I I fNO CHILDREN IM THE MINES. I California Eliminates Children Under Sixteen Irrom Mines and Quarries. Among the new limits established by the California ehilil labor luw'Uf r.)15 Is a sixteen year limit for mines and quarries. California has mining prodV ucts valued , at more than $03,000,000. to the 1010 census, but she I has wver before set an age limit for I the children who might be employed 1/ in their production. I J Now that a sixieen year limit has ft been adopted uo fourteen or fifteen ^ old trapper boys will be found among the victims of an explosion, as r.? tvns the ease In West Virginia last | \ year, nor will their thoughtlessness l?e 1 Vthe cause of disasters in which others Wire killed, as It sometimes Is where j / boys under sixteen are permitted to work In mines. Mining has the highest fatal accident ' rale of any Industry, but quarrying Is j not ijgr liebind.

B| California's action is regarded as B particularly significant by the National Child Labor Committee in view of ttie B "law of recurrence" which Dr. Felix Adler spoke about at the Eleventh An B nunl Conferonee on Child Labor. Dr. B^Adler said that the evils of child labor ^^0flad followed industrial development ^0' from England to New York and MasB sachusetts. from there to the south B and from the south would go to the ^0 west unless the west prevented it by ^0 enacting child labor laws in advance. ^0 Child labor in the mines will not "re "Vnr" in California.

B. a % THE HOBBY HEBi | GE As t?.e Ui k .d Stales is now at war with vjci'i.Uiiiy perhaps our leaders would iihe to know something of German history. It is probable that *he Gonna.dc race came into Europe from northern Asia. About the first that history tells of the Germans is . hen the Ro. ans, in extending their empire, came into contact with them. For some time Caesar ai d the other Roman generals won victories over I the German tribes on the Roman frontiers, ai.d Roman rule wax t>v tended beyond the Rhine and even to the Elbe. In early timn* the Germans were broken up into numerous tribes, each ( fighting for existence and supremacy. Pliny mentions 68 of these tribes, and at a later date as many as 3C0 were enumerated. The German "Herman," led a revolt against the Roman invaders, aud defeated them. This was about the time Christ was bom. These early Germans conqureed not only Italy but also France and Spain, and even established their colonies in northern Africa. For a long time after that the history of Germany is almost a blank. The Germans had evidently weakened themselves by these conquests and by the emigration of their strongest members, and it took them centuries to recover. They were divided by internal strife, and were conquered by Charlemagne, the great French warrior, in the ninth century. That great ruler forced them to adopt Christianity in place of the pagan religion, which they had evidently brought with them from Asia. Finally the French power waneu, and Germany, which had for some time been a part of Fin nee, cut loose and began to assert herself. Early in the tenth century Duke Henry of Saxony, as the leader of the German tribes, seized Lorraine from France. This is interesting because that province has passed back and forth be twcon the two countries and it has re mained a bone of contention between them for a thousand years. If the Allies win in the present war. it will no doubt be demanded back again by France. Henry also extended the German domain by conquering parts of Bohemia, Hungary, Denmark, and other border lands. He was succeeded by Otto the Great, who extended the conquests to Italy. Frederick the Redbeard, rose to the German leadership in the 12th century, won great fame as a fighter, especially by his triumps in Italy. He and his successors carried the ( German arms clear into Sicily an * established a kingdom in that island. Al>out the year 1800, the Germans having no real head as a nation, and Aus ria being a part of Germany, then became dominant and remained s> for several centuries. Rudolf of Austria, was chosen emperor and he used drastic measures to break up the , separate German tribes and unite , them into a single power. Switzerland was at that time a part of the ( Austrian domain, but the Swiss re- , belled early in the 14th century and j won their independence which they , bave maintained. < Under Charles V, who also ruled , over Spain, the German power in the ldth century was developed in a brilliant way, in wars and otherwise, but Germany at that time had to ' surrender to France the important frontier fortress cities of Metz and Verdun. The Germans recovered VIof T OO n vrvoi' 14- " ^ X 1- T"* ...wu uo ci i couit i nit? rriinco-nussian war of 1870, but have never ^ been able to recapture Verdun. ( It was Frederick II of Prussia, ( better known as Fi'C.ieriek the Great, . < who, during- a reign of nearly fifty , years, laid the foundations for the fu- , tare development of Germany as a first rate power. He wrested Silesia . from Austria, and annexed Francon;n Pomerania and other territories.

HISTORY "I tria, a ho had for centuries exercised a dominant influence over German affairs. In l<S(>d Prussia took the Danish provinces for herself and made war on her o'd aily, Austua. This j>vas the Seven weeks war. Ti.is war, though very short, was about the most important vkrma. y e\er fought. It put an end to Au trian domination and took from Austria a considerable amount of territory and J placed Prussia indisputedly at the; head of German affairs. The next great event was the Franco-Prussian war, three yea s later. Prussia did France up in even less time than she had taken to defeat Austria, and in six weeks the issue was decided. France was crushed, and ceded Alsace and part of Lorraine to the Germans and paid them an indemnity of a billion dollars. These operations paved the way for the union of the German states into the present German empire. Prussia had long been the leading' spirit in German and had organized ' the north German states iTito a cou- ( federation. She had the help of the states in being formally united. K-ng I William I, of Prussia as. unied title ! of German emperor by vote of the German states. After about seventeen years, William I, died in 1888,1 then after a reign of three months by J Frederick III, the present ruler, Kaiser Wilhehn II, ascended the throne. The first notable act of the Kaiser was to kick out of office the chancellor Bismark, who had been the leading spirit in the great regeneration of united Germany, and who had done so much for his country's welfare and bulit up Germany' colonies. As soon as the Kaiser kicked Bismark out, and began to be assisted by new and more reckless leaders tilings started perceptibly on the down grade. Whether the Kaiser is really a partial maniac, as has so often' been said, or not. he kept making indiscreet "breaks" which laid up trouble for himself both at home and abroad. He insisted at all times that he was the direct representative of the Almighty?the vicar of God, therefore could make no mistakes nor could do at any time any wrong. Not all the leading people in Germany had gone mad, however, and the emperor kept getting warnings to amend his policies. Once or twice the German congress or reichstag itself took action reminding him of his indiscretions. The indiscreet actions of the Kaiser caused the estrangement of their ally, Italy, who has joined the "Entente." The gr^at German general Marshal von Moltke, who had won the war with Denmark in 1864, the war with Austria in 1806 and the war with France in IS70, told the war-lords that they were pointed wrong but they heeded him not. Von Moltke had warneod the Berlin leaders that the militaristic policy, if permittted to lominate, would be the ruination of ' Germany or any other country, that X would inevitably lead to war, ho said. He prophetically declared, 'Woe be to the power that sets Euro < ? on fl rr* The German war-lords have led the German people into a great and dis- ' istrous war, but they are unable to lead them out, although they told their people that the war would be all )ver in a few weeks from the start, just as that with Austria was in 1866, and that with France was in : 1870. Peace terms which will give Germany valuable concessions would ie dictated in Paris and in Petrograd, ill by striking hard her neighbors jinawares. But the scheme did not work this time as we shall see. ?E. V.

The army of cattle ticks is to be cut in half this year and a wedge ot* tick-free territory driven through the infested area to the Gulf of Mexico. By the end of 1917 it is expected that the entire State of Mississippi will be released from quarantine and a broad high road opened for the unrestricted shipment of cattle to outside markets. The effect of this upon the whole campaign for the total elimination of the pest throughout the South is expected to be great. In order to secure for the newly freed counties the full benefits of eradication, it has always been the policy to plan, as far as possible, the release from quarantine so that cattle may be brought in and out without passing through ticky country. The new Mississippi law, however, requiring aff tick-infested, counties to begin eradication work, enables this policy to be carried out on a larger scale than ever before. Not only will the tick cease to exist for the people of Mississippi, but the results that invariably follow its disappearance will prove a stimulating object lesson for neighboring areas that may still he infested. These results are too apparent for even the most prejudiced to ignore. For one thing the average value of cattle increases, at once and almost automatically, to an extent which makes the cost of dipping negligible. As to the exact amount of this increase opinions vary. Recently a large number of farmers in freed areas were risked * !%?%!.. ?- -- . ?v & . t v men opinions on this point, and the average ot' choir replies was $9.25 a head. This, however, the Federal authorities believe to be a little high for a conservative estimate for the entire South, and they have fixed on $7.50 as a , safer figure for general use. The increase varies of course in different localities and in Alabama, for example, it has been placed at $8. On this basis, in the 28 counties which have already been freed in that State the cattle are now worth $5,000,000 more than in the old days. Since the cost of eradication is insignificant in comparison, it's obvious that dipping vats are an investment which re.ur.is liberal dividends. That these dividends are real, not theoretical, is indicated by a corresponding rise in land values. In one Mississippi county the local authorities were not at first convinced that the eradication of the tick actually had put money into the pockets of the people. An investigation showed that the coming of the boll weevil And the consequent falling off in the ;otton crop had greatly depressed farm values. After the tick had been eliminated the increased profits from ivc stock were sufficient to restore r,o price of land to its former level. The farmers of Mississippi have lot been slow to realize the new opportunity. Fifty-one counties in the State are now free from ticks. n?.? nto those a large number of puro>red animals t'or breeding purposes lave been brought. Both the grand hampion international bull and the *rand champion international junior reifer are owned in the State, and ortek Viississippi herd has won more prize nonev than any other herd of the tame breed. Not every farmer, of lourse, can go in for stock of this haractor, but the improvement in the cencral run of cattle is very marked. \s long as the t'ck remained, little or i(, progress was possible because of he susceptibility of imported breeding -lock to the fever conveyed by he tick.
