Binding Headlights.

The automobile headlight, with its con
fusing glare, has been the cause of so
many fatal accidents in this country
that it is little wonder that motorists
themselves are complaining bitterly. The
reed - some kind of reform is sceen-
tuated in Vermont Just now by the fatal
accident at st. Johnsbury which cost two
lives, occasioned, according to newspaper
reports, by the machine being ditched
when the driver became blinded by the
lights of an approaching car.
Night riding in motor cars is robbed Of
more than half its pleasure by those
high powered lights, and it is not free
from a well-nigh constant element Of
danger. Most cars are equipped with
DINNERS which permit OF the dimin-
ishing of the lights when another car is
approaching, but drivers lacking in suf-
fcient courtesy to employ the DINNERS
are constantly being encountered. How
to regulate this whole condition BY stat,
ute is difficult problem tone would
think that in SO obvious a matter leg.

You never can tell what day or a
night will bring forth. For instance,
the editor of the Mortified News penned
comfortable little statement on Mon
day evening that Things are moving
nicely in Mortified on the Dog, thank
you; the statement was set in type and
then locked in the forms for printing the
next day Immediately thereafter the
fates took hand and caused the towns
hotel to be burned and an adjoining block
to be damaged, while one life was lost.
There was just time enough to insert
the story of the great fire on another
page of the contemporaries Tuesday is
sue but not time enough to take out the
innocent little statement So it tran
spired that the issue of the paper ap-
peared with a statement of satisfaction
with progress of things in Mortified and
also with the story of a serious disaster
However, it will undoubtedly be possible
later on for the contemporary again to
use the statement which conficted with
the facts through Unforeseen eircum-
stances. The Times sincerely hopes so.

Republican candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, to withdraw from the stump on
advice of a Boston specialist. Mr.. HUI
burd is an excellent campaigner and his
temporary loss will be felt by those in
charge of the Republican campaign; but
If his health would be jeopardized by
participation everyone will gladly accept
his decision to take a rest before assum.

taking it for granted of course, that
he will be elected TO that position. The
rather arduous work of participating in

and Mr.. Hulburd will need to conserve
his strength for that.

experience with a confagration points
out the wisdom of making adequate
preparation for an emergency. Had the
water supply in Mortified failed ON
Tuesday, probably nothing could have
saved the whole side OF the village square
in which the hotel was located
BY general consent, too, the fire was
fought by the fire department in capable
manner; and that fact leads to the
thought that it might be a good idea to
institute a state conference of fire de-
partment heads in order that the best
theories in regard to fighting confagra-
tions might be gone over thoroughly for
the benefit of all We are convinced that
great deal of the annual loss by fire in
Vermont might be averted if the heads
Of departments and their immediate as
sistants were to receive instruction as
to the best methods of handling fires. In
most communities of the state the chiefs
and their assistants, a. well as the fire
men, are drawn from men in occupations
entirely unrelated to fire fighting; in
other words, they are not professional
fire lighters but are purely anna tours and,
too, amateurs who get their training
only at scattered intervals during the
course Of their service Moreover. there
are 'equent changes in the official lists,
it being necessary to develop new men
very often. Il follows. therefore. that
the most effective service cannot always 4
be depended upon when the emergency
arises, in contrast TO the situation at
Northfeld. Would it not be q good pol /
icy to have a school OF instruction for
fire fighters Just a. we now have schools /
Of instruction Tor health officers. road

iuced.

Germany, therefore, is praeticing econ

Farmer Specialists.


Charles NJ. Cox, writing from St. Al.
bans to the Burlington Free Press, urges
the farmers of New England to special
ice. He points out that thousands Of
farmers of this section of the country
are getting along and earning a living,
but that the men who are making from
$4,000 to $4,000 year net out Of the
soil are the ones who devote their ener-
gies to one crop, who study that one
question so thoroughly that they are
able TO overcome obstacles to the extent
that in the course Of time there ceases
TO be an element of doubt about secur
ing a crop in any one year. The onion
and tobacco growers of the Connecticut
river valley, the men in Wrentham,
Mass, who raise over 90, go Pekin ducks
in n year, and the owners OF big poultry
farms who have thousands of laying
fowls of one variety, producing so-called
fancy eggs for the city market, are max
ing bigger success financially than
many of the manufacturers and mer-
chants And they unquestionably enjoy
life more than the men who are tied
