By KjMFtL. M. ELSH. l""L CORRESPONDENT SERVICE W ASHl.NUTO.V, Oct. The marked decrease in the number of children between ten and fifteen years old who are at work, shown by census figures for 1S20 Just published, Is more apparent than real, according to Dr. Alba r. Edwards, census expert of the department of commerce. The question of child labor remains a problem, accentuated by the supreme court's recent decision, despite the optimistic figures of the census of 1720. NOT GOOD COMPARISON The number of boys and girls at work in 1920. according to the statistics, compiled as of January 1 of that year, was 1,060,858, a decrease of 929,367 from the 1910 figures. Eut and here Is what largely nullifies the encouragement of the 1920 census the 1910 census was compiled In mid-April, when spring planting operations were at the peak, and farmers throughout the country were begging for help. In January, however, the number of farm laborers Is at its lowest ebb. "It is believed," Dr. Erwards' report states, "that when the enumeration was made in 1920 many children usually employed as farm laborers were not then at work and were not returned by the census enumerators as gainfully occupied. This appears to havo been true especially in the case of children living on the home farm. The enumerators' schedules show that a considerable proportion of such tfhil dren were returned as neither attending school nor being gainfully occupied." OAIX ICOSISTENT On the face of tha census returns only 617,309 children of both sexes were engagad in farm work in 13:20 as against 1,434.428 in 1910. But too many children were enumerated as farm laborers in 1910, according: to Dr. Edwards, who pointed out that, although an increase of 34.8 per cent occurred between 1900 and 1910 in the number of children employed on farms, ther wa."no similar increase In the total number of persons engaged in agricultural pursuits."

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence

Over Rheumatism!'

Mr. James H. Allen, of Rochester, n". ., suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrlbl cisease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally sided, after year of ceaseless study, that no oni can be free from rheumatism until trie accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits. wre dissolved In the Joints and muscles ami expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely ta'iished evtry eln and nymptom of rheumaI'.rm from his system. Jla freely pavo his discovery, which he calUa Ailonrhu, to others who tuo'.t It, v.lth what might be called marvelous ruccess. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instructed Summers' Pharmacy and druggists everywhere to disperse Allenrhu with the undergoes not show the way to complete stamHng that if the first pint bottle recovery he will gladfy return your money without comment. adv.

The decrease in tv u.ier of child wage-earners iu iJ20 was widespread throughout the country. Both in cities and rural districts the figures show rnarkeJ decreases. In only two classifications did their number increase clerical occupations and "public service" where their numbers jumped from 537 to 1,130 and 71.001 to 80,140, respectively. All the states showed decreases in the proportion of boys gainfully employed, with the District of Columbia standing alone with an increase. In the proportion of girls at work Arizona and the District of Columbia were the only units to show increases. DECREASED IV CITIES. Child labor decreased proportionately in .most of the sixty-eight cities of over 100.000 population, only Ax showing Increase in the proportion of boys, with three show, ing- increase in the proportion of Kirls. In the cities of 25.000 to 100. 000 population the proportion of working boys in 1920 was larger than in the cities of over 100,000. A comparison of the girls at work shows a smaller proportion in favor of the smaller cities. One of fie most significant decreases in child labor was In mines and quarries, in which category are included oil, gas and Ealt wells. From a total of 18.060 in 1910 the total dropped to 7.191 in 1920. Curiously enough, however, the number of girls in this category rose from "1 In 1910 to 106 in 1920, the increase being largely accounted for

by an increase of 70 working in

oal mines. The encouraging decreases in

child labor figures Dr. Edwards attributed in part to increased legal restrictions, more stringent compulsory school attendance laws and the better enforcement of these classes of laws. "It is probable, also," he wrote, "that the greater popular disapproval of child labor decreased the tendency to employ children."

1RMED "FOR" TEETH Chefs Vie to Produce Tasty Delicacies Cater to All Classes

By DAVID M. CHURCH. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LONDON, Oct. There is war in full progress on the Atlantic ocean. This is no war of guns but a war of buns. It's no mean war but a "menu war," a sort of "hors d'oeuvres combat." The fight for transatlantic passenger supremacy is the caua of this war to the knife and fork. The British and American shipping companies are striving to secure business and in their efforts they are making an appeal to the palate. Delicacies unsurpassed anywhere on land are now supplied on transatlantic liners, and any voyageur make exult in culinary glories equal to those of the best hotels on either side of th Atlantic. Unlucky is the poor passenger who suffers from mal-de-mar and has to resort to patent nostrums. The great menu war of the high seas concerns the Whit Star, Royal Mall. Cunard and United States lines as the leading: belligerents. The
