No boy under sixteen years and no girl under eighteen years shall be employed, permitted or suffered to work for more than forty eight hours in any one week, nor more than eight hours in any one day, or before the hours of z a. m. and after the hour of 7 p. m. No boy under the age of ten and no girl under the age of sixteen shall be per mitted to sell papers on the pub- lie streets.
 Another provision of the act is one that respects the employ nent of females in stores, etc. females are employed in stores, the employers must furnish chairs and seats for their use when they are not otherwise employed. Employ CTS shall permit the use of said seats when said female are not necessarily engaged in the active duties for which they are em- plOyed. Two chairs or seats shall be furnished for each three females employed. Provisions of the act place the burden of the proof upon the employers in case children are employed. An system of certificates are provided for, it is made the duty of the attendance officers to the provisions of the act.
 Employers of children under the age of fourteen, in any oc- should make arrange nents to place some other per son or persons in their places and prior to the opening of school, September 18th. They should also enquire nto the provisions of the act md obtain proper certificates, etc., where they employ children between the ages of II and IS years.
 During the present term of school the compulsory law will oe enforced all over the country. A child'S statement that he is 'ver the required age is not to 'e accepted. Proofs, in a proper described form, are to be sub- nitted and kept on file, etc. At endance officers are to enquire n all cases of employment of children, whatever their age, nd are to bring suit against Democrat.

Bleirot monoplane, the handwork OF
John Claude Altman and Dallas Wise,

him that his position was only partial
" correct. because in Chicago the city
owns both the mains and the house
connections and that the consumers are
under no expense whatever.
Mr.. Ray explained that it was not
his desire that the city should he
brought into the work for the purpose
of collecting bills but rather to pro-
tect the company against any damage
from leaky pipes. which would flood
the streets If thawed out. Some pipes
burst while frozen, and when the water
is thawed. the pavements will be ruin
ed. To this the board answered that
the house connections were private
property. and the property owner is
responsible for any damage that might
result to the street, and that under
the circumstances 1t could not be made
party to the proposition. 1t was
suggested that if the gas company is
called upon to do electric thawing 1t
must first inquire of the property own
er who his plumber is and to have the
property owner make arrangement
with the plumber to repair any faulty
pipes. This Seemed satisfactory to the
electrical men who said they did not
care to go into the plumbing business,
