SEEKING TO HEAD OFF
PRICE Of GASOLINE
Secretary Lane Urges General Land
Leasing Bill as a Remedy for
Present Conditions.

| Secretary Lane of the Department of
the Interior is actively exerting himself
to secure legislation which is of inter
est to automobile owners throughout
the country. There is said to be reason
to believe that the price of gasoline
| will continue to advance unless the
legislation advocated by Secretary Lane
is adopted by Congress at this session.
! The Secretary's effort is to secure the
| release of oil supplies which are now
| locked up by government Withdrawals
! of public lands and which will continue
| so indefinitely unless Congress passes
the general land leasing bill.
The Secretary has written letter to
Senator Myers, chairman of the public
| lands committee, in connection with
plans for national defense, and as part
of the subject he makes special refer
ence to the situation concerning gaso-
| line.
Secretary Lanes Letter.
In his letter the Secretary says
I'VE have some six million acres of pos
sible oil lands so withdrawn that no wells
| can be bored upon them. Only the lands
| now held in private ownership pro-
ducing We should be about the business
Of discovering what these withdra wn
| lands contain. Gasoline is invaluable to
the army and to the navy as well as to
| every automobile owner and to the owner
of every other gasoline-driven engine in
| the country. The development of these
resources can be made effective by the
passage of leasing BILL
Secretary Lanes reference to a leasing
| bill is based on the bill which has twice
passed the House of Representatives and
| has been reported favorably by the public
| lands committee of the Senate. The bill
| authorizes the exploration and DISPOSE
| ton of coal, phosphate. oil and potash
| deposits on the public domain, and opens
up to exploration and development about
| six million acres of oil lands, as stated in
Secretary Lanes letter. and also large
areas of potash and phosphate lands, the
product OF which would be of inestima BILE
value to the nation in time of peace as
| well as in war.
In previous letter, addressed to Sena-
| tor Phelan of California, Secretary Lane
emphasized his desire that there should
be legislation.

PIGS TO SO BOYS AND GIRLS.
Distribution Made in Vermont National
Bank Club and About 40 More Will
Be Supplied Soon.

Thirty-siX pigs, each seven weeks old
have been distributed through the
medium of the Vermont National banks
pig club to boys and girls in Windham
county and the bank has that number of
notes for So each to show for the in
vestments. The notes are signed by the
children and are payable December
with interest. County Agent A. W.
Swecton, who has charge of the dstribu-
ton of the pigs, said Saturday
that there were about 40 more to be dis
tributed soon, which will be all that can
be furnished in spite of the fact that APP
phcations are continuing to come in.
The boys and girls who already have
received their pigs have been at appoint
ed places to receive them when Mr..
Sweeton had notified them he would ar
rive with the consignment. One boy
near Townshend, who feared that his
father would be unable to take him to
the place of meeting in time, walked five
miles to sign his note and receive his
pig.
With each pig is given letter of sug-
gestions as to the best method of caring
for the animal.
The SO little aniamls have been distrib.
uted as follows Five in Townshend,
three in Williamsville, three in Dunn
merston, one in Ncwfane, six in Vernon,
five in Grafton. one in Athens, four in
SaNtons River, six in Brattleboro and
one in Marlboro.
The animals are all grade Chester
Whites and practically all were obtained
out of the state. About one third of
those who have become owners of the
little porkcrs are girls, and Mr.. Sweeton
says that that average will be main
tanned in the remaining 40 applicants.

SNEEZlNG ONCE FATAL SIGN
Superstition Was the Origin Of
Phrase, "God Bless You'll" Still
Heard in Europe.

Sneezing from very remote times
has been regarded with superstition.
Our forefathers went to bed again if
they sneezed while putting on their
shoes. A sneeze to the right was
deemed lucky; to the left, of evil por-
tent. To sneeze near burial place
was very unlucky, says the London
Telegraph.
Tradition has it that sneeZing was
at first a fatal sign-every human be-
ing sneezed but once and then died
but Jacob petitiened the Creator to
remove the sneezing ban and succeed
ed. Thence arose the once universal
custom of saluting a sneezer with
"God bless you'll" or MAY you live
lOngT' The custom still obtains in
some parts of Europe.
In England not only was sneezer
blessed, but friends raised their hats
to him as well. In an old book, ''The
Code of Conduct" it is directed that
''if his lordship sneezes ye are not to
bawl out God bless you! but bow to
him handsomely" All over the world
the sneeze was recognized. Whole
nations were under orders to make ex'
carnations when their king sneezed.
Sneezing was believed to be a sure
cure for hiccups and was also looked
upon as a sign of sanity. If ancient
and universal belief goes for anything
it is good to sneeze.

PUTTING ONE OVER ON cow
Japanese Solve Problem by Extensive
Use Of Artificial Milk Derived
From Soy Bean.

The milk problem is by way Of be-
ing solved in Japan, where cows are
scarce, by an extensive use of arti-
fetal milk derived from the soy bean.
First, the japanese soak the beans,
then boil them until the liquid turns
white, when they add sugar and phos-
phate of potash. The boiling is re-
sumed until a fluid results very similar
in consistency and appearance to ordi-
nary condensed milk. When water is
added soy milk is hardly to be dis
tinguished from fresh cows milk.
In composition also the artificial
milk is almost like genuine milk. Its
proteins, fats and sugars are in very
nearly the same proportion, although,
of course, they are wholly vegetable In
origin.
Whether the substitute is equal to
real cows milk as a form of nourish-
ment is not quite clear, for much OF
the value of milk as a food comes
from the engines or vitamines 1t con-
tains. The Japanese, however, declare
that it serves all the purposes OF
cows milk, and that it has the advan.
tage Of being less liable to infection
when properly and carefully manufac'
tured.-Youth's Companion.
