WELLER'S RECORD

Senator o. E. Weller during his 5
years in the United States Senate
has been absent over one-half the
time missing 1495 out Of 2713 roll
calls. When the Child Labor Amend
ment came up in the Senate for &C.
ton there were 8 votes taken on it
and the amendments thereto. The
Child Labor Amendment, as will be
recalled gave Congress the power to
prohibit all persons, white or black,
from working until after they were
Is years of age.
AS usual Senator Weller lived up
to his reputation as "the absentee
Senator" by being absent on all these
votes. He was absent 100 per cent OF
the time. Following are the changes
upon which votes were taken where
Maryland's interests were unprotect-
ed because Senator Weller was alb
sent and not voting:

Finally, on the passage Of the
Child Labor Amendment, which re-
quired a two-thirds vote; Senator
Weller did not vote.
The Senate by a special rule, a.
dopted May 81, 1924, set apart June
2 1924 for voting on the Child Labor
Amendment and all proposed amend
ments thereto, thus giving Senator
Weller at least six days notice.
Colonel Willard E. Tydings, the
democratic candidate for the United
States Senate, who is opposing Wei
Ter, not only voted against the amend
,nent on every vote but also made a
speech and led the fight against it.
Col. Tydings said while he favored
protection of children from labor by
State law for all the AZ states with
their different climates and condi-
lions was ill advisable. That, furth-
er, the age limit of Is years would
prevent farmer having his 16 and
II years old sons milking cows OF
bringing in some wood; that large
groups of colored people of 16 and
liz years would be without schools and
mot allowed to work at all.
Weller was absent neglecting his
States interests"

HEALTH DEPARTMENT
WARNS AGAINST FLY

Have you noticed how persistent
and insistent each fly has been that
has buzzed into your house or your
office or into the school room, since
the cooler days have come? Because
the ounce of prevention in this par
ticular case will yield such positive
results, the advice Of DR.. John S. Full
ton, Director Of the State Department
of Health is, to be equally persistent
in getting rid of the left over flies.
"The best thing to do" he says, I'll

where around the place, will swarm

ILEANA SN|TTEN
BY D. c. ADON|S

Princess Ileana, OF Run1ania, to
day became the princess OF an old
romantic fairy tale, in modern set,
ting, with a stalwart, handsome
Washington youth as her Prince
Charming.
They met in the ballroom, in an
old world setting of military uni.
forms, mellow lights and bright
colors. They danced many dances
and enjoyed coy, intimate chats
in sheltered hooks during which
princess and the youth that he
was not of royal blood.
And finally there was q prone
made in the moonlight overlooking
the Hudson.
The story began on the second
day after the arrival OF the princess
with her mother, the Queen of
Rumania. and her brother. Prince
Nicholas. One OF the first official
affairs was q dance at West Point.
Brig. Gen. NJ. B. Stewart, super.

1t did not. take the princess long
to make her choice and the first TO
realize it was Cadet Captain Douglas,
who danced with her once or twice
Ahd then tactfully retired to the
ba background
The second meeting was on Oeto-
Der Is when Ileana and Queen
Marie reviewed the West Point
cadets. Then came a 10,OO0.nntle
cross-country tour, with new sights
and new faces. But the princess
did not forget.
Two days before sailing for home
she asked that arrangements be
made for Glasgow to come to New
York TO have luncheon with her.
General Stewart. however, refused
to grant him leave. And so Ileana
went to West Point.
The meeting took place in the
Thayer Hotel at. West Point. There
were others present, to satisfy the
conventions. among them Cadet
Captain Douglas. The next day the
princess sailed for home.
