MEATLESS DAYS

It seems TO US that it IS entirely unnecessary to designate any meadess
days They are here and have been here for a long time Meat costs SO much
that the people are denying themselves meat several times q week
There va a time when a $15aveek salary could buy bacon at g cents for
the family breakfast To-day bacon cannot be bought for lest than as cents q
pound. and so n with all meats
Is # any wonder, when sOupbones fr soup and a small piece Of "a for
frying must be paid for extra and meat is kept in storage housestO create a
shortage, Mr. Hoover avs that the Government cannot control meat prices
that the meat question creates an unrest in the minds Oft the people?

Jim Watson told the Virginia Republicans hat the pllngtng Of this coun

The statement that Senator Watson made this statement Is a deliberate

tai and Talks Interestingly Of
Fighting Against Germans.

Company Sergeant Major j. II. Buck
lev of the Canadian Army Gvmnastic
staff of physical training and bayonet
lighting, was in Brattleboro today and
interested many people with sketches
of his experiences while fighting against
the Germans with the allied forces in
France. He landed in Canada three
weeks ago, after being for nearly a
year in an English hospital suffering
from wounds received in action and is
now on q three weeks furlough, during
which time he will visit his former home
in Taftville, Conn.
Major Buckley first enlisted in Sep
TENDER, 1914, at training camp Just
outside Quebec and crossed the ocean
with the first contingent Of Canadian
forces. He was then member of the
ROYAL Highlanders of the Canadian 18th
battalion. He was born in this country,
but his folks removed to England when
he was six years old. just Is months
before the war started he returned to

battle OF the lpres, Festubert and Ga

Fcstubert that he was first wounded over
the right eye and in the right arm. That
was III May. Later at Kemil, Belgium
both OF his ankles were injured
His battalion was the first to receive
/ the Victoria Cross for valiant work That
was awarded because of the three DAYS
stand made against the Germans without
lartillery assistance.
Speaking of the trench life, Major
Buckley says that while his experiences
have not all been pleasant ones he is
I glad that he has been through them and
many OF the scenes which he witnessed

discussing. declaring that if the actual

Summing up the situation as he saw il

In the time Of Luther was worked for
silver, copper, alum and vitriol, has
been discovered by Berlin geologist
to have developed into one Of the most

centuries the water percolating through
the minerals has built up throughout
the mine a wonderful labyrinth Of stall
actites and stalagmites, thrown to-
gether with profusion and brilliance
Of color which is said to be without
parallel. Deep greens, vivid blues, the
purest white, yellows Of all shades-in
fact, the entire scale Of color is repro
duced over and over again, and yet
the colors melt into each other so
gently that nowhere Is the impression

Malna'a Gum Industrv.

Gathering spruce gum has long since
become one Of the steady minor indus
tries of Maine, where every year about
5000 tons Of crude gum, valued at a
third Of million dollars, are harvested.
The crude article is formed as the re-
suit of injury to red and black spruce
trees. Hedgehogs feed upon the inner
burk of ;rees, and the injuries they
cause, known as hog cuts" are fruit
full sources of gum. Lightning scars.
.ro3t cracks, old blaZes and the abra-
slons caused by falling trees and even
zap sucker drills are other occasions
for gum formation. Around the edges
of such wounds little nodules appear
and gradually develop into Jumps or
teats. A wide scar heals slowly and
may produce gum around the entire
wounded area, while a narrow seam
closes so quickly that only a single row
Of these nuggets" Is possible.-Argo-

AS to what are the primary colors
Is something on which authorities
have disagreed. Sir David Brewster
called red, yellow and blue the pri-
mary colors, and this view has been
commonly held by painters and others,
since all the known brilliant hues can
be derived from admixture of these
three pigments. But II the pure spec
trail colors are superposed upon a
screen the resulting colors are quite
different. Thomas Young suggested
red, green and violet as the primary
colors, but subsequent experiments by
]. Clerk Maxwell appear to show that
they should be red, green and blue
Sir William Abney, however, says red,
green and violet Any two colors
which together produce a white or
gray light are Complementary colors.--
