of 1ood. HIS mother glVeS nm food--not to swallow only to taste.
 Mrs. Linsig relates the first time Bobby got 8 piece of chocolate candy to taste. It was something new to him. He chewed 1t, she said, and then made a funny face" because he didn't like it.
 Except for the missing passage between throat and stomach, Bob- by is as normal as any boy his age. His mother has caught him at the cookie jar in the pantry munch- ing on biscuits. He likes the taste.
 In 1st Grade at School
 Bobby attends the first grade at school where he enjoys writing, coloring and numbers. The family physician, Dr. w. Barton Harris, attributes his normal growth to the prompt and delicate operation performed at his birth and the lov- ing care of his mother.
 The operation was the only way to save Bobby because he couldn't swallow. Now, still through a tube inserted in an incision in his stom- ach, Bobby gets his nourishment - chiefly fruits, soft desserts, milk and orange juice.
 To see the blond curly-haired Bobby with his friend, 1t would be impossible to detect his physical trouble. In the words of his mother Bobby is just like any boy his age except that he needs artificial feed- ing"
 Bobby's best pal is his 3-year-old brother Dickie, and their pet is Spot, a cat. When Bobby was a leakage developed in the tube through which he is fed, and he had to undergo an operation. Later he recovered from an attack of grippe.
 The medical costs have been staggering to the Linsigs. The father, concrete mixer with only intermittent work, was forced into bankruptcy. He filed pauper's oath, explaining that he did not have the money with which to pay the $50 filing fee.
 Tn his affidavit, the father listed liabilities of $1,A37, of which $1,312 represented unpaid hospital and doctors bills. The Linsigs live in

STATE FILLING
 DRAFT QUOTAS
Few RepIacements Shortly to End Calls Temporarily
 States Sturges

When contingents of Selective Ser vice inducteeS are sent to Hart ford by their local draft boards early next month, Connecticut,s draft quota will be filled except for Q few replacements that may be necessary, Lieut.-Col. George R. Sturges said in an address at Q meeting of the Waterbury chapter, Reserve Oficers' association, att he city hall last night.
 Col. Sturges, a resident or Wood- bury and district supervisor of the State Selective Service Board, said that when the state quota is filled there will still be enough men on the lists to more than fill any quota that may Ee set for next year.
 Many young men try to get into the army despite physical defects, Col. SturgeS said, and their number is at least equal to those who att tempt to avoid induction.
 Following his talk Col. Sturges an- swered 8 number of questions asked by reserve officers about the Selec- tive Service act.
 Moving pictures of navy life were shown by Michael Swata, naval re- cruiting officer for Waterbury. He outlined many advantages resulting from enlistment in the navy or the naval reserve.
 Capt. Edwin 0. Gluntz presided at the meeting.

SCOUTS SEEKING
 OLD NEWSPAPERS
Collections Planned To- morrow to Help Pay for
 Sea Ships Sniper

Committemen, scouts and parents of boys who are members of the Sea Scout Ship, Mattatuck, at the Sec ond Congregational church. will do- nate their services tomorrow in the hope of collecting 1000 pounds of old newspapers which will be sold to local factories later on and the money used to build a snipe, pop ular racing sail boat.
 Cars for tomorrow's collections have been donated by Skipper J. G. Kelsey, Robert Coleman, Charles Sumpf, Frank Blair, Raymond Mills, Haskell Barney, Kenneth Robinson and Walter Hessel. These cars, ac- companied by two scouts, will make collections in Waterville, Bunker Hill, Highland avenue and Willow street sections.
 Skipper Kelsey informed The Democrat this morning that the sponsors of the idea have already sold about 10000 pounds of paper. Each of the cars tomorrow will be assigned various streets where they will be asked to collect three car- loads of paper, or a total of 1000 pounds.
 The past year the Sea Scout Ship has been attempting to build a snipe The Second church originally do- mated $40 for the frames. The mem bers found it impractical to build 1t themselves so Tyler,s Ladder Shop was given the carpenter work con tract. The huh is now complete and nearly ready for launching. A defi- cit of SIT still exists which Skipper Kelsey claims must be made up by the sale of newspapers at $l5 per ton.

BATTERY E IN
 PARADE HERE
Local Volunteers Return Home for Week-End
 Stay, Demonstration

A mile long convoy of 35 motor vehicles was slated to parade down East Main street this afternoon starting at about PAS and, after being informally reviewed at the Green by Mayor Vincent A. Scully, will proceed to Brassco park, where the units of Battery E, 208th coast artillery, will remain for a three day stay in Waterbury.
 In command of the Waterbury detail is Captain Grover c. Bald win of Oakville, who leads the trip from Camp Edwards, Mass, to the local station.
 The public has shown keen in- terest in the visit, as indicated by scores of inquiries, and 1t is expected that a large turnout will be on hand to watch the proceedings.
 Of particular interest is the an- ticipated first hand view of the very latest in anti-aircraft guns. According to plans, tomorrow the public will be permitted to visit Brassco park to inspect the equip- ment of the units, including trucks, light artillery, and the anti-aircraft guns. Soldiers will be on hand to answer all questions.
 A large number of Waterbury youths are in the coast artillery. Though they will be on active duty while in Waterbury, it was indicated that they will be permitted to visit their families each evening during their stay here.
 The visit to Waterbury is not a vacation, as some people feel. The action of the movement is part of defense game now in progress, with an enemy detail in control of southeastern Maine. Defense posi- tions have been set up along Ver- mont and New Hampshire, with Waterbury as a secondary line of de- defense.

 Bobby, like his mother, hopes to be able to swallow some day. He has a large bulldog shape bank in which the Linsig parents and even Bobby deposit coins for the day when an operation might permit him to swallow.
 "To Bobby, candy means noth- ing" Mrs. Linsig said. "So when Bobby gets any pennies he quickly deposits them in the slot atop the dogs head. Yes, Bobby already knows what the bank is for"
 Mrs. Linsig has never abandoned the hope that surgery will progress to the point where Bobby will be able to swallow.

Climb
To $4,000 Cars

NEW YORK. Jan. 9-RevenGe
freight Icarloadings in the week
ended January A are estimated TO
have gained less than seasonaDly
over the Immediately preceding
week to around $4,000 cars This
would compare with 545. 307 cars
in the week of Dec. 2S. 1910. with
092 900 cars in the like 1910 pc
Rod and with 529,371 cars in the
comparable 1889 week.
The main reason fot the failure
of carloadings to sh4w a larger
gain is understood TO have been
the relatively low volume of coal
shipments. both anthracite and BIZ
luminous. with the holiday being
widely observed in the industry.
Loadlnss n the current. week
are expected to show substantial
recovery from last week. with a
resumption of coal shipments aug
mented by the advent OF colder
weather throughout most of the
