VIII Run Against Road Commissioner
Perry-A New overseer of Poor.

Bratteboro bids fair TO indulge in a
town meeting next Tuesday fashioned
somewhat on the lines OF some OF those
which have passed into history. IL was
I prOphesied a month ago that there would
/ be nothing 10 do but re-elect the old
\ board OF selectmen, vote a 4O.cent tax,
shake hands with old neighbors and go
home, but month has brought changes IN
public sentiment as one gets II on the
street. During the past week all manner
OF rumors have been circulated about town
as TO probable candidates TO succeed j.
Gilbert Stafford whose term as selectman
expires this week For time il was un-
derstood that Julius l.. Stockwell OF West
BIattleboro would be a candidate, but 1t
was discovered that the postollice depart
mnt, with which Mr.. Stockwell is con-
nected, doesn't countenance its servants
holding political office and accordingly he
was Obliged TO decline the honor. Then the
citizens Of West Brattleboro. TO whom Is
accorded the privilege OF naming a candi-
date suggested Warren l.. Walker and he
has accepted Walter NJ. Robbins who was
talked OF as a candidate announced this
morning that he did not care for the office.
Mr.. Stafford has stated that he will
serve again as seectman if the voters in
sist, but the opinion freely Is expressed
that il is wise 10 elect one new man on
the board every year and that this Is the

(SpringfeId RepubHcan.l
Both parties in the last New Hamp,
shire elections favored ratification of
the income tax amendment. The lower
branch of the legislature has been
faithful to that election pledge, and
voted by large majority for ratifica-
tion. But majority of the senate has
proved faithess in defeating ratifica-
away from popular control for the time
being. these New Hampshire senator's
let themselves fall under the influence
of special and wealthy interests. and
so the will of the voters is defeated.
Is it any wonder that devices such as
the initiative and referendum and re-
call grow irresistiblv in popular favor
all over the country!

BRAND Ministry Quits in France.

The BRAND cabinet in France has
gone ont On test vote of confidence
last week. BRAND was sustained by a
narrow majority of l6. The issue that
proved his downfall was the church
separation policy of the premier.
Though a radical, who has put in force
the measures thus far pursued in that
direction, his course did not satisfy
the faction that urged more precipitate
action. These combined with other
elements. wasted BRAND 5 formerly
strong support His repressive meas
ures in the government railroad strike
also weakened him. NJ. BRAND has
been forceful minister. He could
have held on. but said he was "siek of
il all and wanted to retire. The new
premier is NJ. Monis. a senator, said to
be in harmony with the radicals.

Foolhardx Snake Reaper.

The only fatal case of snake bite on
record, in the London geological gar.
dens was directly due to the foolish
ness Of the victim. He was in charge
of the snakes and, coming in one
morning with some friends, began to
boast of his power over the creatures
and the extent to which they would
submit to be played with by one whom
they knew. This led to practical ex-
periments., The overconident keeper
took an Indian cobra from its COM

Detachable Flower.
he girdle

It must have been the girl of small allowance who invented the detach- able flower for her hat. Trimming the winters chapeaux is so simple that it is an easy matter to whisk of one flower and put on another to match the next costume worn.
 Velvet poinsettias are a favorite flower on winter hats for those who can stand the vivid red so close to the lace.
 Another popular flower is huge vel vet roses in rich dull tones. A new Idea is to outline the edges of these roses with tiny beads to correspond to the color of the costume worn.
 Instead of sewing on the detach- able roses each time, they are pro vided with tiny safety pins on the under side. which are quickly adjusted to tue trimming.

URGENT NEED FOR A NAME

It is thought by some in Germany that the name ''harem skirt" or more horrible still "trouser skirt" is the only thing that prevents the spread and general use of this much talked of article of wearing apparel. So these same people have offered prize for the best names and have hit up Anna zon" and cavalier" skirt as a result. and hope by keeping these more allur- ing titles before the feminine public to popularize the garment. Not that it needs so much to be popularized. they say. The leading German shops ad- vertise it in bewildering variety. and privately claim that orders are pour ing in to a degree which shows that. like other extreme modes gone be fore. the trousers-er, that is, the cavalier skirt-is sure to conquer in the end But if the more timid fol- lower of fashion buys one, and keeps it hanging in her closet to gaze upon with awe and admiration. yet is afraid to wear a ''trouser" skirt upon the street. by all means let us christen 1t with something softer and more femt nine
