INDIANAPOLIS. Feb 17-The rail

1890 OF HOUSEWIVES
SOAK EVERYDAY
CLOTHES

What does soaking mean to
you? Three out of every four
housewives always loosen the
dirt by letting the clothes soak
before they start washing.
With the ordinary soaps, this
helped a little but there was still
a lot of rubbing TO be done.
Rinse, an entirely new kind of
soap, loosens and dissolves every
bit of dirt, without the slightest
injury to the clothes. Soak your
clothes an hour or more in
Rinse and the dirt rirses right
out, all but the most stubborn
places and those need only
light rubbing.
Rinse is the only soap you
need for the entire regular fam
iIy wash. You don't need. any
other soap-nor any washing
powder with Rinse. Women who
are using 1t say their clothes are
spotless and last longer.

MARRIED WOMEN NOT
OBLIGED TO CHANGE NAME

HARTF0RD, Conn. Feb. IL
Elsie Hill, who recently married
Professor LeaYitt, was SO well known
in Connecticut as suffragist leader
and worker that the announcement
that she would retain her maiden
name though married, attracted
statewide attention. 1t set law
yers aud others at work reading
statutes old and new to see if there
was anything in them which would
prevent Elsie Till frem using in Con-
necticut her maiden name though
married.
The best legal opinion, in default
of an actual court decision. is that
a woman may take any name she
chooses provided there is no intent
TO defraud.
There are NO written words which
require woman in Connecticut TO
take her husbands name after mar
riage. Lawyers. however, say that
it will have TO be determined if a
married woman retaining her maiden
name can vote under the maiden
name or obtain a passport from the
government.

It's case of running true to form with the two really brilliant bills of vaudeville booked for the Palace for next week. Heading the bill for Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday is whole family of Doners. Ordinarily one Doner would provide most ac- ceptable headline attraction but here is the Palace presenting Kitty, the cleverest of all the clever Doners, supported by Sister Rose and Brother Ted Kitty Doner's twinkling toes are famous in musical comedy. Add ed to the cleverness of Kitty in this act, which is called "A League of Song Steps," are the abilities of Sister Rose and Brother Ted. The combina- ton thus formed IS unbeatable.
 As the added attraction M Golden presents "The Curio Shop" an orig inal fantasy embracing grace, beauty and talent. The sextette of enter tainers appearing in this vaudeville originally Is made up of real artists. Al, Fields and Sheldon introduce a perfect gem of comedy talk in their conceit, ~"The Last of the Cabbys."

TRAINMEN SECURE
 NEW AGREEMENTS
Meet in Secret With N. Y. C.-New
 Haven Expected to Follow.

New York, Sept; 15.-A. H. Smith, president of the New York Central railroad, yesterday held secret meeting with w. c. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men, and L. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, at which they discussed new agree ment which 1t was understood would provide for a renewal of the present wage scale, working conditions and rules
 Mr. Smith refused to discuss the meeting, but MT. Lee announced they had reached "a substantial agree ment" and that another ! meeting would be held this noon at which it was expected the agreement would be signed.
 Practically the only question left, MT. Lee said, was whether the new agreement would be made for a pe- riod of one year or for two years. The agreement would affect employees on all the subsidiary lines of the New York Central systen,.
 MT. Lee added that they expected to negotiate similar agreements with several other lines as soon as that with the New York Central has been signed. Among the other roads with which conferences are to be held are understood to be the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, New York, New Haven & Hartford, Delaware & Hud- son, Delaware, Lackawanna & West ern, Erie and Lehigh Valley.
 Mr. Lee said that the trainmen and conductors were acting independent ly of the >hremen's and engineers brotherhoods-the other half of the Big Four"-and that he did not know what plans for settlement had been made by those brotherhoods.

with interstate traffic by driving rail road employees from their work. Overriding the objections of attor- neys for B. M Jewell and John Scott, the strike leaders, Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson admitted the af- fdavits in evidence. The court like wise deferred for the present, argu- ment on the defense motion for modi- 6cation of the temporary restraining order now in force.
 The terms of the peace agreement are those offered at New York with a mollify the opposition in the unoins' ranks. With these terms as a basis, system federations on roads now not parties to the agreement are author ized to enter peace negotiations with proper railroad officials. Until these employees are returned to work, they will be assisted financially by those who are employed.
 Present employees and the strikers will be retained by the railroads sign ing the Jewell-Willard agreement. The old men are to return to their former positions at the present rates of pay not later than 30 days after the agreement is signed. All strikers with the exception of those found guilty of acts of violence are to be on the railro oads' payroll at the end of the 30 day period. Men will be called back to work in order of their stand ing. Anticipating disputes arising out of the mems return to work, the agreement provides for an arbitra- ton commission composed of six railroad representative and six shop crafts agents.
 The New Haven road officials say the company IS in no way affected by the settlement on some other roads and will have nothing to do with any suggested compromise, will re- fuse to recognize that strike condi- ton exists, and will take back strik- CTS only as new men shorn of all rights.
 This was asserted by E. c. Buck land, vice-president of the road,
 when asked if his company would eventually fall in line with the roads

 men and with them will continue to operate the road as it has been operated in the past"
 MT. .Buckland further said that the road intends in the future in its shops to absolutely adhere to an "open shop" policy. The efficiency of the company will in no way be impaired, he continued

Census Bureau Gives Out Figures T h a t Prove Nutmeg State Is Not as Nearly Per feet in Child Labor Laws as Has Been Claimed.

Although Connecticut is supposed to be pretty strict in the matter of child labor 1t has nothing to brag about but on the contrary has much to be done to prevent this class-o of employment and safeguard the health of the coming generation of parents. According to statistics issued from Washington this week there are, in the five larger cities of the state alone, 4,78o children between the ages of 10 and Is years, engaged in "gainful occupations" at the present time. While 1t is true that the majority of these may be over the stipulated age of leaving school, IA years, provided the child is far enough advanced in learning to secure certificate, yet there are thousands of them under the legal age of employment. In fact in New Haven last week six convic- tions were secured in the city court against employers found to be using child labor contrary to the law.
 In the figures given out the pro portion of boys employed is only Slightly greater than that of young girls; in fact in the five cities for which figures are given, there are 2,633 boys employed as against 2,I47 girls. New Haven leads with the largest proportion of boys, the figures being Io4 per cent of the entire boy population of 8,422. New Britain leads in the number of young girls employ ed the figure being o.3 per cent, but is followed closely by New Haven which scores 7.8 per cent, and Bridge port which scores 7.o per cent.
 The figures were taken from the census of 1920, but it is stated the number may be much larger owing to the general depression which threw fathers and grown persons out of em- ployment and forced children to turn their little hands to anything possible to aid in keeping the wolf from the door. Even though the employment situation has improved somewhat, the low wage forced on the former breadwinners of the families, makes necessary wherever possible to hold onto the child's wage and this, the re- port states, is being generally done: The figures for the five cities selected for comparison are as follows:

 Members of the council predicted that labor will designate at least 50 candidates for senatorial and con gressional seats now occupied by men who, they decalre, are opposed to the aims and ideals of.the Ameri can Federation of Labor.
 That the federation will attempt by an affiliation with the farmer vote, to become an important factor in the presidential campaign of 1924, is a foregone conclusoin among the labor chiefs. They declare that their seiec- ton of candidate for the presidency will be "a startling surprise to fol- lowers of the old parties"
 The council also denounced Federal Judge Wilkerson's extension of the shop crafts restraining order; ex- pressed a determination to rid organ ized labor of radical clements; and approved plan for carrying the trade union movement into the public schools of the country.
