Hartford, March 13.—~The char- ter amehdments for the city of New Britain will, positively come up for /& hearing beforé the cities and bor- “oughs committee of the legislature April 9. The amendments have been postponed I order that morc time might be given for the offi- elals of New Britain's government to prepare testimony. Representative Pape of Newing- ton is having his hands full of late arranging for a bill, which it passed would have the state pay a portion of the cost of a section of Robbins avenue In that town. It is a (doubled barreled affair inasmuch as the clalms committee hears all about it ‘Tuesday, March 24, and the roads, rivers and bridges com- ‘mittee will hear it Thursday, March 26, in order that if everything goes according to “Hoyle” the road might be adopted as a state aild proposition, It is rumored that.the | appropriations committee has be- | ecome interested in the affair as well | as the officlals of the town of New- ipgton. = Represenfative Pape s putting up a fight and won the first wictory before the claims committee | when he had the matter postponed #About a weck ago because some of the Newington officials were not notified and the hearing would not have the weight it would have if | they were there, | VIGAR ROCIS THE CRADLE OF BABY | o e—ereener | i Follows Custom ~ Established Almost 700 Years Ago Mansfield, Eng., March 18.—When the Rev, J. Lowndes, the bachelor | vicar of Blidworth, near here, rock- ed a baby's cradle in his church on | a recent Sunday it was not in an effort to stop the babe's cry, but| the carrying out of a custem which | has been observed for mnearly 7”"1 years. | Prom the thirteenth century it has been a rule that the most re- “gently born baby in the parish ghould be taken to church on the| Sunday nearest dedicated to God. On Saturday -mlghl the child is baptized, next‘ ‘d.)y it is again taken to the sapc- tuary ‘and placed in a tiny cradle fnside the altar rails. The vicar | Gfhen dedicates the child to God and ! srocks the cradle. | ! The ceremony is intended to sym- | bolizé the Biblical story of the presentation of the Child Christ in| the temple. The cradle in Blid- worth church was draped with linen and bedecked with a mass of flow- ers. At the head of the eradle were Placed two lighted candles and two acolytes stood near with lighted tapers. In the olden days the par-!| {shioners used to parade the village streets carrving the child, but that part of the ceremony is now omitted. | Dublin Undecided if It Has a Lord Mayor Dublin, March 13.—Dublin is dis- cussing whether or not it has a lord | mayor, and opposite opinions are | held.

FIGHT FOR CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT Defeat by Fourth of States Makes. Partisans Determined Washington, March 13—\‘1hough more than one-quarter of the stateu have rejected the proposed child labor amendment to the constitu- the beginning. Proponents of the amendment re- | and have intensive campaigns| during 1925 to change the unfavor- able votes.

There is historical precedent for | a state legislature changing its vote on a constitutional amendment, It happened to some of the constitu- tlonal amendments in the recon- struction days after the Civil war, but the child labor amendment pre- | sents some features on which it is said a legal fight could be based As every school boy knows, a con- stitutional amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of states, thirty-six. Therefore, re. tion by thirtecen state legislatures, deadlock or action in one house and not in the other may serve to de- feat it. The constitution also that when three-fourths of the states have ratifiel a proposed amendment, it shall be proclaimed. This is done by the state depart. ment. But the constitution makes no provision for proclaiming the defeat of .a proposed amendment and thereby closing the chapter. the provides | Bllls now are pending in Congress o Jixve defeat as well as ratification proclaimed, but if enacted 1nto law they probably would not affect the | [ chila labor amendment, but would apply to future proposals. The state department, in addition to being the department of forelgn affairs of the government, is the recording office whero laws passed by congress are oflicially registered. It tukes no notice of the proposed laws which fall of enactment, And it has not been the practice for states to report when they rejocted a constitutional anfendment, They only report when they accept one. But the question of how long a | proposed amendment may pend, while state legislatures afe swayed one way and the other upon it, pre- may come to the supreme court of the United States, The proponents of the child labor amendment ar. gue that states have changed be- fore and been recorded according| to their latest decision. Congress, in submitting the’ Pro- | gpring, posed amendment to the states, did not fix any time limit within which they must act, as it did in the pro- hibition amendment, the eighteenth, In that case congress required ace tion within six years. But in the case of the ehild labor amendment there i8 no such limitation and the supporters of the change contend | that the amendment can be made effective any time 36 states ratify it, WOMEN HAIL FROM HUMBIE VI][IATII]NS‘ Textile Workers Included in; List of Reichstag Members | L Berlin, March 6.—Of ths 4'!3 | members of the new German Reich- | | stag, 83 are women, This is 6.6 per- cent of the total, or a little more | than in the previous short-lived | parliament, where the percentage | was 5.7, The Socialists furnish the largest contingent, for of their dele- | | gation 13 percent are women.
