stitutes child labor?' and added T do not consider any young man or woman over 16 years of age child" He stated that many of those who have passed 16 are well developed and are as strong as any grown man. What happens to any young man or woman who graduates from high school under the age of Is years? he asked. The senator add ed that he knew of one particular case where family of 10 children were kept alive after the death of the father, which occurred before any of them had reached l6, by the sole earnings of the oldest. He con- cluded his talk against the bills passage by reminding the senate that many of it's members were at work before they had reached the age of Is.
 Waterbury Courts
 This afternoon the judiciary com mittee of the state senate began a hearing which provides that judges in the city court of Waterbury may appoint any member of the bar association, if that person has been a member for 10 years or more to sit for chem on the bench in the event of their absence for any par ticular reason. Passage of the bill will mean that either Judge John F. McGrath or Judge Edward J. Mas colo will be privileged to select their own deputies.
 If in the event the bill becomes state law, the local practice of making the selection of substitute judges from the neighboring towns such as Naugatilck and Wolcott will be eliminated entirely, and added distinction will be given to local members of the bar association who have pursued their legal pro- fession for years.

 Members of Company c, Con- necticut National Guard, will meet at the Armory tomorrow night at o'clock.
 "Bill" Carroll was one of Water bury's most popular personages. Not only was he an efficient organizer and an inspiring leader, but he had rich sense of humor. Those for tunate enough to be numbered among his close friends could tell much of his sincerity, his trust and of the many sacrifices he made for those whom he liked. His passing, coming suddenly despite his long illness, leaves a void in the commu- nifty. A gentleman, a soldier, and a mans man, he held, and deserved, the respect and esteem of all who knew him.

 Two Big Battleships
 Two 35.000-ton battleships, the Richelieu and Jean Bart, are under construction. The new emergency program envisages two more 35,000- ton ships, 20,O00-ton aircraft car- rier, two first class cruisers, 12 sub marines, three destroyers and other units bringing the probable number of ships on the program to 39, be- sides two new naval aviation squad- ronS.
 Conscript service in the navy has been increased by six months.
 The primary objective of Frances navy is to assure freedom of pass age from her north African empire across the western Mediterranean in the event of war, to provide access to the reservoir of native rnanpower in Tunis, Algeria and Morocco. That pool would tend to offset the sinking birth rate in France.
 Freedom of Seas
 Moreover, freedom of the seas from north Africa and the Mediter- ranean countries and from abroad via the Atlantic is vital because of Frances dependence upon imports for many of the raw materials necessary in modern warfare. Although France possesses inex- haustible resources Of iron, most of

 McGrath claimed that he had besn in Torrington with friends eaIlier in the evening and that the liquor was purchased there by one of the party who is a resident of South Norwalk. He said that the liquor was brought into the premis- es from the car for fear that it would otherwise be stolen.
 Judge Mascolo remarked that other witnesses in the case had tes- titled that the people on the prem ises were disposing of various kinds of drinks and that the presence and position of the bottles and three whiskey glasses were ample evidence for conviction. He then heard the plea of Attorney Spellman and im- posed the sentence.

 Furthermore, France Is largely de- pendent on important metals and minerals such as nitrates, copper, zinc, manganese, nickel and tin, used in munitions manufacturing. She Is greatly inferior to Germany in the chemical industry, although it is being expanded by high tariffs and generous governmental sub- SidieS.
 Halted Iron to Germany
 Recently France halted at least temporarily the export of iron from Lorraine to Germany, where 1t was being used for munitions. The ex- cuse given was the failure of cer- tain transfers of marks into francs under the clearing agreement.
 The armament program in France resulted in the feverish purchase Of metals in January and February, nearly doubling that of the same period last year. Copper imports were 2,5O0 tons, compared to 400 tons last year. France bought from Britain six times the amount of copper scrap as last year.
 Frances whole military doctrine is based on defense of her security. France is Powerful On that basis, taking into account all factors, including her system of alliances, her reservoir of trained reserves and pool of manpower m her Empire of 10O,00o,000," her sup plies of raw materials, her indus- trial organization, her present and rising land, naval and air strength, her immense gold reserves-largest in the world except for the United States-France is at least as power full, for the time being, as any na- ton on the continent.

of physical exertion, you must re-
sort to exercises that will keep
the muscles well-toned and firm.
There are any number of eXer-
ciseS which concentrate on these
important muscles making-or
marring-the line from waist to
knee. If you have the determine
ton and the persistence, you can
work years off your figure-in just
about 20 minutes day!
These are some of the best. and
you will find, on trying these hip
and thigh beautif1erS, that they
also tone the muscles forming the
lower abdominal wall.
Position: CThiS is an old one,
side scissors, but it is hard to
beatD Lying on the floor, on the
side, one arm stretched out under
the head and one leg on top of the
other.
Movement: Swing the legs in
q scissors-ike kick, keeping the
knees straight and kicking as il
your life depended on it. Ten
counts on one side, then roll over
and do 10 more.
Now. roll over on your stomach
and rest for a minute, head pill
lowed on the arms. You're in posi-
ton for the next exercise, and
here's the movement:
Pointing the toes, raise first one
leg and then the other backward
as high in the air as possible with
out bending the knees. The object
is to raise the legs as high and as
forcefully as you can. Six kicks
should be enough for a starter.
Position: Standing erect, on tip
toe, hand graSping chair at side.
The support should be low enough
to permit lowering yourself to the
floor.
Movement: Bend the knees and
separate them as widely as you
can, then extend the leg farthest
from the chair straight out in
front. Return to original position,
turn so that the other hand grasps
the support, and perform from that
side. The movement should be
easy and rhythmical. This eXer-
else uses hip. thigh and leg
muscles.
Keep your figure young by
streamlining the curve of the hip.
