VERMONT AvIAToRS WANTED.
Burlington Recruiting Office to Offer 0p-
portunity.

Burlington, July l3.-A chance for
Vermont boys to enter the navy as avia-
tors will be offered by the Burlington
recruiting Office for that branch of the
naval service beginning next week. The
navy has found the airship great help
in fighting submarines, as well as for
scouting purposes and their use against
the underseas boat will probably be in
creased as improvements extending the
time which the airship may sustain itself
over the water are constantly being
made.
Eight landsmen for machinists' mates
will be enlisted at the local Office and
sent to Pensacola, Florida, for an Is
months course at the naval aviation
school there. A qusrtermaster must be
had for every mschinist's mate, but the
order to enlist these has not yet been
received. The mschinists must all be
over 2l years old, and have good ability
and satisfactory references. They will
be trained as flying mechsnicians and
besides knowing all about the mechanics
of an sirship will be trained to act as
pilots in case their own pilot is killed
while they are in the air. The quarter
masters are trained as pilots and OBJ
servers, but must also know something
about an sirshiP's engine.
Carl s. Sterns of Middlebury, who en-
listed a short time ago as a landsman
for musicians and has since been at his |
home awaiting orders, was called into

SIX MORE CASES.
Have Been Reported to State Board Of
Health.

Burlington, July lS.--Six cases of pol.
iomyelitis, five where the patient had
been sick for time, although the case
had not been officially diagnosed as pol
iomeylitis, and one new case, were re-
ported yesterday to the Office of the sec
retary of the state board Of health The
new case was in Websterville, which is
part of Barre Town, and the other new
cases were four in Montpelier and one
in East Montpelier. No new cases were
reported in Chittenden county. The Rich
mond board of health has closed all mo-
tion picture theatres, dance halls, shows,
etc, in addition to the quarantine which
they established Wednesday. The Shell
burne board of health has ordered that
all children under Is years of age, com
ing from poliomyelitis infested districts,
state, shall be qusrantined for two
weeks.
Isolated cases scattered throughout the
state are thought to be inevitable This
is because many people left inflicted dis
tricts before the outbreak had devel-
oped sufficiently for the authorities to
know where to establish a quarantine,
and carried germs of the disease with
hem. DIR. Edward Taylor, who returned
yesterday from Montpelier, went to
Richmond, where the only case in Chit
.auden county had been found but re-
,orted no new developments.

WOUNDED IN ABDOMEN.
Man Was Washing Women's Apparel in
Brook at Rutland.

Rutland, July l3.-John Stenoski, a
Russian Pole, dazed and suffering from a
self inflicted abdominal wound, was dis
covered yesterday afternoon washing
blood stained garments in small stream
which crosses Curtis avenue near the
Rutland railroad crossing. In response
to telephone message from Curtis ave.
nue., Officer s. G. Warren and Special
Officer Orrin r. Packard found the man
beside the brook and took. him to the
station. There DR.. r. II. Gebhardt tenn
porsrily dressed the wound and took the
victim to the Rutland hospital, where
DR.. William Stickney attended him.
One of the curious things about the
case is that the wounded foreigner was
dressed partly in women's garments.
The laundry work in progress at the
brook when he was interrupted by the
officers was on women's apparel, the
clothing that was taken with the man to
the station including dresses, nightgowns
and fancy lingerie from some of 1hich
the price tags had not been removed.
The mans wound was found to be a
serious one, six or seven inches in length
and half an inch deep. In his pockets
were found pocket knife, discolored |
with blood, and a small bottle full of
carbolic acid which had been purchased
at drug store in Pittsford. The acid
had been used on the wound, the flesh
having been burned by it. Near the
fresh cut are the plain scars of an old
wound
Stenoski's only explanation of his
plight was that he fell on. the railroad
track. 1t is thought that he is of un-
sound mind and that he attempted to
take his life.
