THE LOST DOG.
6yWNARY GRAHAM BOlH1NER

"Of course," said the Collie after he the other dogs, 'I don't blame some dogs for getting good and angry when they are treated badly.
 And so much depends on a dogs bringing up. If a dog is treated nice ly and kindly, then the dog is gentle and kindly, too, and isn't on the look out for snappy, cross people, and so doesn't become snappy and cross him. self.
 But I think that the nicer a dog can be, the better it is for him.
 ''The reason, though, that l am able to be pleasant and friendly is because of the nice home I have. and the kind master and mistress, and because l have been brought up in home where people are happy, and where they laugh and where they don't quarrel
 Of course, all that makes me pleas ant and friendly. I really couldn't be any other way.
 But I want to tell you about the trip I had when I was lost, and be- cause the family are all so kindly with me I was kindly and friendly with other people I met.
 You know I got lost. It was a dreadful experience. I really didn't know what to do. I had gone off for a trip and hadn't realized how far I had gone. And you know I'm very young.
 Of course, I would have found my way home in the long run, I know that.
 But it was everything to be helped. as I was!
 "I found myself in another small town where there was very fashion able Inn. An Inn is a fashionable boarding house, I believe, and is like a smart hotel, only smaller. Now, in this Inn, they didn't allow dogs.
 There were many elderly ladies there, and many of them were fussy.
 "I came upon this place, and I was so tired. I thought to myself that the people might be friendly, and so I wagged my tail, although they didn't look the friendly sort
 "None of them had spoken to me, or anything like that.
 But when I wagged my tail and looked at some of them politely, they said to each other:
 What a lovely dog
 'I thought that they might help me, and so I wagged my tail again and

CHILD LABOR LAW OF UNITED STATES
 IS INADEQUATE
More Than Million Prematurely Leave School Each Year,
 Says Committee.

The child labor problem in the United States is still d very serious one, the National Child Labor Com mittce points out in an appeal sent throughout the country urging na- tion- wide observance of Child Labor Day, last Sunday.
 The committee reports that a sur vcy shows that 100000 boys and girls from the age of 10 to I5 are pre- matrrely leaving school and going to work each year, because the Federal child labor law and the various state laws are inadequate to deal with the problem.
 This yearly influx of children into child labor" said the committee, "is just as serious matter as the num- Der of child laborers at any given time. Continued over say a Io-year period, 1t means Io,ooo,oo children prematurely leaving school and going to work
 New and more drastic child labor legislation" the committee says, IS needed, because:
 The Federal Tax Child Labor law (which has been declared unconstitu- tional by one Federal district judge in North Carolina, and must go to the United States Supreme Court for settling this question: at best touches onl yI5 per cent. of the 2,ooo,ooo chill drcn I oto 15 years old engaged in gainful occupations in the United States It helps the children in fac tories, mines and mills, but not those in agriculture, domestic service, street trades, stores, working for messenger

The action of the operators Is in conformity with the announcement made by the Southern Ohio Coal Ex- change several weeks ago, that they had withdrawn from the central com pctitive field, embracing Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi- nOiS
 The operators statement says the scale promulgated by them Is from 30 to 5 per cent in advance of the prc-War scale in the Southern oil field. The wages then, they say, were the highest ever received by miners in that district up to the time ad- vanccs were made on account of the war.
 The operators quoted union officials as saying the miners would not ac- cept reductions in wages, and would fight to the last to avoid such, and continued:
 "The operators believe that these statements of a determined policy demonstrate the futility of any meet ing with the United Mine Workers of America"

SHIP BOARD WAGE
 SCALE15P.C. DOWN
New Agreement Eliminates All Overtime Except in Emergency
 in Port

Washington, Feb. 3-Under the new wage agreement which will become ef- fective on Shipping Board vessels Feb and continue until June 30, officers and engineers accept reduction of IS per cent in wages and the crew IS to 25 per cent
 Overtime allowances to engineers cooks, stewards and radio operators are eliminated except when ships are i1 home ports and then only in emergencies Seamen are not allowed overtime under the present agreement. This agreement was reached on the theory that overtime cannot properly apply on a vessel at sea where every member of the crew IS ex- pected to do whatever work may be re- quired of him.
 T. V. O'Connor, Shipping Board Com missioner, who negotiated the agreement with A. J. Frey, vice president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, and J. C. Jenkins, Director of Industrial Relations today announced the new wage scale.
 The agreement also provides for 8 reduction in the subsistence allowance or board to 80 cents a day. It was SIPS IT 1920 and in 1919 as high as $145. Priv ate ship operators are now feeding their men on board at a cost of 60 to 65 cents day.
 When vessels are in port, unlicensed personnel will be allowed 50 cents per meal when meals are not served on board instead of 60 cents, and the perdiem al loWance to masters, mates, engineers and stewards will be reduced from 50 to $4 All the reductions leave the personnel on shipping board vessels with margin over rates on private owned ships.
 Under the new scale masters, mates and engineers are divided i'll five classes The wages of masters range from $31S to $250 per month, and first mates from $175 to $155. Chief engineers will re- ceive from $28O to $22O a month.
 The highest paid unlicensed men or board Government ships will be carpen- ters, deck engineers and pump men, who will receive $70 a month. Able sean1er will reveive $55 and ordinary searnen SAC a month.

ator lglcsiaS, the representative of the American Federation of Labor in the island, who Is in this city in the in terest of the people, 'is for them to decide. They have made it plain time and again that they are in favor of American institutions.
 With the exception of the bill creating Porto Rico an incorporated territory of the United States and that enabling the island to become state of the union, none of the bills will solve the political and economic conditions of Porto Rico in the right way and in accord with the free insti- tutions of the American government" ."

 "'That dog must be lost
 "Very gently I walked up near her, so wouldn't frighten her, and I found that she wasn't frightened.
 "Then I put my head in her lap and she patted me. And one of the other women said to her:
 "'Why, I never saw you pat a dog before. How do you know that he won't bite?
 Of course that was enough to make me furious. As though dogs were all going to bite!
 But I kept my temper and the lady said:
 "'Oh, he is a beautiful dog and you can tell he is used to being petted I am not afraid of him.
 And then the lady called out the one who owned the Inn, and she asked to have me fed and a drink of water given to me.
 'Then one of the very stylish and superior walters brought me out dainty meal and served me as though "CA~ u AAC paying SucSl dllu CdHcu my meal 1uncheon.'
 ''Then they telephoned about to the neighbors and others, and asked ques- tions about any missing dogs that had been reported, and they found out I belonged to my master, and they helped me to come home.
 ''In fact, I should say they brought me home, and it would have been a hard job by myself.
 But I do think that 1t makes a great deal of difference If one Is friendly.
 "Now, I went up to the lady and acted in a friendly fashion and she was friendly with me.
 i've seen someone acting quite cross with my master, and my master being as pleasant as can be, and that person will change right around and be pleasant
 But, oh dogs! It's good to be home!"
 And the dogs wagged their tails and parked
 "Oh Collie, it's good to have you home, for we missed you, sir, we missed you!''

phlet giving copies of referred or In
itiated bills and the arguments on
