CHRISTMAS SEALS
Will Go On Sale Dec /, Largely By
School Children.

The Christmas seals, which for a
number of years have been sold TOR
one cent each to raise money TO fight
tuberculosis, will be on sale again Dec.
/. The sale in Vermont will be Con-
Quoted by the Vermont tuberculosis
association and the seals sold largely
through the school children
The boys and girls OF the state are
very much interested in the Vermont
tuberculosis association, first, because
the preventorium located at Essex
Center has been the means of putting
number of boys and girls on the road
to health, and secondly, because most
of them have joined the health crusade
conducted by the association
A child who joins the health crusade
sleeps with open windows, brushes his
teeth twice daily, stands erect, chews
his food and keeps daily seven other
health rules. For keeping these chores
loyal crusaders are promoted and re-
ceive appropriate buttons and badges
in addition to the Crusaders monthly
paper.
The modern health crusade in Yer
mont has grown so large that it takes
practically one-half of the time of
one employee of the association to
fill the orders that come in every day
for health chore cards. certificates Of
membership, buttons and badges. The
modern health crusade has been sue
cessful in getting the children 10 actu-
ally do the things for health they are
taught to do in the schools. The oh
iect of the various ranks and prizes
is to keep the children faithful TO these
health tasks until they become health
habits.
In December of each year the school
children are only too glad to get out
and sell the Christmas seals. Last
year the sale brought in over six thou
sand dollars for the work of the asso-
citation This year the association
hopes to sell at least seven thousand
dollars worth of seals.

GER MANY WILL
NOT ASK TO JOIN
No Formal Application for
Admission to League of
Nations
WOULD NOT IGNORE
AN INVITATION
According to DR.. Hermann
Mueller in Newspaper
Statement

Geneva. Nov Is BY the Associated
Press 49, Germany will not make for
NAL application for admission to the
league of nations, but would not ignore
an invitation to become a member,
said Dr. Hermann Mueller, vice presi-
dent of the foreign affairs committee of
the German reichstag, in statement
20 the,Journal de Geneve yesterday.
Germany will not ask the assembly
to admit her to the league" he de-
clared, because such an application
would give rise to sharp discussion
in the assembly for it is known certain
states have given indications they
would oppose her immediate entry, |
do not know whether they have suffi-
cient support to insure the triumph
of their viewpoint, but. however that
may be, such a discussion would not
be without danger TO the league itself
Besides, the German government does
not consider the league in its present
form as perfect. How, indeed, could it
be, since TO mention only two states,
it includes neither Russia nor the
United States, and universally is the
fundamental condition of its exist
encef'
THAT, however, does not mean that
Germany would maintain reserved
attitude in the event of some delega-
tion raising the question OF her adj
mission and If the assembly should ac-
cept her. Germany would not decline
an invitation resulting from such de-
cision."

1873 HERDS PASSED
A CLEAN TEST
Herds Which Had Never
Been Tested React 81
Per Cent

Some interesting records on the re-
suits of tuberculosis testing during the
past 30 days are announced by DR. A.,
J. DeFosset, inspector in charge of 5o-
vine tuberculosis eradication in Yer.
mont. During this 80 day period there
were tested total of 23l herds con-
tanning 4,45l cattle with the follow
ing results
A. In seven herds containing total
of 442 cattle there were found 253 dis
eased animals or slightly over 30 per
cent which reacted to the test.
B. In 81 herds with total Of 1850
cattle there were found 100 diseased
animals, or approximate ly six per cent
which reacted to the test
c. One hundred and thlrtythree
herds with a total of 2,l50 cattle
passed clean test
There is a wide range in the percent
age of diseased and healthy animals
found in these three groups. The seven
herds upder group A had not been pre-
viously tested. The percentage of re.
actors in these herds will decrease in
the next test, and will continue, so
that after several tests they will event
ualy obtain similar health status
as those under group~C, namely clean
herds. Many of the herds under group
B were tested last year when higher
percentage Of animals reacted to the
test and were removed and slaugh-
tered. The percentage of reactors has
decreased this year to approximately
six per cent. This ration OF reduction
in reactors. is common in all areas
where eradication is carried on, by the
wedding out process. Many OF the
herds under this group will probably
qualify as free from disease on the
next test.
There were some herds which were
found clean on first test. Infection had
never gained entrance into these herds.
Their owners had probably used pre-
caution in never including diseased
animals where purchases were made
by them. These are listed under group
c. Under this group there are also
placed herds which were found clean
on annual retest and from which were
removed small percentage of re-
actors last year when the first test was
applied.
These figures show clearly how prog
ress is made in tuberculosis eradlca-
ton. They tell also the graphic story
of. the seriousness of this seourge in
our cattle industry. This is a costly
disease which, if not controlled and ex
terminated, will, in short time, exter-
inmate our herds from the state. il
the situation is taken in hand in time,
and the herd owners win follow the ae-
credited herd plan now in operation
in Is states the diseased herds can be
cleaned up by the wedding out process,
and if none but tested cattle are added
to the herd it will eventually qualify
for the tuberculosis free accredited
herd register.
A clean herd has added value and
ready market at all times for its sur
plus stock A clean herd is an asset,
not alone in Vermont, but in every
state in the union. If you desire a
clean herd Of cattle communicate at
once with the commissioner of agri-
culture.

COT RECORD MILEAGE
on HIS u. S. CORDS

A prominent Boston merchant has
made what is believed TO be
worlds mileage record on a set OF
tires. on four United states Royal
Cords his heavy touring car trav-
eled 39.152 miles Of steady. hard
driving without a puncture, blow
out or any tire trouble whatever.
He has written a letter 10 the tire
company setting forth the record
and asking that his name be with
held. He is a part owner Of one
of the Hub city's largest department
stores.
Proper imitation and an ordinary
amount OF attention have made II
possible for me 10 attain this won
derful mileage" he stated. My
chauffeur advised me 20 buy Royal
Cords and told me that with proper
treatment they would give sa1sfac-
tory service. When I followed his
suggestion he took an interest in
demonstrating 20 me that his judg-
ment was good. and watched the
tires 10 see that they were not dam
aged by harmful treatment. When
I sold the car a short time ago, the
tires had about completed their
usefulness. but they had covered

One day the British minister

minister: Arc you biting your

responded by drawing his sword.
and the two diplomats rushed at

to clash, the president drew his own
sword between them and stopped the
fight.
That little incident gives Us a
picture Of the spirit Of Monroe and
his administration. While he was
in the White House, men and fac
tons had TO leave their quarrels at
the door.
The quiet modest president was
not so successful in keeping the
peace among the women Of the Of

social rank and precedence brewed
many squalls.

GENEVA, Dec. 7.-(By Associat-
ed Press PLANS for cooperation
on the technical organizations of the
League of Nations by representa-
tives of Armenia and former Rus
sian states, though those states are
not admitted to full membership IN
the League, were discussed by the
League assembly here today. This
was the principal item in the agenda,
having been brought into prominence
by the decision yesterday of the COM
Vmittee on the admission of new
states.
One of the early acts of the As
sembly this morning was to approve
the decision Of the committee on re-
lations between the Assembly and
Council of the League for the elimin-
nation of the entire paragraph of
the report which provided that the
Assembly had no power to take up
questions within the exclusive Jurls-
diction of the Council.
Sir George Foster, OF the Canad-
ian delegation, stirred the Assembly

marked, were the only countries that
responded with cash contributions

WOMAN ADMITS
SHE SHOT HAMON
Reporter Gets Interview
With Much-Sought
SLAYER

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Dec. T.
P, NJ Ross, local newspaper man,
who claims to have conversed with
Clara Barton Smith, sought in con-
nection with the death of Jake l..
Hamon, at Ardmore, Oklahoma, was
taken into custody by detectives ear
ly today as a material witness, at
the request of Russell Brown, coun-
ty attorney of Ardmore. Ross re-
fused to discuss the case with the
police and later was released.
The story told by Ross in the in
terview with Miss Smith, according
to the police, followed somewhat her
statements to E. w. Sails, of Dallas,
the chauffeur who drove Miss Smith
from Dallas to Cisco. Ross who is
employed on the San Antonio News,
said he had heard in a hotel lobby
that the woman was in San Antonio,
and through acquaintance during pre-
vious employment in Oklahoma he
recognized her. While a companion
fixed the flat tires on Miss Smith 5
automobile, Ross said he took her
to a nearby farmhouse, where he
said she told him she killed Hamon
''for the sake of their son Jack"
According to Ross she said she
was willing to face any just judge
or any jury of women.
