of complete derailment. Therefore, the

We said yesterday that the Vermont
House had seen great light and that
it was on a road vehicle at night; but
between the time when the words were
put into type and the appearance Of the
first paper on the street. the House had
snuiIed out that light and killed the bill
again. In view Of the known procliyities
of the House, we are almost in doubt
whether TO make a second assertion as
definite and final, but. on second thought,
we decide to take the chance and here u
is-the House is against safety on the

schools of the state for historical, lit,
erary and moral purposes and to regu-
late the reading OF the same.
Mr.. Hewitt Of Plainneld said II the
pose IT, He considered this not re-
igious but an educational matter, A
knowledge of the Bible is necessary 70
an understanding of music, art, litera-
ture and history. There is no land I'M
der the stars where this book has not
gone.
Mr.. Fairchild OF Fairfield called atten.
tion to the harm that comes as result
of religious dssensions. He thought no
greater calamity could come upon the
people of Vermont than the passage OF
this bill. He thought the privilege now
granted, a permissive right, was suili-
eient.
Mr. Reynolds of Cambridge thought II
the state of Vermont could countenance

weeks in a year, they could stand the
reading OF the Bible 10 minutes ia each
school day.
Mr.. Hill Of Waterbury moved the pre-,
vious question and on rising vote the
motion was adopted, rs TO GA. Mr.. Black
of Burlington desired the privilege OF
speaking and on motion Of Mr.. Miller of
Bethel the vote ordering the previous
question was reconsidered. Mr.. Black
thought all would agree in what had been
said in praise of the Bible. He thought
every child should be familiar with the
Bible, but he believed compulsory reading
in the schools was the wrong method.
He believed the desired result could be
accomplished in another manner. FIFE
thought the passage of such bill was
that there was no popular
demand for such legislation, that such
demand as there was had been created.
He feared the measure would arouse
resentments, and that the
bad results would outweigh the good re-
suits.
Mr.. Graham of Rockingham believed
that the amendments adopted, which he
made the bill a fair one. He
thought ii it could not be attacked as
matter of principle, it could not be at
tackled as matter of expediency.
Mr.. Hapgood Of Peru believed that the
bill intruded into matter beyond the
province of the legislature and he OPP
posed it, The demand of Mr.. Hutchins

DELEGATES WILL DISCUSS
 AMATEUR QUESTION.
Conference Will Be Held in New York Between Controlling Bodies of Sev. eral Branches of Amateur Sports.

The amateur" and other questions
 bearing upon athletics will be discuss
 ed at a conference at New York next
 Monday by delegates from bodies con- trolling the several branches of anna teur sports.
 The delegates before meeting will be given a list of suggestions compiled by
 the executive and advisory committee
 of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletics of America.
 The committee describes an amateur sportsman as one who engages in sport solely for the pleasure and physical
 benefits he derives therefrom and to
 whom sport is nothing more than an avocation.
 In the opinion of the committee a
 person should cease to be an amateur
 by committing any of the following acts:
 A-By competing or giving an exhi- bition in any athletic sport under an | assumed name. or by being guilty of any fraud or other grossly unsports-
 manlike conduct in connection there with
 By directly or indirectly receiv- ing pay or finanical benefits in con- slderation or as a reward for partici- | pating in any public athletic competi- l tion or exhibition.
 C-By directly or indirectly receiv- ing pay or financial benefits in consid- | eratton of or as reward for instruct l ing or preparing any person in or for any athletic competition, exhibition or | exercise.
 D-By granting or permitting the use of ones name to advertise or pro-
 mote the sale of, or to act as the per sonal solicitor for the sale, or as the actual salesman, of sporting goods prizes, trophies or other commodities 1 for use chiefly in or in connection with athletic games or exhibitions: or "by

 tion wherein his usefulness or value

MEREDITH HAS RIVAL
 IN CALIFORNIA STAR.
Sloman. Coast Phenom. Can Do Guar.
 ter Consistently in 49 Seconds.

Out in California they have the cleverest quarter miller developed in this country since Ted Meredith flashed to the front as a contender for Olympic honors more than three years ago. Frank Sloman is his name, and he is possibly the one of three run ners of the world today besides Mere dith who can better 49 seconds con- sistently. Sloman is the runner with whom Meredith must reckon in the national quarter mile championships at Newark next summer. Ted knows this now, and, depend upon 1t, he will be as fit as ever in his life when he shows up for the national 440 dash.
 Sloman was undefeated until he bumped into Meredith at the Panama Pacific games last August, and the beating that Ted handed to the fleet native son" has ranked Sloman ever since, and so much so that he yearns for revenge on the Pennsylvanian.
 Sloman will, of course, be a mem Der of the big Pacific coast team that will come east to compete at Newark, and it is on this occasion that Sloman hopes to reverse the decision that Meredith obtained over him on the exposition track at Frisco.
 The danger to Meredith in meeting Sloman next year lies in the possible improvement that the Pacific coast lad will show in the meantime. Though

construction-which is designed with speed constantly in mind-the ele-
 ment of speed has very little awe for the average spectator or participant.
 The old-faShioned narrow-guage trains would have flown off the track
 at one-half the speed which todAy's
 transcontinental trains make. The railway has not run away from the motor car in the development of safe
 ty devices. While the motor car has
 bat than the railway, it has mel them
 quite successfully. It does not take
 much of an Imagination to see that
 car with the give-aad-take roads be- heath it, functioning under all kinds of conditions, has a great deal more
 to do, when it comes to maintaining its course safely, than has the railroad
 train with its perfectly true and un- yielding steel track and heavily bal
 lasted roadbed. Then, too, there is
 not the matter of soft, resilient pneu-
 matic tires to contend with in the
 case of the railway train. The tire
 maker has done as much to make
 motoring safe as any one. Then comes the spring maker and the high
 grade specialist But while enumerat-
 ing the parts makers who have con-
 tributed to safety, don't forget. the
 man who makes the motor itself A wild, unbalanced motor is one of the most dangerous things that might en- 4LAlO lAlc OL dn dulO-
 mobile. It will rack a car from rear
 to front. It will work on every bolt
 and loosen it. There is nothing which weakens a motor car throughout its whole chassis so much as a vibrant and poorly balanced power plant.
 Vibration has been the anti-safety
 influence which all engineers have
 been striving to conquer And the
 battle was won when the multiple cylinder motor attained a state of perfection. Smoothness has been at tained in the present valve-in-he | twelve cylinder power plant. The in ter-eXplosion lapse, which has made motors vibrant, has been entirely eliminated. And the extra strength which a twelve-cylinder motor calls for throughout the rest of the chassis

 Ely having played in any public competition or exhibition upon team on which there were professionals, but who himself had not been paid to play or coach, or who in any manner, ex- cept by reason of such association, has not had his amateur status af- fected; or,
 without having first obtained the consent of the organization governing such sport, by having participated therein in any individual public com petition or exhibition with or against a professional, but who except by req son of such association has not had his amateur status affected.
 Having covered. this field, the com mittee suggests that any organization governing a sport should have par doning pawer by which to relieve an amateur of the effect of his acts. if it were shown to its satisfaction that such acts were committed through ignorance, inadvertence or excusable error.
 They recommend that a team of am- ateurs representing a well established organization should not be prevented from participating in a public compe- tition or exhibition against a team composed of professionals This has reference to football games, where a single professional player on a team L1ldkeS the enIlre team pTOIeSSlOndlS, a fact which caused some cancellations of games between colleges during the 1915 season. It also has reference to track and field athletics where mem berS of the team compete separately in regular series of standard events and not merely one or more special contests.
 In recommending penalties the com mittee advises that any one who is guilty of an act set down in clause "A' shall never be permitted to com pete as an amateur in any sport. In clause "B" he shall never be permit ted to compete as an amateur in the sport or sports in which the act was committed, but after a period of five years has elapsed he may be restored to amateur standing in nay sport other than that in which such act was com mitted.
 In clause "C" he shall not be per- mitted, during the periods of his coaching or training, to take part ir any amateur competition, but on his ceaSing to coach or train he shall be privileged to apply tothe governing board of any sport other than that 1T which such act was committed fol permission to compete as an amateur After period of five years has elapsed from the commission of the act, ht shall be privileged to apply for per | mission to compete as an amateur b. the governing body in that particula
