 The federal law provides that producer or manufacturer may protect himself from prosecution for employ ing children in the forbidden ages by procuring and keeping on file cersifi- cates of age issued under federal au- thority- For this purpose the United States department of labor has ap- proved for six months, from Sept. 1, 1917, Rhode Island age and employ ment certificates, issued by school committees and their agents.
 Tt will not be 1acsG5ary, therefore, for employers to procure for children under Is years of age other certificates than the Rhode Island age and employ ment certificate, but employers must comply in every respect with the pro- visions of the federal law limiting and specifying the hours for which and during which children under 16 years of age may be employed.
 Your attention is also directed to chapter 1492 of the Rhode Island laws, 1917, which extends the age of com pulsory attendance to 16 years.

 The great amount of traffic in Broad street has spelled destruction to the stretch of highway from High to Elm the station of the silent signal traffic sentinel. Thursday that particular section rear the sentinel was being repaired and the holes are being filled in, only to create holes in the parts not treated. While the highway com missioners are not believers in this patchwork system, yet they believe it is best under present conditions. when the cost of material and labor is ali such an excessive standard. AppTopri- ation has been made for the cons tuc- ton of a vitrified brick pavement to replace the macadam highway and it is not considered wise to have the work done under the present circum- porary repairs to meet the present conditions.
