"St. Elmo" has been read by mill
lions of people, and is to be found in
most every home and at all public IL
braries. The remarkable demand for
the book only proves its popularity.

that are attracted nightly to witness
its presentation give proof positive of
It's success. The company has been
selected with great care. and the

DUTY ON CREAM sEpARAToRs.

Writing to the Burlington Free Press,
Gen, n. G. Williams, Of the Vermont
Farm Machine Co., of Bellows Falls,
which manufacturer cream separators,
takes up the current statement that
these dairying implements are sold in
Vermont at 1925 each and in Canada
for $40 each in carload lots, and says:
"The above statement is entirely mis-
leading. Mr.. Hill has confused the
wholesale price of the smaller sizes of
cream separators with the retail price
of larger sizes. The reader would get
the impression that there is a wide diff
ference in our prices in Vermont and
Canada, whereas, so far as we are con-
cerned, the truth is otherwise. 1t must
be remembered that the difference in
price between our smallest size farm
separator and our largest size farm sep
arator is more than one hundred dollars.
Under similar conditions there is but one
price for Vermont and Canadian farm
e-s."
But the conditions are, not similar,
Under present laws, Canada admits
cream separators free of duty, while
the United States imposes duty Of
45 per cent. on separators imported.
We do not understand that the Gen.
eral objects to their free admission into
Canada, and if the United States took
off the As per cent import duty, there
could be no question of lower price
in Canada than in Vermont. The pro-
posed reciprocity agreement makes them
free both ways.

A REAL DANGER POINT.

The local agitation which was start.
ed before the board of aldermen last
evening regarding the matter of protec-
ton for occupants of public buildings
in Barre follows as a natural sequence
of the factory fire horror in New York
City last Saturday. Each recurrence of
such horrors brings a fresh wave of re-
form Following the Iroquois theatre
holocaust in Chicago several years ago,
great good was accomplished through
out the country, in the shape of install
ling safeguards for the lives of people
gathered in buildings Barre felt the
effects of the reform wave, and nearly
all the public buildings were equipped
with fire. escapes, and the entrance doors
were made to swing outward. If there
are a few chances still left for reform,
then the recent agitation will prove of
much value. As to the public school
buildings, The Times is informed that
the outside doors of all are so construct
ed as to swing outward, but that all or
practically all the room doors swing in
ward. Whether the conditions are such
as to warrant the changing of the in
ner doors is matter for discussion.
Certainly the intent and the letter of
the law are being followed in the ar
rangement of the exits from the build
ings.
But the danger there is small in com

which is used for public purposes. That

street, which is now used for a gym.
nasium and for public exhibitions of
basketball by the two local schools and
by various other organizations The exit
from this hail is woefully inadequate
to the needs. Oftentimes several hun
bred people are assembled in the build
ing, and there is but single exit from
the floor of the hall. Moreover, this
exit is not wide enough TO permit more
than single file of persons going out.
Furthermore, the door is located in a
corner of the hall, making the approach
to it all the more inaccessible. Frequent
ly the hall is so crowded that many
minutes are required before the hall is
entirely cleared Of occupants. just what
might happen in those minutes in case
of a panic has been on the minds of
a great many people, who have been
cooped in the structure, with a stove
blazing away in one corner of the room
and the basketball players tanning
against the stove at frequent intervals.
Perhaps the chances for fire are remote;
but the chances for a panic are not re-
mote with the audiences already aroused
TO intense nerve strain because of the
contest they are watching. One cry of
fire" would send the huddled people
young people Notwithstanding toward
the single exit in the corner; and the
results might be sad to relate. To for
fend the possibility, some steps ought
to be taken at once to remedy the very
defects in construction, either
by widening the single entrance or by
providing at least one other entrance
