FINE MOTOR AMBULANCE
Has Been Added to the Equipment of
B. w. Hooker & Co.

The latest thing in motorized equip.
ment received in Barre is the new motor
ambulance and funeral ear combination
purchased by b. w. Hooker Co. and
already put into service to attend 10 the
firms local and long distance business.
The car adds greatly TO the facilities Of
the company for handling funeral cases
and ambulance calls.
The car has no doubt been seen by
many people Of this city and surround
ing towns already. To thuse who have
not seen the car it is necessary to state
at the outset that the color is a beat1ti-
full silver gray and the lines OF the We
hicle conform as nearly as possible to
the most approved type of the best mo.
cor vehicles of the tourist pattern. Those
features would Immediately be followed
in the observers mind by the thought Of
the apparent righteousness OF the car
and its fittings; and that impression
would be borne out by an inspection of
the interior.
The main compartment, having a
length of seven feet, seven inches, a
height of 60 inches and width of as
inches, is lined with mahogany, has
draped hearse curtains which can be
raised or lowered by draw strings, or a
set of plain ambulance curtains which
can be used in place of the hearse cur
tains 1t also has pair of quilted pads
covering the sides of the car for protec.
ton when used as a chair wagon. There
are pair of flower racks, on the sides
of the interior, but these can be removed
if desired.
Inside the back compartment is a COM
bination stretcher and bed, so contrived
that the head may be raised and the foot
| lowered TO suit the sitting posture. This
combination stretcher and bed is on rub.

Washington, July 22.-In the hear

recently conducted by immigration
Committee Of the House, an American
missionary said that the ~so-called
"picture bride" system, whereby a

selects a bride in his native land by
means of a photograph, and also i'd
entities her with it when she arrives
in America to become his wife, was
very satisfactory.
"Would you recommend its adop-

profitable.

London, June 30.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)-Recent in
creases in wages of British workmen
have been the subject of very serious
debate by economists, employers and
others as one of the bedrock problems
Of reconstruction, in the sense that
the nation may stand or fall by it.
Some say the question which con-
fronts British industry Is whether the
pendulum Of wages msV not swing
so high that production for competi-
ton with rival nations Will become
unppofitable and then Impossible.
Higher wages for all" is the de-
!mand of the organized and morgan
lied workers. Without it the cry for

living, freedom to meet the employer
on a plane o. susinsss equality, az
two business men meeting together"
"Nore concentrated work, more in
telngent work and We will try to meet
you," is the response from many N
ployers.
The question has been seriously
raised here whether England in the
past has owned her prominence in
the worlds industrial markets to I'M
derpaid British labor. That view was
expressed by Frank VANDERBILT, New
York banker, when he returned to
America a few weeks ago after spend
ing several months in Europe.
There are shrewd business men who
contend that British labor has not
been cheap, but considered solely as
an item in the cost of production has
been relatively costly when compared
with the labor of the United States.
The topic came forward at a recent
informal gathering in London of
american and British captains of in
dustry. Some were men who command
great enterprises, who think in terms
of millions of pounds and brigades
of workmen. Their talk dealt with the
iron and steel productions, shipbuild-
ing, the various industries and manu-
fractures Of machinery, motors, sew
ing machines and the like.
The concensus Of opinion among
them seemed to be that the average
