The Highway Brigand.

The highway of automobile brigand-
age was reached in st. Johnsbury last
night when an automobiles incensed at
the fact that he did not have all the
roadway from Danyille into town leaped
from the running board of his car and
grasped by the throat the driver of the
ear whom he believed had taken too
much Of the road The driver Of this car
lost control Of his machine and it
smashed into pole -Four persons were
in the car and by a miracle only one was
injured and not seriously.
When a person using the highways
that are owned and paid for by the pub
lie at large, reaches such state of men
tai responsibility as to leap onto a
moving car to chastise another driver for
any reason whatsoever, ii is time the
highways were cleaned up Of such char
acters.
The life and limb Of automobilists, to
say nothing OF pedestrians, is in jeopardy
every minute that such maniacs are at
large The man, and witnesses Of the
accident say he was fully rs years old
should be placed behind prison bars if
there is tact and authority enough in the
state of Vermont to capture such a viii
liam.
There can be no halfway work or
intolerance of such actions upon our
highways especially when this happens
upon one of the main streets of our town,
We sincerely hope the police force will
leave no stone unturned to identify this
car and arrest the man who took all law
and order into his hands and placed the
lives of four ST. Johnsbury people in
jeopardy. Johnsbury Caledonian.

The passage of the Panama canal by
the new Pacific feet answers a question
that lurked in the head of good many
people throughout the world, and popped
up once in while in an approving dis
quoting sort of way. You will remem-
Der that there was not a word about
the canal during the war. just before
the war, there were damaging slides, and
General Goethals stalking his profession
al reputation, gave us the assurance that
he could clear away the dump and make
that canal navigable. Then the war
came, and threw a veil of utter secrecy
over the canal Who could help wonder
ing whether or not the great waterway
was working?
Well, there was always one answer to
the question, and we accepted it and
made the most of it. General Cocktails
didn't remain in the canal zone. He had
important war work. That was as
surfing. The assumption was that he
had finished his job at the isthmus. just
the same, one would have liked to hear
about ships passing to and fro between
the oceans.
Now the most powerful American fleet
that ever was assembled in the western
ocean has passed through the canal and
any lingering skepticism or uncertainty
vanishes. The canal is at work. There
may be more trouble-it will be observed
that the dreadnaughts passed Culebra
cut slowly, lest their suction develop
slides. But it is pretty safe to guess
that the worst is over, and that if these
fighting leviathans can make the pas
sage the canal is a going concern, depend
able in peace or war
1t is good to know it. We don't ex-
pect any more war right away, neverthe-
less, it is fine to know that our growing
fleet can be safely divided and scat
tered, and yet swiftly assembled, by
means Of this ten hour short cut between
the oceans-Mancheste Union.

A Service Not to Be Ignored.

1t ought to be obvious, that the avia-
ton service, both as to its personnel
and the apparatus employed, is one of
the most highly technical of scientific
occupations and calls for a control and
supervision both competent and enlight-
ened. To look for such competent and
enlightened control from the postoffice
department under its present manage
ment would be futile. What is wanted is
national department of aviation, I'M
der skilled direction and capable of ex-
ercising a control that would safeguard
the men employed in every government
activity involving aviation, insure the
encouragement of invention and utilize
the very best and latest appliances that
make for efficiency and safety. This ma
ton cannot afford to slip backward in
this most modern of arts, and above all
things it cannot afford to intrust the
control of aerial activities to ignorant

WILD FRUITS OF CENTRAL VT.
Strawberries, Raspberries, Currants,
Blackberries and Several More.

The first wild fruit of the season in
central Vermont is the strawberry. OF
the several varieties which are found
growing wild the common field straw
berry is the most plentiful While this
strawberry seldom grows to large size,
it is most delicious fruit. 1t ripens
during the last days of June and the
first days of July.
During these days the strawberry
shortcake holds the place of honor on
every table. Layers of this dainty fruit
between layers Of pastry which will
melt in ones mouth make dish which
will satisfy the most sensitive palate.
During strawberry season the stained
fingers and lips of the children are wit
nesses of the rich redness of this wild
berry, and even the white cows come
stringing to the barnyard bearing great
blotehes of red upon their TANKS, because
they have been lying upon the ripe
Strawberries.
Three kinds of wild raspberries are
found. The wild red raspberry is most
abundant on the hills and mountains. 1t
ripens in July; first on the lower hills,
hiSAiti up vi
The wild raspberry is usually smaller
than the cultivated species, though its
flavor is often superior
The blaen raspberry does not fall so
readily from the bush when ripe as the
red raspberry, and is firmer and more
suitable for marketing and for canning.
Large quantities of this berry are gath
cred every year and put up" for winter
use.
The wild red eurrant and the wild
black currant are also found growing
wild upon the mountains, The taste of
these wild species of currants is not so
agreeable as the cultivated species. The
red eurrant bush resembles the cultivated
species and is a pretty sight when load
ed with the ripe fruit. The fruit of
neither of the wild species is largely
used
The fruit of the wild gooseberry bush
is small The bush is very priekly, the
priekles even growing upon the berries
themselves. The fruit is practically
worthless.

being found even on the highest noun

est wild berry that grows in central
Vermont. In August of every year largo
quantities of fine berries are canned for
winter use. A yellowish white variety
of this berry is sometimes found, and
as much of contradiction as the term
may seem, visitors are sometimes served
dessert of white blackbeTries.
Many other wild fruits of lesser value
and Importance are found. Among these
are the high and the low cranberry, the
checkerberry, the wortle- berry and the
wild grape.
The choke cherry grows abundantly
along roadsides, In August the rich
purple fruit of this shrub presents
most beautiful sight--this fruit, while
little esteemed by man, is readily eaten
by birds of all kinds.
The soil of Vermont is suitable for
raising small fruit, such as the straw
berry, the raspberry and the blackberry.
That there has been given so little at
tention to the raising of these fruits in
the state is, no doubt, due to the fact
that they grow wild in such abundance.
