 Guilty, who worked in Cleveland roll ing mills before steel was made in verter had been introduced and before !pensioned by the American Steel o& Wire company, United States Steel Cooperation branch, with the longest service record of any of the 4,700 employees pensiOned by the steel cor operation. His length of service in toludes 56 years, months and 16 days land in all that time he was not once late to work, his record shows.
 MT. Guilty started to work when he was 10 years of age, packing spikes for the old Cleveland Rolling Mills FCompany, later absorbed by the American Steel 6 Wire Company, which in turn was taken over by the United States Steel Corporation.
 He began working when iron rails were made by the pudding process. He has seen the growth of rolling mills from the days when they were btp erated by hand.
 MT. Guilty joins the list of pen stoned Cleveland employees of the U S. Steel corporation subsidiaries here which numbered 270 and received SGT, $40 in pensions in 1921. according to figures given out in the annual report of the U. s. Steel and Carne- gie Pension Fund here.

ElectrificatiOn Of Russia

Stockholm, March 2-Premier Le hines long talked of scheme for the identification of Russia appears to be cryStallizing into action and if the present planss announced by officials of the Soviet government go through, Sweden will be engaged in turning out high-power turbines and other cleo trification materials and machinery for several years to come.
 In order to fill contracts said to have been entered into by the big gest electrical works of Sweden, the Swedish manufacturers will have to purchase enormO OuS quantities of raw materials from the United States where they are already buying a great deal of copper for Sweden's own cleo trification projects.

Providence Post
 of Legion Doing Great Relief Work

Providence. R. l., March 2.-At the hour Of night when offices, stores and factories of Providence empty into
 streets, already damned with motor cars. their hordes of workers, and when theatres give up their quota of anuseme e ent-seelers. more than a score of holIow-eyed men, cheeks drawn and pale under a week-old beard and clothing practically in tatters, stand about the wall of the American Le- zion headquarters in the Central Fire Station, waiing their turn to ap- proach a desk and ask help for them selves and their wives and children. There is generally a woman or two, waiting her turn with the others, to ask food and coal so that the baby she holds in her arms may live through the night.
 Reports that drift steadily in to the Legion indicate that Providence is Witness to only such conditions as prevail in every industrial center in the country. Men who a few years ago were in the camps and the trenches are now seeking out the bare daily rebuH from employers who
 would not hire an ex-service man, for none of them are any good"

 Men Want More Pay.
 There is a difference-perhaps so big as to be stumbling block for peace--over the terms of new agree ment. The United Mine Workers have written into a tentative set of demands the terms under which they are willing to negotiate a new con- tract. Chief of these is the question of wages. 20 per cent. increase on the ton basis where a miner is paid on the amount of coal he handles and a flat increase of one dollar per day for men paid on the daily basis. On nothing definite in the way of wage scale, but they do maintain that for public benefit and in the interest of the industry there must be downward revision of the pay rates. The com any downward revision to the con sumner, meaning cheaper fuel.
 Boiled down, the anthracite situa- tion is just this: The men are asking 20 per cent. above their present con tract The operators will demand a in what they term war time rates." Presto mt John L. Lewis, of the United Mine Workers, has de- clared, "There must be no step back ward!" The companies are claiming such a step is necessary.

 Among the men is a silent prepara- ion to meet any situation that may arise. Business depression has not set in on a large scale, but sufficiently arge to indicate that the miner and lis family are careful with their money, and free spending has been curtailed-

MARRIAGE IS THE PROBLEM
 OF THE AGE

New York, March Alphabetically opposite views as to the best way of remedying or solving the problems of the age''-marriage ge-are held by two modern Solomons of the New York bench
 Judge Alfred J. Tally, of the Court of General Sessions, holds that more fewer divorces. Senior Justice Leo pold Prince, of the Flights District Municipal Court in answer to Judge TallyS holds that stricter marriage laws would result in a deluge of di- virces, and that easier divorce laws would result in a far happier cond1- tion of life and living.
 Did taxation without Fermentation make for a prohibition that proh1b- ited ?'' asked Justice Prince.

 People want to be free to do as they choose. Legislative restraint i'm posed upon them that deprIVes them of their rights makes them want all the more to do thing they are toIu that they cannot.
 Before a man and woman are married both wear their best clothes, as it were. Both are on their best be- havior. Neither shows his or her real self to the other. They cannot fore see what the other may turn out to be like after married life. And just as they themselves cannot foresee. neither can any law. For that req son, therefore, I cannot see how stricter marriage laws would accom- plish anything.

Strange Tribal Customs by Gipsy
 ChiefAs Wife Dies

Newark, N. J., March 2-Ben Hoyt, chief of the band of gtpsies compris- ing fourteen families, who reside in the Silver Lake section of Belleville. suburb of Newark, has washed, shaved and changed his clothes for the first time in the forty days since his wife died. According to tribal custom, the chief did not wash his face or shave, or change his clothes for that period after her death.
 According to tribal custom, he gave a death feast to all the members of the tribe on the thirty eighth day of the vigil. He appointed his valet to provide all the food, all of which had to be bought, also according to the gipsy customs, in lots of add mum bers; that is an odd number of pounds or pieces.
 The lamb was roasted in the chiefs back yard, where the feast was served on a Iegless table, at the head of which on a pedestal sat the chief. The oth- CTS sat on the ground on straw, and all wept and ate alternately. When the chief at the outset began to weep, the special officer on duty at the front of the house to keep away the curious ran back to investigate. The feast lasted from 8 to 7:30 D. m. Each guest took home the lighted candle

answers: when it takes place on a farm"
 In seventeen states agriculture is specifically exempted from the pro- visions of the child labor law regu- leting the age and the number of hours the children may work. In the other states there is no definite exemption, but agriculture Is not listed in the law.
 Why are such conditions allowed to exist? In the first place, the general public. including parents and law makers, are under the erroneous impression that farm work Is not only not injurious to children but Is actually beneficial. At a recent hearing In the senate In Washington when the question of exploiting child labor by the sugar beet industry came up, Sena- tor Reed Shoot said perfectly con- scientiously, "So far as child labor in my state is concerned. if Is q God-send to the children It keeps

power stations to be constructed with in the next few years. Trollhaettan is one of SWeden's manufacturing cen teES.
 While the details of the Russian order cannot be given at this time, it is said that three of Sweden's larg- est mechanical works will have to be pressed into service to meet the Rus sian contract. Professor Crastio said the RusCian electrified ton plan in- wolves the building before 1890 of about 10 large power stations with a total of 100000 horsepower.
 One of the largest of these power stations is to be located at Wolchow about 70 miles south of Petrograd Two stations are to be constructed on the Swir river between Omega and La dOga lakes.
 The Russian identification plan con- templates also the erection of a large number of steam power centrals.
 Should this ambitious scheme of the Russian Soviet governm ent go through as scheduled, it is likely that Swedish electrical and mechanical engineers will be drafted to install the machin- ery in the Russian power stations.

BigMarketFor Gold Fishes In Germany

Berlin, March 2-Traveling matri- mon1al agents constitute the very latest !d.sa in Germany where keen comp Deut1on has developed among matrimonial bureaus because of the great surplus Of women, partly due to the war.
 The matrimonial agents go from one town to another seeking "gold fishes" as the Germans call them or, in other words, women with money who are deairous of obtaining true love and a good looking husband, though poor.
 Both men and women have taken to the work Of nuptia1 agents and operate on the trains as they travel, seeklng the acquaintance of likely ap- bearing candidates to whom they ex- even less than half a chance.
 The matrimonial agents carry a sample oase' in the form of a large album, leather bound with handles, and which is nearly as large as a suitcase. the album containing pho as being in the market for a gold fish, wife.
 Thessa agents work on a conmis- sion basis, being paid by the bureau managers who when a match is made charge 4 per cent. of the woman's wealth, payable im1n ediately after the marriage takes place, the bureau also the successful man candidate, payable in 1nstallnents, certain length of time after the wedding date.
 One matrim onia1 bureau advertised recently that the names of 5000 mar women were listed on it's books and that there were only 133 men candidates to meet the emer-

them off the streets and out of mis- chief. Some of them earn as high as three dollars a day"
 Senator Shoot did not add, be cause he probably does not know, that, in Colorado. the work is so much more extensive and the sys- tenn Of school administration so in- ferior to that in his own state. that 1t also keeps the children out of school and that in the majority OF cases the children themselves do not receive or have the spending of the money they earn
 If a man like Senator Shoot has this idea, Is it any wonder that the interested farmer holds much the same opinion? The farmer from the nature of his isolated existence is an indfyiduaIist. He believes he can dc with his own children as he pleases. He has always been hard worker as were his parents before him He sees no reason why his children should not work

1 as hard. He considers play an un-
 necessary waste of time.
 AS a result of this attitude, 1t is
 almost impossible to get any direct legislation protecting farm children. Farm child labor exists in three forms-First, where children work for their own parents on the home farm; second, where they hire out to others for wages; third, where they work with their parents under contract to others. The form most prevalent in any given region va rfes with the stage of agriculture. Usually each farm section passes through three stages, exploitation. specialization and diversification. The first stage is the boom period when the region is opened up. Families move in, take up land and aim to get as much out of 1t as possible and as quickly as pos sible and move on. The labor supply is strained. Families are migrating. Child labor reaches an
 unfortunate point School faciit-
 ties are inadequate. Proper home
 conditions are totally lacking and
 recreatfonal and moral surround
 ings at low ebb While the child
 usually works for his own parents
 his condition is about as bad as
 when he works for others.
 In the second stage. that of special lzation, the region has discovered the
 crop to which 1t is best adapted
 and gone in for 1t heavily. It Is
 in these one crop regions where farming Is in the second stage that the greatest amount of child labor
 and It's worst form is found. The children of farm laborers and ten ants are the chief sufferers rather than the children of the owners of farms. More than one-half the families who live on the land and do farm work are either tenants or farm laborers. Conditions of life for tenants and laborers have become harder as conditions of
