j. S. SUPERVISION
OF CHILD LABOR
Re-established by Regulations
by Revenue Bureau
THE LAW WILL BE ENFORCED
It Is The Purpose OF The Bureau To
Strictly Enforce The Statute
No Injustice To EN-
pioyes.

Washington.-Fed supervision OF
child labor, abolished when the SUI
preme Court last year declared uncon-
stitutionaI the existing Child Labor
Law, was re-established under regula-
lions issued by the Internal Revenue
Bureau putting into effect the new
revenue acts tax on child labor prod
ucts.
The regulations interpret various
provisions of the law, which levies
a tax of 10 per cent. on net profits OF
any concern employing children un-
der the specified ages. After April
Is, when the new act becomes fully
effective, the tax will be assessed on
the profits of any mine or quarry
in which children under 16 years of
age are employed, or any mill, can
merry, workshop or factory in which
children under IA years are employed
at any time of the year. Boys and
girls canning clubs recognized by the
Department of Agriculture are ex-
empted. A child labor law tax di-
vision, with a force of inspectors, will
be organized in the Internal Revenue
Bureau to administer the new law.
while it is the purpose of the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue strictly to
enforce the law" said an announce
ment today, ''its aim is to administer
its provisions in a way to cause as lit
tie inconvenience as possible to the
business world and to offer no injus-
tice to employees. 1t is the intention to
accept in confirmation of the age of
the child, with certain restrictions as
to revocation and suspension, the age
certificate, working or employment
certificate or permit, or other similar
permit issued under the laws of the
State. In some States where adequate
laws do not exist this will not be
feasible. These States are probably
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas. The
plan is that federal agents are to visit
localities in such States where estab-
lishments employ child labor and is
sue the certificates in person"
The law provides that in none of
the industries within scope of the law
children within the age limits may
work more than eight hours day
or more than six days week, or be-
fore A. NJ or after p. M. with
out assessment of the tax. The first
taxable period is between April 25
and December 81 this year, and the
first return need not be made until
March / next year. For corporations
operating on fiscal year different
from the calendar year the return
must be made on the first day of the
third month following the close of
the fiscal year.

New Subway Alarm.

A tunnel of the Metropolitan rail-
way, in London, which much of the
time is filled with smoke or steam. has
been equipped for its 2,200 feet of
length with an iron tube for giving
notice Of the approach of trains, the
tubes to be agitated so as to produce
a noise. by means of treadles, and be-
ing so arranged that it can be out OF
service when no men are at work in
the tunnel. It was found that horns
or gongs could be heard not over 700
feet in clear atmosphere and a much
shorter distance when the atmosphere
was filed with smoke or steam. A

PREMIER ORLANDO
LEAVES FOR HOME
Big Four Discuss Prestige In
VOWED in Wilson Statement
CRISIS is STILL ACUTE.
Goes To Rome To Present The situa-
tlon To The Government And Decide
On Final Action--Neither Side
Shows Signs OF Receding.

Paris ~ Vittorio Orlando, Italian
premier, has delayed his intended de-
parture for Rome long enough again
to sit in conference with the other
members of the council of four
Premier Lloyd George, Premier Glenn
enceau and President Wilson.
The knotty question regarding
Fiume and the Dalmatian coast, over
which the council is at odds, did not
come up for discussion, only. questions
of principle being taken up. Two
hours were taken up in the council,
which was believed to have consid-
cred fully the question Of prestige in
volved in the publication, of President
Wilson's statement on the Italian sit
uatiOn.
While Signor Orlando is returning
Immediately to Italy, there to lay
details of the Peace Conference be-
fore Parliament, Baron Zonnio, Italian
foreign minister, and the other Ital-
ian representatives will temporarily
remain in Paris.
The situation as regards Italy's
claims is still acute. There apparently
has been no recession by the Italians
from their stated terms, nor is there
any indication that the British and
French premiers and President Will
son have receded from their stand.
Signor Orlando has replied to the
statement Of President Wilson with
regard to the Italian situation. He
says the President expressed his
"own thought on one of the grayest
problems which has been submitted
to the Judgment of the conference"
while the Italian delegation was dis
GUESSING counter-propositions on 1taly's
claims.
The statement of the Premier con-
tends that, in addition to the safety
Of Italy on the front of the Alps, his
country requires protection on, her
flank along the eastern Adriatic and
that the people along the Dalmatian
Coast should be permitted to have the
right of self-determinatio in the mat
ter of Italian sovereignty.

Paris.-President Wilson's emphatic
declaration that he will not yield on
the Adriatic question has created the
most profound sensation in the Peace
Conference. He has thrown down the
gauntlet to the supporters of secret
treaties in a manner which almost
took away the breath of the delegates
who have been urging compromises
on points covered by many secret
documents and at variance with the
Presidents fourteen points.
President Wilson's sweeping decla-
ration, while aimed directly at the
Adriatic problems, also reaches the
Kiau Chau controversy, in which
Japan relies upon secret agreements
made with Great Britain, France and
Italy in 1917 to support her in her
claim to the concessions held by Ger
many in Shantung.
The peace delegates generally re-
gard President Wilson's statement
as challenge which once for all will
dispose of the question whether secret
documents, of which many nations
participating in the war were igno-
rant, are to figure in the peace follow
ing an armistice in which all the Allies
pledged gave no regard to secret
treaties.
When it became known that the
Italian Premier, Vittorio Orlando, was
again absent from the session of the
Council of Four, various rumors be-
came current. Signor Orlando re-
NAMED at italian headquarters, but
messengers carried him many notes.
Proposals and contemporaries
were made between the members of
the British, French and Italian dele
cation, and rumors of compromises
were circulated These were sudden
ly discredited by the issuance of Pres.
ident Wilson's statement, showing
that the President was not party to
the proposed concessions, which were
chiefly based ON the superstition that
Fiume could be given to Italy.
The idea, which had been prevalent
in Paris, that the Adriatic situation
was game of chess, in which the
most skillful diplomats would win, re-
CARELESS of the armistice condition,
was suddenly banished by President
Wilson's action.

ITALY 70 USE FORCE.
100000 Troops Will Occupy Disputed
Dalmatian Coast.

Paris.--Italian military forces will
occupy that part of Dalmatia and other
Adriatic territory named in the pact Of
London with about 100000 men, it
was stated by Captain Pozzie, of
Premier Orlando's staff A similar
force, the Captain added, would be
sent to the northern region and
around Fiume.
Premier Orlando's course in the
meantime, Captain Pozzie says, would
be to convoke Parliament in special
session and secure from the body the
passage of a measure providing for
the annexation of the Dalmatian and
other eastern Adriatic territory given
to Italy by the London agreement, and
also of Fiume.
Reports have been received, the
Captain added, that military demon
Rtration by the Jugo-Slavs at Spalato
was contemplated, in which event the
Italians would take proper counter
measures. ~
The situation in Fiume is compli-
Gated by the fact that the town as the
headquarters of the Allied Army of the
Orient contains French and British
as well as Italian troops. A one-sided
Italian occupation of Fiume, it is be-
lieved, would Immediately provoke a
diplomatic and military issue with the
European Allies.

BIGGER men NAMED
BY THE GERMANS
Accept Conference Conditions
Made BY Allies
A CHANGE IN THE PROGRAM
German Delegation To Versailles viii
Comprise Six High Personases
With The Foreign Minister
At The Head.

Paris.-The Allies have been notl-
fed by Germany that she accepts all
the Allied conditions respecting the
Versailles Congress.
Germany will send the following
delegates to the Versailles Congress
with full powers to negotiate. Count
Won Brockdorff-Rantzau, Foreign Min
lister; Herr Landsberg. Secretary Of
Publicity, Art and Literature; DR..
Theodore Melchoir, general manager
Of the Warburg Bank; Herr Leinert,
President of the Prussian Assembly
and of the National Soviet Congress;
Herr Ginsberg, Minister of Posts and
Telegraphs,. and Herr Schuecking.
In all, the German party will num-
Der rs. The arrival of the delegates
cannot be expected before April %.
Although the Peace Conference ap-
parently was taken by surprise by the
announcement of Germany's intention
to send small delegation to Yer
sailles to receive the text of the
treaty, the plan is really old, and Ber-
lin and Weimar dispatches of the As
sociated Press more than month ago
indicated that the German delegates
would not have power to make final
decisions.
The determination of the German
Foreign Office was based on misap-
prehension of the program for the
initial meeting Of the German pleni-
potentiaries with the representatives
Of the Peace Conference. 1t had been
understood through press statements
that at the first meeting the German
delegates merely would be handed the
text of the treaty, but would not be
permitted to discuss its terms and
would be sent back to Germany to
confer with the Government and the
National Assembly, returning after a
stipulated interval to Versailles for
the actual discussions.
Under the circumstances, as Count
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau explained to
the Associated Press, the German Gov
eminent considered it unnecessary to
send the entire peace delegation
more than 100 persons, headed by six
plenipotentiaries-t Versailles mere
Iy to receive the draft and return to
Berlin with it, and would therefore
send smaller delegation and later
proceed to Versailles for the actual
discussions and the signature for the
treaty.

Author of alcohol, Its Influence on
Mind and Body" and Bathing
for Health"

Ever since the Indians passed the
information along to our old Puritan
fathers and their equally puritanical
wives, we, in America, have acknowt-
edged that corn is a wonderfully nu-
tritious and sustaining food.
1t is only within recent years, how
ever, that we have come to realize
that the oil in the germ of corn. hith-
erto regarded as by-product, is one
of the most valuable of all the ingre-
dents of the corn.
For recent experiments have prov
ed that corn oil, pound for pound is
one of the most readily converted
and assimilated fats, and that is has
very high nutritive qualities by reason
of this fact.
Corn oil is true made-in-Ameri-
ca" product, inasmuch as it's use has
been confined largely to America
although it is quite conceivable that
before many years, there will be a

abroad-especially in the British
Isles, in all the northern countries
of Europe, and perhaps, even in the
olive-growing countries themselves.
Better than Olive Oil
Corn oil has unique qualities,
which give it a great advantage over
olive oil IA many respects. For one
thing, its meme of Pr? ration pre-
sc.Nos it from rancidity to which Oh
lla Gil is so liabls, for fermentation

Olive oil, as is generally known, is
merely the oil pressed from ripe OIL

finement or sterilization SO there is
nothing, once the oil has been ex-
posed to the air-and even before for
that matter-to prevent the action

degrees, goose grease at four hun
dred degrees, lard at four hundred
and twenty-five degrees, cotton-seed
oil at five hundred and thirty-five
degrees, and olive oil at six hundred,
corn oil does not burn until it is
heated up to six hundred and fifty
degrees Farenheidt.
1t is the low burning point of but
ter, lard, and other fats and oils,
that fills the house with smoke and
stencil, and gives all the neighoors
wireless information as to what the
--.---2,iy IS 60 have for dinner.
Keeps the Food- juices Sealed in
The great advantage of a higher
burning point, in frying steak, fish,
onions, and other odoriferous foods,
is that the higher temperature used
with corn oil, makes it possible to
cook the food in shorter space of
time, and thereby prevents the
toughening of the meat, the drying
out of tn efish and the diffusion of
the perfumes not of Araby from 9TH
er comestibles.
Also the use of corn oil at its
unusually high temperatures "seals
in" Immediately the surface juices
of the food, retaining thereby the fla
vor, aroma, and succulence, which
would otherwise be lost or else dis
seminated all over the neighborhood.
The food is cooked in it's own juice
instead of being saturated with
burnt grease that would give the
food flavor and odor anything but
desirable.
This makes it possible to fry
doughnuts, fish, onions, or any other
God product in one pan, and at one
time-if it We're necessary-without
any one product taking up the cd
ors or flavors of any of the other
products.
This is carrying American eff

also for the increase of happiness and
the satisfaction of being alive.

GENUINELY AMERICAN PRODUCT, CORN
OIL, FAST COMING INTO GENERAL USE

velopment Of rancidity.
With corn oil, on the contrary,
great care is taken to insure thorough
sterilization The crude, yellow oil
expressed from the corn germs, is
purified by filtration and steaming.
Then the water, protein substances
and glycerine elements, are removed.
In the oil thus sterilized, any germs
that may have dropped around are
killed. Further, the oil is deodorized
and the ferments which later on
might cause rancidity are completely
destroyed.
The result is a limpid, clear, light
yellow coIored oil-odorless, and with
peculiar and agreeable sweet flavor
that satisfies a natural taste. For
unlike the taste for olives or olive
oil, the liking for corn oil does not
have to be acquired 1t comes right
along, and makes itself "to home
with American palates, anyhow.
In mixing salad dressing it has
been found that corn oil is equal to
| the best olive oil, and very much
better than ordinary olive oil-and at
cost not to exceed one-half the
cost of the highest grade of imported
olive oil. Indeed, many discriminating
South-Europeans, including Italians,
now prefer the sweet bland corn oil
to olive oil.
| Corn oil blends perfectly with the
various ingredients used in "build-
ing" French or mayonnaise dress
ing-making a perfectly smooth and
homogeneous combination.
One interesting fact in connection
with this use of corn oil is that corn
oil does not CONCEAL as readily as
does olive oil 1t remains fluid down
to temperature of fourteen degrees;
whereas olive oil becomes cloudy and
solidifies at temperature of thirty
two degrees. This makes very
great difference for crisp GOODNESS
is one of the first requisites of sal
ad.
But an even more desirable prop
erty in corn oil is its corresponding
higher burning point. While butter
burns at about two hundred and fifty
