NEW STANDARDS FOR CHILDREN
V
!
A series of conferences in nine cities is now dis
cussingn the light of local conditions the stand
ards for the health, education, and work of the
American child drawn up by the Washington Con
ference on Child Welfare Standards held under
the auspices of the Children's Bureau, early in
May. Says a press bulletin, issued by th? Bureau
(Washington, June 1):
"According to the standards, sixteen is the low
est age at which a child should go to work in any
occupation. The only exception to this is that in
vacation time between fourteen and sixteen may
. . . . -i - i.
be employed m agriculture and domestic service.
Children between seven and eighteen should have
nine months of school, either full or part time,'
each year. A child must have finished the eighth
grade in school as well as reached his sixteenth
birthday befpre he may be employed. If he gets
a job when he is sixteen, education must be pro
vided for him during the next two years at day
time continuation schools. ' The working day of
minors shoufa never be longer than eight hours.
For children between sixteen and eighteen the
working day .should be shorter than
adults. Minors should be paid at a rate which, for
full-time employment, would vield at least the
X 7 -
'necessary cost of proper living'. They should not
be employed at night or m hazardous occupations.
"In order to protect mothers and babies, the
standards declare that narental care, trained at-
-A- 7
. tendance at childbirth, and adequate nursing and
domestic assistance should be made available for
every mother. The necessity of prompt and com
plete birth-reeristration was nointed out.
"More health centers should be established, and
a public health nurse secured for every two thou
sarr jjulation. For the schoolchild there should
be better school-buildings, more recreation and
better care of health. For the adolescent in school
or out there -should be advice and instruction as
to health needs and ample provision for whole
some recreation.
"The State was held to be particularly resDon-
sible for the welfare of its defective, dependent,
and delinquent children and for the supervision
of institutions or agencies caring for them. Only
as a last resort, the standards declare, should - a
child be removed from his own home.
"The standards set forth the nrincinles of Juve
nile court organization and methods of care for
the mentally handicapped child and the child of
11 -a . m -
illegitimate birth. They urge that more social
work for children in rural parts af the country be
undertaken. The appointment of State child-
welfare commissions and frequent revision of
child weltare legislation are recommended."

IS FRANCE RUINED IN VICTORY?
The terrific price in life and wealth paid by
trance lor victory is now causing grave concern

that the Allies who stood by the Republic in her

her to rise to a firm footing aerain. Since Ger

"The women who have stormed the
fortress of naval architecture have won
a place In what Is perhaps the most
Interesting professions In the world,"
says Manchester Guardian. "Mr.
Chesterton has commented on the odd
fact that, while men have been
building houses from the beginning of
time, they have not achieved anytning
like a perfect house, but the position
as regards ships Is still more curious.
Your house may not be a perfect house.

ships. Take the case of racing yachts.
Two vachts may be built on similar
plans by the same firm ; one will be a
rrlumDhant success, the other a ran
failure; no one seems to know why.
Big liners are built nqyadays In pairs
or trlDleta : vet any seafaring man will
maintain that they are entirely distinct
In every essential particular, and even
In the matter of speed there win al
most certainly be a difference. Stranger
than all Is the case of warships, wnicn
seem to delight In puzzling their archi

splendid cruisers In our own navy rad
ical changes had to be made after trial
trips, and It Is pretty well known tnat
some designs have been far from com

yet at this date It would have been
supposed that experts could not be de
ceived. However, it may ptrhaps be
said that woman will find a natural
affinity for these little peculiarities."

Cause of the Querry.
As soon as women have the vote
and the league of nations becomes a
reality, says Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
she is going to be a "gay jionng girl."
As it Is, no one would suspect her of
being past seventy. And she likes to
tell stories on herself. This is one
he told In Indianapolis to a group
of friends:
"When I was In California recently,
folks kept coming up to me and say
ing. 'How young you look, In most
surprised tones. Well, it began to
wear on me. Why shouldn't I look
young? So when a young girl came
np and said It for the 'eteenth time,
I said, 'So do you look young.'
"And then I learned the reason for
all the surprise. The newspapers had
been told that I was In California In
"96 with Miss Anthojiy. It had some
how got twisted to read : 'Dr. Shaw
was ninety-six when she was here
with Miss Anthony.' That would have
made me about 120 years old."
Cauflht at Last.
A father said to his pretty daugh
ter one morning:
"What time did you send that young
Simpson home last night?"
"Oh," replied the girl, "I don't think
it was very late."
"It must have been close to mid
night I"
"Why, father?"
"Didn't you send him out the back
door and hurry off to bed when you
beard me coming In?"
"Why, father, I had been In bed for
hours."
"You heard me, then?"
"Yes, you woke me up."
"And you had been In bed for
hours?"
"Ur huhr
"That certainly Is funny !
"Why?"
"Because when I went to light the
lamp I nearly burned my hands off on
the hot chimney." Youngstown Tele

Now that plant quarantine No. 37 of
the Agricultural department is in ef

plants without a permit, there will be
no more garden insects or plant dis

of the federal horticultural Doard, for
no insects or diseases can enter now
except with the permission of the

Virginia-Carolina tobacco tastes better"
Test its taste and see!
, We've been saying rightalong that Virginia-
Carolina cigarettes have a flavor, a zest, and a
relish that smokers of other cigarettes miss entirely.
Now! Put this tobacco to the Taste Test
vSmoke a cigarette made entirely of Virginia
Carclina. Right afterward, smoke a cigarette of
mixed tobaccos. The second cigarette will taste
"fiat" by comparison.
Make this test and you'll know why we keep
saying, ' 'Smoke Virginia-Carolina tobacco straight
smoke the all -Virginia -Carolina cigarette,
smoke Piedmont"
The Virginia Carolina Cigarette
NOTE Piedmonts, with all their taste-quality,
coaf ess than cigarettes of foreign-grown tobacco
which have to tack on the cost of Import duty.
If yoa want mil va7ue in place of part value, ask
for Piedmont, the all- Vtrginim-Cturolina cigarette.
