Furthermore, this prospect of in
creased industrial activity appears at
time when business in certain manu-.
featuring lines, particularly some of the
metal and textile trades, is showing
signs of let-up and is doubly encour
aging on that account. Indeed, it is
not impossible that the pendulum of
business expansion, which swung away
from Brattleboro during the war years,
may, in its returning arc, push this
town well abreast of some of its here
tofore envied neighbors. Judged by
all visible signs local business was
never better than it is at the present
time, and it seems likely to be better
yet before any slackening becomes ap-
parent.

The MeddLer
IF the coat fits yoa, pzt IL on

If those conversant with the details
of the s. A. Smith Manufacturing Co.
sale are right in their statements as to
what the transfer means it may be
considered one of the most important
industrial happenings in a long time.
Doubling the number of hands en-
ployed at the Smith plant would mean
the employment there of approximately
300 persons and would place the con.
Germ well toward the top among Brat
tIeboro 8 manufacturing establish
ments. So far as expansion is con-
cerned, however, the demand for Amer
lean made toys has increased to such
an extent in recent years as to make
it seem fully justified, while the land
owned by the local company is ample
to provide factory room for several
times the number of people it now en-
ploys. The housing problem would, of
course, come up in connection with
any such increase, but with the re.
sources which are said to be back of
the new owners of the company the
chances are that they could be depended
upon to contribute substantially to its
solution. In any event, it will be in
teresting to watch the development of
the business under the new regime.

BERANGER's HEART TOO KIND
Great French Poet Continually Preyed
On by a Host Of lngrates Who
PIUcked Him.

Interesting anecdotes are told of the
great French poet, Beranger, who died
in 1857.
The poet was as poor as he was
generous. All he had he gave away,
and when there was nothing left he
sent the beggars who haunted his
house to call on his numerous friends.
One of the characteristics of this
unfortunate benefactor who was al
ways surrounded by host of ingrates,
was his tolerant spirit Since there
was no ante-chamber in his modest
home, the beggarS who knew the house
STAYED outside on the staircase it was
to see him without finding
Il half-dozen of them on the stairs.
There they used to wait like ravens
for the small change, old clothes, and
new clothes. that Lisette
was the first TO distribute to them
When friends demonstrated with Be
ranger for giving away things he need
ed to people whom he did not know,
Lisette would answer:
"Oh now, Beranger will just write
another song--the lazy fellow"

HOW SHIPS GET LATE MAIL
Drop Bags While the Vessel Is
Travelling.

Experiments have proved It entirely
practicable to deliver belated transat-
lantic mail steamers ut sea by air
planes.
The ship may have taken its depar-
ture several hours previously, yet the
flying machine, with a speed of 100
miles or more an hour. can easily catch
up with it and put the mail aboard
A plane of the dying boat type is
used for this purpose and the water
proof mail bag is held in chute on
the side of the hull. The aviator flies
over the ship and the. rigging en-
tangles a long line dropped from the
plane that has grapple tails on its end.
This line is attached to the mail bag,
which, when the grapplc tails catch
is ierkcd out of its chute, falling into
the sea.
1t is then an easy matter to haul
the mail bag aboard, while the steamer
continues its uninterrupted voyage.
