ROOSEVELT WEEK

Throughout the nation the observance
of Roosevelt week has begun with the
starting Of fund for memorial beft-
ting his brilliant career and services.
Vermont is asked to make Its share Of
the nations contribution generous as well
as noteworthy and commendable.
William Boyce Thompson, president Of
the Roosevelt Memorial association. says:
1.-THE Roosevelt Memorial association
believes that Americans desire to see two
forms of memorials for their dead lead
er. The first of these forms is one that
shall be immediate and that shall enable
all Americans to subscribe to and up
hold the staunch Americanism of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The concrete expression
of this memorial will be a series of meet
ings held in every city and town OF the
United States on Roosevelt's birthday,
October n.
I'm addition to these memorial meet
ings, which will be tribute to the genius
and patriotic service Of Theodore Roose-
Welt, there will be permanent memorials
that will convey to present and future
generations the character and principles
of Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is for the es-
tablishment Of these permanent memori-
ais that the people Of the United States
will be asked during the week of October
2O-27 to make contributions to the me-
mortal fund of the Roosevelt Memorial as
ISOLATION.
every person who gives to this fund
during that week will become per-
manent member Of the Roosevelt Me-
mortal association"

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

Attention is called to the fact that Ver-
mont and Connecticut are now the only
New England States where there is doubt
as to the outcome of the national suffrage
amendment. There is little doubt that
Maine and Rhode Island will rat.fy the
amendment New Hampshire and Mass
achusetts have already ratified. A depu-
tation OF Connecticut senators and repre-
sentatives called upon Gov. Marcus II.
Holcomb and urged that he call a special
session TO ratify the federal suffrage
amendment, both republicans and demo-
Gratis being represented. Following this
deputation of makers, a group OF
prominent republican men from all parts
of the State formed second deputatlon
received by the Governor that morning
on behalf Of special session.
The legislative petition shows that the
passage of the amendment In Connecti-
cut 10 merely matter Of form. for the
signatures represented more than a ma
jority In either house. It is reasonable to
suppose that the percentages in both
houses will be increased as a majority
Of the legislators feel favorably toward
the amendment II not toward a special
session. Judge L. w. Cleveland, spokes-
man for the republican demonstration.
called the Governors attention particu-
larry to the strong pro-suffrage stand Of
tho republican party and it's desire for
the speedy ratification Of the amendment.
This overwhelming sentiment for suf-
frage In Connecticut gives promise OF
lifting that State out Of the ranks of
the doubtfuls and leaving only Vermont
unrepresented. However, we believe rati-
fcation Ia progressing 80 1t will not he
necessary for Vermont to undergo the ex-
pense of an extra session of our Legisla-
ture.

Representatives to BE Appointed in
Towns Through which II Passes

Max L. Powell, State president of the

approved of his idea to appoint three

tives will be appointed in the near future
and the question of financing the project

NEW EXPRESS RULES
Additional Safeguards for Carrying
Merchandise Go into Effect Dec, 10


New express packing rules. similar to
those required for freight movement on
the railroads. will go into effect on
December 10, and express shippers are
requested to prepare themselves for the
new standards. The new packing require
ments. which were recently approved by
the United States railroad administration,
were formulated to provide additional
safeguards for merchandise sent by ex-
press. Heretofore shippers. have been us
ing all sorts of containers for ex-

| methods and to turn their business over
to the carrier substantially packed and
clearly marked. so that, with reasonable
care on the part Of expressmen, all traffic
can be handled rapidly and with fewer
| chances Of loss or damage in transit.
/ The rules, recently promulgated. will
not permit the use of paper wrapping for
packages over % pounds. nor of ordinary
paper boxes, wrapped or unwrapped,
when the weight of the package is over
That limit. For shipments over 20 pounds,

npreooard, cupboard or corrugated
strawboard material are required. The
cartons must be made of materials Of
specified test strengths" similar to those

the containers must bear the stamp OF

material used is of strength required for
