LIEUT.-COL. PRATT ACCEPTS
Becomes Head Of Red Cross in State.
Membership Nearly $4,000.

Lieut.-Col. Harry c.. Pratt of Proctor,
who was elected at the monthly meeting
of the Vermont Chapter of the American
Red Cross Sept. Is to fill the posi-
ton of chairman of the executive COM
mittee. to succeed Redfeld Proctor,
resigned. has accepted the responsibility
placed upon him and will devote a large
part of his time to the Red Cross work.
He was In the city Thursday in conference
with the state secretary, Harry s.
Howard, at the State headquarters.
Word has been received at the State
headquarters of the Red Cross from Field
Director Killing Of the war fund, who was
in the city Sept. Is to audit the ac-
counts Of the Vermont chapter. that these
accounts should be closed up as early as
possible and that the complete report for
the State Of Vermont should be ready by
October Is. at the latest. Secretary Howard
Is anxious that the variou branches In
the State should note this and submit
their reports to State headquarters at
their very earliest convenience.
Figures recently tabulated, covering the
complete report Of State membership up
to September /. show that the record
figure OF 1870 members has been reached,
OF this number. 1855 are annual men,
bers; 2.115 subscribing members: 17s con-
tributing members: % sustaining men,
bers; 60 life members; n three patron
members. This report shows a very
gratifying increase in Red Cross member
ship In Vermont during the two months
previous to September l. The membership
on July l, 1917. was only TO- IA. The special
membership campaign which was con.
Quoted during the summer brought in
3O.4A new members. This result is con-
sidered very good for that length Of time
In a State the size of Vermont.

NO. WHITE BREAD.
Two Burlington Hotels to Omit 1t Two
Days a Week.

DuSS u week.
Thu Hotels Vermont and Van Ness will
observe two no-white bread days a week
in the future. said the manager last night.
The days when Mr.. Whelan will do his
Bit at these hostelries to assist Mr..
Hoover In conserving the country's wheat
supply are Wednesday and Thursday. A
beefless day also may become a reality
In the near future. and IL the price of this
food continues to soar 1t may rave to be
eliminated from the tables altogether.
This innovation goes into effect in com.
pliance with a request from the food ad-
ministrator of the New England States
that the people Of these States refrain
from eating white bread on two days
a week.
At the request of the New England
rood administrator. Max L.. Powell, mem
Der OF the hotel committee on food con-
servation In hotels and restaurants, will
write every boniface and restaurant
proprietor In the State. requesting these
proprietors to see that Wednesday and
thursday OF each week be observed as
wheatless days. As the object is the saw
ing of flour. it is presumed that all will
willingly fall into line. No hardship will
be noticeable. as there are plenty of sub
stitutes that will readily take the place of
wheat.
II II should happen that any hotel keeper
does not receive a notice to the above
enect' 1t Is hoped by Mr.. Powell that the
reaoing or this article will have the de-
sired effect.

GO TO COLLEGE.
Students Of Lower Classes Advised
Against Enlistment.

Against Enlistment.
Acting President Perkins of the Univer-
sity of Vermont is sending out the fol-
lowing communication to the UNDER
graduates of the College of Arts and
Sciences:
There are certain general facts which
should be carefully considered by every
young man and woman who is debating
the question of going to college this
year.
The war needs trained men and women
for military and relief work There will
be increasing difficulty as the war goes
on, in finding the trained workers need
ed and those who have invested in part
or whole of a college course are sure
to find places of leadership and serv-
ice waiting for them after their studies
are finished. This will be true especial
ly of those who a attended a college
where they a had military training.
Urgent as are present needs, the future
Is to be far more urgent. After the war
the world. much of it. must be recon-
structed INC this rebuilding on a gigan-
tic scale must, II successful. be car
ried on by young people who are now in
preparation. In some cases there may
be an apparent saving in keeping stu
dents from college now In order that
tiiSs may III III CNOAS " ntiC
or office, but his really robs the coun-
try of skilled labor. Statistics showing
the earning power of educated and I'M
educated men in all pursuits show that
in forty working years the uneducated
man earns SIS. 900 while the educated man
earns $4,000. THAT is a difference of
s22,0 DOC in favor of education. or $40 a day
for each day from the primary school
up"
The war department urges the colleges
to advise the students Of the lower classes
against enlistment as II they continue
their studies they will be of greater
value to the nation by and by than II
they stop now. 1t may well be hat your
most patriotic duty is to fit yourself in
every possible way for the work sure
to come in the immediate future. If it is
your chief duty to get al education. don't
be a gutter.

LAUNDRYMAN FINED.
Pleads Guilty to Violating Ordinan
by USING Soft Con1.

Earl M. Bullock was fined SO and costs
Of 0.3S In city court Saturday morning
by Judge Joseph T. Stearns on his plea
Of guilty to q violation Of the city ord
nance in regard to the soft coal nuisance.
Mr.. Bullock was arraigned In court. He
had a. counsel Theodore e.. Hopkins.
Mr.. Bullock. who Is n Of the pro
prietors Of the Standard Steam laun-
dry on Cherry street, was hailed into
court on account Of numerous complaints
from people resident in the vicinity Of
the laundry which tended to show that
they had been long-suffering from the
effects Of soft Goa smoke. Many of
these compliments were present at the
time Of the hearing. The first Of last
week Q large contingent of men and
women from the vicinage of Winooski
avenue were scurrying around after city
officials, to see II something could not
be done to abate the trouble.
Mr.. Bullock was in court some time
ago., but his case was continued to see
II something could not be done to remedy
the matter. It vas thought by some
that II the fires Of the laundry were
started with hard coal a remedy would
be found, while others believed that the
installation Of apparatus would put a
damper on the smoke, at that time.
II the respondent cannot find a way
to wipe out the soft coal nuisance with
out injuring his business. he can take
the case to the chancery court to dis
cover the equity Of the case.
