Buying at Home.

Every train between Boston and New
York and "your home town" in Vermont
is loaded, these days, with eager shop
pers who can't find what they want in
Rutland" or other adjacent cities.
When people have the ability to go
out of town and shop, the temptation to
do so is very great, and of course, it
can not be successfully maintained that

The display of bargain prices in the
metropolitan stores means nothing so far
as saving money is concerned. All goods
purchased at the end of a long railroad
journey, with hotel bills, csrfare and in
cidentals added pro rata, cost much more
than the same quality at home.

CURRENT COMMENT
Paying for Years of Folly.

A letter printed in another column re-
lates the typical experience of an Amer
lean firm ready and anxious to sell its
goods in South American market Gag r
to receive them. None of the ingenious
explanations of our export difficulties fits
the case The trouble was purely in the
field of transportation. 1t was almost
impossible to get cargo space. Sea
freight rates were extortionate. When
this problem had been dealt with a still
worse tsngle arose over getting the mat
erial to the seaboard.
Thus in the greatest opportunity that
has ever confronted the business men of
this country our traders find their hands
tied if they try to do business at new
stands. That maritime conditions should
be abnormal might fairly be expected
that our land transportation facilities
should be totally inadequate is a scath-
ing commentary on the failure of govern.
mental regulation of American railroads.
The program of that regulation has con-
tanned no single constructive features,
and until it is reformed all the advice
to exporters might as well be unuttered.
Charity is not the only virtue that be-
gins at home-New York Sun.

AN AMERICAN PIONEER IN THE
X-RAY FIELD.

The phrase martyr to science" is
oftentimes used without due dfscrimina-
ton and has, therefore, lost some of its
significance; but it can be applied to the
late DR.. Walter James Dodd of the Mas
sachusetts General hospital with exact
ness. He was in fact a martyr to sci
ence TO the science of the X-ray. Ever
since 1896 when Roentgen announced his
discovery OF the X-ray, Dodd has been
student of science. He not only was one
of the pioneers of the United States in
the use of the X-ray, but he was recog
nized as one OF the leading authorities, if
not the highest authority, on the subject
in the whole United States. Without a
doubt he was the leader in the matter in
New England, and the results of his in
vestigatons were sought all over the
country. In the progress of those inyes-
legations Dr. Dodd underwent great suf-
fering, as befell the pioneer in that re-
search. Before the use of the Xray had
become perfected the experimenter laid
himself liable to burns, to wasting the
tissues and to cancer itself. DIR. Dodd
went through the varied experiences OF
the early X-ray investigator and as re-
suit his hands became so burned and dis
torted that he was scarcely able to use
them in their normal functions, while all
the time he suffered great pain There
is no doubt that the injuries sustained
in those investiga tions contributed large
" to his death at the comparatively
young age of AZ years. Vermont takes
more than usual interest in DR.. Dodd be-
cause he was in measure a product OF
the state, having received the early part
of his medical training in the medical de-
partment of the University of Vermont
and being a graduate of that institution.
Indeed, he was one of the most distin-
gushed of the younger graduates OF that
medical college.

REQ REFINEMENTs

$50 many buyers over seventy
thousand-have been so proud Of their
cars that it was found almost impossi-
BILE to find room for improvement.
1.-The chassis of the 1916 is practical
ly the same as last year-in fact it
has been the standard of the REQ for
over five years." said F. w. Vogler,
president of the Northwest Auto COM
pany, in showing the cars being
"groomed" for the opening Of the Auto
Show. Monday, June oath in Portland.
THE chief feature of the REQ" be
said. "is its accessibility due to the
simplicity OF construction and result
ing ease Of replacing and adjusting.
And you'll notice that all instru-
ments are now on the steering post
this enables the driver to do all ad-
justing without STOPPING or taking at
tention away from the road ahead.
1.-THE new hook-up" of the starting
device is the only new feature in that
connection.
"In these days when the stealing of
motors has become well-organized
business. the thief-proof locking de-
vice on the REQ is causing the gentry
engaged in the new profession to pass
the REQ. This lock enables the driver
to simultaneously lock the starting de-
vice, the transmission and the floor
boards. The starting device is made
imperative, at the same time the
transmission gears are locked In neu-
trail position. And to make assurance
trebly sure, the floor boards are lock
ed down so that it is impossible to get
at the working parts.
you will see these features at the
Show. The advantages-that would
take columns to describe-will be cas-
lily seen at glance"

FIVE Negroes Are Hanged From
Limbs Of One Tree IN Georgia

Sylvester, Ga.-The death of five
negroes, whose bullet-riddled bodies
were found early Saturday morning
hanging from tree near Starkvilie,
Ca, was held in coroner's verdict to
have been due to ''strangulation and
gunshot wounds at the hands Of I'M
known parties" There was no indica-
tion that any further investigation
would be conducted.
The negroes, accused of implication
in the killing Of Sheriff Moreland at
Starkville, were taken from the jail
here late Friday by q small party Of
men who gained access to the cells
through a well-planned ruse and
whisked the five prisoners away in
automobiles. They persuaded the
sheriff to open the Jail doors by asking
permission to place a negro they
brought with them in cell for safe
keeping.
The negro disappeared while the
sheriff was being overpowered and
efforts to locate him or learn his ident-
ity have been fruitless.

Aiss Iaad Trosps Near Capital
Of Greece to Force CsuahY's Hand

Berlin-Be Berlin newspapers, accord
ing to the Overseas News agency, ex-
press the belief that the landing of
allied troops at Phsleron, five miles
southeast of Athens, is considered as
supplying proof that the entente pow
ers intend using extreme means to
force the hand of Greece.
The news agency says that according
to prevalent reports, the Greek gov
eminent has transferred part of the
state archives to Larissa, in North
western Greece, where, eventually,
the Greek government likewise will be
transferred.
Berlin newspapers, commenting on
the latest news regarding Greece,
unite in stating that the entente seems
to have abandoned all regard for Greek
neutrality and sovereignty. The land
ing at Phaleron is regarded as proof
that the entente is now going to use
extreme means for forcing Greece into
the war.
