of strutting and puffing himself out. After while he was no longer con- tent to admire himself. He wanted others to admire him. At the first chance he began to strut and show off all his grand airs before Mrs. Gobbler. At first she paid no attention to him. At least that is the way she appeared. She would turn her back on him and. walk off into the bushes. This made old Mr. Gobbler very angry until he discovered that she would tip-toe back and watch him admiringly when she thought he didn't know it. That made him strut all the more"

CHILD LABOR LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
JUDGE RULES ON kEAToN-OWEN
ACT-FEDERAL LAW Is HELD
TOBE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Congress Can Regulate Trade Among
States, But Not the Internal Condi-
tons of Labor, Jurist Says.

Greensboro, N. C.-Federal Judge
Boyd, of the Western district of North
Carolina, held the Keating-Owen child
labor law to be unconstitutional and
enjoined the United States District
Attorney, William c. Hammer, and his
Successors, assistants, deputies and
agents" from enforcing in the district
the provisions of the act of Congress,
which becomes effective. The decision
of Judge Boyd came at the conclusion
of three days of argument on the con-
stitutionality of the act. The case
came before the court on injunction
proceedings brought in the name of
Roland H. Dagenhart and his minor
sons, Reuben and John, Of Charlotte,
who sought to restrain a Charlotte
cotton mill company from discharging
the two boys. In announcing his de-
cision Judge Boyd said he was graft
fed by the candor of Prof. Thomas l.
Parkinson, of Columbia University,
representing the Department of JUS
tice, who asserted that Congress had
used it's power over interstate COM
merce for the object of regulation of
local conditions within the state and
the encouragement of child labor.

PROMISES INFORMATION
Representative Ayers Arms Makers
Have PaImed Off Material That
Allies Rejected.

Washington.-The House of Repre-
sentatives is determined to get at the
bottom of the ordnance scandal. Two
resolutions were introduced to this
end Representative McLemore, of
Texas, offered a resolution requesting
the Secretary of War to place before
the House at the earliest possible mo-
ment "all evidence and information he
may possess regarding the defective
ammunition that has been sent by this
Government to the United States ex-
peditionary forces now in France"
This was adopted unanimously.
Chairman Dent, of the Military Affairs
Committee, submitted more drastic
measure. His resolution directs the
Speaker to appoint a committee or
seven from the membership of the Mil
itary Affairs Committee to investigate
the supply of small arms ammunition
sent to the American troops. He
would have the committee empowered
to summon witnesses and examine
them under oath.

BREAD TO COST TEN CENTS
Basis Estimated on Sixteen Ounce Size,
Which Might Retail at Eight
Cents, Is Possible.

Neutrality-suspicious. of an early
and radical reduction in bread prices
apparently vanished when Herbert
Hoover, the Food Administrator, an
nounced that the best the public may
expect is a sixteen-ounce loaf for 10
cents or, possibly, eight cents. The
eight-cent loaf CT 16 ounces is possible,
Mr.. Hoover said, only if bakers, retail
ers and consumers unite to eliminate
wasteful distribution methods and CO.
operate to obtain standardized loaf.
The price of family flour, Mr.. Hoover
said, should be reduced, at the present
price of wheat, at least So or So bar
rel. Bakers -four, however, will sell
little cheaper than at present.

outbreak of the war an air raid on
England is officially shown to have
had effects of military value" to the
raiders.
Six Teuton airplanes that swooped
down upon the big military and naval

Paris.-A correspondent of the

es surprise at the number of men for

company of American engineers, as
sisted by the French engineering serv-
ice," he writes. "All the American

GERMAN FORCES TAKE RIGA
War Department Declares Several De-
tachments Voluntarily Left Their
Positions, Refusing to Fight.

London.-Riga has fallen Tito the
hands of the Germans. Berlin officially
announced the capture Of Russia's prin'
cipal Baltic port, closely following the
admission from Petrograd that the city
had been evacuated. The Russian
War Office declares several detach-
ments voluntarily left their positions,
refusing to fight They are retiring to-
ward the north. Riga was abandoned
to the Germans under the threat of an
offensive by land and sea in which the
deciding stroke on the land side was
delivered by the Germans. The fate
of Riga virtually was sealed when Ger
man troops, powerfully initiating their
offensive, forced crossing of the
Dvina, southeast of the city, and be-
gan to push northward after making
good their foothold on the right bank
of the stream.

RIFLE RANGES ARE APPROVED

Hattiesburg, Miss.-Two rifle ranges
for soldiers at Camp Shelby were
given final inspection by Major Gen
eral w. H. Sage, cOmmandant of the
camp. One is for target practice, the
other for combat" work, and both are
said to have been favorably comment
ed on by General Sage. The ranges
we're selected by Major H. F. Noble,
former tactical officer at Culver Mill
tary Academy, who has spent weeks
in inspection of the territory sur
rounding Camp Shelby. Both ranges
are apart from the camp proper. Vir-
tually every danger to civilians from
range firing is eliminated, officers as
sert, unless civilians themselves be-
come careless and disregard warnings
not to enter the prohibited zone. The
danger to soldiers from accident SINH
larly is eliminated, they said.
The ordinary practice range will
have 200 targets, thus affording cppor-
tunity for hundreds of guardsmen TO
work at the same time The combat
range viii permit the soldiers to simu-
ate actual warfare on this range.
Moving dummies viii be employed TO
represent the enemy and problems in
