RURAL CHILD LABOR
RECEIVING ATTENTION
Several States i'm Which IlIiteracy
Exists Find Absence FrCln School
Due to Farm Work.

A detailed report of a study of
farm work and school attendance in
seven counties in Kentucky in 1916
nas just been published by the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee in the
quarterly Child Labor Builetin. Ru
raj child labor has never received
much attention, according to this
Committee, but recent studies in
Colorado, Kentucky and other States
show that there is a close connection
between children's work on the
farms and the poor school attend
ance and high percentage of Hitter
1ssss-rs l., =,s aid 4 riets. In the seven
counties studied, the report s6atr-.,
the greatest number OF absences
from school in the four months stud
led were due to farm work. Furth-
ermore the children absent for farm
work had a higher per cent. of re-
tardation in school than other chill
dren. Among white children only
1872 per cent. of the daily attendants
were retarded, 22.S per cent. Of the
children absent for other reasons
than farm work, and 46.8 per cent.
of the farm work absentees. Among
negro children the per cent. for daily
attendants was 34.2, for other alb
;entees, 1872, and for farm work alb
sentees, 1916 per cent. One reason
.or this state of affairs is said to be
hat farm work is steady whereas
illness, as a cause of absence, is oc-
,asional; moreover, farm work oc
ours year after year. while illness
may occur only once"
The work the children do on Ken
lucky farms is chiefly in the tobacco
fields, the Investigators found, al
.hough other forms of farm work al
SO exist. Considerable space is given
in the report to a discussion of the
economic condition of the tenant far
mer, because, ''it may be that under
the customary arrangements for
sharing products with the landown-
er, for borrowing money and obtain
ing credit at stores, the tenant far
mer is unable to keep his children in
school throughout the term on ac-
count of the demands of his work
md his inability to hire labor" A
Kentucky school trustee is quoted as
saying, Give us fair price for our
tobacco, and ! will guarantee that
he farmers will send their children
o school and illiteracy will be wiped
out"

Gardening Hints

(From National Emergency Food
Garden Commission,21O Maryland
Bldg, Washington. d. Co.
Having selected your garden
space, measured it and drawn its dia
gram on paper, it is time for you to
decide what plants to grow in those
which you have marked on your
map.
Before you can make this decision
you must know something about the
soil with which you have to work.
In a general way, no matter what the
soil may be, if it will grow anything
1T all, it will probably grow every
vegetable you select.
If your garden, or part of it, hap
pens to be moist and low ground,
such crops as celery, onions, and late
cucumbers will do best there. Ii it
is high, warm, and dry soil, it is par
ticularly adapted to early peas, beans
and other crops which you mean to
force.
If you have plenty of room, you
may grow sweet corn, melons,
squash, and other spreading plants,
in addition to the ones which may be
planted closely together.
Around the edges of your garden
you have probably discovered places
FOR permanent beds of asparagus and
rhubar5, for a few strawberry plants,
and possibly for some other small
fruits, like currents, the bushes OF
which bear annually.
AS for the bulk of your produce,
please your own taste and that OF
your family, always remembering
ing that it is better in small garden
to specialize on few vegetables,
preferably those like string beans,
peas and radishes, which taste better
the fresher they are, than to grow
little driblets of everything, but not
enough of any one thing to be worth
the trouble.
Suggestions for early planting in
an average small garden-peas,
beets, carrots. radishes, parsnips, let
tuee, satisfy, kohl, rabi, onions,
spring spinach, and, if enough room,
potatoes.
Later crops can be planted when
some of these have been gathered.

OLD TIME HOTELS

Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle | In many European countries "the best people" if you know what that means, never bathe in water
 Spanish matrons have expressed much 1 surprise at my complaints about the ! absence of bathing facilities in the Mad rid hotels. One lady, wife of dis tinguished member of the Cortes, told me she had herself rubbed down in oil once 8 week, but never had got into a tub of water and never would!'' It is somewhat doubtful for example. if Columbus had perfect table manners. or took a daily bath, even in the warm waters of the Sargasso sea but he achieved considerable notoriety. Throughout Hungary, outside Budapest, baths are unknown in hotels or in cas- ties of the nobility. Most New Workers recall that an heiress of one of New Yorks wealthiest families-the Wander bilts-married a Hungarian count, and when she reached the ancestral castle,
  expected to restore, sought in vain for any means of taking bath,
 My memory of London hotels goes back to 1875, when there was not single bath tub in any hotel in that city. A tin pan and bucket of warm water was the only 'tub"-and you were lucky to get that.
 And in the sanie period in New York dty the M@3opolitan and St. Nicholas hotels, supposed to be models of excel lence, were totally wanting in bath rooms.
 Admittedly, it is as difficult to imagine life without motor cars as without bath tubs; but the former are less than 20-year- necessity, while the bath was an institution long before the times of the Roman emperors.
 Alexander very nearly lost his life from pneumonia by bathing in one of the chilly mountain torrents of Asia Minor.

Thinks Demands Proper

T am strong believer in the Players Fraternity and will stick with them to the last ditch in their controversy with the magnates,' says Monte Priest mem Der of the Memphis team. who is spend ing the winter in Birmingham. 'I think that the demands on the owners are reasonable and I favor fighting it out.
 'If the players will stick together we can win a strike easily. It begins to appear as though the players are not go- ing to fight the issue out, however as re- ports are read daily in the newspapers of players signing.
 Should this effort of the players fail the fraternity will lose all of its former prestige. The loss of the fraternity would be seriously felt. For example, the frat recovered over s7Oo0 for players last year by forcing the national commission to re- yoke some of their rulings. The frat is fine organization and I hope it will win out in the present issue"

A Little Too Hot

T can sympathize with those boys or the border when it comes to the eating proposition" said G. Troupe Brazelton For, l remember when was in service in the Spanish-American war the regu- lar diet of beans didn't particularly ap- peal to me.
 And that reminds me of a funny thing that happened. We were in restaurant one day, and saw bottle of tabasco- began to have dreams of how good that tabasco would go with the beans we would have on trip we were to make, and swiped the bottle. I stuck it down in my pocket
 But that wasn't the end That was just the beginning The stuff began to leak, and it leaked a whole lot And the more 1t would leak the more it would burn. Why, honestly, can almost feel the blister now"
