Teachers in High
Schools Fight the
TWO-Shift System

The high school teachers are oppos-
ed to the shift system in the schools
and the long day because both are
detrimental to scholarship, Carl A..
Hoffman, representing the high
school teachers told the school plan
commission.
He said the high school teachers
are in favor Of smaller high school
classes where the pupils can get bet
ter attention from the teachers.
William McAndrews. new superin-
tendent Of schools, said he favored
large high schools Of from $500 TO
5000. His chief reason for favoring
large schools seemed to be that he
thought them cheaper to build.

Youth Views
Coolidge Classes Child Labor
with Booze.
BIZ HARRY CANNES

~ootldGe classes Nnilo LABOR
with Booze.
CHASING the exploitation Of the
100000 child workers in this coun-
try with dope and liquor, Strike
breaker Coolidge, completely lodged
the issue Of the abolition of child
labor in his first message to con-
gress.
He is for Limitation Of child
labor" "for purposes Of national uni
formity." The fact that the millions
of children are in jeopardy of life
and limb in dangerous mines, shops
and factories is of no concern to the
anti-labor president.
Coolidge's recommendations to
congress are entirely in harmony
with the actions Of the United. States
Supreme Court on the two occasions
In which they threw out two national
anti-child labor laws.
Anti-child labor legislation, declar-
ed the Supreme Court, was a matter
for state action and the federal
government should not intervene in
regulations affecting the life and limb
of the children. Coolidge declares
that the carrying out of any law
would be a question for local consid-
Grafton plus the "power Of enforce
ment in the influence Of public
opinion"
Experience has shown that even
with definite anti-child labor laws, in
many states, providing for appro-
priations for factory inspectors, such
laws were not carried out.
The first need DIS expressed by
Coolidge for his magnanimous opin-
ion that child labor should be treated
as booze, is that it would secure
greater continuity Of production" In
other words, would benefit the fac
tory owners.
Coolidge's message definitely
proves that the oppressed children
, can expect nothing from the boss's
government to relieve their aching
backs from immature labor.
Samuel Gompers' agitation against
child labor has resulted, not in get
ting the masses of workers them
selves interested in the abolition OF
this admitted evil, but precisely in
the statement of Coolidge.
More than ever, all working class
organizations should intensity their
activities against child labor, as nc
help can be expected from Washing.
ton. The present administration takes
into account primarily the cost to
the manufacturers and to the finance
capitalists, and considers not at all
the bitterness Of the children labor
ing under the blistering sun in the
South, or the unhealthy factories ir
the North.

THE RosE.BUsH

By HERMINIA FUR MULLEN
Synopsis: A beautiful rose
bush, owned by rich lady, in
big, white house, had talked
with her friend, the Wind. The
Wind had told her how The
rich people own everything and
never work. The rose bush had
decided TO go on strike and not
look beautiful for the benefit of
the rich LADY,
Then followed bad days for the
Rose-bush, for she had decided not
to drink any water. that she might
cease blooming. When her friend
came with the waterproof she drew
hor little roots close to herself, that
no drops might touch them. All,
how she suffered; she thought she
would faint. In the daytime the
sun shone, and she became more
thirsty every hour, always longing
more for water. And, at last, at
evening came the longed-for drink,
,ut she dared not sip the full
draught, she had TO turn away from
The cool pervious liquid, to thirst
again. After a while she thought
she could not endure it. But the
wind came flying, tanning her, COM
forting her, singing softly md
:ently, BE brave, be brave! You
will conquerl"
Day after day the Rose-bush
gazed at the cleaning white house
IN which lived people who had ev-
rrything they wanted, and then
cooked at the street, where others
passed by with thin, pale faces that
we're tired and sad, and this brought
new strength to her heart.
She became constantly more sick
and more weak; her arms hung
down feebly, her blossoms dropped
their petals, her leaves became
wrinkled and yellow. The man who
Tended her watched her sadly and
asked, what is wrong, my poor
Rose-bush?" and he tried every
remedy he knew Of to help her
cut all in vain. One morning, in
stead Of handsome, blooming Rose
bush, he found a miserable, with.
red. dead bush.
That could not remain there, the
Nithered branches and flowers spoil.

State Police Are
Self Supporting
Fines Paid During May Amount to
More Than Operating Expenses.

As the members Of the State High
way Police continue to increase il
efficiency and to extend their actiyi.
ties throughout the State their value
| as a protective force for the residents
OF Delaware is more clearly demon
strated and striking feature of the
! new department is the fact that it is
DOW more than self sustaining as is
demonstrated by the report of their
work for May.
During the last month the total op-
Grating expenses of the department
amounted to $2,736.79, whereas the
total fines paid by persons who had
been arrested by the highway police
amounted to $2,935. The total fines
not paid amounted to SLIPS. These
nOn-payments were due to the pris-
Oners being without funds and going
to prison to serve them out.
The total number of arrests made
by the highway police during May
amounted to 119 and the total num-
Der of reprimands was 295. The
causes for arrests and the number of
arrests for each were as follows:
Reckless driving, 30; operating an au-
to while under the influence of liquor,
10; no operators license, 16; no mir

Bonus Certificates
Not Negotiable

Attempts of "scalpers" to buy up
for cash at large discounts adjusted
compensation certificates from world
war veterans will be met by drastic
action.
A statement to this effect was made
at Washington by officials of the Vet
erans Bureau to representatives of
the American Legion.
Attention of the Bureau was called
to an advertisement in which a veter
an offered to sell his certificate Ito
the highest cash bidder"
Bureau officials were also advised of
reports that a huge financial pool is
being organized in leading middle
western city for the purpose of buy
ing up compensation certificates in
the hope of Teaping huge profits at
the expense of the veteran and of the
government.
The "scalper," it was pointed out,
will in all probability find himself if
he buys up such a certificate, with
only a non negotiable "scrap of pa
. per-" The government has no inten-
tion of permitting wholesale scalp
ing" of certificates, inquiry at the vet
erans' bureau and among members of
congress revealed.
The law was carefully drawn, it
was said, to protect the veteran and
his dependents and to throw all pos
sible safeguards around their inter-
ests. Section COG of the law will pre-
vent payment by the government to
any other than the veteran himself or
his dependents or beneficiaries desig- |
mated only by the director of the vet |
erans' bureau.
This section is as follows:
"No right to payment under the pro
visions of this title shall be assign
able as security for any loan. Any as
signment or loan made in violation of
the provisions of this section shall be
held void. The director shall not
make any payments under this title to
any person other than the dependent
or such representative of tne depend
ent as the director shall by regula-
ton prescribe"
Authorities are agreed, that per-
sons who attempt to purchase adjust
ed service certificates will find them
selves the losers.

Wills DECLARES
ODDS ALL !.
WRONG
Can't See Why Gibbons
SHOULD Be I to 4 Bet
Against Norfolk

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Harry
Wills has come right out with a
statement that the betting odds on
next Tuesdays bout between Tom
Gibbons and Young Norfolk at
Madison Square Garden are all out
OF line.
"I'll be darned if / can see why
Gibbons should be 1-to-4 favorite,
says the Black Panther. "I'Il adj
nit that Gibbons is a fine boxer,
but if you look over his record you
will see that he has had his hands
full in bouts in which he has met
men of his own size. Against the
big, slow,footed fellows Gibbons
speed and boxing ability have car
ried him through with ease, but
that has not been the case in his
meetings with men of his own
size-fellows who can step around.
Norfolk is just about Gibbons
size, and though he may not be
quite as clever as Tom, l think he
is every bit as fast. Certainly Nor
folk is just as rugged as Gibbons
and is his equal in punching
power"
While on the subject Wills went
on to talk about the two ten-round
bouts. He refused to pick win
ner in the Flowers Wilson shindig,
but did say that the Tiger was the
fastest middleweight in the ring to-
day. Harry figures that Wilson s
body punching is likely to cause
Flowers a lot Of annoyance. Wills
made his comment on the O'Brien-
Vicentini- fight short and snappy.
"They are two terrific punchers,"
he said, land theefirst one to land
on the button will win"
