CUPID DIRECTS TWO
HOLYOKE COUPLES
Came to Brattleboro on Morning Train
Each Sought to Escape Friends,
but Met at Station.

Refine Henry Bourbon, dyer artist
of Holyoke, Mass, and Miss Frances
Ethel Linthurst, also of Holyoke, de-
eided to take an early train this morn
ing and come to Brattleboro and be
married. They were anxious to escape
the attention of friends.
James Wildman, machinist of Hol-
yoke and Miss Augusta Marie Marten,
also of Holyoke,, had exactly the same
idea and their plans called for them to
take the early morning train at Hol-
yoke for Brattleboro.
At the railroad station the two
couples met. Ali were intimate
friends and naturally each pair knew
instantly what the other intended to
do. They made truce and came here
together, and after getting their mar
riage licenses went to the home of
Rev. Thomas w. Owens, pastor of the
Methodist church, where the two eere-
monies were performed.

HATS CAUSE Badness.
Band Congresses Vessels and starves
Roots of Mems Hair.

In the February American Magazine DIR.
Arthur X. Reynolds, former health COM
missioner of Chicago, gives the following
reason for badness:
The hats that men wear are the ca,,se of
their badness above the hat line. Women
also wear hats, but their hats are fastened
TO their hair and do not grip the head as
mems hats do. All other causes OF bald
ness, such as infections. seborrhea. etc. al
iect both sexes alike and are, in fact. more
difficult to treat locally in women than in
men because of their long hair.
How does the hat affect the growth Of
hair in man. BY COMPRISING the arteries
the veins, the lymphatics, and 10 some ex
tent the nerves that supply and nonrish
the hair. 1t is not because the hat is hard
or soft or that it keeps the head too hot
1t IS because the hat band compresses the
vessels and starves the roots of the hair
Caps may do the same thing, but caps as
rule do not grip the head so tightly as hats
do
Baldness usually begins at the summit OF
the crown toward the back part, at the dis
tant and weaker part of the vessels fur
nishing the circulation. In such cases the
pressure has been on the vessels on the
side of the head. Sometimes the badness
begins above the forehead and is the high
forehead type of badness.
In these cases the pressure has been
upon the vessels of the forehead. Some
times the head is bald low down in the
back where the pressure has been upon
the vessels in this region. When the head
is completely bald on top the pressure has
been ON the entire vascular supply of the
scalp.

STATE NEWS NOTES.
Woman Receives Verdict for Damages

The jury, which has passed the bet
ter part of two weeks time listening
to the case of Hattie E. Moses
against James K. Howe in United
States court for the district of Yer
mont, returned a verdict Thursday
night for the plaintiff to recover 81 ,25O
for damages received when a bull be-
longing to the defendant attacked her
as she was crossing a field in which
the animal was pastured.
Final Judgment was not given by
the court, and it was intimated by
the attorneys for the plaintiff that
they might make a motion to set the
verdict aside.
Raymond Mangan, who broke into
the postoffice at Center Rutland Christ
mas eve, was in court and pleaded
guilty to the charge fled against him
in the indictment made out by the
grand jury. He obtained but a few
pennies at the time of the break. He
was sentenced to serve three months
at hard labor at the house OF correc
tion at Rutland and was fined 81 with
out costs.

Our White Coal Possibilities.
(St. Johnsbury Caledonian,)

Clarke C. Fits in addressing the
Apollo club at Montpelier said that
Vermont can develop enough electri-
cal energy to supply all New England
with power BY the storage of water
at the head of the Deerfeld river the
low water volume of that stream had
been increased from Is to 400 cubic
feet per second and this development
has decreased the shipment of coal
into New England 250,oo0 tons per
year. Vermont can develop 100000
electrical horse power year which
would save 100000 tons of coal to
New England each year. The pro-
posed storage at Groton pond would
increase the power along Wells River
twentv-seyen times. That stream
could produce from 10000 to 10000
more kilowatt hours each year than
is now being produced. With such
possibilities as these before us there
is no reason why every Vermonter
should not become a constructive agent
and some Of them become the leaders
in a greater and more diversified in
dustrial life for the state. Vermonters
can become big men if they will sue
cessfully tackle the big problems now
before them.

Vote to Table the McLemore
Resolution to Be Taken
Next Monday
ACTION IS EXPECTED
TO BE VERY DECISIVE
It Is Planned to Have the Vote Ac-
companied by a Declaration That
President Shall Handle Diplomatic
Affairs Without Interference.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE next
step in President Wilson's fight to dispose
of the armed ship agitation in congress has
been postponed until Monday
AT an early conference today adminstra-
tion leaders in the house decided not to in
sist on a vote today.
This afternoon the rules committee will
meet to frame a rule to table the McLe-
more resolution to warn Americans off the
The rule will be brought in with the first
The rnel will be brought in with the first
business Monday, when the administration
forces plan to dispose of it by a substantial
majority. The foreign affairs committee
already has agreed on the resolution. That
the action in the house shall give no room
for doubts of the decisive character of the
sentiment in congress administration lead
ers plan that the tabling of the MeLe-
more resolution shall be accompanied by a
declaration that the President shall han
die diplomatic affairs without congressional
interference.
The leaders are confident they have the
votes to make their victory complete and
undisputed
Leaders explained that the postponement
was agreed upon because of the absence
of so many members on weekend trips.
Many left yesterday under the impression,
it was said, that the house session today,
which began at 10 o'clock, was to end at
noon and would consider only claim bills.
Administration officials said today that
virtually all senator's who voted yesterday
to table the Gore resolution were voting
for the President s policy and that should
the house fail to vote to uphold the Presi-
dent in decisive form the fight might be
carried back to the senate for a direct vote
to defeat the McCumber resolution warn
ing Americans off armed ships of beliiger-
ent nations. They expressed confidence
that complete victory would follow such a
course
The decision of the house leaders today
to postpone a vote until Monday was re.
ported without consultation with the
President and confused the situation. 1t
was said the White House was opposed to
postponing action.
Later indications were that the vote
on the warning resolution would not
be taken in the house before Tuesday
This developed at a conference. Speak
or Clark was opposed to vote Mon
day, as it would interfere with the
unanimous consent calendar
Reports of a special rule to give the
house an opportunity to vote on the
straight warning issue instead of
tabling the McLemore resolution were
circulated. Majority Leader Kitchin
said such a move had been discussed.
Such action would not be disagreeable
to the President.

REGRET TO LOSE MIR. cLAPP.
Pennington Chronicle Speaks Highly
OF Congregational Minister.

In its report of the resignation of
Rev. Richard II. Clapp of Pennington,
Me, who has accepted a call to the
Centre Congregational church of this
town, the current issue of the Farm
ington Chronicle says:
The prospect of Mr.. Clapp's re-
moval from Pennington is source of
regret to the whole town, while to his
own parish it brings real grief. As
his letter states, Rev Mr.. Clapp has
been pastor of the Congregational
church here for nearly twelve years.
lie has steadily grown in the esteem
OF all as preacher and citizen. AS
preacher he has probably few equals
of his age in New England and as a
resident he has always stood for the
highest ideals of life and has in vari
Gus ways labored for civic betterment.
His going away is a great loss not only
to his church but to this section and
to the state. His family also all
much regret to lose from our village. ),
