CHILDREN RUSH FOR PERMITS TO
 60 10 WORK
New Law Relating to Elm ployment of Juveniles
 Much Stricter Than Old.

With the opening today of school, there is a rush upon Charles V. Hall, representative of the State Board of Education, to secure applications for employment which all children be- tween the ages of IA and 16 must possess. This morning and this after noon the city hall chamber was jam med with youthful humanity in an effort to secure the coveted certifi- cates. The new state law makes it compulsory to obtain these certifi- cates. An employer who works a child without one of these certificates is liable to a fine of $100. All is in- tended to minimize the employment of children.
 The state representative is in Bridgeport every Tuesday of the year and can be- found at the City Hall Each applicant must appear before him and also must have proof of age. School, city and town records are ac- ceptable. The, child is examined as to his qualifications the Fifth grade being set as the standard. If that grade has not been reached then examination through the fractions is the state agent can reject him.
 When a certificate is issued to a child. there is also issued a duplicate for the state and another for the em p1oyer. When the child goes to work his certificate must be shown. If there is no change of the child from one employer to another, the. first Failure to do so brings a fine of $10. In this way the state manipulates card index keeping intact with every s14-16 year old child in the state.

AUTO CHEMICAL NO. ? AGAIN ON DUTY

!. Auto Chemical Engine No. ? was sent from the Locomobile factory this noon and will go into service this af- ternoon at No. chemical house in Maplewood avenue, with the approval of Department Mechanician Tracey.
 The big vehicle has been equipped with new rear axles and rear springs of extra size. Originally 1t was equipped with the same style rear axles and springs as the No. 1 ma chine. but it was found that the ad- ditional weight of the extra chemical tank put an undue burden on the rear for the ordinary springs and axles, and the larger and more powerful type has been substituted.
 In anticipation of the coming of several more pieces of motor driven chauffeur positions are being broken in, beginning today.
 Chauffeur Percy Searles on the chiefs car is teaching the business to Alec Mullep@of No. 6's. Driver O'Con- nor of No. l chemical is instructing Wally Tobin, driver of No. Is steam CT, on the automobile which was for merly used to draw the steam fire engine. but which was recently dis mounted.
 The new department chauffeurs will receive about a weeks instruction on the road, and then will be permitted to drive automobile apparatus on the return from fires for about a month. Then they will be allowed to make runs occasionally untir they are fully broken in.'' They will also be given thorough instruction in the mechan- ical side of the work and the prompt repairing of all the breaks and emer- gencies that come up to the driver of a motor car

''The Leading Lady"
 P|eases Al Poi'S
Big City Four, Boxing Kan garoo and Barry & John son Also Make Hit This Week.

The graceful dancing of Marguerite Haney. the droll antics of Ralph Lynn and the energetic chorus of "The Lead ing Lady' combine to make the head line act at Polls this week, am instan- taneous success. There is not a dull moment in the act. You can't help laughing at Ralph Lynn. AS the Eng lish Johnny in search of an heiress he paid ardent court to pretty Miss Haney and as he himself remarked, 'Id marry her if she were twice as rich" Miss Haney is good to look upon and her costumes are designed so that none of the scenic points shall be missed. There are a number of good songs one of the best being My Picture Puzzle Girl.'' .
 The Big City Four'' had to respond to several encores last night. They had a line of new songs ranging from ragtime to the almost classic My Ros- ary." The members of the quartet have good voices which blend harmon iously. The most popular numbers were That Mysterious Rag and "Alexander's Ragtime Band.'
 Jarvis & Harrison have singing and dancing act which is good in spots. The feminine member of the team is pretty and has a good voice. Her male partner is hard worker but he would receive just as much ap- plause if he didn't laugh so uproar- iously at his own jokes
 Jeff. the Boxing Kangaroo intro duced by the Gordon Brothers pleased the people. The animal has a long reach and manages to land quite fre- quently on the jaw of one of the Cor dons while engaged in, a three round sparring match. It was novel act and was one which proved popular.
 Barry & Johnson present a sketch called 'The Earthquake" The title sounds melodramatic but you discover that nothing but broad farce will be served. There are numerous burlesque situations which are we'll handled and the audience last night was convulsed with merriment
 A character comedian named Harry Gilbert told a few jokes and then sang number of songs in manner which made hit. His rendition of That Dreamy Italian Waltz" and sIn the Land of Harmony" could not have been improved upon.
 The Musical Craigs opened the show. Their selections were we'll played and were heartily applauded

FARM ENGINEERING

Recognizing that much remains to be accomplished by applying good en- gineering to farm operations and to the work of land development, the management of the American Land and Irrigation Exposition, to be held 3 to IF, has appointed Putnam A. Bates, consulting engineer who has specialized in these subjects, to direct the assembly of exhibits in this di- vision of the exposition. It looks for ward to this feature as one of the most important Of the entire Land Show. and believes i. will throw new light on farming methods.
 Bates proposes to bring out the inn portance of close relationship between agriculture and engineering. He hopes not only to demonstrate this to the farmer, but to awaken engineers to the opportunities open to them in agricultural lines. This implies CO., operation, but the tendency to cooper ation in every department of modern enterprise was never more forcibly il- frustrated than in the recent conven- ton in New York of Farmers and Consumers Associations to make an effort to cut out the middleman's large profits
 'sThe farmer" says Bates, 'has been struggling to surmount his difficult

Road-making, irrigating, draining. disposal of sew age, development of water supplies, light and heavy power applications, generating electricity and transmit ting it for illumination and labor-sav- ing uses are all engineering problems of the utmost importance to success full farming and, taken the country wat ct ial nf nrlx for progressive engineers
 The country, especially in the farm ing districts, is dotted with water powers, once in active use for mill- ing purposes. but which the farmers now allow to run to waste. Tn one instance where the farmer was wise enough to- utilize this power for an four-horse-power dynamo would run sixty ordinary lights, drive milk sep- arator, milk the cows, turn a grind stone, flaming mill or feed grinder, cut the ensilage, and drive a dozen other small machines. He calculated that it did the work of three hired men. besides lighting the local church and his house and stable City com forts are fast invading country will lages, as is proved bp the fact that in 1909, out of 5,577 central stations supplying villages and cities with power. 4,357 existed in towns of less than 5000 inhabitants.
 When farming in the East returns to its own, the old abandoned water powers will be reclaimed, the rural highways that have been allowed to deteriorate will be rebuilt, and cleo trical and mechanical devices that are now used in other industries will be applied by scientific men toward sim plifying work on the farm. It.is these ideas that Bates will demonstrate through a careful selection of exhib- its typifying every branch of engin- eering that has to do with land de- velopment or farming.
