pleading guilty to the criminal charge
Of pursuing his engineering profession
abroad. and to Hodgson's query 'am /
a British subject: Did | ever apply for
such a citizenship:' the former food
administrator replied:
No, Many generations of prosecuted
Quaker ancestors would rise in their
graves at such discovery They would
remain quiet, however, for no Californian
could live three months in London climate
and become British citizen if he
knew it.
One thing he adde that treasures me
that this did not happen without my
knowledge is that the British refused
TO allow me to come into their island
during the war without an American
passport. Also, | feel that my accent

CANADA AGAINST
LENR0OT PLAN,
TREATY CHANGE
Opposed to Reservation
Which Cuts Vote in
Nations League.

Ottawa, Feb. in. ". Rowel. act
ing secretary of state for external af-
fairs, declared here. that Canada would
never consent to ratification Of the
peace treaty if the Lenroot reservation
was adopted by the United States
congress, either in its original form or
with the proposed amendment. He was
speaking before a mass meeting Of w1r
veterans.
The Lenroot reservation would de-
priye Canada of her independent voting
power in the league of nations, Mr..
Rowell said.
IF the United States senate should
adopt the Lenroot reservation, either in
its original form or amended as now
suggested, Canada, as one Of the
nations of the British empire and i
party to the treaty. would be called up
on to decide what action she should
take under these conditions. said he
There can be no possible doubt what
Canada's decision will be. She cannot
and will not consent to any impairment
of her status and voting rights under
the treaty.
Therefore, when final action Oh the
treaty is taken By the government Ct
the United States, if the ratification can
only become effective on Canada 5 as
sent thereto; the ratification cannot &C
into effect, so far us Canada is con-
cernea, as Canada will not give that
assent.
Canada has made her position per-
fectly clear to the proper authorities in
London, and she has asked them to make
her position clear to the authorities IN
Washington. We have done this in the
interest Of good understanding between
the United States and Canada ,"

so take GARAGE

Chicago, Feb. i5.-The enter
prising burgIarious person, who
stole hot stove, was forced out of
the !imelight by burglar or burglars
who, disappointed at not finding an
automobile they could steal, made
away with the garage. The Harris
Portable House company had set up
neat garage for exhibition pur-
poses during the recent automobile
show. One night a woman in an ad-
joining apartment noticed three re-
fined looking young men loading the
dismantled garage into wagon.
She asked if 1t was for sale and
they offered to SET it up in her back
yard for $500. Not having that much
cash on hand. she told them to call
next day, and meanwhile she would
consult her husband. The theft of
the garage was reported that after
noon and just to make the thing
good. the gentlemanly young thieves
returned the next night and carted
away the floor, which they had been
unable to get on their wagon the
first trip.
The posts upon which the struc-
ture rested are still there, but they
are frozen in tight. However. it is
expected they will disappear as Soon

to take liking to school work. So
they stay at home and work, the;'
work hard at young age, at a sac
rifice of their education. Such proce-
dure is not only violation of the
state child labor law. but an injus-

"Such neglect of the child is the

Mr.. H. E. Miles, chairman of the
Board of Industrial Education. Even
though the boy may not be at work
the entire year, they are out long
enough so that their school work for
the year is often practically lost.
They have to go to lower grade,
become discouraged when their class
mates forge ahead Of them, and few
go very far through school. The child
who is working, when he should be at
school, will be stuntei mentally, and
in the words of Mr.. Miles, "He will
become poor type of American citi-
zen" We need men and women who
are intelligent and have decent ed
ucation. Child labor takes this type of
citizen away from the country. "And
herein lies one Of the factors affect

enforcement of the child labor aw.
