THE GIRL ON THE JOB :
How TO Succeed-How to Get :
Ahead-How to Make Good :
by JESSIE ROBERTS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
RAINY TOMORROW

II XPERTS are agreed that sooner
u or later there may be a slump In
financial matters, and that money will
be much harder 10 get than il is now.
Salaries may fall, there may again be
much unemployment-in short, after a
lot of fair weather. rain may be looked
for.
Are you getting your umbrella and
overshOes, metaphorically speaking,
for the wet spell?
In other words, are you laying aside
some of the money you are getting to-
day for the time when you find 1t diff
cult TO make as much?.
No woman in business or employ
ment of any kind should spend her en-
tire income Even with the best OF
luck there is likely to be time when
money Is badly needed, and when a
sum in the bank or properly invested
may be really life saver.
A spell of illness, an accident. q
sudden ponsibility-these things
are apt to come to any Of us, TO all Of
us. To meet them we need more than
the regular sum we make; we need "a
reserve. And 1t is a fatal mistake to
spend your entire income In the full
days, simply because you take 1t for
granted that you will always go on
making as much as you are now, or
even more. You may do so, you may
make more for awhile, and again you
may not. And IL you have never de
veloped the habit of saving part Of
what you make you will be no more
secure when your income grows larger
because you will continue TO spend
II all.
1t is no use counting on ii always
being FAIR AND WARMER for you.
Make sure that some day it will read,
RAIN TOMORROW, and that II Will
be right. BE prepared. And espe
cially now, when the world is in n
most upset condition, and when any
thing may happen, make your own
future as secure as you may by lay
ing something away each week. and
by buying sound securities when you
have enough laid by to do so.

in a field on the Peru bottoms. They
describe the reptiles as thick and blunt
at the head. with slender. tapering bod

turbed they raise themselves up on
their tails like a hooded cobra and dis

Spreading Out.
(Rutland Herald.

Judging by the attitude of the legisla-
ture, some OF the departments in the old
library annex will discover ere long that
the whole Is greater than its part, that
the creator IS greater than the creature,
that even DIR. De Fossctt, chief oblector
to the moveout dictum, will either move
or be moved
All this is very interesting 10 those
who remember the considerable sensation
that followed the erection of the new Ii
brary, court and Office building, called in
differently the supreme court building,
the temple of justice. the new library
building, etc, which was to relieve at once
the congestion in the state-house and pro-
vide committee rooms for the legislature.
Well, the state library was moved out.
the supreme court was moved out, several
important departments were established
in the new building and for about one ses-
sion committees OF the legislature were
not compelled to meet in coat-rooms. lob
bies, in their own chambers OF in various
of the way places.
Then other departments Just comfort
ably spread out-hetween sessions-and
absorbed practically all the new space, en-
croachlng, too, on the old. so that when
the legislative committees began meeting
last week they found half dozen com
mittee rooms for the disposal Of IS com
mittees and the departments coollv ques-
tioning any ones right to ask them to
move out!
AS an eAdElple OF OIilCldl lnlDhQenCg,
nothing quite so striking has developed for
some time, expressed, as The Herald UNI
derstands it, chiefly by a federal officer
in the department of agriculture, who
seems to think that because he is sent to
Montpelier by the imperial Wilson gov
eminent he is bigger than the state of
Vermont!
But these are mere details. and it is
only fair to note that some of the state
house congestion is due to the gradual
and proper-concentration of all the state
departments in Montpelier. The time has
passed when an officer of the state of Yer
mont can carry his office under his hat
or in his travelling bag. He must have at
least desk-room IN the state-house and
he Is entitled to necessary files for his
records, but that Is not all
There has been tendency in all state
activities to spread OUT More scope,
more power, more money, more help and
more floor space-there has hardly been

RHODES SCHOLARS
FROM u. S. SHINE
Take More Firsts and Seconds i'm Honor

CONCORD, y. H., Feb. 5.-A compar-
ison of records which shows that American
Rhodes scholars take more firsts and sec
ends in the honor schools of Oxford uni
versity than the English honors men is
contained in a statistical study of the
work of the American scholars published
III the January number of the American

edited by Professor Frank Aydelotte,
American secretary of the Rhodes scho-
larships.
The study of the Rhodes Scholars rec
ordsawa prepared by Professor r. w.
Bmgtss Of Brown university. In it are col
ected for the first time TacJs concerning
these men, their preparation in the
United States, their records at Oxford and
their careers since their return.
About four-ffths of the men take the
Oxford b. \. degree in one. of the Final
Honor schools and one-ttth take research
degrees. Although the Americans lead the
English honOrs men in Firsts and Sec
onds. their standing Is not So high as that

universities. At Oxford one-half of them
studied law, One-SlNth modern history or
economics, one-siNth humanities including
classics and English literature, and the
remainder studied a wide range OF pro

OF those who had year OF more at Ok

represented Oxford against Cambridge IN

one-fourth are practicing law, more than
ten per cent are III business and the others
have engaged in government service. social
and religious work, medicine, scientific,

Professor Burgess points out that the
expectation of Cecil Rhodes, founder of
the scholarships, or at least oil some OF
the early writers on the subject" was that
the Rhodes scholars would enter politics
lin the English sense" or 20 into the dip

But neither of these lines" says Pro
lessor Burgess. affords a career in the
United States for a man with his own way
to make; the organization of the diplo-
matte service rather than the scholars
or the scholarship plan Is to blame for
this imperfect fulhllment of early expect
atoms -

More Trucks and Tractors.
burlington Free Press


Governor Hardness in his campaign OF
education emphasized the need OF i'm

in order to bring the farmer nearer to
market and to bring farm products to the
doors of consumers in cities and villages.
This subject has not begun to receive the
attention which 1t deserves at the hands OF
our legislators, but we confidently expect
the session will not end without pro
vision for better roads in all these dI'
rections. The interests of both producers
and consumers viii be promoted by this
broad road plan
The present season has been unusual
in the absence of deep snow, but it has
served to emphasize the advantages of be

Gov. HartnesS'S failure to reappoiltt
Hon. Addison T.. CudwOrth as Judge of
the BrattlebOrO municipal court meets
with regret all over the county Judge
CudwOrth has served with ability and to
the entire satisfaction of Iitigants He
has served the state we'll and in accord
ance with the dictates of his conscience.
He gave the court a certain dignity and
inspired confidence in justice. He
proved able. honest. impartial and an
excellent judge of the law. No single
good reason could be advanced by any
one against his disappointment.
The real reason for the appointment of
Judge Stowe lies in the fact that he was
backed by certain politician who has
assumed to be running the state admin
istration so far as this county is con-
cerned, and he seems to be making good
his boast
The great trouble with our municipal
courts is that there is too much politics
mixed with them. The appointment of
judges becomes the football of politics
Justice and politics are natural strangers
They should not be allowed to mix.
1t was hoped that Gov. Hartness
would rise to the situation and make the
appointment. His failure to do so YER
ifies the predictions of those who opposed
him and is a shock TO his friends
On the whole Judge CudwOrth is to be
congratulated. He has served as long
as any man as judge of that court Ser
vice as judge meant sacrifice financially
and otherwise. He can now return ia
the practice of law and not be at all
times subject to call for official duties.

Chinese Medical Practices

In 1916 the Chinese began to vacci-
nate. There were three vaccination
stations in which the concoction was
poured into the mouth. Stone needles
were used to puncture swellings and
the idea was not introduced into Eu-
rope until centuries later. Cauteri-
cation was praeticed by burning the
rolled leaves of a small plant 1t was
held to be good for rheumatism and
nosebIeed. Anesthetic effects were
produced by certain mushrooms and
the root of aconite. Cases of skin
grating are early recorded.

who does not shape his activities toward
that end would not be much good, prob
ably, but his opinion as to the relative
importance of the same in the whole
scheme of the state government could
hardly be unpreiudiced 1t takes some
one, some body, some tribunal with power
to pass on activities and expenditures as
a whole rather than the interested off
cial. to preserve a balance, and this mat
ter of cOmmittee-roOms Is a mere detail
of the whole problem
The time is coming when the people Of
Vermont must restrict public activities
or provide more buildings, more money
and more jobs at steadily increasing costs.
1t is a situation that confronts the legis-
lators of the state henceforward.
