HELD HIS BREATH
FOR TEN MINUTES

M. De Lalyman. the Frenchman
who is said to be able to remain un-,
der water long enough to shave him
sell peel and eat potato. and drink
wine, appears to have brought the
art of breath control to a fine point
How long he remains under the
water is not stated, bait If he stays
there longer than ten minutes he has
certainly broken the breath-hoIding
record
That belongs-or belonged-to a
student Of the Medical School of
California University, who, in July,
1915. voluntarily held his breath for
10 minutes 10 seconds.
He was under observation the
whole time. His breathing organs
were connected with a kymograph.
which would have recorded the
slightest inspiration.

sylvania, $50 in number. has been
actively engaged In an endeavor to
trace the stolen whisky The bold
ness Of the theft and the amount OF
liquor taken, 70 zoo pint bottles, has
led to the conclusion that the plot
was conceived and carried out by
master minds OF the '-hootlegging'
gang which has been operating in
the East for several months past.
One theory Is that the bootleg
ging" ring had previously arranged
for storage places. and that the
whisky was not taken far from Bal
timore but was placed in caches
within a few miles OF that city.

SEEK AGREEMENT
ON DUPONT TAX
Shareholders and Treasury
Department Reported
Near Compromise
RETALIATION OF
NEW SHARES SOUGHT

WASHINGTON Dec. 1z.-Danger
OF breach between the stockhoId-
ers OF the DUPONT Company and the
officials OF the Treasury Department
over the settlement OF income taxes
growing out Of the transfer offstoclS
OF the New Jersey dupont Company
TO the Delaware corporation in 1915,
which was threatened last week, has
apparently been averted.
A decision from the department
stating how much tax Is due Uncle
Sam Is expected this week. The
Treasury Department officials will re-
ceive moUe data this week conce eSSfh z
certain claims made by stockholders
who have sold their stock. and Gov
ernment accountants and experts
will consider the pleas made for a
revaluation Of the stock between
1915 and the present time.
While some OF the stockholders have
retained their stock intact, many
others have disposed OF their hold
ings. and the latter stand a chance
to have a credit rather than a debit
with the Government II their appli-
cations are granted. Alfred l..
dupont, however. one OF those who
kept his stock, will be the heaviest
loser. II is said, as his levy is in the
teighborhood OF s1.5Oo. 900. Attor-
neys for Mr.. dupont have been
'energetically seeking some way to
reduce this levy.
While no one but Treasury ofH-
cials know how much Is due the
Government in taxes from this ac-
count, 1t has been estimated by at
torneys engaged by stockholders that
the total due the Government fig
ured at the value Of stock now fixed
by the Government. will be between
s1O,oooO,OOO and s15.OO0,Ooo
The suits filed against fifty-seven
stockholders Of the dupont Com
pany to collect income tax for the
year 1915 on the new dupont shares
issued that year are set for tomor-
row in the United States Court in
this city. The suits were filed by Dis
trict Attorney James II. Hughes In
behalf o. the Government.
Pending efforts OF COUNSEL for
some Of the stockholders to obtain
a revaluation Of the stock, which
has been appraised at s3475O a
share at the time OF issue and also
the clearing up OF other points that
have arisen, It is expected a con-
tinuance viii be granted in the cases.

Good Roads in Vermont

Vermont has some good roads that
are a pleasure to ride over We have
in mind the road from Burlington to
Newport through cambridge, Johnson
and Lowell This road is well con-
structed, is wide enough for safety and
is not rough and dusty as most roads
of Vermont are this summer The rea-
son for this is that better material is
available in this part of the state, and
it is also probably true that the traffic
is not so heavy over this road as on
the north and south roads through the
state,
If the material used on this road is SUI
perior to gravel and crushed stone used
on other roads, it would be a good plan
for the state to purchase, conserve and
ship this good material about the state
to places that are in great need of good
surface gravel OF course, if this So
called water bed gravel will not stand
the heavy traffic of motor trucks in the
spring and fall it would be only tenn
porary improvement to use the gravel
on the trunk lines, and the time would
not be far distant before we would be
looking for another solution of the
serious road problem that confronts
the people of Vermont
A great many people are so thor
oughly disguised with the wash-board
and dusty roads in our state this sea-
son that they favor a radical change
in our policy of road construction, to-
wit, few miles Of good permanent
asphalt roads to be built each and
every year without interruption until
two good trunk lines are constructed
the state. Then with good
cross state highways such as the Bur
lington to Newport gravel road, the
state would be we'll equipped with per
nanent roads.
Industry and commercial trade
would be greatly benefited and the
summer tourists would visit our state
II greatly increased numbers. 1t would
)e a pleasure, as well, for some of us
who like to tour about the state to
,njoy the pleasure and comfort of a
good road free from dust and wash
BOARD joltings.

ing the first part of this week. Price
range on Western dressed veal consist
ing almost entirely of heavy sides and
straight calves, has been from $500
Sl200 per 100 pounds. Native veal has

has been poor although the market

Designed primarily for entertain
ment, the annual picnic Of any society,
whether religious or civic or social,
never fails to kindle a new spirit Of
mutual interest among its members.
As a leveler of persons it holds first

regain their nearly forgotten love OF
youthful sports, the Joneses discover

The "Road Hog"

The action Of a Massachusetts town
in marking with plain white line the
center of the highway, to drive on the
wrong side of which would be CON
sldered a misdemeanor or violation Of
the traffic laws, is commendable. 1t
is unfortunate that the idea would be
impossible physically in Vermont The
so-called and omnipresent road hoy
who clings to the middle OF the high
way without thought of the passing
machine that he may and frequently
does force into the ditch, ought to be
held responsible for his selfshness On
the gravel road the motorists guide
might better be the golden rule or the
line squared by his conscience.

General Pershing to Visit Vermont
The people of Vermont will have an
opportunity to entertain the gallant
leader of the American Expeditionary
Forces in France when John ]. Perish
ing visits Rutland September 9TH as
the guest of the American Legion at
their Annual Convention. 1t is the
plan of the Legion officials to hold
their convention in the Armory, and
following this meeting to give the peo-
pie of Vermont assembled at the Rut-
land Fair an opportunity to see real
live General who commanded the
greatest military force the world ever
knew, and at the same time give Cen
eral Pershing a glimpse of a typical
Vermont crowd assembled at a County
Fair. Even if the General was not
very popular with the rank and file of
the army, especially in New England,
he will be handsomely welcomed by
the Legionnaires of Vermont at their
Convention, and will be one Of the
great drawing cards at the Rutland
Fair.

Of the country and help bring back
the normal condition OF affairs in in

the whole nation so much desires. The
Vice-President is right when he states
that the business of the country is de-
