Late Hours Bad For
Health of Children

To thrive and be efficient little child
rem should have an abundance of sleep
10 to IA hours of the "a. Early
sleep is essential if the full period of
rest is to be secured. Miss Lucy Cord
iner, extension specialist in foods and
nutrition, Minnesota college of agri-
culture, says that tabulation of data
gathered at nutrition clinics held in the
state reveals that the majority of child
rem suffering from malnutrition do not
obtain sufficient rest. Even for child
rem Of 6 and years of age" she says,
bedtime is between 9 and 10 O'Clock.
No child can recover from malnutrition
unless he be given full opportunity to
rest and be taught the value Of early
Sleep For this he must have the CO.

Parties Selling Autos
Must Not Keep Tags

Automobile owners who have made a
practice Of transferring their auto IL
cense from an old to new car in order
to avoid taking out new license may
find themselves in an embarrassing sit
uation on the subject of automobile Ii
censes and registration. Many auto
mobile owners do not understand the
feature of the new law providing that
licenses follow the car instead OF the
owner as previously and requiring that
a new license must be taken out for a
new car. Another point about which
there is much uncertainty relates to
the matter of transfer of ownership.
When car is transferred the license
goes with the car, but the car must be
re-registered in the. name of the new.
owner and the license must also be re-
issued to the new owner. A car must
be re-registered in other words each
time that it is transferred from one
owner to another and license at all
time must read in favor of the new
owner. No license can be issued for
any car until the car has been regis
tered

Free Homes .'*s = 4:
- 80 = For Teachers

Prediction that free homes for the
rural teachers would be supplied by
Minnesota school districts in the future,
was made by James Mcconnell and
other officials last week at Minneapolis.
Mr. Mcconnell said that in modi-
fed form this plan was being worked
out in several Minnesota counties. In
st. Louis county, 20 districts provide
homes for their teachers. In case of
small districts employing only one
teacher, residence section is often
added to the school building itself
In a dozen districts, community
homes have been established. At Hunt
ly, Faribault county. a $4,000 COM
munity home is now being erected.
