Mexico, and Wyoming, and also in most
of the Canadian Provinces, and in
Mexico, Porto Rico, and Cuba, accord
ing to a bulletin issued today by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. The bull
letin also shows that % states and 16
cities have permanent and travelling
exhibits besides the two operated by
the National association itself, the total
number of such displays being over 200,
including about $50 small school
exhibits.
The first tuberculosis exhibit in
America was shown by the Maryland
tuberculosis commission in January,
1904. In 1906 there were four such
exhibits. Today practically all of the
larger cities of the country have such
displays, and in twenty-five states
comprehensive campaigns have been
carried on with them. These exhibits
are visited annually by millions of
people.
The American tuberculosis exhibition
of the National association is complet-
ing six years of continuous service,
during that time it has been shown
under three flags, in the United States,
Mexico, and Canada, and has been dis
played in p states, including every
southern state east of the Mississippi,
except West Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware. The Western tuberculosis
exhibit of the National association, just
closing its season in Butte, Montana,
has been shown in Illinois, Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Okla
homa, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and
Montana.
As a result of the general educational
campaign through the various eXhi-
billions on tuberculosis, millions OF
pieces of literature have been dis
tributed; millions of people shown how
to prevent consumption; and severa
states and cities have been reused tc
take legislative action against thi:

The Symbolic Meaning of Haense
and GreteI

AS in all fairy tales, the story of
Haensel and Gretel is symbolic in char
acter; and in the pantomimic presenta-
ton by The Albert Players on the
Middlebury Campus, July n, this sym
bolism is suggested throughout
Haensel and Gretel typify youth in
its ever varying moods, never able to
continue for any length Of time in one
line of thought or work. They want to
play, they want to eat, they are sad
one moment and joyous the next, moth
ing troubles them for long. Even the
splitting of the milk, which represents
all the food they are likely to get for
some time, is soon forgotten. The
Stepmother signifies the growth and
dissatisfaction which drives the child
rem from home to live and work for
themselves. When Haensel and Gretel
first view the outside world, or what
lies outside of home, the boy hesitates,
he thinks it might be better to live his
life surrounded by the things he is
accustomed to rather than venture into
the unknown. Gretel, more coura-
geous and also with less worldly knoWl-
edge says that 1.-THE world is better
than to be trouble to those at home
and they depart joyously The Father,
representing paternal love, and the one
who provides, feels that his children
can never grow up and care for them
selves. He worries about them, and is
sure that they will be devoured by the
Witch who symboizes those silent evils
in the world, that work, snake like, out
of sight and in the dark, always ready
to strike and injure.
The second act represents the en-
chanted wood, or the world where the
children are discovered working happily.
Gretel is artistic, Haensel, like the
father, is the provider Grete has her
first great disappointment in the world
of enchantment when her first efforts
toward creating the beautiful, repre-
scented by the wreath, are scorned and
rejected. Through her trouble and sor-
row. Haensel realizes that he must be
her knight and helper and crowns her
queen of the world. AS the clouds
gather and the night of trouble APP
proaches, imagination causes the child
rem to turn even familiar objects into
things of evil and they think the
shadows are ready to devour them.
The Sandman makes them oblivious.
The Witch tries to draw near and in
iure them, but their good fairies ever
watch and protect them The father
always looking for his children follows
them into the world but never quite
regains them.
In the third act Haensel and Gretel
find the kingdom of appetite; and now
the Witch thinks she has them in her
power. But they conquer the Witch
and by their victory release many others
who have been enchanted. The father
realizes that the children are no longer
young and that they are able to care
for themselves and for him. We now
discover that the Step-motheris another
name for maternal care and over-zeal-
Gus love. All ends happily.

The New York Sun heads an appre
ciative editorial regarding Vermont
mountain scenery, with the expression
vermont Waking Up, which is not
exactly just, inasmuch as the subject
discussed is one that has been receiving
the quiet but persistent attention and
development of Vermonters for some
time past. This slip of the Suns how
ever, will be overlooked in view of the
fact that the article itself is fair and
accurate and the very evident purpose
is to do full justice to Vermont's
natural attractions and the efforts of
her citizens to preserve them in their
complete beauty and for the benefit
and enjoyment of the people of the

prompted to come within her borders. -

LONDON, December oS, 1910
The exhibition at Turin, which will
be opened by the King Of Italy April
% next. will be situated on the out
skirts Of the city, on both sides Of the
River Pc. at a point where it flows
through a narrow valley. AS the river
is very shallow 1t has been deepened
by dredging, and the level of the water
raised by means Of dams, so that a
service Of motor boats may be estab-
lished and nautical displays take place
There being only one permanent bridge
at this point. others are being con-
structed Of which the largest will have
two surfaces, one for moving platforms
and one for pedestrians.
To Be Large Exhibition.
The exhibition will be one of the
largest yc. i.eld, it's area being about
100000 square meters, Of which ESQ.,
900 square meters will be covered. The
British section, Of which a handsome
model is on view at the exhibitions
department of the board of trade, is
finely situated on the town side Of the
river, in the Valentino Park. and near
the medieval castle and village, which
have long formed one Of the chief at
fractions of Turin.
1t has a highly decorated facade,
fanked on each side by galleries with
colonnades. The frontage is surmount-
ed by the large dome of the central
hall. Immediately in front are foun-
tains and gardens, sloping down to the
Pc. Adjoining this section is the
spacious machinery hall.
On the other side of the river, in
practically uninterrupted line mile
and half in length. are the pavilions,
each of distinctive architecture. of the
United States, Germany. France. Bel
GUM and the South American republics.
Wood is being used extensively in the
construction of the buildings, and as q
result of the fire at the Brussels exhi-
bition. special safeguards are being in
troduced. which. it is believed, will re-
duce the risk of serious conf1agration
almost to vanishing point. Particular
care is being taken in the electric in
stalIations to prevent short-circuiting
An industrial awakening is now taking
place in Italy, of which it is obviously
desirable that American traders should
take full advantage.

Misouoted in Accounts of Lecture.

Referring to the lecture which he gave
Thursday evening before the local chap
ter of the American Institute of Bank
ing, Willis J. Fowler, deputy controller of
the currency, today voiced an objection
to the statements attributed to him in a
published account of his lecture.
Mr.. Fowler spoke on Bank Organiza-
tion,'' but be reclared that he had made
no invidious comparisons between the
banks of America and the banks of
Great Britain. On this point Mr.. Fowler
explained he did say that the number of
banks in the United States was not only
greater actually but relatively than in
the United Kingdom, and he objected to
the quotation which depicted him as say
ing that American banks are of far
greater utility to the masses than those
of Europe and also that 1.-The facilities
were superior" Mr.. FOwler's lecture was
the eighth given during the present sea-
son under the auspices of the local chap
ter's educational committee.

YEARS FIRE LOSSES HEAVY.
More Than $4,000, 900 in Excess Of
Damage in 1910.

CHICAGO. January 7.-Statistics made
public here today show that losses by fire
in the United States and Canada in 1910
amounted to 1924, 47O.65O. or over $4,000
600 more than the losses in 1909. Decem-
Der losses were exceptionally heavy, ag-
gregating S21.52s.OOO.
There were thirty-six fires during the
year which caused a damage of $5OO,OOO
or more and in ten the loss exceeded
100000 each. In only three preceding
years have the fire losses been heavier
than in 1910. one being the year of the
Chicago fire, the other Of the San Fran
cisco fire.
Federal and state officials agree that
the majority of these losses are prevent
able, most OF them being due to careless
ness Of one form or another, and are
urging that a reduction of this fire waste
be made a part of the campaign for con-
servation of natural resources. In spite
of the increasing losses, it is said that the

ing, who performs the work If stenog.
rapher shall be eligible to appointment
to positions requiring knowledge OF

Request Is Denied.
The President referred the petition to
the United States civil service commits
sion, and the recommendations made by
that commission have been approved by
the President. The request is uenied on
the ground that the law will not permit
such a preferential list as that first
specified in the petition, and because it
would be bad policy to give such prefer
ence to the detriment of classes of en-
ployes now eligible for transfer The
other requests made in the petition are
