A net increase during the last
month of IA in the number Of
minors between the ages Of IA and Is
years working under work permits in
the industrial establishments Of Maine
is shown by figures given out by Ros-
coe p. Eddy, State commissioner Of
labor and industry.
All the industrial centers but two,
Portland and Augusta, show a de-
crease in the number Of work permits
issued and there the increase is but
four for Portland and three for Au-
gusta. Were it not for an increase of
IA in industrial establishments outside
the larger centers the net decrease the
what it now is Sanford, in York
county. leads in the decrease shown,
having fallen Of II, Waterville has de-
creased two, Skowhegan five, Saco
five, Westbrook two, Lewiston one,
Brunswick two. Biddeford four, Au-
burn one and Lisbon two.
This is the last month in which COM
parsons will be made as to the rela-
tive increase and decrease in the num-
Der Of minors between the ages of IA
and 16 years working under work per-
mits in the industrial establishments
of the State. as at the close of the
public schools, about June is, vacation
permits will be issued instead Of work
permits. The vacation work permit
differs from the regular work permit
in that no educational test is required
no 70 nrl< INV
ing the summer school vacation only,
becoming null and void after the first
Monday Of September of the year in
which it is issued.
A rush is already apparent on the
part of those desiring to have the
children employed during the summer
months to get the children into the
mills and factories before the schools
close, in order that they may get bet
ter places than those coming in later.
These vacation permits, however, will
not be issued to become operative be-
fore the close Of schools on June 16.
Superintendent Of schools are also ad-
vised by the department of labor not
to give out any further work permits,
as by holding off a little while longer
all children who are physically fit be-
tween the ages of IA and 16 years can
secure vacation work permits.
Commissioner Eddy was asked why
in his opinion there was an even larger
increase in the number of minors be-
tween the ages of IA and 16 years
working in industrial establishments
outside the big centers than was
shown in the substantial increase in
this direction the previous month. He
replied that while it was due in con-
siderable measure as last month to in
dustrjes starting up which were dor
mant during the winter, there was also
evidently disposition to take the
children out Of school before the close
of the term in order that they might
get jobs ahead of those who would
come in under vacation permits after
the school term was ended.

registration of automobiles Of all kinds

three millions Of gasoline cars in the

for those which use steam and cleo

ing fact is that the number incr sed
in the first half of the year by more
than half a million and that there will
be we'll on to four millions in service
by the end of the. year. These tig-
ures are stupendous.
New York, Ohio, Illinois and Penn

has ever been known in the worlds
history, and we shall have passed away
and been forgotten when the mex: one

up to the grandeur and importance Of
the work before us, so that the results
and lessons Of our labor may bless and
last until our descendants shall cele-
brate in a similar manner the next
centennial.

the world shall gather here; and II is

Tbs Yankoos In Battle.

For courage and dash there is no
parallel il history to this action of the
spanish admiral He came, as he knew,
to absolute obstruction. There was one
single hope. That was that the Span
ish ship Cristobal Colon would steam
faster than the American ship Brook
Ign. The spectacle of two torpedo
boat deStr0yels, paper shells at best,
deliberately steamlng out in broad day
hight in the face OF the fire of battle
ships, can only be described in one
way 1t was Spanish, and 1t was ord
cred by the Spanish General Blanco.
The same may be said of the entire
movement.
In contrast to the Spanish fashion
was the cool, deliberate Yankee work
The American squadron was without
sentiment apparently The ships went
at their Spanish opponents and liter
ally tore them TO pieces. Admiral Ger
vera was taken aboard the Iowa from
the Gloucester, which had rescued him,
and he was received win a full admir-
ais guard. The crew of the Iowa
crowded aft over the turrets, half max eG
and black with powder, as Cervera
stepped over the side bareheaded. The
crew cheered Vociferously. The admir-
al submitted to the fortunes of war
with grace that proclaimed him a
thoroughbred.
The officers Of the Spanish ship Viz
caya said they simply could not hold
their crews at the guns on account of
the rapid fire poured upon them. The
decks were flooded with water from
the fire hose, and the blood from the
wounded made this dark red. Frag-
ments of bodies floated in this along
the gun deck Every instant the crack
of exploding shells told o. new havoc
The torpedo boat Ericsson was sent by
the flagship to the help of the Iowa in
the rescue of the Viscaya's crew. Her
men saw a terrible sight. The flames,
leaping out from the huge shot holes IN
the Viscaya's sides, licked up the decks,
sizzling the flesh of the wounded who
were lying there shrieking for help.
Between the frequent explosions there
came awful cries and groans from the
men pinned below. This carnage was
chiefly due to the rapidity of the Amer
lean fire.
qand -day:-l A, atwk
From two six-pounders 400 shells
were fired in so minutes. UP in the
tops the marines banged away with
one-pounders, too excited to step back
to duck as the shells whistled over

terry under a 12-inch gun was blinded
by smoke and saltpetre from the tur-
ret, and his crew were driven off, but
sticking a wet handkerchief over his
face, with holes cut for his eyes, he
stuck to his gun.
Finally, as the x-pounders were so
close to the eight-inch turret as to
make it impossible to stay there with
safety, the men were ordered away be-
fore the big gun was fired, but they re-
fused to leave. When the three-inch
gun was fired, the conclusion blew
