JOBS FOR DISABLED TANKS.

An executive order recently issued by the PreAdent and received by cable amends the Federal civil-ser- vice rules so as to permit the U. S. Civil Service Commission to waive the physical requirements under certain conditions in favor of men who were injured in the military or naval ser vice.
 The civil-service regulations specify certain physical defects which debar from all examinations and other de- fects which will debar from certain examinations. These regulations are based upon the requirements of the service as established by the several department heads.
 Upon the recommendation of the Commission. after consultation with the Federal Board for Vocational Ed 1ication and tho T.. S. Employees Compensation Commission, the Presi- ''-~t issued an Executive Order. as follows:

 In submitting its recommendation to the President the Civil Service Commission said: Where 1t is ap- parent to this Commission that his (the disabled soldiers, sailors. or Iarine's) physical condition Is such that he would not ordinarily be ac- cepted the case will be referred to the Federal Board for Vocational Ed ucation.

Paradise
 Lawn
THE REASONS

FIRST-Because. Lots can be bought now at Before War Prices-But an advance is inevitable. SECOND-Because Paradise Lawn is but stones throw from all the new and gigantic industries recently To- cated in Stratford. THIRD-Because, 1t is easily reached from either of the Stratford Street car lines-(6 cents fare). FOURTH-It is also quite accessible from all the East Side Bridgeport Industries and is right on the natur- al line of growth and development both for Stratford and for Bridge port.

atty may operate with serious conse-
quences, if the pending prosecutions
finally go against the dealers.
How seriously the public would be
afected by a revocation of the IL
censes of the dealers who are said TO
handle three-fourths of the milk
brought into Washington only can be
conjectured
1t is significant that dairynen have
openly justified their patronage OF
unlicensed farms on the ground that
the demand for milk in the District
cannot be met by the supply from
licensed farms
Prosecutions Will Proceed.
Whatever may be the consequences
of prospective second convictions, As
sistant Corporation Counsel Wahly
proposes to proceed with all the milk
prosecutions with as little delay as
possible. The health department yes
terday swore out informations
against two more distributors. This
increases the number of such cases
awaiting court action to fifty.
Two cases against Corbin Thompson
and one against H. L. Black are
tomorrow. Cases against John w.
Gregg. J. J. Bowles. William A. Simp-
son and Charles 6. Dade have been
set for April 9. In the latter pleas Of
not guilty already have been entered
and jury trials demanded. In the case
of H. L. Black. motion to Quash was
denied and motion for a bill Of par
ticulars was overruled in part and
sustained in part.
Mr.: Wahly stated today that he
would employ all means at his COM
mand to prevent delays in the trial of
the cases.
Many Cases Pending.
In the office of Assistant District
Attorney Ralph Given at Police Court
there are pending for trial 126 in
formations against milk dealers for
violation of the pure food act and
which will be tried, il they ever are,
in tie United States branch of the
court. as the Charges are based en-
of the pure food act Of Con-
E,ess in that the milk dealers sold
milk that was not up to the standard OF
Purity and of sufficient butter fat to
meet the requirements of the law.
inesc cases have been pending since
1916 and will not be feard until ssve-
raj cases have been determined that had
been passed upon by the Police Court
three years ago and which were ap-
pealed to the District of Columbia Su-
termine whether the law under which
the prosecutions were originally brought
is constitutional.
The higher court, Mr.. Given says.
has not passed upon these appealed
cases. and until such time as that is
done the 1.6 cases in his hands will
not come to trial.
These cases are separate and apart
from thirty or forty cases that the
health department has made against
milk dealers for bringing into the
District of Columbia milk without the
necessary health department license
and impure milk or milk that has not
been properly handled in transit or
while in the hands of the dealers.
They are, it is understood. being held
up until the upper courts pass upon
appeal cases that have been taken to
the higher court, the question of the
right of the District of Columbia
health authorities to act in such
cases being at issue.
