Stanley Baldwin. the new British
prime minister. played a comparative
ly minor part in British politics until
the advent of the Bonar Law regime
following the resignation of Premier
Lloyd George and the breakup OF the
coalition which guided British des-
tlnies during the war.
Under Mr.. Lloyd George he was
financial secretary of the treasury
and later president of the board of
trade. and it was in recognition of
his ability in the reid OF nance that
he was named to the important post
of chancellor OF the exchequer by Mr..
Bonar Law.
Possibly his most notable achieve
ment as chancellor was the negotia-
ton of the war debt settlement with
the United States during which he
visited Washington at h head of
the British debt mission. His handl-

makes possible various reductions In

are practically all vacation work per-
mits.
Vacation work permits are good
only during the summer vacation OF
schools. while regular permits are
good all the year. During the sum-
mer school vacation children between
the ages of 4and 16 are employed in
manufacturing and mercantile estab-
lishments under the provision of va
cation work permits. While the
schools in town are in session, the
law provides that no child under the
age of Is in that town shall be en-
ployed for hire and there are no ex-
ceptions.
All work permits are issued by the
superintendent of schools of the town
in which the child resides. These are
issued in duplicate, the original being
with his employer. This is his right
to work. The duplicate is returned
to the Department Of Labor, accom-
panied by evidence of birth upon
which the permit Is issued. It is the
duty Of the child labor division Of
the Labor Department to check up
the evidence and see II it IL correct.
When the child begins his work the
employer makes note of the fact on
forms furnished by the department.
and at the termination of his employ
ment the department must be noti-
fled. This method enables the depart
ment to keep a correct account OF
when and where the children are en-
ployed. The records are preserved
for certain length Of time in the
office of State Labor Commissioner
Roscoe A. Eddy for the purpose OF
assisting in determining the age OF

Auto Accidents Jump
az Percent in 3 Years

New York. July 13.-(By A. P)-
Lax supervision Of motor vehicle
drivers and the resultant increase of
AZ percent in the automobile death
rate during the past three years, is
due to the fact that the majority of
state legislators are from rural dis
tricts where strict examination and
registration Of drivers is not a vital
matter, according to a report sub
mitted by William j. Cox, traffic
accident research engineer, to the
National Bureau Of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters. There were
$4,000 deaths from motor accidents
last year, he said.
After thorough investigation Of
the problem, and a careful examin-
alton of the records of some 100000
accidents, Mr.. Cox has prepared a
table showing that registration and
examination Of all drivers is the only
method of stopping the rising num-
Der Of traffic casualties.
In Maryland, Massachusetts, and
Connecticut, where strict supervision
Of drivers is maintained, casualties
have fallen off percent, while in
creasing AZ percent over the country.
According to Mr.. Cox's figures, there
would have been 1890 fewer deaths
from AUTOMOBILES in 1922 had the
