neglect Of the training Of the children the worst
When the subject Of Child Labor up many people
inclined poohpooh it. When people do see chill
dren in their immediate vicinity engaged in suntng labor
they inclined think that the cry against Child Labor
from fanatics and senmentalists AS matter Of
fact child Of every twelve between the ages Of
ten and sixteen years. total of million children was
reported by the 1920 Census 'gainfuIy employed
These children according the facts collected by Harold
Cary, be found in cotton silk and wooden mills in
cannere cigar factories coal mines and restaurants also
in tenements making such things clothing flowers,
feathers ewey and bed springs also in beet fields in
other agricultural work.
certain Of work is good for children provided
the work part Of their educational training tends
to make them good citizens and to their health and
intelligence. 't''.'...
But of the Child Labor in the United States not Of
this kind
For instance the Chidren Bureau reports on the boys
who work in coal mines follows:
These boys worked in the constant which the coal
makes its rshes down the chute broken the crushing
machines sorted the shakers Black coal dust every

workers The slate sharp that the slate pckers often
bruise their hands, the coal the chute

pickers The first few weeks after the boy begins work

which the minority is putting the majority We
know Congress is against it, for instance because has
passed two national child labor laws But both thrown
out by the Supreme Court bag and baggage Conditions
are getting worse again Those laws did good but
it is amazing how the situation has gone back since they
were killed.
Mr. Cary points out that the majority Of the people of the
country do not want this sort of thing small minority
aided by inertia and Indifference is putting ap

PHILADELPHIA TELLS OF
CAPITAL IN THE SIXTIES

Editor, The Washington Times:
~ JRING the sixties, long be-
fore men thought Of electric
~ transportation. there was q
branch horse car line which ran
from the old Baltimore and Ohio
depot to High street (now Thirty.
second street,, GEORGETOWN. Upon
my arrival entered one Of these
depot" cars, and after waiting
ten minutes rode to the terminus,
and surely got the worth of NV
Scent fare. I learned from the
car windows enough Of the ave-
nues, streets and circles to help
me ever afterward. Within few
days was employed as a tele-
graph messenger and was deliver
ing dispatches in all sections Of q
strange city.
The addresses Of all Congress
men and Senators were then regu.
larly printed in the Washington
daily papers. Before and after the
sittings Of Congress messages
were carried to members at their
hotels or private residences. Dur
ing the hours Of the session, di.
rectly to the House and Senate.
Even at that early day I had
many kilograms for the con.
spicuous party leaders.
Another Of my duties was to
!, collect the dispatches prepared by
special correspondents at the Capt..
tol for their respective papers and
carry them to the telegraph office.
Some Of those war and postwar
correspondents were brilliant
writer's and became famous In the
newspaper world; some became
editors and publishers and some
the authors of fascinating books.
While waiting for copy in the
reporters gallery heard many
bits Of eloquence from Repre-
sentatives like Blaine, Butler, Cox,
Logan, Randall and Voorhees,, and
from Senators like Edmunds,
Sherman, Thurman and Wilson
and others whose names were
household words in the nation.
Is it any wonder my boyish heart
hoped that one day I, too, could
command the attention of men:
Seeing distinguished statesmen
every day, in time lost my awe
of them. But to a boy with
an Imagination, it was never so
with the Indian chiefs who Wis
tied Washington to see the Great
White Father, Andrew Johnson,
or U. s. Grant. Their feathers.
painted faces, moccasins, orna.
mented leggfngs. and big, red
blankets aroused an interest that
no politician could. And the bows
and arrows they made were priced
by Washington boys far above
anything that could be purchased
in the toy shops.
"Some Indians visited the city
every year and always created a
stir among the young people, but
when the Hon. Arson BurlingaIne
came with his Chinese Mandarins
and their numerous attendants,
in full Oriental costume. Wash.
ington had the newest kind of
sensation. Until then the citi.
gems Of the capital had never
seen O Mandarin and thousands
The Washington times., 1924-03-11

watched their movements with
curiosity till the Chinese treaty
was signed in 1868-a measure Of
tremendous value to the Celestial
Empire. My business brought me
In contact with the party on
various occasions. I was fortu-
nate enough to get one Of the
long scarlet visiting cards, and
several pieces of cash" or Chi
nese small change. At the Metro.

tendants eating their dinner with
chop sticks, something entirely
new In table etiquette in a pop.
ular dining room.
t also saw repeatedly the IA
nous frontiersman, trapper, and
hunter, Kit" Carson. the guide
OF Fremont's explorations. What
boy Of that day who had read the
Munro and Beadle dime novels
would not be fascinated by this
renowned scout and Indian inter-
prefer? However, L was disap-
pointedk because he never did any.
thing extraordinary on the streets
or Washington, as my wild
imagination expected. While his
dress was somewhat unusual, he
behaved quite as well as any other
decent citizen.
But Exit" Carson came and
went. He died in 1868, lamented
by every reader of Indian stories.
The Chinese came and went. and
Mr.. Burlingame got busy else
where. The Indian chiefs came
and went, but Congress went on
perennially. Once more In 1858
the House and Senate came into
the brilliant limelight and at.
tracted the eyes of the nation
when 1t voted for the impeach-
ment trial of Andrew johnson.
The multitudes poured into Wash.
ington, and the excitement rose
to fever heat.
The corridors Of the National.
Metropolitan, and Willard Hotels
were crowded to suffocation. The
atmosphere was surcharged with
dangerous electricity. Would the
decision mean war or peace?
Would the country be again torn
by civil strife? Many thought so.
General Grant made special prep
arations to suppress any uprising.
Representatives of the leading
papers, North and South, East
and West, were on hand to gather
the latest phase Of the trial and
rush special reports to an anxious
public. Constituents reported the
sentiment Of the folks at home
to their members of Congress.
So in Geographic circles We we've
more than busy.
A merciful Providence overruled
an imminent disaster through the
action of one Republican Senator,
Ross of Kansas. who refused to
follow his party leaders.
The nomination of General
Grant at the National Republican
Convention, his election and in.
auguration diverted the thoughts
Of the people so that comparative
peace came once more to Wash.

A MAGNIFYING glass collects

IA as 1t collects sunlight there.
The suns rays produce the effect
of heat as well as Of light. BY
bending the rays inward from oil
sides, the lens concentrates upon
a very small point the amount OF
energy that the rays would have
distributed over an area equal to
that Of the entire lens, II they

Suppose that the diameter Of
the lens ig two inches, and that
of the focal area on which the
rays are concentrated one.Six-
tenth of an inch. Then there

produced by the concentration OF
sunlight at the focus Of q lens
may be obtained by concentrating
the rays at the focus Of q con-
cave mirror. You may expert
ment with this by using a SHAW
ing glass" which magnifies the
image of the shaver's face. I
once saw q large toy elephant
filling, with its head half burned
away by solar rays which had
been focused on 1t In a shop
window in consequence Of the
incautious placing Of shaving
glass" in the sunshine.
There is q famous tradition,
which may be substantially his.
torical. that the great Syracusan
engineer Archimedes set fire,
with Q battery of conclave mirrors
rejecting sunshine. to the Roman
ships moored against the harbor
walls Of the city during the siege
Of Marcellus.
In modern times, practically
efficient engines have been con-
structed, furnishing several horse
power from steam developed in
boilers heated by concentrated
sunshine. There is little doubt
that we might obtain much more
mechanical energy in this way.
Going outside the atmosphere
would not prevent the action OF
a lens, or conclave mirror, in pro-
ducing heat from concentrated
solar rays. On the contrary, It
would rather teHvd IN increase fho

LISTEN, WORLD!

"HERE'S new instrument called the
Clavilux. It resembles an organ and
Il is manipulated by keys But from that
manipulation proceeds something utterly
unlike organ music, although perhaps as
great in beauty as any tonal harmony. The
Clavilux produces light forms rather than
sound forms. As the performer touches the
keys in darkened room, rays Of light fall
upon a screen. Languid and wraith-ike at
first, they soon quicken and intensity. The
lowering beam leaps into blazing pillar Of
light; the faint, gray pool widens until its
circles lash and resurge in crystal surf.
Color is born, family at first, then in vivid
chords that blend and mingle, separate, dis
solve, to disappear at last in subtle mating
of one torn flame. Then-blank.
