AMAZING
That Protection For Child
hood Must Be Asked For
of Congress, Says
G0mpers

Washington.-"I If the atttuae of
judiciary committee of the house Of
representatives, is a guide to congress
sional sentiment, we have a fight on
our hands" declared President Com
pers, chairman of the newly y-organized
permanent conference for the aboli-
tion of child labor, in giving his I'M
preston of the outlook for congress
sional action in the interest of the
elimination Of child labor for profit
after the committee hearing at which
President Gompers and other dele
gates to the national child labor con-
ference appeared to urge child labor
legislation
1T is amazing and astounding that
it should be necessary to ask congress
to protect childhood" continued Pres
ident Gompers Congress ought to
be eager to perform this duty. Ex-
pressions from members of the house
committee on the judiciary, however,
indicated much more of a desire to
find way out than to find way
through to success.
But congress viii get no rest The
issue is before the country. We are
prepared to fight the issue through
to conclusion that shall be final
and that shall at last bring freedom
to American childhood
There is no irony, no bitter sar-
casm sufficient to express the con
sternation and chagrin of an Amer
lean at the situation in which we find
ourselves.
I'VE must remedy this shameful
condition of affairs. We must make
exploitation of childhood a thing of
the past
practically every national organi-
zation interested in freedom and child
welfare is pledged to this great move
ment There can be no answer but
success; and my advice to a congress
which already has a suficiency of sins
to its discredit is not to obstruct this
measure of justice"

WONDERS
OF AME.RxC

BY TT. MAXEY
9. Western Newspaper Union.


This peculiar freak of nature
a. which has become one of Uncle
Sans National Monuments, is located
near Sundance in northeastern Wye
ming. 1t is gigantic rock, 900 feet
high, probably 60 feet in diameter at
the top and a mile around at the
base. Rising sheer from the level
plain, it is visible in some directions
for almost a hundred miles.
Undoubtedly this tower was useful
to primitive races as well as to early
pioneers as a landmark Tis thought
that during the subsequent Indian
wars members of the Sioux and Grow
tribes directed their marches by the
aid of fires and other signals flashed
from this ever-visible tower
AS one approaches this monstrous
rock, his amazement and awe in
creases, because it seems incredible
that any force of Nature could have
carved this solitary monument
To climb to the top would seem an
impossibility, yet it is said that a
number of years ago a man and a
woman accomplished this feat sue
cesSfully.
Now that the war is behind us and
Uncle Sam has more time to devote
to home matters, it seems not unlikely
that he may deem it advisable to
send an expedition to the top of his
new possession and cause a series of
stairways to be constructed for the
accommodation and convenience Of
venturesome tourists bent on getting
acquainted with their own country.

Lift my voice in lusty tone;

Trees and grass are showing greens

And go tramping down the road
Down the road between the trees,
Drinking deep the April breeze.
April now, and field and stream
Bathed in ApriPs golden gleam
Bid me up and haste away
Where the sunbeams dance and play.
Out from dusty, dreary mart,
Close to Mother Natures heart.
Out where springtime wakes anew
Meath the April sky OF blue.
April now, and songbirds wake
Echoes from each bough and brake
Green the grass beneath my feet,
Flowers spread their odors sweet;
Out across the field and fen,
Onward through the woodland glen
Where the long, black burrows lie
Meath the sheen of Aprils sky.
