children 1 not within the working age Kldefc brothers going to war are expected to Increase further the wave of applications In nearly all of ths appeals which havs been made to the courts by the parent or parents of children for whom permits ere sought tha chief reason given is the inability of tha alders to support themselveg in view of the Increasing prices of all commodities Vacation that Is permits to work during the vacation from school havs also been numerous and tha requirements for the issuance of such permits are not as strict ms for those desired permanently This Is because of the fact that In many inetancea minors so employed are kept from mischief which often results from continuous Idlenesa In many families however it Is necessary for these children to work In the
