QUESTIONABLE EXPENDITURE.

The state highway department should
never have authorized the expenditure
of all of Brattleboro 5 state highway
money in cutting down the grade OF
West river hill This is the opinion
of great majority of those who take
an interest in the road question To-
callv, and The Reformer believes the
same way. The Improvement to be
brought about by reducing the grade
at this particular point will not be
great enough to warrant the outlay of
$500 or $4,000, which is what the
job viii cost before it is finished.
Now that the work is well under
way criticism amounts to little al
though it is possible that it viii pre-
vent the beginning of another such job
without giving the people of the town,
including the local road commissioner,
an opportunity to say what they think
of it. The fact of the matter is that
comparatively few people knew of the
state highway commissioner s inten-
ton to authorize this particular eXpen-
diture until actual work was about to
begin. Efforts were then made to get
the work held up until Commissioner
Gates could come to Brattleboro to-
look over the situation but they were
unsuccessful.
The work that is now under way will
use up all of the town $ special APP
preparation for permanent highway con
struetion, all of the money to which
it is entitled from the state highway
fund for this purpose and an addit-
tional allowance of several hundred dol
lars for blasting. With the miles OF
state road in other parts of the town
that are in need of attention this is alto
gether too much to spend in one place
especially when the place in ques
ton was in comparatively good con
dition in the first place.

loose shirt waist that viii not wrinkle
even if she sleeps in it and a skirt of
Serviceable material are best.
An alcohol lamp or stove on which
a cupful of tea may be made in case
of an emergency is often treasure.
These are made so compactly that they
take up very little space, and enough al
cohol for use may be carried in a small
bottle. There are times and places
where it is impossible TO get bite to
eat. and n package of crackers and
cup of warm tea will often mean the
difference between comfort and ex-
haustion.
For the ocean traveller the alcohol
stove is a boon There are, however,
many other things which the summer
vacationist will find useful. Two of
these are illustrated here. One is
toilet bag. 1t contains powder and
puff and is so neat and compact that
it may be carried in the pocket. The
bag is made Of satin ribbon and is en-
broidered with a wreath of forgetme-
nots. The other bag, which is of can
vas worked with a flower pattern in
cross stitch, can be opened and laid
fat by releasing the ribbons which
gather it together at the sides. The
handles are covered with ribbon The
bag is fitted with sewing utensils and
materials needed in keeping the tray
elers wardrobe in order.
For the ocean traveller there are
many conveniences sold in the shops
Alcohol fatirons are appreciated by
women. They have the advantage over
electric flats that they can be as cas-
uy used in a little village which never
heard of electricity as they can be in
town. The alcohol is poured into a
small tank at the broad end of the
iron and supplies perforated tube
which is lighted
Book or magazine bags which hang
from the arm of the steamer chair by
two straps which clasp securely shut is
| a novelty. They are made of heavy
suede leather in variety of colors.
They are great convenience, for they
enable the traveller on deck to keep
track of her reading matter without
/ trouble. They are also used by motor
lists. made up to match the fittings OF
! the car, to hang over the robe bar for
/ holding road books and guides.
| A convenient folding hat stand may
/ be had for dollar. 1t is made of two
/ pieces of wood shaped like inverted rs.
4 which fit together to make firm based
stand. When they are not in use they
are taken apart and packed in a thin
pasteboard box not much bigger than
handkerchief box. They are effective
ly decorated with painted design.

We presume the old controversy as
to whether the battle of Bennington
was fought on Vermont or New York
soil, to which the papers in Benning-
ton and Hoosick Falls contributed sew
eral interesting chapters a few years
ago, viii break out again, now that
Gov. Sulzer has signed a bill appro-
priating $685. for acquiring and pre-
serving as a park land at Walloomsac
In memorandum accompanying his
approval of the measure the governor
says: Our sister state of Vermont has
given much prominence to the part in
this battle taken by its citizens and
which occurred upon its territory.
With commendable enterprise it has
given to the land within its borders
upon which a part of the battle was
fought and to those who participated
IN the battle such prominence that
many of our citizens have been mis-
led into the belief that the battle
of Bennington" was fought entirely up
on Vermont soil and not upon the soil
Of the state of New York, whereas the
fact of history is that the important
part of that battle was fought on the
land provided to be purchased by this
bill in Walloomsac valley in Rensselaer,
county. >

WHEN GOING
ON A JOURNEY
The Wise Woman Lessons Its
Inconvenience by the Use Of
Many Simple and Inexpensive
Contrivances.

@HE summer vacation season is
at hand, and many woman
is considering ways and means
as well as eXpedients fol
making it more comfortable.
Men, of course, do not mind the dis
comforts of a journey so much as WON
en-, but the latter have the advantage
in that they may, without fear of ridi-
cule, adopt for their use the many con
trivances invented for making a jour
pey tolerable.
The woman who expects TO be on the
train overnight should take, besides the
usual toilet utilities in the shape of
brushes, combs, soap, etc, a few sim
pie remedies that may be of use in
case she is taken i'll. One of the great
menaces to the comfort of the feminine
traveller is drafts. Quinine capsules OF
her fayorite remedy for warding off az
ncipient cold may be needed. Travel
ing at night, especially if mountains
are crossed, is apt to be chilly.
If she has a long coat to slip on ovel
her gown it will serve to protect i
from the dust and smoke during the
day and to keep her warm at night. i
is also convenient for slipping over he
/ negligee when she goes to and from
/ the dressing room A veil to tie Owe
/ the head, one of the heavy motorin:
1 wells, will keep the hair from becoming
| disarranged. If she does not have
/ sleeper she can be very comfortable i
/ she slips on the long coat, ties the vel
around her head to protect it from
drafts and makes an improvised bed 0
the seat. Her bag may be laid at on
end of the seat and a cushion or cloth
ing folded over it to make a pillow.
Whether she travels on the coach o
in the sleeper, it is wise to wear yer.
plain and comfortable clothing. ]

Bird NentrIIooui.ts.

Ventriloquism is not confined solely
to the human race. There are many
birds whose notes it is almost impos-
sible Ito place"
Take the corncrake, with its harsh
"Crake. crake" One moment the
sound is by your feet, the next fifty
yards away. The grasshopper is an
other offender in this respect. Its
sibilant note is hard TO locate.
The English sedge warbler goes one
better. Not only is it an accomplished
ventriloquist, but it will mimic or paro-
dy the song of other birds. In lesser
degree the robin and the crow pos
sess these powers, and foreign doves
come under the same category.
In Brazil the bell bird is exception
ally skillful with its voice, while the
chickadee invariably deceives the lis
tener. Canada boasts of a partridge
which is known to deceive sportsmen
as to its whereabouts for hours Gu end.

To Impersonate a Dwarf.

For this humorous deception a table
should be arranged between two rooms
separated by portieres or in a deep
window recess. One of the performers
then puts her hands into a child's
stockings and little boots or shoes. To
disguise her face put a small piece Of
court plaster over one of her front
teeth, darken the eyebrows with lit
tie water color and arrange the hair in
some unaccustomed fashion. Add a
little rouge and powder to the disguise.
Then put on 4 bonnet and shawl. As
two performers are required, another
young lady, carefully concealed by the
window curtains. stands behind the
first and. passing her arms around her,
supplies the dwarf's arms and hands.
The table is then drawn up, and the
booted hands rest upon it, and per-
feet dwarf appears to stand upon the
table. She may introduce herself as
Mrs. Melchizedek Stady Canton and
speak in favor Of extending woman's
rights to all women less than four feet
high, etc.

work over all the states. New Hamp-

Jail for Speed Maniacs.

Rules, regulation and laws bearing
upon the owning and operating of
automobiles are of course necessary.
but no matter how strict they are
there will never be reasonable immuni-
ty from horrifying accidents until the
punishment. of speed maniaes is made
to fit their offense. The insolence and
contempt with which many drivers con
tinue to defy the laws can only be met
by severe punishment of the proven
guilty in the form Of imprisonment
Fines have little deterrent effect. Fatal
accidents are still occurring almost
daily, and liquor and reckless speeding,
one or both, are the invariable cause.
The determination of the highway com
missioners to investigate every serious
accident in the state Is to be commend
ed, and this moves them to request all
automobilests to report eases promptly.
The request should meet with qquicl1
