Strange, isn't it, this difference in
communities? If John G. SAKE had
become a national figure as a resident
of BrattIeboro his memory would be
honored and renowned here, and the
children would know about him today
as they do about Larkin G. Mead and
the story of the Snow Angel. The
Burlington News arraigns the constit-
uency which surrounds It when ii
says: % We of Burlington make moth

people who once lived here. John G

'At the Luncheon they laid their

fortunately Caledonia county with

1t is lamentable condition But we

people are not so prone to divorce as
they formerly were and hope their
example may restrain other people to

OF 100 marriage licenses granted at
Bellows Falls during the month of
April and May only five were to home
folks, the other 155 being for persons
who greta-greened there from points
without the state. The reason is that
Vermont is the only state in New
England which does not require the
five days notice of intention to mar
ry and Bellows Falls is one of the
border points fairly easy of access
from Massac husetts and New Hamp-
shire. Bellows Falls is getting quite
a bit of notoriety thcrefrom, but of
doubtful permanent value.

REMINGTON ARMS AND U. M. 6. CO.'S FACTORIES CLOSE.
Inventory Being Taken, Munition Shops Won't
 Open Until Tuesday.


 The Remington Arms & >Ammuni- ton and the Union Metallic Cartridge works of the Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Go. have closed down their factory buildings until Tuesday morning. Tn the interval a complete inventory of the plant, equipment and stock will be taken, after which work will again be re- sumed as usual.
 Advantage of the two and half days holiday has been taken by sev- eral thousand employees to visit their homes in other cities, though in each department special force will be re- tained under special assignment to complete the inventory by Tuesday morning. <
 The job is colossal one because of the vast amount of material and supplies on hand, but the system which has been followed throughout in. the purchase of supplies and equipment will, it is believed, facili- tate the inventory.

The temporary receiver, through his counsel, Foster and Nor gan, gave a bond of $25,OOO furnish ed by the American Surety Go. of New York
 The petition for receivership was filed by Emily A. c. Smith and Emily Smith of Fairfield, stockholders in the company. They claimed the as- sets of the concern are in danger of waste through litigation and that it would be for the best interests of all to have receiver appointed.,e
 The Smith company owns the steam CTS Rosedale, Isabel, Marion and sev- eral other boats, which have in recent years piled as excursion craft between New York, Coney Island and Rock away beach.

Man Whose Machine
 Killed Horse Freed

James Porto, wealthy New Haven resident and business man, has been freed from responsibility for the kill ing of a horse in Fairfield avenue, last Sunday night apd the destruction of the wagon to which the animal was hitched. >4
 Porto was driving a touring car in town in Fairfield avenue, when he struck the farmers wagon, knocked two men from the seat, slightly in- turing them, and killed the horse in- stantly. The animals body was pierced by the splinters of the wagon. Assist ant Prosecutor Earle Garlick in court this morning stated to Judge Bartlett, when Porto was arraigned charged with reckless driving that the case should be nolled.
 Porto it is understood was not re- sponsible inasmuch as the wagon was proceeding on the wrong side of the street. w rtA ~47.s

Toolmakers Still Out
 at Ashcroft Mfg, Co

Sixty-five toolmakers at the Ash croft Manufacturing Co, who walked out yesterday after making demands on the management, continued on strike today, entirely closing up the tool department of the factory.
 Officers of the Machinists' union, to Which the men belong, declared that
 l0 Attempt had been made to replace sAhe strikers and that no conferences Ecould be Expected before Tuesday of snext week when the factory will re- Hppen for work
 Because of the fact that the only sdifrerence between employers and em- ployed arises over the employment of one non-union man during the recent strike episodes in this city, it is likely that settlement will be effected as soon as a committee from the strikers meet in conference with Ashcroft heads The e5 men refuse to work in the same department with Alfred Gardner, the man over whom the walk -ont occurred.
 The Manufacturers Association of Bridgeport, which had been appealed to in the matter, issued statement though Secretary Frederick A Ben nett outlining the factory's position, as follows:
 4'I am informed on very good auth orfty that Alfred Gardner has never been employed in any shop either in Bridgeport or elsewhere, while labor troubles were in progress. Previous to his employment with the Ashcroft Misunderstanding Co. he work Id for the Remington Arms-U. M. c. Co. and prior to that he was employed afn Boston The Remington Arms and Ashcroft are the only two places in Bridgeport or vicinity where he has worked

are concealed and the light is indi- rect. Also deck is polished maho- gany and the lines are defined by a light silver beading. The agreeable features of the Gunboat Roadster cre- ated by the Locomobile Custom De- partment< for the last years Salon have been retained. The appearance of this model is decidedly striking but it is not in any way freakisn. It is painted "jaune creme there being a very agreeable harmony between the color of the body and the deep azure of the Satin Finish Leather uphol- stery. The other sporting design is a Four Passenger model, an arrange ment in black and white and gray the balance of the color giving it a lot of style. It is decorated in a new style of stripping, one-quarter inch white stripe edged with black. The light folding top is emphatically Euro pean in character.
 The Touring Limousine, partly convertible type first developed in America by the Locomobile Custom Department is also exhibited. It is an interesting straight line study and effectively succeeds in making a large body seem much smaller than it really is. This is a creation in light and dark "Biege," the interior very simply upholstered in an imported fa- bric toned with the outside painting. This luxurious coach is accompanied by car of similar character only of the completely convertible type, a Semi Touring body painted in an especially composed green of an olive cast The interior is upholstered in a beautiful green fabric.
 The fifth feature of the exhibit is an example of Locomobile coach work, a Limousine painted in the deepest blue, the stripping being very delicate. The interior is arranged by the well-known decorator Miss Elsie DeWo1fe who has been retained exclusively by the Locomobile Com pany in recent years to advise in all matters of style and taste in fine mo- tor coach work, The Locomobile Com- pany also have on exhibition two cars the bodies of which were designed and built by Ho1brook and company and shown in their space. One is a smart Cabriolet of the collapsible va 1iety painted in pongee brown and the interior treated in the strictest conventional manner. Beside it is a Passenger Touring body mount ed on the 48 H.

 Locomobile exhibits two chasses at the Rubay stand the bodies having been designed and built by this coach maker. One car is a six passenger Sedan, silk-green and primrose-yel- low. There is also @ taking little open body for four passengers charmingly decorated.
 One of the most attractive of the Locomobiles is a new Sporting Cabri- olet designed by the Custom Depart ment, and built by Locke and com pany
 This is an illustration of the type Sportiff,'' convertible car for four passengers. and designed so as to be appropriate for the owner to drive himself In case of unexpected bad weather the rear passengers can be enclosed in a minute. It is painted in "Outremer D with carriage striping in coach yellow.
 There are two Locomobile- Town Cars of which it may be said that they could never be mistaken for taxicab.. The combination of a little body on a big chassis is deemed very smart for this reason. One of these cars is Landaulet, the other a Coupe and they have the rich and inconspicuous treatment always characteristic of the vehicles of the fine family. Both cars are painted in satin finish black out side, and the front seats are upholster- ed in black patent leather. There is no fixed roof over the driver, Ten delets" being used instead. These do not mar the appearance of the body when removed in pleasant weather. The interiors of both cars show the elegance and good taste of severe plainness. The Coupe is upholstered in an imported fabric the shade of fGris Perle'' without any tufting or lace and decorated with. fine lines of hand-stitching only tt
 Apparently there is no telephone in the cars, the receiver being concealed in the upholstery. When the owner wishes to give instructions to the chauffeur or footman, she presses a button to attract attention, then a push button which operate the tele- phone enabling the message to be giv- en without raising the voice. An other pressure of the push button and the conversation in the car cannot be overheard.
