Private Howe says that his second

him four Huns which he had captured

from Commissioner of Health b. f.

Many Vacancics-Fifty-e eight va
cancies exist on the State Police
force, the largest %'lmber since the

is very largely due to men entering
military service when terms of en-
listment expire and to the fact that
the class of men from whom the
police have been recruited are now
in the army. Some of the recent
recruits are men almost forty years
of age, but they are physically mt.
The state has lately commissioned
a large number of members of the
volunteer police for the period OF
the war, these men being subject
to call from local or state author
tiles.
Getting Data-Employers through
out Pennsylvania are being asked
by the State Commission in charge
of the study of health insurance
and by the State Chamber of Com
merce to furnish data regarding the
effects of influenza upon their work
ing forces. The State Chamber some
time ago. addressed a series of ques-
tions to large concerns in its men,
bership asking the effects of absent
men upon product, the percentage
due to illness and other causes and
special inquiries have been made
regarding the results of the influ-
enza epidemic. The experience of
the state government is also being
taken as many men on the State
Highway, Health and other forces
were affected and not a department
or bureau at the Capitol escaped.
Much of the field work was inter-
rupted.
Boards Hard Hit-Local draft
boards in western and northwestern
Pennsylvania have been seriously
affected by influenza, their exper-
fences being, if anything. more
severe than those of boards in
the eastern part of the state accord
ing to reports reaching here. Prac-
tically all of the medical members
of boards have had to abandon
their draft work to care for the
sick and physical examinations have
been interrupted. In spite of this,
the classification of September IL
registrants has made good progress.

emergency hospitals established by
the state government have been
