From a Republican

1t seems to me that the Democratic
press is taking the wrong tack" to
make Democrat win this fall.
Two years ago we Republicans in
my vicinity decided best interests of
Marion County called for the defeat of
certain nominees on our ticket. The
magnitude of their defeat indicates
that the revolt was countrywide.
The only hope of the Democratic
press this year is. to have Democratic
ballots cast by many-who voted Repub-
lican in 1920. x These are men and
women Of Intelligence, who welcome
constructive criticism, but the criti-
cism now INDUCED in by the Demo
cratic press and a few pin-head Dem
ocratic Congressman is going to drive
these voters back to their first love-
No one anywhere is deigning to
throw a life line to A. b. Fall. He is
already condemned before the bar OF
public opinion. Neither is there any
one who has the intelligence to be a
discriminating voter who regards Cool
idge, DENLY. Roosevelt, Gregory or
McAdoo as having the least faint of
the oil scandal besmirching them in
any way.
One side hunts an accusation to
which the others 'retorts, You're an
other" Both equally right; both
lamentably wrong.
Elevate the plan of your discussion
and criticism and 1 believe you will
get results worth while.

Theological Sample

To the Editor OF The Times
The communication of Joe Saunders
on the Divinity Of Christ is inter
esting as a sample Of much Of the
theological discussion now appearing
in the press. Mr. Saunders assumes
evidence Of Christ's divinity rests
solely on the fact of the virgin birth"
The fact that Mary was not and
Joseph was of the Davidic line had
no relation to the nature and char
acter OF Jesus Christ. That is de-
termined by other evidence than that
OF Jewish genealogies.
Those religious leaders who have
difficulty In accepting the dogma of
the virgin birth have no difficulty in
accepting the doctrine Of the divinity
of Christ. They believe in Christ
divinity as firmly as we do If we ac-
cept their own testimony as to what
they believe. L. L. MURRAY.

ri HE great movements of the

floors, bring mountain ranges
into existence and cause earthquakes
and volcanoes. have an effect upon
the rocks themselves.
This is what we naturally would
expect.
Consequently we find a third type
of rock coming into existence
The sedimentary rocks, 1t will be
remembered. resulted from the wear
ing away Of tine primary or fire-har
dened rocks. the debris being deposit
time it was cemented into new rock
formations.
New Type of Rock
Now we find changes in both igneous
ana sedimentary rocks, creating a new
type of rock known as the metamor-
phic rock. The word "metamorphic"
is formed from the Greek word mean
ing to transform" Hence a meta
morphic rock is a changed or trans
formed rock.
The chief agents which accomplish
the transformations are pressure and
temperature. The presence Of mois-
ture also has an effect.
The rocks are subjected to tremen-
dous pressure in the great earth move
ments. This pressure also helps to
generate heat.
Sometimes rocks are pushed deeper
into the earth where they are heated
as a result of the higher temperatures
deeper down in the earth
The heat and pressure tends to make
the rocks more compact. 1t also caus-
es changes in the character Of the
minerals forming them.
Some Split Easily
A frequent result Of the intense
pressure Is to cause the rocks to as
sumo a sort of Illuminated structure
so that they split easily into thin
sections or layers.

BY ROY J, GIBBONS

~ soPlN4Ae w fiAtI
%ASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-M o r c
lWI than 100000 children are
0 employed in the United States

This statement is based on figures
returned by a score of the country's
larger cities,
Such statistics show an average in
crease OF 40 per cent over the year

permits to work.
Last census returns listed 1850. S5S
between 10 and IS years as working,
OF this number 7S,06S were between
10 and 10 years.
Subsequent increase is attributed
to removal of safeguards provided by
the nullified child labor laws.
One Out of Twelve Work
Investigation establishes:
That for the country as a whole,
one out of every twelve children be-
tween 10 and Is is at work.
That in ten States more than 10
per cent of children between 10 and 10
are at work.
That more children are employed in
agricultural pursuits than in any
other line of work.
That child workers leave school at
early grades.
OF 10000 children examined during
operation Of the first Federal child
labor law, 26.9 per cent were unable
properly to sign their names.
Conditions are summarized as fol
lows by child welfare workers:
In Coal Mines
Pennsylvania-In the anthracite
fields Federal child welfare investiga-
tors found boys of IA working in the
breakers. Newcomers thus employed
who cut their fingers are known as
red tops"
Maryiand-During the summer on
truck farms young children are
worked long hours under insanitary
conditions.
California-Young children work
long hours on fruit farms. These
children are deprived Of schooling
They follow the crops with their par

years old work from sunup to sun.
down during the summer on beet
farms.
Texas-Very young children work
in the cotton fields
Georgia-Boys of 14I5 work at
night.
New England States-Young chill
dren sacrifice eyesight and health
working at home making cheap jew
elry and at other incidental tasks re.
quiring close application.
Canneries Are Exempt
Mississippl-Boys and girls from 5
to II shuck oysters and peel shrimp.
Canneries are exempted from the State
law.
North Carollna-Boys and girls of
IA work eleven hours a day in cotton
mills Boys OF IL work in mills and
factories when schools are not IN SEES
sion and when necessary to the sup
port of their families under special
permit.
Delaware, Maine. Maryland, Michl-
gan and Virginia-Canneries are ex-
empted from the nightword law in
these States as regards the employ
ment Of children.
Nevada, South Dakota, Texas and
Utah-These States place no prohi.
bitton on the employment of children
