BOY BOOTBLACKS
Still Ply Trade on City
Streets

Washington, ID. C. Ct. L. N. So
Shoe-shining parlors and indoor stands
have not yet driven the boy bootblack
from the city streets In all but one
of seven cities in which the Children's
Bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Labor made survey of all
kinds of juvenile street workers, some
boys reported that they were boot
blacks. Although some cities had onlv
few, Newark had 387 and Wilkes
Barre rs.
"Bootblacking by children, like ped
ding, should be prohibited by street
trades regulations" the bureau saws.
in reporting the results of the survey.
THE work has many of the disadvan-
tages of newspaper selling without
such advantages in the way of train
ing as selling papers may have"
In Newark 43 per cent and in
Wilkes Barre AZ per cent of the boys
were under II years of age. In each
of the cities the bootblack was more
retarded in school than any other
group of street workers and the pro-
portion of bootblacks with Juvenile
court records was almost twice that
for newspaper sellers in Wilkes-Barre,
the only city for which this informa-
ton was obtained.
The bureaus survey indicated that
certain legal provisions are essential
to even moderately successful control
of the street trades problem. The first
of these, the report says, is a specific
law or regulation applying to the
street worker School authorities and
labor officials have found that most
street work can not be regulated by a
general child labor law, the word "em-
ploy' in the latter type of law being
almost invariably construed to mean
the purchasing of the services of one
person by another, technicality
which deprives the "little street mer-
chant" of the protection afforded 9TH
er working children.
Satisfactory regulations included
badgesystem; the placing of response
bility for enforcement definitely upon
a single official; and the control of the
issuance of badges and of street in
spections by the same agency.

THE DREAM-BEARER

By MARY CAROLYN DAVIES
Where weary folk toll, black with
And hear but whistles scream,
| went, all fresh from dawn and dew,
To carry them dream.
| went to bitter lanes and dark,
Who once had known the sky,
To carry them dream-and found
They had more dreams than I.
Some minds are like concrete-thor-
oughly mixed and permanently set.

on the eight-hour plan in order that
they might be able to identify the
work of the ten-hour mills"

Sunshine baths may be taken in
sunshine clothes" in the near flu
turc, following discovery by Prof.
A. NJ. Lowe of England. He has
found that by simple and inexpen-
sive treatment some types of cloth
can be made permeable to the ultra
violet ray, which means that the value
of the natural ultraviolet ray in the
ordinary sunlight and daylight can be
received by the body, and that wear
ers may enjoy their sunshine baths
while pursuing outdoor sports or
work. The professor recently report
ed his discovery to the New Health
society, under whose auspices his
committee has been working.

TO MEET people
Coming Tour viii Differ From
Others

Albany. N. Y. Oct. I UP)-
Gov. Alfred E. Smiths next two
campaign trips will be more brown
derby" affairs than his western
trips.
He can wear only one derby at a
time. but he will appear in it more
often. The democratic candidate
is arranging his schedule SO that
he will have more time to mix with
the people on his forthcoming tour
through the border states and the
middle west. Speeches will not be
so close together.
Smith will leave here next Sun
day night or Monday for New York
and there will board the campaign
train. which is now In New York
for overhauling. He probably will
strike directly south. with a speech
first in North Carolina or Tennessee,
most likely the latter. regarded as
doubtful" state. He may speak
at Chattanooga.
He is expected to 30 to Kentucky
for speech. probably in Louis
vile. then to Senalia. Mo-. and north
to Chicago and Cleveland. The
program has not been worked out
definitely 1t will be announced
within a day or two. The last week
Of the campaign will be in the east.
Smith will rest here at the
mansion until he leaves for New
York but will strike at his repub-
lican opponents from his retreat
when the occasion offers. as he did
when he criticized Herbert Hoover's
farm relief plan yesterday.
He said Hoover had no plan in
commenting upon the endorsement
of the republican candidate and his
farm relief program by B. F.
Yoakum, a democrat and formerly
interested in western railroads.
Yoakum, now president of the En-
pire Bond and Mortgage Corpora
ton Of New York city. evolved a
farm relief plan that was presented
to congress.
Hoover. Smith said, says the tariff
is the foundation of farm relief,
adding every student OF the sub
ject and every farm leader takes a
directly opposite view. The tariff,
he argued. does not operate where
there is an exportable surplus.
The only cure that Mr. Hoover
ever gave was to reduce the acreage.
But the department Of, agriculture
says that cannot be done, that the
wheat production is beyond human
control"
Shortly after Smith had criti-
cized the Hoover program, he was
attacked in turn by State Senator
John Knight, republican, president
pro tenn. OF the senate. who said
Smith as governor had shown little
sympathy for the farmer In this
state and had never offered any
beneficial measure to aid them.
Knight issued lengthy statement
denouncing as false" various claims
made by the democratic candidate
in his Rochester speech for pro
gressive" reforms in New York.

their twenty-third wedding ami
versary-their last one In the White
House.

Mrs Coolidge left the bedside of
her i'll mother in Northampton.
Mass. Tuesday to continue her
practice of twenty three years stand
ing of being in her own home every
fourth Of October. The absence OF
their son John was the only change
which Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge were
forced to submit to in their yearly
observance of the date.
They both awaited with eager
ness, however, a message from John
from New Haven. Conn.,, where he
is now working. They also expected
to receive this afternoon greetings
from their more intimate friends.
Otherwise it was understood TINT
they preferred to enjoy the occasion
undisturbed.
Mr.. Coolidge had made arrange
ments to be at his desk as usual
this morning, but he had promised
Mrs. Coolidge that he would aban-
don work earlier than usual this aft
ernoon in honor of this special day.
