draught of satisfaction from the fact
that twenty cities of Massachusetts
voted for license. This probably IS
more satisfaction than the cities them
selves will get out of their vote.

Flat street is probably developing
more rapidly than any other thorough
fare in Brattleboro s business district.
Only few years ago it was n sort of a
slough hole whose entrance was marked
by a livery stable of venerable age;
now it joins Main street at the corner
of the largest business block in town,
has paved surface for a considerable
portion of its length and is steadily ae-
cumulating new and substantial bus
mess property. The Latchis theatre
building and the Shea garage, both in
process of construction, are the latest
Flat street developments and give
promise of being worthy additions to
| the towns real estate. With the cree
ton of such buildings as these the old
| wooden structures that still remain on
/ Flat street become more conspicuous
as fire hazards. and it is to be hoped
that the time is not far distant when
they will give place to something more
substantial and less dangerous. A
/ building like that of the Cutler Co., for
example, must be a considerable fac
tor in preventing adjoining property
from getting the fire insurance rate it
deserves.
1t may be worthy of note that the
trustees of the village of Bennington
recently have accepted proposition of
pany to install new system of street
lighting, their action conforming to the
! vote taken at special village meet
ing held not long ago The new system
Will increase Bennington S lighting cost

that the improvement in illumination
Brattleboro turned down a proposition
from the Twin State company few
years ago, and has been continuing
since that time with lighting system,
that doesn' begin to meet the needs of
the business district. Perhaps If it had
another opportunity the village might
decide to change its mind.
}, An advertisement of the board OF
trade for rooms, presumably for persons
coming to Brattleboro for employment
calls attention to the steadily increas
!, ing demand and rapidly decreasing
supply of Accommodations of this sort
Recent reference to q list compiled
within a comparatively short time
showed that practically all of them had
been taken since the list was made, and
the continuous inquiry for rooming and
lodging Accommodations proves beyond
question that Brattleboro not only has
: increased considerably in population
during the past few months but is con
tinuing its growth. That the town car
utilize great many more workers is
| indicated by the demand for more helr
on the part of practically every local
industry. Just at present the need OF
a boarding and rooming house fol
young women workers is said to be par
tieularly insistent

KIWAMS

By Eltinge Elmore, Milwaukee
 Kiwanis stands for more than clearing house for shoes and stockings, hats and coats, drugs and coal, powder and puffs;. it stands for more than mere pounds, shillings and pence; these things may be the fringe of that wonderful fabric of life which the Kiwanis shuttle is weaving for us, but the main body of the pattern must be made out of the warm, rich and lasting colors and materials of which brother1y love, unselfshness, high ideals, noble resolves, civic pride, love of country are composed.
 Through the warp and wool of the pat tern there ought to run a golden thread of love for the other fellow, and ever in our hearts and minds there must be at work a warm, pulsing desire and purpose to make life a little easier and pleas anter for someone, to do something help ful and valuable for our community, our nation and the world.
 We all admire those men and women who have given of their time, thought, strength and wealth in generous and un- stinted measure. In our heart of hearts we know that they are the salt of the earth, and the saving remnant in selfish old world. James T. Field once said that there ''are men of conviction whose faces light up an era and there are wom- en in whose eyes one may almost read the whole plan of salvation they have developed body, soul and mind; they have been leaders,"
 In his inimitable way Mir Dooley has given us many bits of wisdom and philos- ophy, and in one of his talks with MT. Hinnessy he discoursed at some length on some of the wonders of modern engineer ing. He talked of the wonderful sus- pension bridges that span the East river, ftr1&a NI4. AHA river that, like the arms of giant oc- topus, have laid hold upon two states and held them with mighty grip; and then he spoke of the skyscrapers. and wondered if the limit had been reached in the Woolworth building; and then he said in a ruminating sort of way Well. Hinnessy, thim skyscrapin' buildings is all right, I suppose, but what want to see in this land of liberty is the building up of more "skyscrapin' min.," A great thought, is it not? And these "skyscrap- ing men have always been simple, ap- proachable, kindly natured, with hearts tenderly alive to the calls for help from their weaker brethren. They have been men who worshipped noble deeds, sacred places, the poetry of history. Wendell Phillips once said, Give me a people keenly and freshly alive to such influ- ences and I will laugh at money rings or demagogues armed with sensual temp tations.'' Some of Channing's Symphony of Life' passed me the trip, and caught part of it:
 To live content with small means.
 To be worthy, not simply respectable.
 To study hard, think quietly,
 Talk gently, act frankly;
 To listen with open heart to birds and stars,
 To babes and sages.
 To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely; In word, to let the spiritual life

People Who Bother Banks

George A. Leary, in Leslie s.
 When a new account is opened, bank employees usually watch the customer closely for several months. finding out what kind of man he is, whether his checks are large or small, etc. If he stands up well under this inspection, they usually cash his check when presented without looking it up. nuisance is the man who carries a good balance, yet has to be watched on deposits which will be s or s10 less in currency than on his deposit ticket When his attention is called to it he will assume an astonished expression, rub his chin and then ex- claim
 Oh, yes, I remember now, so and so came into my office and I cashed ten- dollar check for him after making out my deposit ticket. Strange forget it.
 Then he will proceed to dig enough up to make the right amount. Next month he will try the same trick But from now on he's a marked man in that bank.
 There are many tricks that the bank teller must be on the watch for we'll dressed stranger stepped up to the pay ing window and handed the teller $20 bill, requesting $1 bills in return. The teller counted out 20 new crisp bills and laid them on the marble slab in front of him. The man picked them up, ran his hand over them, laid them back down and said:
 "I'm afraid they'll be too bulky; please give me the $20 bill back"
 Just a minute.'' replied the teller. 'Tn count them.''
 He did so and found only 19; the man had removed one. although he had had them in his hands only an instant
 Another pest is the visitor who tries to get a check cashed when he knows no one can identify him.
 Then there is the young "swell' who thinks it great to have a bank account He wishes to advertise himself to his friends as a wise young business man. After he accumulates enough money to open checking account at the minimum amount he proceeds to write a lot of checks for small amounts.
 The man who is careless about leaving his book to be balanced is not only caus- ing the bank an inconvenience. but is in- dulging in very poor business policy on his Dart.

EDWARD MacD0WEll'S
DREAM BEING REALIZED

So great has been the success
achieved by Mrs. Edward MacDoW-
ell at her recent appearance before
the Matinee musical club of Philadel-
phia, that an immediate pledge was
made by the president, Mrs. Abbott,
and the club members to subscribe
500 a year toward the support of
the endowment fund of the MacDow-
ell Memorial association. This was
most entirely owing to the fact that
funds are now needed for the addi-
tional outlay necessitated in the pre-
paration of Peterborough as home
for convalescent war sufferers.
Detroit has been most generous as
$500 has been subscribed toward the
endowment fund of the Mcdowell
Memorial association, in memory of
Mrs. S. Olin Johnson, from her
friends in the Tuesday Musicale, fine
arts society, and Society of Arts and
Crafts.
Mrs Edward Mcdowell will ap-
pear for the first time before an AL
buquerque audience on Saturday
night in the Presbyterian church at
o'clock
