EDUCATION LAWS TOO LOOSE
chlldrens Bureau Of United States
Department Of Labor Deplores
Some Exemptions Allowed.

Every state now has a compulsory
day school attendance law, according
to information recently furnished by
the United States Department of La
Dor through the children's bureau. The
bureau has just completed an analysis
of education laws affecting child labor,
the results of which are published In
chart entitled Estate Compulsory
School Standards Affec the En-
ployment Of Minors
In five states attendat ) required
until eighteen years Of age, In two
of these In certain districts only; In
three until seventeen; and In thirty
two until sixteen. One state requires
attendance until fifteen, six others and
the District of Columbia until four
teen, and one state requires attendance
until the age OF twelve years, but
applies this to illiterates only.
Unfortunately, says the bureau, the
exemptions in the majority of states
are so numerous that they greatly lin
it the application Of the law. The
most common exemptions are for EN-
ployment or upon completion of
specified school grade. Four states
specifically exempt for work In agri-
cultural pursuits, three with no age pro-
vision Laws of fourteen other states
contain loosely worded provisions ex-
emptng child at any age, which
might be used to cover absence for
farm work as well as for many other
purposes. Several states exempt
child whose services are necessary for
the support of himself or others, with
out any age or educational provision.
The amount of attendance required
Is still unsatisfactory In many states,
several demanding only II, IS, or 20
weeks in year. Even In states
where city children must attend for
eight or nine months, the amount Of
attendance required In rural school
districts is sometimes considerably less.

HAD MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS LOOK
Washington Correspondent Tells u
Joke Played by Senators on
Veteran Capitol Barber.


One Of the most remarkable things
afOut men, be they Of high or low es-
tate, Is that they never grow up.
Take for instance, that group OF o.
der statesmen In the United States
senate. Here Is the trick they were
caught playing on Sims, the old negro
barber at the capitol, who has been
shaving them and their kind for forty
years.
Sims Is a preacher and great Bibli-
cal authority when he Is not shaving
senators. He Is profoundly religious.
He has confidence in his fellows.
So. when Senator Harry New OF In
diana told Sims that he had present
for him, the venerable barber walked
into the trap all unsuspecting.
The senator said he wanted to b.
stow his present In private. He and
Sims went into an anteroom. The SEN
ator sQuatted down and Sims did like
wise. The senator took from his peck
ct a large-sized pair Of dice and rolled
them out on the carpet. Sims watched.
At this moment group OF sena'
tors, In the plot with New, burst Into
the room. There, apparently, were Sen
ator New and the old barber, despite
his protestatiOns of religion, shooting
craps. The statesmen were Mortified.
An employee of the senate had been
caught gambling. Sims, of all men,
had gone wrong after forty years;
Sims, whom they trusted implicitly. It
was u case that called for drastic &C
tion.-Phlladelphia Public Ledger.

HORSES ABLE TO TELL TINE
oteeds Hired by the Hour Good Judges
of Distance, According to This
Stable Manager.

4
A rider needs strong hand and @
flrm seat to ride the hired horses of q
certain suburban riding academy when
be attempts to 60 beyond an hours
distance from the stable, according to
the New York Sun. The rates are So
for two hours, and the horses have be-
come so accustomed to going one hour
out and one back that when the first
hour Is reached and the rider does not
turn back toward the stable his horse
insists upon doing It for him.
Beyond this first hour, If the rider
till wishes mistakenly or extrava-
gantly to ride still farther away from
the stable, he will have to fight his
horse every twenty-five or thirty yards
as the horse attempts to turn back,
and there will be no further Joy in the
ride. If he complains to the manager
of the stable, the manager will be
politely regretful If the rider Is a
stranger, or he will tell him the honest
truth II the rider Is an old acquain-
lance.
II get so many inexperienced
riders" the manager will tell you,
land they have no sense of direction
and keep no track of the time, and II
II were not for the good sense of the
horses the riders would either lose
themselves in the countryside or would
perhaps realize at some point that
their limit was nearly up and then
would come laundering In with winded
and steamlng horses.
"These horses manage the ride them
selves and the riders have very little
to do with IT," said the stable manager,
"and In that way they protect the
riders, they protect themselves and
they protect me-"
