FAILURE?

+ The failure Of the Vermont legis-
lature of 1921 10 accomplish much in
the way Of progress is to be lamented
but il is not surprising On the whole
il made a little better record than the
/ legislature Of two years ago and its
timidity in action saved II from some
bunders that seemed to threaten.
Looking back over the sessions Of
the past twenty years 1t is seen that
only occasionally has Vermont legis-
lature risen to its opportunity-not-
ably In 1906 under the leadership Of
Governor Proctor and in 1912 when
Governor Fletcher by force and per
sistenee held the legislature in session
until II finally found itself and made
the best record of any session in the
memory Of the present generation.
II is not always the legislature with
the highest average Of ability that
makes the best records.
The legislature Of 1908 probably
contained the most strong men of any
Vermont legislature in fifty years but
its record Of actual accomplishment
was small. and in no way comparable
to 1910 or 1915 when the average Of
ability was considerably less.
Every Legislative membership is in
elined to resent talk about leadership
but the good or bad records made byI
the legislature depends almost entire
ly upon the leadership they are will
ing TO accept.
This years legislature contained a
rather exceptional number Of fine men
but too often they were overwhelmed
by the narrow vision or lack Of cour-
age on the part Of the majority when
the larger issues were pending.
A legislature in which the small
towns make an issue Of fighting the
larger towns has a wrong conception
Of the future Of Vermont and this was
one Of the mistakes Of the recent ses-
sion.
IL would be just as unfortunate /
were the larger towns able to have
their way at the expense Of the small
er towns as happens too often in New
York and some of the other states.
The future welfare Of the State Of
Vermont requires the healthy growth
and natural progress Of both the small
and the large towns. 1t is only in the
vision of men of small views or men
Of little experience that the interests
Of different classes Of towns seem to
conflict
Unselfsh service for the whole
State of Vermont should be the watch
word of Vermont legislature.-Ben-
lington Banner.

WHY
Average Persons Lung s
Are Seldom Filled

Among the first things that We learn
from a good singing teacher Is thai
We have been using about One-half OF
perhaps only one-third of our avail
able lung capacity, leaving the bal
ance untouched The average person
does not know anything about the bot
tom half Of his lungs-he might a.
well not have any bottom half. II
you tell him to take deep breath. he
starts. as usual. TO hll his lungs from
the top, and his deep breath is no
deeper than his shallow one; It mere
ID involves lot of effort for substan-
tally the same result The trained
singer or athlete. Oh the other hand
when about to indulge In a deep
breath. builds up the mass OF air In
his lungs more or less Ike a pyramid.
He starts at the bottom and works
up; the central and upper regions Of
his lungs are not inflated until the
bottom Is blown up TO the limit
