Numbered BY CLAY STRATA
But Atlantic City Contractors Are
Still In Fair Way to Earn Bonus
BY Hard FIahtlna.

It seemed a safe bet that you
could bore a hole anywhere on the
beach at Atlantic City 500 feet
deep and find nothing but sand,
The unexpected--a thin layer Of
elay--was struck by the men who
we.e putting down the foundations
Tor The new Traymore hotel.
That seeming trife now bulks up
in the shape Of $57, 900. The con-
tractors, as / am informed, were
to forfeit $1,000 a day for every
day after certain date that the
big hotel should remain unfinished.
They were also to get bonus If it
were completed on time.
That unlooked-for stratum of
clay made a difference of 80 days
in getting down the piles upon
which the huge concrete structure
vii, rest. In the spirit that every
body likes to see a horse win race
in the face Of handicaps. SO ] trust
the builders will vet beat old Fa-
ther Time in spite of that clay, and
50 win the bonus. And it looks now
as If they will DO it.-Philadelphia

Advantage of silencer.

This crash of the bullet makes the
value OF the Maxim silencer very little,
SO far as military efficiency is con-
cerned, In the way that the fiction
writer imagines the siIencer to be use
full. but not to prevent the enemy from
discovering the position of the men
firing as many fancy.
It's value lies in the fact that 1t
eliminates fully half of the recoil of
the rifle from the action of the gases
in its chambers, and 1t gives the Off
GERS much better control over the fire,
because of the lessened noise of the
rifles. II cuts down the roar of the
Springfield to about the noise of the
$500 and thus the roar of the rifles
at the firing line is much reduced, and
the commands of the officers can be
heard.-Outing.

a "Flyinov MaIady.

The doctors are puzzled concerning
a strange maiady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works, and
has in one case ended fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow iaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling its
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but 1t has been
suggested that the source of the trou-
bic may be amyl acetate. which is
used as dope" solvent. Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair. the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined. in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis and, of course,
until success is attained in this direc-
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.

ONE ON SECRETARY DANIELS
Head of the Navy Evidently Not an
Expert as to the Odor of
Alcoholic Liquors.

A story Is going the rounds In
Washington about Secretary of the
Navy Daniels which may or may not
reflect credit on that official, accord
ing to the point of view. According
to this story the secretary was one
morning comforting with an officer
and in the middle of his conference
interrupted the proceedings to say:
This Is the second morning that |
have smelled whisky on your breath,
siri''
To which the officer is said to have
replied: Il beg your pardon, Mr.. Sec
rotary, it was whisky yesterday, but
it is gin this morning"
No name has been allowed to leak
out in connection with this story, and
1t may be that there is more fiction
than fact in it.-Boston Transcript.

PUBLICIZING NATURE

! At the Vermont State Fair recently
held in White River Junction Vt. the
exhibit that attracted perhaps as much
attention as any other was the exhibit
of the Green Mountain C,Lp and its
pet hobby, the Long Trail Of tho Green
Mountains.
The trail is being extended from the
northern border of Massachusetts, to
the Canadian line, and includes sys-
TEN of cross trails that will open up
the Green Mountain Range to the
many visitors from all parts of the
East who yearly pay an annual visit
to Vermont, there to find the rest and
recreation that is afforded by no other
atmosphere than that of the woods,
hills and streams.
Begun in July 1911, the trail has
grown in popularity until recently it
has been used not only by Vermont
trampers, boy scouts, campfire girls,
and summer mountain tourists but it
has been made as well part Of the
regular route Of the state militia and
that portion Of the United States army
which annually summers in the Green
Mountain State.
Through the activity Of the mem
bers Of the Green Mountain Club, this
trail has now been extended as a con-
tinuous path Of $50 miles, and has
done much 70 open up the beauties Of
tic Green Mountains to those who for
so long have known Vermont only as
the home Of Ethan Allen, John Stark,
and George Dewey.
In thus developing and publicizing
the natural beautios Of Vermont, the
Long Trail enthusiasts have blazed q
path that out-of-doors men in other
states might weiI imitate.-Town De-

Washington, March l4.-England
now is building six battle cruisers Of
80 knot speed, which win be mounted

Such is the assumed perfection Of
the building arrangements under the
special speeding plans prepared by the
admiralty that these ships, it is ex-
pectcd, will all be launched within five
or six months from the date Of laying
doyn; and they will therefore be in
condition well within the present year
These ships are supposed TO be "the
last word" in naval construction. They

State Highway Commissioner Bates,
the County Supervisors. the Seleetmen

towns on the days Of their county
conferences will have an opportunity
TO meet the business men of the coun-
ties and thus to secure larger inter
est and cooperation from citizens in
their work Of maintaining and improv-

The benefits of these meetings in
1914 were so material and so evident
that The Greater Vermont Association
feels that Good Roads Month" may
well become a most significant part Of
the regular annual program of boards
Of trade in Vermont. State Highway
Commissioner Gates wrote thus of the
results Of the meetings last year: Il
consider that one of the best moves
that you have made, and feel and
know that the feeling of cooperation
is stronger in practically every county
where the experiment was tried. In
fact, 1t has given our work standing

LAwRENCE's FARM SALES

The L. A, Strout Farm Agency
through their local representative an
Inounces the signing Of contract fol
the sale of the James Witherell farm
to Charles Haldimann of Bennington
Mr.. Haldimann is one Of the best hor-
ticulturists in the country and is en-
ployed in that capacity on the Everett
farms in Bennington, where he will
remain for the next few years, devcl-
oping the Witherell farm as a fruit
farm ia the meantime under the care
of a tenant,
They also announce the signing Of
a contract Of sale by Lezem Boyey and
Henry Downer Of Addison county. Mr..
Downer is one Of the hard working
Addison county men, just the kind of
farmer Manchester needs and there is
no doubt that in a short time he will
develop his 130-acre farm TO be as
god one as is to be found in Man
chester.
Geo. T. Lawrence, their agent, says
that he has nearly 600 names Of pros
pective farm buyers on his books,
goodly proportion received in the last
few weeks and that everything seems
to indicate that local farmers having
farms to sell never will have as good
a change again as they will the com
ing spring and summer, to sell their
farms at reasonable price
