Senator McNichol today indicated that
the move toward harmony might not be
as successful as he at first hoped.
I'VE are talking harmony" he said.

Hat Braiders at West Townshend De-
prived of Material by War.

Brattleboro, April s-The business OF
braiding pameaf hats, which is carried
on in and around the village of West
Townshend, is in danger of being wiped
out as result of the European war.
That locality is one of the few in New
England where palmleaf hats are braid
ed in the homes, and although the bust
ness is much smaller than formerly it
will surprise most persons to know that
not far from 100 persons devote a part
OF their time to the work. under the di-
rection of Charles H. Grout, who main
tains the business in connection with his
general store in West Townshend
For several months Mr. Grout has been
unable to get the palmleaf, which comes
from southern Europe. The leaves come
to this country folded like closed fan
and are bleached and split to the desired
width before being sent to the localities
where the hats are braided.
Back in 1880 from 1900 to 2000 persons
in and around West Townshend devoted
their leisure hours to braiding hats for
]. II. Fullerton, who shipped from l5,-
BOO to 10000 dozen year. There was
profit of eight cents each to the braid.

The work OF braiding is always of
much curiosity to city visitors. 1t is done
