DANGER SIGNS ON
VERMONT HIGHWAYS

A narrow escape from fatal automo-
bile accident near the village Of Man
chester when the machine failed to
complete turn in the road and plung
ed into the Battenkill River calls to
attention that some properly constitu-
ted authority, or some self-appointed
agent, ought TO place warning signs at
such sharp turns in the road SO that
automobilists who are not acquainted
with the highway may take proper
precaution by slowing their machines.
To be sure, a large measure OF re-
sponsibility rests on the drivers OF
motor vehicles; indeed, it really is up
to them TO drive so carefully over
strange roads that there will be no
Of disaster TO them or 10
other users of the roads. Neverthe-
less, il is a great aid toward that care
full driving TO be warned at the ap-
proaches to dangerous turns and mar
row strips Of highway by means Of
signs such as many towns, or the
Automobile Club Of Vermont or auto
accessory advertisers are setting In
position. Such an aid TO safety is
greatly appreciated by the motoring

.RNEST GREY OF BENNINGTON
DIES IN TROY HOSPITAL
uis Wife and two Daughters also Ter
ribly Burned as Result Of Kerosene
Explosion.

ribly Burned as Result OF Kerosene
| Explosion.
As result Of attempting to start
kitchen fine with kerosene, Ernest
Grey Of Bennington, 81 years old, died
in the Troy City Hospital Monday
morning, Sept. 9th, at 4 o'clock. Two
daughters, five and seven years of
age, were also terribly burned, the
skin from their feet to their knees
being almost burned Off. The mans
wife was burned about the head and
her hair nearly burned off.
Mr.. Grey, who was employed as a
dyer by the Cooper Manufacturing
Company, was building fire in the
kitchen stove at his home about noon
and used kerosene to kindle the wood.
As he was pouring the infammable
liquid upon the wood there was an
explosion and the bottom OF the can
was blown off.
The blazing oil was thrown over
the kitchen and upon Mr.. Grey's
clothing which consisted only of un-
derclothes and pair Of trousers. En-
veloped in flames the man ran out Of
doors where a neighbor succeeded in
smothering the blaze by rolling him
in carpet. His body was a mass of
burns.
The children and Mrs. Grey, who
were in the kitchen, a small apart
ment, were almost instantly enveloped
in flames, but managed to get into the
open air where neighbors extinguished
the blaze.
The kitchen within few minutes
was ablaze and an alarm was sounded.
The fire department confined the
flames to the room.
Mr.. Grey last November met with
an accident while employed as dyer
by falling into vat of boiling water.
He was confined to hospital for some
time and had only recently been able
to resume his work for the Cooper
Manufacturing Company.

Shortage of Beer Kegs
For Harvesting in Mud

Columbus, Kan, June 3D.
There is a shortage of beer kegs
in Cherokee county available for
harvesting in the mud. Since it
was discovered by one farmer
that a keg attached to a binder
made its passage through a soft
wheat field possible there has
been a demand for the contain
ers of the Kansas contraband.
But eight gallon kegs are re-
quired and the sherirf's supply,
from which the farmers were
furnished binder floaters was ex-
hausted.
A raid at Mineral Sunday net
ted twenty of the eight. gallon
variety, but they cannot be de-
stroyed by being made into
wheels for three weeks and the
harvest will oe oyer by that time.
The Cherokee county harvest
is being pushed RAPIDLY. If more
kegs can be obtained very little
wheat will be left standing by
Sunday.
