The new process of thawing water
pipes by electricity, that has been used
in Barre, Montpelier, etc, was success
fully tried here last week The electri-
clan thawed out the supply pipe to the
residence of Gardner Wainwright in
less then ten minutes. Since then many
pipes have been thawed out. The
process is very simple one. The cleo
trio current is taken from the main
wires, and either passed through special
transformer that reduces the voltage to
about 30 or 40, or the voltage is reduced,
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1905-02-17

as here, at the power station. If too
much voltage is used the electricity will
melt lead pipe connections. From the
transformer one wire is attached to the
water pipe in the house and the other
to the nearest hydrant making a circuit.
The current is then turned on and the
pipes are thawed in from 8 to 10 minutes.
This can be done with gasoline engine
and a small dynamo that can be taken
anywhere. No more digging up of pipes
and many hours of hard work Science
does the work quickly and cheaply.

Pattern For Girls One Piece Apron Designed

What The little girl would do without;

ever yday or Very best !dresss from occa9
sional spots or rough wear 1 do not ven-
ture 10 suggest Aprons are story, and
"a long one. by themselves. Plain, plated
or lberri1,cd, \ according to ones fancy. not
a whit OF their popularity has waived
since our mothers before US wore the
selfsame garments The apron OF today!
Is very. much more sensibly made than
the old style. for now nearly all are made
In one piece and as simple In design and
finish as can be. The model shown IS the
acme OF simplicity. 1t Is made In ono
piece with no Shoulder seams. but with
front and back cut In one, and the only;
sewing necessary is the closing OF tho
.underarm seam and turning the hem on
the lower edge. The apron extends over
the. sleeve In cap effect. and this. as we'll
as the neck edge. may be finished with
bands or finishing braid. The apron may
be slipped on over the head or. II prefer
red, may be opened In the back. The
mother who has several little children to
sew for Will appreciate this design, as It
not only saves time In the making. but,
the front and bnck being alike the apron
may be folded together and roned with
no moro trouble than II 1t were Il pillow

A JUST JUDGMENT.

In ogden the other day Judge Muir
ply of the city court sentenced a de-
PENDANT to serve ninety-nine days ia
the city jail. II was proven that the
defendant. one CLYDE Moore, had been
guilty OF shocking cruelty 10 his two
children, the Oldest being but . years
of age. Moore admitted that he beat
that 2-year-old child with a razor strOp.
and the baby's body showed it, for It
was covered with bruises and oontu
sions. The great pity about this case
is that Moore could not have been sent
10 prison for a term OF years.
We can have some sympathy for the
man who. pressed by necessity, goes
out and holds up a pedestrian; there is
excuse, sometimes, for the burglar who
enters q house and strips it Of IT'S
valuables; even the petty sneak thief
may on occasion be forgiven. But there
is no excuse. no justification in any
code for the crime Of Moore. It is DIFF
fcult 70 use temperate language in u
discussion Of his case. He is a scoun-
drel too vile for the contempt of de-
cent people.
The evidence in court went TO show
that Moore and his wife have locked
their children up in their house and
left them alone while they went TO Tho
theatre. This has been done by other
people whose instincts arc reasonably
humane. but we have never been able
To understand how parents could bring
themselves to take such risk. There
are numerous Instances in which chill
dren have been burned to death under
such circumstances. and il a child
should wake up and find itself alone in
the house it would be given a scare
that might do it serious injury.
1t is quite aIaareRt from the court
proceedings that Moore and his wife are
not competent to have the custody Of
their children. The little ones should
be taken away from them and placed
in some institution where they viii
have a reasonable amount OF care and
attention.
