A Savings Bank Which Never Lost a
Dollar on Poor Note

The Vergennes Enterprise &
Vermonter thinks that the good
luck the Hyde Park (Vt.) Savings

Trust Company of which Carroll s. Page is
president passed the million-dollar mark in
its assets July IL. This bank has never lost

Fight Against ejaculation.


Atlantic City. June 6-"Educated fair
ones fin the women's colleges Of America
are kissing their lives away" declared
DR.. @. ". Drake, home physician OF the
famous Hollins Institute, Of Virginia, in
one of the most spectacular battles ever
waged for and against kissing before the
powerful American Medical Association
to-day.
Pretty studentS~have kissed each other
good morning, gdSb afternoon. and good
night. until they have kissed into being
some of the greatest grippe and fever cpl
denies known in the country he contin-
ued, ''and il is high time that the doctors
step in and break up the kissing habit
among girls. even if they can't prevent
lovers from indulging in Osculation."
DR.. brakes arraignment of kissing was
the last cash of the attempt to medicate
away the pleasure of the men and maids
Of earth, however, for resolution, which
followed. calling for legal halting Of 'un-
necessary osculation" was killed dead be
fore It could be put TO a vote by the en-
phatic noes Of the younger members of
the association.
To assist in the death Of the measure,
Dr. c. W. Irion, a young and handsome
delegate from Detroit, declared his belief
that all the legislation in the world could
not effect stoppage Of the ancient and
honorable pastime of kissing. Don't un-
dertake to buck Dan Cupid he said
unless you are looking for a quick and
sure death for the American Medical As
sociatiOn. No man or set of men have
ever been able to balk the little god. and
it is certainly not up to us to undertake
such a job at this time

Norfolk, Va, June 6-Joseph G. Cannon,
Of the National House Of Representatives,
is in danger of being blown up, unless
he ceases TO block legislation in which the
Federation of Women's Clubs is inter-
ested. He should be dynamited. thinks
Mrs. Mary Morton Kehew, chairman Of
the Federation committee on legislation.
Mrs. Kehew, in the delivery Ct her report
70 the Federation convention to-day, said:
1t seems that the committee having laws
in hand experienced considerable difficulty
in having them enacted at the last session
Of Congress. It was all Speaker Cannon s
fault, as he retarded definite action per-
sistently.
'He ought to be dynamited. Somebody
ought to get behind him with a good
big charge and set it OFF; then. perhaps.
something would happen. Nothing short
of dynamite would do to wake him up"
She also declared that womens clubs
had flooded the House of Representa-
tives because Of the blocking game of
Cannons She mentioned particularly the
free art bill. the forestry. and reservation
bill and the child labor law
Illinois women were urged to work on
the Speaker.

DESTR0YERS NOT LOCATED.

Have Not Reported.

Norfolk, Va. June T.. > a. m.-Noth-
ing has been heard here from the six
torpedo boat destroyers which yester-
day entered the race from Scotland
Lightship TO Cape Henry. 4 sharp
lookout was kept for them at Cape
Henry and efforts to locate them by the
local station Of the Atlantic DeForest
Wireless Company were fruitless.
The Whipple. one OF the racers. is
equipped with wireless, but it is probable
that the instruments were not working
No other vessels equipped with wireless
could give any information concerning
the flOtilla.
It may he that the racers ran into the
Chesapeake after dark without being
seen, bat that IS regarded as rather i'm
probable. It is certain that they had not
entered the bay before o'clock. as they
could have been seen uD to that time.
Another probability is the fotilla Joined
the North Atlantic feet. which is ap-
preaching the Capes. bound for Hamp-
ton Roads.
