PROFIT SHARING IN FRANCE
Idea Is More Widely Held In That Country Than Any Other Part
 of the World.

Profit sharing Is being widely dis cusSed in England now, in connection with the nations war activities, and much consideration Is being directed to experience in France, where it has been in operation for 70 years. There Is in France q society organized for the purpose of promoting profit shar- ing, and thIS society has been recog- nized by the government as public utility"
 In the French prutt-Sharlng plans generally benefit funds are instituted to provide for emergencies ln the life of the workers. Ordinarily wOrkmen do not receive their share of the profit in cash, but in the form of fund, which goes to purchasing shares In the business or to Old-age pensions.
 There are various systems of profit sharing in vogue in France. One of these gives a percentage of the net profits over the wages, the manage ment, and the various benefit funds. Another bases the percentage on sales or total business done. Still other forms base the amount given the work CTS on the dividend rate, the amount of capital, or as u bonus at the dls- cretion of the employer. Certain com panles are able to share with their workers any savings they may make in the cost of producing goods.

Airplane Flares.

The announcement was recently made by Maj. Gen. c. c. Williams, chief of ordnance, of the perfection and the adoption by the army for use in France of an airplane flare for night bombing. According to Major General Williams, the flare Is released from bombing plane by pulling lev CT. As it drops the resistance offered by the air sets the fuse mechanism In operation. The result is the emission of q powerful light of from 100000 to 100000 candle power, which completely Eliminates the terrain below. The amount of light given Is equivalent to that of a battery of from 150 to IFS street arc lamps or from 15,000 to IT, 500 ordinary lucandescent lamp bulbs such as are used in the home. AS soon as the flare gets into operation huge parachute, made of the best quality silk, opens and holds the brilliant light in suspension in the air for sufficient time to allow the aviator to select his objective or target. The bombs then follow.

MORE STREETS ARE OILED.
Regarded as Best Way to Lay Dust and
Preserve Highways-About 10000
Gallons of Oil Used.

More than the usual number of Brat
tleboro streets have been oiled this sea-
son, and it is coming to be realized that
this is about the only way to lay the
dust without washing away the streets.
In times past certain streets which have
been oiled have been watered by the
street sprinkling cart afterwards, to
their detriment, but the folly of this
practice has been discovered and the
practice abandoned. Occasionally
criticism is made that too much oil is
used, and while the streets may have
that appearance Immediately after the
oil is put on, time proves. that after the
oil has had time to soak into the dirt
the amount used is by no means Excess
sivc. A smaller amount would not ac-
complish the desired end.
1t is believed by those familiar with
road building that if Main street was
rebuilt with q view to wthstanding the
heavy traffic to which present day roads
are subjected and was treated to a
good binder and oiled it would give sat
isfaction, provided the sprinkling carts
were kept off. There is no way of re-
pairing the present surface to give more
than temporary relief from the pockets,
big and little, which abound.
About 10000 gallons of oil were used
in the work of the past few days, and
the work was done by the Standard
Oil Co. at cost of 2 IA cents square
yard. A few short stretches of road
We're oiled at private expense, but the
streets oiled at public expense are as
follows:
Putncy road, from the Wells foun-
| tain to the Dummerston town line.
Linden street, from the junction of
Putney road at the Wells fountain to a
point above Linden Lodge.
Western avenue, from Northern av-
enue to a point west of the watering
trough beyond the creamery bridge.
The whole of Western avenue was treat
ed to n coating of tarvia b, dust lay
er and binder, from the junction of
High and Green streets to the end of the
street ear line in West Brattleboro.
A stretch of the Marlboro road, as
far as there are houses beside the road
Guilford street, from the creamery
bridge TO Elm Corners.
Spruce, Myrtle and Cedar streets, on
the Square.
Elliot street, from School street to
Elliot street bridge.
Canal street, from Birge street to the
Guilford town line.
