FRANK GREENE MAKING GOOD

The Daily Evening Argus says
Representative Frank L. Greene has
been assigned tothe military commit
tee in Congress and we predict that he
will be one Of its most valuable mem
bers. Col Greene has long been
associated with military matters es-
pecially with the Vermont National
Guard, and has given the subject much
study and attention, which, added to
his unusually good judgment, will
prove valuable. A better choice for
the committee could not have been
made"
No Congressman in recent years has
grown faster in the appreciation Of tn
House than Congressman Greene.
He is a personal friend Of the
Speaker Of the House and sits at "the
Round Table" with .he leaders on the
or Opposition side" Of the
House.
Meanwhile he is just as popular at
home and no man, since d. J. Foster,
Is more mindful of the interests and
requests Of his constituents.
Congressman Greene is one Of the
coming, big men in this country.

THE COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
TREE CELEBRATION
The Editor Of The Manchester Journal
Manchester, Vermont.

The Editor Of The Manchester Journa
Manchester, Vermont
Dear Sir:
Now that the celebration around the
Community Christmas Tree is over, II
is fitting that some expression OF
appreciation should be extended
through your columns, 10 those who
have SO generously given their ser
vices or their means toward making
the Village Christmas Tree success
and source Of pleasure to all.
The community is indebted
To Mr.. George Bushee who so kind
ly contributed the fine spruce tree.
To The Colonial Power and Light
Company for its generous contribu-
tion OF the illumination for the tree,
through its manager, Mr.. Bicknell,
who also most willingly offered and
gave his personal services.
To Mr. Arthur Marsden, who Sc
cured for us the electric wiring and
bulbs in Rutland, and to Mr. Dyer who
wired the tree.
To Mr.. Clarence Bacon for very
kindly giving his own services, togeth-
err with the Equinox team and assist
ants, in securing the tree and helping
put it in place.
To Mr.. Edward Swift for his assist
ance.
To Mr.. Frank Lyon, who was most
untiring in his efforts to make the
tree a success, both in selecting and
securing it and in assisting in its erec-
tion.
Mr.. William Crawford's interes.
should be mentioned in his generous
offer of his teams and of any tree on
his land, could a suitable one be found
there.
Mr.. Claude Rich also showed his in
teres. in his offer of a tree and his
efforts to secure one OF suitable size.
We also wish to express our appre-
citation of the efforts of st. Paul's, the
Center and Village choirs, as well as
the school children, for the appropri-
ate music sung around the tree, which |
added so much to the spirit of the
occasion.
AS previously stated in The Journal,
he candy distributed to the children
vas the gif. of Mrs. w. H. Mcclure.
The expense of securing the wiring,
he electric bulbs and the expressage
has been met by contributions from a
ew, greatly interested in the success
# the tree.

WARNING TO AUTO OWNERS
Stale Gasoline Gives on Deadly Gas
Two Local Men Overcome

''Petromortis," or death from the
fumes of automobile gas, is given as
the cause of the death Of prominent
Chicago lawyer, who was found dead
in his garage Saturday and the
strange affair is one which should be
noticed by any automobile owner in
tending to start his car inside his
garage. Last week at the Rutland
Garage Company, Two employees, who
started a machine which had been
standing on the floor for several
weeks, were overcome by the fumes,
but because Of the size of the room,
they recovered after being taken to
fresh air.
1t is claimed by automobile experts
that gasoline which stands in a tank
causes different gases when exploded
which are fatal in some instances.
DIR. John d. Ellis, head Of the de-
partment of occupational diseases Of
Rush Medical College, who examined
the body Of the Chicago man, said;
1.-The gasoline fumes that caused
Mr.. humphreys death were not caus-
ID by carbon monoxide. This might
be the casual idea. Bu. the lethal

fused with Professor Cramb's entirely

England and Germany" is composed
of speeches and articles by leading
Englishmen and Germans, fruitlessly

ing war. There is nothing in it about
Belgium's neutrality, or the danger of
German armies entering Paris, on, on
the other side, any Pan-Slavic perils
or anything about Con-
stantinople. But there is a good deal
about armaments. Fear and angry sus-
picion, born, it is plainly to be seen, of
armaments, continually
rear their heads above all the protes-
tations of friendship, the poignantly
hopes and promises Of
better feelings" between the two
countries. Over the whole collection
Of futile and pitiable would be peace
making hangs a sense of bewilder-
ment, a dreary wonder why the inces-
SAINT stirring up Of peoples to fear
their neighbors and prepare to shoot
Them, should interfere with neighborly
friendship.
Something Of national vanity, after

an idealism other nations used to
augh at, in their happier days, when
here was room for laughter in their |
learts ts:-something there may be Of |
iational vanity, and yet no. much, |

eel tina. any Of US should find it

her improvement was very slow, and
just before Thanksgiving she had an
alarming relapse, and her family and
friends soon learned the sad truth that
death was imminent. Pressure on the
portal vein, inducing dropsy, was the
immediate cause, and her illness was
so brief and the end came so quickly
tina. she was mercifully spared long
suffering.
Mrs. Howell was a resident of Wor-

in 1886 to the late John H. Howell, for
many years one of the staff of City
Engineers. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Howell

held positions as soloists in several
churches, doing also some concert
work. Together they made two trips
abroad to study with the famous vocal
teacher, Sbriglia, and upon their re-
turn from their last trip, seven years
ago, they established the Howell
School of Lyric and Dramatic Art,
with branch in Huntington Cham
bers in Boston. Mrs. Howell continu-
ed the work after the death of her
husband, and had a more than loca |
reputation for her success in training |
pupils for concert and stage work, and
coaching musical plays, cantatas, and
pageants.
She was born in Maiden, March Ia,
1864, daughter Of Samuel Hale and
Julia (Carsley) Woods and is survived
by one son, Leonard Woods Howell, q

Orvis of Manchester, VT; Mrs. Au-

funeral will be held Friday at 2 p. m.
