Prescho0I Exam
 Shows 3O1 Tots
 Without Defects
Perfect Health Found in lOo of Cases Thou- sands Referred to Family Physician for Correction

Three thousand three hundred and sixty-three children who will enter school for the first time this Tall were physically examined in the IFS summer round-ups held in Connecticut since last October and nearly 501 or ten percent were found to be without physical or dental defects of one type or an- other, the state department of health announced today in its weekly bulletin.
 Among this group of children, 2,440 had physical defects and 2,245 had dental defects. Some of the defects were of a minor na- ture. but 1880 physical defects were considered serious enough to refer to the family physician and 2,222 children with dental defects were referred to the family dent ists. Thus. in most cases, these defects will have been largely cor rected by the time school opens and the children will be able to begin their studies without physi- cal handicap.
 This years round-ups, which were initiated in 1925 by the Con- gress of Parents and Teachers and NOh&NNSS0 60SNC66Auhy IlHCO in cooperation with the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State De- partment of Health, and local volunteer physicians, were held in ninety-six different Connecticut towns and villages which other wise would not have had such service available to the children. They were arranged for by the 1O6 Darent-teaCher associations and represented 312 schools.
 As the name Summer round ups" indicates. the physical and dental examinations were origin ally planned for the summer months, but as the movement spread it was found that the sum- mer season afforded insufficient time to conduct them. Now the round-ups begin in the fall months and continue into the following summer.

DUKE WOULD BE
 MOST TRUSTED
 OF WORLDS MEN
Actually, Scheme Is Sort of Rival of Irish
 SWeepStake

London (UP)-The Duke of At- holl wants to be the worlds most trusted man. He wants million people to give him ten shillings Approximately $2.50 at par) each.
 Just like that. And he does not intend to tell them what he is going to do with the f500,000, al- though he will give them a per- sonal receipts for the ten shillings.
 Rivals Sweepstake.
 Actually, his scheme is a kind of huge sweepstake, rivaling the Irish hospital sweeps on famous horse races. but not called so be- cause sweepstakes are illegal in Britain.
 The Duke had foated a sweep stake on the St Leger race. Nine million tickets were printed, and some f20,000 had been subscribed, when Scotland Yard stepped in and banned it.
 The present scheme is intended to replace this sweep, an dthe St. leger tickets, duly cancelled, are the receipts for the ten shillings subscribed.
 Public has High Hopes.
 "The public" says the Duke, "have my word of honor that I shall not let them down." And that's al lthey have got, for he does not intend to reveal where the money is going. until all the ten shillings are in. In other words a million, or as the Duke hopes, millions. will make a present of ten shillings to the Duke. in return for a receipt, in the hope that there may be some big prize, and the knowledge, on the Dukes au- thority. that his scheme is legal and will vastly benefit British hos pitals.
 It is stated that London society has taken up the idea enthusias- tically. Member of Parliament, the House of Lords, and high govern ment officials, are reported already to be in possession of the new tic- ket.
 These tickets read: Cancelled but the Duke of Atholl invites the public to buy this specimen ticket for ten shillings solely as a memento of a commendable effort assist British charities, and upon the basis that the proceeds of sale shall be dipoed of in uch a man. ner a sthe Duke of Atholl shall, in absolute and uncontrolled discre- ton, think fit."

Speedy and reckless drivers pro- yided the bulk of business to-day in police court.
 A 16-year old licensed operator, Louis Robin of 49 Hillside avenue, Hartford. was given a discharge because of his willingness to admit that the officer was right and he was wrong and partly also because of his youthfulness. Patrolman Jo- seph Lovallo of the police motor patrol checked young Robin and estimated that he was travelling at 55 miles an hour along Watertown avenue.
 'T know I was speeding5a a little, but I didn't look at the speed ometer. I was perhaps going 50 miles an hour. I took the officers word for it,'' the accused testified. He denied however. that he "cut in" on several cars that he passed in his wild ride from Aurora street to Robbins street.
 Judge Edward Mascolo reserved decision in the case Of James Gau- diosi, 20. Of IF Lakewood road, who was arrested by Parolman George McElliGott of the motor patrol.

After travelling about 100 feet beyond the officer Gaudiosi came to stand still. He claimed that he didn't see or hear the first officer.
