CHILDS AUTO CASE
CONTINUED A WEEK
Mai. F. w. Childs Charged with Oper-
ating Car Without Lcense-Sent
Money to Secretary of State.

Mai. F.. w. Childs was in the mu
nicipal court this morning to answer
to charge of operating an automobile
without a license He was arrested
by Chief Of Police George Wilson and
the complaint was made out by State S
Attorney Harrie B, Chase. Major.
Childs did not enter n plea, but asked
to have the case put over until next
Monday in order that he could consult
his attorney, and Judge Cudworth com
piled with the request, that being
agreeable to all concerned.
The officer saw Major Ghilds driving
his car with last year s number plate
and on investigation learned that he
had no operator s license.
Major Childs felt that the violation
was only technical at best, as he sent
money TO the secretary of state for a
license and the secretary of state ac-
knowledged its receipt but stated that
80 cents more was needed because of
an increase in the fee. He showed
documents to prove this and said also
that an automobile dealer told him il
would be all right to drive his caI
under those circumstances.
State s Attorney Chase says there
is to be more rigid enforcement OF
the automobile laws and that owners
and drivers of ears should take notice
and govern themselves accordingly

In many factories and business estab-
lishments the experience of putting wom-
en- in mems places during the war demon
strated the fact that, generally speaking,
women workers do not like to be 'bossed
bv women. The manager Of a large fac
tory said he had been obliged to put
women in place of certain chief foremen,
but the experiment had not proved sue
cessful. The girls, he said, did not work
as well as when there We're men in charge.
In the same way, the manager of the firm
which employs hundreds of girl clerks re-
marked that he was glad the war had
taught him the value of women workers,
but his experience showed that the latter
worked better and more happily under
men bosses than under women.
