STATES POOR SHOWING
Percentage of Vermont Young Men
Physically Unfit Is 1882

The results of the selective draft exam
nations in Chittenden county to date
show that practically 449 of 1888 regis
trants examined by Dr. Lyman Allen,
examining surgeon of the local board Of
exemption, and assistants, were physi-
cally unfit for service in the national
army. These figures were furnished the
Free Press on request Thursday by DR..
c. J. Russell, the chairman of the local
board.
DR.. Russell incidentally stated that
those figures We're confined to regis
trants in class one only, as registrants
in other classes have not yet been put
through the medical examiners test.
He was of the opinion that the ratio
would be higher when the result of the
examinations of the other registrants
was learned.
These figures. which tend to show that
Vermont registrants are nearly 80 per
cent. inefficient physically. agree in a
manner with magazine article in a
current monthly which places this State
45th in the list of States having men
physically unit for military service.
According to the magazine article. the
State at the bottom Of the list is Penn
sylvania, with 1857 physically unfit. Con-
necticut follows with 1880 and Vermont $
percentage Of reflections is 1882. Maine
lie slightly better than Vermont, with
a percentage of 42.57.
The States having the lowest percent
age OF men physically UNIT are South
Dakota lab; Nebraska 20.l5; Wyoming
21.52, and Oklahoma 2203
The causes Of rejection showed as the
chief source Of defect, the eyes and the
teeth. There are % other causes for
| rejection given, one ill-defned or not
specified, and one not stated.

The 'malarlai MOSQUITO rarely

particularly painful. Now to
prevent malarlaI you can readily
see the only logical thing to do
is first destroy the breeding and
harborlng places of mosquitoes
then have treated the patients
who have chronic malaria or who
are malarlal carriers. A proper
way to treat the breeding places
is to drain all surface water that
can be drained practically, then
to oil with crude or kerosine oil
during the summer months all
barrels. buckets. ponds, bitches.

The proper amount of oil to be

membering that one nunce OF oil
is sufficient to OIL fifteen square

II. G. WellS'S Novel of English Education

Mr.. Witwer's vocabulary seems TO carry
upon it the smell of the laboratory, as
though it were the product of deliberately
prosecuted research. Sometimes the meta
phors seem related to the pretentiously
spontaneous phrases with which the Rev.
William Sunday blazed his trail. No mat
ter how much calculation there is in them,
they do the work-when properly deliv-
cred. They jog the mind dulled by con-
vention. They take us by surprise and
so disarm resistance.
But the inventors of these phrases get
too fond of them and overwork them.
In Mr.. Witwer's story Of the war in base
ball terms, for example, anything big is
so sure to be bigger than Boston that
after while it becomes as ilsyorless as
a steady diet of baked beans. Anything
that moves fast is "fastcr' than tele-
gram" But-how big is an English
"queen"7 "Nearly every one of them is
as big as dollars worth of boiled rice"
Even at war time prices, that means guam
tity.
There isn't anything more American
than baseball, and We don't see how any,
thing could be much more basebally than
this stuff of Witwer's. The spirit of our
American soldiers is in these letters. It's
a sort of writing that calls for speed;
and speed is no good without control. Mr..
Witwer has both. Whether sliding them
down the groove or cutting the corners
of the pan he has something on it all the
time. There's a nice little story, too, in
these lively letters Of Ed Ha1non's, and
lot about 'Ma Cherie,' which is French
for "Oh, you kid!'

Sweet, simple, lovable Ellen

thing more than interesting
