Gov. Gates s appointment of Robert
W. Simonds Of st. Johnsbury as chair
man of the newly created industrial
accident board meets with general ap-
prevail. Senator Simonds made q
favorable impression as man of
ability with capacity for further de
velopment in the last session of the
Legislature. -Brattleboro Reformer.
The appointment of Mr.. Simonds is
distinctly to be commended. Senator
Simonds made a good record in the
legislature and his service there ap
peared to be free from any suspicion
of entanghng alliance of any kind. He
did not spend his time at the capital
in trying to work through some
scheme of private interest or benefit
and his vote on important bills was
generally correct. He took special in
terest in the workmen 5 compensation
| bill and it is proper that he should
head the commission appointed by
Governor Gates to administer the new
department. For the other two places
on the board the governor viii proba

few days. The law does not 90 int
effect until July l, but the acciden
board should be early organized anC
have its plans and survey made so tina
there will be no hitch when the Law
actually takes effect. It will natural
lily be expected that in order to secur,
the proper point of view of the in
dustrial accident board the other tw,
appointments will include a bona fid,
working man of actual present or re
cent employment in some one of the in
dustrial enterprises of the state and
man who is either present employee
of labor or who Is familiar with tb
employers problems in actual enter
prise. Of these two appointments tn
more essential is that of the working

j. X Hooper, observer of the United
States weather bureau at Burlington, does
not regard the present drouth as an alarm
ing condition. The top of the ground is
very dry, but the soil as a whole contains
more than so per cent of the normal
amount of moisture. January was the
dryest since 1912, February was the wet
test of any February of which the bureau
at Burlington has any record last month
was the dryest March in over 30 years and
there has been only a small amount of pre-
cipitation to date in April. Conditions are
not promising at present, but copious
rains in the next few weeks would bring
assurance of at least normal crop condi-
tions.

The scenes shift quickly at Barre. The
strike which is keeping thousands idle
seemed close to a settlement Friday, but
now indications point to an indefinite tie
up of the granite industry. The tool sharp
eners and manufacturers seem hopelessly
apart 1t is unfortunate that some form
of arbitration has not been devised for
ending the trouble quickly.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi.
cal Health.

The experience OF Motherhood a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or IN
derstands how co properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken heath resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
| pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

the part of the federal grand jury
which is in session at Gainesville,
based on the character of the wit

The ownership of the schooner is
still as much matter of mystery
as that of her recent voyage down
to Key WCst and then to some un-
known place, presumably TuXpan.
Mexico, where the government in the
charecs filed when the schooner was
seized, claims she landed arms, am

The Lucy II went out of Pensa-

made of the fact that she carried
a carSo of arms and ammunition, for
such was cleared from the custom

she put into Key West There she
remained for several weeks and then
proceeded but without clearance pa
pers, for which she was chased by a
revenue cutter, but eluded that YES
sci and proceeded on to Mexico with
her cargo.
1t is understood that the grand
jury at Gainesville will take up this
matter and that the federal officers

of the voyage and ownership of the

which the first day of the enforce

VOLCANIC OUTBREAK ON
ISLAND OF AMBRiM

Sydney. Australia. Dec. 16.-De
layed reports have brought news Of
fresh volcanic outbreak on the is
land of Ambrim. in the New He.
brides Group. a spot which exper-
fenced most destructive volcanici
eruption in December 1913.
The Rev A. r. Waters. a mission
airy stationed on the island of Oba,
about go miles from Ambrim. writes
that on the first few days OF Octo-
ber last smoke and volcanic ash
clouded the sky so thickly that the
sun gave only weird light like the
moon. and it eventually became so
dark that the people on Oba had to
light lamps. Everything became
gritty with ashes indoors and out
ofdoors they were so thick that the
sea could not be seen from the Mis-
sion house, which ordinarily afford
ed fine view of the water.
There was for a time some panic
among the natives of Oba who
, thought one of the mountains on
their own island was in eruption
later traced to Ambrim. and it ap-
peared as though the entir cisland
! was burning. The missiOnary's let
!, ter did not say that anyone ventured
to visit Ambrim during the eruption,
and the extent of the damage or
J less of life, If any, is unknown.
The previous eruption at Ambrim
in December 1913, was reported to
have cost the lives OF 500 natives.
and to have completely altered the
faced and coast line of the island.
According to the natives of Oba the
recent trouble appeared to have still
worse than the previous eruption.
Little is known as to the interior
OF Abrim. which has been visited but
rarely by white men. No census
has ever been taken. but among the
coast settlements there are n num-
ber of mission stations. mainly RO-
man Catholic and Presbyterian.
