Questioned regarding the lifting OF
the press censorship, Admiral Magaz
said the directorate was not con-
sidering abolishing the censorship, be-
cause of the continued dissemination

Berlin, March s.-Of the 493 members of the new German Reich stag. 33 are women. This is 6.s per- cent of the total, or a little more than in the previous short-lived parliament, where the percentage was 5.7. The Socialists furnish the largest contingent. for of their dele gation 13 percent are women.
 Perhaps the most interesting woman is Johanna Reitze, who was first servant girl, then a printers assistant, still later Socialist party secretary, and now parliamentarian. Another interesting character IS Frau Ansorge. who started out as textile worker when she was 13, then became successively coffee picker, shipping clerk, and news stand saleswoman.
 Only three of the women parlia- mentarans had the advantage of a full college course. They are Dr. Gertrude Baeumer, a member of the Democratic party who recently lectured in the United States; Dr. Marie Elisabeth Lueders, also a Democrat and identified with the International Women's League for Peace and Freedom, and Dr, Elsa Matz, member of the German Peo- ple's party.
 Elfriede Rynek was a seamstress before she went into politics. Minna Schilling and Marie Juohacz were both industrial workers in their younger days.
 School teachers furnish a rather formidable delegations: Frau Pfuelf, Hedwig Dransfeld, Christine Teusch. Clara Mende, Elsa Matz, and Mar garethe Behm were formerly teach CTS. Elise Bartels and Lore Agnes describe themselves as plain house. wives.

VICAR ROCKS THE
 CRADLE OF BABY
Follows Custom Established < Almost 700 Years Ago

Mansfield, Eng, March 1S.-When the Rev. J. Lowndes, the bachelor vicar of Blidworth, near here, rock ed baby's cradle in his church on a recent Sunday 1t was not in an effort to stop the babes cry, but the carrying out of a custom which has been observed for nearly 700 years.
 From the thirteenth century 1t has been a rule that the most re- [ cently born baby in the parish should be taken to church on the Sunday nearest Candlemas and i dedicated to God. On Saturday saaight the child is baptized. next ( day it is again taken to the sapc- \ tuary and placed in a tiny cradle { inside the altar rails. The vicar linen dedicates the child to God and s;rocks the cradle.
 " The ceremony is intended to sym belize the Biblical story of the presentation of the Child Christ in the temple. The cradle in Blid- worth church was draped with linen and bedecked with a mass of flow CTS. At the head of the cradle were placed two lighted candles and two acolytes stood near with lighted tapers. In the olden days the par ishioners used to parade the village streets carrying the child, but that part of the ceremony is now omitted.

EIGHT FOR CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT
Defeat by Fourth Of States Makes
 PartisanS Determined

Washington, March 13.-Although more than quarter of the states have rejected the proposed child labor amendment to the constitu- tion, the fight apparently only is beginning.
 Proponents of the amendment re- fuse to concede its defeat, and have announced intensive campaigns during 1925 10 change the unfavor- able votes. The opponents of the amendment have announced they will fight even more determinedy to prevent it's ratification, and some constitutional lawyers say that whichever side wins the issue prob- ably will get before the courts, and if it ever becomes the law of the land 1t only will be after a hard fight and a long time.
 There is historical precedent for state legislature changing it's vote on a constitutional amendment. II happened to some of the constitu. tlonal amendments in the recon struction days after the Civil war but the child labor amendment pre- sents some features on which 1t is said a legal fight could be based.
 As every school boy knows, a con- stitutional amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the states, thirty-six. Therefore, rejec- tion by thirteen state legislatures, deadlock or action in one house and not in the other may serve to de- feat it. The constitution provides also that when three -fourths of the states have ratified a proposed amendment, 1t shall be proclaimed This is done by the state depart ment. But the constitution makes no provision for proclaiming the defeat of a proposed amendment and thereby closing the chapter

Bills now are pending in Congress to lave defeat as we'll as ratification proclaimed, but If enacted into law they probably would not affect the child labor amendment, but would apply to future proposals.
 The state department, in addition to being the department of foreign affairs of tho government, Is tho recording office where laws passed by congress are officially registered. It takes no notice of tho proposed laws which fall of enactment, And 1t has not been the practice for states to report when they rejected Q constitutional amendment. They only report when they accept one.
 But the question of how long a proposed amendment may pend, while state legislatures arc swayed one way and tho other upon 1t, pre- sents question which ultimately may come to the supreme court of the United States. The proponents of the child labor amendment ar- gue that states have changed be- fore and been recorded according to their latest decision.
 Congress, in submitting the pro- posed amendment to the states, did not fix any time limit within which they must act, as it did in the pro- hibition amendment, the eighteenth, In that case congress required &C., tion within six years. But in the case Of the child labor amendment there is no such limitation and the supporters of the change contend that the amendment can be made effective any time 36 states ratify it..
