TEMONG THE marvellous construc-
A tive developments of the pres
ent war, none perhaps has been
" " more epochal. and certainly
none has been more striking, than the
stimulus that has been given to the
scientific conversion of human wrecks
into normally functioning human be-
ings.
The aftermath of past wars has
been pituful army of useless, help
less cripples, each of them an eco
nomic liability. an object of charity
The cripples of the present war, ever
so many Of them, are cripples only
for a time. each OF them converted
from an economic liability into an
economic asset, with a chance to come
back into the world of action as a
helpful and constructive unit in So

Human reconstruction, as It is be

France and England, and I'm Canada
and in this country, does not deal witt

is moro than material. An important
element is psychological - moulding
the wounded mans thoughts and out
look on life at the same time that
his manned body is being educated
TO function under radically changed
conditions.
The importance of this co-ordinated
reconstruction OF the mind with the
body was the subject Of Il recent state
ment from the office Of the Surgeon
General in Washington, TO the effect
that many well intentiOned indvid-
uals have offered to take crippled sol

which these offers are made is APP
prociated, said the statement, they
conflict with the policy of the med
zeal department of the army.
Work Starts At Once
From the time a wounded soldier is
taken to the field hospital he is en-
couraged to understand that the ser
iousnees of his wounds win not rem

The work of reconstructing him both
physically and mentally is carried on
simultaneously.

cral 1t is hoped that business men
in general will accept these trained
men on an equal footing with men
who have not been crippled, These
men will receive n training which will
make them competent in the trade
or profession which they elect to fol-
low.
According to the vocational reha-
bilitation act recently enacted by
Congress, those disabled in the mill
tary and naval forces of the United
states have been placed under the
joint authority of the Surgeon-General
of the Army and the Federal Board
for Vocational Education. The sur
geon-General has jurisdiction from the
time the person is injured until he
is restored to good physical condi-

army would be an easy prey to the
enemy equipped with planes unless
IL was suitably fitted out with aircraft
for offensive and defensive operations.
our aircraft production has been
under way for more than year, and
although not as much has been ac-
complished as many had hoped. the
;ask was no easy one. There was
much discussion in reference 20 the
building and some little scandal crept
in. then too. a few spies were discoy-

GRIMES ARRESTS
TWO BURGLARS
IN The DARK
KEYS, STOLEN
LOOT, FOUND ON THEM
Police Believe Tney Have Pair
Responsible for Series of
RObberies.

When Policeman Lawrence w.
Grimes stumbled onto two men
skulking around in the bushes of
the arroyo bed near the Walnut
street bridge early Wednesday
morning, he pounced on them
and placed them under arrest.
The men resisted, but Grimes
finally pulled his gun and sub
dued them, taking them to the
station. They proved to be men
wanted for several "jobs" about
the city, and it is believed by the
officers that still other robberies
will be traced to them.
The men gave the names of
Juan Bayer and Francisco Mex.
On one of them was found mis-
cellaneous lot of loot that has not
yet been identified, and a rubber
stamp stolen from the home OF
L. N. Scott, and bearing his
name. The man has also been
identified as the man who was
seen to secrete a package of
Scott's property in clump OF
bushes several days ago.
When Grimes tried to arrest
the men, one of them started to
run, and when Grimes stopped
him with his gun, the office
saw the fellow drop something
on the ground and try to scrape
the dirt over it.
He searched and found two
skeleton keys, and while nc
stolen goods were found on him
the keys, and his presence with
the other man will make a strone
case against him.
The police are now trying tc
connect the men with the day
light theft of Mrs. Hess's phono-
graph, and believe they will sue
ceed.

ARREST PREWETT
IN SMUGGLING
AFFAIR
AUTO TIRE SAID TO
HAVE CARRIED OPIUM
Man Named Page in Jail at Tue
son in Connection with
Same Case.

Several cans of opium conceal
ed in a spare tire of an auto Tue
son-bound resulted in the arrest
Tuesday of James B. Prewett in
Nogales and of a man named
Page, who was jailed by the
Tucson officers.
1t is said that Page was under
surveillance of the Tucson au-
thorities for some time, on sus-
|picion that he was engaged IL
some kind of illicit business.
Tuesday when he started for
Nogales by auto, the Tucson
ficers phoned to the office of
Sheriff Earhart in Nogales, ask
ing him to keep track of Page.
Deputy Sheriff Clyde Shields
was assigned to the task, an.
when he saw Page stop near the
Sonora Auto company's garage
and after taking a spare wheel
off his machine, calmly trun-
die it into the garage, he became
doubly watchful.
After a time, it is said, Page
trundled the wheel back and fas-
tened it on the rear OF his auto
and then Page and James b
Prewett visited one Of the local
banks. Then Page started for
Tucson.
After phoning the Tucson off

der arrest. When searched, he
was found to have several hun.
dred dollars in cash on his per.
son.
Meanwhile, the Tucson Off.

fifteen miles this side Of Tucson
where they held Page up anc
asked to look over his car.

is said to have responded, with {
nonchalant smile, as he watched
them ransack the vehicle with
out result. But when they fin
ally started to investigate the in
terror of the spare tire, he be
came wroth.
Inside the tire they claim tt
have found several tins of Opium
and Page was taken to Tucson
and placed in the county Jail.

from 18 to 45 years. Under
certain conditions he will urge
that men as old as 55 be made

law.
General Crowder said, how
ever, that the initiative must

Secretary Baker said that h

recommend such action at this
time. The matter is strictly up
to congress, he said.
General Crowder expects to
get 25O,O00 additional men by
re-combing the classifications.
It is believed in certain quar-
ters that congress will order
that an army Of 100000 men
be raised by the end of the year.
The ordnance department is

SOLDIERS TO BE
MADE CITIZENS
ON SATURDAY
AT LEAST 300 EXPECT
TO GET FINAL PAPERS
Must Pass Tests Respecting
Their Loyalty, Moral Char
acter, Literacy.

Fully 300 members of the 35th
United States Regular Infantry
are expected to become full
Ifledged citizens of the United
States next Saturday.
This wholesale production of
United States citizens will be
carried out under the provisions
of law passed by congress on
May 9, 1918, by which soldiers
in the army may become citizens
without the usual delays attend
ing that process for civilians,
and without paying any of the
fees usually charged.
While the law makes it thus
very easy for foreign members
of the army to become citizens,
failure to take advantage of the
law is designed to eliminate
those who do not become citi-
zens, and thus it is expected that
it will result in a thorough sift-
ing of the material that enters
into the fighting forces of the
nation.

TO FIX TAX RATE.
Coming Adjourned Annual. Town Meeting Must Vote Additional Mills

The approaching adjourned annual town meeting will prove of more than passing interest to many residents of Kiiiingly because of the fact that this meeting will be called upon to fix the tax rate cfor the ensuing year. This year, in accordance with the laws of the state. this rate must. be sufficient ly high to meet the appropriations re- quired to maintain the different de- partments Of the town, and there can be no lodging the issue by laying a tax that will not be sufficient to meet the expenditures. Whatever may have been the practice of lodging the is- sue in the past matters little now. This year the matter of getting in enough tax money to meet the appropriations must be met squarely. If the present rate of 15 mills will do it, all well and good. Everybody will be more or less happy. If additional mills are re- quired, they will have to be levied. = There has been much talk over the claim that the distribution of taxation in Killingly is not properly capitalized l'-that some taxpayers pay more than that they should, that others pay less i than they ought.
