Lovejoy, a director of the American
Child Health Association and general
secretary of the National Child Labor
Committee. Both organizations, work

work accrue to the good Of the other,
in the opinion of Mr.. Lovejoy.
The American Child Health Associa-
ton is concerning itself with the
health of children from birth through
the school age. It's membership runs
into the thousands and extends to
foreign countries. In the decade 1919
to 1920, according to Mr.. Lovejoy, the
number of children 10 to Is years Of
age in mines and quarries decreased
so per cent. Child labor in mills and
factories, in the same period decreased
20 per cent. The National Child La
Dor Committee is advocating two
things in general; first, improvement
of State laws on child labor and, sec.
ond, amendment to the Federal con-

Saunders, one time grocery clerk.
was ready to surrender stock and con-
troll in the management of the Pig
gly-Wiggly chain of self-service
stores which he founded. His obliga-
lions. according to estimates. totaled
$4,000 0O This was money borrowed
to carry on a campaign to force up
the price Of Piggly- Wiggly stock.
Nearly a year ago Saunders believed
spectators were trying to ruin him
by forcing down the price of stock
in his stores. He bought all Of the
Piggly-Wiggly stock offered for sale.
Pools were formed among business
men TO raise money to finance Saun-
ders in purchasing the stock.
THE grocery clerk f1nancier" OBJ
tanned nearly all of the outstanding
stock and when those who had sold
short tried to buy to cover their sales
the price was forced up from S32 a
share to around $500.
When Saunders had more than
$4,000, 900 in paper profits. the board
of governors Of the New York Stock
Exchange suspended trading in the
stock, declaring a corner existed.
No Market Left.
With no market left for his hold
ings, Saunders was unable to sell Sc
curities to pay the money borrowed
from the pools. He announced he
would retire from the presidency and
give up all control in Piggly-Wiggly
