CHILDREN OF ENGLAND IN WAGE SLAVERY National News Mates Startling Ac cusution That Thousands of Chil dren of Tender Age Are Being Ex ploited by British Industries. London. Dec. 3.-The appalling scandal of child slavery in Grea Britain, as unearthed by the National News, which has continued its investi gation reveals that 1,500.000 British children under 16 years old are em ployed in and exploited by industry. Thousands of these child victims who are stunted in body and mind and whose future is hopelessly handi capped, are but 7 or 8 years old and work 50 hours a week for less than $1. in Birmingham, for instance, there are 9 000 child wage victims; in Kent, where the beer hops grows, there are several thousands. During 1917 there were 14,000 children employed at night in munition shops. The National News maintains that the children's work is unnecessary, that the monetary gain is far more than offset by the evil effects of child labor, and that the practice of employ ing child labor in dangerous and un necessary tasks is widely prevalent and a national disgrace.

C., Dec. 3—Volun tary emigration of the Negroes of this country to the former German col onies in Africa, where they would have a greater opportunity than in this country but would still remain under the American flag, is believed by Senator Joseph I.

NICKELS TO FLIVVERS (Dr. Burris Jenkins in Kansas City Post.) Here is a news dispatch sent to The Post by J. W. Pattee, who serves The Post as correspondent at Smith Center, Kas.—that is, Mr. Pattee Bent k as a news dispatch, but concealed between its lines there is such a won derful text for a sermon on thrift that the contribution is being borrowed from the news department. But— You're beginning to wonder what Ibis is all about, anyway, so go ‘ahead and read: “Smith Center, Kas , Oct. 17.—When the government first began making nickels with buffalo beads on one side, Mrs. G. P. Khly of Mankato, Kas . started saving every buffalo nickel that came into her possession. She made a practice Of dropping such nickels into a chute that ran from her kitchen to a wooden box in the cellar. A few days ago she took an Invoice and found that she had 14,00(1 coins, aggregating $700. Her husband had long pined for a “flivver.” Now he’s got the "flivver." Isn't that an impressive demonstm tion of the value of saving small things? Doesn't it prove how easy it is for u to save money if we try? Just figure, for a minute, what the result would have been if dimes had been used instead of nickels, or quar ters instead of dimes! Moreover, while v e are about it. let’s estimate how nsany, many nickels, dimes and quarters we turn loose without get j ting anything tangible to show where | the money went. Remember now, it hasn't been so very many years since the first buf falo nickel was coined, and further more, hear in mind that the Kansas woman who amassed $700 worth of nickels did not handle mv large ag ; gregate of money from which to ex j tract her small coin savings. It all goes to show that we fritter | away more money each year than we j are aware of. unless we stop and j take invoice of ourselves and our re i sources, and it further impresses up on uh the truth of the old saying that it isn't so much what we make, as what we save that counts. We were taught thrift during the j war. Now that the war is over, sup pose we practice what we learned I about thrift, and let's extract a lesson from the example set us by the Kan sas woman.
