Of course I realize that children must be in some degree guided and restrained. THey do not know what is good for them (Do we know more?”) But T do think this re- straint and guidance could be made a little less obtrusive. I do think that the child need not hear its health perpetually discussed in its presence; and above all, I do feel that the idea of nerves should not bhe instilled into young brains.

Vail, the company’s pres- ident, published today. “Immediately upon declaration of war,” President Vail says, ‘‘prece- dence was established throughout the system for all government service and 12,000 toll operators were speedily trained for this work.” During the past year, the report | shows, there has been a great increase in the telephane service in Washington to handle which it has been necessary to enlarge the switchboard. Several of these are large enough for a city of 100,000 population. For use in the national service, 15,000 miles of toll and 27.000 miles of circuit for telegraph use have been taken from commercial service and de d to the use of the government. The net earnings of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., segre- gated from those of the Bell system, are shown to be $48,940,000, which is $1,197,000 more than for the previous | year. The assets are more than $300,000,000 in excess of outstanding | obligations. Mr. Vail said: “Whatever can be done by the gav- ernment through direct operation can be done more certainly through con- trol and regulation of private opera- tion, thus combining the potentiality of the sovercign with the initiative and interest of the subject.” | 55,000 OPERATORS’ LICENSES. All Drivers Now Required to Have 1918 Permit. Hartford, March 11.—The motor | vehicle department has issued ap- | proximately 55,000 operators’ licenses of all classes, to date. In 1917 a total of approximately 100,000 of all classes were issued so that it now appears that about one-half of the total number to be expected for 1918 have already qualified. The department of has instructed all its officers that every driver is now re- quired to have a 1918 operator's license. Experience has shown that a large number of drivers either forget or neglect to provide themselves with this very necessary document and the department is using every possible means to call attention to this necessity. The department will now accept applications for April 1st registrations and allow the rebate to that date, will issue registrations as of April 1ist and will forward the numbers so that they 1st. motor vehicles enforcement !
