Mr.Guye Objects to Unaugo in ijauor Law Asueii by leacuers "Ordinarily, pubho officials are called upon to take aidt upon social ana economic questions coming within the scope of their official duties,- says Deputy Labor Commibsloner Ouye, "ut in so doing one cannot be expected to of ficiate without strong opposition, for the ruaaon thai you will not appear right to any If you do not soern wrong to many. 1 am no exception to this rule, and am therefore called upon to resist the pro posed action of the Nebraska Htaia Teach ers association, wherein tiial organisa tion preys for a change In the present culld labor law of this stale. At tha recent annual meeting of the NebiaKka mate Teachers' association It passed the following revolution: We believe that the provisions of our prevent child labor law, which torbiiu any child under the age of 14 yeaus from working al gainlul occupation during .he nine when the schools are not In ses sion, IS baneiul in lis effect, because It luikea the chl.u, during vauai.oi., to a ilte of ldiiiitBS on the streets and in the alley. 'vihlle I do not for one moment ques tion the motlvee prompting this action on tha part of our teachers, yet 1 do ques tion the advlnabllity of such a change In our present law. The child during vaca tion periods is a problem, dui ma ciuia below the age of 14 years la not as great problem during those periods of idle ness aa those above this agV The mother can more readily keep tab on those bolow 14 than those above, and the bad associa tions will be of greater damage to those above than to those bulow. P.y all means give the Jobs to those above the ages of 14 years and under no circumstances permit a change In the present law. "Were I simply to criticise, confess that the Idle child Is a problem without offer ing a remedy, would be exceedingly un fair to those crltlulxed and to myself as well. Hence I submit to the Nebraska State Teachers' annotation what I con sider a proper remedy for the 'life and Idleness on the street and In the alley' for our children under the age of 14 years. I propose that we secure all the Idle, va cant or unoccupied town or city lots. That we organise the children below the age of 14 years Into clubs for the pur pose of planting and cultivating such lots. That prizes be given in addition to the entire results of the labors of tboBc children. That the teachers, aldod by the mothers, superintend and direct their eforts." Women Guests of Palimpsest Club to Hear Dickens' Son Invitations are out for a dinner to be given at the Rome on the evening of December 11 by the Palimpsest club In honor of Alfred Tennyson Dickens, on of Charles Dickons, who will address the club on "My Father's Life and Works." Contrary to the usual custom of the club, women are Invited. . The dinner will be held at T o'clock and will be preceded by a reception at t.30 o'clock. OYSTER PURITY HELPED BY USE OF SEALED CANS There la probably no food product on the market toduy that needs as much care In handling and a much attention tn ua hvirtenta condition a the oyster. Yet vast sums of money have been spent on different advertlalnb scheme for the marketing of this product In various ways that have not wholly satisfied the discriminating housewife from a sanitary standpoint. As tho Ladles' Home Journal of Sep tember S. remarked: "The certified oyster la bound to come sooner or later, The great danger under existing method seems to be curc!esanea on the part of the dealer In not keeping the display cases or containers In a sanitary oondl tion and the fact that no matter what care le ued In the shipment of oysters, the unscrupulous dealer still ha the ! ))., r. t m.rinir tits slocle flltn K ' . " . . . oaca upon any oiner niouo ui auuuers tton. It seems, therefore, that ultimately the oyster must reach the consumer un der an Individual teal to guarantee per fection," This takes the handling of oysters back to Its original starting point as no doubt every one remembers the days In which they secured their oyster supply only In the small square cans. Firms who have spent vast sums of money In the adver tlslng of the solid packed oysters are realising that the oyster must be sold In original container guaranteed to the cousuiner to give the satisfaction de manded by the average American house wife In thl age of pure food lawa The United States has rules In several very Important features In the oyster Industry. Out the fact remains that contamination and adulteration can be elmlnaled only by the guarantee of some reputable firm that the oyster that enters the kitchen is packed in a sterilised hyglenlo recep tacle sealed by them, to be opened by the customer and with the Interference of nw middle bias. - -, n : If tourt;t shr t '-p-ee?

Uesldes the business ses sions that have been arranged for an unusually good program of amusement has been prepared. Omaha Is the headquarter for the. Ne braska and Iowa Hotel Clerks' associa tion, and almost all of the officers are connected with local hotels. For this reason, as well as for the reason that tnls city affords better opportunities foi conventions than any other place In either state, Omaha has boen made tue perma nent convention city of the organisation. The association was first organised in V.KH. when five chief clerks -of Omaha hotels answered a call from Colonel Wil liam Anderson of the Rome. Mr. Ander son was made president, F. B. Pates secretary ahd Joe Keenan treaaurer. It was one of the first hotel men's associa tions In the United States, and Its mem bership grew by leaps .and bounds. To day 20 names are Inscribed on the roster and the secretary has the names of sev eral score of applicants. The present officers of the association are: President, Charles W. Miller, Hotel Loyal, Omaha; first vice president, Jo seph McCaffery, SchllU hotel, Omaha, second vice president, J. P. McLarty, Went hotel, Bloux City; third vice presi dent, J. W.

Btockman of Omaha, Howard l)e laney of Omaha, J. D. 8eater of Fort Lodge, la.; F. J. Walton of Lincoln. The purposes of the organization are to promote efficiency among the clerks, to Bee that the efflnjent member secure good positions, to see that the hotel get goou clerks, to discourage thieves who prey upon hotel and to bring all reput able clerks tosrether for the promotion or good fellowship. Throifch the efforts of the present secretary, A. W. Gird, the association ha reached the prominence (t has, and now it 1 One of the strongest hotel men' association In the United State. It 1 affiliated with the Greeters of America and the Nebraska and Iowa association held the first charter Issued by the Oreoters. It also holds the first membership card.

Membei of the Board of County Com missioner are In doubt as to the validity of the claim.
