"A minor girl employed by a food products manufacturing concern, while engaged in assorting tomatoes, had her thumb crushed, necessitating amputation at the first Joint. This accident occurred Just four hours after she was accepted for work without an employment certificate. "The cause of this accident can readily be traced to the fact that this girl was given no opportunity to learn gradually the Intricacies of the operation of such machinery. Had she received the proper instructions concerning it, the accident might not have happened." Migratory Problem. In the field of child labor our most serious problem today is that of migratory labor. Last year in New Jersey legislation was passed which seeks to better the conditions of children employed In industrial agriculture. For 35 years families have been brought into New Jersey from other states, notably Pennsylvania, to work in cranberry bogs and on truck farms. Miserable conditions, excessive work and low pay have been the rule. The new law raises the age at w'hich children may leave school to work. It also makes ilchillegal the work of dren when the schools of the district in which they are living are in session or when the schools of the states in which they maintain local residence would require their attendance. Tbe effect of industrial migration upon the children of migrant families. was described as detrimental by Paul S. Taylor before the LaFol-lett- e civil liberties committee. "Incessant migration retards the education of children. A few American parents are beginning to complain that their children cannot write as good English as they. There is a growing consciousness that for many of their kind the future portends not progress from generation to generations, but retrogression. Members of the national child labor committee deplore the fact that 16 years is the minimum age at which children may leave school for work in only 12 states. In defense of their position, they point out that "those who are now our children will in future years become our citizens. How will they meet the difficult problem ahead of us as a nation? How can they solve the democratic and educational challenge of the future? f j) fe .WS-t-,' next-doo- tM 2 j ) i 1 a I took tbe cover olf the tank and found u crust on tbe sin fare about 10 inches thick, uluch be H.tid is due to I. iik of fei mentation, caused by the tank hems' too low and not Kid tiny the heat of the sun The plumber suggests raising the plumbing In the cellar and raising the tank to within 10 Inches of the suifaee Shull I follow the plumber's suguse the yeast gestions or shall cake suggestion of a neighbor?

The result of this lull in the cycle of blood arid warfare was the growth of u more humane and Last spring shortly before Italy became a belligerent the Italian cabinet approved a bill providing for civil mobilization in war time which would Include children of both sexes of 13 years up. About the same time Rumania was reported to be drafting, from the NdUonal Youth Movement, 4,000,000 school children between the ages of 7 and 18 in an "agricultural army. Since 1938 the wages and hours act has played a large part in regulating the employment of children under 16 and in regulating hours and wages for older workers in interstate commerce industries. But this act is only a beginning. Entirely excluded from national regulation are all children employed in industries which are intrastate. Large numbers of boys and girls under 16 are in personal service trades, at work in laundries, hotels, beauty parlors and filling stations. Many serve as clerks or messengers. Their hours are long and their wages low. This fact is even more serious than at first it appears, since the fields in which children are today in greatest demand are those winch do not come under federal law.

This time he laid more careful and elaborate plans. To do the actual stealing, he enlisted a friend, Donald Lynch, and assigned his own younger brother, Edward Kwiatkowski. 19, to assist. Last February 7, Edward drove Lynch to Williamstown, and the latter, equipped with the simple disguise of a pair of scholarly glasses, and carrying a brief case, walked into the Williams library. To the librarian, Miss Lucy Osborne, he presented a letter forged in the name of the president of Vt., college, identifying the bearer as a Middlebury professor, and asked to see the folio. Miss Osborne escorted Lynch to a private room and put the valuable volume on a table before him. Exchanged for Dummy. The minute she left the room. Lynch slipped the book into his brief case and substituted a dummy he had brought. He waited a few moments and then rushed out, affecting restrained excitement.

It was a venture comparable In principle to the classic theft of the Mona Lisa, and equally impossible of successful completion. The Shakespeare folio, the first compilation of the bards plays printed in 1623, was in the library of Williams college at Williamstown, Mass., and was one of the few copies extant. They are worth upwards of and the ownership of each is known to thousands of connoisseurs. Had Experience. William Kwiatkowski already had considerable experience in illicit literary transactions, so the assistant district attorneys office says.

The general welfare of the whole country is closely linked to the health problem presented by this class of needy persons, according to a bulletin recently published by the U. S. Public Health Service. These on the road" people are discriminated against in programs of material aid and public medical care through the application of residence and related requirements. Passed Assistant Surgeon Clearies F, Blankenship and Fred Sailer, Associate Social Science Analyst, authors of the study, state in this new bulletin. The Public Health Service points out that "migration is an outstandof the United ing characteristic States." Economic improvement is the main incentive for migration. Since it is true that almost of the agencies giving medical care to transients restrict care to either emergency or selected cases, the difficulties facing the transient who required public medical care are matters of serious concern. Illness Rate High. "Transients, either interstate or intrastate, have considerably more disabling illness than persons who have resided in communities long enough and under such conditions as to have the status of residents. Intrastate transients have even higher disabling illness rates than have the interstate group. "However, as illness strikes more frequently, the result seems to be that further migration is delayed and often the migrant settles down in some community and eventually becomes a resident. This tendency may be responsible for the high rate of illness and disease found in cities among the local homeless, many of whom may well be former interstate transients disabled for migration by chronic or recurring diseases." Data on medical care received by transients reflect the results of the limitations imposed on the group. No class or type of nonresidents, except special beneficiaries c( the federal health services, receives as much medical care as even the poot in resident groups. Although most students of the subject agree that care recened by many residents is not adequate for the maintenance of health, the report shows that transients receive even less care than do residents As a result illness is more common among transient that BUFFALO. Impossible feats always have held a hypnotic fascination for a certain few quixotically minded people. For them, no mountain is too high to assail, no abyss too great to start across on a tightrope, no problem too knotty to tackle.
