RECEIVES COPY OF
 EXEMPTION REGULATIONS
Examining Physician Should be Pre-.
 pared to Deal With Deception.

The examining physician of the To- cal exemption board has received a copy of the regulations governing ex- emptions under the selective draft act. It is pointed out that the examining physician should realize that there are number of men who will en- deavor to obtain exemption by dis stimulation and he should be prepared to deal with such deception. The physical examination should take place in a large well lighted room and the person examined must be stripped.
 Upon recommendation of the pro- vost marshal general, medical off 5ers will be directed from time to time to visit local boards for the purpose of observing the manner in which phy- sicaI examinations are being conduct ed and conclusions based thereon. Such medical officers will be author iZed to re-examine men whom the To- cal boards have found to be physical = ly deficient and not physically quail fled for military service, and will be required to make a report of each such re-examination. The regulations may be modified at any time by the president of the United States.

Broke Into Tailor Shop and Made
 Clean Getaway.

Thieves broke into the tailoring shop of Samuel Korchinsky 28 Montauk avenue, New London, Saturday night and stole 56 suits and several pairs of trousers. The stolen goods amount to about s1,200. Ffftytnree of the suits were new and the other three had been left at the shop for repairs. The trousers that were taken were also new.
 The robbery was discovered by
 James R. May, who passed by the shop and noticed that the paddock had been yanked from the staple and on looking inside saw the entire stock had been removed MT. Korchinsky arrived at the shop soon after Mir. May made the discovery. MT. May sent a call into the police station after notifying the owner.
 MT. Korchinsky rushed into the store on being told that he had been robbed and when he saw that his entire stock had been cleaned out he fell in a faint. His wife appeared on the scene soon after her husband had tainted and when she saw him lying on the floor she too collapsed. MT. May hurriedly summoned a physician and both Mr. and Mrs. ,Korchinsky were revived.
 Patrolman Samuel Hicks was as- signed to the case He found that the paddock had been pried off by tearing out the staple which held the hasp. The marks appear as though a screw driver had been used. Officer Hicks found nothing that would serve as a clue to the burglars. No one could be found who could throw any light on the situation.
 MT korchinsky told the officer that he closed the shop Saturday night about 10 o'clock and remembered snap ping the lock.
 Mir. Korchinslzy came to New London about four years ago with his wife. Up to that time he had lived in Russia, but decided to leave as the Russian police had seized all his earthly pos sessions and horribly ill treated him. He managed to hide enough money to bring himself and his wife to this country On reaching America, he came to New London where he has remained ever since.
