SOLDIERS DIVE MAY
CAUSE Ills DEATH
Richard Fredette Of MiddIebury
Has Slight Chance Of Recovery
Believed His Neck is ereken-ls az
Post Hoapital

Surgeon Major Dewitt at the Post
hospital at Fl. Ethan Allen said over
the telephone this noon that the condi-
ton Of Richard Fredette Of Middlebury,
member Of Co. !, lst VI, Infantry, who
was injured in diving in Lake Cham
plain last Sunday, remained the same,
but that little hope was left for his re-
covery. He still remains paralyzed 1t
is believed his neck is broken. The sur
geons at the hospital performed sue
cessfully an operation for the removal
of part of the Vertebrae Of the neck,
but this has not relieved the paralytc
condition.
Soldier Fredette, who is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Fredette of Middlebury,
sustained his strange injury while
swimming at McGiIlgan's ferry, at
Crown Point, n. Y, last Sunday. The
young man, who was on a short leave of
absence, and a party Of friends had
been to Crown Point for a days outing
and had started on the return trip, but
missed the ferry-boat and while waiting
for the boat to return went in bath
ing.
There was another ferryboat moored
along side the dock and Fredette ran
the length of the boat and dove into the
water which was only about three feet
deep, striking his head on the lake bot
tom His spine was injured so badly az
to paralyze his legs from the hips,
His friends succeeded in getting him
out of the water Medical aid was
summoned ana Fredette was placed in
the automobile of +. G.. Hunt of Mid
dlebury and taken to the home of his
sister, Mrs. Arthur Bisette.
The authorities at Ft. Ethan Allen
were notified and an ambulance from
the fort arrived and took Fredette to
the fort hospital

SUMNER SESSION IS ENDING
Hlghly Successful Season for the
French, Spanish and Eng
lIah Schools

The Ninth Summer Session at Mid
debury College concludes its work to-
day h. al, departments except the Ger
man school, which opened week later
than the other schools, and which will
continue another week, The season
has been a highly successful one the
207 students enrolled having been the
largest attendance in the history Of the
schools, Fifty-one colleges and uni
versites and six normal schools have
been represented among the students.
Director Raymond Mcfarland was
particularly fortunate this year in OBJ
tanning department heads Of the highest
standing, maintaining the prestige
which Middebury has of being one of
the most efficient language schools In
the country. The direct method of
teaching, with its compulsory contin-
dous use Of the foreign tongue during
the six weeks session, has been the
feature Of the language departments,
Added to this have been frequent lee
lures of great educational value with
hikes and picnics and entertainments of
various sorts for social relief.
Dr. de la Jarrie, head of the French
department, has been accorded high
praise for his work, His recital last
Sunday evening of LES Cathedrals,
and his weekly lectures in French have
been notable features of the French
study.
The Spanish School has been equally
fortunate in having Seniors Lacalle and
Marte as lecturers. Each week they
have presented illustrated lectures on
Central and South America and their
Spanish classes have been the largest
department of the session.
The Music Department, under the
direction of Miss Hayden and Mr.. Shaw
has perhaps contributed most to the
entertainment of the townspeople, MIR.
Shaw having given public organ reel,
tails each week in the Chapel, assisted
on several occasions by vocal students.
Excellent work was done and keen
interest was taken by the young MEM
bels of the Junior Demonstration classes
which were in charge of Miss Mary G.
Coleman, director of Physical Educa-
ton, Miss Gladys Lott, instructor in
Dramatic Art, Fraulein Meta Harms of
the German school and Mile. Saunier in
French.
The teaching staff was composed of
very congenial and competent instruc-
tors and the work done by the students
has been of excellent quality. The
students are enthusiastic in praise over
the superior advantages offered at Mid
dlebury during the summer session.
An instance to the point, being the
course in Ameri III Literature offered
b. Doctor Abernethy, which is regard
ed as one of the best to be had at any
institution. Much credit is due Direc-
tor Mcfarland for the success of the
session which is generally considered
the best ever held at Middlebury.

A strenuous three days session of
the Addison County Draft Selection
Board ended last evening, with the re-
suits shown by the figures in the fore
going table, and with the individual
action in each case as shown in the fol-
lowing columns of The Register
The net result has been that out of
246 men called, only Sc of those found
physically fit by the doctors have been
recorded as filling no claim for ex.
emption'. Sixty-siX of those found
fit filed claims, most of them seeking
their discharge because they had wife
or child dependent upon them for sup
port. These claims will have to be
supported by affidavts, which must be
filed within ten days, when the local
board, consisting of Allan T. Calhoun,
chairman, Rufus Wainwright, clerk,
and DR.. Charles H. Dean, physical eX-
aminer, will determine the justice of
these exemption claims.
If only a third of these claims are
allowed this will net only % men,
which added to the Sc who have filed no
claims, will make total of 10 men
who have passed the first stage of the
drafting process. Addison County's
required quota of soldiers for the army
is 1913, and the Local Board today felt
certain that it would have to call
another lot of men up for examination.
Just how many men will have to be
called, and just when they shall be
called, is not decided, and cannot be
until the exemption claims now on file
have been considered, and that will be a
matter of ten days or more, at least.
The action taken in each individual
case at the Court House this week has
been as follows:
Harry N. Bostwck of Bristol
Rejected on first physical examination. two
doctors concurrng.
2-James A. Goodyear of Hancock
Rejected on first physical examination, two
doctors concurring.
3-William H. White of New Haven
Accepted on first physical examination.
Has filed claim for discharge because he has
wife or child dependent on him for support.
4-Malcolm B. Douglass of Shoreham
Accepted on first physical examination.
Has filed claim for discharge because he has
wife or child dependent on him for support,
5-Michael Lucas of Middlebury
Alien. Physical examination deferred, pend
ing consideration OF exemption status.
6-Francis E. LaMarque of Shoreham
Accepted on first physical examination.
Has filed claim for discharge because he has
wife or child dependent on him for support
7-Lucius C. Barrows of New Haven
Already in United States military or naval
service and therefore not subject to examination
in connection with this draft.
Sired M. Hagadorn of Ferrisburg
Accepted on first physical examination.
Has filed claim for exemption because he is
minister of religion.

THOUSANDS OF LAKE PERCH DIE
Shores of Champlain are Lined
With Fish

A high death rate among the perch in
Lake Champlain is reported by campers
along the shore. One man, who has
a cottage on the Maquam road, near St.
Albans, says that for several days the
shore in front of his cottage has been
lined with the dead fish. The same
condition is reported from other sections
of the lake. By some fear is held that
the fish were killed by the lightning
striking the water during the many
recent storms while others think the
fish are victims of some disease.

Orange Juice for Babies

ONE class of cases In which orange Juice
" is almost indispensable is those most
unfortunate and suffering Of nortals---the
bottle-fed babies. Usually fed on p1steur-
lied or sterilized milk, these unhappy little
ones seldom fail TO show married evidence
of malnutrition, They are, indeed, not in
frequently victims of scurvy, ricketts, or pei
lasra. The Investigations OF Funk McCol-
lum and many others have shown that the
emaciation, weakness, arrest Of growth and
general malnutrition In such cases is due
TO absence from their food of the essential
"vitamines."
A few years ago the fortunate dlscov-
cry was made that orange Juice contains
elements needed to supplement the bottle
fed baby's dietary resulting in immediate
resumption of growth and q speedy return
to health. This remarkable transformation
may occur not only In human infants, but
in young animals upon whom the orange
Juice feeding experiment has been often re-
peated.
Every infant fed on sterillzed milk or
artificial infant foods--in fact, every in
fant fed from nursing bottle--and other
children who are not doing well should
receive daily not less than four ounces of
orange Juice to supply necessary vitamines

Dear Madam--AIy hair is slightly red and I
would like TO know how can bleach IL 10 a

You cannot bleach your hair from red to
brown. II is brown hair that turns red
when II is bleached Why touch your hair
at all? The color of ones locks is very
unlmportant, especially when you're a man.
It's yourself that celnts. If you try to
touch up your hair, and dye Is the only
thing that will work the miracle Of turning
red TO brown, you will have to keep on
touching" all the rest Of your days.
Some day perhaps you1l be on a desert
island and won't have any hair dye What
will you do then? Be sensible and let well
enough alone.

There Is no such thing as skin food The
skin Is not a stomach. II cannot be fed by
rubbing anything upon It or into It. The
skin is breathing organ and an excreting
organ. The skin throws things out and
takes very little in. It win take in moisture

circulation of the skin and thus helps its
nutrition. When natural oil Of the skin Is

CD The idea often used for the children,
Jack Horner pie, would answer your pur-
pose very well. Place large, round open
box in the center of the table and cover Il
with pink crepe paper. Make sixteen good
sized roses of the paper and arrange them
with favor attached to each in the center
of the boxl to give the appearance of a
bowl full Of roses, Tie bow of pink baby
ribbon around the stem OF each rose and
bring the other end Of the ribbon out TO
each place. Tie a tiny bow at this end
around spray of fern and one or two small
pink roses and lay them I'm front of each
plate. AS supper is finished let each guest
pull his or her ribbon and rescue the favor
tied at the end.
II you know the guests very we'll buy
some cheap little things at the lve-and.ten-
cent store and write an appropriate verse
with each favor. For instance one girl is
fond of dancing Give her a tiny pair OF
dolls slippers. Another has many admirers
Give her a small wrist watch and write
with IL: Though time indeed for you NAV
have no part p'raps twere we'll 10 put a
watch on your heart"
These simple little things are often a
cause OF much fun.
