BOB SHOWS HIS COLORS

We danced past their table. Just as
| had thought-thc girl with Curtiss
Wright was Anne Coddington. She
was animated and laughed gayly.
Again | lost the time OF the music.
90, let's stop, Ted ! pleaded I've
bunch that should go home any
VIVA. oYu see | shouldn't stay out late
as this is the first time I've been out
since
ooh, that's right, your ole man has
been sick, hasn't he? But I'll bet there
is a gang OF nurses to wait on him.
You're silly to let it cramp your style
any,"
That was Ted all over.
Anne turned around, faced us and
said in a voice that could be heard at
the nearby tables
"Why, Sallic, darling, I'm certainly
most surprised to see you here. Just
this afternoon | heard that your faith
er had turn for the worse and that
he would allow no one but you to
nurse him"
That's right Anne, absolutely" !
answered I'm a very undutiful daugh
ter and I'm just leaving"
I could have said that | was there
by doctors orders and incidentally
brought out the fact that she was Cur
tiss Wright's second choice that even
ing. But it would have been little and
catty. Too much so for my satisfac-
ton.
After polite argument with Bob
and Mari about my leaving, Bob f.
nally settled it by saying that he
would take me- We left, and for a
long time on the way home in the
car was quiet like Bob Chcnoweth
With him one can enjoy silence and
with it sympathetic understanding.
Like an etching of fire was the pic
ture in my brain of Anne and Curtiss
back there in the garden. She was
looking unusually pretty, too, that
evening. Anne certainly knew her
type and emphasized it to perfection.
Her frock, of ruffled pink tulle, edged
in silver, gave her the innocent look
of school girl. Especially with her
hair, still long, parted simpy in the
middle and dawn in a low coil to the
back of her neck in the simplest man
ner. She was Immediately guileless,
and that was the type of girl Curtiss
Wright wanted.

PROTESTS STRICT
ENFORCEMENT OF
CHILD LABOR LAW
Case for Cotton Growers
Argued Before County
Supervisors +

Employment of children h ip the
cotton fields of Imperial VALLEY
was the cause Of considerable dis
cussfon at the morning session Of
the board Of supervisors today
when Jack Graham, who has con-
siderable cotton planted in the
north end Of the valley, appeared
TO protest against the efforts Of
Harry Skinner, county school at
tendance officer, to stop employ
ment Of Mexican children in the
cotton fields.
According to Graham, the labor
shortage is SO acute. especially in
the, north end, that the cotton grow
ers stand to lose considerable.
money through being unable to get
their cotton harvested, unless they
employ Mexican laborers who re.
fuse to work unless the grower en-
ploys the entire family.
Carrying Out Law
Skinner informed the board that
he is only carrying out the state
law and the instructions Of the labor
/ commissioner, in seeing that child
! rem are not allowed to work when
they should be in school. He. told
the board that the Mexicans who
are. being employed in the cotton
fields are residents of the valley
and are not migratory labor brought
in from Mexico for the cotton sea
son, and then returning to their own
country.
IL cotton growers wish to import
Mexican labor under bond to re-
turn to their own country, Skinner
/ said it would matter little if the
children of such families worked as
it is not up to this state to see that
they are educated. However, where
rsaiilies are residents Of Imperial
Valley. he could not change the law
and allow the children to work.
Warns Officer
Graham announced to the board
that he proposes to employ Mexican
families and their children, too, in
order to get his cotton picked, and
heiis said to have served notice on
Skinner to keep off his land.
The school attendance officer in
formed a Press representative af-
ter the supervisors adjourned this
noon, that he proposes to uphold
the law as it is interpreted to him
and that there will be no working
of children i'll the cotton fields if he
can. prevent it, adding htat he will
invoke the aid of the state author
tiles to stop child labor if neces-
sary.
The board did not take any ac-
ton in the matter, indicating that
they consider it a matter for Skin
ner and the labor department to
settle.
