The EetestabIe Dance.

VIII "The Last Waltz" lead to a
revival of the waltz in England? Miss
Milford, the sedate author of "Our
Village" would have been Mortified at
the very idea. Writing in 1914, she
described the waltz as a "detestable
dance" adding, In addition to the
obvious reasons which all women
ought to have for disliking 1t, 1 can
not perceive its much vaunted graces."

How the Fires Start.

In the forests of the Rockies the
evergreens stand some distance apart
so that their tops do not touch. says
the school Book of Forestry" of the
American Tree association. AS re-
suit these western forests do not
shade the ground as well as those in
the East. This causes the soils of
these forests to be much drier, and
also increases the danger from fire.

IMMIGRANTS VEER;;
OLD CLASS COMING

Washington.-Fo the first time in
80 years the immigration tide to this
country has veered the past IL months
from southern and eastern Europe to
nothern Europe, according to figures
compiled by the bureau of immigra-
ton. The final percentages, it is es-
timated, will show that 65 per cent
of European immigration came from
the north and east, compared with 33
per cent the previous year.
With the exception of Germany, all
the northern and western European
nations filled, or virtually filled, their
quotas under the 3 per cent restrict
i've law, where as the same sections
of Europe, in 1922, sent only AZ per
cent of those admissible.
AS was expected, the southern and
southeastern European nations eX-
hausted their quotas, but the fact that
the northern and western nations fill
ed their allotments sent the tide in
their direction Just before the war

only Is tolls per cent of the total.

BY International Labor News Service.
Jersey City, n Largely as a
result of the exposure of sweat shop
conditions made by organized labor,
the sweat shops have been virtually
all driven from Jersey City.
international Labor News Service
has already told how organized labor
led in the fight on sweat shops, expos
ing conditions which stirred New Jer-
sey and resulted in a statewide cam
paign against sweat shop labor The
campaign routed the Jersey City
sweat shop operators, though two of
them who were convicted are showing
fight and have secured writ which
will take their conviction before the
supreme court in Trenton next No
vember.
Evil conditions revealed by the
sweat shop investigation were out
lined by Health Officer James j.
Hagen in a report to Mayor Hague.
Hagen made the investigation in CO.
operation with Mrs. Nellie Smith,
counselor of vocational guidance and
a member of the Jersey City School
Teachers Union. In his report,
Hagen said:
"All public and parochial schools
were visited and from the principals
we secured list of children doing
work at home The homes were then
visited by our pubic heath nurses
and sanitary inspectors to ascertain
facts regarding sanitation of prem
ises, ages and health of workers,
whether license had or had not been
granted by the commissioner of la
Dor and other information of value to
the proper authorities,

doing sweat shop work at home;
these children being between the ages
of six and fourteen years Teachers
stated that these children were re-
tarded in their lessons and because
of this children were compelled to
work after school and until late at
night, causing many cases of defec-
tive eyesight.
During school hours some were SO
tired that they fell asleep at their
desks One teacher stated that the
majority of children in her class OF
forty were unable to do their lessons
in the classroom because they were
compelled to labor at home. None of
these children had working papers
and all were under fourteen years of
age
THE classes of work are as fol-
lows: Night gowns, bloomers, shirts,
beading, embroidery, caps, dolls, and
dolls clothing, infants wear, pants
and flowers.
Many homes were found unsani-
tary and persons suffering from COM
municable diseases were found en-
ployed therein. Cases of tuberculosis,
trachoma, malnutrition, hemorrhages,
curvature of the spine, de fective eye
sight, etc, were reported by nurses
and inspectors. We are of the
opinion that if a medical inspection
was made of each person SO employed
that great many cases of disease
would be located among these people.
"The wages paid these people are
pitifully small Whole families COM
posed of three or four make as low as
50 to $5 a week. Some children re-
ceive from 70 cents to $120 weekly
for their labor"
