RAINS CAUSE MUCH
FLOOD DAMAGE

The most violent rainstorm in years
visited Addison county Wednesday
night and in some parts of the county
amounted to a cloudburst. AS a re-
suit Otter creek is running bank-full
and is as high today as at any time
during the spring freshets Middlebury
river is also out of banks and this
morning the water was within an inch
of the bridge at East Middlebury.
The storm extended back into the
mountain towns, washing out the roads
and flooding the low lands. The New
Haven river is very high and the road
near the Nash bridge is under water
and impossible Teams and autos
coming from Bristol and New Haven
have to make a detour of several miles
to reach Middlebury.

A BRISTOL GIRL
IN GRAND OPERA

Friends of Miss Roa Eaton, formerly
OF Bristol and well known in Burling-
ton, will be interested to learn that she
Is to make her debut in America with
the Metropolitan Opera company just
before the holidays, Miss Eaton was
born in Bristol and spent most OF her
childhood there, Her father was Calvin
Eaton of that town and her mother was
Miss Emma Jane Bissonette OF Hines
burg
Those who have heard Miss Eaton in
grand opera in Naples, where she be-
came really great Gilda, under the
guidance of Carlo Sebastiani, have pre-
dicted great future for her in America,
and the range, quality OF power OF her
voice are said to warrant their belief
that she is one of the genuine "hnds'
OF the decade, Her richly endowed
talent has range of three perfect oc'
taves, and degree Of uniform and sus-
tanned strength in the highest as well
as the lowest reaches, which marks II
as an unusual and even phenomenal
soprano,
Miss Eaton got her early education in
Bristol and while in her early teens
moved to Chicago, where her talent was
discovered. 1t was there that she quail
fed as a pupil in the Armour Institute,
OF which the famous. DR., Frank Gun
saulue was then the director, While
there she won the Armour scholarship
in the Chicago College of Music, Of
which the celebrated DR.. Zeigfeld was
head. Proficiency in all branches OF
scholarship as well as in music was re-
quired for the winning OF this scholar
ship.
Miss Eaton was now we'll launched
upon a musical career, After complet-
ing her studies under DR., Zeigfeld, by
whom she was considered a prize pupil,
and other American masters, she went
directly to Naples, where she quickly
won a foremost place among the best
pupils of the famous Maestro Carlo
Sebastiani
Her debut as Gilda in the Neapoltan
Opera House created something OF
sensation and the ease and sustained
clarity of her high F, the unwavering
strength of her voice in altitude as in
depth, became the wonder and admira-
ton of the critics and the public, all
OF whom predicted for her great future
on the grand opera stage, The opening
of the war only hastened her determi-
nation to return to her native land for
as she said, Like everyb,~St else dofe
now, | always realized that no celebrity
is worthy of the name and the reward
who has not won his or her place high
an the esteem of the public of America,
War or no war, this will be their Mecca,
and we American singers will be glad
and proud if we can hold our own
among the wonderful voices that other
countries have sent and will send US to
try for the biggest honor of allan
American success"
Miss Eaton is daughter Of Vermont
OF whom the State may well be proud

The home of the late Gov, John W,
Stewart at the corner OF High and
Elm streets, was entered by burglars
some time last week, the exact time
not being known Entrance was gained
through a cellar window and several
articles OF silver were taken, but the
extent Of the robbery is not known at
present as a full inventory of the be-
longings has not been made,
The party who made the break evil
IDENTIFY spent some time as cigarette
stubs were found on the flor and
crackers and other articles Of food were
left. The thief ransacked the whole
house, strewing the contents of the
dressers and closets about the floors.
The house which is now owned by
Mrs. Charles Swift of Crosse Point,
Ferrisburg, has been unoccupied for
some time The break was discovered
by George Stewart, relative, who
went to the house for the purpose of
getting some books.

WORK ON HOSPITAL
WILL Be DEFERRED

The Register is authorized by John
L, Weeks, who is a trustee OF the Col
lege, to announce that William ii. Por-
ter's plans to commence construction
of the Porter Hospital for Addison
County here this fall have been defer
red at the request OF the Federal au-
thorities The plans, which were de-
scribed fully in The Register recently,
will probably stand in about the same
shape as presented, and it is expected
that whenever the ban on building
operations is lifted by the Government
authorities the construction will be
begun and hastened to completion, as
Mr., Porter is so anxious it should be,
1t seems probable that conditions will
be such that work can begin in the
spring,

DIR. EDDY ISSUES
PUBLIC WARNING

Notwithstanding the fact that the
order OF the State and Local Health
Boards for the closing OF public places
will be removed by these authorities
after Saturday Nov 2 caution is yet
necessary to prevent the spread OF in
iluenza and very probably will be for
some time to come, Toward that end Il
Is TO be recommended and urged,
That all persons should avoid crowds
except as necessary
That every person having influenza
be strictly isolated and as far as pos
sible separated from other members OF
his household and remain so until pro-
nounced by his physician fit to go
about
That every cold" be treated serious
ly until at least it has been determined
that it is not the beginning of influenza
or a mild case capable OF injecting an
other person in whom the disease might
be serious,
That persons who are coughing and
sneezng should not be in public places,
and II to cough or sneeze is Unavoidable
the nose and mouth should be covered
with the handkerchief
That in these matters people adopt
a spirit OF unselfishness and have in
mind the health and welfare Of other
people,
Influenza and true grip are the same
disease

FIRE SCARE ON
WEYBRIDGE FARM

A narrow escape from a disastrous
fire was had on the farm of John James,
little south of Weybridge Monument,
Wednesday evening at about $50 when
his big stock barn caught fire from the
exhaust pipe Of gasoline engine. The
engine was one used to run the milking
machine. The blaze was discovered just
in the nick of time to check, but not
without the help Of many neighbors
and large quantity of water While
the loss is slight, it would have been
about $4,000 if the barn had gone, and
possibly more as the barn sheltered
80 head Of cattle, eight horses, and was
connected with the grainary where
hundreds of bushels of wheat were stor-
ed
