New Child Labor Law

Richmond, Va, July 10.-The Cen
eral Assembly of 1922 enacted more
legislation for the care and protection
of children and child life than at any
previous session in the history OF the
Commonwealth. Notable among the
more progressive acts are the follow
ing, which provide, in part, Tor the
establishment of county boards OF pub
lie Welfare and for the extension OF
the Juvenile Court System to the
counties and smaller cities OF the
State. Section y, Chapter los, Acts
OF 1922, reads as follows;
The circuit court OF each county OF
the State, or the judge thereof III va
cation, shall, ana the corporation or
hustings court, or the Judge thereof
in vacation, of each city OF the nrSt-
class, may appoint, from a list OF chg
ibles submitted by the State Board OF
Public " eItare, 4 county or city board
OF public welfare consisting of not less
than three, nor more than seven men,
bers, preferably the latter number.
1t is made the duty of this Board to
keep itself fully advised as to the con-
dition and management OF all lnstltu-
tions OF u penal or eleemoSynary ma
ture in its county or city, and to in
terest itself in all matters pertaining
to the social welfare of the people OF
Its district. Through its executive Of
ticers this Board Will be vested with
the care and supervision OF the poor,
and will administer the funds now ad-
mnlstered by the Oyerseers OF the
poor; it will administer mothers
ala funds III accordance with State
law; it Will supervise persons placed
on parole by the hospitals Tor the To-

Dear Sir:
| have just received your circular
letter, calling attention to the fact
that the first payment OF my pledge is
due, and payable July LIST, and while l
have every intention OF making good
the pledge, provided there is a definite
and tangible plan fog building and
equipping a Y. NJ. C. A. building; |
have not heard anything whatever az
to the projected plans since the close
of the campaign for funds, and it
seems to nae that now, when the first
payments on the pledges are being
called for, 1t would be a very oppor-
tune time to give some publicity to the
plans, so that the people generally
may understand what site is contem-
piated what general type of building
is to be constructed; and other SINH
lar details Of information, which will
be of interest to everyone.
/ know that | am not alone in feel
ing that such information should be
made public, as | have been spoken to
by considerable number Of people ON
the same subject, they having stated
that they were perfectly willing 10
keep the pledges and contribute tho
money, but did not feel that they Want-
ed TO take the chance Of contributing
bn ff fkarp -
that this project would simply liRGeR
along Tor q while, and then coma to
an end without the building Actually
being erected.

Your letter of July 9th addressed TO

and turned over TO me for reply. The
suggestions contained in the lettST
were very pertinent, and I believe
timely. think it is only fair that you
or any other Of those who were kind
enough to contribute to our Building
Fund should know the present status
of operations up to date.

Directors of the Y. NJ. c. A. a compe-
tent committee TO select a site for

might say in closing that our pres
ident, Mr.. LansDnd, is in Europe for
the summer, and that nc Board Meet
ings will be held during July and Aug

Board is not asleep and will proceed
with all reasonable haste to satisfy
the growing need of a "Y" building,

the city TO its response for our re-
quest for funds. Please be free to
write US at any time or TO question Us
at any time regarding our progress az
we are eager that you should be con-

FINE REINDEER ENGRAyINGS.

One part of the Stone Age is
sometimes called the Reindeer per-
iod. because there were so many
reindeer In Europe at. that time.
These animals were among the
favorite subjects Of Cave artists.
Today you see two reindeer en-
cravings. One was placed on a
Diece Of rock found at the cave of
Saint Marcel, France. The deer is
meant to be galloping. The outline
Is strong and clear cut. This IS a
masterpiece Of the Stone Age. 1t
/. doubtful if modern artist could
do as we'll if he had to work with
tools and stone and bone.
The other engraving IS perhaps
even more interesting. 1t was
carved on a reindeer antler found
in a cave in the Pyrenees mountains.
1t represents herd OF deer cross
ing river containing many fish
The animal to the right is a stag;
hia head is turned around and ne
seems to be looking back to the
shore from which he has come. The

above the stag are two designs

"sign. their pictures, putting their
names or initials at the bottom OF
the pictures they draw; You re-
member that Stone Age artists
knew nothing about the letters OF
the alphabet, but they may nave
used special designs for names,
Most Of their pictures, however, mad
no such signatures.

time.
Winchester-A jury in Circuit
Court has awarded Mrs. Lena !,
Suddith, widow Of John H. Suddith,
a verdict against the Sovereign
Camp, Woodmen of the World,
which had declined to pay a Sl,OOU
insurance policy held by her nus
band, a member of the order, on
the ground that he had tuberculosis
at the time he applied, and that ne
gave misleading and incorrect an
swers in his medical examination.
The plaintiff denied Suddith had
sought to misrepresent anything,
and that he was passed" by two
physicians employed by the lodge to
make the examination. Hill Monta-
que, Of Richmond, counsel for the
defendant, noted an appeal.
MISUNDERSTANDING a writ of err
ror, the Virginia Supreme Court OF
Appeals today agreed to review a
case from the circuit court OF
Henry county in which the Southern
Tire Sales Corporation Is aggrleved
by the judgment of that court,
awarding A. NJ. Dudley and Com.
pany, of Martinsville the sum OF
S589.Q6 against it. The case grew
out of the sale Of set Of penumatlc
tires which the petitioner made to
the Martinsville firm. 1t appeared
that the tires proved unsatisfac-
tory and that the firm replaced
them with solid tires Charging the
cost and loss of time to the South
ern Tire Sales Corporation.

the antlers of reindeer-these were
only a few of the substances
on which images were cut. In an
English cave was the engraving of
the horses head on rib bone. The
tusks of mammoths were also used.
On one of these, the outline of a
mammoth was cut and the tusk was
left in French cave for us to find
fifteen or twenty thousand years
after the artist died. A pebble con-
tanning an engraving of bear was
found in a cave near Toulouse,
France.
In still another French cave,
number of bear teeth were discov
cred. Holes had been pierced
through each, and it is believed the
teeth once formed a necklace. On
one an engravinga Of a seal was
found! In spite of the small sur
face, the Stone Age artist had made
a good image. On another tooth a

est business brain of the nineteenth
century, saw this-albeit Subcon-

combined all or nearly all the units
of the oil industry; he increasingly
reduced the price of oil; increased
its value and its use So that the
millions all over the world could
enjoy its blessings. And at the
same time he paid the highest
wage in the country, and never
had a strike. Unconsciously, we
say. did he observe the law we
have promised, that the ultimate
object Of the oil business was to
assure the distribution among the
masses of the world. Henry Ford
is another great genius, who IS
following the same paths, and who
is astonishing the great bankers
and business men Of the country
by the unparalleled success OF his
enterprises. He is likewise obey
inc the workings of his subcon-
scious mind. In fact genius is
invariably subconscious in its OPP
erations. Otherwise we would all
be Fords or Rockefellers. The law
we have laid down, too, is the
most successful i'll its practical
results. as evidenced by the men
we have just named, and their toI-
lowers. 1t may be that there is a
subtle connection with divine law
in this phenomenon. Competl-
ton is selhshness; cooperation
is the carrying out OF the Golden
Rule. SeIhShneSS IS inherently
evil. Whatever is evil is transit
tory and doomed TO ultimate fail
ure. Whatever is good is perma-
nent and materially as we'll as spir-
itually beneficial. At least we can
aruue I'm this direction If we are
50 minded.
However, our United States
postal system was undoubtedly
founded on the plan Of the great
est good TO the greatest number,
and therefore owes its uneXampled
magnitude in the distribution OF
public benefits to that principle
We should say that perhaps the
people OF this country owe more
to it than to any other single
agency of government, the public
schools alone excepted. Where
fore we have thought it not map
propriate to give a brief account
of some of its annual activities,
and to draw a philosophical de-
duction from its general opera
ton.
