Child Labor Regulation No. l, re-
lating to certificates Of age for en-
ployed children under the child labor
provisions of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act of 1898, was issued today by
Katharine F. Lenroot, chief Of the

At the same time Miss Lenroot an

for cooperation with States for issu-
ance of certificates will be developed.
The regulation issued today contains
the definition of certificate of age

tain the proof of age which must be
submitted with an application for a
certificate and rules governing dis
position of certificates

in the affirmative, he would be rlcn,
II in the negative, the Land Woulo
eventually be sold for unpaid taxes
Dana fingered the envelope, Before
him on his desk was a picture OF
Shelia. Her lips were smiling IN thaI
provocative manner that had at flrst
attracted his attention. Her dark
hair was halo about her lovely lace.
She was the most beautiful woman
he had ever known, and she was MS
wife, She had been his wife for IL
months They had been happy, or
at least he had He loved her pas
sionately, and he had believed she
loved him.
Oh. she had wanted things that he
was unable to give. This had neither
surprised nor saddened him. Every
woman wants pretty things, luXurles.
That Is natural.
Vaguely he had hoped that some day
he would be able to fulfill her every
wish, Then the Public Service Com
mission had written him about tne
dam. He had not dared hope, He had
replied to the letter and an answer
had come. There was good chance
that his sections would be used Tor
the dam site. The figure they named
had amazed him. He had said nothing
to Shelia. He would surprise her II
the deal went through. If not, She
would be spared the disappointment.
Time passed. No reply came from
the commission Then one day letter
came. He would have their decision
within a week.
That decision was contained in the
letter that lay before him on his desk.
And last night he and Shelia had quar-
relied. Over hat. A mere hat. She
had come across tricky little number
that she felt she could not get along
without.
But, darling, you've already bought
two new fall hats"
Have I? You talk as though I'm
spendthrift. Betty seymore has three.

first evening at the Talmadges. He
would like to see her like that always.
1t would mean lot to him.
He looked up, hearing her voice in
the dining room. She was asking
Martha if he had left for the office.
Martha's voice sounded queer when
she replied. He heard Sheila coming
toward the study. Curiously. his
heart began to pound. He knew why
when he saw her face. Something had
happened. She had reached decision.
She was about to deliver an untimatum
I've been thinking, Dana. I
couldn't help it. I've-come to a de-
cision."

angry. Neither of us was responsible"
She rushed on, as though she hadn't
heard. 1T was a mistake, our getting
married. Frankly, thought you were

everything I wanted. That's why

brutal and heartless. That's the way

me more than can return. I've al

ginning. I suppose you don't know
I've been seeing Lance Christian"
He swallowed hard, trying to control
his features and his voice.
Lance isn't rich. He has little more
than l."
His chances are better. Some day
he'll inherit fortune. Oh, I wish it
weren't so, Dana. Please try and see
it my way. I'm very fond of you. We
could have been happy I would have
learned to love you if-if-"
IF were rich?" he asked bitterly. A
smile tugged at the corners of his
mouth. If were rich" he repeated,
you would love me and we would be
happy together" His eyes dropped to
the letter. And that's what I want,
more than anything else in the world
for you to love me, for us to be happy"
She looked at him curiously, as
though vaguely, without understand
ing why, she knew that the letter that
lay between them contained something
of vast importance.
"Dana-you don't mean-there isn't
you aren't rich-really, are you?"
Dana looked at her and smiled. He
picked up the letter, held it for
moment in his hand, then slowly tore
it to bits.

Now Americans develop new,
better Ephedrine prescription

With the discovery of the Chinese
drug Ephedrine, science took great
step forward in its fight against head
colds! When you have a head cold,
the membranes of your nose become
swollen, thus interfering with normal
breathing. Ephedrine has the remark
able power to shrink almost instantly
these swollen, irritated membranes
thus tending to clear the nasal passa-
ges, make normal breathing easier.
Now comes new and important
development in the use of this mar
velous drug! The makers of REM for
Coughs have perfected remarkable
Ephedrlne prescription for use in re-
heving head-colds. 1t is called REL.
REL combines a special form of
Ephedrine with another valuable in
gredlent. In step with advanced med
ical opinion, REL is water soluble"
... not an oil /. . so it mixes instantly
with the watery secretions of the nose.
That's why REL is absorbed so quick
ly... works so fast. 1t actually Starts
relief in half-a-minute! REL reduces
the swelling. releases the mucus il. .
