caused HE Awiiiian Teii'' overture
be played In part and the result wal
a perfect transmission.
Mr.. Nicolson Their made slightly dif-'
ferent experiment. He sent an assistant
out of the room with one of his Rochelle
salt telephones, and had him talk and
whistle into 1t. The audience received
the sound this time not through the ear
receivers, but through a large receiver
containing salt crystals which gave the
tones sufficient volume to be heard
throughout the hall.
Another demonstration was given by
placing the transmitter on the top of q
piano in an outer room. The doors were
closed so that no sound could be re-
ceived by the ordinary use Of senses, and
again the playing of the piano was heard
with the sole assistance of the Rochelle
salt currents
Mr.. Nicolson referred in his discourse
to the electrical manifest OF various min
erals and traced the discovery back zoo
years to the time when cutters OF
precious stones In Ceylon discovered such
qualities In tourmaline.
He said that experimental work is be-.
ing carried on with many other mineral
substances for the purpose of getting
the same results. The Rochelle salt bat
terry Is a simple continuance, and con-
tains nothing but the crystal. which
needs only a slight shaking or agitation
to create a strong electric force. This
force can be created into a useful cur
rent by applying the we'll known prln-
cfples of electrical science ~

A remarkable discovery was described

THAT PIANO FACTORY
Several Available Sites Suggested
for the Proposed Industry

The letter in Thursdays Caledo-
Man relative to the possibility of get
ting piano action factory in St
Johnsbury has set a lot of people to
thinking of what a new industry
would mean to st. Johnsbury. The
Commercial Club have started cor
respondence with the parties and
called their attention to the desir-
ability of st. Johnsbury as a manu-
featuring center and its excellent
shipping facilities. AS soon as re-
ply is received to their letter the di-
rectors will meet to take such action
as may be deemed desirable.
Among the available sites for such
a factory are the unoccupied factori-
es belonging to o. V. Hooker G.
Son, the land beyond the Follensby
Mill and some property adjacent to
the B. & M. tracks below the rail-
road station.

Editor of Evening Caledonian:
Dear Sir:
Some days since reference was
made in the columns of your valuable
paper to the laws which have recent
ly been enacted governing the oper-
alton of automobiles in the state OF
Vermont.
Acting upon the suggestion con-
veyed, the writer sent to the Sccrc-
tary of State and obtained copy
of the laws as compiled by Mr..
Black.
Certain sections of these laws
make very interesting reading.
l would like to call the attention
of the citizens of st. Johnsbury to
Sec. 4709, which reads as follows
can automobile or motor vehicle
while in use or at rest on public
highway shall be provided with an
adequate brake, muffler, and suit
able bell or horn or other means of
signalling; and the person in control
or charge of such automobile or mo-
tor vehicle shall, in going around a
curve in a highway, OF on approach
ing an intersection of the same, sig
nal with such bell or horn"
Driving yesterday on the road
from st. Johnsbury to the Center
and return, the writer met at least a
round dozen of automobiles, driven
much faster than twenty miles an
hour, and in no single case was a
horn sounded, or any signal given on
approaching a curve,-and we all
know there are several dangerous
curves on that section of highway.
All this in strict violation of the
laws of the state.
The new laws are very drastic and

WAR SAVINGS
WORKERS MEET
AT ST. JOHNSBURY
A Strong Address Given by
Mrs. Myra B. Lord of
Boston


st. Johnsbury House Thursday in the
interests of the national movement
that many women are interested in to
promote the sale of War Savings
Stamps and also to teach young and
old the practice of thrift. Those at
tended came from different towns in
the three counties of Caledonia, Es-
sex and Orleans and incluued county
and town chairmen of the War Saw
ings organizations, presidents of
Woman's Clubs and officers of fra
ternal organizations.
I Luncheon was served at the St.
Johnsbury House after which the
ladies met for the afternoon session
and listened to most helpful ad-
dress by Mrs. Myra b. Lord of Bos-
ton, field secretary of the womens
organization for the first Federal Re-
serve district, which includes all the
New England states.
Zone splendid thing that came out
of the war was that people learned
they could save" said Mrs. Lord.
During the war the women never
hesitated atanything. Theydid every
thing the government asked them to
do. Because this spirit of service was
/ such valuable asset to the world
the government felt that if it could
get the women lined up behind this
thrift movement it would be the big
gest possible factor for its success"
Mrs. Lord believes that next to the
schools the women's clubs are the
best means of getting the thrift
movement before the people and she
asks that in every womans organiza
ton thrift chairman be appointed.
The movement is already organized
nationally. The duty of the. thrift
chairman will be to see that her or
ganization is 100 per cent thrift Each
member of the club or other organi-
cation will be asked to sign a personal
agreement plan indicating that she
thinks War Savings Stamps a safe in
vestment and promising to save re-
gularly in order to buy them. ave
should be thrifty now for the benefit
to ourselves" said Mrs. Lord. "Dur-
ing the war we did it to help the gov
ernment. Now we should do it, first,
for the individual; second, for the
sake of the committee; and third, for
the sake of the nation"
Mrs. Lord said: eve ask that %
when you get your money you put
aside certain portion before spend
ing at all; (2) that you invest wise
ly, in something that pays a reason
able rate of interest and that you
will not have to worry about; (3)
that you spend the rest wisely; and
(4) that, having bought wisely, you
use what you buy with as much care
as if it were money itself"
Thrifty people are desirable citizens
and the main idea is to make a thrifty
nation by educating the people to be
thrifty. The purchase of Thrift
Stamps is an easy way to save small
sums. 1t keeps the pennies, nicKels
and dimes from being wasted. The
organization for War Savings educa-
ton, however, does not say that the
purchase of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps is the only sort of invest
ment.
"Put your money in the savings
banks or make any investment your
banker recommends so long as you
are sure it is a safe investment" The
present campaign involves no drives
or quotas and the personal agreement
