VINGENT NOW A
J. G. Vincent, codeslgner of the
Liberty aircraft engine, has been com
missioned by tho president n colonel
In the officers' reserve corps of tho
United Stntes army. The appointment
Is to the aviation section of tho signal
corps, and specifies a flying stntus.
Taking service with the army In
1017, Mr. Vincent wns given tho tem
porary commission of major; luter he
was promoted to lieutenant colonel for
his signal services. A recent enabling
act by congress permitted his being
commissioned a colonel.
"I am glad to accept this commis
sion because I bellcvo the officers' re
scrvo corps offers the best opportunity
that pence time affords tho citizen for
service to this country," snld Colonel
Vincent. "It Is nn effective means of
lining up for tho government in time
of peace the men who, by special train
ing' or talent, should be Immediately
available to the government In time of
war. Obviously, a complete organization for war Is impossible, nnd perhaps
undesirable.
"Then, I think thc corps offers men who nro Interested In special lines
that from their nature arc certain to be called on In war time the best possible
way ot keeping In touch with the government officials at work along the same
lines."
SURGEON GENERAL

contact.
General Blue says thnt evidence points strongly to Infected eating nnd
drinking utensils, especially In places where food and drink nre Bold to tho
public, us being one of the modes of transmission of this dlscnse.
