Greatest Transport.

The model of the S. S. Levathan. the
remarkable replica which, was wrought

The vacuum tube detector and two
stage amplifier cabinet illustrated has
few novel features which may be
of interest One feature is the alum
mum frame which unites a front and
rear panel in a rugged assembly. All
rheostats. tube sockets and other
parts are mounted in this metal frame.
The sockets are arranged SO that the
tubes when inserted will stand ver-
tically. Over each tube position there
is a metal gauze protecting cap which
can be lifted when a tube is inserted.
The brilliancy of each tube filament
can be observed through the gauze
cap.
Both amplifier tube filaments are
controlled from one common rheostat
of ample current-carrying capacity.

MOST INTEREST IN
DRAFTING PLATFORM

INDIANAPOLIS, May 23.-Repub-
lican leaders gathered here today for
the opening tomorrow of the party's
state convention centered attention on
the platform, with view to ironing
out any differences of opinion. so that
no fight would develop in the con-
vention on the party's stand on the
direct primary or other campaign is
sues.
With the convention facing only one
contest for the 10 nominations that
will be made for state offices, interest
hinged almost entirely on the plat
form.
All candidates however, had opened
headquarters but these were merely
meeting places for the early arrivals.
Senator James E. Watson, who will
deliver the keynote address at the
opening of the convention arrived from
Washington and Senator Harry S. New
was expected later in the day.
Few of the congressman, however,
were expected to leave Washington
and John P Adams, chairman of the
Republican national committee, had
announced he would be unable to come
to Indianapolis
The contest for the nomination of
clerk of the supreme court was at
tracing more than ordinary attention
because it was the only race for a
state office both Patrick J. Lynch
seeking denomination and his oppon-
ent, Henry A. Roberts, former state
statistician were busy among the early
arriving delegates.
While the platform to be submitted
to the convention will be framed by
the resolutions committee, organized
tomorrow night, preparatory work was
being done by party leaders. and prob
able members of the committee.

CHILD LABOR LAW
COMES UP AGAIN.:
ASKS AMENDMENT
rALLAD1Um NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Unit
ed States supreme court having again
declared child labor legislation uncon-
stitutional, this subject is to be re-
opened in congress.
Representative Roy G. Fitzgerald, OF
the third Ohio district, launched the
movement recently by introducing
resolution for constitutional amend
ment prohibiting child labor. His
measure is assured the support of the
majority The 1920 Republican plat
form declares explicitly that in case
"the present law is found unconstitu-
tional or ineffective, we shall seek
other means to enable congress to pre-
vent the evils of child labor"
The Republican nominee for United
States senator from Indiana, Mr.. Bev-
eridge, during his last service in the
senate, encountered strong opposition
in his fight for child labor legislation.
Southern interests which employed
many children were his principal op-
ponents Investigations disclosed the
fact that tots of nine and 10 years
were being worked long night shifts
by southern mill owners. State author
tiles were either powerless or indif-
ferent to cope with the evil and it
was felt that only by a mandatory fed
eral law could the root of the condi-
ton be reached.
The Beveridge law was finally en-
acted, September /, 1916 Upon petit
tion of North Carolina mill owners the
constitutionality of this first child pro-
lection law was taken to the supreme
court of the nation and it was de-
clared unconstitutional after being in
operation only 273 days.
Second Law Falls
The second law to prohibit child
labor, which has just met in the su-
preme court the same fate that befell
its predecessor. was enacted Feb. %,
1919 1t was in the form of an amend
ment to the revenue bill. II at
tempted to end child labor by means
of 10 per cent tax upon the net
profits of any business employing
children under. conditions prohibited
by the former law This measure also
was thrown into the courts on the in
itiative of North Carolina mill owners
The children's bureau of the depart
ment of labor, created during the Taft
administration, has done much to
| awaken public opinion to the import
ance of protecting children from ex
/ ploitation by certain business inter
ests, and at times the existence of this
1 bureau has been threatened. At the
same time the movement to prohibit
child labor has been continually fur
thered in the states. There are now
| AZ states having minimum age laws
prohibiting the employment of chill
dren under fourteen years. Thirty
states have laws prohibiting children
from working over s hours a day
Forty states have laws forbidding tbs
employment of children under II
years in night work.
