CIVIL SERVICE AIDS SOLDIERS
 NOW CRIPPLED

Washington, D. c. July 2.---United States soldiers, sailors and marines who are injured in the service of their country are receiving special consid- eration at the hands of the United States Civil Service Commission and the Federal Board for Vocational Ed ucation, working in cooperation.
 When the Civil Service Commission receives an application for examina-r ton from a discharged Tank, whose physical condition is such that he would not ordinarily be accepted, his case is referred to the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The Fed eral Board turns the matter over to a field officer who promptly goes out af- ter the man and offers him the ser vices of the Boards organization for special training to fit him for the work for which he has applied, or for some other employment if it does not seem practicable to train him for the work for which he made applica- ton to the Civil Service Commission. Hundreds of such cases have been re- ferred to the Federal Board by the Civil Service Commission.
 Under a recent amendment of tho Civil Service Rules, made on the re- commendation of the Civil Service Commission, the Commission may waive the established physical re- quirements in favor of a disabled and honorably discharged soldier, sailor or marine, upon the certiflcation of the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- ton that he has been specially trained for and has passed a practical test demonstrating his physical ability to perform the duties of the class of positions in which employment is sought.

UNCLE SAm AIDS SOLDIERS TOWARD
 LIFE AMBITION

Washington, July 2-Some men choose their vacations when they are about the age of three years. You've seen kid, who, when he was almost too small to reach the table would try to amputate the cats leg or per form an appendix operation on sis ter's doll. All the family would stand around admiring and choose the med ica1 college he was going to.
 Well, here's one who wasn't much more than snaggle toothed when he was wiring the house and putting batteries on all the doors. When he had finished the sixth grade (without honor) father said one night that the only thing for Joe to do was to get in an electric shop, and earn his own living. I don't know that there ever was a much more perfect mo- ment in that boys life than when he started down on Monday morning with a tin pail and a pair of over aus
 From twelve years to twenty-eight years means a passage of time but Joe was still with the company as a cable splicer Advancement was there, and he used to look pretty longingly at johs higher up, but a sixth grade graduation is not much of a foundation for promotion, is it?
 That was just before the United States Army packed up and went abroad for a year or so. Joe went with them. and left star in the companys flag
 One day over there a German ma chine gun carried away the bottom part of a ledge he was standing on, and with h rip ha fingers on his left. Visions of the presidency of the electric company vanished into thin air. Of course the War Risk Insurance Bureau gave him some compensation, but nothing compensates for changing your stand in the world for a seat on the shelf. About that time he got the big news.
 The Federal Board for Vocational Education sent one or their men to tell Joe that he wasn't ready to quit and the United States wasn't ready for him to, and offered him year or so off from work in which he could place few more stones in that sixth grade foundation. Did he take the opportunity? Well, yes. Just listen to this. Joe entered a technical school and is learning to write a readable hand with that left stump, is taking English, mathematics. ac- counting and salesmanship, and the reports of him are A 1.
 When he gets through he Is going to be a salesman in that electric company he grew up with, and is go- ing to make more money than he ever did before with good chance of going on up.
 Say. Wish you could have seen his face when he got that letter from the boss at home telling him his new job was ready when he was! Looked like d tin pan in New England kitchen.

The officers reports state that number of distressing cases of mal- nutrition, especially of children, were brought to their attention. Some of these were in BTeslau, where babies were given a weak spinach brew from soup kitchens instead of milk. In re- porting his visit to Berlin, east Prus- sia, west Prussia and Courland, Major Bertie stated that the allied policy of the economic boycott would probably prove a complete failure, as United States was prepared to cooperate in 1t and was engaged in various schemes for capturing German trade as soon as the blockade is raised.''

WINTER INJURED MANY
 APPLE TREES

Many apple trees scattered through out the state have shown a disposi- ton for many of the leaves to turn yellow and drop off. In some cases these leaves show brown spots char acteristic of Elack Rot
 It appears as though this trouble is due not so much to a fungus dis ease, as to a weakened condition of the tree, brought about in all prob ability by the severe winter of 1917 and 1918, says Prof. S. P. Hollister, of the Pomology Department of Con- necticut Agricultural College at Storrs. Doubtless many of these will become weaker from year to year and even tually die. Others which are fer tilized and induced into a vigorous growth will in all probability get over the trouble and continue to bear profitable crops of fruit for years to come. The effect of the severe win ter of 1917 and 1918 will continue to show upon the trees, including pear, cherry, peach and plum as we'll as apples, for several years to come.
 For this reason it is advisable that people take particular pains to keep their trees in vigorous, healthy con dition. and fertilization, says Prof. Hollister. Cultivation. pruning, and spraying have produced excellent re- suits in many orchards without the application of any fertilizer so far. For those who have trees or orchards which are in O weakened condition. cultivation alone, but better in con nection with spraying. will help to '-eep this orchard in healthy condi- ton.

REDGATE ACTS AT
 CROSBY'S REQUEST
Counsel filling Advises Saloons to Shut
 Their Doors.

Fewer saloons are open in the city today than there were yesterday. Under a request from United States District At torney Crosby the police are taking the names of all dealers who are dispensing 2.75 beer. and forwarding them to him in Hartford. This morning two men and woman went into a local cafe and ordered beer which was served to them. They admitted the visit was made for the purpose of obtain ing evidence.
 Thomas r. Flynn. head of the Bridgeport Liquor Dealers associa- ton, decided today Co close his cafe and stated that he thought very few saloons were attempting to do any business. Quite a number were open yesterday. but the fact that it is possible those who keep open will have to pay a fine, the amount of which is indefinite, served to induce many to close.
 A. A filling, counsel for the State IAduor Dealers association, advised his clients to stop selling. He gave this advice after receipt of informa- ton from the Department of Justice that all saloons selling beer since the first of July might be liable to the penalty for violation of the war time prohibition act
 There is test case pending in Baltimore as to whether or not beer is to be chased as an "intoxicant." Saloons who sell the 2.75 beer are re- lying on a Judgment in this case to the effect that beer of this per cent Is not m "intoxicant.' Practically every snloon in Hartford and other large cities in the state closed their doors after the warning from the at torney for the liquor interests Ac- cording to all information more deal CTS kept open in Bridgeport than in any other place in the state.
