terry" was the subject of well prepar-
ed paper given by Mrs. G. f. Schoen-
hut, whose long experience in that and
similar lines of work, has given her
wide knowledge of it. Mrs. Schoen-
hut traced the evolution of pottery,
dwelling upon the different methods
of ornamentation land giving high
praise to the efforts of Miss NJ Louise
Mclaughlin, Of Cincinnati, O., the dis
coverer, after repeated failures, OF the
secret of unglazed decoration of pot
terry. The speaker said that Miss NC
Laughlin bore the honor of being dis
coverer creator and producer OF this
new kind of pottery.
Miss Bessie McNeely favored the
audience with two selections, SHADOW
Dance" by Mcdowell, and "The Two
Springs" by Armstrong. Following
her numbers, Mr.. G. E. Patterson, ac-
companied by Mr.. Ralph Xix, gave
two pleasing vocal solos, one IN re-
Spouse to an encore.
The talk given by Miss Louise Mil
Ter, was on the "Sloyd, or Swedish
System of Wood Carving" in which
she spoke highly of its advantages and
educational possibilities. Her talk
was rendered still more interesting by
the exhibition of numerous models
made in the Chicago schools. The
system, she said, was founded in 1874,
and there is now a seminary in Swed-
en- where both men and women may
study this system free of charge. The
sloyd institution is supported by
large estate left for that purpose. MISS
Miller showed that the sloyd system
may be worked out in several mater
ials, including clay, pasteboard, paper
and metal She especially emphasized
that sloyding is adapted to the mem
tai and physical powers OF children.
Nothing but useful articles are made
in the schools, hut the work is a1'rang-
ed so it will prove pleasure, not
drudgery Miss Miller also emphasized
that manual training is as Important
for girls as for boys, which fact is
fortunately, being recognized.
Guests from out of town present at
the club meeting, Were Mrs. Htlsabeck,
of Illinois, Miss Rena Jacob, of WI
mona. Mimi; Mrs. Baker, of Dakota;
Miss Grace Conlee, of Galesburg, III;

EGGS COST EXTRA.

Restaurant Men Can Not Afford to
Serve Them at Usual Price.
Owing to the scarcity, and coltse-
quent high price of eggs, restaurant
men of the city have placed signs be
fore their counters, notifying custom
,ers that an extra charge Of cents
will be made for eggs served with meat
orders. The restaurant men say that
not in long time have they had
such hard work in getting fresh eggs,
and Furthermore they look for them to
go higher. Some restaurants are not
making any effort to serve eggs at all,
as they consider the price prohIbitive,
Eggs are selling at 26 cents per dozen.

Gus Germ.
Ring worm and dandruff are some
what similar in their origin; each is
caused by parasite. The germ that
causes dandruff digs to the root Of the
hair, and saps its vitality, causing
falling hair, and finally, badness.
Without dandruff there would never
be badness land to cure dandruff it
is necessary to kill the germ. There
has been no hair preparation that
would do this until the discovery of
Newbro's Herpicide, which positively
kills the dandruff germ, allays itching
instantly, and makes the hair glossy
and soft as silk. Take no substitutes.

BY the construction of dam at ele-
walton 7s5 on, Stickney brook the wa
tiers of this valley may be diverted
into the watershed of Pleasant Valley
brook and a reservoir constructed in
Pleasant Valley at elevation $500,
which will cover Ills acres and contain
about 100000 gallons.
The combined watershed OF these
brooks is about 5.13 square miles and
there are about Is houses.
If this scheme is carried out as here
outlined we think there would be no
damage done to the mill owners on
milestone brook by the diversion of
wafer from the Pleasant Valley water
shed. which is about LOS square
miles.

s10s.129.54

With the exception Of North pond,
we have heard South pond mentioned
more than any other source of supply.
We have examined the location in
view of utilizing this water and do
not consider il very. feasible.
The pond is so high that it would
be necessary to establish another dis
tributing reservoir at the desired ele-
walton about 600, and to do this the
water must flow. by gravity. either in
a long and expensive line of pipe.
down the course of MILESTONE Brook
or down Green river to Hinesburg and
thence by pipe. part of the way at
least. to the distributing reservoir.
If we are correct in our opinion of
the quality of the MILESTONE brook
water. this would be an argument
against turning the South pond water
down this channel. Even If there is
no contamination from this source we
should fear some complications from
the mill owners on the stream who
might claim you were using Whet-
stone brook water in part. 1t is also
certain that claims would be made
by power owners on Green river III this
water is diverted.
Finally. we do not think there is
sufficient water In South pond alone to
furnish you an unfailing supply. The
total watershed Is less tnan one square
mile including the area of the pond
and the daily yield i'm a dry year could
not be over 100000 gallons
1t would be quite an expensive
proposition to divert the waters of this

Complying with your recent request
Wa have made an examination ana IN

called "Crowell system" ana nave
also made investigations as 10 the
feasibility OF increasing this supply or
acquiring a supply from some eh,'reiy
While we appreciate the enterprise
ana natience OF the promoters OF this
system, In the face OF much adverse
oninion. we must say that In many
resnects Il is far from being an ideai
supply and system for place as large
and so situated, In varying elevations
as Brattleboro,
Aside from the possible inadequacy
of supply at times one OF the primer
nal noints of criticism is the small size
OF the mains. This Is probably que 10

in the same direction three paraliei

The duty performed by these pipes
I'VE claim could be better performed by
one pipe Of sufficient size and very
much shorter. In making our estimate
of the present worth OF the system we
have taken these items into account
as will be shown later.

the town has caused demand for

owners of the system installed steam

about a mile and quarter northerly
from the distributing reservoir.
Estimate Of Pipe System.
As we are unable to ascertain the
weight of the various sizes of pipe
laid. we have based our estimate on
weight which is a mean between the
weights recommended by several man.
ufacturers for 100 feet head and tnat
recommended for 200 feet head. The
head at the town hall is about ISL
feet
The prices we have carried out are
based on the latest quotations we nave
been able to obtain for pipe, lead yarn
and fixtures, and our estimate for lay
ing, ETC., is based on several recent
contracts made for the same sizes.
and as nearly as we can judge. about
the same quality of soil, etc.
The estimate of the present worth
of the system. or in other words, OF
what It would now cost to duplicate 1t,
in efficiency is made as follows:
