Ohio Codifies Child Welfare Laws, but I j No Other State Does. If any one asks what the laws affecting children are in Xew York state no person in any position can without , considerable research answer the quesj tion. according to a statement made by Homer Folks at the Eleventh Annual Conference on Child Labor. The only state in the Union where it could be readily answered is Ohio, since Ohio is the only state that has codified its child welfare laws. A committee appointed last May at ' the National Conference of Charities *nd Corrections, with C. C. Carstens ! of Boston at its head and Edward N. | Clopper of the National Child Labor Committee as one of its most active ! members, is now at work drafting a ' children's charter that would show ' how all laws relating to children , I should be co-ordinated and that could be adopted as a whole or in part ac- j , cording to the needs of the individual ! ' state. ! The benefits of the children's charter will not be confined to a clearing up of the principles on which the various organizations and committees which are interested in the needs and rights of childhood should base their work. In ' i fact, the friends of the charter are in-' clined to believe that its greatest value may lie in the simple fact that it will | encourage co-operation. The drafting of the charter, which will be in itself q prt-nnomtivp pffort.. will teach work-, ( ~ ers in the various fields to think of , their work as a part of a larger whole. | The relation, for instance, between : [ the school attendance officer, the fac- i ! tory inspector, the juvenile court work-! | er and the administrator of mothers' j j pensions will become a practical help ! , to each of them. For the child such j co-operation all along the line should : j mean that the care that is now availa- ' j ble for the child who happens to come 1 | under the eye of the official or social 1 ! worker who is fitted to meet his case, ! will be extended to a larger proportion ^ of those who need it. SOMETHING ABOUT SHRAP>EL J The Most Murderous of All Artillery ; | Ammunition. ! V How much coDDer is used in the; manufacture of shrapnel? How much ' steel? What other metals? What is j the cost. These are the questions' Wall street is asking. Expressed in the language of Wall; street, shrapnel is costing European j countries now at war about $18 each on the firing line. Manufacturers in t)Ms country and Canada are getting from $15 to more than $18 for each shell, the additional expense to the foreign contracts being cost of transportation and, in certain instances, j filling the cartridge case with powder j | aDroaa, From the point of view of engineers,! shrapnel, one of the most effective agencies for tine destruction of human life yet devised, is an extremely com-' plex mechanism, its complexity being j shown 'by the sub-contracting of the order received by the Canadian Car and Foundry company among 50 conTTnitoH Statps and Canada. I VCl HO ill tut- UAiivvu ^ ww*. ^ ??w. The company's order called for 5,000,-; 000 shrapnel, at an approximate cost j of $83,000,000, or $16.35 each. Close to 20,000,000 pounds of copper are being used in their manufacture, or about four pounds to eadh shrapnel. The complete shrapnel is composed of three principal parts: The time fuse, the projectile proper, a hollow steel shell filled with bullets, and a bursting charge of black powder; and a brass cartridge -case filled with! smokeless powder to sl'.oot the pro-; jectile from the gun. This brass cart- . ridge case is similar to the shell of an ordinary rifle or revolver cartridge.

Under the authority of the British war office, it is announced, arrangements have just been completed for taking a complete moving picture record of the war in the British lines, bottn at the front and along the lines of communication. The leading film producers and exnit)itors, it is said, have been brought into a cooperative , scheme so that no single firm shall have a monopoly of the pictures. One complete set of t)he films will b? reta'ned by the war office for historical records and instruction. This eventually will be placei in the British museum. The board of education is expected to co-operate in a scheme for the use of the films in the public schools. 4
