This bill propounds the novel doc
trine that proprietary rights on land
do not extend to the air, at least not
above the height of buildings, and
that therefore ayiators have right
to fly over any mans land. They
are forbidden, however, TO land on
inclosed property near dwellings
without permission. and they are
made liable for all damages which
they may be shown to have commit
ted, either by landing or in a flight.
All private aircraft must be licensed
and must display conspicuously their
license numbers, The carrying OF
explosives, arms, ammunition, photo
graphic apparatus and carrier
pigeons is prohibited without special
license.
These provisions are likely to be
widely considered as providing pos
sible model for legislation elsewhere
1t is certain that some legislation
will be necessary in all civilized ma
tions. It will be interesting to OBJ
serve the action of other countries
upon the denial OF landowners rights
in the air above their land.

Ex-Queen Amalie of Portugal
might be called the Colonel Roosevelt
of European royalty. She does not
intend to have people discussing her
private life and affairs unless they
are sure they know what they are
talking about. Hence she has given
warning that unless certain individ~
uals cease connecting her name with
that of Count Vassalaes, there is go
ing to be some trouble. Amalie says
she does not intend to marry the
Count, Therefore the talk of not being
allowed to do so by her royal son is
quite absurd. She further indicates
that IL she desired TO rewed, her own
wishes would be the only ones to re.
ceive serious consideration.

LETTERS FROM MISS WINSLOW
Has Been Asking Former VeTmOnters
to Aid Teachers Pension Fund


Miss Helen M. Winslow has been
appealing for aid to Vermont teach
ers in establishing an endowment
fund for teachers pensions She
has received $500 for the cause. The
letter follows:
Shirley, Mass, Sept. 20, 1913.
Dear Friends:
Years ago. hope not too many,
you went to school in Vermont.
In those day didn't you have one
or more teachers to whose unself-
ish devotion and sterling upright
ness of character you still feel that
you owe something of what you are?
l did, and believe you did, if you
will only stop to think of it.
Well, now comes the time to show
your appreciation of that teacher,
and to do something to uphold the
honor of your beloved state as we'll.
You know, of course, how hard the
Vermont Teachers Benefit Fund As
ISOLATION is working to raise the nee
essary sum for that Endowment
Fund; you know all about shat vote
of the Vermont Legislature last year,
granting Vermont Teachers a Pension
Retirement Fund provided that this
Association raised $4,000 by
November of this year? At least
one-half that sum must be raised
within a few weeks. Won't you
help?
The law as passed calls for joint
effort by the teachers and the State;
/. e., the state is to contribute an
nually an amount equal to that when
the teachers shall succeed In rails
ing mot to exceed $40, 000), until a
permanent fund of 100000 is secur-
ed. The teachers have worked, and
are working necessarily. Shall they be
allowed to fall short the hrst year?

plish much more if the farmers
would respond more quickly. The
farmers should realize they are pay
ing for his work and do what they
are asked as a benefit to them
selves. They must get behind him
and help if they wish to get the
greatest benefit from his work.
Winter Meetings
Secretary ]. w Titcomb called
attention to the fact it was plan
ned to hold farmers meetings with
the agent wherever desired during
the winter months. and urged every
body who desired a meeting to
make their applications at once.
The purpose of this is to arrange
a series of meetings in the same
section of the county on consecutive
dates and avoid the necessity of
jumping the agent over long dis
tances between two meetings.
