are much more fortunate than most of
the towns on the West River railroad
as we have the stage route from Saxtons

i-Club Voted to Make Canvass
for Flood Sufferers

4 regular meeting of the Brattle-
boro Woman 5 club was held yesterday /
afternoon in the Congregational chapel. |
Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd of Amherst |
spoke on Tripoli, telling of her inter !
csting personal experiences in that /
country with her husband, Prof. David /
Todd, when Prof. Todd conducted eX-
petitions sent from Amherst to make
observations of eclipses- of the sun. In
the five years which elapsed between
the two journeys Mrs. Todd said that
Tripoi had undergone changes similar
to those which have occurred IN Homo
lulu and Manila, and that with the
arrival Of sanitation aud good business
conditions the city has lost much OF
its picturesqueness. 1t still presents
sight of great beauty with its feet III
/ the blue Mediterranean, ITS Whlte
/ houses and streets, separated by a Ihe
| of palms from the yellow Sahara
Tripoli was taken from Italy by the
/ Turks in 1888. and from that time
until last wear, when Italy came into
her own again. all development and
Improvement had been stopped. Now
the country will be used as an over
flow for Italy's colonies, and Will be
come the garden spot of Africa.
Owing to the disarrangement of
train service Mrs. Todd was obliged
tn leave Amherst soon after : o'clock,
and make part of the journey by au-
tomobile, reaching BrattlebOrO at ).
She spoke about half an hour and re
turned to Amherst at 4.15 because
there was no possibility of taking a
later train. For this reason the business
session came at the close of the meet
ing. Notice was given of minor changes
E / in the constitution, to be voted upoI
Nav I; also that the annual collection
of rubber to be sold for the benefit o
the free kindergarten, would be mad
