which he has
undertaken In Europe.
" Mr.. Archdeacon was one OF the
most jealous advocates OF aviation
and predicted its coming long be-
fore Il was an accomplished fact
He Ia identified with It's success
An France and knows it's history
from the beginning to the present
time. He cannot understand. he
says. Why the genius OF the Wright
brothers was much more appreciat.
cd In France than IL ever has been
In America.
.You are far In advance OF us in
business said Mr.. Archdeaeon,
Especially in the automobile. Our
manufacturers are not content 70
eonfne themselves 20 one model
hut undertake eight or 10. and. con.
pequentiy. cannot make money out
Of them unless they charge big
prices. They are very stupid about
that. II seems to me"
Another thing In which Mr.. Arch
deacon f. interested is Esperanto,
the world language. which, he de
clares. can be learned in couple
Of weeks.
1.-THE Americans 40 not care much
about e." he continued. They
fhink they are so big a country THAI
n will not be OF benefit TO them
But they are mistaken. Manufac-
turers could print their catalogues

over the world. for all other coun-
tries are interested In this matter
Another thing which would be a
great advantage 10 you would be 70
adopt the metric system. Every
one knows that II 10 the best sys

could not be done all az once. but

replaced with those made on that

Mr.. Archdeacon declares himself
delighted with this country, but
wonders why we make II so din.
cult for the immigrant 10 come in
rather than welcoming him ss
means TO the opening up and fur.
fher development OF our industries
and land.
"You have not enough people TO
ia your work and yet you restrict
the Immigrant and do nothing for
him when he comes" Mr.. Archdea-
ron concluded. Detroit has no
houses for many people; they are
huddled together In any spot they
can nnd. This IL very strange to
me among a people so practical and
eficient."
