The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE

 \\<SSHGy From Virginia - came most Of the settlers of the western state. and with them these pioneers
 brought Virginia institutions
 and ideals. It was not until 175O that the first authentic
 journey was made by a white man into central parts of the
 region afterwards called Ken lucky.
 Further explorations showed that this territory held two inn portant attractions for settlers. The first was the great fertility of what was called the Blue .' Grass region. The so-called blue grass, from which this state is n1cknamed the Blue Grass State" is in no wise De- culiar to Kentucky.
 The second inducement for settlers was the fact that there were no Indians living in this. region. It was later found that many rowing bands of savages crossed the Ohio from the north and sorely harassed the early colonists until Clark's expedi- tfons into Ohio and, Indiana checked their invasions. In fact, the name Kentucky is probably derived from the Iroquois word kentka-ke, meaning hunting land" Another interpretation Is "dark and bloody ground" but this is doubtless incorrect.
 The main highways of travel at that time were Daniel BOone's "Wilderness Road" through Cumberland Gap and down the Ohio. Hardy pioneers poured into this new territory in such numbers that in 1792, with the permission of Virginia, Kentucky was admitted to the Union as the fifteenth state with an area of 4O,598 square miles. Kentucky has thirteen electoral votes for president. The re- markable physical condition of its population is shown in a re- port of the volunteers in the Civil war. This gave their av- craze height as nearly an inch taller than the New England troops and with a correspond fngly greater girth of chest. t9 by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate) '

PREPARE SKATING RINKS.
Barre Getting Ready for the Winter
Sports Season.

The continued warm weather is TAX
ing off the final touches of snow, but
the winter sports committee of the
Board of Trade is increasing its efforts
to be ready when winter sets in for
good.
Skating facilities, the first subject
of attack, have been planned in sew
eral localities, work having already
been started on the Fourth street rink
in front OF the North Barre school.
Lumber furnished by the Board of
Trade has been used by Mr.. Ruggles of
the city water department to construct
a dam on the north side of the rink,
and over foot of water is already
backed up When completely flooded,
this rink viii measure about 200
feet square.
Lincoln school campus, already fair
lv well constructed to be flooded when
the time comes, viii be lighted by two
electric lamps suspended from poles,
which have been contributed TO the
cause by W.. II. Ward.
Both this rink and the one at North
Barre have been provided, through the
foresight of the water department,
with pipe connections to the city
mains.
In the matter Of toboggan slides, the
committee is at present held up until
a suitable site is found. T'row hill, on
the north side of Hill street, is the only
location which has been seriously con-
sidered. but it will not be definitely
decided upon until other hills have
been investigated by subcommittee,
composed Of Frank Lee, Clarence Bis
bee and Arthur Averill. Suggestions
regarding possible sites for toboggsn
slides will be welcomed by this com
mittee.
The subject of skating rinks will
hereafter be looked after by sub
committee composed of Sydney Rug
giles, John Heney, Earl Smith end
George Ball.

University of California Wires On for
Christmas Get-together.

Boston, Nov. l9.-"TadH Jones, head
coach of the Yale football team, said
to-day that he was unable at this time
to discuss the possibility of a Yale
California game on the Pacific coast
during the Christmas holidays, as sug-
gesfed in dispatches from Berkeley.
Cal, last night To an Associated
Press correspondent this morning,
Jones said the Yale football authori-
ties were unable 20 give consideration
to such an important proposition with
the Harvard game just few hours
away"
In any case no formal announce
ment could be made Until an official
invitation had been received and care
fully considered He had deceived no
previous intimation of such an invita-
ton. he added.
Coach William Roper, of the Prince
ton team. who was in town for the
Harvard-Yale game, could not be
reached 60 learn his attitude toward
such proposition for Princeton. From
unofficial sources it was learned that
there was little likelihood of the Har
ward eleven accepting the suggestion
for a game with California in the far
west this year in view Of the fact that
the Crimson made the long trip 10
Pasadena to play Oregon less than two
years ago.

COMPLETE BILL TONIGHT.
But Congress May Not Dispose of 1t
Before Wednesday.

Washington, d. G., Nov. l9.--House
andSenate conferees expected to COM
plete to-day their work on the tax
revision bill, but they were doubtful
that the conference report could be
acted upon finally by both the House
and Senate by next Wednesday eve
ming, the time now tentatively agreed
upon by Republican leaders for the end
ing Of the present, special session OF
Congress.
1t was explained that even if the con-
ferees came to fun agreemnt by to-
night, the revised bill and the accom-
panying report could not be put in
shape for presentation to the House
and Senate before late Monday. Under
the House rules the report would have
to lie over one day and az it probably
would not be received until Tuesday
there would be only one day for its
consideration.
Whether opposition to the confer
ence report will develop in either house
will depend upon the action Of the
conferees on the important amend
ment yet TO be taken up.

SENT TO HOSPITAL.
Frank Abair Believed to Be Suffering
From Injuries In Service.

Middlebury, Nov. l9.--As result of
investigation on the part of the local
post of the American Legion, Frank
Abair, the 23-year old ex-service boy,
who was ARRESTED few weeks ago
for entering the Shade Roller com
pany's plant in Vergennes, was taken
to the Mary Fletcher hospital at Bur-
lington yesterday afternoon for an
X-ray examination and observation.
The case of Abair, it is said, is like
hundreds of Others of similar nature,
where ex-seryice men having crimial
records are found to be unbalanced
through injuries, and without the in
vcstigation of the Legion and co-opera-
tion Of prosecuting state officials, would
be sent to penal institutions when they
should really be in the state hospitals.
Young Abair's case is one particularly
in point.
During the war he was aboard
Buena Vista, which was torpedoed. The
torpedo struck the ship within 20 feet
of where Abair was sleeping. lie
climbed to the deck and jumped into
the sea in his night clothes. For AZ
hours he hung to the raft and was
finally picked up and taken TO hospl.
tai in Brest, France, where he remained
for seven weeks. Then he was trans
ferred to torpedo boat. a serious
accident befell him when he was hit on
the head by a davit crank, knocking
him unconscious for several hours.
Abair was taken to a naval hospital IN
America, where he was discharged.
He tells a pitiful story OF his ex-
perience after leaving the navy, finding
himself many times wandering in the
woods. Finnaly he says, he reached
Vergennes and at the time of his ar
rest in connection with the Shade -Rol-
Ter Co, states that for two days and
nights he had nothing to eat but a
crust Of bread given him from work
mans dinner pail. Since his arrest he
has been in the Addison county jail.
with a result that counsel was assigned
The Legion started an investigation
and decision made TO send him 70
Waterbury for observation. When he
was examined last by a doctor and
other Legion men he was in bad condi
tion. and he was found Thursday
virtually unconscious.
