STARTS WAR ON
CHILD LABOR

organization to work for "absolute
abolition of child labor in the United
States" was formed here today by
representatives of a number of ma
tional associations called into confer
ence on the subject by Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The meeting was
arranged by Mr.. Gompers following
the recent decision of the United
States supreme court holding that
special excise taxes on the product
of minor labor were invalid
Spokesman for the new organiza-
ton, after conference at the Am
erican Federation of Labor head
quarters, appeared before the house
judiciary committee to urge legisla-
tion prohibiting or regulating en-
employment of children in mines, fac
tories and similar arduous occupa-
tions.
Representative Chandler (Republi-
CAM of New York said it was the
opinion of himself and other mem
bers of the committee that the SUI
preme courts ruling had made it i'm
possible to accomplish anything by
legislative regulation unless and until
a constitutional amendment had been
adopted.

institute a campaign for such an

tion of Child Labor" Mr.. Gompers
accepted the post of permanent chair
man.
A committee of ten was appointed
to draft a constitutional amendment
and "the best form of law" to meet
the situation. This committee will
report to the conference at a later
meeting when action on it's recon-
mendations will be taken. The con-
ference adopted a resolution intro
duced by President Gonfpers which
declared that the conference ex-

mittee Mr.. Gompers said that If the

Victorian as that may SEEM"
Mr.. Gompers said that congress-
men were engrossed in matters which
they deemed of more consequence,
"in the stern business of getting re-
elected"
"It is amazing and astounding that
it should be necessary to ask con-
gress to protect childhood" Mr.. Com
pers said, Congress ought to be eager
to perform this duty Expressions
from committee members this morn

a desire to find way cut than to
find a way through to success. But
congress will get no rest. The issue

MODERN EDUCATIONAL IDEAS
GIVEN BY SOLONS.

Representative Simon d. Tess, Ohio,
head of the historical department of
Ohio Northern university, says there is
a superabundance of teachers for the
advanced subjects, but few capable in
structors for the elementary grades.
"Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to what is accomplished in the
public schools DR.. Fess stated. uni
versity and college students who failed
to realize their ambitions solely be-
cause their early education had been
neglected and not because they fail to
apply themselves while in college are
numerous.
at should be borne in mind by ev-
eryone that the education obtained in
the public school is more important
than that of the university and 1t
should necessarily follow that the pub
lie schools should be brought up to. the
very highest possible standard. In no
other way can the nation expect rot
produce thoroughly educated men and
women" s-.
Federal Commissioner of Education
Tigert believes that the motion picture
has educational possibilities as yet
hardly realized, and that the schools
.of the future will make great use of
this modern invention in conveying in
formation to young minds in such a
manner that it will remain there.
The problem of developing motion
pictures for educational purposes is
mainly commercial, DIR. Tigert believes
A program is needed whereby pro-
ducers and educators can get together
and make motion pictures pedagogi-
cally useful and present them accord
ing to best recognized educational
methods. DIR. Tigert expressed the
opinion that many subjects could be
presented better with motion pictures

congress to advance visual education
but, says he, Congress is not visual
minded" He proposes using motion
pictures for characterization purposes,

what Mados Did to Marx the Spy.

Never in my life has there come to
me such a grilling test Of my own
courage and steadfastness Of purpose
as endured after taking my station
behind the door leading from Lillian
Underwood's library into the closet adj
joining it.
It seemed hours although in reality
it was but two or three minutes that I
stood there listening to the sounds OF
the saw in the hands of the unknown
marauder on the other side of the door,
and watching with fascinated, terri
fled eyes the slipping in and out of the
implement through the wood OF the
panel.
In my hand held the lfncorked bot
tie OF carbolic acid / had found in Lii
lian's cabinet. 1t was poised so that in
second I could empty its contents
over the hand which l knew would be
stretched through the door to push
back the heavy bolts as soon as the
man had finished making the aperture
through which his hand could be
thrust.
But to my own shamed dismay I
wasn't sure when the crucial moment
came I would have the courage TO do
the thing 1 had planned. I had read
OF the terrible effects of carboiic acid
Once drop had fallen on my own
hand when 1 was using the stuff di-
luted in cleaning. could still feel the
agony it had caused me, although ]
had been near swift remedies.
1t seemed such a hideous, barbaric
punishment to inflict upon anyone,
even SO desperate marauder as the
man on the other side of the door
lowered the bottle with the wild idea
Of putting it away and trying to grasp
and hold the mans hand when he
should thrust 1t through the door.
Then there flashed into my brain a
vision OF Lfllian's face as it would look
when I told her, as / must, Of my cow
ardice. had no right TO falter, no mat
ter how distasteful TO myself the task
was. If It had been but an ordinary at
tempted robbery I should never have
dreamed, nor would Lillian herself
have approved of such strenuous
measures.
But this man was endangering Sc
crets affecting the welfare of our coun-
try. He himself was the vilest sort
Of traitor or he never would have been
able to obtain access to the room upon
the other side of the closet, the room
to which only trusted agents of the Sc
cret service were admitted. 1t was abb
solutely necessary that he be identi-
fled, marked in some way that he
could not disguise. The only effective
method of doing it which I could en-
ploy was already in my hand. There

REPUBLICANS aExPLAINiGtGn
MAINE LOSSES.

Third congressional district OF
Maine: November. 1920, republican
majority, 10000; March, 1922. repulbli-
can majority, 5000.
AS Chairman Cordell Hull Of the
democratic national committee says;
Results speak for themselves. Re-
publicans, Of course, will now proceed
to do the explaining"
Before the election in the Third dis
.trict of Maine republicans declared
that the election would be a test of
President Hardin's administration. The
democrats are willing to let it go at
that.
Those republican managers and
leaders who are pretending. that the
results in the Third Maine district are
an enthusiastic endorsement of the adj
ministration should read this fair
opinion OF the New York Herald. re-
publican paper, which isn't led by the
nose and does its own thinking:
The triumph of the republican can-
didate for congress. John f. Nelson, in
the third Maine district Monday over
Ernest L. Mclean, the democratic
candidate, is not thing to make re-
publicans throughout the country feel
that they have walkover in the con :
gress elections this fall. Considered all
in all, the result Of this Maine election
is not safe indication of what will
happen this fall in the congress cleo
tions.'
Il That great independent newspaper
the New York Times, points out that
the Maine republicans were not very
enthusiastic about endorsing the adj
ministration 1t says:
'The republicans are sorely in need
of cheering omens and little encour-
agement. Here was their chance. They
didn't take it. The republican voters
of the five counties that compose the
Third district were singularly apath-
etc. to say the least. Many republi-
can district will be carried by the
wicked democrats next fall if republic
can majorities and pluralities of 1920
are to be cut after the manner of the
Third Maine district"
The republicans profess to be pleased
with the result, but it is the republi-
cans who are doing the explaining.

Possibilities in Wireless

The great variety of wave lengths
that can be used in wireless is what
gives its vast possibilities for useful
ness. These wave lengths vary in
present practice from approximately
200 feet up to 20 miles. BY mechanical
means too complicated for description
here, men have been able to tune"
their receiving instruments SO that
they will detect only the ether waves
that are 600Efoot long or 800 feet long
or 2 miles long. or whatever other
length they may choose for the mo-
ment. BY this tuning process, the
wireless ear" becomes deaf to all
other waves, even though nyriads of
other waves are at the same time dis
turbing space. It is a result of this
power of selection that great stations,
like the new one at Port Jefferson,
Long Island, can send out its messages

CARPENTER MAY NEVER FIGHT
AGAIN."

Dispatches from Paris announce that
Carpenter, the French fighter who
met Dempsey in the United States last
July, win probably never be himself
again.
"The boy does not realize the shape
he Is in" one of his doctors is reported
to have said. His trouble is attributed
chiefly to "the terrific pounding he
received in Jersey City last summer.
Any one who has seen the motion
pictures of the Carpentier-D Dempsey
fight will not be surprised at this an
nouncement. Constantly during the
fight Dempsey's arm flashes up and
down over his opponents kidneys. The
kind of punishment the defeated man
received in that battle is the kind that
shortens life by years and leaves
broken health while life remains.
Boxing - one thing-pr1ze fighting
is another. And for sheer brutality
prize fighting as conducted in the Uni
ted States at the present time is hard
to equal.

How Coal Could Be Saved
81 a carer

Considerably more than one quarter
of all the coal mined IN the United
States is consumed in the fireboxes of
the locomotives operating on our steam
railroads. 1t takes approximately z
pounds Of coal to generate the equiva-
lent of kilowatt-hour OF electric cur
rent when burned in a modern locomo-
tive. whereas. the same amount Of
power can be produced in a well-de-
signed power house with a ,consump
ton of only "a pounds of coal. 1t is
evident, therefore. that If we were to
electrify all of our railroads, we would
reduce the fuel bills of these transpor-
tation lines about 81 per cent. In
stead OF consuming more than one
fourth Of all the coal produced in the
United States each year, the nations
carriers would then consume less than
one2tenth OF our annual coal output
