.zEPPELINS DROP
 BOMBS ON PARIS IN DARING RAID
Popr1lace, In Night Attire, Watch AirsIips HurI
 TWenty-fOur Bombs.

Paris. March 22-The first Zep- peIfTl raid on Paris was carried out early Sunday morning under thrilling and spectacular circumstances
 Although the official report men lions only twenty-four bombs, it is es- tirnated fifty in all were dropped on the city and in the suburbs
 The following official statement GOV ering the rail was issued last night.
 ..Between 1:15 and 8 o'clock this morning four Zepelins started toward Paris from the direction of Com piegne, following the valley of the Disc. Two were compelled to return before reaching Paris. one at Ecouen the other at Nantes
 4'rhe other two were attacked by antf-craft guns and only passed over outlying districts of the northwest ern part of Paris and neighboring suburbs They withdrew after drop ping a dozen bombs. some of which did not explode.
 sNrhe damage done was uninpor- tant Seven or eight persons were injured. but only one seriously.
 One Zeppelin Is Hit.
 rThe different stations for anti-air craft defense opened fire upon the zeppelins, which were constantly kept illI11nfned by searchlights- One ap- peared to have been hit. The aero plane squadron took part in the action
 
 summing up, the Zeppelin raid on Paris was a complete failure. It only served to demonstrate how well the defensive arrangements work. The population was calm
 stOn their way back the Zeppelins dropped dozen incendiary or ex- p4osfve bombs on Compiegne, doing only uninportant damage. Three bombs were dropped on Rfbecourt and IDresltncourt, north of Compiegne. without result
 Public Warned, Is Calm.
 Probably the most remarkable feature of the raid was the deport- ment of the population. Warned of the coming of the zeppelins, men and women, clad in night attire, locked in gay and jocular processions from their sleeping quarters to the streets, or in the case of the more discreet, to the cellars of their homes The dis ctnfine Of the city's residents was marvellous There was complete absence of panic.

been a paid patient at the institution
and who disappeared some time
Thursday afternoon According to
the superintendent Mr.. Harrington
went out for walk early in the af-'
ternoon and the authorities had since
lost all trace of the patient.
Inquiry by telephone developed the
fact that Mr.. Harrington was in
Shaftsbury. having been brought by
automobile from Brattleboro to the
home of John C. Stevens of that
town.
Early in the week Mr.. Stevens
made arrangements with the Ben

PLAYGROUND PAVILION
New Building VIII Be Dedicated on
August 16.

The playground pavilion will be
dedicated August 10th. 1t is the hope
and desire of the committee in
charge To- announce at this time that
the building is entirely paid for. Al
together about 40 individuals have
contributed toward the fund, but this
in comparison to the numbers that
will use ii is a small percentage.
That the public may have an oppor-
tunity to help and that the play
ground children may have means of
helping to raise the fund a Pavilion
Fund Day plan has been arranged.
Buttons, bearing the words, play
ground Pavilion will be given to the
children to sell next Monday, August
9th.
All children, who sell ten buttons
will be given one free as an emblem
of their playground membership.
The buttons will be sold for ten
cents each and it is hoped to raise
$50 in this way.
Let it be clearly understood that
this pavilion has been financed en-
tirely separate from the funds pro
vded for the regular conduct of the
playground, but that it is very neces-
sary for the further advance of play
ground activities. 1t has been impos
sible to do any sort of hand work this
summer and the heat without any
sort of shelter has been most oppres-
siye. As this is the first, last and on
ly call to the public, generally, for
support in this special civic enter
prise. the children efforts to help
should be met with hearty response.

II you want to live in the kind of a

Like the kind of town you'd like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'd only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new.
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't your town--its you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everybody works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead
And if while you make your person
al stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too
Your town will be what you want to
see,-
