We would find that power w ould be J given to the bureau to enforce the j law and a- s'ated by one in the t'hild! Labor Bureau the key to the situa-1 tion would be the "Certificate issued! by the bureau, and unless the bureau j issue the certificate no child -4-r.blj even wash until it reached the age of IS years. In order to secure a certitn-att there would be four requisites: First, conclusive proof f the child* agre; second the physical ability of the applicant and fourth the kind of work to he engaged in Under the third requisite a Fedora! agent would examine the child under! Is to determine whether or not it has sufficient education to com pi \ with the requirements of the bureau ami if it did not the application tor certificate would be rejected. Ir. tht south we have many hundreds of negroes who fail or refuse to take advantage of the public - hooi .ys-j tern, and would be thrown upon the] community without work. But what woul dit lead to? What i< the next step? Major Bulwinkle sug-: ge-ted "that there may be children with one i?r both narrnts who are unable to go to school on account of the lack of money. Congress will then he asked to pass laws granting widows' peusions and bounties for children in order that they may attend school until they hav?- reached the required age. ' The proponent? o? the bin aigued that "Congress would never prohibit the labor of children on tin farms." hut Bulwinkle wanted to know why then, *he necessity for giving Congress that power? He contended that the Federal government had always1 assumed all the powers granted it. "and a little more besides." Con-i gressman Pou made argument against! the hill and emphasize dthe same j point. He was interrupted by Congressman Conn ally of Texas, who ... i, ,f . .

Modern Practice In the days of the horse, main arterics of travel naturally entered t itles at the most convenient place and travel along the highway passed dowr. Main Street without slowing up. The hc-rse drawn vehicle could get thru a city as fast as it could travel the country road. With the advent of the swift moving car and auto trucks, conditions changed. Through traffii ??r. roads is generally slowed up in the city, due to crossings, congestion, :iarro\ streets, one way streets, stopping for pedestrians and street cars, etc. In addition through traffic brougi thr nigh a city adds largely to the city's traffic problem. The modern idea is to divert thru traffic around large centers. The few additional miles thus traveled are more than made up for in the decrease of time. Thus a by pass or cut off which lengthens the through wiii + A ~: l? ? -? ? ? ivMvv wii uuica, may aim liiiny mmutes to the running time; but where R. D.
