She told her It waa marvelous, but that she lacked In foundation work, that ahe needed understanding of what was to bs Hone and knowledge of how to do what ever ahe wished with the voice In ordr to control every shade and Inflection. In fact the fine singer waa ao charmed with the possibilities of the wonderful organ that ahe offered to give the girl extra les sona free and that when ahe waa ready ehe would take her eaat herself and put hr foot safely upon the high road to fame.

C., to discuss matters or in terest to little boyg and girls all over the country who are being abused and robbed of their childhood by be'ng permitted to work in mines, canneries and factories. Long hours they spend in ;mill and factory, from early to late, jfar as health and surroundings are Safeguarding American childhood will be discussed and problems of child labor studied. We Nebraskans are fortunate ia being spared the harrowing sight of children of the tender ages of our own Busy Bees working In factories or mines, their childhood devoid of all the pleasant hours which are the birth right of children. This Is because Nebraska has an excellent child labor law. Our Busy Bees should be thankful that they do not lire under such conditions ss tneir lew fortunate sisters and brothers. If there is any thing the parents of Busy Bees can do to urge the passage of a national child labor law it should be done. i Two letters this week should be of especial Interest to the Busy Bees. One is a Joint letter from twins, Fredrick and Francis Barnard, and the other is a letter from Gcnene Noble, whose brother said on the Ford peace ship.
