WAR RESOLUTION
 AGAINST AUSTRIA
 WILL BE PASSED k WITHIN "A HOURS
Continued from Page one)

as soon as the President believed it eXpedient.
 The Senate committees resolution makes war effective when the Presi- dent approves the resolution, instead of, as provided in the House docu- ment, dating the state of war from noon yesterday. Specific causes for war assigned in the House draft also are omitted in the Senate committees draft, which is virtually identical with the declaration against Germany.
 QUESTION TO BE DEBATED
 Debate in both branches tomorrow is expected to bear principally on the question of inserting the names of Germany's other allies.
 Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, and Borah of Idaho, republicans, led a strenuous fight in the Senate com mittee today to extend the resolution to Turkey and Bulgaria. They >haG strong support, but information sub- mitted by the state department final ly resulted in the unanimous approval of the declaration against Austria alone
 Senator Stone conferred late today with Representative Flood and urged substitution of the Senate committee draft for the House document. Mir. Flood objected, but promised to discuss the question with his committee mem bers tomorrow before House debate begins.
 Reasons given by Senate commit teemen for not adopting the House draft, although it was written at the state department are numerous. The senators contend that the recital of reasons in the House resolution for war with Austria furnish unnecessary complications, particularly as the statement that Austria had broken off diplomatic relations with this nation might be open to dispute.
 These technical differences. all lead CTS agreed, however, were compara lively minor considerations and would be ironed out, either by preliminary action, debate in the Senate and House or in a short meeting of conferets. Whichever house acts first tomorrow will. under the rules, immediately transmit its resolution to the other body, which will consider substitution or pass it's own draft and send the diff ferences to conference.

Bait For Fishina.

A fish hasn't nose, but it can smell.
Recent experiments have proved this.
Anglers have laid so much stress on
the need of exciting fish's interest
by tho look of food that the effect Of
scent mas been overlooked a shark
will bise at hook containing a piece
Of fat pork, although the pork does not
look like any kind of fish that swims
in the sea. H.f
1t may be heresy in angling to sug-
gest thht "a fly" should smell like n
fy. These scientific experiments show
how large part smell plays in the
food pursuit of fish. Bait, such as
small crabs, was found and eaten by
the fishes two or three times as rapidly
when the shells were broken. Bait
placed inside gauze bag was smelled
within three minutes of being lowered
~ the water, and almost at the same
time all the fishes began nibbling at
the bag. When cotton was stuffed into
its so called ''nostrils" the dogfish
would seldom observe the food that
came near them.--Chicago Herald.

Other PebpIe's Money.

In handling other peoples money the
principal must he kept intact. II, as
trustee, those to whom you are respon-
sible insist upon an income which you
in your heart know cannot be obtained
without taking some slight chance. give
up the trust without hesitation, says
Worlds Work. There is no more bit
ter experience through which an hon
est trustee or executor can pass than
the rendering of an accounting for n
lost or depleted trust. No reason or ex-
cuse can weigh for an instant against
the actual result which he faces. A
single slip in the handling of funds
like this may doom all future genera
tions of that family to lives Of poverty.
This is the greatest responsibility ever
laid upon Il trustee, an executor, a

man should assume it unless he Is pre-
pared to endure for the sake OF the
future all the criticism that may cen
ter upon him OH account of extreme

DRAGGING A MUDDY ROAD
Remarkable Results Achieved on
West Main Street This Morning

Something of what can be accom-
plished with motor drawn drag was
demonstrated on West Main street
this forenoon. One of the worst sec
tions Of street in the entire village is
the short stretch between the Chat
ham division railroad track and the
corner OF West Main street and Mill
street, A dozen years ago or more
when David E. Moore was street COM
missioner hard-head foundation waA
put in at this point and during the
years that have elapsed some gravel
has been applied to the surface. 1t
is a clay section, however, and both
the hardheads and the gravel have
been swallowed with the heaving each
spring when the frost came out of the
ground.
Sunday the road was nothing more
than a continuous chain of deep ruts
filled with water into which the auto
mobiles and teams splashed and wal
lowed on their way to and from Old
Bennington. The street looked like
one of the pictures in the good roads
magazines used to illustrate Just how
bad it is possible for road to be and
yet be saved by modern methods.
Early this forenoon Earl w. Will
Jams picked up Street Commissioner
Buss in the Hudson car, hitched on
the wooden dragi recently built for
that purpose and Dut in about an hour
on the collection of mudholes. The
drag smoothed out the ruts, pushed
soma of the gravel into the holes,
turned over the mud so that it was
exposed to the wind and sun and
worked an improvement in the ap-
pearance Of the street that one would
not have believed possible.
The demonstration should prove to
any ones satisfaction that there are
any number of streets in the village
that can be improved by the use OF
the drag The drag will not make
permanent roadbed but :t will i'm
prove the surface and what is even of
more Importance will keep the holes
filled and thus prevent the roads from
wearing out.
The work can not be done with
light car but Mr.. Williams suggests
that there are a number of owners of
heavy cars in the village who could
show their interest in the streets by
hitching to the dray occasionally.

The difference is apparent early. A

as girl has in hunting for vioiets.

A girl can give the impression when
away from home that her parents are

A PATRON OF ART.
Ho Was Good Buffer, but De Wlnt
Called His Hand.

Peter de Wint, the English land
scape painter. was accustomed each
year TO have semipriyate show of
his pictures before sending them to the
Water Color society's exhibition. On
such occasions his friends frequently
bought pictures, which, of course, ap-
peared at the public exhibition marked
Sold"
Among the painters friends was a
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
patron OF art and at the same time to
keep his money. lie managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold. He was always bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him most
and, having seen them, he could never
content himself with less beautiful
works.
De Wint at last suspected the mans
sincerity, and when the next show day
came round he concluded to test him.
Aftc- plenty of time had been allowed
for De Wint's friends to make their
purchases, the rich man arrived. AS
usual, his eye soon fell on two per
feet gems marked Sold Turning to
the artist, he said, Now, De Wilt,
those are exactly the things I should
like to possess; what pity they are
hot to be had"
MY dear sir" said the painter, slap
ping him on the back, Il knew you
would like them, SO put the tickets on
them to keep them for you"
