The adage, “Year of snow, fruit will

stantiated by modern meteorology.
W. J. Humphreys, U. S. Weather
Bureau expert, explains: “A continu
ous, or nearly continuous, covering
of snow, incident to a cold winter, not
only delays the blossoming of fruit
trees until after killing frosts are
probable, hut also prevents the alter
nate thawing and freezing so ruin
ous to wheat and other grains.”
TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
Jan. 21, 1337 —The prince who was
1o become Charles V of France was
born. Still without a Hackctt, he is
remembered only because the first
mechanical house clock was made for
him by Henry DcVick in 1379. It
had a vibrating balance instead of a
pendulum, and although it varied as
much as two hours in a day, repre
sented the biggest improvement in
timekeeping in centuries.
It has been preceded by a few huge
tower clocks. The watch was to come
along afterwards. In most things, pro
gress is measured by inucrcase in
size. In timepieces, the opposite is
true.

The attack brought no advantage to
the Allies. However, it must have
made the German emperor reluctant
to see Bulgaria. He was currently

Raleigh, Jan. 21.—Only 276 children
under 16 years of age were certified
for employment in North Carolina
during 1935 and none of these was
less than 14 years old, according to
figures released today h.v Commission
er of Labor A. L. Fletcher. These fig
ures represent the “tremendous in
crease” in child labor in the State as
charged by northern manufacturers
and given as one of the reasons they
cannot compete with southern manu
facturers, especially textile manufac
turers. Fletcher said.
“But of the 276 children which were
certified for regular employment in
North Carolina during 1935. only 106
have been employed in industry and
only 82 in the cotton textile indus
try.” Commissioner Fletcher pointed
out. “So we cannot see whore there
has been any tremendous increase in
child labor in the State during the
past year, especially in the textile in
dustry. The facts are that most of the
textile mills now refuse to employ any
children whatever, largely because
they can employ experienced workers
for the same wages they would have
to pay 14 and 15 year old beginners.”
Most of the children who were
given certificates by the Department,
of Labor so they could be employed,
were boys and girls who had mothers,
or younger children dependent upon
them, it was pointed out. For em
ployment certificates are not issued
to 14 aihl 15 year old boys and girls
unless there is n real necessity for
them to work, Fletcher said.
Os til-' 276 children between 14 and
16 years of age who were regularly
employed during 1935. 212 were boys
and 64 girls. Os tlic total of both
sexes, 82 were employed in textile
mills, six in hosiery mills, two in silk
mills, ten in furniture and lumber
manufacturing and six in other lines
of manufacturing. Os the 170 employ
ed in the service trades. 113 were em
ployed in mercantile stores, largely as
delivery hoys. 28 in outside delivery
| service and 29 in other lines of work.
Os the 61 girls employed. 35 were
in textile mills, two in hosiery mills.
22 in mercantile stores, one in a silk
mill, one in miscellaneous manufac
turing) and three in mi’cellancpus
mercantile work.

that, the time has come when long
suffering patience calls for practical
and immediate action by the Congress
and the administration.
“I say this because of the news
that processing tax collections im
pounded by the courts are now to be
immediately returned to the proces
sors. The Supreme Court so ordered
I yesterday. This money, which may
total nearly $200,000,000. represents
charges which had in most cases al
ready been passed on to consumers,
or back to farmers.
“I do not question the legality of
! ihis action, but 1 Certainly do question
I the justice of it.
( “In its decision on the Hosaac mills
1 case declaring the AAA unconstitu
tional. the majority of the court ex
pressed disapproval of the idea of ‘ex
propriations of money from one group
for the benefit of another.’ The re
turn of this $200,000,000 to the proces
sors is exactly that.”
