Reports at Conference Reveal
 IDSanitary Conditions

Washington, Dec. "A growing concentrated interest ill the prob lens Of unemployment and child labor may give new stimulus to the once widespread agitation for eftec- tive child labor laws.
 The report and recommendation Of a committee on vocational guid- ance and child labor to the White House Conference or Child Health and Protection have come at q time when the country IS paving more attention 10 unemployment than ever before and experts are beginning to point out the effects of child labor both on children and upon work less adults who might otherwise have the jobs now occupied by chill dren.
 More than a million wage earners are between the ages of ID and Is, according to the 1920 census, and 100000 are aged Is and IT. The fact that there are between 3,500.- Qo0 and 6.0Go,0o unemployed per sons proves, according to the anti child labor group, that child labor is not necessary to industry.
 Time Was in this country when children Of eight, nine and 10 years were commonly employed in fac- tories and mines. Glass factory molds were built so low that only small children could crouch between the handles to open and close them for the blowers. Twenty years ago, children of Il, r and @ toiled in lirt-laden air Of cotton mills 10 hours a day or through the night,

 ticut Driving License

When Alex Guttman who gave his address as the Allen Hotel, Torring- ton, parked his car too long on Court street last night and then spent too much time in arguing about the payment of the regular g fee imposed for such violation when he went before Lieutenant William P. McCue, he only succeeded in ar guing himself into trouble. After the lieutenant had listened to the protest of the Torrington man he demanded to see his license and reg istration.
 Guttman produced a Connecticut registration and a New Jersey oper- ator's license. After noticing this dis crepancy, Lieutenant McCue ordered him to appear in court at $50 thls morning. ~to answer to the charge of driving an automobile without a li- cense.
 When the case was called at S: 55 this morning Guttman failed to an- swer. An order was then given by Chief William C. Hart that he be apprehended and brought in and made to furnish bond for his ap- pearance at tomorrows session. At about the same time that the order was issued Guttman walked into the station and announced himself.
 When asked why he had not pre- sented himself on time he answered that he was of the opinion that the city police court was in session throughout the day. He admitted that he had been told the time that he should appear but insisted that he thought there would be no ob jection if he presented himself any | time.
 He loudly protested against post ing d bond of $50 10 insure his be- ing present when next his name is called in court.
