So many have been employed since the draft a Be was lowered from 20 to 18 that Miss Kath arine Lenroot, chief of the chil dren's bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, recently announced: "In the one month of June, 1942, approximately 10 0.00 0 boys and girl between 14 and 18 years of age received em ployment certificate for work; about 18,000 were 14 or IS years of age. The last months have swelled these numbers by thou sands. Work In Many Phases Children who would normally be In the ninth and tenth grade at school are working in : ta- chine shops, furniture and shoe factories, manufacturing of ma chine tools, canneries, garment factories, airplane factories, and cash-register manufacturing, a check made by th employment service in Ohio reveals.

I've oeen hoping I'd run across aomeone who would work along with me more as a friend than a an architect employed at so much per lob. When can I see th drawings -and plans you're oeen working on?" "I ought to have them to snap wltnlo a week or so." "Then you must bring them over to my place." "I d like eery much to do that -Or better still." said IrU. "bav lunch In town with me on day soon.

Lorls will understand." said Carey "Good I rd hat to have her fed 1 was disrupting your schedule." Carey said nothing to this. Re thought of that tangled web about which Lorls had spoken It wasn't going to be easy to work with Iris Wrenshaw If she kept alluding to hb marriage, thinking all the while that it was the real thing It would be a strain to keep up th pretena . . THE trip to Jones Beach and back took longer than they nad anticipated It waa close to seven o'clock when they Anally returned to Pottersplace. "Thanks lor everything." said Carey, climbing out of the car. Irb held out her hand "Here's hoping we accomplish lot to gether" Then, she added softly. "You and L" When she had driven away.

By CLUYA3 WILLIAMS A.gE'JZj?m tA m i Dsawiii; e U.S. URGESTFORCES IN ITSjlSIORY Army Approaching Five Mil lionNavy Has Million Other Units 300,000 Men. B7 Reuel S. Moon United Press Correspondent. Washington (U.R) One year after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor precipitated it in to war, the United States has the largest fighting forces in its history. The Army today is approach ing the 8.000,000 mark. The Navy numbers 1,000,000 men. The Marine Corps, Coast Guard ana other protective forces take another 300,000. for a total of about 6,300,000 men. By the end of 1943. according to Presi dent Roosevelt, this total will be ',700,000. Thus in one year of war the country has built up its fighting services to the point where their strength exceeds substantially their strength on Armistice day. Nov. 11, 1918, after 19 months of World war I. On that date the Army numbered 3,673,888 men. Total fighting forces mo bilized in the last war were ,355,000 men. Speed with which the fighting machine has been built up can be Judged by recalling that on June 30, 1940, the Army Na tional Guard and Reserves to uted only 652,516. By Sept 30, 1941, this number had risen to ,893,896. And in the first year of war this total was more than trebled. In 1941 the regular Navy personnel numbered 213,360 of ficers and men, plus Navy mili tary and state organizations to taling 70,517. Million Men Overseas Nearly 1,000,000 American fighting men already are over- seas, about three times as many as were sent to France in the corresponding period of the last war, and the figure Is growing rapidly. The first World war was one year old on April 6, 1918, when little more than 329,000 men had been transported overseas. Thus the movement overseas in this war has been at a rate nearly three times as rapid as in the last war. At the close of the last war, the American Expeditionary Force numbered 981,701 men, including 32,385 Marines. But not only Is the present army strong in numbers. Brig. Gen. R. F. Fowler, chief of the supply division in the office of the chief of engineers, recently said: The United States has today the -largest and best equipped army in its history." He was speaking of the pow erful array of American planes going into action in world the aters Boeing Flying Fortresses and Consolidated four-motored bombers, Douglas, North Amer ican and Martin twin-engined bombers, and fighters like the twin-motored Lockheed P-38 Lightnings, the single-motored turtiss P-40 series,, the North American P-51 Mustangs and the Republic P-47 Thunderbolts.

AW tanks which performed so well in the African desert, where they were recently joined by the newer and better General Shermans. He was talking about a whole series of mobile weap ons and about various vehicles of transport from Jeeps to land ing barges. It Is impossible, for security reasons, to scale precisely the tremendous growth in the Army's supply of weapons. In general, it is known that air-. plane production has passed 5.000 planes a month, and the production for the year will approach near the 00,000 goal first advanced by President Roosevelt. A measure of the country's air armaments is given by the fact that the Army Air Forces personnel now is estimated to number around 1,000.000, com pared with less than 200,000 before Pearl Harbor. The Army's armored strength is indicated by the fact that nine new armored divisions were ac tivated during the year, whereas only five existed at the close of 1941. And 31 new Infantry di visions were created during the year, as well as two new air borne divisions. Naval expansion has kept pace.

But all officials concerned have voiced high praise for shipyards and ship builders and their record of turning out warships ahead of schedule. Congress acted speedily after Pearl Harbor to enable the Navy to expand the fleet to meet war needs. On Dec. 23, 1941, it ap proved legislation authorizing a blanket increase of 150,000 tons In the fleet's total. Last May 13, it passed a bill authoriz ing 200,000 tons of new sub marines. And on July , it au thorized 1,900,000 tons of new warships, practically doubling the fleet's authorized total ton nage. The last authorization pro vided for 500,000 tons of air craft carriers, 500,000 tons of cruisers, and 900,000 tons of de stroyers and other escort vessels. BEFORE T. R. Sacramento, Cal. (U.R) The State Department of Motors and Vehicles made a record-breaking total of $4,647,210 in fines against traffie violators in 1941. The report showed that more. than 564,194 motorists were convicted of infractions of traf fie laws during the year. Dur ing the last eight years, the state has collected $20,510,707 in traffic fines.
