First Glass Service.

Ablebodied men over draft age can
be made skilled workers in the training
schools now maintained in many large
factories. and thus enabled to earn good
wages while rendering aid TO the nation
IN its time of need
The war has proved that age is not a
bar to the attainment of efficiency in a
new trade. The man past fifty has come
back TO renewed usefulness in lines OF
work never previously tried, and from
all parts Of the country reports are prov
ing his great possibilities ID aiding most
lines of essential industry.
At the Boardman Trade School in
New Haven, Conn, 3 painter aged 80
quickly learned 10 be an adept machinist
A shirt-ironcr past 45 years OF age in 3
laundry at Bridgeport, Conn, ran screw
machine after three days practice and
produced - per cent moro rapidly than
the estimate made by the maker ot the
machine At the end ol 4 week he Was
taking the machine to pieces, and now
he Is earning 60 cents an hour in regular
production. An enameler Ci the same

the same training room, STAYED i month

The superintendent OF factory in
Worcester, Mass, who has one Of ne
best training schools in the country,
testihes to the success Of older men
Il recently hired man 63 years OF
age, who had been L pattern maker, a
millwright, and stone mason. said he
When applying for Job the man told
me he had alwasys had 'hankering' TO
learn the machInist's trade. We put
him to work In the training department
and he Is making wonderful progress.
His previous training has given him a
good course IN mechanical work, and we
believe that II a short period we ran
make q first-class instructor out OF him
He can help US In training others not

A Cincinnati firm that found it
difficult TO procure boys has substitut-
ed old men with great SUCCESS
These employees are found to be more

ibility, and more punctihous than boys
Most of them are able to get employ

the testimony of emplot ers who have

TALK Of COMBINING
CITY MED|CO JOBS
City Physician and Police Surgeon
May be One Man, if Officials
Agree

The creation of an Office combining
those Of the present city physician and
police surgeon under the auspices OF the
police department, was the subject ot u
lengthy discussion at last nights con-
ference between the police cummlssIo
and members of CITY Council Recently
the city physician applied to Council
for an increase III salary, hIs present
salary being 81 500 Council took no
action at tha: time. bearing IN mind tho
possibility OF combining the Office ot
police surgeon and city physician The
surgeon salary is $3.50 which together
with the 81 500 and perhaps little more
would make q sufficient salary to command
the entire time of one man
The city hoSplt4ls are complaining bat
as conditions are nov they are compelled
20 do far moro work than they arc pistl-
fed III dong for the compensation they
receive and councilmen admit that the
Saturday night cases arc far above that
which the hospital should handle 4
there was a physician always available at
the police station. In light ot these facts
ii Is likely that 4 Capitalization ut the
citys medical force Will bc had With an
office at the police station The fact that
the present police surgeon was engaged

AMBULANCE SYSTEM
MAY Be ALTERED
Plan Considered to Put Police IN
Charge, But May Need
Legislative Action.

II is not unlikely that as soon rs ~,
normal conditions return an effort WIN
be made TO have the police department.
assume charge of the ambulance SYSTEM VI,
now handled by the Phoenix fre 70
Such was the sentiment of a conference
between the Police COMMISSIONER anu
City Council nj the latters informal
COMMITTEES meeting last night. 1T was
pointed out during the discussion that
the police department IS called upon TO
make out-Cf-town calls which the fhunlX
fails To make. and that If the ponce had
charge of the two ambulanceS the patrol
would he relieved for other duties
The commissioners Will take the matter
into consideration and at a later meeting
Council will submit nm estimate of the
cost of running the additional ambulanceS.
II is estimated that u copy of three men
will be- II, ccSsarv for each machine
driver and two men. Some members of
Council suggested that one woman who
knows something OF nursing should be
placed. which may Toe considered in the
program.
In order 10 shift the ambulances from
the fire company's jurisdiction. a matter
which IS much desired by the fire company,
to the city. It may he necessary 10 pass a
measure In the next session of the General
Assembly. as the ambulanceS were orig
inally placed at the fire company's dis
posal by Il legislative act Should such bc
the ease il is expected that the Police
Commission and City Council will have
a definite outline OF their plans TO h<
submitted at the next session of the
General Assembly, CARRYING out the
program accordingly
Immediate transfer of the ambulances
is not expected, as the Police Department
is short of men and would be unable To
command drivers and strctchcr bearers
