WOMEN FOES or CHILD
LABOR LAW OPPONENTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. U.s.
Definitely eontradicting certain
statements of child labor amendment
opponents, and answering their con-
tentions in detail, the IS national or
EXAMINATIONS composing the women's
committee for the children's amend
ment have published a ratification text
book for use in the state elections
campaign.
The women, the text book declares,
have no illusions about the struggle
before them. Opponents are trying
to defeat ratification by spreading
misinformation about the amendment
and what it will do.
The text book contradicts the
amendment opponents on all of their
main points. Setting forth what the
amendment is and does, the text book
Emphasizes what it is not and does
not do, among other points these:
The amendment is an enabling act,
not a statute. To become effective It
must be followed by federal statute
which congress at present Is without
power to enact, as demonstrated by
two adverse decisions of the supreme
court of the United States.
| It grants power to congress here
after to make. laws against the ex-
ploitation of childhood at premature
or injurious labor.
In other words, it enables congress
to fix federal minimum standard for
the employment of children, mini
mum determined by the majority sem
timent Of the states, as expressed
through their representatives in con-
gress.
1t enables congress to deal with in
terstate exploitation which state laws
cannot reach; where, for instance, en-
ployers send work across state lines
for children to do, or employ children
who for seasonal industries migrate
from state to state.
It makes it possible for high stand
ard industries and states with good
child labor laws to protect their chill
dren without the disadvantage of UNI
fair competition from low standard in
dustries and backward states.
But the amendment does not itself
prohibit anything, and is not in itself
regulatory measure.
Being a constitutional amendment,
it is broad and general in its terms, as
constitutional amendment should be.
It exempts no occupations-such as
agriculture and domestic service (of
which points the opposition seeks to
make much)-because the place to
make exemptions is in the subsequent
child labor law, not in the enabling
act.
It prescribes no particular kind of
law for congress to enact, except that
lit fixes an upper age limit beyond
which congress shall have no author
ity.
It does not prohibit the labor of
children up to 19 years of age, nor
does it contemplate federal law con-
tanning a general prohibition up to IL
years of age.
1t does make possible, however, fed
eral laws similar to many existing
state laws, regulating employment of
boys and girls of 16 and II, as well
as the younger ones, in hazardous oc-
equations and at night work and for
overlong hours.
1t gives congress no power the
states do not now have.
It takes away no power the states
have to raise their child labor stand
ards.

LABOR LAW ANNULLED;
SEVEN-DAY WEEK STANDS

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. County
District Judge Dickinson has declar-
ed the one-day-rest-in-seven law I'M
constitutional.
The act was passed by the last state
legislature in an effort to check the
sweating of defenseless workers.
There was no attempt to close down
any seven-day plant, and the only re-
quirement was that employees should
not be compelled to labor seven days
a week.
The Minneapolis Gas Light COM
pany raised the point that the act
was unconstitutional and Judge Dick
inson ruled accordingly.

The copperToed Shoe

Those of us who scuffed our way to
school 80 years or so ago will remem-
Der the copper-toed shoes with metal
heel plates and brass eyelets. How
they lasted!
Copper-toed shoes for children are
being made again, and are being sold
in some parts of the country; espe-
cially in the smaller towns and rural
communities. The origin Of the COP
per-toed shoe Is as follows:
George A. Mitchell was a poor farm
err residing in the village OF Turner,
Me-, go years ago. His children kicked
the toes out of their shoes faster than
he could afford to buy new ones. It
occurred to him to cut out pieces from
a sheet of copper that happened to be
handy and fasten them over the toes.
Thus fortified, one pair Of shoes, he
found, would last three times the Or
binary length of time. He patented
the idea, making his claim cover shoe
tips of silver or other metals, and 1t
brought him more money than life
time of farm work could have yielded.
And, speaking of footgear and copper,
here's a new one, originated in Phila-
delphia:
Stately sanctuaries, the lkenesses
of Divinities, famous buildings and
the human voice have been preserved
to posterity in copper. Now come
baby's shoes. gave the haby's first
pair Of shoes to printer friend, and
he had them electroplated for me.
Covered with this copper platin, they
can be kept as memento Of the
time when the youngster was just a
toddler, knee high to a grasshopper."
There's an idea: Give baby's shoes
to the printer and have them electro
plated!

creek there was only that sound
again - the tearing of the grazing
horses and their gusty snorting now
and then through their nostrils.
Suddenly Jack was arrested by a
sight a little way further along the
meadow. They had both noticed
there a spread ground sheet and a
roll of blankets where Blunt had evil

packing he had lurched along the
creek-side back to that place and what
John stood staring at was Blunt, head
back, draining a large black bottle.
He took the last drop and then with
a wild gesture flung the bottle from
him. 1t spun in an arc, glinted in the
light, was shattered against a mid
creek boulder Walt, who had no
ticed the end Of the incident grunted
and Remarked:
well, that will lay him out finally,
I expect"
Having voiced that opinion he
seemed to dismiss Bunt from his
thoughts.
Better perhaps" said he, mot
leave these two stiffs back there for
the coyotes 1t would look better for
us, if anything transpires, to be able
to say-and prove-that we had given
them," he paused and then in a dry
voice ended: christian burial" He
stood lost in thought a moment, fing-
ering his chin. "Bunt was to bring
pick and shovel I wonder where
they are?"
He wandered over to where the
pack-saddles of Bunt's string were
stacked beside pile Of his truck
under a waterproof sheet, raised the
edge of the latter and drew forth a
shovel, which he shouldered.
WELL" he said. He's been sys
tematic enough. Everything neat and
a credit to a camp-maker. You stay
around here till he flops out uncon
scious, just in case he gets up to any
pranks first"

EYES THAT GROSS
PUBLIC HEALTH LEAGUE
OF WASHINGTON

If more people understood what
happens to their eyes when they
''cross' they would regard the matter
more seriously, forait usually means
eventful loss of function of the
squirting eye, and should be regarded
as being more than a matter of per-
sonal appearance.
At first the individual will see
double but this annoyance in time
disappears and he is then unaware
that he is using but one eye. The
squirting eye then gradually loses its
sense Of sight from lack Of use and
becomes practically useless, as is the
usual fate of unused organs. For in
stance, fishes living in pools in dark
caves gradually lose their eyes en-
tirely. And humans retain vestiges
Of unused organs, shrunken and prac-
tically useless The muscles at
tached to the front and back of the
ear in the lower animals exist in hui
mans but are so shrunken that but
few can move their ears at all. And
the sense Of smell is more keen in
animals and savages who use and
need it.
While someone will tell you that he
has been cross eyed for years and can
see with either eye, 1t is true that very
few retain good, or even fair, sight
for many years after the eyes quit
worbipo touofhor
Sometimes a restoration Of function
of the squirting eye can be accom-
plished by means Of glasses, very
carefully prescribed. Or it may be
necessary to submit to an operation
on one or more Of the eye muscles in
order to straighten the eyes. These
operations are very successful and en-
tail little danger.
In most cases, baby becomes cross
eyed between three and four years
of age, and can usually be cured If
treated during the next few years. If
left untreated for long, they may
never recover perfectly. AS in any
other case, the sooner treatment is
given, the better chance there is for
a cure.
Educational institutions which the
Secretary of Labor recognizes and ap-
proves as Offering advanced academ-

one year. 1t is understood that the
time may be extended II the student
status is maintained. Students Of this
type remain in the country under a
form Of parole to the institutions
which they attend, or to an accredited
agent of their own government. 1t Is
required of such institutions and
agents of foreign governments that
they notify the Bureau Of immigration
whenever a person admitted to the
country under the special rule ceases
to be a student at the institution to
which he or she is accredited. Last
year there were 1914 students Of this
character registered at American In.

a concrete post deserves spe-
