Shortage of tradesmen as heralded far and wide by newspapers from New York to San Francisco has had tendency within the past few weeks to induce boys to return to trade schools throughout the country. This conditj $ noticed somewhat in New C well as elsewhere,

"'s. he papers are beginnihs the boys to take up some that field. such as carpentry. sto, Jason, brick laying. clustering and electric wiring, rather than the so-called white collar jobs which were sought after so eagerly few years ago, There also has been noticed lately a slight shift from the shop trades, such as machinery and print ing, to the building trades, thus creating a much larger proportion of boys in the building trades than here tofore.
 The local trade school has 50 per cent more boys in the building trades than last year.
 One of the reasons according to Mir. Hall why the trades are demand Ing more trained helpers is shown by the briclSlaying trade. In the past 10 years he says there has been a shrinkage of 30 per cent in the num- Der of bricklayers in the city while at the same time there has been an increase Of at least 100 per cent fin the use of brick and fireproof ma terial.
 "The publicity given the shortage in the plastering and masonry trade has influenced large number Of young people 10 become interested" said Mir. Hall. "Bricklaying is not laborer's job. it is about the last job left of the ancient crafts. We are laying bricks today practically the same as tho ancient Egyptians did"

NEW BRITAIN DOCTORS IN
 LICENSE INVESTIGATION
Three Physicians said 10 Have Been served With Notices Io
 Attend Hearing

It is understood that several local doctors have been asked 10 appear in Hartford in connection with the in- vestigation Of tho illegal procuring of physicians and surgeons diplomas and state licenses 10 practice which is nosH going on. Names of three prominent local practitioners have been mentioned in some circles as having appeared. but it is not slated whether they appeared merely to give testimony regarding other pertinent facts or whether they had to make statements concerning their own method Of obtaining the education that ls necessary before the granting Of state license. States Attorney Hugh Alcorn was mot at his office" when the Herald" endeavored to ob- tain statement from him in re- gard 10 the matter. The doctors mentioned fin rumor had nothing to say about the case.
 Owing to the fact that the nature Of the testimony given by the mon is not known, and it is not under. stood whether they will ultimately be lisbarred, their names, at this time. will not he published.
 ft has been indicated from the states attorneys oGirc That action would be simultaneously taken against all Of tho doctors believed to have won their diplomas through fraud. and it is presumed that no names will be officially given ont unfit Mr. Alcorn is entirely through with his investigation and has passed upon the points to consider in each case. There Is little doubt. however. that at least ouo local doctot wi1I be dis barred from practice and thore is quite a possibility that there will be others.
