develop physically and mentally.
In New York City alone 10000
boys and girls enter industry each
year. Health hazards arise almost
Immediately. Up TO this point Of
their development, the State and
society have expended much money
upon their education and health.
Now, perhaps, all that has been
done may be sacrificed because es-
sential care and protection will not
be adequate to safeguard their
health.
Under New York State laws,
gainful employment for children
under Ia years of age is forbid
den. Those between IA and IL
years must show a certificate Of
physical fitness in entering in
dustry, together with r. show
ing q satisfactory school attend
ance. In that State, too. when a
child goes 10 work he must attend
continuation school, and there,
once again, he comes under the
watchful care of the Health De-
partment
In many another State such
laws have not been made for chill
dren entering industry. In some
States children are still made 20
work in the factory ten or eleven
hours a dav. In some Of the rural
districts children are employed on
the farm, in work after school
hours which takes them until ten
and eleven o'clock az night to fin
ish. In canneries, tenement house
work and street trades children
are made to work long hours.
In this machine age men and
children are often brutally used
up by the machine. ''Thc rich sap
Of human life Is being drained to
oil the wheels OF industry" We
4 hear from one who knows.
Children in industry are more
| prone to accidents than their
elders. An injured child sustains
a greater loss than the adult, as
he must carry his disability
through life
In 1923 there were sS4 chill
dren under sixteen years Of age
who were given industrial COM
pensation by the State OF New
York. The State, too, has q com
pensation law by which p child
illegally employed. when the fact
is determined. receives double
compensation from the State.
Not 80 the legally employed chill
dren. The child who Is injured
should receive a larger compensa-
ton, commensurate with his dis
ability through life.
The actual results upon child
health in industry may never Be
known. The high death rate from
tuberculosis among children Is to
20 years of age, the thousands OF
cases Of malnutrition, Of incipient
disease, Of infection in early years
which have serious consequences
in later lire, Of accidents-all these
take their toll among children Of
our so enlightened country today.
Every effort should be made
for adequate laws In all States and
Federal laws, as well, 20 maintain
child health and abolish child
labor. To give every child his
birthright Of health and happiness
Is not too much 70 ask Of cur
affluent nation. 10 must be done
for the good Of the child and Of
the country.

that we are loath to give them
up. But we must, for the edict
has gone forth, and the newest
hats are brimmed. It was to be
expected that the brimmed hats
would return, for they fit ad-
mirably with the new frocks,
which would be ruined as to eff
feet with a brimless hat The
feminine influence on frocks has
extended TO every branch Of the
mode, and naturally, hats as
the most important feature Of
the ensemble are among the first
to adhere to this charming fash
ion.
At the top of the Illustration
Is a hat of orange felt, pleated
down the side line with a self
band and bow trim. This fea-
lures the brim to advantage.
Next is a hat of pale green
silk weave straw bound with
black taffeta- The taffeta also
edges the band Of straw trim

looks almost like the fireman

days of long ago.
A more formal style is the hat
in the center. OF natural felt, Il
boasts a straw fiange and band
The edge is tucked back and
caught by a tiny bow of the felt
This is lovely for afternoon with
the soft clinging frocks of chif-
ION now so popular.
Dark blue bakou has been
chosen to mold the fascinating
hat below. The brim IS rolled
at a slant of the face, and il y
trimmed with wool in many
hues.
The cloche at bottom is of
ruby felt. The demure charm Of
this hat is enhanced by the mar
row band Of black and ruby
which ties in a tiny bow high at
center front.
Linen, either plain or printed.
Is much used for the hats shown
for resort wear. Either alone or
in combination with straw, It
makes a fitting frame for

accompanied by one Of the cot

stored to favor.
