That the form of license did not change the ear except as it was used for public service Daaj meas.
 IL was argued that Mir. Ryan's xifc, for instance. would have legal right to drive the car in getting about. with only her individual drivers license. and that the same applied to the de- fendnnt Swanson, who merely borrow ed the car and was not paying for itz use nor carrying passengers for hire

SUNSHINE FOR CHILDREN.

Children need plenty of sunshine and fresh air During these hate faii days when there is a suggestion af winter in the air children should net be allowed lo remain in the house bg the warm freside The nlaying out of doors is condn vs fa health Warm sweaters and mittens will hcip Go keep the cold out and thus children can play with perfect freedom in any weather. Children who are thus allowed Co play out in the open each day come in for their meals with glowing cheeks and laughing eyes. and are healthy in the extreme. The little children who are allowed to take their morning or af- ternoon nap on the porch, are like wise healthier. because they have had plenty of air and sunshine during this time.
 Such factors in health are discussed at the We'll Child Conferences which are held monthly in Putnam. The con ference this month will be on Tuesday afternoon. December 1, in the High School auditorium, from ? to 1 o'clock.

The largest crowd of the Putnam High school football season saw the fast local eleven hold kiilingly High scoreless and win 27 to victory over their keenest rivals, on the Put. nam High school gridiron, Thanksgiv. ing day morning. With this victory closing the season. Putnam High brought to an end it's 1925 schedule unbeaten in any of the eight games il has played In only three of the eight games were the Putnam warriors scored upon. Webster scored twice Warwick was able to cross Put. nams goal line once. This is one of the finest records ever made by a high school football team in the state and is unequalled in eastern windham county.
 Praise Coach and Captain
 Coach Smith. sub-master at the school, and Captain Valentine, in fact the whole team, are being congratulat- ed and commended for the excellent showing made While some of the best players are seniors there will be enough players from this champion ship team remain al the school next year to form the nucleus of another fast eleven.
 An undefeated football team in this city is deserving of some sort of recog- milton and doubtless something will be done iu honor of the team in the near future.
 While WinsloN and Valentine were the outstanding players of the 1925 eleven, they were ably supported in every division of the line. Alaslow s neetness of foot and Valentines su- perb blocking was a combination thai was q factor tH many run and ground gaining. it IS understood that the Hi-Y Club Is already preparing to banquet the championship team.
 Developed In Four Years
 For years there was no football at the Putnam High school The first team after the long lapse of inactivity in this sport WAS put in the field four years ago. In the past four years de velopment has been fast and substan- tial until the evolution of this cham pionship, undefeated team of 1925. The 1925 Putnam High school eleven has set a record that 1t may be some years before it is surpassed or even duplicated. It was not beef that won the games for Putnam; the team was often outelassed in weight, but line of football played with the head as we'll as the body.
 The record of the 1925 team is as follows:
