LOCAL TAXIDERMIST
COMES INTO FAME
Horace Payne Solves Puzzle That
Battles Experts in Several States

The suspense that had kept Corn
wall folks, some of them, awake nights
has been terminated. Far and wide
through the northeastern section of the
country had been published the re-
quest that some expert in bird lore re-
leve this tenseness in solving our
neIghbors, problem by lending their as
sistance in establishing the identity of
a certain tramp fowl" that had alight-
ed in Mrs. F. D. Manchester's back
ward, languished from Thursday to the
following Tuesday and then died Its
advent had been duly noted in The
Register two weeks ago, and the little
obituary of the alien,-gray, like
duck, with legs so short that it bare
lv waddled and beak which was long
and sharp,-had been copied by the
papers of several states in editorial CO.
operation to enlist the aid of the best
naturalists in giving it a name. From
Providence, R. l., from New Haven,
Conn, and other places far and near
had poured in suggestions that how
ever did little in clearing up the mys-
terry The esteemed New York Times
in its edition last Sunday found room
on page two of its main sheet to help
the cause, but to no avail. Finally
Horace D. Payne of Bridport, farmer
and taxidermist, after thumbing his Ii
brary of Ornithology, found a genus
and species that fitted. And Cornwall
is satisfied with his nomenclature Of
San Domingo Grebe Bridport too is
rejoicing that their avn townsman has
solved the riddle that had baffled the
best naturalists of several states. Mr..
Payne is mounting Madam Grebe for
Mrs. Manchester
The following clipping from the
Times of New York will illustrate the
interest with which the metropolitan
press rallied to the aid of the anony-
nous birds benefactors The editor
called on his imagination to a large
degree, but Of course his sincerity can
not be doubted.
Cornwall, VT. Feb. 5.-Ornithologists
are endeavoring to determine the .spe-
cies of a strange bird that descended
in the barnyard of Mrs. F. D. Man
chester, wooed a Plymouth Rock hen
and was slain in a duel with jealous
rooster.
The intruder was gray, about the
size of duck, had a long red beak
and such short legs that it waddled
with difficulty. Its feet were webbed
and in fighting it used its bill like a
rapier. Superior agility won for the
rooster

DIR. THOMAS TELLS
WHY'S OF CHANGE.
Students Hear Presidents Reason
for Transfer to Penn State

At the opening chapel exercises OF
the second semester Monday President
John M. Thomas made statement to
the students as to his reasons for trans
ferring to the Pennsylvania State Col
ege. He said he had always expected
to remain in Middlebury through his
active life and had not sought any
other position, but the Trustees of the
Pennsylvania State College sought him
out few weeks ago and told the story
of their large State institution of over
1000 studeuts and the possibilities OF
its development. The agricultural in
terests of Pennsylvania are very large,
more people living on farms and in
rural communities in that State than
in any other except Texas, The finan-
cial resources of Pennsylvania are very
great. Considering that New York has
no State University, the possibilities of
the PENNSYLVANIA institution are second
to those of none other in the country
They have already an Engineering
School of over 100 students; the
School of Agriculture is recognized as
one of the best as we'll as one of the
largest in the United States; the School
of Mines has high rank; and the School
of Liberal Arts and of Pure Science IS
larger than most Liberal Arts Colleges
of New England. Through the eXten-
sion work attached to the College in
accordance with the Federal Statutes
the spirit of the institution reaches all
tho naopla of the State
"I have told you" he said, chat it
is the duty of a man to live by his best,
to render the greatest service possible
to the world, to accept the hardest
and most trying responsibilities. Act
ing on that principle, l did not see how
l could refuse the new work. may
fail, but l would not be worthy OF
Mddlebury if did not try"
Il want to assure you that the 1u-
ture of Middlebury is very bright in
deed. l know perfectly well that | am
leaving a very attractive opening here.
If Middlebury forges ahead rapidly in
the future. you must not then think
that I made a mistake, for l know
now that her great progress is assured,
There are problems ahead, but they
can be solved and there are always
problems anywhere, If anyone feels
that I have been of service to Middle
bury, his duty now is to work for the
Old College all the more earnstly and
devotedly. That is my appeal to you
and to all our alumni and friends

DRIVE LAUNCHED FOR
NEW 7. B. HOSPITAL
Voters to Act on Proposition to
Erect SanitaFium

The drive for the proposed fve-coun-
ty tuberculosis hospital was launched
recently by H. w. Slocum, executive
secretary of the Vermont Tuberculosis
Association, and the committees of the
various districts have already massed
their forces for the education of the
voters in the need and benefits OF the
plan. Every town in the counties of
Addison, Chittenden, Grand Isle, La
noble and Franklin will be thoroughly
canvassed by the proponents of the
institution in order to force action in
the approaching March meetings.
Leaflets and similar literature contain
ing the plans of the project and argu-
ments for its acceptance will soon be
distributed broadcast by way of ac-
quainting the people of these counties
with the details of the foundation.
Dr. G. F. Edmunds of Bristol, dis
trct health officer, is the chairman of
the Addison County committee. He
is assisted by DR.. S. S. Eddy and Judge
]. E. Weeks of Middlebury, Judge
Frank L. Fish of Vergennes and Davis
Wells of Orwell.
Secretary Slocum explained that the
need of the hospital for the care OF ad-
vanced cases of tuberculosis is para
mount. At the present time nearly
one half of the state appropriation OF
$4,000 for the relief of consumptives is
spent in New York and Massachusetts,
sanitariums. He emphasized the fact
that there were many persons suffering
with the disease who could not recon-
cile themselves to go to such distance
for treatment Their only alternative
now is to remain in their families as a
perpetual menace to the other mem
bers of their households. BY building
the hospital all these sufferers would
be certain of relief nearer home. They
would be taught to care for themselves
without danger of passing the conta-
gion to Others. Those who were too
seriously sick to hope for their re-
coverv would be assured of expert care
for the remainder of their lives.
The five counties that would unite in
the erection of the hospital would re-
ceive the preference in the admittance
of cases while patients from other
sections of the state would also be re-
ceived to the limit of the accommoda-
tions.
The present plans do not call for
permanent building 1t is thought that
the cost would be prohibitive for
some time to come. 1t is hoped how
ever, to put up temporary structures
to house the sick comfortably, these
to be substituted later on by the best
modern building possible.
On Tuesday afternoon a meeting OF
the Addison County committee was
held in the office of President J M.
Thomas Of Middlebury College for the
discussion of the advisability of a tu-
berculosis ward to be added to the
proposed Porter general hospital. Sec
retary Slocum and DR.. E. J. Rogers,
superintendent of the Vermont sana-
torium were also present. After the
debate it was agreed that the plan was
not feasible. The establishment OF
the single ward would not be fair to
either the other patients or the tuber-
cular themselves, it was said. The
meeting voted unanimously to push the
five county institution campaign.

CIGARETTE IN WASTE BASKET
THREATENS D. K. E. HOUSE
Prof. Collins and Fred Vassar Hold
Blaze in Check for Firemen


Only the hardest kind of work by
DR.. Edward D. Collins, provost Of
Middlebury College, and Fred NASSAU
saved the Delta Kappa Epsilon fra
ternity house from possibly great
damage by fire last Tuesday morning
A cigarette had been thrown unextin
guished into waste basket, with the
result that before the consequent blaze
could be killed an entire study room
had been destroyed of its furnishings
The damage was confined to the rugs,
pennants, furniture and curtains Of
the apartment, occupied by Robert B.
Shepardson and Howard R. Nelson,
both seniors
When the village fire department
answered the general alarm the men
met the professor coming down the
stairs bathed in perspiration with his
effort. He told them that he and
Mr.. Vassar had smothered the blaze
with the rugs and sofa pillows in an
effort to hold it in check until their
arrival. The use of the chemical
quickly finished their work. When the
department was rolling up its hose the
college apparatus wheeled around the
corner of Starr Hall in response to the
alarm rung by Mrs. NJ o. Mason who
had seen the flames from Hepburn Hall
Both DR.. Collins and Mr.. Vassar
were passing by on their return from
the formers farm when they noticed
the clouds of smoke rolling from the
window. There were no students in
the house at the time and after the
alarm had been given over the tele-
phone both went to work to combat

WATER DEPT WILL SEEK
UNREPORTED FAUCETS
Commissioner Howarth Will Begin In
spection of Entire System Next Week

As early as possible next week the
Board of Water Commissioners will be-
gin thorough inspection of the entire
water system of the village. James O..
Howarth, a member of the Board, will
visit in person each property which
is supplied from the community's re-
servoir. He will at the same time
distribute to each taxpayer the regu-
lations of the Water Department.
When he will have finished and sub
mitted his report it is expected that
there will be considerable tax revision.
An inspection of the detail planned
now has not been made for several
years. In the meantime many exten-
slons of household and other private
systems have been made and not re-
ported to the department by either
property owner or plumbing contractor
as required by the regulations In
this way many have escaped the pay
ment of the tax proportionate to their
water consumption as the present as
sessments were made on the basis of
statistics compiled mostly in the last
inspection.
Mr.. Howarth will begin his investi-
cations in the southern part OF the
village, presumably on South street.
