MUST FIX OWN LAWS
Next Legislature to Iron Out Com
pulsOry School Acts.

The coming session of the state leg
islature will be asked to heal breach
in its law pertaining. to children,
which. technically interpreted, permits
a boy or girl during their 18th year
to remain out of school and unem-
ployed, according to Miss Lima E.
Bresette. secretary of the state indus
trial welfare commission. The facts
are, that one state law requires all
children up to the age. of Is years to
remain in school while another state
law provides that no child under 16
years can be engaged in industry.
1T is not infrequentlX that this sit
uation confronts US, said Miss Bre-
sette. I'VE are asked, why is il that
"a boy or girl 5 is not permitted to en-
gage in. industrial work, and at the
same time doesn't have to go to
school?
81 trust the next legislature will ad-
just this matter SO as to make the
laws conform. My recommendation
is that the laws make it plain that a
child cannot engage in industry until
he has completed the eighth grade in
school, or is past Is years old. AS a
matter of fact a lot of children fin
ish the elementary schools--thru the
eighth grade-by the time they are Is
years old. The real intention of the
educa ationa1 law is to require each
child to get at least an elementary
education. 1t is not SO much a mat
ter of years as it is of the fixing of a
minimum amount of education that
every boy and girl should have to bet
ter equip them to earn "a livelihood
after they go to work..

WORK FOR PEACE
Senators Would Purge Land Of
All War Laws.
BOrah and Reed Are the Lead
erS in the Move.

Washington, Dec. 16.-''While
America abroad, in the person of
President Wilson, is working for
world democracy, America at home,
thru congress, must work for a return
to democratic democracy untainted
by arbitrary methods and measures
held necessary to a war.'-Senator
William f. Borah.
In this statement is summarized the
purpose behind the efforts of Borah
and other progressive senators who
lare demanding immediate repail by
fcongre of certain war measures

Under a concerted plan, strive for
common aims, including:
Full restoration of the right of free
speech.
Recapture by the American press of
it's right. of free and open discussion
of public men, public policies and ma
tional events.
Further democratization of con-
gress.
Amplifying this thought. Borah said
today:
THE war is ovef. The true test of
democracy is whether when war ends,
democracy can get back to purely
democratic principles. Can it put be-
/ hind it arbitrary methods and meas

can do so. if the people so will.
All Off of Books.
"I am in favor of wiping from the
statute books every arbitrary measure
and every imperfous precedent of war.
1 not only want to get them off the
statute books but 1 want them to be
forgotten as precedents and to be
eliminated from our political system.
81 shall offer more bills for repeal
ing certain statutes just as fast as we
can get to them, giving a reasonable
time to clean up pending matters"
Borah's reference to more bills
had to do with his bill repeating the
portions of the espionage act which
permit the postmaster general to say
what can and what cannot go thru the
mails.
Repeal Espionage Law.
He intends to follow this measure
with a repeal of the whole espionage
law on the ground that such a meas
ure has no place in a democracy in
time of peace.

When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35c or ST bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,

A little zemo, the penetrating salts
