.The Charity Ball
There is nothing finer in this
world than ’unselfishly helping a
worthy cause and when that worthy
cause is the betterment of one's own
city—ones own home town—it
should have the support of every
and woman. The Charity Ball
is one of those good causes.
in the pleasure of attending this
ball few think of the work done. not
for pay remember. by the various
committees. whose members give up
their time for weeks in advance so
that the residents of Norwalk can
have an enjoyable evening and so
that. the nurses of the Norwalk hos-
hospital—can have a
home that will be a. comfort to
1beln while they are performing the
ninth: of giving aid to our residents.

the good time to be had by those at-
tending for the past has proved that
what is interest to all of us is that
every one should "chip in" and buy
a ticket for the Charity Ball and in
that way help the nurses' home.
Go to the Charity Ball if you can

Child Labor
By EbWARD NELSON DINGLEY
\VASHINGTON. D. C.——Following
is the proposed anti-child labor
amendment to the Constitution:
“The Congress shall have power
to limit. regulate and prohibit the
labor of persons under 18 years of
age."
In December, 1906,the first pro-
posal for a. federal law to prevent
the industrial exploitation of chil-
dren was made in Congress. Al-
most ten years later, September 1.
1916, the first federal child labor
law was enacted. Under the power
to regulate interstate and foreign
commerce. Congress sought to close
the channels of trade to the prod-
ucts of child labor. June 3. 1918. the
Supreme Court declared the law un-
constitutional. The test came up
from North Carolina. ~
February 24, 1918. as an amend-
ment to the revenue act of 1918.
Congress provided a tax of ten per
cent. on.the annual net profits of
certain enumerated establishments
which employed children.
May 15. 1922. the Supreme Court
declared that was not a. valid ex-
ercise of the right of Congress to
lay and collect taxes.
The proposed constitu
amendment. if adopted. will ,’
cifically give Congress the po or

labor of. person. under 18 years of

number of working children be-
tween 1‘ and to years at age has in-

the number-is over 2.000.000.

AN IRISHMANS IDEAS
"Life shapes itself out somehow;
everyone adapts himself to circum-
stances somehow." A conventional
observation. Most any one could
have said it. Yet the mind of
George Moore. the man who wrote
it, is no common one.
Here. are some of his ideas:
Birth. the commencement of
occurrences. DDVCI‘ 008.32- to
the most wonderful.
VVhon we change

friends are only the
our ideas.
Christianity was born in the am-
phitheatre and did not leave it with-
out acquiring a lust for blood.
God is a great expense. but gov-
ernmcnt would be impossible with-
out Him:

In Paris. Naturally he deprecates

Every man’s Conscience is his own
law and he must act accordingly.
\Ve are so constituted that we de-
mand outward signs of our emotions
especially of grief: we are doubtful
of its genulncness unless it s accom-
panied by sighs and tears.
As soon as we reach the age of
reflection the thought 0 f death is
never long out of our minds.
Instinct is a surer gulde than lo-
gic.
There are men who would die

there are men who would choose

how can chastlly be imposed upon
all men?

George Moore is living, an Irish~
man who had to leave Ireland to
“he himself." The Irish have much
more in cdmmon with the French
lhan with the English: and it was
easy for Moore to become French
in spirit when he educated himself

the mere portrayal of manners. facts
and customs in fiction, and insists
on the need of passion and moral

“AMERICA SOON MAY RULE
THE “'ORLD,” SAYS
RUSSELL.
America will soon rule the world,
with Europe and Asia. as subject
provinces. Bo believes Bertrand
Russell. British philosopher, mathe-
matician. socialist and brother of an
earl. Russell is now visiting and
lecturing in the United States.
"That is what I think will hap-
pen. not what I would like." he
says. .
The one immediate thing the
United States can do to help Europe,
Russell thinks. is to ask the French
to pay their debt to us.
"If they pay it they will be iln-
ancially crippled." he said. "If
they don't it will damage their in-
ternatllonal credit. Either way it
will check France's mounting arms.-
meats, which are menacing Europe.
"This is what I mean by the fu-
ture world dominance of the United
States. It can today conceivably
make Erance a subject province.
Since the United States wants to
lend money and all other countries
want to borrow, eventually Europe
and Asia must become economically
