A CLUB FOR EVERY MAN.
Ch stian Bro h h o d Club
Formed in MiddIebury.

The organization of a Christian
Brotherhood by representative men of
Middlebury Tuesday evening was the
first complete act in establishing club
in Middebury which shall be non-par
tisan, non-sectarian, non-fraternal in
its scope and purposes. The meeting
was presided over by Principal A. S.
Hartman, and DIR. H. L. Averill was
elected temporary chairman. After a
discussion of the purposes of the organ
ization two articles of a constitution
were adopted. These have to do with
membership and the list of officers and
standing committees. Men who are
twenty-one years of age or more may be-
come members by signing the member
ship book, which will Ike kept open for
/ signatures at Slafter's drug store for
/ one week; after that, new members will
/ be received upon recommendation of the
membership committee. On motion of
Professor Morgan the chair appointed
committee to draft further articles of
/ the constitution and report at the next
meeting for approval; the committee.
consists of Professor Mcfarland,
Joseph Peck andRev. D. H. Cork
ran. A committee of five to serve
as nominating committee of Of
ficers Of the Brotherhood was ap-
pointed. who will report at the next
meeting after a careful canvas of the
field to determine who are the most de-
sirable men for these responsible po-
sitions. The nominating committee
consists of Rev. D. H. Corkran, Rev.
r. B. Esten, Rev. A. A. Lancaster,
Professor Morgan and John Slater
The meeting was adjourned to meet at
the High school building at seven-thirty
Wednesday, April 2.
What does the Brotherhood propose
to do? First, to secure the membership
of all men of Middlebury who are in
terested in the religious, social and civic
uplift of the community. No tests of
church membership, party lines, or
social and business standing are i'm
posed. 1t is expected that professional
men, merchants, farmers, and all other
classes of citizens will identify them
selves with the Brotherhood to help and
be helped. Second, the Brotherhood
will act as a publicity bureau in promot-
ing the interests of Middlebury at home
and abroad. We have no board of trade
in town and the organization can well do
much of the work that this body of men
does for other communities. Again,
the organization may become allied with
the Greater Vermont movement and in
this way receive direct benefit from the
statewide plan for civic betterment.
There are innumerable ways in which
the brotherhood will be of benefit to
Middlebury, in promoting the discussion
of questions of local interest, in helping
to promote good citizenship among the
youth of the village, in cooperating
with existing local societies that work
for special interests, and in keeping
in closer touch with the schools of the
town. About thirty men have sub
scribed to the membership list of the
= Brotherhood and there is room for
double that number to enroll their
names as charter members before the
next meeting.

COLOR BLINDNESS.
II Takes Some Peculiar Twists In the
Matter of Heredity.


Professor Bateson I'm lecturing be.
fore the Royal institution on "Heredity
of Sex" related some curious facts
which had been discovered as the re-
suit of examining several generations
of family In which color blindness
appeared.
A color blind woman was very rare
~ found. and she was always the
daughter of color blind man. Her
sons and daughters would be normal
and her sons families would be nor
NAL. but If her daughters had sons
they would be found TO be normal and
color blind In equal numbers.
A curious anomaly with reference to
color blindness appeared in twin girls.
They were exactly alike in appearance,
but one girl was color blind and the
other not. No explanation Of this ex-
ception has been found
Professor Bateson said that there
was a popular belief that sons in GER
tain respects took after their mothers
and daughters after their fathers.
Within a reasonable range of speculG-
ton this was so AS TO sons taking
after their mothers. they saw this In
the experience of their own families

whv Clocks Get out Of Order.

The reason why mantelpiece clocks
so often get ont of order is so obvious
that 1t is strange that attention to 1t
has not been drawn before. A London
clockmaker said:
''It is because mantelpieces are rare
ly level If a clock meant for man
telpiece is not placed in an exactly
horizontal position it is sure to go
wrong When the clock gains or loses
because of its santing position people
regularly move the hands forward or
backward. as the case may be, in or
der to adjust 1t. Eventually the clocks
hands are moved about so much that
the mechanism gets out OF order and
the clock refuses even to tick. Watches
and travelling clocks are constructed
differently from the stationary clock,
and they will go in any position. That
is why they are relied upon more than
the ornamental mantelpiece Clock

The Enolish Breakfast

England has known many changes
during recent years. Caste lines have
been obiterated. the silk hat is no
longer an object OF reverential wor-
ship, actors have been knighted and
bands introduced into restaurants. But
the breakfast table is the last ditch OF
British conservatism. The Englishman
eats bacon and eggs 365 mornings in
the year and welcomes leap year be-
cause it enables him to indulge in that
delightful dish 366 times. The mon
archy may be abolished and the house
of lords deprived of its prerogative.
but the English breakfast will remain
as 1t was in the days of the conqueror.
