SELF-STARTER FOR PLANES.
Similar to Car Appliance - Inventor
Il Negro, TWenty-Thrcc.

Middletown, N. Y. Oct. 5. - F..
Douglas Warner, twenty-three years
old, of this city, colored, has received
a patent for the invention Of a self
starter to be applied to airplane mo-
tors.
1t is similar in operation to that of
an automobile starter being worked
by the foot pedal. The starter mechan-
ism is attached to the motor and con-
nected with the propeller hub. When
the foot pedal is pressed the starter
turns the propeller, which in turn
starts the motor.

Interest for the Children.

Editor, Barre Times: Amid daily ad-
vices of selfshness and personal greed
of nations, peoples and individuals
seeking every kind of self advantage
do the parents of our fair state aPpre-
ciate the self sacrifice of so many for
their children!
While the faint of politics of vari-
Gus kinds and shades marks the con-
duct of the schools and educational in
stitutions Of some of our sister states,
here we see ministers, raconteurs, col
lege presidents, representatives Of our
biggest industries, statesmen, even SUI
pervisors, foregoing pleasures and
crowding close on matters that prob
ably urge their attention, that they
may appear before committees. in con
yentions, draft resolutions and work
in divers ways, all because of the inter
est they hold for our children. Wonder
full, if true! One Of the parents,

A Williamstown Case.

Editor, Barre Times; VIII you please
allow me TO correct an item in the
Williamstown Herald in regard TO the
family of Mr.. Carnes of Millville i!
This item stated that two of the fam
ily were sick in bed and no one to
do anything for them but the neigh
bors.
Now this is not true and can prove
e. The neighbors were very good to
come in and do for them, but | am
there two or three times a week stayed
several nights and did most Of their
cooking at home and carried it TO them,
offered 20 take them to my home or
send nv mother 70 hospital But
they prefer to stay in their home as
long as they can, and IL Is not any
hodv's business but their own. A. to
the other person sick abed, she has
been for two or three years.
Williamstown is noted for people il
they get a crouch against anyone to
put a piece in the paper or circulate
circulars around town or country, try
ing 70 hurt someone. But they are
usually found out and 7 don't think
they are thought any more Of for 50
doing. And If they have not got any
thing 70 do but NEEDLE with my af-
fairs would advise them 90 find some
thing right away. The person that
does such things TO hurt others is the
meanpst kind 81 a sneak.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Value of Service.

Governor Hardness expressed some
thing Of truth when he addressed the
legislators of 1917, assembled tor
reunion at Montpelier last week he
said in effect:
81 come from outside the world OF
politics and craftsmanship, and ! now
see that the affairs OF the state nave
been directed by such able men as l
see before me. You gentlemen, with
your experience in the practical side
Of law making, suggest that you have
something on which have missed
out.
II have been cheated out OF the
best part of the training tor puolic
service. and | also see that there is
great value in the bond OF ASSOCIATION
which binds you together. 1t has been
referred to as machine, but | can
now see that the strength Of the bond
comes largely from the strength OF the
service in which you have been asso'
ciated."
Critics may say that the governor
had discovered that elemental truth
rather late in the game but it Is re.
freshing to learn that His Excellency
does not profess to be able to learn
statecraft through inspiration, but Is
prepared to learn it as he goes along
Lack of experience IN public mat
tiers is a considerable handicap. III the
practical side of political service, but
the important thing after all Is TO have
the vision of service and in default
of experience to be willing to learn by
the experience of others.
As one legislature after another
masses before the minds eye in review
il is significant to note the number
Of men, afterward risen high in pub
lie service, who began to represent
the town." served perhaps in the state
Senate and then advanced logically to
state and federal office. ;,
The exceptions are important enough
to prevent us from laying down a fixed
and inviolablp rule, but the chances
are that no student of public affairs
would dispute tho value Of public scry,
ice a. an apprenticeship to high office.

A SICK WORLD SLOW IN
RECOVERING.

1t was stated last summer and tatl
that after the presidential election the
business of the country would pick up
materially. Election came, and there
was no picking up of business unless
II he in scattered instances. Now the
prediction is being made that after
the Inauguration of Harding as presi'
dent the country will begin to get back
to normally. 1t is going TO take
something besides such artificial means
in order TO get the country to running
true to form again. In fact, the Unit
ed States depends to great extent on
the readjustmcnt of the world before
II resumes its industrial and CONNER
cial activity. OF course, the return OF
normal conditions is coming but the
poison injected by war has not yet
been entirely eliminated from the
world. The period of convalescence is
about at hand but the recovery will
necessarily be slow because the world
has been very sick without knowing IT,
The United States ought to be one OF
the first to feel the return OF world

Vermont surely is indebted to the
Boston newspapers which are giving
such generous accounts of the dolngs
of winter sport in Vermont as parti-
cipated in by Massachusetts, people.
The publicity which is being given Is
worth thousands of dollars to the peo-
ple of Vermont. incidentally, Yer
mont is doing something to attract
these people to the state during the
zine when, heretofore, the Vermont
region was considered an ice locked,
snow bound Arctic dreariness In varl-
Gus communities the home folks are
putting on winter carnivals, which are
nroying to be entertaining features Tor
the people who are seeking recreation
and health. These winter carnlVais
are. of course, but part OF the enter
tainment, for the matter of hotel ac-
commodations goes long way in caus-
ing people to make the decision about
the place for the vacation. Without
the hotel accommodations the pro-
grams of winter sports would be OF no
avail; but the combination of the two
is bringing great deal of desirable
business into the state at time when
il can be most easily handled,

Mr. Hoover needs to get rid Of some
of his counsellors who, apparently, are
endeavpring to shape his course for
some contingency considerably in the
future. Service now in a position for
which he was considered well fitted
will do more toward gaining credit for
him than the course advised by some
Of his friends. If Hoover is able TO
give the country good service in the
position of secretary Of commerce he
ought to accept the position and get
into the work enthusiastically. The
friends who are counselling otherwise
may not turn out to have been friends

on the platforms of trolley cars is not
found advisable, especially since the
trolley collision at South Shelton,
Conn, in which eight persons lost their
lives chiefly because of the fire result

for transportation of gasoline even if
the other way necessitates more in

man says: 49,
W. R. Dart, stationary engineer, 4
Glynn Ave. says: I'll have been using
Deans Kidney Pills at different times
whenever my kidneys were out Of
order. If l catch a cold, it settles on
my kidneys and causes them to be
weak. AS a result I have pains in the
small of my back and; feel tired and
languid. My kidneys are too frequent
in action and / often get dizzy and
black specks, float before my eyes.
Whenever | notice the symptoms of
the trouble coming on, | always get a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills and they
quickly rid me OF it."
The above statement was given May
20, 1914, and on March l, 1918, Mr..
Dart said: "The occasional use of
Doans Kidney Pills keeps my kidneys
in good shape. They are the only rem
edy that ever helped me and | am al
ways willing To endorse them"
