The Rutland Herald has been particu-
larry virulent in its attacks on the Free
Press, and perhaps in view OF the scars It
bears as "result of many wars, 4" this is
not strange. The craft will be surprised,
however, that the editor OF the Herald,
who at present is president Of the Yer
mont Press association and who therefore
should exemplify the ethics OF journal
ism, should allow himself to drop into
the "personal abuse OF a brother editor
in connection with a campaign discus
sion.
As regards lack OF influence, IL the Free

particular campaign and we were adopt.

that we would hardly apply to that

spectacles and lingering leer on fall

We will not say this, however, bat will

Rather would we seek a certificate of
influence from DR.. Mead himself and
those Of his representatives who earnestly

Now that the Herald has shown anoth-

ing the campaign to personal basis.

olined to take the direct responsibility for
answering questions, We will take our
questions concerning the points at issue

The jury in Rutland county court that
last week returned a verdict in the Eddy
trial Of murder in the ''third degree" was
technically incorrect, because there is no
such degree, but 1t was trying what all
iuries now do, to find some way out OF
imposing the severe penalty. In this par
ticular case, how any compromise short
OF absolute guilt OF murder in the first
degree, or clear acquittal, could be
reached on any basis Of logic, law or con
sistency is a puzzle.

Among the recent state news items is
the reported resignation OF Rev. George
Frederick Wells, research secretary OF
the Vermont INSTRUMENTATION comfy

much Importance throughout the state in
unifying discordant elements and organic

working order under a compromise form
OF church poIity. He has done much
to educate the people in the direction OF
mere liberal thought and away from big
otry and hidebound sectarianism. The
interdenominational comfy commission,
composed as it is Of men from all the lead
ing Protestant sects, stands for modern
methods as opposed to medieval ways OF
church administration; it believes in saw

tion. But what must be though OF the plea

Demand for hydrogen

So interviewer and dependent upon one
another are the industries of the world
that the developments of any new
form of activity, whether it is in busi-
ness or in sport. has its influence upon
many other industries, says the Boston
Globe. Thus. the bicycle, and now the
automobile, sent explorers all over the
tropical world looking for new sources
of supply for rubber tires. and the
great development of electrical ma
chinery almost caused a revolution in
the copper market. Even the spread of
the golf habit made itself felt wher-
ever gutta percha is produced
The latest result of the interest in
the navigation of the air is to create a
a commercial scale This is particu-
larly true in Germany, where the taste
is for dirigible balloons rather than
for aeroplanes. The gas most used is
the common Illuminating gas from the
street mains; this is convenient and
cheap. and is half as heavy as air.
Pure hydrogen gas has seven times as
much lifting power, since it is is 141z
times as light as air. But hydrogen
gas is expensive. 1t now costs from
1928 to 81 per 1000 feet. 1t has never
been made on a large scale, as there
has been no demand for II In quantity.
Germany is soon TO have this state
OF affairs rectified. for company has
been formed to manufacture hydrogen
on a large scale by new processes that
viii reduce its price to s thousand.
The companS VIII establish plants
throughout central Europe so that the
gas Will not need costly transportation
in steel cylinders At these plants the
sailor of the air will replenish his
lifting power as the motorist now gets
gasoline at each stop on his tour.
