CHILD LABOR ACT
SUBSTITUTE URGED
Vandenberg Asks Subcommittee
to Approve His Proposed
Amendment.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of
Michigan wrote today to a Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee urging ap-
proval of his proposed child labor
amendment as means of dealing
with the commercial exploitation of
Children once and for all
The letter was addressed to Senator
M. M. Logan, Democrat, Of Kentucky,
chairman of the subcommittee APP
pointed Wednesday to consider VAN
denberg's proposal for a substitute to
the pending amendment now ratified
by 20 States. It must be ratified by
S6 States to become effective.
Vandenberg has proposed that the
word regulate" as applied to child
labor, be stricken from the old amend
ment, that it apply only to hired"
children, and that the age limit be
reduced from 18 to Is years
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana has said he hoped" the Su-
preme Court would reverse it's decision
holding Federal child-labor act in
valid.
Presiding at Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee hearings on new
child-labor legislation, Wheeler added,
however, that he did not believe the
court would do so, and therefore he
recommended enactment of a COM
bination" bill containing alternate
principles OF Federal regulation.

Farmer Pockets
AZ Gents of Dollar
Spent for Food
Government Experts Re.
port Share Has In
creased Since 1882.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A bigger share Of the average dol
lar spent for food is going to the
farmer, Government economists said
today, because prices of farm prod
ucts are rising.
They said At cents of every dollar
handed the grocer, butcher or baker
during the first three months of this
year found its way to the man who
produced the crops, live stock or
other farm products.
The farmers share of the food dol
lar was 80 cents in 1882, AZ cents in
1888 and A cents last year.
The 47-cent share the first part of
this year was about equal to the av-
erage from 1925 to 1929, the statis-
ticians said. but was below the 1913
1920 average of SIS cents.
The economists said the farmers
share OF the food dollar always in
creases as prices move up and always
decreases as prices 90 down.
The farmer is like the boy on the
end in a game of crack the whip"
they explained. Changes in his
prices are more violent than changes
at the other end"

BIDS
OPENING THURSDAY
Contracts for Four New
Submarines May Be
Awarded Also.

While navy yards are submitting
estimates to the Navy Department
Immediately on what 1t will cost them
to construct one of two new battle
ships, which the United States will
build shortly the officials here pre-
pared to open bids Thursday from
private shipbuilders for the other
man-of-war. On Thursday, likewise
bids for two OF the four new sub
marines to be constructed, will be
opened.
The argument over whether the
new battleships should be equipped
with IA or Is inch guns goes on In
naval circles, but President Roosevelt
and Secretary Swanson have indicated
that an early decision will be made.
AS the situation now stands, Japan
has not yet disclosed her attitude off,-
cially on which of these types she
prefers. This is considered vital fac
tor in the problem.
Onlcials said the four navy Yards
In position to construct one OF the
new battleships are New York, Phila-
delphia. Norfolk, Va, and Bremerton,
Wash. While no official announce
ment has yet been made, it is ex-
pected the award for this warship
will be made at the same time the
department announces the signing of
contract with private shipyard
for the construction of the other war
ship. Under the law. half the naval
craft must be built in Government
owned yards.
English Prefer 14-Inch Gun.
English naval of1lcials are repre-
sented here as preferring the l4-inch
gun, considering that is sufficiently
powerful to use in combat. The l6-
inch gun In the American NAVY is
nothing new. however. officials here
point out, as the battleships Maryland,
Colorado and West Virginia are
equipped with eight l6-inch guns. The
other battleships are furnished either
with 10 or - 14-inch guns
Bids for starting construction of
the new vessels could be awarded
without finally deciding on whether
they will carry II or Is inch guns,
oficlals said. The building of the
vessels could be fairly we'll alorp
before 1t would be imperative to fur
nsh the builders with the caliber Of
the great guns, which will, in all
likelihood, be constructed at the
Washington Navy Yard.
Signing of Contracts
The authorities at the NAVY De-
partment expect contracts will be
signed for the building OF the new
oattleships within month after the
bids are submitted Thursday. The
Bureau of Engineering, the Bureau
OF Construction and Repair, the Bill
reau OF Ordnance, the Bureau of
Aeronautics. the judge advocate GEN.
eral and other officials will look owe.
the detailed plans and figures before a
nnal award is made. Because OF
President Roosevelts close associa-
ton with the Navy, it is expected
that Secretary Swanson will con-
suit the Chief Executive before an
ohclal announcement OF the awards
Is made.
In addition to the two new battle.
sh1ps-the first the United stat.,
VIII build since the completion q,
the World War contracts-eieht dc-
stroyers and four submarines are IN
the current building program.

athletics Make Good Citizens
Of Maynard Boys, Says Doctor
Police Boys Club Idea
"Hits Nail on Head"
Expert Holds.

It's easy to teach boy to use l2-
ounce boxing gloves instead Of brass
knuckles, or to convince him there's
just as much excitement-and less
danger-in a relay race as in lodging
a policeman around the corner-if one
knows how.
This is the view Of DR.. John E. Lind,
noted psychiatrist, who believes Police
Chief Ernest w. Brown hit the nail
on the head when he started the Po-
lice Boys Club movement.
DR.. Lind. now senior medical oflicer
Of st. Eliabeth's Hospital once spent
five years conducting boys clinic
in connection with the Districts
Juvenile Court. He has found that
to night crime in the modern way
by prevention-boys must be taught
exercises. fun, courage, loyalty and
fair play.
Boys must band together" he said
yesterday. They must have their
gangs and their contests, fun and
excitement. If they can't have these
things in one way. they will in an
other. Give them a place to meet
and talk, play games, box, wrestle in
clean, healthful surroundings and
you've gone long way toward solving
the problem Of youth.
Criminals Were Less Privileged Boys.
Teach them to win without
Dragging and to lose without whining.
Teach them that there is nothing to
compare with the healthy glow that
comes after exercises and a shower.
Take a nursery full OF new born
babies. Which of them are going to
grow up sober, respectable citizens
and which Of them are going to end
their days in prison?
III you could take the life history
OF any criminal beginning with him
in prison. and run it backwards" said
DR.. Lind, you'd come to time when
he was just a somewhat wild young
man. You'd come to time when
he was sort Of bad boy in school.
Then further back he would be Just
q dirty-faced kid in rompers and
still earlier cut little fat baby
gurgling in his crib
Consider the less privileged lad,
whose family has tough time keep
ing roof over their heads, said DR..
Lind. There's no library, no home at
mosphere, and the boy escaped from
the crowded room to the streets and
back lots as soon as he can after
meals.
Change Their Heroes.
TITS the nature OF the boy to In
dulge in hero worship. The biggest,
toughest boy in the crowd is the idol
OF the smaller ones. It isn't long
before boy is anxious to show the
gang he is not sissy. So he starts
pilfering and drinking AS he gets
older he belongs to an older gang.
Their offenses against the law be-
come more serious. Eventually they
are arrested, go through the Juvenile
Court, then the reform school and
finally land in the penitentiary. BY
that time it is too late, as a rule, to
attempt much in the way OF charac-
ter building"
Or. Lind said the problem resolves
itself into giving these boys some
thing to do. something that should
appeal to their love Of fun and ad-
venture.
This can be done in organizations
like the boys clubs. he said. He called
attention to the current campaign Of
the Police Department to raise SIS, 900
to establish additional clubs and
maintain the four existing units, and
asked Washington to lend its support.

Travelling Longer and Farther
This Year,

A record breaking year Of touring
by Washington motorists is In the
making. according to the American
Automobile Association.
The motor club bases its prediction
on the number OF ''routings" handled
during the first five months of this
year, which show gain OF A per
cent over the same period for 1896.
OF the 80,000-odd persons for whom
"routings" already have been pre-
pared this year, more than 10 per cent
plan trips to the West Coast.
Generally, the club says, trips this
year are longer In miles and longer
in time. The increase In motor travel
is general throughout the country

danger-I wish it weren't so, Jane"
"Oh, Bill" said Jane. Don't think
of me-do just as if I were not
here" She threw her own arms
around his neck, and their lips met
again in passionate appeal.
'Then come, Jane. We must dash
through this pine before that fire
you hear roaring catches up to us"
us that awful roar from a fire,
Bill?"
1T is. It's our worst danger. Let's
go, Jane"
To cross the wide belt of pine their
course lay obliquely downhill. IF
anything were needed to spur them
on, the thunder of the fire sweeping
down the forest behind served as a
dread warning that they had only
minutes left to escape disaster.
Halfway down the ridge, Denison
paused to rest Jane in his arms. She
was painting like an antelope.
Brave grill" he murmured. "Not
a sob-not a tear"
"But we must hurry, Bill" she
painted.
