In The Sir WalfNr li..irl

Raleigh, June 4.-Voters had to get
to the polls today sometime between
z a. m. and p. M. in order to regis
ter their choices in the primaries
That's the result of legislation in
the 1887 General Assembly, which
changed the old sun-up to SHUTDOWN
rule.
Which reminds that this was the
only thing done as the result of .
much ballyhooed and widely heralded
campaign to revise North Carolina's
voting rules and regulations.
The State Board of Elections chair
man, then Major L. P. McLendon of
Greensboro, recommended wholesale
changes, frightened rules for absentee
voting, a bona fida and brand new
registration all over the State, re-
strictions on the practice of provid-
ing markers" at the polls; a whole
series of radical and wholesome re-
forms.
The State executive committee took
practically all the teeth out of this
program, and when the legislators
get through stalling, the election re-
form mountain had given birth to d
very, very tiny mouse in the form of
a change in the voting hours at pri-
maries.
All of which was really raucous
laugh to observers who had already
smiled at the credulity of of those
who actually believed-and there were
some just that ,naive-that a legisla-
ture of hardboiled politicians would
do anything toward making control
of elections a bit more difficult.
Of course, all were not so callous
and frank as the western House mem
bers, who fatty declared in commit
tee hearing: eff we abolish the alb
sentee ballot or modify the present
system in any effective way it will
mean that at least fifteen Republicans
will come down to Raleigh next time
in place of that many of us Demo
Gratis here now" Those may not have
been his exact words, but that was
the general tenor and effort of his
remarks.

ROLLINS SPEAKER
AT KWAN|S MEET
Discusses Underprivileged
Child; Advocates IL
Months School

II. M. Rollins, superintendent of tn.
city and county schools, was the prin-
clpal speaker TO the Kiwanis club Fri
day evening at its weekly luncheon
meeting, treating the question of the
under-privileged child. The program
was in charge of E. o. Falkner, chair
man of the under-privileged child
committee
w. r. Turner, president of the club
presided over the meeting, and the at
tendance was 90 percent of the en-
rollment. Mr.. Turner announced the
regular monthly meeting of the direc-
tors would be held Tuesday evening
of next week at the Capitol Cafe, with
E. T. Creole as host. Guests at last
nights meeting were C. S. Calvert
with J. G. Gardner: James Hunter,
with DR.. Thomas Hunter, and Prof
Rollins, guest of the club
Mr. Rollins outlined the history of
work in communities in the old days
in the way Of caring for the under
privileged child. 1t was done largely
through the churches, he said, but
later on provision was made in the
establishment of orphanages, and this
has been to some extent replaced by
work in the schools and through civic
organizations.
The speaker said the greatest cure
for the privileged child today is
through education. He explained he
meant not only books, but physical
and moral training as well. He said
what is needed is 12-months school
instead of eight months and in that
school term the child should be taught
not only book knowledge, but how
to work and how to play as well. He
said the boy of today goes to school
eight months in the year and then
spends the other four months scour-
ing around the country, rowing the
highways and getting into. trouble,
thus forgetting half what he learned
the eight months he was in school.

Bureau Of the Labor Department.
In this third OF series OF articles,

the best ansuers noD obtdinable.
By the Associated Press.
What restrictions other than in con-
nection with wages and hours does
the new fair labor standards law pro-
vide?
1t provides that goods manufacture d
or handled by oppressive child labor
shall not move in channels of inter-
state commerce
What is Oppressive child labor?
1t is defined broadly as the labor
of child under the age of Is years,
or of a child between 16 and le
years in an occupation declared by
the chief Of the. Children's Bureau to
be hazardous for the employment of
such children or detrimental to their

is hazardous or detrimental to health7
The chief of the Childrens Bureau
IN the Department of Labor, Miss
Katharine Lenroot, who administers
the child labor provisions of the law,
makes Investigations and inspections
and, cooperating with the Attorney
General, brings court actions.
Does this law provide that no child
under 16 shall have opportunity to
earn any wages?
1t Is not so sweeping. A child may
work for his parent or the equivalent.
except in manufacturing or mining
occupations. Furthermore. the chief of
the Children's Bureau may issue regu-
latlons permitting other work of chill
dren between IA and Is years provid-
ing neither their schooling nor health
be endangered by it and providing that
children between IA and l6 years shall
not be employed in manufacturing or
mining occupations.
Not All Under Is Barred.
Must employers in the manufacture
ing or mining industries dismiss all
workers under Is years of age?
No. The 1s-year minimum does
not 60 into effect in any occupa ton
until the chief of the Childrens
Bureau finds and declares such oc-
cupation to be hazardous or detri-
mental to health or well-beine and
by order puts the l8.year minimum
INTO effect. Such declaration and
ORDERS will be preceded by investiga-
tons and public hearings which will
be given full publicity. The l8-vear
minimum will be applicable on an
occupational rather than an industry
basis, therefore it may be found and
by order declared that hazardous or
detrimental occupations include some
put not all employments within a
given industry.
Are any occupations specifically ex-
empt from the child labor provisions?
Yes. Agricultural work is exempt,
providing it does not interfere with
legally required schooling. Child &C.
tors also are excepted.
Penalties for Violation.
What are the penalties for viola
tons OF the child labor provisions?
The same as those for violations
OF wage or hour provisions, a fine
(maximum $l0,000) or Imprisonment
tmaximum six months) or both, but
no Imprisonment for first of1ense.
Are actual employers the only ones
liable for violations of the law?
No. Any producer, manufacturer
or dealer who ships or delivers for
shipment any goods produced in vio-
lation of the law may be prosecuted.
Is it necessary for conviction to
prove that the actual goods shipped
or delivered were products Of child
labor?
No, If such illegal child labor was
employed anywhere in or about the
establishment from which the goods
came within 80 days prior to re-
moval of the goods 1t is unlawful to
put the goods in the channels of
commerce.
Is common carrier equally liable
ii he transports such goods?
No. A common carrier is obliged
to accept goods for transportation,
and the law specifically provides that
no liability attaches to such carrier
for handling goods produced in viola
tion either of child labor or wage and
hour provisions of the law. The law
aims at the persons who deliver to
the carrier.

SUbaoays For Chicago

With the approval of a grant of
Is million dollars by the Public
Works Administration toward a
project involving a total expendi-
ture of nearly 40 million. it ap-
pears that Chicago will at last
have a passenger subway system,
thereby realizing a dream of more
than 80 years.
The downtown area of Chicago
presents what is perhaps the
worst transportation problem in
the world, the congestion during
rush hours being almost intoler-
able, in spite of high efficiency in
the use of facilities now available.
These include surface and elevat-
ed street cars, bus lines and also
taxis.
According to present plans, the
subway tubes will be tunneled
about IS feet under the street
level, Passengers will descend
seventeen feet to the ticket win
dow level by steps, then ride the
remaining eighteen feet to the
trac level on escalators. Princi-
pal lines will be on State and
Dearborn streets, which traverse
the chief business district north
and south.
Obviously, the expenditure of 40
million dollars will mark only a
beginning in the development OF
subway system comprehensive

There is no season that can
match it's dying beauty, no day in
June possesses the gorgeous and
tremendous wealth of color. And
for a brief interval there will be
a hush of infinite sadness and ST.
lentIy the fullness of the earth,
and the creatures of the air will
disappear, leaving the fields bare
and the skies void of their songs.
And with the falling of the leaves
there will be a moment of mourn
ing.
No more of breathless beauty
could we expect than this. Au-
tumn is made of fragile gossamer
and cobweb. 1t could not endure
forever; we would not want it
that way. There is hint of ire,
mendous sadness, an air of great
sorrow that touches the heart and
awakens the echoes of the soul
so that the dreariest street takes
on a new glow, and the river be-
comes a line of Scriptural beauty
1t the very approach of death
there comes a great light from the
skies and invisible voices are
heard singing their requiem.

Tt Pays To Advertise

One of the phenomena of the
current business revival is the in
crease in sales of advertised pro-
ducts.
During the time when business
induces were slipping downward,
the man selling advertised goods
sometimes was put up against diff.
fiicult completion and for fairly
obvious reasons.
Chief among these was his in
vestment in name, which is only
another way of saying investment
in the faith and confidence of the
people.
He could not easily cheaper his
product to meet price, whereas
the manufacturer whose name or
brands meant nothing was under
no such pressure to maintain quail
ity. If price was the controlling
thing he could make it.
Another and more complicated
factor was the fact that makers OF
advertised goods found it difficult
to play with prices. A good many
of them offered articles for which
the public had become accustomed
to paying certain price. They
were slow to increase the prices
on the upward swing beginning In

For Armistice Dag

When the armistice was signed
November II, 1918, which was
supposed to have ended the ter
rible World War, was it really
ended after all?
The dictionary defines "armis-
tice" as "a brief suspension of hos
tilities by agreement" The word
conveys the thought that the hos
tilities are quite likely to be re-
newed within a short time. 1t
has sometimes seemed as if the
world did not really stop fighting
on November II, 1918, but that a
form of warfare has been carried
on ever since, which might almost
any time break out in violent hos.
tilities.
What the world wants is peace,
real peace, not any mere temper
airy suspension of hostilities be
cause the combatants are out OF
breath and want to recover then
wind before they proceed to bat
ter each other some more.
The contentious of a time o!
theoretical peace have been so in
tense, that the fires have beer
kept alive and will flare up agail
unless people have a care.
