The Highway Guard Rail.
The value of a highway guard rail
was demonstrated at Montpelier Satur-
day when light motor car slid off the
crown of the road toward the Wlnooskl
river and would have gone the whole
distance into deep water had it rot
been for the wooden fence erected at
that point on Berlin street. The high
way guard rail is often held lightly.
but it has more often justified itself.
If towns and cities would go to the
slight outlay demanded and erect more
fences of substantial nature along the
roadside the list of road accidents
would be materially shorrened.-Barre

The Polite French Lads.
The Editor was favorably impressed
recently by the courtesy of the French
school boy of the Province of Quebec.
AS related elsewhere he found himself
alone one day in the street of small
French village, dirty and generally dis
hevelled as the result of automobile
trouble. 1t was at the time that the
boys of the village were returning
home from school and every group of
| boys he met respectfully raised their
hats to the stranger We could not
| help thinking of the guying we probab-
| ly should have got had we appeared IN
such an undignifed condition among a
group of Yankee school boys, and felt
very keen respect for the young
French lads.-St. Johnsbury Caledoni-

| Dale's Secretary,
| When Porter H. Dale of Island Pond
goes to Washington Dec. l, to begin
his duties as congressman, he will be
accompanied by James B. Campbell of
St. Johnsbury as his private secretary.
Mr.. Campbell is a native of Stowe and
graduate of the University of Yer
mont. He studied law in the Office of
County Clerk Nichols in St. Johnsbury
and since admission to the bar. has
practiced his profession in the scale
town, serving at the same time as
assistant county clerk. He was secre-
tary Of the st. Johnsbury Commercial
club two years. The selection appears
to be good one. but it is frequently
the custom of green congressman to
engage as secretaries men who are
familiar with official life in Washing
