DEMONSTRATIONS BY PUPILS
Vocational Handicraft to be Shown at
State BOYS and Girls Exposition

/ FNatt tSSNt ohb tA 80 ~&fftGANtRh
At the State Boys and Girls Agri-
cultural and Industrial Exposition to
be held on the Rutland fair grounds
the last week in October, from the
26th to 29th, pupils from public
schools and institutions will give dem
onstratons in trades and vocational
instruction. While similar demon
strations were given at last years ex-
position in Windsor, the plans for this
year are TO be much more extensive.
Workshops equipped with lathes,
motors and other machinery will be
fitted up for operation by the pupils
as an exhibit Of the self-supporting
trades now being taught in some pub
lie schools. These youthful mechanics
and artisans will include carpenters,
wood workers, electricians, printers,
machinists, blacksmiths, iron-workers,
etc. Agriculturists and their exhibits
will be much in evidence also the ex-
hibits of poultry, the number Of
which will arouse much interest.
Girls will cook and bake. operate
sewing machines and show various
branches of household economics, in
cluding canning and home making
Several schools and institutions
have already arranged for space at
the exposition, which promises to far
excel last years splendid showing.
One of the officials connected with
the New York Vocational Exposition
recently held in Madison Square Gar
den, said year of the exposition held
at Windsor: "You are setting a noble
example in Vermont for the country
to follow" While Vermont led off
well last year with her vocational ex-
position she will try to set the pace at
Rutland in October for exhibitions of
this sort.
The Vermont State Teachers con-
vention is to be held at the same time
in order to cooperate and help make
the exposition of the greatest value
to the school work of the State.

and he paid fine compliment TO the
militia as he had found il in the State
He told Of the benefits Of the military
life to the young men Of a commun-
ity who during such training would
receive an education which would help
in business life later. Much depends
upon the personality and magnetism
Of the captain Of company, who in
turn needs the support Of the COM
munity back Of him. We do not know
when we may have call for trained
men who must have the military
knowledge II we are 10 win.
Captain Ira L. Reeves, who for the
past three years has been military in
structor at the University Of Vermont,
spoke in detail Of the militia, giving
the men an idea of its real working
force in the State. There are COM
panies at Rutland, st. Adams, two
in Burlington, St. Johnsbury, Bellows
Falls, Northfeld, Winooski, Montpel-
ier, Brattleboro, Springfield and New
port, besides the headquarters COM
pany and supply company. The COM
panies have in times of peace 65 men,
which may be swelled to $50 men in
war times. There is also the 1st Yer
mont cavalry at Norwich University
and the attached sanitary troops.
Captain Reeves then in a very witty
vein introduced the various officers Of
the National Guard present.
President Benton was the last
speaker and he took occasion to pay
Captain Reeves a high compliment on
the work which he has done while at
the University and the results he OBJ
tained. He stated that the University
was sorry to lose Captain Reeves and
hoped that he would make the college
buildings his headquarters while he
was in Vermont, which the speaker
hoped would be as long as he lived.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, d. c., Oct. "A blum.
der by the Democratic Congress has
crippled one of its most important
labor laws.
The last Congress passed a provi-
sion intended to prohibit the use in
government plants under the War De.
partment of certain customs opposed
by labor organizations. That provi-
sion is practically imperative to-day
A vital link in the chain of legisla-
tion was omitted.
The labor provision referred to was
the center of one of the bitterest
fights of the session. 1t was intended
to prevent the use Of army appropria-
tions for making time study of en-
ployees or to pay any premium,
bonus or cash reward to any employee
in addition to his regular wages" and
was enacted as an amendment to the
army appropriation bill
The struggle over this amendment
all but caused the failure of the army
bill. First adopted by the House, it
was rejected by the Senate after a
long drawn out controversy. When
the bill went back to the House, they
refused to ratify the Senate's action.
The measure then went to confer
ence committee of the two branches.
They tried in vain to harmonic the
differences, with the labor amendment
always the principal bone Of conten-
ticn. Scores Of other disagreements
were disposed of, but the Senate con-
tinued to oppose the labor clause and
the House to support it. Three times
conference committee reports were re-
Jected because of the labor regulation
alone.
Not until senator's realized they
must vote for it or defeat the entire
appropriation did they give up. The
passage of the army bill containing
the labor regulation speedily follow
ed.
On the same day Congress passed
an act authorizing the War Depart
ment to expend more than six million
dollars for Notifications and other
defenses. To make the labor clause
effective, it was as essential to the
Notifications bill as to the army bill
THERE is NOT ONE LINE OR
WORD OF THE LABOR REGULA-
TI0N IN THE FORTIFICATIONS
ACT. 1t was not proposed as a part
Of this law in either House or Senate,
although to include it in the army act
and not in the Notifications law was
a mere farce. The days and weeks of
fierce conflict that had worn the
strength and tempers of the contes-
tants to shreds proved to be a sham
battle.
This is not an isolated blunder. 1t
is but one Of hundreds that have been
woven into the entire fabric Of Demo-
cratic legislation--another evidence Of
Democratic incompetency and inefic-
iency.
The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1915-10-14

sometimes they hang loose from the
canopy overhead, and sometimes they
project from the side Of the "picada"
in the form of loops. In the latter
case they are admirably adapted for
securely hooking the foot and stirrup
Of the unwary horseman, the conse-
quences being painful for the owner
of the foot.
In these forests the gloom Is pro-
found, and during the heat Of the day
the utter silence would be awe-inspir-
ing were it not for the cheerful buzz
ing Of the ubiquitous gnat.
Durinc our Journey the o., ami
mails seen, with the exception Of few
brightly-eoloured parrots, were
troop of monkeys. These latter ac-
companied us overhead for about a
mile chattering continuously and gam
boiling among the trees with an agil-
ity and grace that must be seen to be
fully realised. That their tails were
certainly prehensile wide Natural
History Book became Immediately
apparent on my directing a shot at a
member Of the family who was perch
ed on bough, presenting the broad Of
his back. The shot struck the wood
alongside him, and the monkey
promptly falling backward (perhaps
from surprise) remained hanging by
his tail upside down, proferring re-
marks whose courtesy was not so
apparent
The roar Of the falls can be heard
some six or seven kilometres away,
and II must be remembered that sound
will not carry well through a dense
Brazilian forest. At the very brink Of
the falls the noise is so appalling that
one man wishing to communicate with
another must form funnel of his
hands and strain his lungs and vocal
cords to the utmost.
The falls themselves are almost be-
yond description. A little way above,
the width of the river is over one kilo-
metre, and little way below it takes
a bend to the west. The brink ex-
tends from one shore to the other in
the shape of an irregular, indentated
S, and some authorities estimate the
total length of this brink at kilo-
metres. The drop is from 60 to 10
metres. 1t is impossible to get a
bird's-eye view of the "tout ensemble"
owing to the great extent and curva-
ture Of the brink. By jumping from
stone to stone we managed to reach
small rock platform at the very edge
Of the precipice some Is metres out
from the shore, and by lying down on
this were enabled to get a glimpse Of
the entire fall from above. / cannot
vouch for the fact, but believe the
solid rock on which we stood was
trembling.
That night we camped near the
shore, and in spite of the thunderous
music of the falls, were soon asleep
The following morning we started on
the return journey, very loath to leave
what is certainly the most marvellous
sight in South America, and also one
of the wonders of the world.

The Council Committee on Claims
yesterday afternoon directed the City
Attorney to determine whether claims
for damages done by street grading

ministrative Board or TO the committee.
II was pointed out that all street work
is done under the direction and super

board. being the more familiar with
street work. should pass upon the
claims without reference 10 the com

and regulations for the adjustment OF
such claims.

yet been occupied as street by the
city. This question was also referred
