COMMENT ON CHILD LABOR
LAWS
mentality!


The LEGISLATURE Of Georgia recent
ly passed law forbidding the en-
ployment of any child under four
teen years in a manufacturing estab-
lishment. This may call to mind the
charge, that was made by the pro-
moters of the Federal amendment to
the effect, that consequent on the
defeat Of that amendment we might
expect the southern States to dis
regard the rights of children and
relax any efforts they previously had
made to restrain greed from exploiting
the labor Of children. Now Georgia
passes a sensible law, which is more
than may be said for the proposed
Federal amendment.
President Tabor of the National
Grange in his recent address said:
1.-THE charge has been made that the
farmer did not understand the
amendment. The truth is that he
understood it too well, but the
trainers of the amendment ana some
Of It's supporters have not under
stood our attitude toward child de-
velopment and child life. 1t is al
ways serious to create any new
Federal bureaus because Of the
burden on taxpayers, but It is es-
pecially serious to give into the
hands of the law-making branch OF
government, the right to interfere
with the homelife under any condi-
tions, for we cannot safely substi-
tute government agencies for home
control"

THE RED CROSS

This country should never be with
out a competent organization to act
for it in emergency as an agency for
relief to the suffering and unfortun-
ate. The Red Cross Is such an or
ganization, its record Of achievement
is a splendid one and support is its
due.
Countrywide work Is by no means
all that 1t does. It has been able in
many communities to render In
valuable assistance to the disabled
veterans in collecting and presenting
their evidence and in other ways.
As an agency for exemplifying SER
vice its record warrants endeavor to
maintain it unimpaired and capable
of doing that for which the country
instinctively looks to it.

THE SUBMARINE

OF the use Of poison gas in time of
war 1t may truthfully be said. that
there IL no way by which in the ex-
tremity OF conflict a nation might
be prevented from using 1t, but this
may not be truthfully said respect
Ing the submarine. No nation may
equip itself with this arm without
the fact being known to the world.
Had France been Influenced by
principle rather than by expediency
and Joined this country, Japan and
England at the Limitation Confer
ence In 1921 some Roadway already
might have been made toward the
abolition Of the submarine. Is 1t not
possible in the spirit Of the Locarno
Conference that this now may be
undertaken?
1t Is bad enough to draft our boys
for war without intensifying those
horrors. In the light Of recent ca
1anitieS to submarines-this coun-
try had one few days ago and now
there IL lying on the floor Of the
North Sea an English submarine
with its full complement Of men
tortured to death In that horrible
manner-the thought Of drafting men
70 service under such conditions is
repungnant.
Neither has experience shown that
the submarine is a decisive arm in
time Of war. The Germans placed
great faith In 1t. One recalls the
5ubliation when one Of these under
water craft made its way past the
British blockade into an American
port That was q spectacular per-
torrance but 1t Melted the Germans
no great advantage. These craft
were to prevent American soldiers
from landing in France but the
Americans crossed the waters. land
ed and won the war. If England,
France. Italy and Japan would Join
with America in abolishing the sub
mrine the next war would have to
continue over q considerable period
before submarines could be built and
put to use were a nation disposed
: to do SO.

T. ~ David Cory.

Soothing Syrup's wonderful thing.
For a tummy ache or skeeter sting.
1t makes one feel so comfy and warm,
Just like the sunshine after storm.
And that's just what happened to
Mr.. Wicked Wolf as soon as he had
swallowed DR.. Quack's wonderful
medicine, You remember what might
have happened as we ended last
nights story, or what probably would
have come to pass had not the IA
nous duck doctor cured Mr.. Wicked
VOLTS hunger pains in the nick of
time. I'll let you guess, for I'd hate
to put the dreadful consequences
into words.
"Ah. / feel better-almost WELL"
smiled the old wolf, rubbing his hairy
vest with his hairy front paw. why.
I feel perfectly well. Not the least
twinge of hunger pain.
Glad 1 could be of service to you"
replied DIR. Quack, the famous duck
doctor, locking his little black medi-
cine case. "Sorry that / must hurry
on. Uncle Lucky has sprained his
pinkie toe, the one that has the rheu-
matiz, you know. Goodbye" and
turning to Peter Pig, he asked him
to drive on.
Dear me, at first poor Peter Pig
scarcely heard the brave duck doctor.
Peter was so frightened he had all
but lost his sense of hearing. Indeed.
he had lost control Of his tongue. for
without a word he clapped the reins
on the back of Donkey Longears, who
at once started off towards the dear
Old Bramble Patch.
Goodbye" again quacked the brave
duck doctor. waving a wing to Mr..
Wicked Wolf, who, wonderful to re-
late, stood quietly on the Old Cow
Path, his face wreathed In smiles
and his tummy soothed with DIR.
.Quacks magic syrup. With bow,
the old wolf watched the donkey cart
rumble down the hill. Then, his face
still a-smiling, he trotted off to his
little rocky den in the Shady Forest.
"Whew!" at last exclaimed Peter
Pig, having found his breath and the
use of his tongue. II never was so
frightened in all my life. Thought my
last minute had come, sure as the
bills on the first of the month"
"Pretty close shave" agreed DIR.

Editors Letter Box
One Thing in Life
i Always Want to Remember

There is only one road on which
people may travel back to their
childhood-that is the road called
Memories. Many travel that road.
but always alone, as the experiences
of ones youth are many and varied
and the road always ends at a diff
ferent place.
Perhaps for some it may end at a
mansion with all that this word i'm
plies, but for me the road always
leads to a little old New England
homestead In the heart Of Maine.
Seated before the fireside in this
humble dwelling are two people. One
is woman whose hair nature has
long since turned to silver; the other
is a little child. For the one. life's
! journey is about to end; for the
other, it is only just beginning.
The woman loves the child and
they are great companions. Often
during the cold winter evenings-and
the winters in Maine are very Sc
vere--they sit by the fireside and
read, or the woman tells stories. Us
ually, they are stories of sthe Bible,
to which the child eagerly listens.
After the stories are finished and it
is time for the child to go to bed.
they kneel together and say their
prayers. Never in these prayers do
they forget to express their thank
fuiness for having each other.
Time weaves the Winter into the
season of Spring and all nature seems
to send forth a challenge to the
world. 1t is then. during the eve
nings, that they often wander out be-
meath the stars and the woman tells
the child that up there beyond the
stars live thespeople about whom she
tells such beautiful stories. Some
times the good old moon looks down
upon this quiet little scene of peace
and love and seems to smile her
benediction.
The woman was my Grandmother.
No truer woman, no nobler character
ever lived. She lived long and suf-
feied much but she never lost faith
IN the Master. Perhaps her faith
alone made it possible for her to
bear so much.
The road of Memories Is Travelled
by choice. but there is another road
which we all must travel-that Is the
road called Life. If, when / come to
the end of this road, I have achieved
and accomplished even one noble
thing, shall owe 1t all to the wom-
an, who left me as an heritage her
high ideals and whom I want to re-
members always-throughout eter-
nifty. Armelda Lolita Richards,
Palermo, Maine.
