State Manufacturers Cnange Provisions. Would I HOLD MEET AT INDIANAPOLIS Fredrick Declares Families Are Deprived of a Part of the Income They Could Have If Children Were Permitted to Work. Indianapolis. Viewing the present provisions of the child labor law to be detrimental to many families, the Indiana Manufacturers' and Shippers' association. In session at Indianapolis, voted to instruct its legislative committee to endeavor to bring about an amendment to the statute. The members of the organization declare thoy do not desire to be placed in the light of opposing the law. but rather they object to the provision which makes a flat statement that a child may work only after it attains a certain age. J. E. Fredrick of Kokomo, retiring president of the association, declared after the session that the provisions of the present law are such that many families are deprived of a part of the income they could have if children were permitted to work, and many others, he said, are deniod a proper livelihood by reason of the provisions of the law which prohibit children from working. "We do not oppose the provisions of the law which prohibit children from working In Insanitary surroundings," said Mr. Fredrick, "nor do we oppose the provision which prevents the employment of children where am ly The asTociatlTn brieve. : Z V the wsees of children are , their wages are not needed by the that, whore the wages of children are ; necessary' to the welfare of tho family and the conditions under which they work are proper, they should be allowed to aid in maintaining the family." Some of the members suggested that a provision be inserted In the child labor law to require all minors under a given age to attend night school when employed during the days, but the organization did not act on this. It was expected that the organization does not desire to see enacted asy amendment to the statute which In any way will affect the present compulsory education law. Any amendment which would change the present statute. It was explained, would be applicable only to the season when school is not In session. C. M. Kimbrough of Muncie, former state senator, spoke in favor of the amendment to the law, saying that to prevent a child from working under a given age prevents the earning of a proper livelihood for many families.

"It Ib to be hoped." the report will say, "that before many years every epileptic in Indiana capable of Improvement, if not cured. n..iy bo admitted promptly at the state institution. With its large farm and careful administration. It offers the best treatment known for epilepsy outdoor employment and proper dleL" Four additional cottages will be opened for occupancy on the farm within a short time. With the present facilities the farm can care for 116 men and boys, and that number was in the village at the close of the fiscal year.

There were 29 in the bospit als for the Insane. 261 In the state Knhnoi fnr PhlA-Minrfmi Vm.fh nnd two hundred In county infirmaries. "There is no way of telling." the board says, "how many others are living in homes In the state, but the number 13 doubtless considerable." School Apportionment Delayed. Announcement of the January apportionment of funds to the county schools by the state superintendent of public Instruction will probably not be mado before the latter part of next week, says John I. Hoffman, deputy superintendent, who has charge of the apportionment The law requires that the apportionment be made according to the December settlements of the county auditors with the auditor of state, and gives the county a mil tors until December 31 to make such settlement Only 4S of the 92 conn; Irs of the state have made thHr settle tmnis and In a i..n ber of thete some Chan are to be n ado.

Ended the Controversy. On the steeple of an old Universal1st church In Bath. Me., there Is a wooden figure of an angel. It Is not a remarkably fine specimen of art, and has always been somewhat laughed about, especially because of Its highheeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer recalls the story that a former pastor of the North Congregational church once accosted a devoted Ualversallst with the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you ever Bee an angel with high-heeled shoes on its feet?" "Why. no," answered Mr. Raymond, "I can't say that I ever did; but did you ever see one without themr Young Age Pensions. Young-age pensions! Why not? Titles, honors, riches, pensions and most other good things are, as a rule, postponed to a period of life when the capacity for enjoying them has been blunt.ed. Australia was one of the first countries to adopt old-age pensions, and now a labor member of the commonwealth parliament proposes a complementary scheme of young-age pensions. He would start by pension lng the fourth child at birth. The fact that three had previously been born showed that the parents wore doing their duty and deserving well of the state. The young-age pension would "reward Industry and encourage the birth rate." London Chronicle. GOT IT. Got Something Else, Too.
