-THfLO LABOR LAWS
Os STATE DISCUSSED
Secretary of State McLendon Is
sues Pamphlet On
Subject
ATLANTA, Oct. 10. (By The As
sociated Press.) —A recent phamplet
published by the state giving ti e
laws of Georgia which apply to
child labor, including also opinions,
iulcs and regulations regarding
these laws, will be of interest of
Georgians to fully acquaint them
selves with the requirements of the
law.
Secretary of State S. G. McLen
don has, within the past few weeks,
■ received numerous inquiries from
all sections of the country, for full
information concerning the opera
tion of the Georgia law, and to meet
the requests, has had these require
ments printed, and sent them to the
mquirers.
The booklet is especially interest
ing in setting forth the law, in view
ci the fact that by two dissenting
votes, the recent Georgia General
Assembly adopted a resolution re
jecting the proposed child labor
amendment to the United States
constitution, which,. in brief, pro
posed to prohibit the employment
of children under sixteen years cf
age.
A widow is a woman whose hus
band is dead, in the opinion of the
Georgia law, but a man who leaves
or disappears from his home, “does
not leave his wife a widow.” The
same application holds true regard
ing a divorced woman, “or a wo
■ man living apart from her husband,”
is not to be considered a widow. It
must be clearly shown, according to
the law, that “the child of a widow
ed mother must aid in the support
of that mother.”
The act passed by the Georgia
General Assembly in 1910, provides
f- that “no child under the age of four
n teen years shall be employed by, or
i* permitted to work in or about, any
k mill, factory, laundry, manufactur
ing establishment, or place of aznuse
ment; except that children over
. twelve years of age, who have wid
rt owed mothers dependent upon them
< for support, or orphan children over
■ twelve years of age dependent upon
!- their own labor for support, may
■ work in factories and manufactories,
except that the foregoing provisions
[ specified and provided for in See-
Lt tion Eight, of this act,”
’’ The exceptions in Section 8, of.
H the act, are:
«■* “Be it further enacted by the
Y" authority aforesaid, that it shall be
h lawful for a child twelve years of
L age, or mote, to work in a mill, sac
s tory, laundry, manufacturing estab
lishment, or place of amusement, if
t such child has dependent, upon his

Cecil B. DeMille’s
“TRIUMPH”
With r?
Leatrice Joy, Rod Laßocque
The screen’s master-showman made it! The man
who created “The Ten Commandments” —who
|ras proved with every picture he ever made that
lie knows what you want and how to serve it to you.
And who gives you in “Triumph" a society love
drama which breaks all records for story-power,
gown display and eye-filling spectacle. Screenplay
by Jeanie Macpherson from the story by May Ed
ginton.
If you remember “Manslaughter and Male and
Female," remember “Triumph ’ is De Mille in the
same gorgeous vein. But not even De Mille ever
gave you a society romance so brilliantly told, so
elaborately filmed.
A rich man made poor, a poor man made rich,
a girl loved by both—De Mille moulds their chang
ing fortunes into his greatest triumph!
What is success? Wealth? Fame? Happiness?
Here's the story of a girl who achieved all three,
and found her biggest triumph in—?
The most gorgeous production ever made by the
director who is noted for his glittering spectacles,
lavish settings and ultra-modern gowns.
The heart-story of a girl who struggled for success,
won it and lost it, and finally found happiness in
the triumph of a great love.
The famous Saturday Evening Post story, filmed by
the director of “The Ten Commandments,” with the
same-lavishness and with the same stars.

“The factory itself, the supe>'in
