Keeping Children in School

Every state now has compulsory day school
attendance law, according to information recently
furnished by the United States department of
labor 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 "State Compulsory
School Standards Affecting the Employment of
Minors" --...a4a.e-.--s...
In five states attendance is required until Is
years of age; in two of these certain districts
only; in three until II; and in 80 until 16. One
state requires attendance until Is; six others
and the District of Columbia until IA, and one
state requires attendance until the age of II
years, but applies this to iliterates only.
Unfortunately, the exemptions in the major
ity of states are so numerous that they greatly
limit the application of the law. The most COM
mon exemptions are for employment, or upon
completion of specified school grade. Four
states specifically exempt for work in agricul-
tural pursuits, three with age provision. The
laws of IA other states contain loosely worded
provisions exempting child at any age, which
might be used to cover absence for farm work
as we'll as for many other purposes. Several
states exempt a child whose services are neces-
sary for the support of himself or others, without
any age or educational provision.
The amount of attendance required is still
unsatisfactory in many states, several demand
ing only r. 16 or 20 weeks in year. Even in

Not a Real Test

The bombing of a German submarine off the
Virginia capes few days ago affords no real
test of the effectiveness of air machines against
hostile craft of this kind. If the submarine
had been able to direct shots against the air
planes the chances are that some of the attack
er would have received as much damage as did
the U-boats. What might happen in actual war
fare is therefore still matter of speculation
among aerialists and artillery experts
The test showed what military men have
known for long time, namely, that bombers
can hit stationary objects below them with fair
degree of accuracy, provided nothing prevents
tim from flying low enough. If an alert enemy
maintains active Defense the chances for
effective work are greatly diminished. The ex-
perience of the Germans in trying to bomb Lon
don proved conclusively that vigorous defense
forces airrnen to fly so high that they cannot
pick out target and always do tremendous dam
age
The experience of the war showed that flyers
are effective for certain kinds of work and are
absolutely essential to the success of an army.
No one disputes that point, but the test off the
Virginia capes cannot be accepted as nlustra-
ton of what flyers might do to protect our coast
line from invasion by hostile force.
The real test will come when flyers try to
sink a submarine manned by men who are
capable of using anti-aircraft guns and are per-
mitted to naneuver their craft with the same
freedom that was accorded the flyers few days
ago. 1t is easy to hit motionless boat, but
different matter to try to hit a moving craft
armed with defenses for protection against aerial
attackers

Answers to Questions

MRS. B. B. C.-Who was it that
first used the expression Peace at
any price? think that it was one Of
the leading English statesmen. Am
right The phrase Peace at any
price appears to have been first used
prominently in political discussion by
a German, F. Won Cent?, more than
100 years ago. The bitter words were
leveled by this man against the sup
posed pacidst leanings of the Duke Of
Wellington, only three months before
the Battle of Waterloo. Sir Robert
Peel felt the burden of the jibe in
1880, when he declared that no man
realized more than he did the immor-
ality of war, but he doubted the wis
dom of a declaration that at any
hazard" there must be peace. Fifty
years later Lord Bcaconsield made
free use of the term TO denounce his
opponents over the Afghan War.

Rippling Rhymes
SIMMERtNG SUMMER
BY WALT MASON

Again the summer is at hand, when
talk of crops will fill the land. The
farmer. with a gloomy frown, will
grumble when he goes to town, and
say the weather then on deck is ruin
Gus to him. by heck. And if l greet
him with a smile, and say, Such
weather's worth our while" he'll
look upon the smiling morn, and say
It's killing all the corn. If we don't
soon have lots of rain our seasons
toll will be in vain" And if l praise
the passing wind he shows how griev-
ously it's sinned. That tipping, ever
lasting breeze has spoiled my crop of
early peas. Doggone the wind that
never stops: we need calm weather
for the crops" There was a heavy
with wierd delight; ana when l
looked around at dawn it seemed that
diamonds strewed the lawn" Whereas
the farmer makes reply, The sum-
mer nights should all be dry. The
dew that makes you feel so gay has
spoiled for me nine tons of hay. Said
hay was drenched as though by rain;
the sight of it gives me pain. And
thus all summer do we hear the hus-
a dman's predictions predictions
drear; whatever weather is on tap
gives willies to the mournful chap;
and vet when autumn comes along his
bank account is good and strong. his
barns are full Of priceless oats, and
he has corn to fatten shoats, and all
his hens are laying eggs. and he
should dance on buoyant legs.

Good Evening
Nv Roy <. MOULTON

Ode to a Mosquito
o winged monster.
Z Terror of the night,
Your constant buzz,
7 Your aggravating bite
Makes sleep impossible
And comfort slight
Elusive as the phosphorus
Upon the breaking wave,
As cunning as the fox
And twice as knave.
O tell me, tiny pest,
Can't you behave?
And as the preying tiger leaps
Upon the unsuspecting deer.
You wing your way about
And lightly land upon my ear;
But though | swat and cuss
You Show no fear.
Tonight, thou bug,
I'll get you once for all, -
And e'er the morn
Brings forth the walking call
Your carcass shall be
Spattered on the wall.
All, then shall | rejoice
On your decease;
For when your dev'lish
Night maraudings cease ee.
I'll find at last
Contentment, comfort, peace.

BY HIS NEIGHBORS
They Endore Him

Victor A. Jordan, the prominent
young lawyer who lives on a farm
near Barbourville, Ky, and who is
held in such high esteem by all his
neighbors in his home community,
has measured up to their expecta-
tions in his race for County Attor-
ney of Knox County and has far ex-
ceeded them in some instances, in
so much that it is predicted from all
reports pouring in from all over the
county that he is a sure winner IN
the race for County Attorney and If
his majority still increases until the
election he will have a landslide at
the polls.
II Is the rumor in his section of
the County that he will carry the
largest vote ever polled for any man
In county race. He is that type OF
a gentleman who not only lives for
himself, but takes pleasure in liv-
ing for the betterment of the Com
munity and for others, and is al
ways found to be the same humble,
law-ahiding, sober. discreet citizen
every time you meet him. He is not
the man who feels himself above
any one, and If elected to the Office
which he seeks, all can feel free to
enter his Office and talk to him con-
corning any business, as he will take
pleasure and time to advise any and !
all who may come. He did his bit |
during the war by filling out and ex-
ecuting hundreds of sionaires
free OF charge, and contributing free
ly to the Red Cross and other char
liable orders, and also by buying
War Saving Stamps and Bonds. He
has secured for the soldier boys,
Civil War veterans, widows and Or
phans numerous positions, allot-
ments and allowances. !
