For Childrens Rights.

Oma ha-TO the Editor or Ihe Onla-
ha Bee. Child labor does not mean
selling newspapers after school nor
working a few hours on holidays. 1t
means toiling long hours at machines
in factories. shaving in fields, exces-
sive tasks at low wages. It means also
no time for school, play or healthy
growth.
Every state now has full power to
make its own laws regarding child
labor. There are good laws and bad
ones. and five states with no restric-
tions at all. All children need profee
ton, but the children Of those five
states need II most OF all.
The 1920 census said that 900 s5S
children are working. But this counts
only those from 10 to is years old
Thousands OF children less than 10
years old are at work. Children less
than years old. working all day long
are discovered from time to time by
Investigators Of The national child
labor committee.
At the same time. while more than
900. 900 children are working. far
more than 00o. 900 men and women
are unemployed. Setting the children
free will be good for the children. hut
it will also give Jobs 10 men and wom.
en- who are now idle.
Even the people who live in states
which have good. laws against child
IN bor. and which enforce the laws
they have. use goods produced In all
the states. So all people in all the
states are using articles produced In
part by child labor.
All honor to the states which have
set a high standard in protecting their
children from child labor. 1t is time
now for the nation to act and to pro-
tect all the children. Yours for chill.

Find Skeleton
Woman in Woods

Limington, Me, Oct. 31.-The
skeleton of Miss Maria Mckinney,
S2-year-old resident of this town,
who disappeared five months ago,
was found this afternoon by two
bird hunters. The remains were in
a swamp hole, five miles from the
aged woman's home. where 1t is be-
lieved she dropped from exhaustion.
Hundreds of men combed the
woods within a 20-mile radius of the
McKenney residence Immediately af-
ter the woman disappeared. She
had last been seen placing a flag
on the grave of her great grand
father, James McKenney, hero of
the revolution.
Inasmuch as Miss McKenney knew
every yard of the woods in this Sec
ton, because of her habit of tramp
ing and fishing all over the country
side. it was at first feared that she
had met with an accident or foul
play, rather than being lost.
There was no indication today
that anything other than illness or
exhaustion caused her collapse.
