SNOW WORMS FOUND M FAR NORTHWEST
Prof. Kincaid Discovers Them
 On Glaciers, He Says

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 1G.-Snow worms have been found in the Cascade mountains of Washington and on gla- ciers and mountains in Alaska, Trevor Kincaid, professor of zoology in the University of Washington, declared to- day after an investigation.
 The snow or ice worm is not real ly pink as many assert but is more of brownish hue," said Professor Kin caid. "The brown pigment in it's skin is source of heat which enables the worm to bore it's way through glacier ice like a heated wire. It grows to a length of about an inch, feeding on debris in the ice"

Specimens Valued For Artistic

It should not be imagined that be-.
cause the country was in its infancy

We're no artists. or artisans, Or crafts
men who produce artistic pieces Of
furniture, glass and pottery ware,
or other utensils, forming an attrac.
ton to their primitive households,
1t might be said without fear %
contradiction that, considering the
small population, there were more
artisans in the. early days Of the re
public and prior to that time, who
loved sheir work and did it WE'LL"
than there are today. 1t is, there
lore, not surprising that the public,
especially collectors and art lovers,
are securing the country for "eArly.
American" furniture, clocks, glass
ware, prints, and other articles
made by hand.
Among other valued pieces OF the
American genius are the prints and

The child labor amendment, If
passed by the Senate and House Of
Representatives, must be submitted
to, the States for ratification. and
when ratified by the required num-
Der Of States, it viii become a part
Of the Constitution Of the United
States. Congress will then have
the power to legislate so as to limit,
regulate, and prohibit employment
Of children under eighteen years Of
age.
Education. physical well-being and
recreation are a child's rightful
heritage.
Children Greatest Asset.
Our greatest asset is our children,
and our first concern should be to
give them every opportunity for
education, recreation and physical
development. They are. deprived of
these IL they are employed.
In 1920, there were in the United
States 37S,03 child workers from
ten to thirteen years of age. This
did not include those working chill.
dren under ten years Of age.
In the, same year, l,060,S58 chill.
dren, ten to fifteen years of age,
inclusive. were reported by census
enumerators as engaged in gainful
occupations.
Child labor and illiteracy 60 hand
in hand.
Illiteracy is greatest and school
attendance worst in the States Tlav.
ing the highest proportion Of their
children at work.
1t has been urged. that children,
when employed, help sustain their
parents and other members of their
families.
Children DispIace Adults.
The fact is that their employ.
ment throws out of work the
adults and brings about greater
poverty and restitution.
Those who employ children do
not do It as an act of charity, but
rather because 1t is cheaper to
employ children than adults.
Who are opposed to this amend.
ment?
In the main those who wish to
exploit children for their own
profit. Most Of the opposition to
this amendment comes from the
States which do not have adequate
laws protecting the children.
MOST OF these States are in the
South.
Great Britain, Belgium Bulgaria,
Norway, Germany, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Greece, and Czecho
'siovakia are among the countries
That have national child labor laws
Russia has a sixteen-year min.
imum for employment OF children
In industrial undertakings.
Better OFF in China.
China prohibits night work fol
boys under seventeen years and
girls under eighteen.
Austria, Belgium, Denmark
France, Great Britain, Italy, the
Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Russia,
Kingdom Of the Serbs, Croata and
Slovenes, Sweden and Switzerland
prohibit night work for all under
eighteen years of age.
Most of the countries have lin.
tied the hours Of employment OF
children between sixteen and eigh
teen years of age.
! am firmly OF the opinion that
the people of the United States de-
sire that Congress have the power
to enact legislation to prohibit end
regulate the employment Of chill
drsu under eighteen years Of age.

BLOUNT COUNTY
 SHOWS UP WELL
Oneonta Wins First Game After
 A Hard Battle

ONEONTA, Ala, Oct. 7.-(SpecialO The Blount county high school football team emerged victorious from their con test with the Cherokee county high only after close hard fought game. Blount was badly handicapped because of injuries and fumbles at inoppOrtunc moments robbed them of what seeIhed sure touehdowns. However, their play was marked by the same stubborn de. ,fense which yielded only two first downs ana ieft their goal line still un- threatened. The good work of Lowery at end in covering punts is strong point in their defensive work. Rob efts and McCay at tackles ara especial Sly good at smashing opponents plans behind the line of scrimmagd. Miles, Flowers and Cornelius are three good guards and opponents so far have found center rushes of very little benefit. A@ainst Cherokee, Davidson and Brown were the leading ground gathers with Fambrough as an able assistant.
 = When Blount gets her full lineup in shape to play she will offer real oppO- sition to any team in this district. The offense has been weakened because of injuries on the squad, but the defense has proven itself in two gruelling hard fought contests. No opponent has reached the 20-yard linen and only five first downs have been made in both games.
