ll,O0O ATTENDANCE
 AT DAY NURSERY
Greatest Year in Its History,
 Mrs. O'Brien Reports

The busiest and most successful year in the history of the Day Nursury Is shown in the annual re- port of the superintendent, Mrs. Frank j, O'Brien, both attendance and gifts exceeding those of preiyous years. The growth of the organiza- ton is indicated by the following figures showing the aggregate at tendance; 1918 -four months), D. 27O; 1919, 75S0: 1920, 10000; 1921, 4,3S9; 1922, 72SS: 1928, 1O,- lo6; 1924 1000. The report is us follows:
 Eleven thousand children of all races and creeds have been taken care of at the New Britain Day Nursery during the eleven months of 1924 the building being closed during the month of July for re- pairs and renovations, such as hav- ing the rooms painted, a new stair built in the play yard, two more rest rooms added on, fire extin- guishers installed, and the tables and benches all mended. Some play ground equipment which has been donated to the organization has brought many joys and thrills to the nursery klddies, such being a slide from the RQtarians, a sand box and cover bull by William w. T. Squire and his group of junior achievement boys. the lumber be- ing the gift of George P. Spear and the sand the gift of Howard Sher- man.
 During the year we have had oc- casion to take one of the children to the New Britain General hospi- tai for an X-ray. We are indebted to Dr. A. S. Grant for this service. Dr. Richard Pullen of the health department has lent his support and cooperation during the year in con- nection with health cases. Dr. Jos eph Potts, pr. l.. R. Weir, Dr. John Kelly, Dr. George Dunn, and Dr. George Flanagan also gave their time and advice in connection with medical and health work at the Day Nursery. Harvey S5 Lewis, op- ticians, have been most generous to the children of widowed workers in providing glasses.
 Mrs. Warmers junior achieve ment club known as the See More club made 30 aprons and 37 dolls for the children. St. Marks Ladies' Sewing society made bibs, aprons and bed covers. The South Congre- sgational church Ladies' Sewing so- ciety made aprons. Laurel Court, Order of Amaranth, made curtains. Landers, Frary X Clark repaired the washing machine and scales.
 I've are indebted to the New Britain Herald in sending out ap- peals at Thanksgiving and Christ mas which always brought re- sponse double-fold from our friends.
 An emergency fund has been created through the year for chil- dren of widowed mothers and is do- ing splendid wouk in securing shoes, eye glasses, removal of tonsils, and medical aid. Thanksgiving and Christmas are always joyous oCca- sions and these two festivities were particularly happy ones, all the widows receiving Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners from the Every mans Bible class, Rotarlans and Kiwanians.

Absence of Illness

'Thc greatest emphasis this year, as in past years, has been on health work. It is gratifying 10 be able to record that there has been almost an entire absence of illness among ! the Nursery children, fact which may be attributed in large measure 10 the wholesome diet, the insistence on stated hours for rest and recrea- tion. Throughout the year we have worked closely with the other social agencies of the city and have had the very best cooperation from all Of them: Health department, charity department, junior achievement, at tendance department, welfare asso- citation, Boys club, fresh air camp, tuberculosis clinic. Dental hygiene is taught and the children taken to the clinic for filings. attractions, and so on. Children of Kindergarten age are sent to classes from the Nursery.
 Families after two or three months stay at the Nursery are fully reestablished and will need very little if any aid in the future. Six mothers worked to help with the winters supply of coal and three to meet medical bills. Looking back over the years work we can honestly claim that the New Brit ain Day Nursery has been of great help and service in the community and many families as well as chi- dren have received help from ii.

that. the world would end some time
Friday, with the return to earth of
Christ at Hollywood, Will result in
no additional commissions to Los An

Firm in their trust in the prediction
of Mrs. Rowen, the followers await

There is no need for fear or
anguish over the end of the world"
asserted DR.. B. e. Fullmer, head Of
the fchurch here, as he pointed out
scriptural passages which he de-
clarrd confirm Mrs. Rowens prophecy.
Dr., Fullmer has not sold his home
for, asks, why should he sell prop

be able to deliver. Nor has he coun-
seled others to sell, but added that
1t might be right to sell and use the
money to further the kingdom in the

talked of gathering together, but

CHILD LABOR FIGHT
WILL Be CONTINUED
Senator Walsh Criticizes
Way Measure Was
Opposed.

The question of the child labor
amendment. to the Constitution, now
defeated by vote OF 13 States, was
debated yesterday at luncheon
meeting. of the women's Democratic
Club, $50 Connecticut avenue.
Senator Walsh of Montana declared
the defeat to be only. a temporary
one, announcing the fight was to be
taken up and carried on at once for
the M easure.
Airdell Mears Of North Carolina
presented the opposition to the
amendment, basing his argument
mostly on the question Of States
rights and the right Of parents to
control their children.
Walsh Criticizes Opponents.
Senator Walsh criticized the out
rageous campaign Of misrepresenta-
tion" carried 'on by opponents to the
amendment, and pointed out that it
did not prohibit children from work
ing nor interfere with the rights of
the parents to control of their chill
dren.
Every State but one in the Union"
said the Senator, has legislation
regulating child labor. The single
exception is a Western State that has
no need of such laws. Yet even where
there are fair laws they are often not
enforced, and in many States there is
crying need for protection of chill
dren. Eleven States allow children
under 16 wears to work from eight to
nine hours a day. The census of 1920
showed that there were 10000 chill
dren from 10 to Is years old working
at gainful occupations, and of these
17Ik per cent were workers in fac
tories.
Contrary to the accepted idea,
said Senator Walsh, "'the South Is not
the greatest employer Of child labor.
In New Bedford, Mass, IS per cent of
the children are workers, mostly in
the mills. This is common thing in
factory towns, the percentage run
ming from IL to lS per cent.

PEKING, February 5.-China's uni
hcatfon conference, by which 1t was
hoped that Internal factional strife in
the empire would end. today was
headed toward the babel of misunder-
standing, before it had formally or
ganized.
The basis of misunderstanding was
revealed when the adherents of DR..
Sun Vat Sen, head OF the government
of South China, issued a manifesto
In the name of the Kuomingtang or
peoples party, declining to partici-
pate in the conference because 1t
had not taken DR.. Suns plan for Ia
peoples conference" as a basis for
the reorganization of the Chinese gov
srnment.
DIR. Sun, who has been critically Ill
at the hospital here since he was OPP
Grated upon about 10 days ago, pro-
posed, according to his adherents,
that the peoples conference" should
he held after preliminary meeting
had been held by Chinese leaders
gathered in PekinG.
Plan Receives support.
This plan. the manifesto says. had
received assurances of support
throughout the country. whereas the
same sources have expressed a lack
of faith in the conference which was
called, by the provisional government
and attempted an organization meet
ing on last Sunday. No meetings
have been held since.
The manifesto recalled that DR.. Sun
had telegraphed acceptance of the
invitation he received to the confer
snce on condition that his plan, the
peoples plan, of reorganization be
adopted. This condition, although
accepted by the provisional govern
ment at that time; has not been car
ried out, the manifesto recites.
While DR.. Suns South China dele

cation plan of the provisional Chinese
government, recently set up at Pc

render by WEAF in the face of an
overwhelming bombardment kept
Congress from acting or attempting

The attempt TO discipline Roxie for
being too facetious on the air is
really an important step in the devel-
opment Of broadcasting none the less.
1t is a development in the line of
certain stations specializing in GER
tain programs and in a certain man
ner of presenting them. Certain of

cTothe their studios with the atmos-
phere of Carnegie Hall. They would
invade the Metropolitan Opera House

cluded "RoXie" was entirely too breezy
for such an atmosphere. He would
have to tone down or walk out But
the highbrows reckoned without their
invisible hosts. The fans protest ed

see symphony stations and jazz sta

Virtually all OF the Middle Western

mild little person as 'Roxie."
Today the untrammeled spirit of the
