The east end of London, in which,! live the city's poor, suffered heavilya from the raid Bombs fell in many congested districts, and while the num- Der of casualties has not yet been as certained. two hospitals report ham, ding upwards of 50 cases. four of whom died and many of whom were seriously injured.
 The following official statement was issued:
 .tLord French (commander of the home defenses) reports that about Is hostile aeroplanes were heard cross ing the sEs& ex coast. passing in ehe vicinity Of the Nore (part of the estuary of the Thames) at about II g.. m. They proceeded in the direc- ton of London, separating when they had covered about half the distance. 'eThe East End of London has been attacked and bombed. but no report has yet been received of casualties or damage done. Anit-aircraft guns ofs the London defenses have been in ac-; tion. A large number of aeroplanes are still up, in pursuit.
 Andrew Bonar Law. member of the British war council, said in the house of commons that 31 persons had been A. London alone. The casualties in the whole metropolitan ares he said. were not yet known.
 This is the fourth raid made by the Germans in the new series of aer- ial attacks on England, in which aer- op1anes have been substituted for zeppelins, apparently on account of the success of the British in bringing down the dirigib1es. As on previous occasions the aepoplanes made the att tack in daylight. The last previous raid was on June 5. when IS aero planes dropped bombs on Essex and Kent. Eight of the is machines in the German squadron were driven down by British air1nen, Four of them were destroyed and two others were believed se have bee1 put conn pletely out of action. In this raid two persons were killed and a9 were injured.
 On May s3 four or five German air craft flew ever the eastern Eng lish coast and dropped bombs which killed one man. The largest num- Der of casualties in these attacks was oeeasiened by raid on May a5 over southeastern England, in which about 1e aefepianes took part. The bombs dropped killed f6 persons and injur- ed 174,

Vermont Legislature.

There cannot fail to be a general feel
ing of satisfaction, il not of positive re.
lief, that the people of Vermont have
the legislature of 1917 off their hands.
However, without any carping criticism
and in all fairness it must be conceded
that the record Of the lawmakers has
been most creditable, by and large. No
legislature in many years, if ever before,
has been confronted with an equal num-
Der of important problems requiring
Judgment for their proper disposal. And
probably no legislature has ever wasted
less time on matters of trivial eonse-
quence, on what used to be known as
"woodchuck legislation" 1t had its
failings, of course, as must needs be
with a legislative body based on square
miles, town boundaries, and not on pop
ulation. A truly representative body Of
one third the size would have done bet
ter work in half the time, probably, at a
very considerable saving in expenses. But
one representative per town, regardless
Of population, has been, is now, and prob,
ably always will be, the Vermont plan
1t is a foolish fetish to worship, to be
sure, but it appears to be permanently
set up for apparently it is impregnably
ntrenched.--Rutland News. ID

Starting Early Vegetables in the House

To have early vegetables in Vermont,
some of them must be started before
danger from frost il over in the spring.
Home gardeners who do not have hot
bed and who cannot buy young plants,
can get early crops Of tomatoes, cab
bage, eauliilower, peppers; eggplant. eel
cry and lettuce by planting the seed in
shallow boxes in the house. Seed so
planted terminate and grow quickly and
should be ready for transplanting by the
time it is safe to SOW the same kind
Of seed in open ground.
These shallow boxes, "a inches deep
should have one inch of fine, well-rotted
manure in the bottom, to serve as drain
age and to hold soil on roots when plants
are removed. Gravel or cinders are often
advised but plants are not easily re-
moved with ball of earth on their
roots. Fill box level full Of screened, rich
sandy soil, and lightly firm with piece
of board. Make rows crpsswise of box
two inches apart and one-fourth inch
deep. Put the seed in eight or ten to the
inch, cover and lightly firm. If soil is
dry it will require watering which should
be done slowly and thoroughly. If box
is covered with pane of glass and set
in warm place it should require no
water until after plants are up. Judg-
mcnt is necessary to keep moisture con-
dition right for good termination.
The first leaves to show are seed
leaves. When plants are from one to
two inches high, the true leaves APP
par. Then thin to two inches apart, Civ
ing space to make strong, stoeky growth.
More boxes may be prepared and the
Trimmings transplanted to two inches
apart each way In mild weather the
boxes may be set out of doors to make
them hard and tough in preparation for
to the garden later.
A good watering should be given just
before plants are taken out of box to
insure ball OF earth sticking to the
roots of each plant. A large ball of soil
means few broken root tips and slight
check of growth by the change. Proper
hardening OF plants to outdoor conditions
md careful removing from boxes are es-
sential to good stand in the garden.
The agricultural extension service of
5he University Of Vermont and state
agricultural college will gladly furnish,
lpon request, more detailed information
the starting of early plants.
