DON'T WASTE THE CITY WATER!

every resident of the city who Is a
user of the city water system to ae
careful Of the waste of water during
the present week, In some respects
the break came at an opportune time
for making repairs; but in other re-
spects the break was most inopportune
because of the scarcity of water due
to the prolonged dry spell OF the sum

not enough water in that system to
supply the city for daily use and for
emergencies; and now that the supply
has been greatly shortened by the prev
alence of dry weather the situation
is all the more acute. Not one gallon
of water should be wasted. In every
reasonable way the use of the water
should be curtailed lest the city find
itself against an absolute water fam
inc. We feel sure that the people Of
the city, realizing the acute situation,
will see to it that the public health
and safety of the community are not
ieopardized through willful, waste or
misuse of water during the next few
days.

The beating up which customs man
and helper received near Highgate le-
Gently when they attempted to stop
and overhaul an automobile suspected
of carrying liquor illegally illustrates
that public sentiment in northern Yer
mont is not wholly on the side Of en-
forcement, as has been stated by Off
cials. They were not maltreated ty
the two men travelling in the automo-
bile suspected of carrying the liquor
but were pounded up by two men who
came to the assistance of the men in
the automobile when the latter were
being subjected to examination. Not
only was the customs officer and lis
helper beaten up but the automobile
of the former was put out of commits
sion and his weapon taken from him,
Enforcement of the law under such
conditions when public sentiment is
in part in favor of the rum-runner or
alleged rum-runner is a rather difficult
matter. The case emphasizes the con
tention that the government is not
furnishing enough men to carry on the
work of preventing the importation OF
liquor from Canada.

WHAT WE HAVE AND DO

II sometimes takes a visitor to bring
US to a realization of what nature
has done for us here in Vermont. We
see painting by nature every day
and we get to consider it more or less
commonplace. Then along comes some
one with keen appreciation of the
beautiful and tells us what we have;
and we begin to take notice again,
It was left for an English traveller in
Vermont to tell us something right Mt

give part of the word painting which

and now and again as you dip down
again the rust-red day lilies highten
the color scheme. If you think of it,
it is rare to find valleys and noun
tains and shaded roads and views all
together But the way up the valley
is on a mountain side, and the valley
is very wide, and half the time you
are getting the thrill produced by a
| mountain road which suddenly turns
corner and drops down sheer on one
side. And suddenly you will come
upon lake, the only fiat thing in all
the countryside. And it is blue and
pine shaded, and if you are wise, and
sometimes if you are not, you will
not bother about drying, but viii stop
and take dip in the sun warmed wa

COX CHANGES Mind
ABOUT "M0VING IN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-There has
been very marked change" for the
better in President Wilson's condition
since last summer, former Governor
James Cox of Ohio declared today
after a 40 minutes visit to the presi-
dent at the white house. The execut-
i've, Mr. Cox said, was heavier and
more robust in every way than he
was on the occasion of the former gov
ernor's call last summer soon after he
had been nominated as the Democratic
presidential candidate.
Describing his visit as merely a
friendly call. Mr.. Cox refused to go
into details as to his conversation
with the executive. He did say, how
ever, that his projected trip to Europe
in June was talked about and added
that he would not take any messages
to Europe for the president.
Mr.. Cox emphatically disclaimed
any purpose in his call to talk politics
and jokingly remarked that he had
gone to the white house to tell the
president that he had decided mot
to move in.

SPAIN MAY ORGANIZE
new CABINET SOON
(By Associated PreSs)

MADRID, Jan. 26-Formation of a
new Spanish cabinet by supporters of
Premier Dato who resigned on Monday
and under the leadership of some
prominent member of that group, is
considered the only possible solution
of the ministerial crisis which prevails
here. 1t is believed that such a gov
ernment would secure the personal
support of Dato and be reasonably
stable.
Count Romanones, Marquis De AL
hucemas and Antonio Maura, former
premiers, and Senor Villanueva, for
mer minister of finance, as well as the
speakers of both houses of the Cortes.
had conversations with King Alfonso
today and advised the king to retain
Dato in office. They gave as their
reason for this counsel that the pres
ent Cortes was elected under the
auspices of Dato and that, in conse-
quence, other politicians would be un-
able to guarantee the existence Sof a
cabinet beyond a short period.

Tiqhfeninp of Restrictions

Warning to grocers. confectioners,
and butchers has been issued by Will
liam Hunt. food and drug inspector,
that suitable coverings of glass, wood
or metal must be provided for food
stuffs which are subject to attacks
of worms and flies, and that are
eaten without washing. The state law

forced.

prevalent during the past two years

in their enforcement of this law, but
this is now over, Mr.. Hunt states.

TOXIC SMOKE CANDLE
TO PLAY LARGE PART
IN WARS OF FUTURE
.Bv Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. &c. - Toxic
smoke candles, recently developed,
will have an extensive use in future
wars, in the opinion OF L. i. Shaw, OF
the Internal Bureau OF Mines, who re-
Gently spoke on Smoke and Incendi-
ary Material" before the Franklin in
stitute.
Smoke. candles. so called he said.
ARE small cylindrical boxes which are
ignited by some sort of friction device
and which contain smoke-producing
mixtures. Their use is in setting up a
smoke screen close at hand. for after
ignition they are simply set on the
ground not being thrown or projected
in any way. The need is very appar-
ent to make the movements of small
groups of men close at hand. possible.
Many Requirements.
The British, early in the war, de-
veloped very satisfactory smoke can
dies which were used by all the allies.
The Americans also developed a can
die which was satisfactory, but which
did not get into production and use in
France before the armistice. The
smoke is normally white. must have
maximum capacity and be cool enough
to prevent the setting up of air cur
rents and thus rise from the ground
1t must be heavy so as to be displaced
by the minimum amount of wind OF
low velocity. These requirements are
admirably met by candles which pro-
duce a smoke consisting of zinc chol-
ride.
LAS regards the future of incendi-
airy material, my own opinion, which
opinion, however, is substantiated by
at least some of the military critics,
is that incendiary material, except for
small arms and long range shell and
drop bombs will have at least a very
limited, and perhaps no use The
flame projectors will probably never
be used in future war Smoke mate
rial, on the other hand, will have q
very extensive and ever-increasing
use. By the use of the smoke screen
during an attack the casualties can be
largely reduced.
To Find New Use.
There was in progress of develop
ment by the British and Americans
during the latter part of the war,
smoke candles which would give d
toxic smoke. The toxic material en-
phenylchlorarsine is solid which vap-
orizes in the heat of the candle and is
obtained in such a state of division
that it will penetrate most gas masks.
Such toxic smokes, of which there
will probably be others developed, will
find a very extensive use in the fu-
ture. 1t is the greatest step made
thus far in the new use of smoke.
