Dummy continued diamonds with

Mr.. Bachman trumped with the 10

Mr.. Bachnnan at this point saw
success ahead. The adverse dia-

this division or else the drop. of the
K, @ on the first three rounds Of
diamonds were necessary for his
plan to win.

Where the average player with
such strong trump holding would
have lost out would have been in

Mr.. Bachman won by analysing

Georgia Child Labor

Child Labor Law.

Federal child labor amendment that

received last year would mean that

advanced its standards by enacting a
rigid child labor law prohibiting the
employment of any child under four
teen years of age in a manufacturing
establishment, one Minnesota news.
paper points out.
AS Georgia was the only Southern
state that had not already enacted
such a law, North Carolina having
passed such a law in 1924, it is clear,
the Minnesota paper adds, that the
Southern States are following out the
program which was contemplated in
the original scheme of government.
Children Of the nation, the paper
says. are to be projected without
amending the constitution of the
United States by placing police power
where it doesn't belong.
