New York. June If tP,-A broad cning demand for stocks character ized the resumption Of the upward movement in today's market. Fears of heavy selling in anticipation Of income tax payments had not ma teriahzed by early afternoon. and apparently little attention was paid to the f,'ther decline in French francs 10 around the lowest level on record. Trading was in large Nounc, averaging over 400,Op0 shares an hour.
 The most important business de yolopment of the day was the an nom cement of an increase Of $2 a ton in structural steel by the Beth lehem Steel corporation. This brought fresh buying into the steel group although L. s. Steel common was subjected to heavy proft-tqling after the extended advance of last week.
 Widespread rumors that the long awaited move in the oil shares would start this week seemed to be on their way 10 fulfllment when brisk buying developed for Pan American B. Maryland and Pan handle producers and rehners. all of which touched new highs on the current recovery.
 Sharp gains also took place in many industrial specialtes, some Of which are believed to be under pool manipulation. General Electric and Dupont each were bid up . points and American Brown Boveri Mont gomcry Ward, Hudson Motors. Mack Trucks and International Harvester all adl lnced ? points or moro.

INCREASE IN TOTAL
 OF CHILDREN HIT
17O7 Struck by Motor Vehicles
 in 1925 in Conn.

A call for action to check the in crease in Connecticut accidents to child pedestrians is sounded by the .state motor vehicle department in the current issue of its bulletin. In the past year l,7O7 children were struck by motor vehicle in this state as against 1854 so struck in 1924. and 104 children were killed by motor vehicles last year. where las the number killed in such acci- dents in 1924 was 7G.
 Pedestrian child accidents are on the increase" say the bulletin. They alone have not known any Of the corrective tendency which, edu- cation has cXerted on all other types.
 The situation is bad" according 10 the motor vehicle department. The question of what can be done about it is not concrcteIy answered. if it is answerablc. Pcssimism as to possible bettermcnt over existing conditions has in fact begun to ap- pear. Bu; on the other hand there is, in Connecticut at least. an army, including all the school forces. po- lice and officials, and all those others who are the closest 10 this problem who have just begun to light"
 In view Of the common knowledge Of the nature Of q child. a motor Nc- hicle operator is charged with a greater responsibility when driving where there are children. He is obliged. in other words, to sec that he so drives his car that they do not gc, in his way, He knows that here is person who has no great capacity 10 take care Of himself, so he must exercise great carc.'
 Parents are reminded of their re- sponsibility to keep constantly cdu- eating their children on how 10 take care or themselves in traffic. and it is held that more care is due
 from older children than younger. IL is a mistaken kindness, in the view Of the department, for an operator to stop and allow children on the way to school to chamber aboard his automobile for a ride. If the chil- dren ought to ride the authorities whose duty it is. or their parents. will see that they do. It is not the duty or even the privilege Of tn" chance passerhy. If the law Of IaI1anes were more generally under stood. and it were realized that to take q gucs; into ones car usually makes the owner responsible for in furv to him. there would be less in viting of chance applicants
 Supervision Of children's play, to
 keep them off the streets while nt play. and the providing of play grounds. ball fields and symnastic apparatus in plenty is recommended as an effective means toward this end.

Bartlett school Needs Repairs

"T have inspected the Bartlett Bartlett School and find that the floors are not stiff enough to per init any gymnasium work on the second floor. Tho spans are too great between bearings, have not been properly bridgcd, which has caused the plaster to crack and be- come loose, this of course would en- danger the children on the floors be- low.
 The front or new part is of mill construction and the beams arc not heavy enough to permit gymnasium work.
 'Woud suggest that the floors in the school rooms be taken up and the floors bridged or otherwise stiff fened. To insure the safety of the children below, tho plaster should be removed and replastcred on met al lath or use a metal ceiling, sheet rock or upson board. the lat ter could be put on over the present ceiling and would not be so eNpen- sive.
