FEDERAL SUPERVISION y
Of CHILD LABOR AGAIN
IS PUT INTO EFFECT

Washington, April 22.-Federal su'
pervision of child labor, abolished
when the supreme court last year de-
clared unconstitutional the existing
child labor law, is re-established under
regulations issued by the internal
revenue bureau putting into effect the
new revenue acts on child labor pro
ducts.
The regulations interpret various
provisions of the law. which leVles
tax of 10 per cent on net profit of any
concern employing children under the
specified ages. After April 25, when
the new act becomes fully effective, the
tax will be assessed on the profits OF
any mine or quarry in which children
under 1G years of age are employed,
or any mill, cannery, workshop or fac
tory in which children under ii years
are employed at any time of the year
Boys and girls canning clubs recog
nized by the department of agriculture

A child labor tax division with force
of inspectors will be organized in the
internal revenue bureau TO administer
the new law.
While il is the purpose of the bu'
reau of internal revenue strictly to en-
force the law" said an announcement

supplied-and a dozen other things
holding up delivery.
Before leaving, however, I had Sc
cured the promise of immediate ship
ments and the assurance that not at
any time in the future would deliveries
be as uncertain as in the past. There
is no doubt, however, that it will be
some time yet until conditions return
to their normal state.
After watching those cars built there
remains no doubt in the mind of the
visitor why the Stutz has been named
The Car That Made Good in a Day
and why the Elgin six is called Amer
ica's Most Popular Light Six" Those
cars are made right-not to compete
with price alone but with standards.
/ wish that every purchaser could go
personally and watch every move in
making his particular car. Nothing in
the world could make him greater
booster with the possible exception of
the performance of the car itself-the
proof of the pudding"
The new Elgins and Stutz arrived
Friday and have attracted much atten-
stion, especially among the fair visitors.
An especially attractive Job Is seen in
the Elgin Six speedster. 1t is finished
with a deep red paint job and looks
every inch of the car that it has proven
itself to be. Easy, beauty, power anu
refinement are combined in a very
pleasing manner-one that is, certain to
make an appeal to all desiring car of
this class
No description can better place the
Stutz in the public mind than the fame
which the car has already achieved
The new models are practically the
same as those just before with few
very slight changes and refinements
Several cars out of this shipment have
already been sold.

a remarkably effective campaign OF
education at a time when the women

the needs nor the advantages of this
kind of thrift and to her is attributed
much of the success which the cam
