Deplorable Conditions.

A. l.. Maynard the delegate from the
Brattleboro board of trade to the con-
ference on weights and measures held in
Montpelier Thursday of last week, brings
back an interesting report of the CON
ditions prevailing throughout the state
as shown by the statements OF the 40
or more delegates present. That the
state of Vermont needs a law relative
to weights and measures was shown
beyond shadow of doubt at Mont
pelier The meeting was held in the
board of trade rooms in Montpelier and
was called to order by Governor George
H, Prouty. Governor Prouty asked the
various commercial organizations of the
state and other interested persons to be
present to listen to statements of l.. A.
Fischer head of the division of weights
and measures of the bureau of standards
in Washington. and of Inspector +. S.
Holbrook of the same bureau. lnspec-
tor Holbrook explained that he had
visited Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier,
Barre and st. .Johnsbury and that the
conditions found in those places were
practically the same as would be found
in any other city or town in Vermont.
He told those present at the conference
that in the matter of print butter in
packages, Vermont is the greatest viola
tpl III tit NpuIilN ne many
pound packages of butter weighing l41s
ounces and the average samples he
inspected weighed about l5A ounces. 1t
was shown that practically all of the
platform scales used in Vermont were
inaccurate. Mr.. Holbrooll found in his
study of conditions in Vermont that
many merchants Use liquid measures
when selling commodities that should be
measured with dry measure receptacles.
The matter of package goods was dis
cussed and it was shown that when one
buys meats, fish, groceries and other
commodities in packages they rarely
receive full weight In the matter of
Strawberries the standard box is supposed
to contain 60 cubic inches, but many
were found in Vermont that contained
only As cubic inches and could not hold
a quart of fruit as the purchaser expects
them to do In the matter of measuring
pumps which draw oil, syrup and molas-
SEES from barrels it was shown by Mr..
Holbrook and Mr.. Fischer that such
devices are hardly ever strictly accu-
rate. The fact that Massachusetts, New
York and other states nearby have
passed stringent laws governing weights
and measures makes it necessary for
Vermont to take similar steps if the
people of this state are to escape the
imposition put upon them by unscrllpu-
lous dealers who ship short weight pack
age goods into Vermont 1t was voted
to ask Governor Prouty to appoint
committee to draft a bill to be intro
duced at the next legislature which will
weights and measures in this
state.

by an orchestra and the anniversary
hymn, written by the late Mrs. |. y. T..
Smith on the occasion of the 5Oth ami
versary of the church organization, was
sung. At the close of the professional
an address was given by Rev. }. E.
NorcrOss of Boston on the work of the
Sunday school throughout the world
The address teemed with scores of in
teresting facts and the personal mag
netism of the speaker made the story
he told intensely interesting. Return,
ing to the chapel the congregation and
members of the Sunday school listened
to the reading of letters of congratu.,

In telling of the travels of Sabrina,
the bronze statute stolen from the campus
at Amherst by the sophomore class in
1890, Walter Prichard Eaton in the July
Delineator mentions the exploits of the
class of '94 at Brattleboro as follows:
''The class of '94 slipped secretly out of
town one night and held their class
dinner in Brattleboro. Vermont, Sabrina
sitting at the head of the board. After
the dinner she was buried at two a. m.
under the floor of deserted barn out
in the country near Brattleboro. The
secret was confded to three men of the
class of '96. Two years later they dug
her up for their class dinner, and then
her again, it is said at the
bottom of the Connecticut river, moored
with steel cable. Every even year she
presides over the sophomore dinner
which is never held in Amherst, lest
fight ensue and she be captured. She
makes her appearance mysteriously, and
disappears again.

of this paper. The business of this con-
Germ is made up of specialties and neces-
sites, such as shipping tags, crepe paper,
bells, jewelers. boxes and findings, and is
the largest Of its kind in the world today,
employing 1900 hands, about 400 of whom
work in the box department alone. The
first jewelry box ever made in America
was made by them and it is their con-
slant aim to keep their production up to
the highest standard as to quality.
Excellent accommodations for girls are
furnished by the company, and trained
nurse is always in attendance at the fac
tory to attend to the needs of any of its
employees free of charge. Girls of refine

HINTS TO BUILDERS
ON SECURING BIDS
Advice With Reference to the Proper
Handling of the Cost Problem
OF "a Home.

To make new application Of the
old familiar saving. 1t is quite a Gus
tomary thing FOR people to attempt the
building Of "A home with "a cream APP
petite and skim milk pocketbook.'
The uncertainty Of the actual cost or "a
home seems to lure the prospective
homebuiider into attempting the inn
possible. Through previous experiences
of their own or OF their friends they
know that the estimates received from
several contractors for the construc-
ton of a house will sometimes vary as
much as 30 per cent ana the variance
OF 20 per cent being a very common
aNperioncc This creates an uncer-
taintv as TO what the actual cost Of
every house viii be and under these
circumstances II Is only natural That
the human passion Of wanting some
thing for nothing should tempt the
homebuilder into adding number OF
little Injuries and special features
which are not entirely essential IN
hone that a contractor win be found
somewhere anxious enough for work
To take the contract at a price com
ing within the amount they desire 10
spend
This Is a form Of gambling on future
possibilities which as rule results
in the homebuilder spending consider
ably more for his house than he or
ioinaIlN- intended. or else emitting
n,,n,ber Of the extra items in order to
keep the price down. While there Is Il
considerable difference in estimates
given by contractors. there is a mimi
mum under which the cost Of house
can not 60 without reduction either
I'm the quality Of materials or the
