might catch up with the aatronomi-
cal ycar.
TO obviate further difficulties he
decreed that only years Invisible by
four and not by 100. and those divist-
bic BY 400 shall be leap years hay
ing 500 days. Thus tho year 1000
was leap year and the year 1000
will be the same. but the years 100,
1900 and 1900 were not leap years.

FEAR NO COAL
FAMINE IN VERMONT
Normal Amount Has Been Shipped Into
State-President of Hudson
Coal Co. Explains.

BURLINGTON, Oct IA meeting
was held in this city yesterday called by
Gov z. w. Clement to discuss the coal
situation in Vermont. 1t appeared that
the situation was not so grave as rep
resented for the reason that since the
first of April about the normal amount
of coal has been shipped into the state.
VI. H Williams vice president of the
Hudson Coal company of New York is
sued a statement at the conclusion of
! the meeting to Gov. Clement explaining
the situation in Burlington and other
parts of the state. He said in part:
! The quantity of domestic sizes of an
! thracite allotted to the state of Vermont
! by the United States fuel administration,
aggregated 316,S50 tons.
| Our program for the coal year ending
March 81, 1921, contemplates delivery
of pa. ST6 tons of domestic sizes of an
thracite for movement to Vermont. On
the basis OF equal monthly deliveries,
this will call for 12793S tons for the
first half of the coal year, that is, for the
six months ending September 30, 1920.
| During saiti six months, the actual de-
liveries aggregated 1924 tons or with
in ZOO tons Of our program. These de-
liveries have been accomplished depsite
a substantial reduction in our total pro-
lduction during that period.
In making the distribution of this
coal. it has been the practice so far as
conditions permitted, to give to each
community its fair proportion of the to-
tai 80 each community has received ap-
proXimately 30 per cent of the tonnage
allotted to it for the coal year.
Owe are behind in our program about
100 tons for the city of Burlington and
about 800 tons for the town of Man
chester. Otherwise the tonnage for
each community is approximately the pro.
gram figures for the set six months per
iod,
Unless some causes beyond our contro
! intervene. we expect to deliver to the
? several communities Of the state of Yer
> for by our program at which estimated
, above amounts to the aggregate to 30,
e SO tons out of a total 900 or 800,
600 REQUIRED from all sources.
With n few exceptions. ! am of til,

situation of other states due to feelinj
of alarm rather than due to natura

and second the desire of the dealers t

ciai obligations and to prevent othe

JUST GOT OVER A CoLD7

Look out for kidney troubles and

and often leave them weak. For weak
kidneys-well, read what a Brattleboro

Mrs. Milo Moon, 204 Elliot St, says:
Doan s Kidney Pills are a great med
icine. l used them several years ago
when I was. in very bad condition
with my back and kidneys, which was
due to bad cold that had settled on
my kidneys. l was troubled with a
weak and lame back. I also had severe
headaches and dizzy spells and my kid
neys were very weak and irregular in
action. I heard of Doan 5 Kidney Pills
and got a couple of boxes. In short
time they rid me of. the trouble and /

PLAYING CARDS.
Asia Originated and Europe Has Used
Them Since 1875.

AhCIA hSI1SS 1ZfO.
The invention of playing cards has
been variously attributed to India. Chi
ma, Arabia, and Egypt, but there seems
to be little doubt that they originated
in Asia, and We're introduced into En-
rope about the close of the 18th CEN
tury. There is a historical mention Of
the game of cards in Germany in 1878. in
Italy in 1899, but not in France until
1893. In the 10th century the manufac-
ture Of cards was a Furnishing business
in England, and under Edward " then
importation was forbidden to protect
the home industry.
The marks upon the suits of cards are
believed to have been chosen to repre-
Esent symbolically the different classes OF
society. Thus. the hearts stood for the
clergy, clubs for the soldiery. shades for
the serfs and diamonds for the mer.
chants. Tn the early French cards the
kings were pictures Of David, Alexander,
Caesar and Charlemacne. representino
the monarchies of the Jews. Greeks. Ro.
