Montpelier, Aug. II. -Myron ]. Hill,
foreman of construction for the Consol

narrowly escaped death in an automo-
bile accident in the Pioneer section short
ly before $3.50 tonight when his ma
chine veering to one side of the road to
avoid collision with another car over
turned and rolled down a steep embank-
ment, landing bottom side up with Hill
underneath. Before he could be ex-
tricated flames from a stream of gaso-
line that spurted from the broken tank

the fire had not reached Hill when the
car was lifted and the helpless man was
rescued. He was found to be severely
hurt. A passing auto took him to his
home where an examination revealed a
fractured left rib, Injuries to the left

Meanwhile the car was being colsum-

telephone and Chief Pattee went to the
scene with the hose cart but on his ar
rival he found NJ thing but the charred
wood and twisted metal remaining.
Hill was returning from trip to Water
bury and was alone in the car. He says
he was proceeding slowly when sudden
ly he saw another machine coming
towards him. He steered quickly tc
one side. The wheels slid in the direct.

could make another turn of the wheel
the car shot over the bank.

ROAD LAWS AND MANNERS.

Good manners need no law, just as
good wine needs no bush. Our con.
temporary, Automobile Topics, says
that more careful observance of the
rules of the road and fewer accidents
will result, not when better laws are
made, not when more arrests are made,
but when the person of disorderly incli-
nation learns self-restraint through pre-
cept and example. That will be when
the millennium is at hand. Precept and
example make little impression on the
ioy-rider. They count for little. in
fact, with those autocrats at the steer
ing wheel who make a practice of in
tlmidating the pedestrian. The risks
OF the road are so numerous that they
ought to teach caution to every automo-
biist, but it is evidently a hard lesson
to learn. Every day the road is strewn
with the wrecks of good intentions.
The motorist who keeps a clean record
is hardly less lucky than prudent. So
there is all the more need of stringent
laws, which should be vigorously en-
forced, to suppress the disorderly per-
son who makes little or no attempt to
learn self-restraint and respect the
rights of others.
These reckless drivers are exceptions
to the rule, but that fact makes them
none the less dangerous. 1t is a condi-
ton, not theory, that calls for action,
and the law abiding automobilist is
doing well not alone to practice what he
breaches in the way of good manners
on the road, but to uphold the author
tiles who are endeavoring to make the
road safe for all. AS a matter of fact
the careful automobilist suffers with
the pedestrian when the speed maniac
is running amuck. 1t may be that
there will be great reformation in the
course of time. Let US hope so. But
for the present it will be better to
waste no fine words on the disorderlv
person. What he needs is retirement.
to think over the error of his ways. -

AUTO DRIVERS.

Anyone who ever has occasion to
observe and comment on his observa-
tions is impressed with the number of
automobile accidents. both in the coun-
try and the city. The country accident
generally involves only those who are
in the machine, while in the city the
pedestrian, who is trying to pick his
way across a congested street, NAV be
the victim rather than those who are
riding in the car.
The number of mishaps makes one
wonder whether proper precautions are
taken by the various states in the
granting of automobile driving Ii .enses
to individuals. 1t is well known that
the man who runs an engine on a rail
road must first show fitness before he
is put on the right side of the cab. He
must have demonstrated, that he is a
man who can be trusted, he must be
willing to steer clear of the flowing bowl
and in many other ways prove to the
satisfaction of the officials that he is a
competent man.
How different it is with the automo
bile driver. If a man has a house on
which he may place mortgage and get
a machine, or if he is able to get one
without resort to this common practice.
he has no trouble in getting his license.
There is no test of his fitness other
than in most superficial way. 1t mat
tiers not whether he is disciple OF John
Barleycorn and there is no way of tell
ing whether he will indulge in the fate
full joy ride until after he has received
his license.
All of which prompts the question,
Are the various States careful enough
in granting licenses?" The engineer

FRIDAY. AUGUST "a, 1913.
THE WATER SHORTAGE.

Except for occasional showers no rain
has fallen in this section of Vermont
for several weeks, and as a result of the
drouth a serious condition has developed
in many cities and villages, Barre being
included in the list. Water is so short
in the reservoirs of the municipal and
village water systems that warnings
have been issued in some places against
waste, to be followed perhaps by COM
plete suspension of the use of the water
for manufacturing purposes if the dry
season remains a few days longer.
Therefore it behooves the users of the
various water systems to be very care
full of the water and to prevent any I'M
reasonable waste. Barre would be hard
hit in particular if its granite manufact-
uring industry should be forced to sus-
pend operations, or any portion of it,
because of the shortage of water.
Then, there is another side of the
drouth which causes uneasiness through
out Vermont. 1t is the liability to out
DreaK OF grass and forest fires. The
vegetation and the woods are like finder
as the result of the prolonged lack of
rain and the tossing of a lighted match,
or cigar, or the abandoning of camp
fire, is likely to start a copfagration
which would sweep over wide area
and cause great loss of property in
standing timber. Moreover, the danger
would be greater because there is very
little water with which to fight the ad-
vance of the flames. Even villages
would in some cases be hard put to it
for water to fight fire in their buildings.
With those facts in mind, can anyone
be so thoughtless as to throw burning
match, lighted cigar or cigarette into
the woods or fields? Or leave a camp
fire burning?- Times.

showed when the melody was carried to
her brain was most gratifying to Mrs.

possesses remarkable sweetness of tone.

undoubtedly caught the strains.
