MAKING TT A HABIT.

With the annual spring cleanup weeks being arranged for the purpose of bettering the appearances of cities, it is apparent that the good service to which the idea, so faithfully carried out within the house can be put, in bettering outside appearances. is read fly appreciated and applied.
 Continued practice creates the habit and the New Haven Register in urg- ing it. says: will it not be possible in time to incuIcate the cleanup habit so that it will operate automa tically? :? Evidently that is the purpose. but hab- it's. especially good ones. are not formed in 8 minute The old fashion of a housekeeping upheava1 once year or oftener is giving place to the persuasion of modern invention. The vacuum cleaner at least mitigates in some degree the violence of house. cleaning. So should the cleanup habit grow. It is possible to so attend to public cleanliness all through the year as to make unnecessary a general cleanup in April. But so steady, up to now. is the n-pouring of new cit izens from parts where the doctrine of public cleanliness is not taught that the annual instruction will be needed for a long time It is the habit, of course. that we are aiming at''
 Every good public accomplishment requires constant attention and push. It is the example and the desire for the benefits of cleanup week. or the constant attention to keeping wards and streets tidy which are going to have the greatest effect in creating the cleanup habit and it will ba some time before the annual reminder can be dis pensed with

AMBASSADOR PAGE.

When President Wilson made his selection of ambassador to Great Bfi- tain he chose a man at the age which, from that standpoint alone. permits of the rendering of the best service. MT. Page should be at his best for, the handling of the duties of the office of diplomat and his activity should in no way be impaired by advanced age, which might have no detrimental eff feet in an intellectual filling of the position, but would be liable to eper- ate as a physical handicap.
 In the acceptance of the post it is recognized that MT. Page is not a man of great wealth or of the nation al repute of his predecessors, though accomplished, and in view of the de-
 mands which are usually considered necessary in the life of a diplomat, his career as a statesman will be closely watched. When he declares The em- bassy will be modest. and we hope dignified' it indicates that he may be expecting to establish a new standard of conduct as to the policy of enter taining and living which will be sufd- cient but not too elaborate simply for the sake of display and the squan- dering of money. He has the oppor tunity of demonstrating, if possible without loss of prestige, that an Amer ican ambassador can conduct his em- bassy within his salary and that there is no need of spending s1o0,00 for 8 job which pays only s17,5oe. If he can do it he will have accomplished something which predecessors gave lit tie consideration to. It is hardly probable that he will attempt such a radical change. but he is evidently of the inclination that his service to his country can be best displayed as 3 diplomat rather than as an enter tainer, though in diplomacy the latter plays important part.

ABOUT THE STATE
HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST FROM
DIFFERENT SECTIONS

Dustin Greig's life was saved at Lyn-
don last week only by cutting a tele-
phone wire, which had become crossed by
an electric wire. Greigs is a lineman
and was working on the wires one day
last week when the accident occurred.
He was terribly burned, but his cries
soon brought assistance.
In collision in st. Johnsbury be-
tween motorcycle and carriage, Newell
Drulet, who was operating the cycle,
had his right leg broken above the knee
and one arm severely bruised; James
Freeman, who was riding in the side
car of the cycle, was bruised about the
face and badly cut below one knee, and
the occupants of the carriage, Mrs. Ber-
tina Sparrow, her son. and mother, Mrs.
Russell, were thrown to the ground, but
were not seriously injured. The carriage
was demolished. The motorcycle be-
longed to Louis Drulet of Lowell, and he
had told his brother not to use it, While
the family were at supper, Newell took
the wheel and no damage occurred until
he tried to shut off the power, and, in
stead, increased it to what witnesses
claim was sixty miles an hour. 1t was
then he ran into the rear of the team.
