Contending that the city manager
form OF government does not eradi-
cato the evils generally pointed out
in the present system. and that In
practice it generally proves even more
subject to boss" rule and the preva-
lence of graft. Carl H. Stubig. ex-com-
missioner Of Sandusky, O., urged the
citizens of Richmond to vote against
the adoption OF a city manager form
of government for Richmond in his
speech at the high school auditorium
Monday night
Mr.. Stubig was brought to Rich
mond under the auspices Of the anti
city-manager organization.
MIR. Stubig stated that the city man
ager form OF municipal government
had been a failure in virtually all the
Ohio cities where it had been tried.
and especially so in Sandusky, Akron
and Dayton He said that in FIVE Of
the IL cities in Ohio that had adopted
the plan efforts were being made to
change their charters in order that
they might return to the old mayor
and council form.

The speaker dealt particularly with
conditions in Sandusky. He stated
that there had been IL commissioners
and three city managers since, the
plan was inaugurated there six years
ago. He stated that the work of gov
eminent was carried on by three Of
the five commissioners elected, that
they met in secret sessions previous
to the public meetings and had all the
resolutions and ordinances ready to
be voted upon without discussion. He
stated that his resignation from the
commission was in the form of a pro-
test against this kind of government,
Many specific instances of poor gov
eminent in Sandusky were referred to
by Mr.. Stubig as the result of the city
manager plan.

CHILD LABOR LAWS
Different IN STATES

The legal standards adopted by the
various sta ties to protect children from
hazards of too early employment are
shown by a chart recently issued by
the United States department of labor
through the children's bureau.
In all except four states the mini
mum age for work, at least in factor
les and often in many other employ
ments, is placed as high as IA years.
and seven states have an age mini
mum Of Is or Is years Exemptions
exist in most of these states, but they
apply in many cases to children en-
ployed outside school hours or during
vacations.
Twenty-Five states have recognized
the eight-hour day standard for chill
dren under Is by prohibiting them
from working longer hours in certain
occupations or by extending this pro-
hibition to all gainful employments.
| usually, however, exempting house
work and work on farms. OF the 9TH
er states, nearly half limit the work
ing hours in the regulated occupa tions
to 81 or less a week. The 11-hour
day still exists in two states. with
weekly maximum of so hours. Forty
one states have some prohibition of
| night work applying to children un-
der is, and of these II prohibit such
| work without exemptions, except in
some cases for agricultural pursuits
and domestic service
Eighteen states. including some of
the principal industrial cities, require
child under Is to have physicians
certificate Of physical fitness before
he can obtain an employment certifi-
cate, and 10 others permit the certifi-
cate-issuing officer to impose this re-
quirement in his discretion.
For work in mines the general mini
mum age standard is 16, but 10 states
still permit the employment of boys
IA years of age, and six have no mini
mum age for such work.
/ The chart is compiled from the laws
in force in the various states January

DIVORCE EVIL SHOWS
INCREASE IN LONDON
(By Associated Press)


LONDON. May 24.-Divorces are in.
creasing at great rate here. and So
too. according to Judge Darling, are
the "shyster methods" as they are
sometimes termed in America, where.
by some divorces are obtained Judge
Darling is one of the veterans of the
bench who has just recently had to
tackle divorce cases, in addition to
his regular judicial work, in order to
cope with the growing demand for
the untying of nuptial knots
I'VE know perfectly well that an
enormous proportion Of the undefend.
ed cases in the divorce court are
merely collusive," said Judge Darling
Men know as well as l do that those
letters My dear Billy, do return to
your loving Kitty. are composed in
solicitors offices. Everybody knows
it, only it is presumed that the judge
in the divorce court does not. OF
course. he does.
Judges who had retired are drag
ged back instead of being able to en-
joy their old age in comfort because
there are not enough judges to deal
with these cases. And what wonder
when people can come into the divorce
court and treat it in this fashion,"
He added that what people looked
for most in the newspapers were the
licensees of every adulterer who
could be snapshotted coming out OF
the courts.
