DEBATE STATUS Of
STAGE CHILDREN
Theatrical Managers and Wel-
fare Workers Argue Before
State Labor Board
FAIL TO REACH AGREEMENT

Old women and midgcts may displace
numerous protective organizations are
successful in their fight TO keep the
extreme youth Of the land from the
theatre.
This suggestion was the substitute
offered by Miss Estellc Lauder. of the
Consumers League today. during Il
heated debate between theatrical man.
ayers and representatives of child well
fare before the committee of the Board
of Labor and Industry of Pennsyl-
vania. sitting in the Bellevue Stratford
Hotel.
After hours of argument as to
whether acting was art or labor and
attempts of both sides to prove that
stage education was of more worldly
value than that obtained in the public
schools there was no agreement reached.
Arthur Arnold. counsel for the man
ayers. sought to disprove that the
Child Labor Law as enacted by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had any
legitimate application to child actors.
lie declared that stage children were
transients; that as such, they could
not receive admttancc to the schools
of city: hence, they cannot get a
public school education and the certifi-
cate that goes with it; and that finally
without such certificate, they cannot
get work. Mr.. Arnold ended his rca
soning with a fervent plea that acting.
after all. was not labor. but art.
Miss Lauder contended that that was
neither here nor there; that in reality.
acting was work. but above all was the
question of the welfare of the child.
which was in precariOus condition were
IL connected with the stage.
Miss Georgia Keen said she had seen
forty years of the stage. and declared
that children receive a better education
on the stage than in school.
The stage kids also got boost
from Harry Jordan. of Keith's, who de-
cIared that they are bright and clean;
and they get good education and
training. Because it is different from
school does not prove that it is bad. :"
John l.. Evans, of the Board of
Managers Of the Pennsylvania Society
for the Protection of Children admitted
the possibility of individual instances
where the child led fitting life while
on the stage.
But" said Mr.. Evans. that does
not alter the known fact that child
labor is bad on the whole. We can't
make exceptions and we cant trust to
the discretion of the individual.'
Resolutions drawn up January so by
tn" Industrial Board. seeking to pro-
hiblt child actors under fourteen from
appearing on the stage in this State.
were read at the conclusion of today :
meeting.
Measures 10 eliminate fire danger in
the showing of moving pictures other
than in theatres were urged at the
meeting.

FIRE. F0|[S THIEVES
IN VAULT OF BANK
kobbers Flee When Torch Used
in Cutting Steel Door
lgnites Records
MT. HOLLY SPRINGS SCENE

Mount Holly Springs. Pa, March I.
-Thieves, after forcing their way into
sne vault of the First National Bank
nero and reaching the steel safe inside.
which contained the banks cash funds.
were apparently frightened away with
o.t loot through the accidental firing
ct the bank records in the vault while
tney were at work on the safe with an
acetylene torch.
In leaving the vault the burglars
pushed shut the vault door. leaving a
crack through which the smoke from
the burning records escaped. This
smoke caught the eye of y. &. Gclp.
q motorman, on the Carlisle and Mount
Holly Railway. as he was leaving his
home at D 30 O'Clock this morning. He
notified the fire department and in this
way the attempted robbery was dis
covered.
Many Records Burned
Many of the records Of the bank for
the last fifteen years were burned For
tunately the ledgers and other books
now in use were not put in the vault
last night and for this reason escaped
damage.
The only loss reported was the dis
appearance of a quantity of stamps and
money order blanks which had been de-
posted in the vault overnight by the
Postmaster, the Mount Holly Springs
postoffice being in the same building as
the bank. 1t is believed. however. that
the stamps and blanks were burned. as
they had been placed in a spot where
the fire burned hottest.
The burglars entered the bank
through back window, and must have
spent considerable time in getting
through the steel door of the concrete
vault. They could not have started
work until long after midnight. as there
was n crowd in the street until late
hour last night. and it is thought that
they may have left the bank only n
short time before smoke from the vault
attracted the attention of Motorman
Gelp.
No Clue to Robbers
No one saw the thieves before or
after the bank was entered. and there
is no clue so far that could be used by
the police in making an arrest.
Park Gardner is president of the
bank and II. G. Hall is cashier. The
bank building is brick and brown
stone structure in the center of Mount
Holly Springs.
1t was said today that this was the
tenth time in five years that an at
tempt had been made to rob the bank.
The last time that thieves tried to loot
the place was last October. On each
visit the burglars have entered through
the same window in the rear of the
building.

Special Gable Dispatch. Copvrioht. 1922
Dublin. March THE drafting of an
Irish constitution was completed last
night by committee under the chair
manship Of Darrell Figgis. The docu-
ment was submitted TO the Pro-
visional Government today for possible
changes. 1t will be placed before the
people in June, when Ireland will vote
Jointly on the constitution and the Free
State.
There is no intention to submit the
constitution to the British Parliament,
before the Irish people vote on it. The
opinion mere is that the only question
which the House of Commons will have
to decide is whether the constitution
conflicts with the treaty. and some Of
the best minds in Ireland believe that
it does not. u is not believed that
< the British will attempt to amend the
constitution adopted by the Irish pro-
vided it does not conflict with the
treaty.
The constitution provides for the in
clusion Of Ulster. Under it the six
counties of the North would receive
almost the same measure Of indie
pendence as they now possess. Any act
passed by the Ulster Legislature, if
contested, would come before the Su-
preme Court of all Ireland on the ques-
ton of its constitutionality
