Victories and Defeats.
Barre Times.

Some of the most notable defeats
in the Vermont representative con
tests in Tuesdays election are as fol
lows: Robert w. Simonds of st. Johns
bury, chairman of the state industrial
accident board, who was defeated by
c. NJ. Whitney, a Democrat; Rev. j.
Wesley Miller of Bethel, Democrat
who had served four successive terms
from town which was normally Re
publican and who was defeated by j. S.
Kimball; William A. Lord of Mont
pelier, former speaker of the House and
who had been mentioned as a possible
candidate, on the second ballot being
defeated by l.. b. Brooks, a merchant
who had not been in political life to
any great extent.
In contrast to these results is the
election Of Stanley c. Wilson of Chel-
sea, chairman of the Republican state
committee, considered two years ago
as likely speaker of the House and
mentioned prominently this year. The
result of Chelsea S vote will be that

Wood Block Floors.

Creosoted wood blocks, already ex-
tensively used as paving material for
city streets, have been coming into
use as flooring for the last four or
five years according to the Forest serv-
ice. It's durability, noiselessness I'M
der heavy traffic. and sanitary prop
critics are its chief advantages for paw
ing and also give 1T special value for
making floors, especially for use
where heavy trucking, the moving of
heavy machinery, or other severe use
makes the maintenance of floors
serious problem. It's rather high
cost is its chief disadvantage.
Wood block is now widely used for
flooring in factories. warehouses, ma
chine shops, foundries, various types
OF platforms, wharves, and docks. and
for such miscellaneous purposes as ho-
tel kitchens, hospitals, laundries, and
slaughter houses. Possibly one of the
oldest Of these uses.is for the floors
of wild animal cages and runways.
Notwithstanding the recent increase
in the use of wood block for these
purposes, it is believed that the growth
of this industry will be even more
rapid in the future.

WINDOW IS BURGLAR PROOF
Curtain Of Steel, Which Drops When
Glass Is Broken, Is One of
Latest Inventions.

The thief, brick in hand, awaits his
opportunity. When the policeman on
beat passes out Of sight he sinks
down the quiet avenue and takes up
position in front of a jewelry store
with an expensive and elaborate win
dow display. Reposing in the right
hand corner of the window is a tray of
diamonds. This the thief decides to
steal.
Choosing a section of the window
where the glass will make the least
noise in falling, the thief draws back
his right arm and the brick crashes
through the window. With lightning
agility he thrusts his hand through the
broken pane, and then, startled and
utterly dismayed, as quickly with
draws it. Had he not done so a bur-
glar curtain of steel, released from
the top of the window at the instant
of contact of brick with glass, would
have severed his arms at the wrist,
Popular Science Magazine states.
In other words, he was thwarted in
his attempt to steal by burglar cur
tain designed to drop and cover the
window the instant the glass Is bro
ken. In making his superficial exami-
nation he had failed to detect the
minute strands of wire stretched
across the window, several of which
were severed when the glass was
broken, setting into action a mecha-
nism which released the curtain.
The wires, stretched tight and an
chored at their lower end to a rigid
frame and at their upper end to a
latch, are arranged close enough so
that an object thrown through the
pane will sever one or more of them.
When this occurs the latch is drawn
! downward permitting the retaining
rods to move in under forced pressure
of their tension springs, which re-
leases a ratchet engaging with a shaft
round which the curtain is wound. The
curtain falls due to gravity. A simple
safety appliance prevents the curtain
from accidentally falling when the
window is being cleaned. 1t is wound
up on the shaft in a "set" position by
means of sprocket wheel.
