CELLUL0ID.

From the Detroit News.
Celluloid, from which many toilet
articles and limitations of ivory are
made, is composed from the cellulose
found in cotton cloth or raw cotton.
1t is treated with solution of nitric
acid which forms it into a pulp very
much like paper pulp. 1t is then
washed with water. which removes
most of the acid. 1t is partially hard
ened and camphor gum mixed with it,
when it is rolled into sheets and thor
oughly dried. To manipulate it, it is
softened by steam and then hardened
by drying.

Deportation.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
When it comes to dealing with our
own home grown anarchists we cannot
deport them to a foreign country. They
belong to Russia, but we cannot insist
that Russia receive them. OF course,
we have prisons, and there are still
some detention camps. Possibly we
have some remote and not too attractive
islands in which persons anxious to see
our government overthrown by force
might be interned.

GAS-AIR MIXTURES.
Various Ills Resulting From
erich" and "Lean" Combinations.

There is nothing mysterious about
the terms rich" and lean" mix
lures, says Motor Life. A rich mix
ture is one with too great a proper
tion of gasoline to the amount of air
whereas lean mixture is possessed
of less fuel than it should have for
proper combustion.
An over rich mixture will cause
overheating of the engine, to say
nothing of carbon accumulation and
such other ills as pre-ignition, loss OF
power, lack of accelerative ability
and loading up at low speeds.
AT high speeds a lean mixture will
cause misfiring and uneven running
of the motor. In connection with this
improper operation there will be ia
miliar popping in the carburetor.
OF course, these troubles cannot al
ways be charged to incorrect mix
lures, but nine times out of ten such
incorrect Cooperation can be traced
to it.

TARRED ROADS BOON

Binding Substance Sticks Tenaci
ously, But Labor and "Remov-

The tar season is here. says Motor
Life. The road repairman has come
out with his kettle Of tar. How the
motorist does love that tar which so
besmirches and bespatters his pretty
car.
Still, on second thought. the motor
list realizes the need Of renewing and
repairing the roads He is the first to
criticise the authorities II the roads
are neglected. And tar is the best
binder so far discovered for hole-fill
ing material.
To be sure. it is necessary to use
up a little elbow grease to take it
off the car, but if to the labor is add
ed a little of some good tar remover.
obtainable at almost any garage or
motor accessory store. the tar need
not cause any worries.
We should be glad the road is fixed
for the season and that we needn't
proceed at a funeral pace any longer.

New Hampshire Forester says
Scheme Works Well.
Rutland, Sept 90. AS a result Of
the proposal Ct the United States gov
eminent to buy UP certain sections
Of forest land in this state for ma
tional forest, c. r. Cooper manage
of the Creamery Package Manufac-
turing company Of this city, has writ
ten to Philip A. Ayres, forester of
the Society for the Protection eli
New Hampshire Forest, TO ascertain
how the Arrangement has worked out
in New Hampshire Mr. Ayers in re-
ply has expressed himself as fol-
lows: II"
Relative to the Weeks law, the
whole matter appears to be working
out very HellIn New hampshire, now
that we have had eight years Of pur-
chases on a large scale. The govern
tment has acquired 10000 acres on
cut side of the river, and for control
ling the waterfow of the Connecticut
it Is as important to purchase on the
Vermont side as on the New Hamp-
shire side.
You speak of the result on towns
which would like to be bought up by
the government and have little or no
taxable property left for reads, schools
and other purposes, The government
returns to a town from which timber
is taken % per cent Of the gross
sales; in addition, it uses 10 per cent
of the gross sales for road making in
the town Thus there is direct re-
turn Of 30 per cent Of the gross sales,
which Is in the long run very much
more than the town could get, by di-
rect taxation Of property. The amount
returned BY the federal government
10 towns in New Hampshire last year
Twas $4,000. which docs not include
tho road money THIS is only a be-
ginning. n.
The government does net take any
agricultural or other property that
is not directly for forest use, and this
does not disturb most OF the taxable
values in many Of our towns. At any
rate the result has not been one that
our people have felt as a burden, and
no complaints have been made ! ain
inclined to think that ii would work
out equally well in Vermont. If the
government acquired an entire towr
ship, it would probably keep up The
roads that were established prior t
purchase, but this particular situua
ton has not arisen in New Hamp
shire
I'VE are already feeling steady
support to our small local industries
in the White Mountain region, the
government does not sell in large
blocks to big owners, but in small
j blocks to l.ttle operators.
Il can heartily commend the extei
sion Of the national forest to the PEG
ple OF Vermont"

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

BAN teanapiit up atgame fight against
the st Joseph's team Of North Adj
ANS last Saturday afternoon, the con
test resulting in d nc-score tie. The
eleven this year is the first one the
local Institution has had in nine
years and deserves the support and
encouragement Of all Benningtonlans.
The team is badly handicapped owing
to the fact that there is 50 l.ttle ma.
terial in the high school for a foot
ball eleven that there can be no
scrub team and therefore no oppor-
tunity for scrimmage in the week
day practiye.
The two outstanding criticisms in
Saturdays game were that the local
men did not play low enough and that
much time was wasted in giving the
signals The signals were SO long
and apparently 50 little understood
by the backs that during some of the
plays the quarterback was almost
winded trying to get the signal
across The signal should Ne short
and snappy and should be given and
understood by the time the line is
formed for the play.
With less than half q dozen yards
to go, for a touchdown, the b. II. S.

three downs They were apparent

considered and were wholly at a loss
what to do. Two stabs at the center
