PHYSICAL TEST
 NOT NECESSARY
Many School Children Seek Permits To
 Work.

School children between the ages of 14 and 16 who wish to work dur ing the summer vacation are not re- quired to pass a physical examina tion before they can be employed, &C., cording to Health Officials of the city. The Bureau of Vital Statistics has been flooded with applicants during the past two weeks who were misled into thinking they must pass a physi- cal test before going to work. All that is necessary for them to do is to obtain a working certificate from c. N. Hall. the local agent of the State Board of Education which does not call for physical examination at the Welfare Building.
 They must. however, secure a birth certificate at the Vital Statistics Bu- reau after they have made application to MT. Hall.
 Those children between the ages o1 IA and 16 who are looking for per- manent employment must pass the physical test given at the Welfare building and be classified as to the nature of the work they are fitted for.
 During the month of June there has been about 60 of the latter ap- average of other months when they run from so to 100 made. The yearly average of children who go to work between the ages of IA and 16 is 1000.

HIT BY TRUCK DIES INSTANTLY Michael Jankura Knocked Down While Playing
 Ball.

John Jankura, 25 years old, of No. 112 Bell street employed at the Salts Textile plant was instantly killed While playing ball in the road on kossuth street near Seymour street when he was struck by an automobile truck that was being lowed by an- other truck south on Kossuth street.
 Jankura in company with two feI- low employees was playing ball in the road and after missing the thrown ball he gave chase. Evidently he did not see the second truck that was being lowed and when he bent over to pick up the ball he was struck by the front wheel of the truck on the head His scalp was badly lacerated and one of his ears was nearly torn off. Witnesses turned in a hurried call for the ambulance but when Dr.. B. J. Burns arrived he found the man beyond medical attention and remov- ed the body to the morgue.
 The first truck was driven by Dan- iel Wildman of 903 Park avenue and bore the license number 1SO35 The second truck which was being lowed was driven by John J. Brown of 119 Willard street. Both truck drivers were employed by Walter M. Stowe Trucking Go. of 903 Park avenue Both drivers were arrested and are being held in bonds of $1,OOO each, charged with manslaughter.

TO CALL STANLEY
 ON BILL
Loewith Says He Must Give Explana-
 ton.

John c. Stanley, president of the Board of Police Commissioners, will have to make some explanations to the subcommittee on police affairs of the Board of Apportionment before the $17,00o requested by Mayor Will son to pay the Burns detectives, is arranged for by the Board of Ap- portionment, according to Sigmund LoewithI senior member of the board, this morning.
 "We have been unable to locate Mir. Stanley said MT. Loewith, "and we want to have talk with him in relation to where the $17,0oo is to come from. We are told MT. Stan ley is out of town The Board of Ap- portionment adjourned last week subject to the call of the chair and there will be no call until MT. Stan ley is seen.''
 MT. Loewith suggested at the last meeting of the board that the s17,- 900 be taken from the police depart ment appropriations. This could be done, he said, by transferring money appropriated for new policemen Twenty-four were asked for and the money was provided, but now that there is a shortage of money he be- lieves the money could be obtained new policemen.
 The mayor when he made the re- quest for the $17,0OO asked that funds of the Department of Public Works be transferred so the bill could be paid, but the members of the Board Of Apportionment are opposed to his l plan. They believe the money will have to come from the police depart | ment

HADLEY OUTLINES
 REORGANIZATION
Readjustment of Fraternity System Presents Diff
 culties.

New Haven, Conn.,, June 22-Yale Alumni in Battel Chapel today heard from President Arthur T. Hadley many details of reorganization of the vari- ous departments and their future ef- feet. Right Rev. Frederic w. Keator 'sO-Bishop of Olympia, Washington, presided at the meeting.
 President Had1ey said that the year just closed had been a successful one in spite of cost of living, mental un- rest which followed the war and the many problems of reconstruction. The college course has been changed more than the student personnel. To President Hadley's mind the most gratifying feature of the new sys- tenn of a freshman faculty and a com mon course of freshman studies was that it gives the faculty members op- portunity for advancement.
 MT. Hadley went step by step through the establishments in courses ternity system of the scientific school
 presents more difficulties than the arts and sciences. To deal with the fraternity problem Burton Parker Twichell, '01, has been appointed dean of students.
 MT. Hadley said it has been easier to keep students than professors and on this point he explained the salary increases. He mentioned materia. and physical changes in the univer- sity plant, and in many ways review ed for the graduates his stewardship of the year.
