men and women were killed with the

Alba has a long line of arrests and

probably knows more about the Next

Microbes In Our Clothes.

Apropos of the liability of demob-
ilized soldiers to contract colds as
soon as they get into "civies" a cor
respondent suggests that probably the
civilian clothes are the cause, wheth-
err they be warmer than the uniforms
or not. Sir Ernest Shackleton had

until a bale Of clothing brought from
England was opened. The next day
there was an epidemic of colds in the
party, and Sir Ernest's explanation
was that the trouble was caused by

1t were, in the closely packed clothing

Protecting Airplsne PropeIIers.

An aluminium plating for airpane
propellers has been devised for the
purpose of protecting the wood from
the influence of the weather, which
has been a serious problem heretofore.
The plating is thin leaf which is in
corporated in the finish of the propel-
lers, and the idea was developed by
the forest products laboratory at
Madison, Wis, and placed in produc-
ton by the war department. The
process is practically 100 per cent eff
fective in preventing absorption of
water, particularly in the storage
stage. A French authority states that
so per cent of the French propellers
produced are rejected by the pilots
nainly because they are out of bal
auce. This difficulty is due largely to
unequal absorption or distribution of
moisture and can be greatly reduced
by an effective interpreting coating.

Yesterdays Traffic

While we are passing around the
credit for the big day yesterday there
is one lot of local folk to forget which
would be criminal. That's the police.
With $4,000 people in town and a
thousand automobiles, for a day of yes
terday's activities to pass with scarce
ly an accident or collision is some
thing to brag about. And the local
police were largely responsible.
The way the traffic was handled
especially in the evening would be a
credit to a far larger place than st.
Johnsbury. Chief Finley had job
on his hands but he did it nobly and
all praise and credit to him and his
assistants. We hesitate to think of
what might have happened if all the
cars which visited the place yesterday
had been allowed to find their way
about at their own sweet will.
Our police force doesn't go about
with stuffed club in it's pants look
ing for trouble and loaded to the
point of explosion for fear that some
one is treading on it's authority. But
when the need arises, it certainly does
come up to the scratch.
