ROBBIE RABBIT GOES SKATING.

ROBBIE RABBIT GOES SKATING.
Robbie Rabbit wanted to go skating
on the big pond by the woods, but his
mother told him the ice was too thin, and
besides, hat Old Dog would very likely be
about as il was fine day for hunting.
"Now, YOU be good bunny and stay
away ON the pond You can run about

old Mr. Dog will not find you, and il he
does happen To spy you, You can run IN
and his bark cant hurt you 1t is only
his bite or Mr. Mans gun you have to
fear.
"Oh dear, / want TO go skating,
whined Robbie Rabbit al know Mr..
Man will not hunt for me on the pond.
Please, can't | go2'
You see, Robbie Rabbit was just like
many little boys who think their mothers
might let them do things they wish 10
when their mothers know they should not.
He went out Of the house with q very sulky
look on his face He ran under the bushes
and sat down and listened. Il don't hear

mother said that To frighten me. She does
not want fellow to have any fun at all :
Robbie Rabbit kicked the leaves about
for few minutes and then he looked down
the path. There was his mother running
over to Granny Rabbits house.
Robbie Rabbit jumped up and ran into
the house and in another minute he was
running along through the woods toward
the pond, with his skates over his shoulder.
1t was bright, sunny morning and
Robbie Rabbit soon forgot all else but
the fun nc was having skating and that
he was sure he could fool his mother and
she would never know he had disobeycd
her
But like all naughty boys, Robbie
Rabbit was soon to find out that wrong
doing is always punished

such delightful reading. Here is a PLAZA
that, like story, can be read in hall an
hour and provide diversion and refresh
ment of the mind The conversation
is full of vim and lightncss, there is con-
siderable banter and repartee and always
an intense interest. 1t Is the tale OF q
gifted American girl, who made quite
a name on the concert stage abroad, and
then left her studio in Paris TO marry a
Boston millionaire. The rlgidity of mind
and habits of the mother-in-law, and the
inability of the girl to adapt her personality
10 the mother-in-law' lack of IT, made
the plot of the story But it turns out
very happily, after providing a bit of
mystery, and everything ends merrily

NO CHILD LABOR IN
GOVERNMENT WORK
Rules Governing The Contractor In
The Employment OF Child
Labor

The National Child Labor Commit
tee looks upon the new ruling of the
War Policies Board as distinct step
forward in the effort to obtain protec-
ton for American children. This rul-
ing specifies that in all contracts for
government work the contractor shall
not employ any children in violation
of the terms of the federal child law
which has been declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme Court. That
is, THE contractor shall not directly
or indirectly employ in the perform
ance of the contract any minor under
the age of II years, or permit any
minor between the age of IA and 16
years to work more than eight hours
in any one day, more than six days in
any one week, or before 6 a. m. or
after z p. m"
owen r. Leroy, Secretary of the
National Child Labor Committee, in
commenting on this ruling said,- 1.-The
government gain puts itself on record
as strongly opposed to the employment
of children. 1t is part of the war pro-
gram that the children must be kept
from feeling the effects of the war.
either through a lowering of their
health. or through loss of education
or premature work in factories and
mills. The action of the Supreme Court
in declaring the federal. child labor
law unconstitutional left the children
without any national measure of pro-
lection, ad we know that many of them
have been sent back to the mills and
factories from which they were taken
last year. But now that the War Pol
icies Board has automatically restored
the provisions of the federal law in all
government contracts, we may look
forward confidentaly to success in our
effort to obtain new national law"
Julia c. Lathrop. Chief of the Chill
dren's Bureau. says with regard to the
ruling, this action affords a large
measure of protection and is very en-
couraging."
