CHILD LABOR
IS REDUCED
Decrease Of More Than 40 Per Cent
Under New Law

Child labor has decreased more than
40 per cent since the child labor tax
provision of the revenue act went into
effect April 20 last. This act levied a
tax of 10 per cent on the net earnings
Of plants employing children under IA
years or between "A and 16 for more
than eight hours in the production of
commodities entering into interstate
commerce.
Reports Of internal revenue bureau
agents, it is announced, indicate that
the greatest decrease has occurred in
the cotton mill industry of the south
ern states where, it is said, more than
IS per cent of the mills nov are oper-
ating on a basis that exempts them
from the tax. Marked reduction in
child labor also vas reported, it was
said, in the coal mining and canning
industries. Many plants, particularly
cotton mills, have discharged all chill
dren under 16 years Of age, the report
said, rather than adjust the operation
to an eight-hour day.

Communism Was Tried Out
Centuries Ago by Little
Republic in Central Asia

In the heart of Asia centuries ago
Manchu merchants discovered three
large auriferous regions which the Pc
kin government Immediately claimed
by forcing thousands Of laborers to
work the mines. Most of these men,
when possible, fled and hid in the
mountains and forests surrounding
them. AS the government kept refill
ing the deserted ranks the colony in
the hills also grew and formed it.
self into a federation, whose leaders
were to protect the lives and supply
the means Of livelihood for the rest.
This little republic was founded
upon the shores of the River Centunga,
and is the earliest communist expert
ment known. All the fruits of labor
and production were for common use.
It was absolutely prohibited that any
one withhold from the commune any
part Of the gold which all were occu-
pied in mining; 1t was placed to the
credit of the whole colony and depos-
tied with the association, to be used
for anyone in need. Everyone had to
work to his utmost capacity, and char
ity or begging was unknown.
Any disobedience to the laws was
punishable by death. This sentence
was pronounced by a committee Of
twenty-five, elected by universal suf-
frage, as well as two judges and the
two presidents of the commune.

lS-

Don't feed the chickens in a dirty,
filthy place.
1t pays to watch the flock closely In
the fall, winter and early spring.
Clean the floors of the hen houses
every few days; don't allow the trash
to accumulate.
Perhaps some hens and pullets
would be much better layers if they
could select their owners.
Leghorns at 5h months, and the
larger breeds of Rocks and Reds at
61A months, will begin egg production.
1t is much more economical and re-
sultful to feed a variety of feeds to
poultry, than it is to depend on one
or two grains.
Chemists find that eggs simply are
water, protein and ash and that more
than one-half the egg is water, so it
Is apparent that sufficient water Is
a necessary consideration.

wind?
The same that rocked the cradle of the
May,
That whispered through the leaves Of
summer noon,
And swelled the anthem of the full
grown year?
Art thou the same, thou piteous, moan

Beating against the pane with ghostly
hands,
Wailing in agony across the waste
Art thou the same-the same?
Art thou the same, thy poor heart
bruised and faint,
Treading thy way along through twi-
light gloom?
Art thou the same that sang to greet
Caroling in the sunlight like a bird,
Too glad for speech, too glad for aught
but song?
Art thou the same tina prayest but for
night,
For night to come and ease thee Of thy
Art thou the same-the same?
Thou winter wind that wailest through
Thou broken heart too crushed to moan
or cry,
There will be rest even for ye, poor
thing,
And more than rest-a joy new washed
in tears;
For through the portals of the fading
year
Lie sunny hills and fields fresh-clad In
green,
And after night who knows what day
may bring?
And We unchanged. the same-the same?

Methods of Education Too

Everyone admits that the methods
of modern education are far from per-
feet; that the whole system is too
much a examining process, too little
that Heading forth of the individual
mind which is implied in the etymol-
ogy Of the word, declares a writer.
Too often the creative Imagination of
the child is not only not developed-it
is deliberately snubbed and stifled.
And even his critical faculty is dis
couraged by the average teachers au-
thoritative attitude, which repeats day
after day: "Your opinion is of no i'm

their opinion"

@, which Is water tight. D is a lamp
below the pan G and should be regu-
lated so the oats in the lower drawer
will not get warmer than So or 90
degrees. The oats should be watered
each morning and night, with warm
water.
The four holes in the side furnish
ventilation for the lamp. In one
week the sprouts will be three to four
inches high, and may be fed. Begin
with the lower drawer, and after feed
ing the contents refill with oats from
the pail e in which they have been
soaking for "a hours. Move the other
drawers down and put the last one
filed on top. I find one feed every
other day to be enough.

Satisfied with my mission and conf
dent nothing more need be said, I
arose to my feet.
"Then We can do nothing further
until I learn the disposition of the
crew." I said quietly. "Estade is not
likely to resort to extreme measures
at present. That is why I believe you
are comparatively safe now-his own

II will see you again?"
Perhaps not here; it is too danger
Gus; but l will find means to commu-

We stood with hands clasped In the
darkness. I thought she was going
to speak again, but the words failed
to come. Then suddenly, silently the
door opened a mere crack, letting in q

She lifted her eyes, searching my
face through the dim light.

Woman Physician Asserts
Carriers Prove Injurious

Here's another theory of a woman
physician. Savages develop a better
race than do civilized nations-because
savages do not wear garters. DR.. Au-
gusta Rucker Of New York made this
claim recently before the international
conference Of woman physicians, held
in New York. She condemned chill
dren's garters and elastic shoulder
straps, at the same time urging looser
clothing for women, and theeabolish-
ing Of pointed toed shoes and high
