Feminine Topics.

Gardening is a healthfUl occupation
for women and is so closely allied 10
other home industries, especially COOK
ing. home decorations and various handl-
crafts that we ought to consider 1t II
part of a wel-regulated home. 1t Is
a source of fresh vegetables and fruits
in variety and flowers in abundance for
cheerfulness.
A one piece dress with short sleeves
and dutch collar is u comfortable and
becoming garden costume. Good walk
ing shoes and a lightweight hat are
necessary and garden apron of some
black material made with two pockets
saves the dress-skirt and is great con
venience. A rubber apron may be used
also. The hands should be protected
by applying oil, soap, or cold cream be-
fore beginning work and by thorough
" drying them after washing them in
warm water. 1t is said that butter milk
is a good cleanser for the face and will
remove tan. When working with small
tools near the ground kneel on mat
or sit on low foot rest.-SALLI T.

URGENT RED CROSS WORK.

There is plenty of Red Cross work for
the women of this locality. A large num-
Der of layettes and new stock of yarn
for children's mufflers, sweaters and
stockings has just been received at the
Red Cross rooms. This work is designed
to be done in the home during the sum
mer and as vacation work and the
branch has until Sept l to return the
completed garments to division head
quarters in Boston. The Red Cross
rooms are open every Tuesday and Fri
day afternoon from to 5 O'Clock and
materials can be obtained and garments
returned on these days. These layettes
make very attractive work for clubs
and church societies and as the need is
so great as to be almost unbelievable
the local committee hopes for a hearty
response to this call.
BrattleborO women have been among
the most loyal of Red Cross workers in
the state and when they know that 25,.

TEAM WITHOUT LIGHTS.
Collides with Automobile on Western
Avenue and Both Are Damaged-Oth-
er Teams Running Dark.

A team and automobile collided about
$50 p. m. Sunday on Western avenue,
near the home of Mrs. Viola Roberts,
the cause seemingly being the lack of
any light on the team. Willard Rich
ardson was driving alone in his Ford
touring ear towards his home and Mer-
rill Allen, son of John Allen, who is en-
ployed on one of A. B. Clapp's farms,
was driving his own team towards this
village. Mr.. Richardson. who says he
was driving slowly and in consequence
of which probably avoided n serious
accident, did not see the team approach
ing him until he hit it and the lights on
the automobile evidently blinded Mr.
Allen, who jumped from the team as
soon as it was hit. The wagon was bad
ly damaged and the front wheel of the
automobile was broken and the front
of the car was somewhat smashed. The
horse did not attempt to run. After the
accident, people who were sitting OF
their verandas, counted five teams
which passed a certain point, all with
out any lights.

POTATO DISEASE IN COUNTY.
Small Proportion of Fields Free-Vis-
ited by Experts with View to Is
suing Certificates.

County Agent w. p. Frost and two
potato experts from Montpelier returned
last week from a trip about the
county inspecting potato fields with
view to issuing certificates to the own
ers of fields that are free from potato
diseases.
They inspected about 10 fields and
found only four free from disease of
one kind or another. These are about
an acre each in extent. The experts will
make two more visits before issuing GER
tifcates.
Potatoes certified to be free from dis
ease bring fancy prices in the metro
politan markets as seed potatoes, in fact
they bring high prices right here in
Windham county, as the supply of GER
tilted potatoes never equals the demand.
County Agent Frost says there is a
large amount of potato disease in the
county and that it is increasing in ex-
tent every year. The reason for this is
that seed from diseased fields is planted
year after year Not until the growers
secure seed free from disease will they
be able to- eliminate the trouble.

Monday the theft of his Buick four
cylinder automobile from his garage at
Mountain Mills.
On Monday, July IA, Mr.. Demers put

the car or to go near the garage again

screws which held in place the staple to
which the paddock was attached had
been removed and the car stolen.

could Sunday and came here Monday

VITAL STATISTICS WANTED.
Work Done by Late Judge William 8.
Newton over 20 Years Ago Now Re-
quired by Statute.

Brattleboros selectmen and town clerk
are concerned over the question of what
more can be done than already has been
done, in this town, toward complying
with the statute requiring the towns to
furnish the secretary of state with GER
tain records of births, marriages and
deaths.
1t is desired to obtain as nearly com
plete record as possible, and in 1910 the
legislature passed an act requiring town
clerks to transcribe in full on certain
blanks all such records in the possession
of the town and churches, not previously
supplied
None had been sent from Brattleboro
previous to 1853, as the law had not re-
quired them previous to that time 1t
happened, however, that about 1867 the
late Judge William S. Newton, then town
clerk, spent much time going over the
cemeteries throughout the town and copy
| ing the old birth and death records for
preservation He had no object in doing
so except that they might be kept for
reference, the early records in the office
being very meagre, but he showed him
self to be many years in advance of the
state in this respect and at no little ex
pense to himself.
Judge Newton in this way secured l,52l
records not then in the files of the towr
clerks Office, and these, together will
what church records were available were
sent in 1911 by Town Clerk G.. $. Hop
kins to the secretary of state. With the
exception of the tombstone records Their,
was not a single birth or death record il
the town clerks Office for the years 1874
| 1SS- botb inp1uaiva
The Legislature of 1919 enacted n law
similar to that of 1910 but went stcl
further and required that tombstone rec
ords be copied Inasmuch as this worl
already has been done in Brattleboro thu
town officials here do not see the philos
ophy of going over it again. which woulC
only result in expense to the town will
probably no additional records. In fact
probably fewer number would be Sc
cured, as doubtless some of them have
become illegible during the 20 years sine

SUGGESTS LANDING FIELD.
Fred H. Harris Thinks Brattleboro
Should Provide Airplane Station as
Springfield Has Done.

Since Brattleboro is the gateway OF
Vermont as it is approached from the
southeast, would it not be advisable for
Brattleboro to energetically take up the
matter of securing good landing field
for acceptance? / believe it is not too
soon to go into this matter, as pilots
will soon be asking where landings can
be made in Vermont. The question has
already come up in the minds of avn
ators who plan to make flights in Yer
mont. OF course, it is needless to say
aviators will land in town where the
best service win be given them.
am advised by Mr.. James Hartnes'
of Springfield that q good landing field
has already been laid out and marked
at Springfield 1t is to be hoped that
other towns will follow this example
Mr.. Jones, who recently made flight
from New York to Middlebury, Wis
Poughkeepsie and Albany says that the
landing facilities on the west side of the
state are very good. The eastern side
is more rugged. For this reason goot
landing places will offer haven OF
refuge to those who travel by way OF
the air.
/ hope Brattleboro will take the lead
in aeronautical matters in Vermont.
Very respectfully submitted,

Washington Representative.
