Thousands of these child victims, who are stunt- ed in body and mind and whose fu- ture is hopelessly handicapped, are but seven or eight years old and work for fifty hours a week for 'less than one dollar. Employment of children is pre- valent not only in the North of Eng- land, according to the National News, were 14,000 but is general to the whole country. In Birmingham, for instance, there are 9,000 child wage victims; in Kent, where the beer hops grow, there are several thousands. During 1917 there 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 employing child labor in dangerous and unnecessary tasks is widely pre- valent and a national disgrace. The National Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children points out that the new educational acts for- bid employment of any child under twelve years old, the various local authorities having power to set con- ditions fixing employment of child-! ren between twelve and fourteen years old. As a striking commentary on the situation it should be pointed out that Lord Rothermere, brother of Lord Northcliffe and publisher of the Sunday Pictorial, with 3,000,000 circu- lation, has taken up the very cry for repeal of the education act for fin- ancial reasons. He thinks the na- tion can't afford it. "I lay the chief blame on the par- ents of these child slaves," says Mu- riel Viscountess Helmsley. "The state of affairs is scandalous. It is terrible that parents should be so apathetic." The Latest. It used to be "love in a cottage," with the bards of long ago, but the modern bards have changed it to love in a bungalow. SUGAR FROM THE GARDEN Gardeners who cannot raise sugar cane may be interested in the follow- ing description, which appears in Chambers' Journal, of the process of extracting sugar from beets. The amateur must exercise great care in harvesting the roots that the ten- der skin be not broken. The first operation is to remove all dirt by washing, after which the beets are boiled in water until the skin pezls off easily. They are next cut into thin slices, placed in a pan, just covered with water, brought to a boil once more and then left to simmer for ten hours. The resulting pulp is put into a muslin bag and squeezed until all the juice is extracted. The juice is boiled down to a very thick syrup that makes a good substitute for commercial sugar. As the syrup will not keep for more than a few weeks, it is advisable to make only a smatl supply at a time. The roots, how- ever, can be stored for a long period without deteriorating if they are kept dry and free from frost. TO HAVE POLO TEAM North shore alumni of the Uni- versity of Illinois will be interested to learn that polo is to be added to the sports played at their alma 'ma- ter. According to an announcement made recently by Major W. A. Alex- ander, in charge of the artillery unit, a polo team is to be organized upon the arrival of several hundred horses early next month.
