with Picnic Supper by Congre-
gatiOnaI School.

About 125 members of the Centre
Congregational Sunday school enjoyed a
picnic supper last evening from s to 7.30
o'clock on land owned by II. Q. Averill
just south of the Eaton place on Putney
road. The picnic was the result of a
membership and attendance contest, the
losers providing the picnic for all. For
most of those present the roasting of
frankfurters ON pointed sticks was a new
experience, and they entered into the fun
with a zeSt that was both amusing and
satisfying to those in charge of the af-
fair. 1t mattered not if frankfurter
happened to gather to itself few wood
ashes.
The frankfurters with rolls and mus
tard were eaten with very apparent
relish, and besides these the hosts for the
occasion served fried bacon, hot from the
frying pan. doughnuts, cheese and lemon
ade Games were played until darkness
began to settle down. The location was
ideal for the event, and the beautiful
view of the landscape was much appre-
ciated, especially by the older persons.

MAY NAME TAFT

Probable President Harding Will Not
Fill Vacancy at 0nCe-Much
Discussion.

WASHINGTON, May 10. CAssociated
Press.)-The choice of a successor to
Edward Douglass White as chief justice
of the Unqtcd States was one of the
mos widely discussed subjects today in
official circles Although the specUla
ton centered chiefly about the name OF
Former Pres William Howard Taft
there were many indications that Presi-
dent Harding was far from a decision
and might lind the selection a difficult
one All indications pointed to cOnsid-
cradle delay in making the appointment.
The general impression was that moth
ing would be done prior to the recon
yening of the court after its summer
recess, which begins June 6. Mr.. Taft
is known to have been long under con
sideration by President Harding as a
possible chief justice.

bedding and surgical supplies He gave
his audience to understand that it was
very hard to get certain supplies needed
quickly from the government and showed
how the Red Cross, with its means at
hand, could get at once things that were
needed and thereby showed the value of
it's work i'm real cases of need.

Number Will Reach More Than $4,000
This Year-Secretary of State TO Help
Enforce Law Requiring All Vehicles
to Garry Lights.
Secretary of State Harry A. Black was
in Brattleboro yesterday afternoon inves-
tigating some automobile matters. and
one case which he considered was the
automobile accident in Townshend a
week ago last Sunday, when NJ. c. Taft
attempted to pass Fred Burbee and their
automobiles came together. the Burbee
car running into a pole The secretary
of state suspended Mr. Taft's license for
so days.
Secretary Black is devoting most of
his attention to the automobile depart
ment. Work in the once was considera-
| bly, behind for time, for which the own
erS of automobiles were principally re-
| spOnslble. An increased Office force was
| maintained, but thousands of automo-
| bile owners failed to ask for number
| plates and attend to other essential mat
| ters until they wanted to use their ma
chimes, ignoring the warning which the
| department issued some time ago.
| The result was that the Office was
swamped with business and was two or
/ three weeks behind. This work has lust
/ been caught up, and the Office is ready to
respond to requests for licenses the day
they are received or the following day
at the latest.
Upwards of 10000 cars have been
registered thus far this year. The total
number registered throughout last year
was 81 ,625. Secretary Black says the
number this year will exceed $4,000.
| The increased registration has brought
an increased number of accidents, but
most of them have been of a minor char
acter. A good number. however. have
/ been serious, and there have been FIVE

whiskey still in operation recently,
was discharged by United States
Commissioner Hayes today. The
commissioner held that the search
warrant on which the officer obtained
admittanee to his home was defec-

obtained which included the still.
gallon of mOOnshine whisIxey, and
statements attributed to Shaw could
net be used.
When counsel for the defendant
asked for return of the still, how
ever, Commissioner Hayes ruled that
it was contraband and could not be
returned. The commissioner ex-
pressed belief that the fact that the
warrant gave Shaw's name as John
Shaw instead of Louis a. Shaw made
