To those who ask the significance of
this day we answer that. like all fes-
tival days now having apparently only
secular Interpretation, it had re
ligious origin. From time immemorial
it has been the custom to celebrate
the last day of October. "Hallow Eve" "
or "Een," as it is generally called.
1t is recorded in history that long
before the Wise Men of the East pro.
claimed the birth of Christ that a
great festival was held on this date by
Druid priests. AS the nations became
Christianized the day was called "All
Hallow" because it preceded All
Saints day.
To come down to modern time. this
day is regarded by old and young as
the day par excellence" on which to
entertain.
There are so many ways to amuse
so many schemes to try, that one even
ing is far too short to do them all
so the hostess must adapt what Is
best suited to her own company.

"The surgical work has been marx

"In general, patients have been very

This work apparently has an eduea-

TIMES UP,

The freight service the Central Yer
mont railroad Is giving Brattleboro is
abominable worse, in fact, than there
is any excuse for This statement is
made with the knowledge that rail
roads all over the country are having
great difficulty in coping with the
enormous traffic which is blocking their
lines and that in many instances in
famed public opinion and the result
ant hasty legislation have combined to
make railroad administration unusual
ly difficult, There is no doubt that the
Central Vermont along with other roads
has been hampered by the unprecedent'
ed volume of freight which it has been
obliged to handle but this seems to Of
fer no excuse for the demoralized state
into which things at the local station
have got, For the past several weeks
the local freight yard has been so con
gested that anything like decent service
has been an utter impossibility. Every
siding has been loaded with ears any
where from one week to four weeks
overdue. Brattlcboro firms have been
unable to get goods consigned to them
or to ship goods away with any degree
of promptness. Even passenger trains
have been delayed repeatedly by
their inability to get clear
track. In short, affairs have been
about as bad as can be imagined. If
there appeared to be any really good
reason for such chaos or if the Central
Vermont management seemed to be
making every possible effort to alleviate
the situation The Reformer would feel
like Withholding criticism, But such
evidence unfortunately does not appear
to exist. In response to complaints the
railroad officials have made promises
that have never been fulfilled. The alb
surdity of any claim to sincerity on
their part is illustrated by the fact
that one broken.down switching engine
is the only motive power the local force
has to work with. With this pathetic
pretense at locomotive both night and
day shifts are supposed to accomplish
all the extra work that is necessary to
bring about any Improvement in condi'
tions. Brattleboro has waited about
long enough for the Central Vermont to
show some signs of a wish to remedy
matters. If changes for the better can
not be brought about by action of the
board of trade it S time the railroad
commissioners were notified.
