ONLY $50 MINORS AT WORK.
Inspector Reports 1854 Males and
5.549 Females in Plants.

The biennial report of Factory Inspec-
tor Allan Calhoun of Middlebury, Just
made public, says that there are only
$50 minors employed in the different in
dustries of the state. The report says
that 1854 males and 5,549 females
are employed in Vermont's industries.
Much attention has been given, says
the inspector, to the proper safeguard
ing of machinery, but it has been found
that many employees remove the safety
devices which the employers have fur
nished. He suggests that each shop
should have a safety committee of en-
ployes, saying:
cit has come to be realized that the
prevention of industrial accidents de.
ponds largely upon the care exercised
by the employees as whole and that
is why every mechanical establishment
should have its safety committee"
The inspector declares that he has
found pronounced improvement in the
sanitary conditions in factories through
out the state, but makes suggestion
for more sanitary laws. He urges that
the requirements for fire escapes be the
same for industrial plants as fol
schools, theatres and public halls; he
wants elevator guards required by law
and would require that all doors oper
outward
Another piece of legislation recon
mended is that proper machinery be in
stalled in the granite and stone indus
tries to remove as far as possible the
dust nuisance, as measure protecting
the workmen from disease and consump
tive trouble.

CHRISTMAS AT I. o. o. F. HOME
Residents at Ludlow Institution En-
joyed Yuletide Festivities.

Yuletide festivities at the Odd Eel
lows Home in Ludlow this year were
of particularly pleasing character, and
no little pleasure was added to the en-
ioyment of the day by the fact that
none of the residents were confined to
their rooms by illness, condition that
has not existed before during the pres
ent administration of the affairs of the
Home, which is to say for the past
six years.
A dinner of roast chicken, with
dressing, boiled potatoes, giblet and
cranberry sauce, celery and pickles,
pumpkin and mince pie, plum pudding,
nuts, raisins and fruit was served at
noon, and the afternoon was pleasantly
spent with music and games.
Shortly after o clock the residents
were requested to assemble in the par.
lor, where they were served luncheon
of chicken sandwiches, cake and coffee
The parlor was decorated for the oc.
casion with two large Christmas trees
fully laden with gifts for all, and with
cOlored streamers from which bung bells
leading to the Odd Fellow and Rebekah
cmblems.
The gifts were distributed from the
trees by the superintendent, assisted by
Master Elvin Boyce, and the pleasure
expressed by the recipients added much
to the enjoyment of the proceedings by
all who had part in their preparations
Before dispensing for the evening Mr.
Rodgers, one of the residents, in a few
chosen words stated that he was sure
all the residents of the Home felt under
obligations to the superintendent and
matron for the very pleasant day and
asked all to manifest their apprecia
ton by raising hands. The sentiment
twas unanimously endorsed and Supt
Royce responded feelingly with few
remarks.
The day will surely go down in the
annals of the Home and the memory
of the residents as a thoroughly en-
joyable occasion.

COTE SETTLES ACCOUNTS.
Arrested at Railroad Station by officer
Wood - Abandoned Team and Sold
Another's Motorcycle.

Horace Frederick Cote, who answers
to the name of Fred, had busy
time arranging settlement of his debts
in Brattleboro after his arrival in
town Tuesday and his arrest at the
railroad station by Officer Charles II.
Wood.
A few weeks ago Cote came here
from Millers Falls, where he says he is
employed, and hired horse and car
riage of Liveryman NJ. M. Tucker to
drive to Jamaica to visit his wife. She
was Miss Nellie M. Leno and they were
married here June s, 1914.
Cote decided to save the expense of
the livery bill and add to his stock of
clothing an overcoat that had been
loaned him at the stable. He put the
horse in John Taft S barn in West Dunn
merston on his return trip and boarded
train there.
He arranged Tuesday with his faith
err, Horace Cote of Orange, Mass, to
square up the little account at the liv
cry and the money was telegraphed next
morning and the bill settled.
The next step was to bring another
civil suit against him for little trans
action in motorcycles which took place
in July, 1915, with Fred Hescock, the
motorcycle dealer, as the other inter
ested party. Cote at that time gave hi
name as f. c. Johnson and claimed own
ership of secondhand motorcycle
which he sold to Hescock for 1922. Hes
cock later turned the machine over tt
the rightful owner. On Wednesday Cot
had made satisfactory arrangements t.
settle that account and was released
from custody.
