LEWISTON DRIVER
HITS CHILD ON
WAY TO SCHOOL

Little Hazel Young, the six-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy
Young of East Winthrop. was
knocked down and badly shaken VI
when hit about $50 o'clock, Wednes-
day morning. by an automobile
driven by Eddie Brochu of Lewis
ton and bearing car license issued
to Joseph Desleury of 63 Maple
street, Lewiston. Other occupants
of the Lewiston car were Ernest
Cauruette and p. Gasrde, both of
Lewiston. 1t is expected that de-
velopments will prove that the Lew
iston driver was not entirely TO
blame for the accident.
The little Young girl was attended
by DIR. Badger of Winthrop and it
was found that she was bruised
about the head and the arms. Later
in the day her mother reported the
child to be in a highly nervous state.
but it is expected that no real seri-
Gus injuries will result.

Lost Martin Boy
Returns in Morning

Alberto Martin, the 13-year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. E. Martin of
10 Gannett street returned to his
home, early Wednesday morning
and was quite unconscious Of the
fact that his family and the Au-
gusta police force has been search
ing for him during the entire night.
He had passed the night with
friends on Arsenal street and
neglected to notify his parents.
When he did not return home at s
o'clock. Tuesday night, his parents
became alarmed and search was
started. At 10 O'Clock the police
were called into I've search.
Because the lad was not out of
doors. 1t was naturally a clueless
search. Needless to say the east
side and the entire city were some
what stirred up, Tuesday night in
searching for the lost lad.

NEWEST BUSINESS, NORTHEASTERN PRESS

With one of the finest locations fol
its work in the New England states
according to the owner and manager
J. Ellery French, the Northeastern
Press, which has recently located
here, is now well under way. .
The business conducted by this
concern is unique in this state. and
there are but few industries of like
nature outside of Boston and vicinity
Briefly stated, this concern takes an
authors manuscript, sets the type,
places the illustrations, arranges the
pages and does everything that is
necessary up to the. time that the
e1ectrotypes are ready for the print
ing presses. -
The Northeastern Press specializes
in book work. and more especially
that type of book work which re-
composition of intricate text books.
It will be quickly apparent that work
Of this sort calls for trained people.
who must be thoroughly familiar
with the various languages, the
higher branches Of mathematics and
the sciences.
For that reason the men and wo-
men employed in the plant undergo
a critical examination before they
are accepted, and must have certain
educational qualifications, according
to the position which they will fill.
The monotype operators must be
high school graduates with a good
knowledge of at least one foreign
language and with thorough ground
work in English. The proof readers
must be college graduates who have
majored in English and who are
thoroughly familiar with one or more
foreign languages.
Mr.. French. who has had long ex-
perience in this class of work, is
well fitted to conduct an establish
ment of this kind and is fully ac.
quainted with the requirements AND
problems of O business of this sort
He intends to employ, as far as pos.

entity. For this reason he Is at the
present time engaged in perfectins
an organization to which it will be
possible to add, from time to time
people with the necessary qualif1ca.
tons. He expects finally to develor
a force Of about 20 people.
The location of this establishment
seems almost ideal, in fact there /.
little wonder. that Mr.. French had
declared it to be one of the finest ir
New England. The Northeastern
Press occupies the entire top floor Of
