DANIEL CONES TO JUDGMENT; HEAVEN HELP

TINE Keating-Owen Federal Child Labor law prohibits
employing child under IL in any factory whose
products TO be shipped in interstate 1t
also forbds children a to IS to work longer than eight
hours
It is a good law. Its purpose is perfectly plain. It
is intended to throw the mantle Of protection about lit
uc ones not safeguardcd by their own states.
II fought in the Senate by reactonaries from
Pennsylvania and The cotion-spnng States OF Che South
The FIRST formal court attack upon IT'S validity took place
In North Carolina, where children ~ have perfect
right to work A hours per day.
Tho case before Federal Judge Boyd Of the
Western District Of North Carolina ono Of the survivals
Of elder day Ills thinking belongs TO a past dark,
and an tnprogressve age .He Is apparently convinced
that parents have full right TO say when and where
child shall work; that child has inalienoble right
70 work; and that when try by law TO improve
kind, wo should not invade family rights.
You can still further place Judge Boyd by remember
Ing that in the pamy days Of Mark Hanna who hated
progressive laws as he did poison, Boyd became
sstent attorney general Of tho United states and since
1900 has been Federal district Judge.
Boyd, insofar he able, has knocked out tho
Federal Child Labor law He has called Il unconstltu-
tonsl and onolned Its enforcement in the Western
trct OF North Carolina. He held Congress could reg
late trade the states but not the internal cond
lions OF labor
This will bring great rejoicing to the North Carolina
mill owners where so many men called for the draft,
were rejected because Of physical defects in their
youth IN their slavery in tho mills

Carolina, largely built up thanks to the barbarous laws
Of the state on tho frail bodies Of little children.

thought that is q selfish public duty and a selfish

Volunteer fremen do more than protect life and prop
srty. They give to a community a sense OF security
that is worth much. In addition they keep down the
nren3urance rate and thereby bring money benefit tc
all local property owners. And yet in all the towns

school has taken the youngsters Of tho way OF their

Tho feelings OF these mothers would be grievously

The teachers know this, however, although they do

school system for the past years been The shrk
Ing OF parental responsibility for what children do in
ichool hours.
And teachers feel tho evil Is increasing not because
cooperation between school and homo cannot be mr.
ranged satisfactorily but because tho understanding be-
tween the parent and the child is not OF tho right
kind.
The child at school reflects the home
The boy VIII not mind his teacher II he not accus-

TAXES And nEAsON.

From the New York sun.
Britain is beginning her third year
OF war. We are at the threshold, with
the sources Of supply yet TO be estaD-
lished or consolidated.
Levles on manufacturers OF neces-
sary supplies must not be so heavy
as to discourage enterprise and large
output. Moreover, the Government as
serts authority In these lines Of pro-
duction 10 fix prices. BY doing this II
also largely regulates the extent. Of
profits. AS Frank A. Vanderlin said IN
Chicago the other day, i" think the
Government should not at the salne
time take most Of the profits and put
an excessively low price on OUTPUT
This consideration must DO tho con-
trolling ono In fixing the ratio Of tax
alton of war profits. IL is not mat
ter Of abstract principle. There can
be no two ways OF thinking about the
right OF tho people 20 the lions share
of tho profits TO which their own
treasure, their suffering and their blood
have contributed. 10 Is rather matter
OF expediency, OF determining the point
at which such taxation will discourage
production and stopping just short Of
t.. That Is a task demanding investiga-
ton, common sense and a recognition
OF fair play. Senatorial oratory will
scarcely expedite It much.

Is there any place. left where one can wear out ones old clothes?
 There was time,-and not so many years ago,-when one wore out ones old clothes camping, or on the summer vacation, or working in the garden. Now there are special out fits for gardening. and as for the sum- mer vacation or the camping trip. well-here's what friend of mine told me her women companions on & recent camping trip wore.
 On Fishing and Camping Trip.
 In the first place they had sport skirts, instead of the old skirts we used to put aside for such expeditions.
 Then. instead of the old waists that used to be saved for such occasions. or the inexpensive middies that later took their place, they had the daintt- est of smocks.
 One woman had a silk sweater Ca dark one bought Sspeciaaly for camp ing, she already had a rose colored one for dress-up). another had the latest in white sport sweaters.
 Tho Original Sport Hat.
 For hats they had, of course, the ubiquitous sport hat. Did any article of dress ever develop from such small beginnings to such lengths of cost illness as the sport Nat? Do you re- member the granddaddy of all sport hats? It was the little white duck hat. It cost, think, . quarter. or at the most, fifty cents. At first 1t was only plain white, then 1t began to be

What Treacherous Telephone Re-

 Hello! That you. Madge? You didn't tell me this morning you ex. pected to come into town today"
 There was both surprise and 8 trace of irritation in Dickys voice as his answer came over the telephone.
 "I didn't know it myself until after you left this morning." returned smoothly. Mrs. Durkee called me up and asked me to come in for a days shopping"
 "shopping!" Where did you shop?"
 There was something beside irrita- he was afraid of my answer.
 'Tracy's," I answered, salving my conscience with the assurance that we had stepped into Tracy's, even bought some handkerchiefs at one of the counters. ...In fact, I'm telephon- ing from there now"
 "Oh" Dicky's voice held distinct note of relief. knew that he had been afraid would say Hambers. But 1t was no part of my plan to put him on his, guard by admitting that I had been in Hambel's store during the day. I wanted to see his face when he should learn by my story of the days adventures that I must have been . witness of his shopping, ex- petition with "Edith.''
 Have you been shopping an day7" he went on. ''You must be terribly tired.''
 With swift, fierce pang at my heart I understood. He did not wish me to remain in town for the evening. He probably had planned to spend 1t with "Edith,' for whom but few hours ago he had so blithely bought an expensive hat and suit And he would probably telephone mo, as he had done SO many times before in the last few weeks, that he had an '.en- gagement with an art editor"

 A jealous rage as primitive as that felt by any prehistoric woman seized me. I longed to shriek my know ledge of his actions over the tele- phone. But put it away from me. firmly. compelled my voice to natural ness. I knew that Mrs Durkee was telephoning her son, making arrange ments for the four of us to stay in town and have dinner Ut some res- taurant. I knew that Dicky could hardly help acquiescing in the plan. on account of the Durkees, even if he wished to put SO pronounced . Alight upon me.
 So I answered him with just the right amount of conjugal friendliness in my tone:'

One of the strangest stories that has ever been presented In moving picture form is but mild descrip- ton of 'The Siren." which is the feature of the present Fox program. valeska Suratt, the most interesting and best-dressed woman before the public today. plays the part of Cherry Willard, known as the woman with out heart or soul, selfish. unscrupu- lous, and utterly without feeling for ths welfare of anyone but herself. Compelled by circumstances to fec the scene of a cowardly crime with which she was associated, she goes to . wild little town in California, and soon becomes notorious figure around the toughest dance hall and gam bling den in the West But there comes into her life q man known by no other name than '"The Stranger" and in him she meets her downfall, just as she herself had caused the ruination of many others through her perfect sel6shness. The Siren' Is the best picture that Miss Suratt has yet made, and she does some 0U1OllOAAA WVIA JAAt 4S 0SLVA10AAAA6s In addition. 1t gives her new oppor- tunfties for garbing herself in highly original and very artistic costumes.
