Among generous gifts to institutions
and causes which she has recently made
that of Mrs. l.. A. Ainsworth of Will
Jamestown in erecting memorial cot
tage at the Kurn Hattin homes at West
minister stands out prominently, the
more so because of the good work which
the institution is doing for the young
people OF Vermont. This cottage is de-
signed to give accommodations to a large
number of boys while they are receiving
proper training and instruction in some
practical line of occupation. Already
the accommodations were sufficient for
IS boys. and when the Ainsworth me-
mortal cottage is opened for occupancy
it will greatly enlarge the scope of the
institution. This institution is intended
for boys who, through the death of par
ents, or some adversely, are deprived OF
the benefits of education and proper
home training. While they are students
at the homes they are taught vocational
training and thus enabled to take up
some steady employment when they
leave the institution. In donating a cot
tsge Mrs. Ainsworth has done much Ia
help the boys Of the state.

British navy is far superior to all other
navies in number of vessels; but the
ease with which the destruction was ac-
complished attacks the old-established
theory that the British navy was so
completely the mistress Of the sea IN
strategy. as well as in numbers, that no
untoward occurrence of this sort could
happen. British pride in her navy, adj
mittedly well founded, has received a
setback; there are other navies and 9TH
or naval officers seriously to be reckoned
with in such low grade fighting as that

of the final triumph of the British feet
as compared with the German BY TINS
occurrence. the British will be awakened
TO renewed watchfulness, and possibly
aroused to increased offensive movement.
The German naval arm will most surely
suffer as a result Of this daring blow.
The loss will not go without reprisai;
of that we may be assured.

VOTE FOR C. c. I. A. DELEGATES.
Election to Take Place Soon--There Are
Two Barre Candidates.

Two delegates 70 jcin Presiae2t James
Duncan of Quincy. Mass in represent
inc the Granite Cutters International
Association at the annual convention OF
the American Federation of Labor, TO be
held in Philadelphia next November, are
TO be elected within the coming week ana
interest hereabouts in the election is
waxing keen inasmuch as two OF the
10 candidates on whom granitecutters IN
all North America are to ballot are
members of the Barre local. Out OF a
| list of 30 tentative candidates. MS many
as 20 have been eliminated and members
OF the association are now facing choice
OF two from the printed list OF ten, Ex-
OfIicio, the president of the association,
is a delegate. The two who are to nc,
company him are to be chosen before
Sept. 80 although the successful candi-
dates may not be known until two or
three days In October have elapsed,
Somewhere in the following list are
the names Of the two delegates; c. ),
Afford of Wausau, Wis; K. A. Brown Of
Concord, N. H.. Charles Birnie of

Alexander lronside Of Barre; Thomas
Mcguire of Philadelphia; w. NJ. Riddell
of Knowles, CAL; j. j. Sweeney of New
York City and Angel Truba OF Barre 1t
will be seen that the Barre local has two
candidates, Messrs. Ironside and Truba.
Mr.. Ironside was one of the G. G. |, A.
delegates to the annual convention IN
Seattle, Wash, last year. Under no cir
cumstances can two delegates go from
the same state. In the event that MIR.
Ironside and Mr.. Truba should lead on
the ballot, the higher of the two and the
third highest in the list would be the
choice. In 1918 Mr., Sweeney and Mr..
Garvey, who is now in Midvale, Utah,
were both from New York They polled
the highest number of votes, MIR.
Sweeney leading, He was assured OF a
place on the delegation by reason OF his
lead, but Mr.. Ironside was automatic
ally the next choice, even though he
polled fewer votes than Mr.. Garvey

nearby neighbors. The visit came with
out any inkling having been conveyed 70
Mr.. and Mrs. Rennie, but the unexpected
nature of the call did not deter the most
and hostess from proving themselves
royal entertainers. A variety OF games
occupied the earlier hours of the evening
but it was during lull in the merry
making that John Wyllie, speaking IN
behalf of the company, presented MI,

Mrs. Rennie handbag and other useiul

neither Mrs. Ralph nor her husband was
aware of what was in prospect until the
company surrounded the house. There
was a diyerting program OF games and
music and then Mrs. James B. Darling,

partment in the Sunday school, pre-
scented the couple an attractively framed

1t turns out that the Progressives
would have done far better to nominate
T. c. Crosby of Brattleboro as their can
didate for governor than to go on the
uncertainty whether Alexander j. Coop
e. would be candidate even if nominal
ed by an overwhelming vote of the con-
vention. Mr.. Crosby was willing to be-
come the party's standard bearer and on
the first ballot for choice he led by a
comfortable margin. If his friends had
persisted, they might have nominated
him. AS it is, a good many Progressives
are likely to cast their voters for Charles
w. Gates, as many of the delegates to
the convention were reported as desirious
OF doing there.

the children or other persons with whom
little Philip has come in contact, as he
is too young to go to school. DR.. c. s.
Caverlv, president OF the state board of
health. and DR.. Gebhardt are making
every effort to discover any facts about
the source of the child's illness, but the
cause of the disease and manner of COM
municating it are at the present time
so much in the dark that any statements
along this line would be entirely theo-
reticai.
According to Mrs. Grimes, the little
boy has not been in any of the affected
towns, nor has he, so far as she knows,
come in contact with any person who
might have carried the disease. The
child was on tho street one evening dur
ing the carnival and went one afternoon
to the fair.
