POISON GAS IN THE GARAGE.

Open the garage doors or slip a piece
of hose over the exhaust pipe of the car
and let that discharge the gas outside of
the garage these winter mornings. Run
ming the engine to warm it up in a closed
garage is almost aS deadly a performance
as going to bed with the gas turned on
and unlighted in the bedroom. Prof. Hen
derson of Yale utters the warning.
The exhaust from the car contains
quantities of deadly carbon monoxide gas.
An average-sized car produces not less
than a cubic foot of this gas per minute.
The professor calculates that in 10 by
20 foot garage, unless there is plenty of
access to the fresh air, the gas will reach
the deadly point in three or four minutes.
In less time than this, headache and SER
ious nausea may be caused.
The number of deaths resulting from
starting cars in closed garages always
mounts up with the advent of winter. Let
tlfe poison out and the air IN, and enjoy
life a little longer.

mont and is leading some sportsmen to
advocate closed season of from Two TO
four years. The 1920 season was for both
bucks and does and the slaughter that
ensued in that season is now being felt.
The question whether hunters should
ever be permitted to kill does was bitterly
fought out in the state legislature eight
or nine years ago with a victory for those
who maintained that Vermont had so
many deer that their numbers presented
a serious menace TO the crops of the state.
A few seasons of doe shooting have now
resulted in a condition that bids fair to
ruin one of the best sports in Vermont.
1t IS probably not yet necessary to en-
force a closed season. but no more does
should be killed for some years to come.
Open zones have been established around
several farms and orchards in the state
where deer sometimes do serious damage
and it is safe to say that the potential
damage the state is liable to receive from
these animals is negligible under present
conditions. If the does are left alcne.
the state will soon be the same good deer
hunting territory as in former years.

John w. Garrett, secretary general of
the Washington conference, is a cOnspic
uouS representative of the group of young
men drawn into the American diplomatic
service during the Mckinley and ROose-
welt administrations from the ranks of
educated and ambitious young men. Mr..
Garrett entered the service in 1901. as
secretary of the American legation at The
Hague. Then followed two years in the
embassy at Berlin, three at the embassy
at Rome. and then commissions as minis
ter. first to Venezuela. and later to Argen-
tina and to the Netherlands. Mr.. Gar
rett comes of a renowned Maryland fam
lily. conspicuous in the worlds of finance,
education, and philanthropy. In recent
years he has been called upon to repre-
sent the United States repeatedly at var
ious international conferences for the set
tlement of disputes of many kinds, and he
has few peers, among contemporary
Americans, in actual knowledge of the
technique of diplomacy.

The MeddIer
''If the coat Eta you. put II on"

Progress lin the litigation involving the
train service on the West River division
of the Central Vermont railroad awaits
Judge Howe's selection of a date for ar
guments by opposing counsel. 1t is to
be hoped that the case will be reached
soon. for it is matter of vital import
ance to the folks who live along the line,
as we'll as to mercantile interests here.
that it be settled one way or another as
early as possible. There can be no doubt
that the so-called service which the G. =.
has been furnishing its patrons since Oct.
4 is repelling rather than attracting trat-
fic. but that is probably just the thing
that railroad officials want to do. Moth
ing would suit them better, it seems, than
to be able to show that there was no bus
mess in the West River valley TO war
rant adequate service.
Although the question of freight rates
is not one of those at issue in the pres
ent controversy The Meddler believes it
constitutes one of the chief causes for
the falling off in business on the road.
On certain classes of freight, it is said,
rates have increased no less than 700 per
cent since 1912, and in view of such
jump it is smaA wonder that shippers
have been obliged TO resort to motor truck
and other forms of transportation. No
intelligent person will attempt to deny
that successful operation of the West
River road is a considerable problem, but
on the surface at least there is nothing
to indicate that the Central Vermont
has made any sincere effort to solve it.
For the past several years its policy has
resembled an attempt to get out of what
seemed to it to be a bad bargain.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on
the outcome of the present litigation,
which may be taken to a higher court
than the one before which it now stands,
but in any event the public throughout
the territory which the road is supposed
to serve cannot afford to abandon it.
$
At one of the conferences on the ques-
ton of service it is said that President
Smith of the Central Vermont offered to
turn the road back to the Brattleboro
& Whitehall corporation and to give IT.
also sufficient motive power and srolling
stock to maintain operations, as well as
free terminal facilities at BrattleborO and
repairs at actual cost. Obviously, the
+. & w directors are not much interested
at the present time in thus releasing the
Central Vermont from what they hold is
a binding legal contract but if the case
should go against them they might feel
disposed to consider this alleged offer
rather than see the road given APP COM
pletely. One thing is certain in this
connection if the road were operated as
a separate unit it would be largely free
from working agreements and wage pro-
visions which, it is claimed, have done
so much to put it in its present condition.

Cooperation in Reviving New England.
BARRE TimeS(


The Boston & Maine railroad and the
| New Hampshire state Grange are back
| of q movement, started in New Hamp-
shire. for turning the attention of the
Middle West back to New England and
particularly to New Hampshire. with a
view to filling up the unoccupied farms
and increasing the industrial activity OF
the state 1t is fine move and patterned
much after that which the state of Yer
mont has been doing for some. years. Co
operation by the Boston & Maine railroad
is also splendid indication of an under
standing of the real situation. The BOS-
ton < Maine railroad knows that its own
salvation, as well as that of the state in
which it operates TO great extent, is
dependent upon the increase in population
and in business of New Hampshire 50 il
proposes to unite its efforts and its money
with that of the state Grange. There
are many other organizations and cor
pOrations in New Hampshire which are
vitality concerned with this movement of
population and business back to New
England; and their cooperation ought
to be enlisted at once. The same is true
of Vermont. In the latter state most of
the effort toward turning people and
business back to Vermont has been car
ried out by the publicity department of the
state government, and fairly effective
work has been done along the line of
sowing the seed in the public mind out
side of Vermont. This publicity depart
ment of the state ought to have its work
supplemented by the efforts of all the
civic organizations and by many of the
corporations of Vermont These latter
should not settle back and wait for the
publicity department to do it all, while
they receive the major part of the bene-
fits accTulng from such publicity. \ con-
certed movement is needed.
