AND He CAN'T GET
away To MARRY
THE ONLY REASON is THAT HIS
WIFE WON'T LET
so
%. HIM.

NEW YORK. May 21.--The only
reason that Jules E. Brulatour, film
manufacturer, hasn't yet married Miss
Dora Gibson, a vocal student, is that
his wife won't let him.
This fact was brought out today
in the Supreme court when Attorney
Spaulding announced to Justice
Justice Platzek that the suit OF Mrs.
Julia l.. Smith, widow OF Frank p.
Smith, against Mr.. Brulatour had
been settled for $4,000.
Louis Steckler, counsel for Mrs
Smith. had already brought testimony
that on the night her husband was
killed by Brulatour's automobile
the car was occupied by Miss Gibson
and two of her young women friends,
of whom one still lives with her and
the other Is a visitor from Chicago.
Frank p. Smith was a hat salesman
-he testimony showed that Brula-
tour himself knew nothing personally
about the accident. but tho attorney
for the plaintiff brought out the fact
that Miss Gibson had been riding a
great deal in Mr.. Brulatour's car, al
though she did not know Mrs Brula-
tour. The manufacturer, ON the wit
ness stand. declared that he intended
to marry Miss Gibson as soon as he
got a divorce.
"Do you, a married man." asked
the lawyer, mean to tell this court
and jury that you are engaged to this
young LADY,"
Yes" replied Brulatour.
DO you intend to bring suit for
divorce against your wife,"
No. sir. My wife intends to bring
a suit against me-"

FLYING UPSIDE DOWN.

The performance of Pegoud, a French
aviator, in "looping the loop in an aero
plane has been called foolhardy in the
extreme and the daring performer has
been criticized for apparently tempting
fate in almost certain form; yet his
performances constitute the greatest adj
vance in aviation since first the machines
Were harnessed to fly through the AIR.
From the time since men-and then
women-began seorching through the
skies there has been the constant fear OF
capsizing of their machines and the con-
sequent hurting of the occupants to the
ground to instant death, How to remove
the possibility of capsizing of the air
craft has been the one great problem.
And now it seems that Pegoad, perhaps
by chance, has made great progress to-
ward solution in a complete somer-
sault and even drove it along upside
down for few seconds, after which he
righted it and sailed along as smooth
ly as if nothing unusual had been ac-
complished. Thus he demonstrated that
the monoplane is capable of flying bot
tom side up as well as in its natural
position and that the aviator, securely
strapped in his seat, is really in little
more danger than is the aviator who
flies on an even line with the machine
in its right position. In short, Pegoud
demonstrated that it is possible to have
an aeroplane which is as nearly incap-
able of capsizing as is boat incapable
of sinking. If the idea can be worked
out to a practical basis, then tremendous
progress will have been made in the sci.
ence of aviation, for the greatest danger
of air navigation will have been almost
eliminated. Pegoud's performances are
about the most remarkable development
since the aeroplane was first built to
lift itself from the ground.

CURRENT COMMENT
State Expenses.

The annual report of the treasurer of
Vermont shows that the state expenses
are increasing every year but that is
no indication that money is being spent
needlessly or foolishly. If the state
progresses as it should it is only most
natural thing that the amount of money
expended each year should grow. The
largest items of increase are exactly
where they should be, we believe, in the
departments of education and in high
ways. The state spent over one hun
bred and fifty thousand dollars more
for education during the year ending in
June, 1918, that it did the second year
preceding. and over a hundred thou
sand in highways.
Vermont needs good roads, and people
appreciate now more than ever before,
the value of making and maintaining
good highways and each year viii see
an increase in the amount of money

earth in Colebrook in the neighboring
state. 1t seems that everyone in author
ity is leagued against the fellow. Hence
the pity of some people rises uppermost
and sympathy goes out to the bounded
fugitive. 1t betokens generous spirit
as Jerome says, that there is this pity
for the man Thaw, forsaken by about
everyone except his family. But that
is only one side of the story; and it is
the sentimental side.
The other side is the cold fact of the
situation. Thaw shot Stanford White
Thaw was arrested for that crime. He
was, after long and desperate defense,
declared not guilty by reason Of insan-
ity and was committed to New York
state insane asylum. In the eyes of the
law, and, it may be added, in the opin.
ion of large proportion OF the public,
he was insane. He was kept in the
asylum. The gilded young man, accus-
toned by the use of money to have his
own head and ride rough shod wherever
he pleased, ehafed at the confinement.
He made attempt after attempt to Sc
cure freedom by being declared sane. He
failed. He, therefore, was still insane in
the eyes of the law, as well as of the
alienists who were summoned to give
testimony for the state ofsNew York.
Money could not secure Thaw's freedom.
He tried fight. Whether with comfy
ance or not Ia matter to be determined
later), he succeeded in getting out of
Matteawan asylum. Yet he was still
insane in the eyes of the law of New
York. He still is. Therefore, in view
of Thaw's act in killing White and in
view of the fact that the Judgment Of
insanity has not been removed, judg-
ment on which he was declared not gull
ty of the above crime, Thaw's place is
in confinement, notwithstanding the
claims of sympathy for the under dog
in sporting proposition.

SENTIMENT AND FACT IN THE
THAW CASE.

Taking William Travers Jeromes
words at their apparent meaning, there
is certain current of sympathy for
Thaw at the present time because Thaw
is the under-dog in hard fight; and
under-dogs always get certain measure
of sympathy, if not of actual support.
Thaw has been behind bars of prison
or asylum for seven years, has made
frequent legal efforts to get out, only
to be baked, and finally made an extra
ordinary effort to secure freedom, only
to be thwarted once more by capture on
Canadian soil; was held there fighting
deportation, was deported and aftef
scurrying to cover in northern Vermont
and New Hampshire was brought to

spent for that purpose. The school
problem is one which will ever increase
in expenses, as we advance in educa-
tional lines the expense will rise in pro-
portion. There is also an increase in
the military department of the state,
and in the departments of agriculture
and forestry, and in the executive offices.
On the other hand it is expected that
the state tax voted at the last legisla-
ture viii about make up the deficit of
over two hundred thousand dollars,
which was needed to meet the liabilities
of the state, and which are payable dur
ing the year.--Northfield News.
