Newspaper Supports Right
To Criticize Nations Rulers

Washington, ID. c. ULNS). i a
brief filed with the Supreme Court by
the Schenectady, n. V, Union Publish
ing Co., the court was told that the
right of a private person to speak
freely in criticism of the acts and at
titudes of national officials was just
as important as "the right of a ma
tiOnal official to speak freely on public
Matters
.'The right to criticize our rulers dis
tinguisheS our way of life from that of
the relationships; it is our major cor
receive and without it the democratic
mode is impossible" the brief de
clared.
The court was asked to reverse Il
decision of the Federal Circuit Court
ut New York which held that state
ments published by the Schenectady
Union Star in 1888 We're libelOus. The
newspaper had charged that Repre-
sentative Sweeney, of Ohio, was oppos-
ing the appointment of Emerich Burt
Freed as Federal District Judge at
Cleveland on the ground that he was a
Jew.
The newspapers brief declared that
what the Circuit Courts decision
means in practical effect is that com
ment on matters of public interest, and
particularly on public officials, is now
OF all times in American hiStOry-tO
become Il dangerous thing
1t contended that under the reason
ing of the Circuit Court it would be
equally libelous to say of Represen-
tative Sweeney that he opposed Freed
for Office because he was d Yankee, a
Southerner or of English extraction

ADOLESCENCE

'Tis said that fifty is the age
When man begins to turn about,
Retracing adolescent years
With much increasing fear and
doubt;
Believing that henceforth he'll slip
And lose prestige and faith in self
And in a few years at the most,
He'll find himself on topmost shelf.
Of course he will if he so thinks,
But not if he but thinks Alright,
For second childhood's long delayed
For all who have the CUTS to fight
Their way ahead toward some new
goal,
And keep their thinking up to
If they'll do this, though four-score
ten,
Youths helplessness won't prove
their fate.

Increase In Child
Labor In New York
10000 Employment Certifi-
Gates Issued Throughout
State Lost Yeur

New York City ULNS). - Child
labor, long blot of American civiliza-
ton, is on the increase with aprrOXi-
mately one child in nine between the
ages of - and II working in factory
and field in New York state last year,
says report made public by the State
Department of Labor's Division of
Women in Industry and Minimum
Wage.
The increase is part of nationwide
trend, the report points out. Child
labor violations i'm the state and ma
ton are likewise on the increase.
More than 136,3OO employment GER
tificates were issued by the Depart
ment of Education to children through
out the state in 1911 as compared with
7O,7OO the previous year. The report
states that Il similar heavy increase"
in child labor took place preceding the
last World War in 1861.
Young Take Adults Places
1t is also pointed out. however, that
this recent unprecedented rise in child
number of adults in the state who were
out of work were seeking unemploy-
ment insurance benefits which would
indicate that childreiiss:. to- some extent,
were being hired for jobs which adults
might have filled.
| "AS more and more children 90 into
industry in this emergency, we must
make sure that the safeguards for the
protection of their health which New
York state has built up are not only
maintained but if necessary increased,
said Miss Kate Papert, director of the
Minimum Wage.
''If the minimum standards set forth
in the child labor law of New York
state are necessary in peace-time, then
in wartime they are even more inn
pOrtant. These standards grew out of
long years of study of the effects of
working conditions on the growing
child.
"New York State knows that the
protection of its working population
generally and particularly its children
pay the highest dividends in good
health and high level of production
Thousands Leave School
| Thousands of children have left
school to take jobs in defense indus
tries or to replace workers called to
defense industries from civilian indus
tries. They were given unskilled and
routine jobs in manufacturing indus,
tries, such as packing, labelling, past
ing, assembling, folding, sorting ana
stock-shipping. Others worked at clerl-
cal jobs, as errand boys, as domestics
and pin boys in bowling alleys. These
children, it was explained, had work
ing papers" issued only upon proof OF
physical fitness, schooling records, evi-
dence of age, us well as q pledge of a
job from an employer.
Vacation work permits for non-fac
tory work to be done out of school
hours and during vacations rose 81 pei
cent in 1911 over 1910 throughout tht
state, with the greatest increase among
the 16 and 17-year-old youths.
In addition to the children holding
working papers, 1856 boys and girls
over II years of age were released
from school last fall and early winter
to help with the emergency harvesting
of crops. An aggregate total of 124, lG2
school days were lost by these children
who were picking fruits and vegeta-
bles, cutting fall feed, filling silos and
cutting and huSking corn.

SUGAR SAVERS

Here are some suggestions from
Consumers Guide" publication of
Consumers Counsel Division of the L.
S. Department of Agriculture that will
help you sweeten your days of sugar
ratiOning.
''Dried fruits contain plenty of ma
tural sugars. Dried apricots and dried
peaches make good snacks just as they
come; cooked, they make desserts that
don't need much sugar.
when you stew fruits, add the
sugar toward the end of the cooking
period. 1t takes less to sweeten them
that way. Adding a pinch of salt, too,
will help bring out the sweet taste.
"Serve salads with canned or fresh
fruits as desserts instead of cakes,
pies or puddings.
"Fruit juices, like grape, prune,
orange, and grapefruit, can take the
place of soft drinks you'll do without.
make your gelatin desserts with
fruit juices for sweetening.
"Above all, don't waste sugar by
putting too much in your coffee cup,
leaving some undisSolved in the bot
tom. Try using less on your cereal,
too. You may find you like it just as
well.'
How Do You Choose Fats?
Some fats do better jobs than others,
so choose the ones you buy according
to the use you want to make of them,
suggests Consumers Guide" publica-
| ,f ;,,;
sion of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
When you substitute one fat for an
other in recipes, remember that lard
is 100 per cent fat, butter and mar.
garine SO per cent fat, and that some
hydrogenated vegetable fats, while
they are 100 per cent fat, are bullliel
than lard because they have beer
whipped.
If you Use butter or margarine il
place of lard or some other 100 PEI
cent fat, use extra tablespoons fol
each cup of lard called for.
If you use lard or a 100 per cent
fat in place of butter or margine, us,
a cup less tablespoons for each cul
of butter or margarine the recipe calls
for.
Creamed hydrogenated fats may b'
used measure for measure in place o.
margarine or butter, but when you re
place lard with a hydrogenated vege
table fat, use an extra tablespoon ant
a half for each cup of lard called for
