The m ® u Women, Bless’Em! EN THOUSAND or so folks were standing in | get tick for the world series in Washing they had been standing there for hours, Along came a woman who wouldn't go to the end of the line. She tried to edge in beside some girl and they turn her down. Then she smiled at a man nearby, and talked. After 15 uncomfortable moments b Squirm into the line ahead of him. When « man tried to do the same thing the mob yelled until a policeman dragged him away. Nobody told on the woman. Why should a woman demand different treatment from @ man at such a time and place? The ball park was not a sinking ship or a burning building. There was no need enforce “Women and Children First.” All the healthy Baits assembled there had assembled voluntarily because they were sport lovers and presumably fond of fair play. Fair play does not take advantage of sex or anything else. What line of reasoning led the man to believe his “chiv- ailrous” action was admirable? Tf sacrifice of the place ahead of him had been his to give away, he would be above criticism. But sever hundred people behind him were all affected. Youngsters Who Toil O FIGURES tell the truth? Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, of Florida, whose own State is a bad enough child labor offender, says he is highly @ratified because North Carolina has recently joined with Georgia and Louisiana in turning down the child labor amendment. : + Fletcher tries to prove that such an amendment is unnec- Sary because, he says, “according to the census figures of 1920, there were only 9,473 children under 14 years of age employed in the entire mechanical and manufacturing industries of the United States.” Just a minute, Senator! Mechanical and manufacturing industries form but one of the divisions of labor which in 1920 occupied 1,000,000 ren under 16 years of age in our fair land. All the work, even in cotton mills, is not yet being done by adults, for census figures state that in 1920 children of 40 to 15 years inclusive formed 5.8 per cent of all the ‘cotton mill operatives. Senator Fletcher deliberately ignores those children 14 and 15 years old who were in 1920 employed in numbers totaling 682,795. More than 175,000 of these were engaged Mm “manufacturing and mechanical industries,” including cotton, silk and woolen mills. ’ These industries, as is well known, draw their greatest Timber of child recruits from those over, rather than Under, 14. » Senator Fletcher, however, like North Carolina, seems to believe that anyone over 14 can shift for himself. Taking the Count 'ANDIDATE DAWES was met by a reporter when he reached Terre Haute. The reporter asked him a series of questions about the imer bank mess. _ *I have been asked those same questions before,” said Dawes. “I will answer them, but I want time.” _ So it seems Mr. Dawes will take the full count in which to frame his answer. The longer it is delayed the more People will be interested in it. After all this delay it ought to be good. A Vital Problem O WONDER J. B. McClusky appeals to the old flag, the constitution and eternal fitness of things. He has been outraged in his inalienable right to wear an apron as he deems best. + Mac is general utility man in the kitchen of West high School, Minneapolis. Dressed in his apron, the other day, he was chasing his broom up and down the kitchen when Miss Frances Kelly, supervisor of home economics, entered. _ Frances told Mac his apron was not on straight, or some- , and attempted to instruct him. Mac replied that had worn an apron for 40 years and it was not for le but for business; that her way would reduce his efficiency from 20 to 25 per cent, and that he could not see her at all. Then Frances slapped her hands together and told Mac he was out of it. "So the school board has a big problem on its hands. _ Mac says, pointedly and pertinently, that, as an Ameri- _ ¢an citizen, he will nog be “shackled in the garb of slavery —no, by jiminetty! Frances says nothing, but wears a lown-went-McClusky_look.. The school board cogitates. 6 a tense situation. Endowment of Love IFE is both grave and gay. There is something patheti- cally grave about the littie heart-gift of Mrs. George K. Wells, of Evansville, Ind., to the students’ loan fund of the college at Emporia, Kan. Mrs. Wells had a boy named Dick. Like a mother, she lived and planned for him. Far ahead she saw him at college and began to save a penny here and a penny there against that proud time. But Dickie was drowned last summer when he had attained the'age of 12, and a mother’s labor of love came to naught —so she thought. But time helped her and clarified her thoughts. She has just sent the $110 she had saved for Dickie’s college education to the Emporia institution to “help someone else thru college.” Dickie is lost to her for- ever and her heart aches, but he did not live even his brief years in vain. The philosophy of her grief told her how to prevent that. UST a little old holder that’s made out of glass and a top-plece that's blown of the same.
