RRADSTREETS WEEKLY
VERMONT TRADE REPORT

Bradstreet's Burlington office in
summarizing trade conditions for the
month of January reports that while
there are manufacturing plants that
are operating below what was appar-
ent for the same month Of year ago
there are others that are doing a good
volume Of business. The plants that
are fully employed are those that have
received orders from foreign countries
The domestic demand appears to be re-
stricted to small orders and those for
immediate consumption The machine
manufacturing plants at both Windsor
and Springfield have been well EN-
ployed during the month and some
overtime work has been necessary
Manufacturers of shOddy report a good
demand for their product, Manufac-
turers of automobile parts indicate the
market conditions are not up to the
average. Granite for building pur-
poses is very quiet although there is
little better feeling regarding the
future than has been expressed for the
four months past Granite for monu
mental work has been ordered in
small amounts. Marble is not in as
great demand for interior finish as
was reported for the month of Decem-
Der Veneer manufacturers report a
quiet business; this is attributed to the
small amount OF business received at
the furniture manufacturing plants.
Organ manufacturers note little II

their class OF goods. Shoddy manu-
facturers have had a large business

moved aged John Sischo of East Putney
who is So years old, from the house
where he and his adopted daughter, Miss
Emogene Sischo. have lived and placed

attitude Of the daughter toward persons
who called, her apparent unwllingness
to let persons into the house, although
allowing a Scotchman, Edward Odette

communication from Ambassador Page
transmitting statement from Ralph
r. Smith, chief officer of the Outright
This statement further lessened the
diplomatic tension, as 1t raised doubt
as to whether the Gulflight really was
sunk by German submarine. In his
statement Chief Officer Smith dfsclos-
ed that his vessel had been taken in
charge by British patrol boats, that
there was an opinion on his vessel
that the submarine which was sighted
was an English submarine and that
the English patrol vessels probably
for that reason paid no attention to
the submarine.
Officials of the department were not
clear today as to the remedy at law
In the case of relatives of the vic
tins of the Lusitania. A good deal
will depend, one official said, on the
nature of the contract between the
passenger and the Cunard line. 1t is
probable that any action to be taken
would be in the courts of Great Brit
ain and against the\Cunard line cor
poration, which in turn might have the
remedy against the British govern
ment, If the latter did not afford it
ample protection in view of the gen
eral impression of danger and the
unusual risk vessels would run in ap-
preaching Germany's submarine war
zone.
Senator La Toilette called at the
White House today On leaving he
said he opposed the suggestion that
diplomatic relations with Germany be
broken off.
II am for peace" said Senator La
Toilette. Il want the United States to
take a firm stand, but | am opposed to
war"
He admitted he had told the presi-
dent to stand firm for peace

MOTOR TOPICS.

The increased familiarity with auto
mobiles that has come with the cit
ney' service in every part of the coun-
try will result in increased automo-
bile sales, according to Stewart Nc
Donald, vice-president of the Moon
Motor Car company.
"The number of people that are be-
ing carried In jitneys every day in the
large cities and small towns in every
part of the country will probably run
into the hundreds of thousands" Nc
Donald declared. MANY of these peo-
pie had ridden in automobiles very
little until they got the jitney habit.
Some OF them never rode in an auto
mobile before.
Riding in automobiles day after
day creates a certain enthusiasm for
the automobile. Some who are able to
buy now will translate their enthus-
lasm into the purchase of car of their
own. Others-not able to buy now
will have the idea of owning their
own car instilled into their minds for
the future.
THE large outlet for secondhand
cars that has come with the jitney
will also stimulate the sale of new
cars The jitney has established a
ready market for the used car and
many owners are selling their old cars
at the better prices they are now able
to get and are buying new cars for
their own use"
The general use by automobile man
,ufacturers of today of standard parts
in the manufacture of their cars has
made the automobile staple pro-
duct. That the public has approved of
this method of building an automo-
bile is evidenced by the success of
such manufacturers as the Moon Motor
car company and the tremendous
growth of the business of making au-
tomobile parts.
The purchaser of an automobile to-
day knows just what he is getting be-
fore he even sees the car because he
knows the value of the standard parts
that go into any particular car. If
he is already an owner he knows just
how the various parts have stood up
in service.
The use of standard parts is a
double protection for the purchaser
because he has the double guarantee
of manufacturer and part maker. 1t
also insures his getting any parts at
any time. Even if the automobile
manufacturer goes out of business,
he can still get the parts from the
maker
The specialization in the making of
parts in large factories that are devot-
ed to the exclusive manufacture of a
particular part has resulted in the
production of better parts at lower
