Child Labor Law Again Found Unconstitutional

.YUDGE JAMES E. BOYD. Of the Western Fed
erai district Of North Carolina has again de-
clared the Federal child labor law to be uneon-
y stitutonal. This decision was rendered in, the
case OF the Vivian Spinning Mills, OF Cherrydale' N.
C., who asked an order restraining the collector OF
internal revenue from collecting the 10 per cent tax
owed to the government under the Federal child Ia
Dor law. This law, passed by Congress In 1919 and
sponsored by the national child labor committee I'M
poses a 10 per cent tar profits derived from the
products OF any mine, quarry. mill. cannery, work
thop factory or manufacturing establishment employ
ing child labor, and limits the hours Of employment
OF children under I6
Three years ago Judge Boyd declared the Keat-
ng-Owen child labor law unconstitutional and his
decision was upheld by the Supreme Court. This is
the second time he has attacked the constitutionaty
of the present Federal child labor law the FIRST time
being when he upheld the Atherton Mills in their
employment Of a boy under l6 for more than eight
hours a day. This first is now waiting hear
ing before the Supreme Court
Judge Boyd's decision only affects the children OF
the Western judicial district of North Carolina. 1t
is left for the Supreme Court of the United States
to determine the lot of the children OF other parts OF
the country.

Use of Wireless Telephones.

fully established by the Forest Service of the De-

Idaho and the Moore Forest Ranger Station on the

The sets for this satisfactory installation were sent to
Idaho about year ago. They were first given
try-out between Ogden and Salt Lake, distance OF
thirty-seven miles. The set proved to be in GOOD
working condition and tested again between Salt

SNOW FALLS RED

Red snow which has made its appearance in
many sections of the Rocky Mountain National

from the thousands of tourists who have visited
this national playground
The red snow is to the best advantage

road which crosses the Continental Divide reach

Many are the explanations offered by tourists and
those who have the snow at about twilight

To Sort War Checks.

THOUSANDS of claims OF war veterans are beng
i held up for adjustment in their pay because
checks issued in payments during the war period
havs been sorted and classified it was stated last
week a. the Comptroller Generals Office. The work
is being rushed by special squad of clerks, so that
prompt action may be taken the veterans claims
1t is estimated that four months will be required to
sort the checks and the result is expected to show
that many soldiers did not receive all the compensa-
ton to which they entitled during the war.
Investigation has developed that there are many
thousands of claims awaiting the sorting of these
checks which have been piled up in filing room
and never touched since they used. The work
of sorting will only involve the handling of these
millions of checks but will necessitate the calling in
of all check books used during the war, so the claim
adjusters may have the complete record, by eonsecu
tive number, OF every check issued during the war
period.

Panama Canal Report.

preponderance of traffic in direction, but since
the difference is sometimes side and some
times the other, the total approach balance.
In connection with the work OF the COMMITTEES

families in some high altitude the Governor has ap-
proved the recommendation OF the committee that
the Panama Canal should limit its endeayors to pro-
curing low rates possible to Costa Rca or other
places where may be desirable to spend vacations
and encouraging the local authorities such places
to make their proper provisions in the way Of ac-
commodations and sanitation. This recommendation
was made in view of the fact that seems imprac-

LARGEST ELM IN AMERICA
West Virginia Conceded to Have the
Choicest Specimen, Though Others
= Are Close Second.

In an attempt to locate the monarch
OF all American elms, the American
Genetic association discovered few
years ago what is now thought to be
the largest specimen Of ulmus ameri
cana in existence. The trunk of this
giant measures 33 feet in circumfer.
ence. A remarkable record for one
small seed! It reached these colos
sal proportions in the soil of West
Virginia.
According to tree experts an elm
almost equally large has since been
found at Rathbone, Ohio. 1t measures
80 feet In girth and has spread of
1855 feet. It has five limbs as large
as ordinary trees branching out from
the main trunk. The age of this
majestic specimen is estimated at from
500 to 700 years. ii
A record quite as remarkable ia
accredited to "The Great Elm" OF
Wethersf1eld, Connecticut This tree
reached the enormous dimensions of
2S feet in girth and 100 feet In height
at the estimated age Of $50 years.
