president OF the League: William r.

of Dover, chairman OF the womens s

proposed amendments provide for
changes in the law as follows:
To raise the minimum age for

dangerous occupations from Is to 16
years.
To provide that In any town hav-
ing a population of over 10000 in

Miss Southwick in explaining the
necessity Of the proposed changes
said:
The one object OF these measures
is to conserve the health OF the chill
dren affected. for defective health is
the foundation not only of inemci-
ency but of much unemployment.
pauperism. degeneracy and crime.
1T has been proved scientifically
that the most important period OF
growth is the period OF adolescence
extending from the twelfth to the
eighteenth year. At this time vital
ity is needed for growth of the body
and not merely for the maintenance.
1T is therefore especially i'm
portant that the boy or girl shall
not be overstrained or over-fatigued
at this time. They should not enter
modern industry until the close OF
this period. The State should abso-
lutely bar them until at least Il
years.
'If eight hours is the fatigue limit
for the adult whose period Of growth
is past, IT is surely the limit for the
growing child. Also it is impera-
tive that the child have an abun-
dance of fresh air. sunshine and
sleep. The eight-hour day for chill
dren Is therefore imperative. not
only for some children in some oc-
eupations, but for all children in all
occupations irrespective OF the an
parent needs of the industry or of
the immediate necessity of the
family"

addressing a Wilmington audience
he confined most Of his remarks to
the problems that confront the Will
mington Board OF Education.
Or. Brown told the Lions Club
members that the Wilmington board
could hardly get along with the ap-
preparation made by the State and
the local moneys appropriated by
City Council, and that if the State
appropriation should be reduced
Wilmington schools would suffer
more than other schools, because
there are more responsibilities to
be cared for here and the appro-
priation from the State is larger.
He cited the official survey re-
Gently made of the Wilmington
schools, In which it was shown that
of the thirty-one buildings in the
city, but one was really fireproof
and that but ten were sanitary
when compared with modern con-
ditions.

attention to was that If the rural

Brown pointed out.

DR.. Brown referred to the fact

WASHINGTON WATCHING
PREPARATIONS MOVES

WASHINGTON, May 2:-The
American government is watching
very closely, but in complete silence,
the latest attempt to smooth out the
reparations tangle in Europe.
State Department officials had not
yet completed today their study of
the German note, but there was no
indication that when they had done
so this government would have any
public or private advice to give the
Allies as to acceptance or rejection
of the German proposals.
Naturally, there is qualification in
Washington that Secretary Hughes
suggestion for an inquiry by an i'm
partial commission of economists has
been brought to the force once again.
Even to that phase of the question,
however, as well as regarding the
suggestion for an application of the
Bryan treaty principle, there is a
complete absence of auth oritative
comment.
The unwillingneSs to discuss the
subject is ascribed to a continuation
of the policy adopted here at the
very beginning of the present diff
culties. The United States is not
participant in the collection of gen.
eral reparations from Germany, and
therefore is not regarded by Presi-
dent Harding and his advisers as
party to the disagreements now un-
der discussion. Furthermore, it is
felt here that no offer of aid can
be made becomingly until such aid
is requested by the nations involved,

RUM FLEET SEXES TWO
ALLEGED BOOZE SHIPS

NEW YORK, May 2.-The govern
ment centering a triangular attack
on the rum fleet off the Jersey
coast, today had seized a tug and
motor launch carrying provisions and
fuel to the alien craft anchored off
the three mile limit.
The latest step was taken after
announcement was made in Wash
ington that coast guard cutters
would keep the fleet constantly un-
der watch to discourage customers
putting out from shore, and dry
agents working in Northern New
Jersey with recruits drawn from
New York and Philadelphia, began
holding up all automobiles suspec-
ted of carrying liquor landed by
runners.
For several months the customs
.servtce has been contemplating
making a test case out of American
vessels ferrying supplies to the for
eign rum shirG. Some doubt was
held as to whether such action con-
stituted violation of the Nolstead
Act.
Last night the cutter Seneca, COM
1nanded by Ensign Albert Martin
son, ran down and captured the tug
Alex Clark and the launch VICE"
The tug had just finished provision
ing the rum ship Robert Arthur and
the launch had on board a dozen
drums oftkerosene alleged to have
been intended for the British schoon-
er Katherine Mary.
Reports later were received here
that the Seneca had captured a
third boat and that she would be
brought into the harbor later in the
day. All the seizures were made out

uled TO be launched last night at a
meeting of prominent Middlesex
county Democratic leaders in New
Brunswick, according to an an
nouncement made by County Chair
man Edmund A. Hayes, of that city,

As far as could be learned this

boost the candidacy of the New Jer-
sey governor for the highest Of
fee in the country. Governor Sill
zer was not present at the meeting,
but his secretary, Fred NJ. 2. Pearse
attended.

would be launched at the meeting
last night, but no information could

about fifteen men, recognized as
Democratic county leaders. The
meeting was in the form of supper,
and, as far as can be learned, no
rames of likely candidates for this
years election came up for discus
sion. The committee is said to have
decided to leave this to the entire
county committee, believing it to be

by the entire committee instead of
by handful of members.

ROAD ACTION
TAKEN IN CITY
Engineer Booz in Trenton in
Move to Get State Funds
for This City

City Engineer Louis z. Booz, Jr.,
was in Trenton yesterday iE consul
tation with members of the State
Highway Commission in connection
with the obtaining Of funds for the
upkeep of the streeta in this city,
used by foreign traffic and the re-
pair of the detour road while the
new section of Amboy avenue is in
course of construction. Due to the
fact that quorum was not present,
the meeting of the commission
scheduled for yesterday, according
10 Mr.. Booz, was not held and for
this reason he was unable to OBJ
tain the state aid for the roads, al
though the commission looked with
favor ON the proposition made by the
aldermen at the conference here
last week.
Members of the commission, Mr.
Booz said, declared that they have
received several complaints concern
ins the condition of the Amboy ave-
nue. detour and are favorably in
clined towards maintaining the de-
tour until the new road is COM
pleted The cost of putting the de-
tour in shape to carry the heavy
summer traf' ~Ttimated at $4,000.
Mr.. BooZ declared that he did
not receive much encouragement in
obtaining state aid for the upkeep
of Sheridan street and other streets
owned by the city. but which it IS
claimed are worn out by the heavy
foreign traffic operating between the
ferry and the state bridge. The
Commission, according to Mr.. Booz
realizes the extent of the foreign
traffic which uses the streets of the
city leading to the bridge and ferry,
but declare they see no legal way
in which state aid can be given.
During his stay in Trenton yes
terday. Mr.. Booz took up the ques-
ton of costs and needs of the roads
with Mr. Stanley of the maintenance
department. Mr.. Stanley in the near
future expects to make a personal
insp ection of the roads in this vi
cinity.

FRANCE WILL
REJECT OFFER
That is Indication According
to Tone of Dispatches
From Paris on Note

PARIS, May 2 (By The Associated
Press) THE new German PROPOSE
tions for reparation settlement are
so far from acceptable to France
that fiat rejection of them is re-
garded by persons close to Premier
Poincare as inevitable. This rejec-
ton, it is stated, will probably be
followed by an extension of the occu-
patton on the right bank of the
Rhine.
1t was announced at the German
embassy that the note would be de-
livered to the French foreign Of
flee at p. M. but the foreign Of
fee had about noon the unofficial
text given out by the German semi
official News Agency.
The French authorities found the
offer to be in nearly every respect
just as forecast in the reports re-
ceived from Berlin last week an1
therefore entirely unsatisfactory,
from their view point.
Official comment on the offer wfs
reserved until the official text had
been examined, but it was MADE
known in a semi official source that
Premier Poincare will refuse to take
it into consideration, regarding 1T
chiefly as piece of propaganda in
tended to convince netrals of Ger
