ARMISTCE TALE. TOLD KIWANIANS.
War Correspondent Given False Report Explains
 Stevenson

The premature armistice of 1918 and how Waterburian's postponed their festivity was described by E. R. Stevenson, local editor, yesterday noon at The Elton during meet ing of the Kiwanis club.
 During the fall, Roy Howard of the United P.'css service was strand ed in South America trying to reach the United States, but our shores were so infested with U-Boats, that Towards boat had to change its course which subsequently, took him to France and Spain where the un- founded Armistice tale broke, he said.
 The Austro- Hungarian rulers were asking for peace, while rumors were ripe that the Kaiser was abdtcatlng, and that the Germans desired a pre-peace conference, he added. At the time, Howard was located at Brest waiting for ship to take him home; however, he got an interview with Adm. Wilson of the Navy, who has received telegram, supposedly from Paris and which revealed the false announcement of the armis- tice. Without too much delay, How ard obtained permission to send the news out from a small French paper there, with whom his syndicate had an agreement, said the editor, so Towards story was sent to this country.

A so-called "mayonnaise" made with mineral oil found by the Dairy and Food Department for sale in a Connecticut restaurant was reported to the State Department of Health as announced in its weekly bulle- tin. On analysis it was found that the oil content of the so-called "mayonnaise" proved to be 90 per cent mineral oil and not edible oil as required by law. The case was presented to court and the product was ordered condemned and de- stroyed.
 This salad dressing was being sold in gallon jars appearing under a trade name but represented as be- ing mayonnaise. These jars carried a dietary label which showed the contents to be made of mineral oil and not of edible oil which people who buy mayonnalse have a right to expect.
 Not Edible Oil
 Mineral oil, or petrolatum, is ot the more common agencies used as a cathartic. Mineral oil is not an edible oil. Mineral oil is not ab- sorbed in the system and is not made use of as nourishing food.

METHODISTS PLAN STUDENT PROGRAM

War bonds and stamps continue to come in as donations to the cause sponsored by Methodist Student day next Sunday it was announced to- day by Dr. Harry Wright McPher- son, executive secretary of the Board of Education of the Methodist church in Nashville.
 Methodist Student Day, which IS an annual observance in Methodist churches throughout the Nation, Is day set aside for the purpose ot creating interest in higher eduCa- ton and swelling the Student Loan Fund. In the past TO years this fund has been the means Of assist ing more than 62,000 students through college by loans amounting to more than $9,500,000.
 "Ihough donations can be made in any form and for any amount, we are pleased that so many have been made in war bonds and stamps" Dr. McPherson. Aiding the students is a fine thing, and aiding the government at the same time makes the donation doubly Valu- | able"
 Those in charge are particularly anxious to have the Student Loan Fund receive increased aid this year, for with summer student jobs no longer possible, due to the year round educational program, and so many students in the service who will wish to continue their educa- tion at the end of the war, there will be more calls than ever for Stu dent Loan aid.

Tough Training Makes Disabled Doughboys Fit To Fight Again
By TOM WOLF NEA Staff Correspondent

Rehabilitation Center, England, June lO.--Milton Brown, Pfc. from McMillan, Mich, had a large sec tion of his left thigh bone shot away in Africa. After six months in C hospital, Brown was sent here to the U. s. Armys fire rehabilitation center.
 When Brown arrived, he scarcely could move his knee. Less than SIX weeks later I watched him playing field hockcy-no game for panty WaiStS-With the energy and zest of professional. Before long. say the doctors here, Brown will be back with his unit-paratroopS.
 Browns case is typical of what the Medical Corps expects 10 accom- pliSh here. It hopes to salvage men. to save them from months, perhaps years, of semi-invalidism and to get them back into the line in record time.
 SECOND CENTER PLANNED
 Because this center is so new, nc figures on the miracles already per- formed here are being made public yet. But the results to date are suf- ficiently exciting to warrant the opening in the near future of sec ond, ard even bigger, center of this type.
 The idea came from Col. Rex Diveley, of Kansas City, Mo, chief orthopaedic conSultant for the Euro pean Theater of Operations. Colonel Diveley had watched the British Army get marvellous results from it's rehabilitation depots and con- valescent hospitals. He felt that if men could be taken out of enervat- ing hospital beds, given therapy and exercise in proportion to their strength, there would be tremendous savings in time, money and lives.
 This center is rehabilitation depot, convalescent hospital and development center combined. The hospital atmosphere is conspicuous ly absent. There are no nurses. Dur ing the day beds are made with mattresses rolled to prevent patients lying down. The only hospital signs are short casts on legs or arms, occa- sional limps and lots of scars. TOUGH AT FIRST
 As soon as a man comes here - it may be the very day his long cast is taken off shattered limb - he starts active work. He is classified, according to his physical condition, into one of four groups. Even for Group Omen with recent wounds, hernias, pneumonias - the out-of- bed day starts at 2 a. m. and con- tinues until 4:30 in the afternoon. Most newcomers flatly state that they can't possibly take it. A few days later they not only are taking it but are delighted with their ob- ViOuS progress.
 The D Group starts with easy work: Weeding gardens between barracks, doing carpentry and Weav- ing. playing easy games. They take light physical training for develop ment of the entire body and spe- cialized exercise for wounds in a specially equipped remedial gym and physiatherapy room. Everyone does regular military drill.
 The schedule for each group is pretty much the same, but 1t be- come stougher and rougher as men progress. Before a D becomes a c, for example, he walks mile with full pack. Constant medical super vision pushes the men along as fast as their condition warrants. By the time a man reaches A Group he's

Fake "Mayonnaise"
 Ordered Destroyed
State Health Department Reports Instance of Illegal
 Sale; Restaurants Warned of Illegal Practice

It is also known that mineral oil will dissolve both vitamin A and vitamin D since they are fat solu- ble. Both Of these vitamips, and especially vitamin A, are needed daily. When mineral oil is regularly used, it is doubtful whether one can secure enough of this vitamin since it is dissolved by mineral oil and eliminated from the body. Thus the continued practice of using mineral oil either as a cathartic or with food will affect health.
 The Council on Foods of the American Medical Association states in it's volume, Accepted Foods and Their Nutritional Significance, that a mayonnaiSe must contain mot less than 50 per cent edible vegetable oil'. This means that Whaeever oil is used must be a vegetable prod uct.
 Patrons Cheated
 Lately mineral oil, or petrolatum, has been used by some lndlVldualS IO marinate salads for purposes of re- ducing since they fear increased weight as caused from the use of regular salad dressings. Health au- thorities have advised against this practice, but as long as milady found it effective to concoct her own dressing of mineral oil it was her individual problem. Were jars ot gallon size ordinarily purchased for family use, a wise reader of labels would have noted that this so-called mayonnaise on the market was not an "edible' product. It was plainly evident that this was being sold III the state for use in public eating places in which case the unWary purchaser of a salad or sandwich made of this "mayonnaise" was be- ing cheated of a rightful product.

CHANGE BENEFITS
 LOCAL BUS LINES
Elimination of School Busses to Aid Schedule
 on Three Lines

Elimination of special school bus service will enable the Connecticut Railway & Lightning company to extend service on three city routes according to an announcement by A. J. Drummond, superintendent of operations. Additional trips in the late afternoon and in the evening will be made on the Highland ave- nue, Bunker Hill, and Fairmount- South Leonard routes.
 Extra trips made to serve local high school students will be dropped with the closing of schools in few weeks, and likewise the necessity of trips for school purposes to Mid- dlebury, Naugatuck, WatertoWn, and Cheshire will be abolished and the saving of gasoline will be used to extend service to local routes which have been overloaded, it was reported
 The company recently revised it's scheduled to obtain a 20 per cent reduction in mileage and save gaso- line. A gradual readjustment of the schedule will be made to place service where it is most needed, It was indicated, still continuing on the reduced mileage basis, however.

TO THE DRAFT-DODGER

While our brave loyal sons are fighting That our freedom prevail like flood While the champions of human welfare Are defending mans honor by blood; You avoid dutys sacred summons And display no true national price You have let fear destroy your courage, Thrust the spirit of valor aside. While unglorified heroes labor In the mills on the farms, in the mines, That our men at the front have weapons To annihilate enemy lines; You slink back like cheat from service, Letting self-nterest shape your course, You would rather retain your comfort Than keep freedom and justice in force. How can you boast of patriotism Without serving the cause of the free2 How can you codly seek deferment When your country is in jeopardy? May you spend all your days in sorrow For evadng a citizens role, May you roam through the world an outcast, Long in vain for the peace of your soul.
