Junior Glass Book Has Countless
Pictures and Good Editing.
The Kaleidoscope the biggest class
publication of Middlebury' S College year
lis being distributed to its subscribers
The book is edited by fourteen men
and women Of the junior class, headed by
Irving Willard Eastman of st. Johns
bury as editor-in-chief, and he and his
associates are to be congratulated on
their success. The book is dedicated to
William II. Porter of New York, a
trustee of the College who has done
much for it, and besides the usual por-
traits of the president and faculty, the
book has an unusually fine collection of
junior class pictures, the portrait of
each member being shown together
with snapshots of them out of doors,
giving both the necessary dignity and
life to the illustrations. The comments
on each member are particularly well
written, and the book runs up to 270
pages with great many group pictures
and college data. The one shortcoming,
and that not serious, is the small merit
Of the original designs and sketches
which are intended to embellish the book.
But artists and caricaturists are always
few and far between in ordinary
academic life.

Llshts on Vehicles Demanded.


The law requiring lights to be dis
played on vehicles went into effect last
Tuesday. The penalty for not observ-
ing the law is So and costs. One arrest
would cause more expense than the cost
of buying the necessary lantern equip
melt, and of course the man who con-
tiuues to ignore the law is liable to come
under the ban at any time. Following
is the main provision of the Vermont
laws:
every vehicle on wheels, whether
stationary or in motion on public high
way shall have attached to it light
which shall be so displayed as to be WIS.,
ible from the front and rear during the
period of from as minutes after sunset
to 45 minutes before sunrise; provided,
however, that this act shall not apply to
a vehicle which is designed to be
by hand, or any vehicle de-
signed for the transportation of hay,
straw, wood, lumber, stone, machinery
or other heavy freight

Iecting to Register for
Military Service.

The police here have become ac-
tive in rounding up so-called slackers.
who are accused of neglecting to reg
lister for military service. The ma
tional guards here arrested a man for
prowling about the Raritan Copper
Works field early yesterday morning.
John Rion, of 6s6 State street, and
Ralph Tavos, of Washington street,
are among the latest to be arrested
for not registering. Both these and
a number of others similarly accused
hame been forced to register at the
city clerks office. Tavos, arrested
yesterday by Patrolman Calvin, was
registered today just how long this
practice may continue has not been
definitely determined. The regula-
tions provided that registration re-
turns must be filed within five days
after June 8. The authorities now
claim the time has been extended to
enable completion of records. STEM
ographers are busily engaged at the
city clerks office in making copies
of the registration returns. --------
Following conversation with the
adjutant general this morning Mayor
John f. TenBroeck said registration
was still under way. He declared
that he was unable to say how long
1t would be continued, and added

do the right thing. 1t was also stated
at police headquarters that 1t was
not desired to impose any hardships.
and that persons who through abb
sence or Ignorance had failed to reg
lister, would be registered without
penalty. However, authorities de-
clared that examples would be made
of such persons who were found to
have deliberately refrained from
registering on June 8.
A man who gave his name as
George O'Neil and said he came from
Parlin, was taken into custody early
yesterday morning by national
guardsmen and placed in charge Of
Lieutenant Murphy. The guardsm en-
aver that he was found acting sus-
piciously about the Copper Works
field. After 1t had been ascertained
the man was harmless and had stray

meeting of the Liberty Loan commit
tee will be held at $3.50 o'clock tomor-
row night in the city hall.
Foreigners employed in the indus
tries of this city are taking q great
interest in the Liberty Loan, once its
real meaning is explained to them.
Many of these foreigners, upon hear
ing that the government wanted
money from the people, supposed It
was case of confiscation, the same
as they have been accustomed to in
Iue OlQ country. AS bOOfl tS IL iS ca :
planned to them that the government
will give them good security for the
money, and will pay them interest

ested and many have invested in the
bonds gladly.

foreigner could not speak English,
had the matter explained to him,
upon. being asked If he did not want
to icT,1 the government $50, he re-
piled: mo, not fifty but two hundred
dollars"
Another instance Is told of a man
who, upon having the loan explained
to him, went homo and brought back
a bag containing coin amounting 10
$4,000 which hh had accumulated

which have been repeated in practi-
cally all Of the industries here. show
what confidence these foreigners have

kind of money--n1oney that is hidden
away-that the government is most
anxious to bring out.
