CAUGHT B.e RAINBOW TROUT
Oscar Eddy Took Good Fish From
Otter Greek Monday.

Numbers of people who passed the
Endress cigar store window Monday
evening, for the first time in their
lives, saw rainbow trout. . The fish,
one weighing two and orequarter
pounds and The other cons derably
smaller, were caught in Otter Creek
in Rutland county by Oscar Eddy.
Mr.. Eddy also secured larger speci-
men which he gave away.
Rainbows have been caught in a
number Of Vermont streams for some
time, notably Mad river and Dog
river in Washington county, two
streams that were stocked years ago
by the state fish and game commits
sion.
Rainbows are not native to eastern
waters but have been imported from
the streams Of the Pac fc coast and
other western waters in an effort to
revive the fishing in streams from
which the native brook trout or
charrs have been eliminated.
The rainbow is fine scaled fish
and obtains its name from the stripe
running from the center of the gill to
the tail and which seems to possess
all the colors Of the rainbow. The
rainbow is a much handsomer fish
than the brown trout and sportsmen
claim that it has far better fighting
qualities.

MORE COINS MINTED
OVER A CENTURY AGO
Georoe Downer Has Two Silver Pieces
That Are Remarkably Well
Preserved.

The article in one of the last week
issues of The Banner in regard to old
coins has come to the attention Of
George Downer and Monday afternoon
he brought into the Office two small
silver pieces that antedated the coin
that figured in the previous story.
The coins are larger than an Ameri-
can dime and smaller than the twenty
cent piece that was in circulation a
number OF years ago. One was dated
1777 and the other few year earlier
The money came from the Spanish
mint and was put in circu alton during
the reign of Charles III
A century and a half ago, when
Spain was u world power. the money
of that nation travelled into all sec
tions Of the then known world and for
this reason, Spanish coins of that peri
cd are not at all rare. During the
reign of Charles III large section of
the country within the United States
was under the dominion OF Spain as
was practically all OF South America
and numerous islands Of the At antic
and Pacific oceans.
The two coins in quest on came into
Mr., Downer's possession 80 years ago
at time when he was employed as
ianitor in a large Brooklyn apartment
house. While giving the building a
spring house cleaning he found in the
bottom of light shaft mans vest,
which. judging from its condition, had
been lying there for years. The cloth
was so rotted that the garment fell to
pieces when lifted from the ground
In the vest Mr.. Downer found a gold
bracelet, pair Of earrings and one Of
those hair watch chains such as were
worn by many persons 60 years ago
During the years that have elapsed
since Mr.. Downer discovered the dis
integrating vest and the contents of
the pockets, the bracelet, the earrings
and the hair watch chain have disap-
peared as things of that kind have a
way of disappearing, but he has re-
-tained the two coins which are as per
feet as though they had left the mint
but a few months ago

MONKEYS HATE JAZZ,
THAT is, REAL ONES DO
Scientists Try Carbaret STUFF On
Jungle renizens-Animsls Spurn
The RAD Time.

New York, May 5.--Humans may
like jazz, but animals don't
This was the conclusion reached by
a group Of scientists who recently as
sembled in the Central Park zoo to
see what a saXophone and traps
would do to the emotions Of monk
eys, ons, leopards, elephants and
other jungle beasts.
A quintet OF musicians, guaranteed
to rag anything from Wagner down
was m&ssed in front of the monkey
cages for the first laboratory test to
determine whether the line music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" was, after all, only poetic Ii
cense.
According to a corps of unscientific
reporters who journed to the zoo with
scientists from Co'umb university,
American Museum of Natural History
and New York Geological Park, the
monkeys registered emotion all right
but of rather savage kind.
Then the latest jazz was banged in
to the ears of lions and their mates.
All hoped to their feet, with fur
bristl ne.
AS for Mrs. Murphy, hippopotamus,
she merely wrecked the experiment
by diving into her tank and shutting
out the racket. The elephants
seemed to tremble with rage.
Only one beast was found that ap.
parently was able to endure, if not en-
JOY, jazz. That was Bagheeta, the
leapardess. But when hymn was
played she started six-day race
around her cage, splitting sparks. The
scientists, however, put question
mark after Bagheeta's test, for atten-
ton was called to the fact that, at
the moment, a keeper whom she
chose to relish only as a potential
meal, had just passed her cage

Washington, May 3President
Harding today launched drive
against what he termed "a dangerous

the fact that calls for approximately

Washington, May 3.-The congress.

members are st II in the minority,
however, and there was moth ng today
to indicate that Melons statement
would cause congress to change it's

through the permanent tariff bill
before taking up tax revision.
Mellon recommended that congress
"readjust the income tax rates to a
maximum combined normal tax and

year 1921, and about 33 per cent
thereafter. The so-called normal
rate now ranges between 4 and per
