CHILD EMPLOYMENT.
Is Being Presented in Many States of the
Union

It is so well recognized that certain
occupations may involve serious dangers
to young, growing persons that most
states now have their child labor laws.
Massachusetts, which has been a leader
in legislation OF this character, is now
engaged in systematic effort to collect
information that may be of value in de-
terminining the need of changes in Its
present laws and regulations governing
the employment OF minors. AT the re
quest of the Massachusetts board of la
Dor and industries, Assistant Surgeon Nj.
Victor Stafford of the United States pub
lie health service was detailed by the
federal government to cooperate with
the authorities in study OF the ehect
of employment in various occupations on
the health and physical development OF
children now permitted by law to work
therein. A report of this study with re-
spect to the cotton manufacturing in
dustry of Massachusetts has just been
published by the federal government as
public health bulletin No. rs, entitled
'1nhuence of occupation on health during
adolescence"
The physical condition of over 800 boys
between the ages of Ia and Is employed
in this industry in different parts of the
state received careful study. 1t was
brought out that in Massachusetts boys
between these ages for the most part
do not remain long in the cotton mills.
This fact and the strict regulations OF
the state governing the employment OF
minors may not make some OF the con-
clusion reached in this local investigation
equally true elsewhere, but among the
facts disclosed the following may be
mentioned
A considerable proportion of the
younger boys and also of those over 10
were undersized and physically undevel-
oped for their ages, while those between
Is and I6 averaged larger than other
classes of boys of their age with which
COMPARISONS were made This fact is ex-
planned by the accumulation in the mills
of strong boys waiting to reach the age
of l6 to go into permanent full time
occupations. The presence of note
worthy proportion of undersized boys is
not aseribed to the effects of the occupa-
ton. but to the fact that the cotton mill
offers one of the few chances of employ
ment for undersized boys. Evidence of
injurious effects of their work or work
ing conditions, even of the temperature
and humidity of the mills, on normal
bows was seldom found, although further
investigation of possible effects of at
mospheric conditions is recommended.
Probably as result of the state regula-
tions relative to the issuance OF employ
ment certificates comparatively few cases
of dangerous diseases were discovered.
There was, however, wide variety of
defective conditions disclosed by the in
yestigation. many of them of such
character as to impair seriously the fu-
ture health and economic usefulness OF
the individuals concerned if not remedied.

Why He Hurried Away.

A supposedly confirmed old bachelor
had lately fallen deeply in love and
might be seen almost any day passing
and repassing the house of his lady-love.
One day he picked up a small thimble
which had suddenly rolled down the
steps. He stood while meditating on
the beauty OF its owner and looking at
the thimble lovingly Then he pressed it
to his lips. saving: ~Oh, that it were the

Washington, d. c., Sept. 20.-General

day that the lst Vermont and the I'd
New York infantry regiments would be
returned to their homes as soon as the
Tennessee units, now en- route TO the

Burlington, Sept. Goo. c, lst Yer
mont infantry, and the attached sanitary
troops, composed almost entirely OF Uni

Fort Ethan Allen this morning from
Eagle Pass, Texas, where they have been
encamped with the Vermont troops for
nearly three months They were sent
home on representations made to the
war department by President Benton OF
the University of Vermont.
Arrangements are being made at the
fort for the arrival OF the entire regl-
ment of Vermont troops. 1t is thought
the men will leave Eagle Pass in day
or two. The troop train will consist of
three detachments, made up as follows;
First section, Col Ira l.. Reeves, Major
Walter O. Cooley of Brattleboro, and
A, b, c, and D. companies and Major T.
~. Hagan. Second section, Lieut.. Col.

Colonel Dickman has ordered that Ger.
tain portions of the barracks at Fort
Ethan Allen be placed in readiness for
the arrival of the Vermont guardsmen,
and which they will occupy until after
they are mustered out. 1t will probably
be week from the date OF the troops
arrival before they are all mustered out,

FARMERS
MAY REBEL
And Refuse TO Sell Milk to
Boston Dealers at the
New Rate
SAYS SEC. PATTEE
OF LACONIA, N. H.
Consumer in Boston Must
Pay 10 Cents a Quart
After Oct. |

Laconia, n, H., Sept. 20.-The price to
be paid farmers for milk this winter, as
announced by Boston milk contractors
along with notice of an advance in charge
TO the consumers, falls short of the mini
mum set by the New England Milk Pro-
dueers' association. Secretary Richard
Pattee said to-day: "ln my Judgment
this price will not be satisfactory and the
farmers will refuse to sell milk at less
than so cents a can"
Secretary Pattee pointed to the an
nouncement of II. p. Hood & Sons TO
show that while the consumer will pay
one cent quart advance on October /,
or 10 cents quart, the farmer would
receive only three-eghths OF cent un-
der the contractors proposition.

RAT FLEA ABS0LVED.
Does Not Transmit Infantile Paralysis,
1t is Found.

New York, Sept. 20--Efforts OF federal
and city health authorities to determine
the source of infantile paralysis have
been unsuccessful, it was disclosed last
night in announcement by United States
public health service officials OF the aban-
donment of the latest theory that the rat
flea transmits the disease.
Another attempt to trace the disease
to dogs and cats taken from houses
where there had been patients, also
proved futile. Tests were made in the
city laboratories on six such animals, but
while they were found to have paralysis,
il was asserted that none had the disease
from which the children suffered.

BORDER WORk0F
Y.M.C.A. LAUDED
Local Man Declares That
Convenience Offered Boys
is Proving Big Aid.

According to word received from
Fred Gutknecht. quarter master
sergeant of the Machine Gun COM
pany. N. D. N. G.. in a letter to Secre-
tary H. H. Tuttle of the Grand Forks
Y. M. c. A.. the work of the Young
Mems Christian Association at the
border is assisting greatly in making
conditions in general much better for
the guardsmen stationed there. Mr..
Gutknecht declares that the building
erected for the soldiers is exceedingly
popular and that the members derive
great benefit from the accommoda-
tions afforded.
The Y. NJ. c. A. leaders endeavor
to urge the soldiers to write home
often and in order to stimulate the
interest Of the guardsmen in letter
writing, they have provided stationery
and writing facilities in their build
ing. When the men are not on duty.
invaria bly, they congregate about the
Y. NJ. c. A, according to Mr.. Gut
knecht.
The boys at the border have no
idea as to when they will be per-
mitted to return home. but in the
opinion of Mr.. Gutknecht, the press
ure brought to bear on the authorities
from the folk at home. will assist in
bringing about an early release.
Mr.. Gutknecht also stated that one
member of the guard. stationed at
Mercedes. had succumbed. but did not
give the name Of the deceased or the
cause of death
