Crude Rubber Prices Advance

The continued rise in sterling ex-
change led to further advances yester-
day in prices in the crude rubber mar
ket. Notwithstanding the large number
of prospective buyers. sales remained
small in volume because Of the reluctance
of sellers to part with their holdings at
even the high prices prevailing in yes
terday's market. 1T is believed in trad
ing circles that the present movement
will carry prices beyond the high record
for the year. Offerings of ribbed smoked
sheets sold as high as u \. cents yester-
day. The record price for the year is %

PERms OF ALLIGATOR HUNT.
Colonel Hernandez of Cuba Tells of
 Thrilling Experience.

Alligator hunting, always perilous. Is extremely exciting in Cuba, accord ing to a narrative of Colonel Charles Hernandez, close personal friend and associate of former President Menocal, whom he has accompanied on many hunting expeditions. At the Hotel McAlpin recently, Colonel Hernandez told of what he said was the most peTilous experience they ever had on their many hunting trips.
 ''In order to reach the lagoon where the quarry had been reported, the hunting party was compelled to climb other to avoid a muddy bath.'' said Colonel Hernandez. They came to open swamp beyond which they could see their objective, the a1ligator-in- would have been satisfied with this long range shooting but the President and slipped into the swamp with the idea of wading over to the lagoon. our shoulders, and were forced to hold our rifles above our heads as we waded.
 we had travelled into the swamp for some distance in this manner when suddenly, about fifty yards ahead of us. two alligators, apparently aroused by this invasion of their home, rose to the surface. We fired, our rifles nearly level with the water. My alligator turned over slowly, dead, but the Presidents lashed about, bad ly wounded, and sank below the sur face.
 While arguing as to whose bullet had slain the alligator now floating on the pond, the wounded reptile sud- denly appeared @ few yards ahead, swimming furiously toward the Presi- dent. It was impossible to shoot from the shoulder because the alligator was already within the shortest trajectory IOssiblie from that angle on account of the height of the water about our bodies. A lucky shot from the rifles held at an angle above our heads was the only escape from the predicament. We fired several times in this manner and succeeded in stoping the alligator only 6 few feet from the President

CLOTHES FOR CHILDREN. Simplicity is the Keynote in Making Them, Says College Woican.

Them, Says College Woman
 Simplicity is the keynote in making crhf1dren's clothing, according to Miss GerEruds ArbogaSt of the home eco of Wisconsin. Hooks and eyes bought by the yard or slip-over gar ments which eliminate buttonho1es ana short cuts which should appeal to the busy mother on the farm. Kim ono sleeves save time in sewing and are comfortable for the child.
 The simple dress need not be home Iy. Easy stitches, such as the feath CT Iazy-daisy worked around the edges of he7ns, make the dress at tractive. A sash and pockets often tra nsfig gure plain dress. An anil nal or a bird outlined with colored thread on the front of the dress is often sufficient decoration. A dress with some of the edges bound with blue and white checked goods, is both dainty and simple. Nothing is more practical than bloomers to match the wash dress
 A jumper dress for Winter can be made from an old serge dress. Wash waists to be worn with it might be of white goods made into a platn gllin1pe or trimmed with coaored ma teriai This dress is not only eco- nomical but is mora hygienic for the child than an au-serge dress.
 A serge niddy and plaited skirt is always popular with the oldsr girl and Is appropriate for school and Sun with the making of the dress. White middies can be substituted for the one of serge.
 The Tam-'O +Shanter must not be forgotten in planning the little girls outfit. This can be either ready made or made at home out of velvet Bright colors please the children and also Mven up their Winter coats.

CHILD LABOR ON T1IE FARM.
Mine and Factory Conditions are Re
 peated There. Saws a ReInort

peated There, Says a Report.
 Parsons who are under the impreS- sion that child labor is limited to employment for wages in factories,
 mines and stores are requested by the Nationa1 Child Labor Committee to change their opinion. The commit- tee, in a recent survey, contends that the farm, far from being the ideal
 environment for the child, is as evil
 an agent of exploitation as the fac
 tory or the mine. The report closes
 with the recommendation that the
 rural child labor problems must be
 solved by better schools and school
 attendance laws rather than rigid an
 ti-chiId EeboT laws.
 Kentucky, the report points out,
 comes very close to being 100 per
 cent American so far as its popula-
 tion is concerned, yet in this state
 more than 12 per cent. were classified
 as illiterate. Census figures for 1910
 shows that the foreign born in Ken
 lucky numbered only IS per cent. of
 about 4'56,00 pounds of tobacco, the
 report points out, yet fails to raise about one-eighth of it's annual crop of children to the point of ripenessc where they can read and write their own names.
 'Jn the southwestern part of the State. says the report "a certain ten
 ant Eves with his wife and family of
 five children, the oldest of whom is
 1 1 years of age; on a small farm, hav- ing had nine acres in tobacco and fourteen in corn last Summer. Last year was their first season on this place and they received one-ha1f of the crops in return for their labor. ''No hefp was hired. but the and 11year-cld sons worked with their father in the fields. Last Autumn when the school. in the vicinity was visited, their register showed that out of the sevenfy-four school days that had passed since the opening of the term early in July, these two boys had each missed forfty-five dayS- mone than two school months
 The report goes on to state that in the tobacco fields children common 1 ly work as many hours as grown per sons-from sunrise to sunset-p1ant- ing, hoeing, cultivatIng, worming,
 suckering, torping, cutting. sptking, | housing and stripping. Indeed the | only task in tobacco culture which children do not perform is firing, which is done in theb arn where the l crop is housed and requires the care l and judgment of an adult
 Examples such as those of frequent absence from school white the tobacco ] is in the making are cited, and the | writer continues that it Is not only the very poor among the tobacco rais- CTS who use their cflildren's labor to the detriment of their education. One l family, consisting of three sons and | as many daughters, all under fl Iiv- | ed in a residence characterized as l modern, substantial and handsome" 1"

DISAPPOINTED OVER TREATIES

The Hague. Nov. 22.-Foreign Min ister Karnebeek told the Netherlands Parliament the other day that Eng landJ Germany and Norway were greatly disappointed over the results
 their commercial treaties with Srssss- He said that Russian produc- Son was so unimportant that barter R7as impossible, that the economical conditions in Russia were getting worse and that the Russian gold sup ply was rapidly decreasing.
 The minister was skeptical about opening diplomatic relations with Russia, saying that the Soviet govern nent had never approached the Dutch government for recognition. This, he said. was natural because recognition would mean respect, by Russia for the Dutch government and they could hardly expect the Soviets to respect The Dutch form of government.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-11-22

Yet the teach CTS in the district school showed that the children were unable to pass from grade to grade because of their long absence from school due to work in the fields.
 Dr. Edward N. Chopper, who direct ed the study of child welfare in Ken lucky for the National Child Vel faro Committee defined child labor as ''the employment of child under IS years of age at any task, with or without pay, undr the direction or in- ! dependently of others, which de- prives hsm of proper amount of schooling, training, recreation and healthy developnent.''
