EVEN PERSIA SEES THE LIGHT
FrIshtful Conditions Of Child Labor in
That Country Have Been Greatly
Ameliorated.

Child carpet weavers OF Persia are
to have an easier life hereafter. Ac-
cording to the London Daily News, by
an agreement between the carpet trad
Ing companies and the Union Of Mas
ter Weavers in Herman, no boy may
now work in a factory before eight
years Of age or girl before ten.
An eight-hour day Is the maximum
for children under fourteen.
In addition, not only must the sheds
be properly heated. but the little work
ers are to be given seats with backs
on which to sit as they work. singing
the song which tells of the pattern
they are making; they are often too
young to remember II by any other
method.
Bishop Linton of the Church Mis-.
sionary society, in his Sketches on
Persia" tells how in low, unheated
sheds the children from four or five
upward have hitherto sat knOtting
threads all day and every day
As the pattern climbs the loom the
rough beam on which the children sit
is raised. To prevent themselves fall
Ing to the ground they cross their legs
underneath. and mt the end Of the
days work they have to be lifted
down, as they are too crNnped to walk
Many are permanently crippled and
can never support themselves on their
legs.

marriage at eight or nine years.

The Water Cure,

According to press dispatches Bos-
ton is facing a building crisis due to
a combination of circumstances,
among which are noted the following:
Proposed wage increase from 81 to
$1.1212 per hour; double pay for over
time; firemen for hoisting engines to
be classed as engineers; wages fixed
for bricklayers to be understood as
minimum with no maximum limit; ap-
premiership SO restricted as to insure
scarcity of skilled labor.
Far be it from us to say whether
the union workers in Boston are ask
ing too much of the people who pay
the bills. That is a question they must
settle among themselves. 1t might
not be inappropriate to remark, how
ever, that many years ago an attempt
was made to force the people of Bos-
ton to buy some tea which they did
not want, prices and taxes considered.
The tea was thrown overheard.

SWEET CODE BILL
viii BE Brought Before House But
VIII BE Defeated.

Denver, Mar. l3.-No attempt will
be made by the Republican majority
in the state Legislature to block free
and open discussion OF the Sweet ad-
mlnistrative code bill. Although eX-
perience of Illinois and Nebraska has
proved that an administrative code and
the resulting one-man government was
"a costly failure in those states, the
Republican Legislators will not carry
their opposition to the Sweet measure
to the extent of keeping the bill from
being brought upon the floor.
Republican members of the house
rules committee consented to the re-
quest OF Democratic representatives
to bring out the Sweet code bill this
week Had the Republicans object
ed, a two-thirds vote of the house
would have been necessary to bring
the bill out Of committee.
Although the rules committee still
has the Lambert consolidation bill un-
der consideration, and had planned to
bring that Republican measure out
first, the members decided to give the
Sweet bill the precedence in order that
they might expediate the work Of the
Legislature.
Because the Republicans are united
in opposition to the costly one-man
system of state government and the
resulting multiplication of state en-
ployes, it is expected that the Sweet
bill will be killed in the house; but be-
fore it has been defeated, an oppor-
tunity will be given for the state to
become fully acquainted with its pro-
visions.
The Lambert bill, when finally pre-
sented, will have met the most exact
ing requirements of men of wide ex-
perience in public affairs and of thoro
knowledge of the details of state gov
.ernment. Among those who have been
called into consultation with represen-
tatives considering the bill are Her
bert S. Hadley, former governor of
Missouri; Allyn Cole of Lamar, form
er speaker of the state house of rep
resentatives; Karl c. Schuyler, and a
large number of other men prominent
in public life in Colorado.
After the consolidation bills have
been disposed of, the legislature will
at once take up the long appropria-
tion bill. Details of this bill must
await final decision of the legislature
and of the governor in regard to the
consolidation measures, it being the
opinion of the majority that a decid
ed saving in expenditures and there
fore a reduction in appropriations
would be made possible through en-
actment and signing of the Lambert
Bill. Many of the items of the ap-
preparation bill, however, have been
decided in committee after long de-
liberation. AS enacted, the bill will
be a concrete expression of the de-
sire of the Republican majority in the
Colorado legislature to cut down ex-
penses and reduce the burden on the
taxpayer.

down last night after Maughan had

LIGHTNING ROD COMING

FARM FIRES PREVENTED

NEW YORK, July 2o.-Property
owners throughout the country are
urged TO equip their buildings with

OF Fire Underwriters, which today

caused by lightning could thus be
prevented. The losses by IRE caused

nually.
A widespread Indifference to this
form of protection exists. however.
due to the swindiing methods en-
ployed by lightning rod dealers in the
past, and the fact that II is highly
difficult TO obtain an expert who can
determine whether or not installation
has been correctly done.
Careful research by electrical au.
thorities including DR.. Charles p.
Steinmetz of the General Electric
company, and Thomas A. Edison
have proven conclusively the Ell
cheney of the lightning rod as a
safety device, tho Underwriters de-
clare.

NO MORE ATTEMPTS
THIS YEAR, ORDER.

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-rhe army
air service announced today that the
attempt to make q daylight-to-dark
nig hit across the continent in which
Lieutenant. Russell L.. Vaughan has
failed twice. had been called off for
the year.
No explanation accompanied the
announcement but It is understood air
service officials are convinced that
the shortening Of the available day
light period during another interval
or preparation would be sufficient 10
make II improbable that Lieutenant
/, Vaughan could each his destination
At San Francisco before dark.
A loss OF Is minutes or more in
available daylight time was computed
as between the date Of the first INC
second attempts. and return of the
ship TO New York and Is overhaul
for q third effort would require an
equal II not greater loss.
Experience in the first two flights
also demonstrated that considerable
delays must be expected because OF
unfavorabls winds and other weather
conditions in various sections, and air
services officials do not believe the
chances OF success OF n third attempt
SO late in the year would Justify the
effort.
There appears 10 be no doubt in the
minds OF officers. however. that the
daylight to dark flight will again be
attempted next year when mid-sum-
mer affords the greatest possible day
light time for the experiment.

But mine was largely a cultivated

And my girlish looks at my grand

taught me to use clay. They said
That famous beauties Of all asss had

They then used crude snd muddy
Elays, like many use today. But they
have since perfected clay by 20 years

BY countless tests thsy have found
this supreme clay. a rare mineral
clay. They have learned how
10 refine It. to remove the useless
mud. My clay today is white and
clean and dainty. They have found
added factors which bring new and
