Influenced by the recommendation of a

are by a perusal Of a balance sheet.
Statistics for the average bond buyer
are useful to Justify purchase after

Human nature does not become
transformed into a cold, mathematical
mind when it steps south of Fulton
Street. The old emotions and the time
worn prejudices continue to sway men
even after they have entered the
sacred doors Of finance.
The passion for the novel is ono of
the most striking forces in the current
bond market. New issues Of high
character are quickly bought, but old
issues OF equal merit are ignored by
the small buyers who are now playing
such an important part in the invest
ment world, since high taxes have to a
significant extent driven the ultra
wealthy cut Of tho market for taxable
securities.
Heads Of tho large distributing
houses remark that they cannot get
anything like the enthusiasm out of
their organizations for the exploita-
tion Of old issues as they can for
rev. In some instances the out
standing bonds are selling at slight
ly better yield than the fresher offer
ings. yet mathematics alone are not
decisive.
The enthusiasm associated with
floating a new obligation spreads from
the selling force to the customer. and
the operation appeals to the imagina-
ton. Besides, the new issues almost in
variably, because Of the rise in In
terest rates, bear higher coupon
rate than the old. And despite the
fact that the old can be bought at

Bond dealers anticipate an improve

Pneumatic chisel.

Loredo Taft, a Chicago sculptor, it
is stated, has installed in his studio
a pneumatic chlsel, by means Of which
the work Of outlining marble statues
is greatly simpllied. The old method
of carving with mallet and chisel is
not only labOrious, but rather awk-
ward for the sculptor, since only one
hand is left free to guide the chisel
In the case of the pneumatic chlsel
both hands may be used for this pur-
pose. The pneumatic chisel is driven
by compressed air, at a pressure Of n
pounds per square inch, operating
through a flexible tube, the air being
compressed in a large tank by means
Of an electric motor. The air pass
ing through the tube has the effect
Of driving the chisel back and forth
against the stone, just as If 1t were
hit by a mallet The chisel, Of
course, is used only to outline the
statue roughly, the finishing work all
being done by hand.

FAVORS ELECTION OF WILSON
To Editor of the Middlebury, Register

AS there are five candidates for
county senator, and only two are to be
elected, take this opportunity to ex-
press myself in behalf of Myron W.
Wilson of Bristol, whose candidacy for
county senator was announced few
months ago.
Mr.. Wilson has beer connected with
the Bristol Herald for al years and as
editor thereof has stood for, and has
always advocated those matters of pub
lie advancement and improvement
which were for the benefit, not only of
Bristol and Addison County, but of the
state of Vermont. He has always
taken deep interest in town affairs,
and while opposed locally, at times, by
his persistency and "bull dog" tenacity,
through the medium of his paper, has
succeeded in bringing about improve
ments which have made Bristol one of
the most attractive towns in the county
if not the state.
He was an unsuccessful candidate for
county senator two years ago, and the
spirit with which he accepted his de-
feat was most commendable He then
announced that he would again be a
candidate at the next primary, and
thanked all who had supported him,
and praised his opponents for their
honesty and fairness. That shows his
liberal spirit of heart and mind.
He is a person of uncompromsng
character. His views and position on
public questions are clearly expressed,
you always know where he stands. He
does not say one thing and do opposite.
He believes in the principle and spirit
of the 18th amendment, the return of
the little red school house, less money
squandered on highways under the
present system and fewer state com
missions
The writer having been a member of
the legislature when Mr.. Wilson repre-
sented Bristol in 1917 knows of his
sterling qualities and faithful and eff
cient manner in discharging his duties.
His experience in the lower house will
greatly help him in discharging more
efficiently his duties in the senate should
he be elected. In my judgment, Ad-
Olson County can do no better than to
select Mr. Wilson as one of the two
senators. Let's do it.
Sincerely yours,
EX-MEMBER OF LEGISLATURE.

SHALE ACCEPTABLE AS FUEL
Satisfactorily Uced New in Esthonia,
1t May Be Taken UP by Other
Countries.

Railroads in Esthonia seem in fair
way to discard coal in favor Of btu
minOus Shale. substance common
enough in geological formations to
make the ESthonian experiment widely
interesting. Lacking coal, the Estho-
nian provisional government has been
investigating the possibilities of Shale,
and as the report comes by way of
Helsngfors, shale is now being used
for a good many purposes. The gas
factory at ReVal, for example is using
shale exclusively for making gas. But,
so far, shale has not been adopted
as fuel. and wood is being burned
in the fire-boxes. The factory prob
ably waits to see how completely shale
can be used to run railway trains,
and the railway factory in Reval is
now experimenting with fire-bOxes
suitable to using shale in locomotive.
That it can be successfully used, how
ever, seems to have been proved. Cost
is a strong argument for the use of
shale, and marks for a pOOd, or
some 80 or 40 pounds, of shale, as
against 80 marks for the same meas
ure of coal makes it very much cheap
err. 1t would be odd but not impos-
sible, If later events should show that
in using shale for fuel the little-known
country of EsthOnia is leading the
world.

The proverb that a prophet is not
without honor save in his own country
was illustrated, to some degree at
least, in the case of the late DR.. Sam
uel Sheldon. Born in Middlebury OF
one Of our oldest and most honored
families educated in our own high
school and college, returning here al
most every year of his life for the vaca-
ton period, he seemed so thoroughly
one of us that we did not always
realize the eminence he had attained.
At the early age of 26 DR.. Sheldon
was associated with one OF the most
eminent physicists OF Europe in inves-
legations which are now part OF the
history of physical science. Returning
from Europe with the degree of Doc
tor of Philosophy, he became at once
member of the Faculty of Harvard
University. For 81 years he was Pro-
fessor of Physics and Electrical En-
gineering at the Brooklyn Polytechnic
Institute. A member of many scien-
tihc and learned societies. the esteem
in which he was held by those who
knew his attainments was indicated by
his election few years ago to the
Presidency of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers. the highest
honor of his profession in the United
States
DR.. Sheldon was one OF the first
Middlebury students to catch the en-
thusiasm OF modern scientific study.
He was the pioneer who was followed
by Langworthy OF 81, Austin of S9,
Mead of go, and many others. We all
knew him as a genial, kindly friend,
an intense lover of his native town
and State. Perhaps we did not al
ways remember that he was a man
whose scientific researches and writ
ings had made his name familiar in
learned circles the world over He
brought honor to Middlebury and
Middlebury ought to honor his mem

THE WOMAN VOTE

The entrance of women into active
politics has thrown a scare into the
political machines that had been iunc-
tioning well until theTennessee ratit-
cation inserted the proverbial monkey
wrench into the cogs. One feature
seems to be the weakening OF Agan
odds and greater respect Tor the
Hardness boom. That our wives and
sisters will register protest against
the Ludlow mans championship OF
the liquor pseudo-issue is certain, But
TO whom will their thousands OF votes

them, although his stand for equal
suffrage has net been more favorable
than has Mr.. Rabbits With their
position on this suffrage matter equal
Nv good, Hartness and Rabbit differ
greatly in the treatment Of real issues.
The Hartness platform is lengthy
without meaning much. 1t contains
beautiful dream of a Vermont rem
naissance. a conversion from agricul-
tural pursuits to industry. He would
COOP UP behind the stone walls OF his
mills citizens whose ancestors were al
WAYS lovers of the open air. And Mr..
Hardness does not know himself how
he would bring this all about, or at
least he does not venture to say so.
Vermont has been a farmers state
and will remain so as long as its noun
tains and valleys share the sunlight
No, Mr.. Hartness, your plan has many
more disadvantages than recommends
tions.
Mr.. Babbitt is content to let good
enough alone and has promised to de-
vote his energies to the improvement
of present institutions. He has served
with honor in the legislature where his
record as a promoter of constructive
laws was second to none in decade.
His one advantage of such experience
in the framing of legislation ought to
assure his nomination. His opponents
have not served even a single term in
the capitol. Vermont needs a law
maker for Governor. not an ideaGst or
an standardization champion.
