Be Taken Into Homes Hereabouts
announcements Tomorrow.

August is the date which has been
set FOR fresh air children to come to
Brattleboro and Windham county, and
while only one person has spoken to
Mrs. Herbert A. Wood regarding ac-
commodations for children it is ex-
pected that others viii signify their
willingness to afford vacation to one
or more of the q kiddies' who live in
the crowded tenement sections of New
York throughout the year with no
other playground than the street.
The work in Brattleboro viii be
taken up through the churches and an
nouncements regarding it will be made
from the pulpits tomorrow. Chairmen
will be secured in some of the smaller
towns of the county, where some of
the children doubtless will have the
privilege of two weeks on farms. Mrs.
Woods telephone number is 91-X
Those who are considering taking
some of the children in their homes will
be interested to know that 43 fresh air
children from New York, the first to
arrive in Vermont, went through Brat
tleboro on the early afternoon train
Yesterday on their way for an outing
| of two weeks, 30 of the party going to
Windsor and II to Hartland. When
| they left the train they were treated
to ice cream and then distributed
among the hostesses. One child is to
be taken on trip through the White
mountains, the family who agreed tC
care for one having arranged their
mountain vacation and decided to take
their guest with them. A telegraphit
order was sent for eight more children
in Windsor, but it was received too late
for the children to be gotten ready. Il
is expected that an additional ordel
for two win be sent from there so thai
another party of 10 can be sent out
Miss Lena Hamilton, who has ehargt
of organizing the work for the Tribun,

rangements are being made for the re-
moval of the office of the extension service

Chicago Prof William NJ. Rider, di-
rector of the service, will go to Chicago,
but the other members of the staff will re-
main here and be absorbed by the office
of the association secretary, Frederick l..
Houghton, which is constantly taking ON
additional hands.
Prof Rider viii build up new staff
| in Chicago, but he viii not establish an
office there until he has completed work
which is in progress in this section of the
country, which viii take about two
months. He will leave Monday for Wor-
eester and Boston, and at Montello, Mass,
will confer with President Stillwell OF
the New England Holstein-Friesian club,
who is manager of the d. w. Field Co

Court in Greenfield.
Especial to The Reformer.)

GREENFIELD, july II.
Frank A. Larrow, through his attor-
ney, N. d. Clawson, appeared before
Judge Field in district court today and
pleaded nolo to a charge of recklessly
operating an automobile. He was
fined $75, which Mr. Clawson paid.
Patrick 0'Donnell, chief of police at
South Deerfeld was complainant in
the case, the evidence showing that
Larrow, driving rapidly through South
Deerfeld street Wednesday evening,
failed to negotiate the curve near the
Bloody Brook monument, his car skid
ding and then plunging over an en-
bankment into a swamp. The front of
the car sank into the swamp up to the
body and this fact alone is believed to
have kept it from overturning and pos
sibly killing both occupants.

SANDY HOOK, n. j., July 1.-THE
second race of 1920 for the America Is

later in the day by order of the re-

clared that no finish could be made
within the time limit of six hours given
for any contest AT 1l45 a. m. a stray
zephyr came in from the south which
gave the yachts just steerage way, bat
not enough to warrant starting the
race.
The spectator fleet was larger than
on Thursday, while the decks of the
steam yacht, Victoria, were crowded
with guests of Sir Thomas Lipton.
Weather prophets Yentured guess
that wind would spring up later in
the day from the southeast or south
west, bat at noon there was not the
| slightest sign Of a breeze Under the
| sailing rules the regatta committee
had thee power to postpone the race

intervals by hosting the &C. signal
