STATE NEWS
Will Not Close Schools.

Morristown-A case of infantile pa
ralysis having appeared in Gilmore, a
meeting of the local board of health
the local physicians besides the
health officer present, also several
business men, and the question of
closing the schools and other public
places was thoroughly discussed. 1t
was finally decided, after consultation
with the secretary Of the state board
Of health, to close the churches and
local theatorium but allow the schools
to continue all of the five physicians
Of Morrisville to be at the village
schools each morning for a period of
two weeks to examine every pupil
with the understanding that the par
ents should have the option of keep
ing their children at home providing
that they confne them strictly to
their own premises keeping them
apart from all other children.
The Rev. DR.. George B. Lawson,
recently principal of Vermont Acad-
envy, Saxtons River, which is to be
closed for the present, has been
elected professor of education and
philosophy In the Pennsylvania Col
lege for Women at Pittsburg, Pa, and
entered upon his duties with the OPP
ening of the college year.
DR.. c. F. Ball, of Rutland, has
gone to Chicago, where he will read
paper before the Roengten-Ray So
ciety, Of which ne is a member. He
will be out Of the city several weeks,
taking up some post graduate work
at the Mayo brothers clinics in Roch-
ester, Mimi, and also studying at
Battle Creek, Mich.
Louis F. Crosier, who was admit
! ted to the Vermont soldiers home at
Bennington from Stamford and had
been there II years, died recently,
He had been at that institution long
er than any man now living.
Over 300 students are attending the
Lyndon Institute and Vail Agricul-
tural school.

curling brown hair. And she was cele-
.brated In her own neighborhood for
her physical strength. Without being
bulky or awkward, she had the power
Ct two ordinary men in her muscles.
The strongest man in the village was
as an infant in her hands when, to lend
interest to the evening sports, she con-
sented to demonstrate her strength.
So Henri married this lovely and at
tractive girl, and they went to house
keeping, and for a while the husband
was a success. He worked diligently,
and spent his evenings at home, and
his wife managed so successfully that
money was being saved. But all the
time the young man hungered and
thirsted for the bright lights in the
tavern windows. And before long he
began making frequent trips to the
grog bazaar, and when he returned
home his breath spoke volumes. 1t
went from worse to worse, as 1t usu-
ally does in such cases, and in a few
months Madame Henri had to spend
her evenings alone. The husband was
holding high wassail at the Horn of
Plenty inn.
1t was breaking her heart, and she
pleaded and argued with him, and even
threatened, and all to no avail. Henri
came Keeling home nearly every night,
Ia spectacle for the gods.
Then relative Of hers died and left
her a comfortable legacy. She had
long known that this money would
come to her, and when she was mar
iried she and her husband had made
beautiful plans as to what they would
do with 1t. They'd buy little farm
and live happy ever after. And now that
the legacy was hers, Madame Henri
made one last effort to arouse a sane
ambition in her husband. She implored
him to quit his foollshness and help
her carry out the original plans. He
seemed to be reused by her entreaties,

last wild oat. She believed him, and
negotiated for farm she had had her
eyes ON for long time. Then one day
she handed him some money to take to
the notary who was conducting the
negotiation.
He didn't take the money to the no
tary. He took it to the Horn of Pien-
his abode in merry humor. He opened
the door and entered, wearing vacu-
GUS grin. Madame Henri rose from
her chair and faced him, and a hot
wave Of anger swept over her. She
forgot her phenomenal strength when
she struck him. He fell to the floor
like a sack Of meal, and she realized
that he had taken his last drink.
On succeeding days neighbors
paused, as usual, at Madame Henri's
garden gate, to gossip a bit, and she
volunteered the information to all of
them that her husband had quit drink
ing and was going to settle down. He
had gone away to look at several prop
critics which were for sale, and she
didn't know when he'd be back. After
wards the neighbors remembered that
she had harped upon this matter in
sistently bringing it up every time she
talked with them.
A quarter of mile away from the
Henri cottage there was a stream, and
upon the bank of this stream there
stood a gristmill. One morning as the
miller was going to his daily task, he
observed queer-looking object on one
of the blades of the waterwheel. With
the help of long pole, hooked at the
end, he pulled the thing off the water
wheel and brought it to land. 1t was
coarse sack, containing something
heavy. He opened the sack and beheld
part Of a human body. With his
dusty hair on end, he went to the vii
lage police station, and the officer in
charge accompanied him to the river
bank and inspected the CHASTITY discov-
cry.
This was done by a woman" said
the village sleuth. "Only q woman
would have used a needle and thread
on sack. A man would have tied it."
The alarm was given, and the viii
layers helped to comb the stream, and
during the day various similar sacks
were found, all containing fragments
Of human body, and all sewn with
needle and thread. The head alone
couldn't be found, and the head was
necessary to the Identification of the
victim, and the solution of the mys-
terry. The days went by and no prog
ress was made, but the village sleuth
studied and worried over it day and
night, and finally concluded that the alb
sence of M. Henri would bear investiga-
ton. SO he disguised himself after the
manner of Vidocq and managed to be-
come well acquainted with Madame

Benton Admits War Has Changed Hi
Convictions.

Burlington-That Christianity has
not been crushed on the bloody battle
grounds Of Europe, that no heritage
of hate will descend to the children
of the warriors of today, and that
peace will some way, somehow, en-
erge from the ashes Of empires Is
the belief Of President Guy Potter
Benton, as expressed in his opening
address to the entering class Of the
University of Vermont He said in
part:
1--WE are living in new and pc
two years have changed the points
of view and altered the convictions
and ideals Of many thoughtful peo-
pie. must confess to modification
of my own views since delivering the
address on the threshold of the col
lege year 1914. l still hope for the
early coming of universal peace
through worldwide disarmament, and
! believe that the League to Enforce
Peace may become the Instrumental
w WHICH Will result III Tic ultimate
abandonment of war throughout the
world.
Until the other nations are ready
for that step, | am now persuaded
1t Is the part of sound wisdom for
the United States to adopt a policy
of military preparedness that will
guarantee the respect of other ma
lions and will safeguard us against
attacks by those people who are as
yet apparently unable to grasp the
finer conceptions of worldwide CHS
tian brotherhood animating every true
American.
God could doubtless give us by
one stroke of omnipotence, perfect
ed civilization with the sunrise OF
tomorrow morning. If He should dc
so, contrary to His established order
he would deprive men of the high
privilege Of working out by their own
efforts the proper destiny or man
kind"

Her Expansive Hat.

A woman entered car rather out
OF breath and presented a singular
appearance, for instead of a hat She
was balancing huge basket on her
head with as much grace and ease as
If 1t had been her Sunday bonnet. She
could just manage to get through the
doorway, but she sat down with the
basket gracefully poised on her head.

ductor. "And I shall want twopence

New regulations concerning the use

are to go into effect in England. The
shortage of gasoline, due to demands
made by the armies in France, is so
great that all motoring on Sunday has

Considerable increased tire mileage
may be obtained through the careful

and stops his car with jerk and
tries to turn corners on two wheels
he may soon expect blowouts. 1t is

TESTING PAINTS AND DYES.

Increased use is being made of the
flaming arc for paint and dye test
ing, according to paper read re-
Gently before the American Electro
Chemical Industry. The suggestion
was made by the author that with a
consumption Of 25 amperes the lamp
be used at two feet away from the
samples being tested. The author
declared that after having made sew
cral hundred tests between sunlight
and the white, flaming arc lamp, he
had found the latter far superior.
The flaming arc lamp was also found
more satisfactory than the nitrogen
filed lamp and other illuminants.
Not only does the flaming arc give
more uniform conditions Of test, but
It is more rapid, and tests can be
made in ten hours which require two
weeks by sunlight

HAVE FAILED TO UNDERSTAND
Writer IN Atlantic Monthly crtIclzes
the ldeas Held by Great Men
Concerning Women.

1t seems that the intelligence of
man cannot solve the problem of
woman, which is bad sign in a SUI
perior intelligence. The trouble lies
in this: man assumes far too readily
that woman essentially differs from
man. Hardly man has lived who did
not so exaggerate. Nietzsche, Scho-
penhauer, agreed to despise wom-
en-; Napoleon seemed to view them
as engines Of pleasure; for Shake
speare they may well have embodied
a romantic ideal, qualified by sport
i've wantonness. In Walter Scott
women appear as romance in cheap
edition; Byron in their regard is a
beast of prey, Doctor johnson a
pompous brute, and a puritanical
sensualist. Cervantes mixed in his
romantic outlook a sort of suspi-
cious hatred, while Alexandra Du-
mas thought them born only to lay
laurel wreaths and orange blossoms
together with coronets) upon the
heads of musketeers. All, all-from
Thackeray, who never laid his hand
upon a woman save in the way of
patronage, to Goethe, to Dante, to
Montaigne, to Wellington-all har-
bored this curious idea; in one way
or another woman differs from man.
And today, whether we read Bernard
Shaw, George Moore, NJ. Paul Bour-
get or Hall Game, we find that there
still persists a belief in Byron's
words: "What a strange thing is
mani And what a stranger is wom-
an !"-Atlantic Monthly.

WAS NOT HIS TIME TO DIE
British Airman May Truly Be Said
to Have Escaped by the "skin
Of His Teeth.

The flying corps Of all the armies
have distinguished themselves for
daring and gallantry during the pres
ent war. An eye witness at the Brit
ish headquarters, says the Field, tells
about one thrilling episode that was
more sensational than most of the
adventurous exploits that occur
along the front almost daily.
A British airman, alone in a
single-seated aeroplane, saw and pur-
sued a German machine. While try
ing to reload his machine gun he lost
control of his steering gear, and the
aeroplane turned upside down. The
belt round the mans waist was
rather loose, and the jerk almost
threw him out of the machine; but
he saved himself by clutching hold
on the rear center strut, while the
belt slipped down round his legs.
As he hung thus, head downward,
making desperate efforts to disen-
gage his legs, the aeroplane fell from
a height of 5000 feet to about $500
feet, spinning round and round like
a falling leaf. At last he managed
to free his legs and reach the control
lever with his foot. Then he sue
ceeded in righting the machine,
which turned slowly over, completely
"1ooping the loop" Thereupon the
pilot slid back into his seat and came
eomposedly to the ground.
