New Trial Granted
Bechard VS.. Waterville,
Fairfield & Oakland Ry.

A rescript recently handed down
by Justice Deasy, grants the motion
of the defendent company, for q
new trial in the cases of Celanire
Bechard VS.. Waterville, Fairfield and
Oakland Railway and of Frank Be-
chard VS. Same. The plaintiffs were
awarded the verdict in trial for
damages caused when Mrs. Bechard
was hit by a car of the defendent
company and a motion for new trial
was entered by the defendent. The
rescript says:
The evidence shows that the plain
! tiff (Mrs. Bechard) seeing trolley
car approaching her, aboit as fast
as an ordinary walk, fully realizing
that if it moved faster it would over
take her, assumed that it would
maintain it's slow speed, and acting
upon that assumption stopped to
close and latch a heavy gate, walked
diagonally to the crossing and step

Of the on-coming trolley car without

CHILD LABOR GAINS AS COURT
 UPSETS LAW

V Washington, Dec 1.-Following the annullment of the child labor law by the United States supreme court, the errl- ployn1ent of children has increased, was the report of representatives of 25 or ganizations comprising the permanent conference for the abolition of child la bor, which met in A. F. of L. building.
 President Gompers presided at the meeting. The need for an amendment to the federal constitution was again stressed and 1t was agreed to have the following amendment introduced in both branches of the coming congress:
 ''The congress shall have power to limit and to prohibit the labor of per- sons under Is years of age, and power is also reserved to the several states to limit and to prohibit such labor in any way which does not lessen any limitation of such labor or the extent of any pro- hibition thereof by congress"
 There is no question that should ap- peal to the hearts and minds of the peo- pie of our country like that of protect ing children from exploitation" said President Gompers after the meeting.
 "The members of the permanent con- ference for the abolition of child labor have organized for the purpose of inn pressing upon members of congress that the constitutional amendment should be approved by congress so that this most lIn-American policy can be abolished"

NEW FEDERAL BUREAU AIMS TO
 uGHTEN HOUSEWIVES WORK
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 1.-The new Bureau of Home Economics ir the United States Department o1 Agriculture is planning to make the lot of the housewife easier by labor saving devices.
 House planning specialists have been making a study in many states for the purpose of aiding the women of the household to rearrange their kitchens so as to make them more convenient. Many labor-savings de vices have been recommended and kitchens have been re-arranged so as to save an enormous amount of work
 The Bureau of Home Economies believes 1t Is quite as important both from the standpoint of economics and from the. standpoint of personal health. and contentment to have the work of the house made easy as 1t Is to have the working conditions in the factory and on the farm frightened as much as possible.
 This bureau was recently created b ythe U. s. Department of Agri- culture under authority granted by the last session of Congress! The program to be carried on by the bu- Teau IS now. EOe1nS WOTkoQ out ana will appear in the budget to be pre- sented at the next session, at which time appropriations to carry on the work for the fiscal year beginning July Ist next will be requested.
 Under the old office of Home Eco monies under the department studies in nutrition, food preparation and other problems were being pursued. This work is being continued. The new bureau, however, will lay stress upon home management and will un- dertake research work in various lines affecting the welfare as well as the material prosperity of the household
 One of the, fields contemplated for research work deals with the subject of clothing and textiles. Tn speaking of this work, Dr. Louise Stanley, chief of the new bureau, recently said:
 The factors entering into cloth ing costs are not sufficiently estab- 1ished. In addition to guiding women in their clothing expenditures, bet ter knowledve of clothing costs on the part of the women who buy should help stabilize and standardize the

clothing industry. Frequently in formation is not available to the housewife to help her in choosing textile materials and clothing that will give the greatest amount of service.
 Tn connertion with the Division of Foods and Nutrition there will be all expansion of the studies already under way. The housewife is being urged on all sides, through advertis- ing and merchants, to increase her food consumption along various lines. What she needs most Is standards which will guide her in selecting her food wisely in spite of conflicting statements.
 Looking at problems involved in the selection of household equipment from the point of view of the enor- nous investment each year in such equipment, 1t seems very urgent that something should be done to furnish the housewife with reliable guidance in he purchases. Particular phases of these problems which need imme- diate study. are the efficient heating of the house, the installation of hot water heaters, the comparative econ omy of various types of stoves and refrigerators, and the best arrange ment of equipment in the kitchen. There should be special study di- rected toward the planning of better kitchens in new homes to be built in the future, for no one element in any better homes program can do mere 10 eliminate useless labor than well-r1anned kitchens Laundry equipment also needs studying from the point of view of efficiency Tn cleansing and effect on the wear of clothing"
