VOCATIONAL TRAINING SQUAD
 CLOSES UP WORK TODAY

Thirty cases were handled here Fri day at the town hall by the federal vo- cational training boards flying squad which closes it's work in Connecticut when it finishes the cases to come be- fore it here today Saturday..
 So far Ss cases have been handled in Norwich and it is expected that the to- tai number will run up to 100 by the time the squad handles the last one to- day As the members of the flying squad are to depart for Washington and New York immediately after they finish their Norwich work, they are particu- larly desirous that every man who is to come before them today will get there by Il o'clock. They urge that employ CTS take it as patriotic duty to let any employe off early so that he can come before the board.
 Among the medical cases that came up here was one of the most unusual known to medical science, said Major Joel Gros- uer of New York the district medical advisor, that of a case of shaking palsy in man of the age of 30. This disease which is known as paralysis agitans,. or Parkinson disease, occurs in males above the age of 50. seldom below the age of 40, but the soldier who came before the board with it Thursday was around the age of 30. Another peculiar feature of this case is that it affects only one side of the mans body.
 Probably the most seriously injured man who has come before the board was a soldier veteran of two of the most i'm portant actions in which the American troops participated. He had a gunshot wound in the left shoulder received al Chautau Thierry on July 2, 1918, and gun shot wound of index finger of his right hand received at Champagne or Sept. 30, 1918. The finger had been am putated. The man was also suffering from hernia.
 One of the members of the flying squad spoke of the experiences they have fr dealing with cases, saying that if tht men with slight disability who are the hardest to handle and satisfy as to tht vocational training they are to receive from the government

MOTHERS WHO WORRY Because Their. Children Ans filling
 Should Take This Advice

There is always a good reason why child is frail, and the trouble is often traced to poor blood, which is caused by undernourishment. Of course every mother feeds her child regularly, but does the food digest and nourish the body Mostly no,
 when the child is thin and ailing. Many mothers in this city have found that a preparation of Cod Liver and Iron, called Vinol, is the best remedy for this condition. It contains no oil for children to object to, but it does contain the most famous tonics known
 to medicine, as will be Seen by read ing the formula on the label, We ad- wise mothers to try it.

New York Executives,

Sixty per cent. of a representative group of one hundred Well-known men in the New York financial district were born in states other than New York About half of tthe remaining forty per cent. were born in New York city itself. This representative group includes off, cials such as presidents of life insur- ance companies which have assets in excess of 100,000,000; presidents of transportation, telegraph, telephone and express lines; officers of banks and trust companies with capital, sur plus and undivided profits of 10,000,- 900 or over; and directors of other large. business houses.
 It is common knowledge that New York draws her captains of finance and industry from all over the. United States. In this group of 100 men many were born in small towns-but just as many were born in large cities. The following table, showing the size of various towns and cities and the mum Der of men born in each, does, away with the idea that nearly all 'Tbig" men come from small towns.

tionS will be taken up at this meeting.
among them being organic union. fed
Cra union. the new era movement, the
relation of women to tho church and
tho relation Of the church to industry.
This last is one of the most impor
tant. The PrcsbytCrians, fully as much
as any other denomination. have been
responsible for tho general broadening
not only of the views but also of the
responsibilities of the church in its re-
lation to the affairs of daily life. The
church (spcaking in the broadcst
scnSc) has become seven days in the
week factor in American life. and the
old idea that the doctrines of the
church should bc more severely applied
on the Sabbath than on the other six
days of the week has gone forever
thanks to the energies of the PrCsby
tcrians and other progressive dCnomi-
nations.
1t is likely that there will be some
spirited debates over certain matters
of church policy, but the wise common
sense that has heretofore guided the
dcstinics Of the Presbyterian Church
80 successfully may be relied upon to
provide tho right solution.
The welfare of the country depends
as much upon the church and its poll
cics as upon any other single element
in our national life. IL the preccpts
which form the foundation of the great
denominations like the Presbyterian
could be rigidly enforced in our business
and social life. the millennium would
be apprcciably nearer. Therefore, the
responsibilities resting upon the gen
cral assembly are great and the oppor
tuntics ar" equally So. The members
may be building much further into the
future than is now apparent even to
themselves.

A NEW SMOKE NUISANCE

A UTOMOBILES, little and big, fast
n and slow. multiply at an astonish- e
ing rate despite tho heavenward trend
Of gasoline prices. They fill the streets.
Gasoline isn't what it used to be.
Much Of it, bcinS Of base quality,
turns readily to smoke. And we are
becoming a community Of smoke eaters
because Of the negligence of motor
drivers who are willing to waste good
fuel and poison the air rather than
take five minutes of to adjust the
mechanism under the hood.
Somewhere on the books there is
an ordinance which empowers the
police to arrest and fine any one who
operatcs smoking motor vehicle in
the streets. Yet n large number of
drivers daily trail clouds of poisonous
gases behind them in the main thor
oughfarcs. The smoke law ought to be
enforced. The gas from an impcr
foctly adjusted motor is not only often
sivr. 1t is poisonous.
