Discusses Child Labor Question:
Ably Before Social Study
Club of Anniston,
ANNISTON, ALA., Dec. 13.—Thom
as Scott Roberts, secretary-treasurer
of the Adelaide Cotton Mills of this
city and a member of the child labor
committee of the Alabama Cotton
Mills Association, made a strong ar
gument in defenr; of the mill owners
In an address before the Euphian
Club, a local association for the study
of sociological and economic ques
tions.
Referring to the disparaging com
parison recently made with reference
to the child labor situation in Ala
bama and Massachusetts, to the dis
credit of Alabama, Mr. Roberts said
that the difference would be equalized
if it was understood that there is a
considerable difference in the business
of the two States. Massachusetts, he
said, now is turning out the finished
product, and lost of its operatives
are thereby weavers, while Alabama
is manufacturing the crude product,
which calls for child spinners.
Quotes Federal Report.
The speaker quoted t length from
the book of Major Thom Robinson
Dorman, compiled from his report to
the national Government, and also
quoted from tl.C report of Dr. W. H.
Oates, State Mill and Prison Inspec
tor, to the effect that the condition
of the chilu-^n working in the mills,
rule, is better than that from
which they came. He also quoted Dr.
Oates as saying that thj Alabama law
is full of loopholes, but that there
have been but two cases for violation
of the law In this State, “r condition
which can not be applied to any othor
law on the statutes,” he said.
Mr. Roberts also denied that the
work in t..e mills is injurious to the
health of the workers, citing a recent
statement to the effect that the lint in
the mills has a tendency to prevent
the spread of tuberculosis instead of
contributing to that disease.
Favors Physical Test.
He favors a physical test as well
as an age limit for the regulation o!
child labor and special training in thia
work in the event Alabama adopts
compulsory education.
At a '-’^r date Mrs. Murdock, of
Birmingham, will bo Invited to ad
dress the club in regard to the efforts
that ai% being made to improve Ala
bama’s child labor law and to make
the law apply to other institutions as
strongly as it applies to cottpn m!!!;

Sulzberger Thinks They Would Be
in Danger of Deportation
as Weak Minded.
NEW YORK, Deo. 13.—Opening :>
conference on immigration before
the People's Institute at Cooper Union
Cyrus L. Sulzberger amused the big
audience with stories of j*ome of the
reasons given by the Ellis Island au
thorities for deporting newly arrived
aliens. Eugenics, said Mr. Sulzber
ger, was one of the strong arguments
of the immigration restrietionlst.
“A Russian woman arriving on Oc
tober 8,” ke said, “was certified to as
feeble-minded at Ellis Island and or
dered deported. She was examined by
a physician at Bellevue, who declared
she was not feeble-minded at all.
"Then the Federal inspectors exam
ined her again and said that while
she was perfectly sane she seemed to
be weak in her abstract conceptions.
“They said that she had no idea,
although she w r as a seamstress, of
what a yard or an inch weTe, forget
ting that oujtside of this country and
England the terms are never used.
“Another woman, 48 years old, was
given a jigsaw puzzle to put together
She worked over It for awhile and
then said: ’This is for children; let
me bake or cook to show what I can
do.’ She wae pronounced feeble
minded. Then the decision was re
versed and finally she was admitted.
“A man w'as asked: 'If a man
should offer to give you all the money
you wanted what day in the week
would you select for the gift?* Here
w’as the answer, ‘Why should a
strange man give me money?*
“That strikes me os being a pretty
pertinent reply. Still another man
was asked.
“ ‘Does God speak to you?* and the
answer—a noteworthy one. to my
mind—was this: ‘I am not worthy
that God should speak to me.’
"It seems to me that if Moses or
Isaiah or Jesus or Mohamet should j
come to Ellis Island they would be !
likely to be deported as feeble- j
minded.
“There was an Irishman who came
to the island and was asked how
many legs a horse has. ‘Eight,’ he
replied. ‘One at each corner and two
on each side.’
“‘Don’t you think that is a foolish
answer?’ he was asked.
“The Irishman replied with more
wisdom than is shown by the United
States officials when he said: ‘A foul
question deserves a fool answer. ’ ”
Louis R. Marshall, speaking on
“What the Immigrant Brings to Us.”
made an eloquent plea for the immi
grant, who, he said, brought new
strength to the country.
PIEDMONT, ALA., Dec. 13.—Pearl
Ha use, who was reported to have shot
accidentally Robert Cash Moore,
keeper of a shooting gallery, in a for
mal statement declares the rifle was
in the man’s own hands at the time
of the tragedy.
Bhe explains: "The gun was not
even In my hands, for he (Mr. Moore)
had told me that my time was up,
and that was all. Forgetting that I
w T as due another gun, I turned to my
sister and exclaimed, ‘Oh, if I only
had another one,’ thinking that if I
did that I could shoot dow’n as many
birds as she had. Mr. Moore turned,
and, handing Baxter Formby a gun
with his right hand, reached with his
left hand and took my gun. Being
somewhat taller than I, he pulled it
straight to his head. When he took
hold of my gun I turned it loose an 1
dropped my hands to my side. As I
did so, the stock of the gun fell, hit
the board and was discharged. Then
the boy fell. So I must state that the
poor boy innocently and accidentally
shot himself with his own hands. The
eyewitnesses can and will verify my
statement.”

HE value to the buyer rests not upon what
a thing costs, but upon what it is Worth.
No specific rule can be made for the
buyer s guidance in the purchase of Pre
cious Stone Jewelry.
The least shade of color, touch of imperfec
tion or lack of proportion influences the value so
greatly that only an expert can fix the value.
The fundamental feature of the Harry L. Dix,
Inc., business, as we have outlined it, and which
We steadfastly maintain, is this—
That a man need not be able to know a
good piece of goods from a poor one, or a genu
ine stone from an imitation, that he shall be of
fered choice only from the best at a plainly
marked price of real value.
That he shall have the unreserved war
ranty of the Dix Corporation with any purchase
he may make, that his decision shall be made
easy by confining it, if the purchaser so desires,
to style and design, matters of taste not requiring
technical knowledge.
