that Jack Knight Is a free agent,

was one other besides Jack knight,

intention Of buying four or five ready
made matinee horses for some of the
members who are unable to go to the

II is a mighty hard job to get the
horses classed exactly right the first

sensus of opinion is that the races Sat
urday are very evenly balanced and the
speed committee expects the various
contests TO show for themselves how
well matched the horses are.

MINIMUM STANDARDS
FOR HEALTH OF AMERI-
CAN CHILDREN
Some Requirements AS Result
of Conference Held
Recently

Minimum standards for the health,
education and work of American chill
dren were drawn up in tentative form
as result of the three days confer
ence on child welfare standards which
has just completed it's sessions at
Washington, D. c. The standards
will be further discussed at the reg
ional conferences in nine cities, which
will be held in the next three weeks
under the auspices of the Children's
Bureau, U. S. Department Of Labor.
The standards drawn up set sixteen
as the lowest age at which children
can go to work on any occupation dur
ing the months when school is in ses-
sion. Nine months schooling. either
full or part time for children between
7 and Is years Of age is proposed as
the minimum educational standard. A
child of 16 cannot go to work unless
he has completed the eighth grade
Education beyond the eighth grade is
to be provided for employed children
between 1G and IS years old by at
tendance at day continuation schools.
The working day of minors shall
never be longer than hours and for
children between 16 and 18 shall be
less than the adults working day.
Night work and employment in haz-
ardous occupations shall be prohibited.
Minors shall be paid at a rate which,
for full time employment, would yield
at least the necessary cost of proper
living"
A central employment agency for
children should be established, offer
ing occupational advice and supervis-
ion during the first years of employ
ment.

What has been the result? In few

What has been the result? In few
short years, this industry has sprung
from being one of this country's IN
FAINT industries to one involving capl-
talizatiorS of over $1,000,000,0OO, and
employing thousands upon thousands
of men.
Advertising is admittedly the only
effective way of expressing your con-
fidence in your wares, and assuring
the turnover necessary to make any
considerable profit. Moth-eaten, dust
covered goods on sagging, hopeless
looking shelves, make no profit and
add nothing to the general appear
ance of the place. Such conditions
have no place in the establishment OF
a successful business man.

How Do You Find Business ?

"How do you find business-pick-
ing up or falling off ?"--is the ques-
ton we all hear many times day
now. To this question the healthy,
energetic, hustling business man has
only one answer-"It's picking up"
We all know conditions cannot re-
main unchanged from day to day.
They either become better or worse.
Naturally, we all want them to i'm
prove, but it probably seldom occurs
to the average business man that whe-
ther they improve or not, largely de-
pends on his own attitude. In other
Wsrds, this nation of ours is collec-
ton of 110,000,000 people, whom, if
they will all go out and boost and
hustle in the future, the same as they
have in the past, nothing can stop.
1t takes confidence in your country
and in yourself-you proved the for
mer in the way you backed the U. S.
A. in the war, but you simply must
have confidence in yourself or you will
never succeed. The leaders of the
automobile industry have always had
unbounded confidence in their country,
themselves, and their business.

The section on employment certifi-
Gates sets forth uniform requirements
as to proof the child must furnish of
age, education and physical fitness.
The child cannot secure an employ
ment certificate until he proves that
he has a definite promise of a Job.
The State shall supervise the issuance
Of employment certificates and the
enforcement of school attendance laws
The education of the public in all
that concerns the child and it's mother
is, according to the Conference, es-
sential in raising health standards.
The health of the school child is,
according to the standards, adopted
by the conference, to be safeguarded
by the provision of proper school
houses, and Of adequate facilities for
recreation and physical training. Chill
dren in need of some form of special
instruction because of mental or phy-
sical defect or retardation should
have special attention in open air
classes, nutrition classes and the like,
and are to have, if necessary, rest per-
iods at school and additional nourish-
ment. Schools should be provided
with a school nurse t teach the child
rem the essentials of health and to do
follow-up work in the home.

What The Flag Means

The flag means more to Americans
in the year 1919 than it has ever
meant in our lives. And why? Not,
surely, because it is more familiar
Nor yet because it floats over hosts
of soldiers and mighty fleets. There
were soldiers and fleets before. Not.
therefore, because of it's new part in
the panoply of war.
1t means more to US because we
have put more into it. Because, af-
ter years of peace and plenty irr which
we thought of our flag chiefly as
something to protect and guard US,
we have in time of war and grief and
hardship learned to know our flag as
something for US to protect and guard
and serve.
A flag, in short, is as graet as it's
people-and no greater. When they
are great and generous and courage
Gus, it is great and beautiful and holy.
When they falter and haggle, their
flag. is less than nothing to them, as
to the world at large.
Ours to love and cherish and die for
in the greatest of causes! Therefore
source of pride and of deep emotion
to every American. That is the les
son we are learning in these days of
sacrifice and devotion, when a flying
