chiIdren,s CLEVER scheme.

Grimsby (Eng.) town council, after
closing the schools to stay the cpl
demic of influenza, passed an emer-
gency bylaw prohibiting children un-
der fourteen attending the movies.
The resulting attendance at the cine
ma failed to decline and an investiga-
ton proved that children produced

boxes before entering the show, but
further investigation disclosed that
these certificates were hired for 2
cents from elder children who had
seen the show.
The traffic in birth certificates was
proved to have been considerable.
