Must Keep the Curtains Up.

I'm London it is strictly against the
law for the driver Of any public con
veyance to allow the curtains OF his
vehicle to be pulled down." said a man
who has visited the English metropolis.
by day or night the windows of cabs,
hansoms, carriages, or what not, wheth-
er drawn by horses or propelled by
electric power, must be so open TO pub
lie inspection as to allow plain view
of those occupying the interior. A
closed rig wouldn't get block before
n London bobby would nab its driver
and hale him to n magistrates office,
where he would get no mercy. The
law is based on the theory that closed
vehicles lend themselves easily 10 the
Of robbery or murder and
that they may also assist criminal to
make his escape"

JUDGE James |. Martin

The news of the death of Judge
James Loren Martin came with stag
gering force this morning to the peo-
pie of his home community. Although
6S years old, Judge Martin was at the
height of his powers Intellectually,
and there had been no intimation to
people generally OF any weakness, in
his physical condition. He had been
a conspuous figure in the public life
of the state 40 years. He was but 81
when he was elected speaker of the
Vermont house OF representatives,
serving in that capacity three terms,
and being one of the youngest men
who ever filled the office. He had
been honored by election and appoint
ment to many positions, his career be-
ing rounded out by his work as judg.
of the United States court. in which
position he succeeded his distinguish
ed townsman, the late Judge H. H.
Wheeler in 1906 Judge Martin was
gifted with a brilliant mind, was
ShlIieu PAL iinhiShtui lam " SuNNSSoAul
lawyer and he brought to the bench
not only a deep knowledge of the
principles and practices OF the law
but a thorough understanding of hui
man nature. He was often called to
New York to preside over important
sessions of the federal court, and the
Danbury hatters' and other notable
cases came before him. The best trib-
ute to the quality of Judge Martins
service on the bench is his record-in
eight years the United States Sup
RENE Court has never reversed one OF
his decisions -Brattleboro Reformer.

To Change Umbrella Handles.

Sometimes person would like to
change an expensive umbrella handle
to another umbrella and fasten 1t on
solid. This can be done by cleaning
out the hole left in the handle from the
old rod and filing the hole with pow
dered sulphur. Place the handle In a
solid upright position and after heating
the umbrella rod red hot push the rod
down into the hole containing the sui
phur The hot rod fuses the sulphur,
and when cool 1t will hold the rod
solid. This method may be applied to
fastening rods into stone, iron or wood.

Well ORGANIZED SeFNiCe.
Many suppose that it is possible for
an enemy TO disrupt and suspend ali

ference or tanning" According 10
Commander II. G.. Loring of the Bril-

possible, to liam" well organized
wireless service, for there are MANY
ways, both technical and methodicai,
to defeat such an intention. If the
enemy attempts interference he must
put his own wireless communication
completely out of action for the time
being. with no certain prospect of Sc
riously inconyeniencing the communi-
cation of his opponent.
Commander Loring also believes that
the risk OF having the signals of the
feet intercepted by an enemy is very
slight ''Co-operation between opera.

when handling difficult code messages.
and the more skilled the organization
the more difficult 1t is for strange
operator to take down with the neces-
sary accuracy the groups Of a code
message. He cannot ask for the repe-
tition of doubtful groups, and he has
no intimate and daily familiarity with
the methods of the sender to assist
him in his task. ,-
"And, after all, giving the enemy ev.
cry advantage, giving him perfect
record Of the signals, the key of the
code to his hand and equal facility of
skill and language to translate it for
use-a most improbable combination,
