Da7CdHng in
Youth Fatal

Ely MRS. WAITER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Mary Garden. on her return to
America. boaSted that she weighs
only 116, and that she desires to
associate entirely with young peo-
pie.
Neither statement is edifying The
fact that Miss Garden has no use
for the companionShip Of persons
of her own age merely demonstrates
that her judgment is not as good
as her singing. The ambition to
remain young is commendable, but
surely the cultivation Of callow
youth to the exclusion of middle age
is not exactly the way to go about
it, That way leads to chldishneSS.
A perpetually youthful spirit is
gained in two ways; BY simplicity
and a keen interest III life The
woman who enjoys each day and
finds delight in the small things
that surround her is the woman
who always is young at heart, no
matter how many wrinkles she may
have.
Youth is not merely a goodly out
side It embodies a dearth Of eX-
perience, an innocence of life, an
expectancy of the future Without
these qualities, it would not be
youth. And it can not. therefore,
be retained by one who has lived
through many eventful years and
who has tasted the thrills either Of
an exciting or a quiet existence.
To ape the young after one has
become middle-aged is to insult the
gods of wisdom. 1t is to make OF
oneself a mime, a mere clown tricked
out in gaudy colors yet looking out
upon the world with the knowing
/ eyes of age.
Miss Garden may be delighted
with her idea. Let us hope it may
work for her. But for the average
woman it never. will do. To be
surrounded always by these who are
Younger than ourselves would be a
most painful ordeal. The over-ripe
pear only looks the more yellow by
contrast with the green ones.
And pray, what is life if it IS not
development, a growing of the
body and the mind and the spirit?
| One does not stand still. One moves
ever forward.
Physically, mentally spiritually,
life is a progress toward something
beyond, something finer, more beau
tiful and more satisfying than we
have left behind Youth is but q
phase of our existence. She who
dawdles there too long misses many
other lovely things.

And 1 believe that with just a
little practice and the knowledge of
just what paints to buy and how
to apply them, any little lady who
is a all clever with her fingers

not better, than the ones she can
have colored by some one else!

u: S. IS HELD ABOVE
CHILD LABOR LAW
Attorney General Mitchell
Says Act Is Not AppIica-
BILE to Government.

The new child labor law of the Dis
trict of Columbia sis not applicable to
minors employed in the Government
Printing Office" Attorney General
Mitchell has decided.
In an opinion for President Hoover,
the Attorney General implied that the
law did not apply to any establishment
of the Federal Government.
Reviewing the statute the Attorney
General states that, in his opinion, pri-
marily the child labor law was a local
regulation reported to Congress as a
companion measure to the compulsory
school attendance law. An opinion of a
former Attorney General is cited to
show that an act of Congress passed
in 1914 regulating the hours of en-
ployment of females in the District of
Columbia makes no reference to the
Government of the United States and
therefore is not applicable to the en-
ployment of female help by the Gov
eminent"
Concluding the opinion, the Attorney
General says: THE same considerations
apply here, and it may be remarked
that If the statute were held applicable
it would apparently accomplish nothing
of substance. The hours of labor re-
quired, by existing regulations, of
minors in the Government Printing
Office are no more arduous than those
which the statute would permit
THE Civil Service Commission ex-
amineS and certifieS minors messengers
and apprentices) appointed in the Gov
eminent Printing Office, and. by regu-
lations, which have the force of law,
prescribes minimum requirements with
respect to age, education, and physical
condition equally as high as those of the
statute. Many of the appointees come
from distant States.
1T could not reasonably be intended
that, upon arrival here, they shall be
re-examined by the department of
school attendance, sitting thus in re-
view upon the determination of the
Civil Service Commission. Altogether
the statute seems peculiarly inappro-
pirate of application to the Federal
civil service. My opinion, therefore, is
that the act Of May 20, 1928, is not
applicable to minors employed in the
Government Printing Office"
