FROM INDIANA

By ERNIE PYLE

RIDING THE ZEPHYR WEST, May 31.— The Burlington Zephyrs are among the most famous of the streamlined trains. Of course every road thinks its streamliners are the finest, end I'm not going to stick my head into th at argument. But the Zephyrs ‘are certainly al! right. It’s better than 1000 miles from ‘Chicago to Denver. You leave Chicago at 5:30 inh the afternoon. And at 8:30 next morning you're in Denver. That's, really going west, young man. They put it on big when you leave. Chicagc. There is a hand-" some sign in colored lights over the gate to the Zephyr tracks in the Union Station. And you walk out on red carpet, as. though it were a coronation or something. You look at your watch, and ,it’s 5:30 and you realize you're gliding. blind had been down you wouldn't have ‘known when the train started rolling. That Zephyr gets up and goes. From the very second we started, our progress out into open Illinois was an unbroken, .continuously accelerating thing. No stops, no switches, no slowdowns. We must have been hitting 85 long before we were out of Chicago. Fhat's one cf the secrets of ithe good running time, of course. They clear the track for the Zephyrs. It is qujet in the Pullman. You can hear the wheels, it is tru: but they seem faint and far away. The sound is more like that of surf on a shore, than of steel on -sheel. You hear it and feel it when ycu hit a rail crossing. But again it is faint and far away. You can feel that the car is lighter than the old-type Pullmans. Your cost and Brips on the seat across are jiggling up and down, but you yourself feel no vibration. You seem to glide. You hardly fcel the curves at all if you're sitting down, and certainly there’s no bumping or sidejerking. And ye I believe it’s harder to walk down the aisle on a streamliner than in the old trains.

” NE ” “Just Start Going Over’

F you hit a fast curve while you're walking, you aren’t suddenly thrown. . You just start going over and you keep on. going till you grab something. I guess it’s\centrifugal force. The whole. train takes a curve much as a car on a banked highway. A and the cars are “articulated.” . That means that the ends of two adjoining coaches, instead of sitting on separate trucks, sit on the same set of trucks. The interior of the Zephyr somehow did not surprise me at all. I thought even the interiors would be ‘fantastic. They aren’t. But the whole train is " beautiful, inside and out. The Pullman seats and berths are along the usual lines. But thei’re prettier, and the seats -softer (though still not as soft as the new coach" seats). The observation car is laid out as in the past, but it’s furnished more handsomely. The dining car is the same as usual except that it has red leather seats, and Venetian blinds at the long windows, and flowers in holders, and is very cheery. And one car has a modernistic bar and cocktail room. a : s ” » Each Car Dit’erent Color | ‘ACH Pullmar has a different color scheme, The berths are a little longer and a little wider than the old berths. There is a light at each end, and there's a faint blue light you can leave on all night if you want to. The uppers fold up- just as they always did. The berth curtains have little pockets where vou can put things. But it's still as hard to get your pants off in your berth. : # The men's washroom is brighter, but its layout is the same. |The washbowls are cream-colored, instead of the old nickel. And the .spout is stuck out from the bowl, so you can get your hand in the stream’ if you want to. Thz porter still hangs up a curtain and sleeps on the washroom lounge after midnight. And the peonle who ride on these fancy new

trains? I supposed -they would look different too. Wrong again. They! re still just people.

Mrs Roosevelt's Day

By E _EANOR ROOSEVELT

ASHINGTON, Sunday.—Recently ‘I read an article by Dorothy Thompson addressed to girls whe are graduating from school and college this June

and one line struck me particularly. She said: “You cannot always be a giver.”

I think that should be emphasized to all young people. You must, of course, give to the extent of your ability; but there also is an art in receiving. In the ability to receive gracefully there is often hidden a giftl as well, for a gift is never its own fulfillment: it must be completed by the appreciation of the one who receives it. t is only through appreciation and gratitude that many of us can become givers. Even the least of us can give sense of self-confidence and joy by true aospreciation of a gift. There can, hovever, never be real giving and joyfu! receiving except betweer] people who care for each other. This rule 10lds goog¢i even in the gifts we| receive from individ ials whom we do not know personally but the products of whose talents we enjoy. We “must care for the music or art or drama that we receive and appreciate, otherwise it will be so much meaningless chatter. We must care for the things which we buy for our houses, otherwise hey will always -be so much wood or glass or china, never the possessions which .make a heme different from a house. There must be love between people who give each other gifts of any kind, material or otherwise, and there must be love in our gratitude as we face our surrounding - world, or the gifts we give and tose we receive will be as meaningless and out of place as weeds in our garden.

The first of six stories recounting historic near parallels to the romantic episode of love in exile in which the Duke of ? Windsor and Mrs. Wallis Warfield have starred.

Let it not be imagined that Bonnie Prince Charlie was always a gallant philanderer, In ’45 he was once called “the Prince of chastity,” with a leer.: “Though not intended by nature to be a Casanova,” it is written, “he al-; ways had a fatal fascination for women.” The Marquis d’Argenson records in his diary, “Mme. de Guemenee took him as her lover almost by. force.”

LABOR PRACTICES BILL WOULD PUT BAN ON EXPLOITING OF CHILDREN

By E. R. R. ASHINGTON, May 31.— Abolition of child labor is one. of

the primary objectives of the Ad-

ministration’s Labor Practices Bill introduced in Congress by Rep. Wil-

liam P. Connery Jr. (D. Mass.) and Senator Black (D. Ala.) on May 24. Under its terms, employment, of children under 16—or, in hazardous Jobs, under 18—would be termed an “unfair labor practice, ”" and the products of factories employing such “oppressive child labor” would be barred from interstate commerce. President Roosevelt, in his message to Congress recommending passage of the bill; said that “a selfsupporting and self-respecting democracy can plead no justification for the existence of- child labor.” He held that “there should be no difficulty in ruling out the products of child labor from any fair market.” Strong sentiment for control of child labor had been evinced in

Congress even before the Adminis-.

tration's bill was brought forward. No less than 30 bills and resolutions to this end had_ been . introduced since the begin ng of the session. Two of the most important bills, offered by Sena lack and by Sen+ ator Barkley (D. K¥.), are modeled after the Federal Child Labor Law: of 1916, which was invalidated by a five-to-four decision of the Supreme Court in 1919. These bills would prohibit the interstate shipment of goods produced with child labor. A third pending bill, sponsored jointly by Senators Wheeler (D. Mont.) and Johnson (D. Colo.), seeks to utilize the regulatory mechanism sanctioned by the Supreme Court last January, when it upheld a Federal law forbidding transportation of prison-made goods into states having prohibitory laws. Under the Wheeler-Johnson bill, transportation of goods produced by children under 16 into states barring suchr goods would constitute a Federal offense. Thus, complementary state laws would be necessary. Such a law was passed by the New York Legislature this month but has S not yet been signed by Govern hman. Co-ordinate Feder te control over child labor is opposed by some students of the problem as unworkable. They contend that it would be virtually impossible to identify goods made with child labor because of the enormous number of separate producers. ” ”n 4 , T is estimated that nearly 2,000,000 children under 18 are at work at the present time, but the amount of child labor is much greater in some sections of the country than in others. ‘According to thr 1930 census, 89 per cent of the employed children 10 to 13 years, of age were in the 16 southern states comprising the South Atlantic, East South

Central and West South Central

- wages persist.” tions include work in bakeries, ho-

divisions. This in spite of the fact that these 16 states contain only

135 per cent of all the children, of

these ages in the population. The three southern geographical divisions also had a much higher proportion of working children aged 14 and 15. In the case of employed children aged 16 and 17, the proportions were fairly uniform throughout the” country. Somewhat more than one-half of all employed children work in nonagricultural occupations. Of the approximately 700,000 children aged 10 to 17 now: employed in cities and towns, about 40 per cent work in factories, about 21 per cent in ‘‘service” occupations, about 16 per cent in offices, stores and banks, and about '5 per cent in clerical occupations. The long-term trend of child employment in factories and mills is downward. Child labor in industry has been declining since 1910. But the general trend in most other nonagricultural occupations is toward the employment of larger numbers of children. The Children’s Bureau of the Department of Labor recently said that: “The child labor picture today shows a decided shift

in the employment of boys and girls

under 16 from factories, where child labor abuses first attracted public attention, to miscellaneous occupations in trade and service industries, in which child labor is more difficult to regulate than in large industrial plants, and ‘in which the old evils of long hours and low “Service” occupa-

tels, restaurants, laundries, and barber shops. - ”- ” 2 GRICULTURE is the most important single source of child

employment. The number of children under 18 employed in commercial agriculture or on “home farms” is estimated at more than 1,000,000, with about one-half of these under 16. About 100,000 children under 16 are engaged in commercial agriculture—working for wages for an employer. “The growth of largescale , commercialized agriculture,” the Children’s Bureau says, “has led to the hiring of thousands of children either as members of the family group or with strangers to work on truck farms, in beet fields, and in gathering fruits and berries, under conditions often as undesirable as any found in industrial employment.” A large proportion of these children are migratory workers. At least 400,000 children under 16 work. on “home farms” and are classified in the census as ‘‘unpaid family labor.” Except for compulsory school-attendance laws, this type of child labor is wholly unregulated, and regulation is strongly opposed by many persons on the ground that

| parental rights would be violated.

Katherine D. Lumpkin and Dorothy

W. Douglas, who recently completed an exhaustive study of child labor, contend that “this is a dangerous and ill-considered line of argument, and, that this type of work represents “one of the most serious and stubborn forms of child exploitation.”

They found that “the great mass of children allegedly at work for their parents, by strict analysis, are not working for parents at all, but for the planter or other farm owner on whose farm the parent is employed (together with his family) under the tenant and sharecropping system.” Pointing out that 88 per cent. of all children classified as ‘unpaid family workers” in. 1930 were in the three southern geographical divisions, they said: “To consider the children of tenant farmers as employed on their parents’ farms “is nothing but a euphemism.” The numbar of children aged 10 to 15 working on, tenant farms in the South was jestimated at 250,000, : : ” ” 2

Victory perched on his tartan banners. But at Derby, far down in the land of the Sassenach, the tide turned. Disheveled, already beginning to despair, *the bonnie Prince retreated. One night he

halted at Bannockburn House. Sir:

Hugh Paterson was his host. Sir Hugh's niece, Clementina, was at hand. : Charles Edward had a cold, and Clementina nursed him. Her remedy was cinnamon. It, and her slumbrous eyes, worked miracles. Charles fell in love with the most adoring, the most self-sacrificing of his followers. Then they parted, he to follow his fitful star, she to wait. ; Years later, remembered Clementina. His fortunes waned. The French court,

he

him tive. was a canoness in a| religious Chapter in the Netherlands. He summoned her and she went to him. From that time on, she became his accredited mistress. A T first all was well. They were happy. The famous spy, Young Glengarry, wrote to his Hanoverian employers in 1753, “Mrs. Walkinshaw is now in Paris, big with child. ‘The Pretender keeps herrwell, and seems to be fond of her.” But the clouds lowered. Clementina became: suspect to the Prince’s followers. Her sister was a lady-in-waiting at the Hanoverian court in. London. What more natural than to imagine that

.Clementina was the source of the information which ° eternally

aven. He was a hunted fugi-

seeped out about the Pretender?

Historians today discount the charge, but at the time it lost the Prince a lot of supporters. He became less prudent, and flaunted Clementina in public places. Stubborn as only a Stuart prince could be, he drank more heavily than ever. She seemed to partake of his excesses. They fought wildcats, drunk or sober. _ Came the day when life was unendurable. She grieved and complained. “Before 1745,” she wrote to a confidante, “I lived in London, in-great plenty, was between then and 1747 undone, and am now in a strange, poor ,place,

is regulated in every state; but starving indeed.”

there is great disparity in the provisions of existing laws. In a few states, notably in New York and Wisconsin, administration is relatively effective; in others little real regulation exists. Agriculture, domestic service, and street trades generally are not regulated. Regulation in other occupations in frequently vitiated by exemptions, legal loopholes and lax administration. Katherine Lenrot, chief of the Children’s Bureau, testifying before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, May 18, advised the committee “not to lose sight of the Pending Child Labor Amendment to the Constitution.” Regardless of the type of child labor legislation Congress might pass at this session, she said, only *‘a small number of children” could be covered as compared with the number which could be reached by legislation enacted after ratification of the amendment. The Administration Labor Practices Bill and other pending measures apply only to interstate commerce. At least three-fourths of all children now employed are working in agriculture, in local trade, of in intrastate service industries. Of the 700,000 ‘children under 16 employed in cities and towns, only about 100,000 were affected by the provisions of NRA codes, which banned child labor. Presumably, the. coverage of new Federal labor practices legislation would be even less broad. Submitted to the states in June, 1924, the Child Labor Amendment has now been ratified by 28 states —eight less than the required threefourths majority.

Jealousy flamed in him. He set tables about her bed at night, put chairs atop the tables, apd bells on the chairs, to tinkle at the slightest move. It is recorded that he beat her and accused her of infidelity. “My mistress has behaved so unworthily that . she has put me out of patience,” he writes. “I discard her.”

She didn’t wait for that, how- '

ever. In the town of Sedan she hired, one morning early, a coach.

T the age of 20, Princess Louise Maximilienne of Stol-berg-Gedern seems to have been a. most self-possessed young person. Twenty, in those days, was pretty old for an unmarried girl.

She apparently seized her chance to escape spinsterhood and indeed plotted her escape from the power of het sovereign, Empress Marie Theresa, who disapproved the match. She and Charles were wedded in Italy. Very soon in Rome a foolish young Swiss diletante was calling her -the: “Queen of Hearts.” She was blond, flirtatious, spirited. She distributed miniatures of herseli—to “young Danby, son of a rich Yorkshire squire,’ and to “a certain young Coke of 'Norfolk.” After a year's marriage, the Young Pretender, now old in years and frustration, began drinking “again,” it is told. A year or two later in Florence he is pictured as going to the theater every evening “where he sits in the corner of his box in a drowsy ‘posture . . . " “Two days ago, » the chronicler continues, “a couch was made for his box for him to lay at full length; on this he slept the greater part of yesterday evening. Visitors, however, to his wife go thither as usual. “He is jealous to such a degree that neither there or at home is she ever out of his sight. All the avenues to her room, excepting through his own, are barricaded. . . . He has frequent epileptic fits which, his. physician has told me, must end in apoplexy, and that he does not think it distant. IS apoplectic tendency must have been sorely roused when ‘the young Italian poet, Vittoriq Alfieri, his red hair perfumed, his blue cloak lined with scarlet, became a regular visitor to Louise in Florence. The last indignities apparently were accomplished

under. the nose of the sodden,

snoring husband. Finally, by a trick, she entered the convent of

the Little White Nuns, mfade her

exit by another gate, fled to Rome and—freedom. Embittered, humiliated, sterterous of breath, the Prince who had outlived his charm and his cause died in 1788. His illegitimate daughter by Clementina Walkinshaw was by his side. Canova's exquisite marble marks his resting place in St. Peter's in Rome, It seems to flatter his memory.

ERBERT W. FOLTZ is the only man I know around here who plays the jew’sharp—at any rate, in public. He started as a boy and kept at it ever since. He's pretty good, too. Mr. Foltz also plays the harmonica, which

\isn't anything like a jew’s-harp, although a lot of

people think it is. They ought to know better, says Mp Foltz. | A\jew’s-harp- looks simple enol until you tackle |

it. When played the way Mr. Foltz plays it, it is held between

‘the teeth. After which, a little

spring, or tongue is made to tremble with the finger while the performer (which is another name for Mr. Foltz) sucks in and expels air. It's hard to do without getting red in the face. ° The tones are made by the

way the air strikes on the tongue rwhile it. is trembling.

Goodness: only knows how old the jew's-harp is or how it got its name. It’s been on the market at least 300 years, or longer than Anyway, it is mentioned by Praetorius in his ‘“Organographica” in 1619. Praetorius called it a ‘“crebalum.”” What does. it mean? Search me, Mr, Foltz doesn't know either, . As for its other name, Mr. Foltz is of the opinion that the Jews didn't have anything to do with it. He suspects that it's a corruption of the French word “jeu” and that when you put everything together, it- means a toy-harp. Sounds reasonable ;enough, Outside of Mr. Foltz, most virtuosi of the jew’se harp are dead. . The first performer of any celebrity was‘ a Prussian soldier under ‘Frederick the Great, named Koch.

Some people are never satisfied, says Mr, Foltz.

xy A Woman's View By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

AROUND us are hundreds of devoted couples like Wallis Warfield and the Duke of Windsor who have come through great tribulation: to win their own" men who are ready to sacrifice opportunity, even life, for the love of a woman, and women who are eager to dedicate their years to the service of a man —but the scenes of these stories ate not laid in: castles. Nothing like this lush Hollywood setting for an actual love affair has ever come our, way before. The average individual is trembly and tearful at the idea of a deathless passion between the ex-King and his lady, but what makes him bite his nails with excitement is his mental vision of the two walking perpetually in‘ formal gardens, or through the high rooms of vast chateaus, or sitting on wide terraces of great houses, with a view that is always magnificent before them and eternal tenderness in their hearts. Edward and Wallis are not merely a man and a woman who, coming from opposite ends of the earth, gmet, loved and will marry. They are rare beings, veritable Prince and Princess of the fairy tales with which the childhood of each of us was entertained. “It lis love, not the individuals, that we adore. - In our minds. they go forever strolling over the sands of some far ocean where moonlight silvers the peaceful sea, where the wave’s whisper and the winds sigh furnish a noble accompaniment to the sighs and whispers. of the lovers. Although they are the most modern of creatures in-the most modern of worlds, they are destined to be fixed in the consciousness of ordinary men and women as fantastically unreal as painted figures on a fan. They are residents of a fairy palace—the castle of dreams which took shape in our infantile musings and is to all of us one of the realest of places. In fancy the lowliest and poorest man shares their glory and their love.

HE diabetic suffers with a tendency to infection 4&-because his ckin loses its resistance. Frequent boils and carbuncles and a great’ deal of itching of the skin may be signs of the appearance of diabetes.’ The person who is constantly hungry and cone stantly :disturbed by excessive urination is likely also to become irritable and depressed, so that a change in temperament may be associated with the development of diabetes’ From the point of view of the diggnosis, however, ‘the most signficant observation is the' discovery of sugar in the urine and the determining of the amount: of sugar regularly excreted. ‘When sugar is found.in the urine it is also customary to make a study of the amount of sugar in the blood, and pere haps to make what is called a glucose tolerance test to find out the extent to which the body can use the sugar that comes in. When these studies have been made the doctor regulates the patient’s diet and his habits of life in relationship to the diabetes. The extent to which the patient co-operates in following the doctor’s instruce tions determines his future and the length of his life. If the patient fails to co-operate, and if he fails to inform . himself about the nature of his disease, his life will be short. If he follows instructions, and if he develops a philosophic attitude toward his disease, he will find that he can live happily to almost his normal duration. There is no one diet that will do for all patients with diabetes. There is no one diet that any single patient with diabetes has to follow all the time. A person with diabetes should have a scale for weighing his food. Since it is his tendency to be overweight he must be given bulky foods in whith the percentage of sugary
