I UNITED STATES
Government's Demand Upon Producers Increasing Substitutes Should be Used.
PETROGRAD CONTINUES TO BE RUSS CAPITAL
PFTROin.T. Sept. 1. Members of the provisional government who have just returned from Moscow where thev attended the extraordinary national ui mil. declared to.Iay that this eity would continue as the national capital. They vigorously oppose the idea of transferring the apital ti Moscow unless such a moe is dictated by the strjetet necessity. The three Li:: tasks outlined by Premier Kercnsky as the chief features of the reconstruction program are: (1) The army must be strengthened : (2) The war must continue on Russia's part until all the allies a;rree to peace; (.!) Immediate steps are necessary to effect a reconciliation between the different clashes and to end the inter-party political strife.

A eensi's of tin plate production as compared with mill obligations, just completed by the bureau of forciert and domestic commerce, brings out tome very interesting facts in connection with the shortage of tin plate throughout the world at the present time. Returns received from 1 ." of the leading tin plate producers of the country indicate an increase of approximately 2." percent in the domestic production of tin plate this year over last year, the returns for this year hein; actual for the nrst half and estimated for the second half. The amount of this year's production for export is about onetenth of the total production. Practically all of the plate that can be produced this year and the first couple of months of 1IHS has already been contracted for to be delivered during this year. The actual figures, in terms of base boxes are as follows: Prodia tion :
creasing the allotments of the tin plate producers, thereby resulting in a diminished pioduction of tin plate. It is understood that the utilisation of fiber and paper cans as substitutes for the ordinary Un tans has been suite successful, and that our Kuropean allies are considering their aailahility to meet the shortaee in tho.-e countries.

Dun's weekly review of f'hicaco trade, published taday by R. c;. pln & Co.. says: The month closed with business generally runninff steady, discount a tH.'Ie firmer, failures lower, and payments through the banks ' showing an improved weekly ptrcentase pain The price fixing at Washington thus far determined has removed some of the uncertainty, but there is yet repression in new demands in the principal manufactures. alth uh no appreher.sions felt that pric control will hinder progress in the leading activities. The hesitation promises to cease soon. "Basic conditions develop no weakness in prospects of the industries and. despite shrinkage in iron and steel contracts from normal buyers, there is a consideral.de flow of commitments and many inquiries. Operations in most branches suffer no diminution aside- from that due to scarcity of materials and witndrawal of labor forces- for military d uties. "It i now fully realized that there is plenty of work for the available capacity in this district, forward bookings continuing to advance farther ahead and in some instances assuring busy times for variojs interct.s throughout this and next yea-. do erninental needs obtain more importance in urgent production fron their increasing size and variety. Their priority in outputs Is not altogether possible without impincin' upon shipments or. civilian account: in fact, there never was a time heretofore which made a dose comparison to the existing pressure or to the apriireqate volume of crude and finished supplies shipped from the local furnaces, rolling mills, nnd factories."

Excuses From Attendance are Called Short-sighted and Harmful Patriotism.

In rural feciions of the country, farmwork Is the mos active nnd Inveterate enemy of school attendance, according to the August number of the child labor haiietin which is devoted mainly to a discussion of the effect of farmwork on school attendance in times both of peace and war. The fir-t study was made in Oklahoma hi;t year and was completed before the United states en. terej the war. It is part of the broad survey of the employment ol" children on farms the National Child Uabor ommittee is ma!;in and is respresontative of conditions existing in normal times. It was fciuul in Oklahoma that farmwork was responsible icr more absences from .-chool than all other causes combined 7,121 days of absence bein attributed to it and only 44,1 4 days to illness, the next largest group. "This shows how serious a factor labor is in t'ie l icak'r.i down of rural school attendance," says the report, 'especially a sä the total of days absent is much more than a third of the total days present." The result rf absence due to farmwork is shown most clearly in he tiquies tor retardation -t iven in the report. Fifty -ore per cent of the farmworkers, are le'rind ia thei: grades, while 'ess than :.'." per cent of those absent because of ill
ness, distance, ami were retarded ami cent of these who
larly. "When in connection with the fact that farmworkers progress most slowly it is lemembeied that they lose more school time than all the other trroups combined, we arc confronted by a relation showing a logical sequence." says the report. "Children can not do good school work unless they atenri resularly and the oftenor they are absent the lower their standing will be.' Strong l-ivv Needed. To meet the situation the report recommends that t lie compulsory education law be strengthened by making it apply to the entire term

ins: e ad of to only two-thirds of it. as ii the case at present, and that a larger unit of cy.-.aniation than ;he local district be adopted as it is impos:, !e to have the law enforced whe:-e Mial officials have to prosecute their own r.ci-hbors if they make any attempt to enforce it. The tendency of war to a-travae the conditions found in normal time.--
! Is broucht out in an ther article um
"The Child's Pait in Food Prdcotion." based on an pioi'iry i;:to the.
f-xteni to wnicn cni.aicn nae i te-i excused from school to eiraze in aricultute as a patriotic s r ice. Muc'.i was said last .-prim; of the necessity for usinc sc hool hildren to solve the farm labor problem and many school superintendents acted at once on the su-estion. "There can be no question r-f the patriotic motives that led the state superintendents of education to advise local officials to excuse children from school for farmwork." says the repord. "but there is very mave question whether the action taken by those oMicials was not shortsighted patriotism which will do the country more harm than pood.'" Xo Inquiry Made. In most of the states investigated by the committee.it was found that children were permitte! to leave without any preliminary inquiry into tre need lor their services, investigation of the places they were to work, provision for keeping track of them to know how many had loft and where they were, or physical examination of those who left to see that they were strong enough to do farm Aork. As a result few superintendents of education had any idea how many children were excused, where they were, how much they were paid. what conditions they were living under, or whether they would ever return to school. The report points out that if the school rdficials are permitted to join with the farmer in putting crops before school attendance without any attempt to safeguard the children, conditions found to exist in normal times will be greatly aggravated and at the end of the war the younger generation on whom will fall the burden of carrying on the work of the country will be handicapped by lack of suflicient education and premature labor. In England it was found that wherever adequate wages were offered there were enough adults available to mske it unnecessary to use young children on the farms.
