Patriotism in women is, often a de-
teTmining factor in the perpetuatiOn
of nation. Despite my career, if
I were married and my husband was
at the front, that is where / would
be. I believe in the patriotic woman.
She is the hfe[bloOd Of every nation.
Her willingness to endure suffering
and hardship is the greatest inspira-
ton to every man who is called in the
defense of his country.
What would the national prepared
ness movement have been without
the wOmen's support? They braVed
the burning sun of many cities to
march in demand Of adequate pro-
lection of the nation against the ag-
erosion of aliens, and encouraged
many of the menfolk, who might
otherwise have been apathetic, to
follow their example.
War brings out the true character
Of women, Just as forcefUlly as it
does that of men. It serves to dis
tinguish real love from profession
of love. It turns hearts inside out
and makes them readable.
Girls of the present generation I'M
fortunately have not had the OppOT-
tunities nor the incentive to develop
the spirit of patriotism that dOmi-
mated the natures Of their mothers
and grandmothers. Modern achieve
ments in the world Of invention and
science have removed the inconven-
fences and hardships of yesterday.
Luxury and ease have come to
take the place Of labor and toll, and
the tests that developed stamina in
the time past, today exist in memory
only. The rose-streWn pathway, to-
gether with the nervous tension Of
the age, has tended to dwarf the Vi
tally of present-day girls. The
world has been moving too fast; the
time has come to reduce speed,
throw out the clutch and apply the

LIFE OF NATION DEPENDS ON PATRIOTISM OF
WOMEN, SAYS MABEL NORMAND

Patriotic emotions are born of a
strong body and high mind. The
pages of history are filed with evil
dence of the truth of this sentiment.
We have only to look back upon the
lives of MOIIie Pitcher and Joan
dare, whose names will never die,
for convincing proof.
Molly Pitcher, during the battle of
Monmouth, in revolutionary times,
manned" a cannon in her husbands
place when he was made helpless by
an enemy's shell, and prevented the
guns capture by the British.
Joan dare, mounted on a horse at
the head of the French columns, won
a great victory for her people, driV-
ing the enemy out Of France.
These are surely two great exam
pIes-look to them, girls!

In New England town the other day a
man was fined 500 for running away after
being in an automobile collision. This is
encouraging. It is apparent that the pen
atty for this dastardly act must be in
creased if the practice is to be stopped.
The time for fooling with reckless auto
mobilists has past and the courts must
put the screws to them if there is to be
a semblanee of safety on the public thor
oughfa,es. And no class will be better
ipIeased with this course than autoists in
terested in their own safety and the safe
| ty of Others, and who handle their car,
as they should.

a writer in the Hudson, Y. Y. Bepub-
Iican notes that the history of nearly every
successful man may be summed up in the
one word-thoroughness. The secret of
mechanical financial, commercial, profes-
sional, or any other pre-eminence lies in
that one word. Education may shine now
and then, but thoroughness glows steadily
always. Special training may make fine
spurts ahead, but tloroughness is the
tabled tortoise in the race. Talent may
dazzle at times, but tnoroughness may be
depended on all the time. The thorough
men are the solid foundation stones of any
business. The listIess, time-serving, clock
watching ones are poor material

THE SPRTN BONN
y Howard Liam

The spring bonnet is a mournful re-
minder of woman s supremacy over
man. Il begins to make its appearance
in the show windows and peep shyly
out Of the department store advertise
ment before the snow is off the ground,
and also before apprehensive husbands
have saved up enough money to meet
it without wabbling at the knees.
The most deadly form of spring bon
net is what is known as the advanced
pattern style, which is so exclusive in
design that it cannot be patterned af-
ter by anyone else without calling in
a lanscape gardener. The pattern hat
is stunned by every husband who has
had a bill for one laid on his desk
face upward, where he can shed an I'M
awaiting tear. In the middle of August
the early spring hat has no more sale
value than fieece-lined underwear in
South Africa and can be bought for 4
crisp 81 bill. Why is it. then, that
woman does not buy her spring hat
during the dog days, and thus enable
her husband to save more money with
which to invest in smoking tobacco
and Kelly pool?

You Can Take It or Leave It.,

(White River Junction Landmark.)
The story is told of a typical old
time merchant, who when anyone hest
tated on u purchase, remarked:
"'You can take it or leave it. [ don t
care whether l work or not. If you
don t want it, some one else WILL
That spirit might serve in the old
times. In those days, styles changed
little and merchants carried goods
over from year to year. They could
be fairly sure that if they didn't sell
this season, they would at some other.
The present is a time of changing
styles. Live merchants clean up stock
and get fresh goods. They would not
dare do otherwise. What is good style
in 1916 may be outIawed in 1917.
The only way to clean up stock at
each season is to advertise it in the
newspapers. The man who doesn t is
too apt to be the old-timer who
''didn t care whether he worked OF
not. -

The home garden class of Lyndon
vile, under the direction of Mrs. John
B. Chase, is doing a work which might
well be emulated in many Vermont
communities. The boys and girls are
both enlisted, and the raising of crops
and the canning of fruit is only a part
of the instruction which teaches the
rising generation to be useful. A dis
play of maple sugar products was a
recent event, and prizes We're given in
several classes. The president of the
Vermont Sugar Makers association
and other speakers addressed the young
workers, manufacturers of ar-mak
ing utensils made exhibits, and there
were demonstrations of various ways
in which the maple products could be
used. The boys and girls of Lyndon
vile Will have something besides book
learning to fall back on when they face
the problems Of life after school days
are over.

Spring Poem that Is Different. -

The following little verse has been
doing missionary work by going the
rounds of the press. Since "a word to
the wise is sufficient. - it is probable
that as a result q number of ''little
cans of paint - may be spread, and that
several "Iittle beds of lowers' may
bc forced into bloom, Just where they
add most in the way of comfort and
attractiveness:
Little beds of flowers,
Little cans of paint,
Makes the homes attractive

a process called trimming. People who
have watched this process worked cut
say that it is hard to tell which has
been trimmed the most effectively, the
hat or the husband, but the result IS
a creation which causes envy to spring
up in church ana social circles. 1t al
so causes every maid servant in town
to secure one just like it, thereby max
ing it necessary to consult another
trimmer.
The 1916 spring bonnet will have
regular equipment, there being no ac-
cessories to buy except the shape,
trimming materials, labor and over
head charges. The toque with a spear
of timothy hay protruding from the
crown will be worn a great deal for
three weeks. when the summer styles
will come in. 1t is sad to think of
the millions of cast-off toques that cost
$3.50 each, lying around in American
attics without so much as the protec-
ton of a moth ball. The question has
often been asked: Why is it that wo-
man viii serve pork roast four days
hand running and vet refuse to wear
a spring toque fifteen minutes past
the first of June?
The spring bonnet would he appre-
ciated more by husbands if it was cen
structcd of Portland cement.

A KINDLY INTEREST.

The other day in Boston Cardinal
O'ConncH met Bishop Lawrence, who IS
president Of the church pension fund OF
the Episcopal church After a cordial
greeting Cardinal O'ConneH said:
Bishop, I want to thank YOU and
your church for what you are doing
for the better support and the pen
sions of the clergy You are bringing
all the clergy before the people as
persons, as men who have human
needs and troubles and everyday re
sponsibiities. Too many people look
upon the priests as officials only.
You are helping everybody to feel
that they are also men. God speed
you in your great work.
There. was spontaniety about tn
meeting and greeting that showed
bond Of sympathy The Catholic churcl
with its marvellous organization, is no
confronted with the problem of carin
for its superannuated clergy, yet the Can
dinaI was willing to extend his sympath
for a cause that is entirely out Of hi
church. Surely the churches are gettin
closer together as they should The

A writer in the Rutland News makes
the claim that the term fish hog does
not apply simply to the man who
catches more fish than he needs or Is
allowed by law to take, but includes
also the man who takes fish from the
waters of the state year after year
and never does anything toward re
stocking them. This may be rathe,
broad definition now that the fishing
license law is in effect, but it has been
true heretofore that while hundreds of
men were always ready and willing to
do their share of fish catching the bur-
den of replenishing the streams with
fish has been borne by a comparatively
few. This situation has been due per-
haps less to sel6shness than to lack of
organization. There are many fisher
men in Brattleboro and the surround
ing towns who would be willing to pay
toward the expense of restocking
streams far more than the amount they
lpay for license, and if there was a
county fish and game club their eontri-
buttons would be secured regularly.

The warrant for village meeting con
tains only two articles pertaining to
business outside a purely routine ma
ture. The first of these relates to re-
imbursing the Valley Fair association
for such public use as is made of the
fair grounds by the children of Brat
tleboro. As The Meddler understands
it. the fair officials expect only 4 com
parativelv small amount, just enough
to care for the upkeep on the prop
erty; and it would feel disposed to
vote the money. Brattlcboro does lit
tie enough in the way of providing
playground facilities for its future cit
liens. The other article provides the
commissioners with authority to offer
rewards, not exceeding $50, for the APP
prehension of persons guilty of such
crimes as sounding false fire alarms,
This authority ought to be granted
without a moments debate, and
doubtless will be.

Little comment has been heard thus
far on the annual financial statement
of the village, issued in pamphlet
form last week. The past year has
been a rather uneventful one in village
affairs, but that the commissioners
have been on their job is shown by
the fact that they have been able to
cut down the liabilities to the extent
of $500 and closed the period with a
balance of over 81 500 in the treas
ury. A tax of 40 cents, the same rate
as last year, would be ample to pay
current expenses and still further re-
duce the liability account; in fact, it
might be possible to get along with a
38-cent tax although the leeway IN
der this rate might not be considered
sufficient to care for unforeseen eontin-
gencies.

ably has as thorough a knowledge of

Moreover, he is fair-minded and tact

The MeddLer

The traffic posts which the village
commissioners have bought for in
stallation at the junction of Main and
High streets and Main and Elliot
streets ought to be of no inconsiderable
value in helping handle the automobile
traffic at these eongested corners. For
the past two or three years The Med
dler has been recommending the use of
posts of this sort, and he is glad to
note that the village authorities have
come to his way of looking at the prop
Osition. The statement of the com
missioners that 1.-the services of day
policeman will be needed for a few
days when these posts are first in
stalled brings up again the much
| discussed question of the need of a
police officer on Main street at all
times. There are good many people
who believe that Brattleboro is big
enough to keep at least one policeman
on duty throughout the day, and their
contention is that he could earn his
salary in n score of ways On the 9th
er hand, there are many folks who be
lieve that there is no reason for a day
officer in such law-abiding commun-
ity as this. In the opinion of The
Meddler, the steadily increasing auto
mobile traffic is enough III itself to
make the services of a day officer nee
essary throughout the spring, summer
and fall and the time is not far dis
tint when the village officials will
share this belief.
