Two Ways Of Bringing up Girls.
How would you bring up your
daughter?
Here are the ideas of two different
mothers, quoted from MY Little Sis
ter the famous novel by Elizabeth
Robins. The photoplay version of this
powerful book is coming to the Pas
time theater on Sunday. Evelyn Mes
bit is the star.
What one mother thought:
There are worse than tigers in the
worlds jungle.
The safe course is not to trust
anyone.
aAn you need to know is
the need of taking care-of never run
ming risks.
them know that terrible things can
happen.
You will find your music a very
taking your place in the world
Another mothers theory:
.You cannot expect, you cannot want
to keep your girls at home forever.
"A girls best opportunities for mar
riage come before she is twenty.
In these days of gaiety girls and
American heiresses. the who's ques-
ton of marrying off ones daughters
becomes more difficult.
"One chaperon will do for a dozen
girls.
There are always men in London
when the town is supposed to be
empty. They accept with gratitude an
invitation they wouldn't even trouble
to answer in June. August is the
time"

Vermont Pretends to Be Shocked
Greenfield Recorder.)

To read an account of Greenfield s
last days under license which appeared
in last Fridays issue of the Brattle-
boro Phoenix one might believe that the
streets of this town were so thick with
drunks that it was impossible to get
about. The story is so far from the
truth as to call for an emphatic denial
in the interests of Greenfeld's good
name. The Phoenix takes for its source
of information a former Brattleboro
man now living in Greenfield, who in
formed them that on Saturday, June IS,
he saw more intoxicated men on the
streets than he had ever seen in all of
his residence in Greenfield, extending
over year and a half. The real facts
are that the closing days of license
here were so quiet as to cause general
surprise, and even on the last night
there were very few cases of intoxica-
ton on the streets. Vermont need not
hold up its hands in righteous horror
at the wickedness of Greenfield, for
were it not for Vermont trade the local
liquor business would be much less in
volume and the district court would
have far fewer cases to handle in a
year.

HAY CROP ONLY
ABOUT AVERAGE
May Forecast Was for Bumper Crop, but
Dry Weather Prevented-Corn
and Potatoes Promising.

In spite. of MAY forecasts of bumper
hay crop, farmers in this locality report
only normal crop cut, due to the ex-
treme dry weather in June, but the rain
of last week gave good start to the
second crop in many fields where farmers
had felt a second cutting would be inn
possible because the roots were being
burned by the sun before the grass had
an opportunity to start.
Corn fields are looking much better
than at the same time last year. this con-
dition being brought about by the much
warmer weather, and this product, too,
has taken a decided start since the rain
has reached the roots, and will show
greater growth with the return of warm
DAYS and nights.
The rain was responsible for saving
many bushels of potatoes to the farmers
and gardeners, as the drouth already had
begun to have its effect, leaf wilt due to
lack of moisture having been noticeable
in some fields.

Tenders and Oilers-Ship Owners Will
Not Discuss Closed Shop.

NEW YORK, July l2-Hope that con-
ferences today between representatives of
striking marine 6remen, water tenders
and oilers and members of the United
States shipping board would result IN
settlement and prevent a tie-up of coast
wise traffic was expressed by union lead
ers More than 200 coastwise vessels were
reported tied up in New York harbor
last night.
During yesterday the walkout spread
to vessels of the United Fruit company
and the crew of the Turrialba struck
while work of loading the steamer was
under way The crew of another United
Fruit steamer threatened to join the strik-
ers last night it settlement We're not

Some of the smaller transatlantic freight
lines are also affected and the seamen S
union claims to have received word from
England that American vessels reaching
British ports with non-union crews will
not be mloaded.
A statement issued late yesterday by
union leaders gave a history of negotia-
tions which have been going on for a
month between OfflcefS OF tne American
Steamship association and representatives
of the men. The association offered a 10
per cent increase in wages and this was
rejected The statement adds that nothing
further could be accomplished because OF
the attitude of the shipowners representa-
tiyes, and accordingly a strike vote was
ordered
The position Of the shipowners was
stated by H. II Raymond, president OF
the American Shipowners' association and
of the Clyde and Mallory lines Mr. Ray
mond declared that the policy of closed
shop was un-American and that the ship
owners would not discusss it. He claimed
that only 60 per cent of the men employed
by the coastwise lines were members o.
unions and that closed shops would mea'
discharge of thousands who had been ON
poyed for years v the shipping trm.
Mr. Raymond said that committee ha'
been appointed by the Shipowners' asso
ciation to confer WITH the strikers and wa
ready to take up the questions of wage
and working conditions, but would no
consider the closed shop.

MARCH PASSES THE BUCK.
Will Not Be Responsible for Army Food
Botch.

WASHINGTON, July l2.-Gen. Peyton
c. March. chief Of staff, passed the buck
down yesterday to the qnartermaster's
corps, subsistence division, for failure to
place the army's surplus food stocks on
the market during the six months imme-
diately following the armistlce.
Gen. March was testifying before the
subcommittee on quartermaster's corps of
the war expenditures investigating COM
mittee c. Willing Hare, director of sales
of the munitions bureau, previously had
told the subcommittee that Gen. March,
through failure to set the size of the army
to be retained after peace, had made it
impossible to estimate the amount OF
foodstutfs which could be declared surplus
As it now develops that when the armis-
tce was signed the War Department had
eight months supply for nearly 5,00000(
men, neither Gen. March nor Mr.. Hare
has placed responsibility to the satisfac
tion of the subcommittee.
Don't YOU think, in view of this huge
supply" Chairman Reavis (Neb) asked
Gen. March yesterday, that it would
have been very apparent to the war de
partment that a very large amount of sup
plies would be surplus. since the larges
peace time army the General Staff eve
| considered was 100000 men,
That is partly true replied Gen
| March, and | believe the subsistence di
vision is omen to criticism for this delay
/ But the whole matter of the size of tn,
army was undetermined and general condi
tio0s were uncertain OF course, ther

BRATTLEBORO MAN
BADLY INJURED
George G. LaSares of Bradley Corpora
tion in Farren Hospital as Result
of Auto Accident.

George c. LaSares, inventor of toys
for the G. E. Bradley corporation, was
in an unconscious condition several
hours last evening and received several
cuts and bruises as the result of an au-
tomobile accident about 6 O'Clock on a
curve about mile south of the Ber-
nardston hotel on the Greenfield road
He was taken in an ambulance to the
Farren hospital in Montague about 10
o clock s
Mr.. LaSares, who was alone, was driv-
ing south at rapid rate and was on the
left side of the road. Aonther car COM
ing north on the same side of the road,
also being driven fast, forced Mr.. La
Sares off the road. As he left the road
his ScrippsBooth fve-passenger car
struck telephone pole, breaking it off
and showing the base of the pole over.
The front end of the car was smashed
badly, but the machine did not tip
over. Mr.. LaSares was rendered uncon-
scious and was taken to the home of Ora
Martin, nearly across the road from the
scene of the accident, and Miss Julia
Hale, nurse who lives nearby, gave
first aid, and DR.. W. III. Pierce was
called
Mr.. LaSares received a cut over one
eye, a cut on one cheek and another
| under the chin, all of which required
stitches to close, the bone of one knee
| was laid bare and he complained about
his chest 1t is thought that his chest
| came in contact with the steering gear
| but DIR. Pierce said that unless there
| We're internal injuries he would recover
The ambulance arrived at the Martin
| home about 10 clock, but before he
| left Mr.. LeSares regained consciousness
and said he was hurrying to Springfield
where his wife was i'll in hospital an(
| where his mother also was i'll.

stop and no one knows who he was. Th'
LeSares car was drawn to BernardstoI

ECONOMIC BLOCKADE
LIFTED TODAY
Preparations Underway for
Immediate Resumption
of Trade With Germany
DIRECT STEAMSHIP
LINES TO HAMBURG
Will Be Started as Soon as Cargoes are
Available Germany in Pressing
Need of Raw Materials-Will Pay by
System of Credits.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-With the
economic blockade of Germany to be
lifted today in accordance with the de-
cision of the council of five in Paris,
preparations were underway for the i'm
mediate resumption of trade between
Germany and the United States.
Movements of American goods to
German ports is expected to begin as
soon as licenses can be issued, three
ships already having been loaded. The
shipping board has announced that di-
rect steamship lines to Hamburg will be
established from New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, Baltimore and South At
lantic and gulf ports as eargoes become
available.
Trading in all commodities except
dyestuffs. chemicals and potash. con
troll over which will be exercised by the
reparations commission set up by the
peace treaty, will be unrestricted, it was
said. American firms doing business
with Germany must send their agents
into that country without passports,
however as these cannot be issued until
the proclamation of peace. 1t also was
said at the state department that there
was no certainty when American con,
suls would be sent to Germany.
Payments for the goods which this
country sends to Germany must be
made under a system of credits to be
arranged later through private capital
officials said. Details as to this system
have not been worked out. While Ger
many has large quantities of goods
ready to be exported officials doubted
that there would be any great demand
for them in this country and eonse
quently the trade balances in favor OF
the United States is expected to b.
large.
Germany was said to be in immediate
and pressing need of raw materials o.
almost all kinds, particularly cottor
and copper, in order to rehabilitate he
industries. Large amounts of food hav'
been sent into that country under di
rection of the InterAllied Relief com
mission, but it is believed that the de
mand for grain and other cereals woul,
be great. Clothing of all kinds also i
needed.
In announcing resumption of trad
relations, acting Secretary Polk pointe
| out that the trading with the enem
was not abrogated and that the actio
of the government was not to be cor
strued as meaning that the state of wa
had ceased to exist. The war will be a
an end only with the ratification of til
peace treaty, it was said, and the trad
ing with the enemy act will remain i
force until it is repealed by presider
tial proclamation after the war ends

Commissioners to Ask for
Changes in Some of 4
Bylaws -
WANT NEW RULE AS
TO PARKING CARS
Desirable that Bullock and Whipple
Streets Be Made one-Way Streets Be-
cause of Increasing Danger of Acct
dents Thereon.

Decision has been made by the vii
lase commissioners to have special
village meeting called soon to discuss
changes desired by the commissioners in
some of the village bylaws and to make
the changes if thought advisable, also
to give the commissioners authority to
take certain emergency control over
some of the streets. The various mat
tiers were talked over last night in
meeting of the commissioners.
For some time it has been apparent
that Whipple and Bullock streets, which
connect Green and High streets, ought
to be made one-way streets, that is, that
traffic should be allowed on them going
in one direction only. This is because
those streets are narrow and the con-
stantly increasing use of them increases
the liability of accidents.
1t had been planned to have q petit
| tion brought to the commissioners ask
| ing them to regulate traffic ON the two
| streets in question. making them one
way streets, but there is nothing in the
bylaws giving them authority to make
such regulations.
A change which the commissioners
will ask to have made in the bylaws re-
lates to the parking of automobiles.
The present bylaw. require that cars
on the sidewalks be parked parallel
with the sidewalks. The large increase
| in the number of cars in use makes such
a regulation impractical, and it is not
observed to any great extent. 1t is
the idea of the commissioners that the
bylaws should allow car owners to park
cars diagonally near the curb.

WANTS INQUIRY INTO WHEAT.
Representative Fitzgerald Says the
Price of Bread Must Be Reduced.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Representa-
tive John f. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts,
offered a resolution in the house yesterday
requesting the secretary of agriculture to
make an investigation of the wheat situa-
tion throughout the world, with view OF
determining the probable wheat surplus in
this country and what amount of this sur
plus would be required for export.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that something must
be done to reduce the price of bread tc
the consumers in this country. He be
lieyes that such an investigation would
show that the surplus would be very
large, and that if such is the case the
price of wheat should be reduced to the
miller without delay, so that the breat
prices might be reduced.
