A japanese beauty must have

American girl would take to produce

Her eyes, of course, must be long

The japanese girl carries her head
and shoulders slightly forward, and
inclines her body forward from the

steps, her toes turned In and her feet
hardly lifted from the ground. To

Oppose Child Labor Amend

New York-The New York State

Price declared that he was amazed
and shocked" at the committees atti-
tude eff the employers realized that
long hours and dangerous employment
do not work for good business, child
labor legislation would be unneces-
sary," he said "The only right the
state would give up under the pro-
posed amendment would be the right
to neglect tbs children. This amend
ment gives the state unlimited Il wer
to protect its children"
Robert Alfred Shaw cited powers
the constitution now gives congress
and said that with such powers en-
trusted to them no one should be
afraid to delegate authority as pro-
posed in the amendment. ITO adopt
the committees resolution will not do
us credit as an association of busi-

DEFENDS CHILD
LABOR AMENDMENT

Garden City, L. Opposition to
the federal child labor amendment
comes not from persons who oppose
it on principle, but from interests
such as manufacturers, declared Miss
Julia C. Lathrop, former head of the
United States children's bureau, in an
address to club women.
1T is the belief of members of con-
gress and of the public generally that
the right of child to freedom from
toll is inalineable," he said. 'It is
education of mind and conscience in
childhood which alone leads to per-
manent happiness in life"
Miss Lathrop said that 100000
