letter showing the necessity for GER
tain boys and girls to take out new

she attends, produces satisfactory
proof of age and brings one Of their
parents or guardian with them. To
those who were given badges in 1915
no permits will be issued unless said
badge is returned. This notice ap-
plies to girls under sixteen years of

those found engaged in the above oc-
cupations without permits will be
