Miss Lathrop urged stricter school
laws to combat child labor. She said.
"Qf 1000. 0oa children under sixteen
years old gainfully employed. less
than 1000 are in occupations con-
trolled by the child labor law. Three
fourths OF the children in the coun-
try are employed in agricultural work.
Their only legal protection Is the
school attendance laws. many of
which are Inadequate and poorly en-
forced. State and federal reports on
rural schools are filled with descrip-
tons of short terms, poor school
houses AMI underpa!d- teachers-"1n
England the root of rural child labor
mas been cut by the new educdlCn
act which provides that all children
up to fourteen years old shall go to
school for the full term. The United
States could secure the same result
by invoking the method of joint state
and federal contributions now EN-
ployed to promote vocational educa-
ton, To make ii possible for children
to remain at school, scholarships
should be esta hiished to pay at least
part of the wages the children might
be earning.
DR.. Menienhal1 urged support for
the proposed bill providing federal
and state appropriations for maternity
instruction and care. The bill is
framed to apply 10. rural areas where
more than cne-half the ha hies in the
United States are born. She said.
New Zealand has already developed
a similar system to nursing care and
maternity hygiene instruction and
now has an infant mortality rate just
half OF that OF the United States and
a much lower maternal death rate.
England has an even farther reach
ing bill for health visitors, nursing
aid. medical and hospital care for
child bearing women and home help
at the time OF sickness. s

MISS ADELE CLARK
SPEAKS ON SUFFRAGE
Says Strange that congressman Who
Oppose Submission Are WILL
ing To Hold Once.

Miss Adele Clark, legislative chair
man Of the Equal Suffrage league OF
Richmond, speaking yesterday after
noon at suffrage headquarters on
Fourteen Points on Suffrage" gave
first a brief outline OF the suffrage
movement up-to-cate, and later stress-
ing several points in detail The first
OF these being the passage of the
woman suffrage amendment by the
house Of representatives on May 2lst.
and the fact that only one OF vir-
gtnia's delegation in the house voted
in its favor.
1T seems strange" said Miss
Clark. that congressman who object
to the submission of the federal suf-
nage amendment to the state legisA
latures for ratification, have shown
no objection to holding federal office.
and to passing federal laws which are
not submitted to the states. 1t ap-s

hcan form OF government. II it were
not for the word male which had
not been used in the constitution until

southern men are willing to submit to
this Is the cause of great astonishment
to southern women"
In discussing an argument against
suffrage used recently by the ants
to the effect that General Lee would
not have favored giving the vote to
women. Miss Clark said: III is hardly
fair to make such statement when
we know that during the civil war
General Lee commissioned as captain
a woman. head of a hospital in order
that she might carry on her "--rk
