y Big Tourist Season Promised.


NcrmonterS .rctuIRing from Florida
tell of the. tremendous activity which
the tourist season now closing i'm that
region has witnessed. In addition to uu-
mcFouS winter residents who's have pro-
vided themselves with homes or secured
permanent quarters in the numerous no
tells, auto touring parties have constantly
appeared from all western AMI northern
states, just as they visit Vermont and
other New England states in the summer.
AltitudlnouS railroad rates are lead
ing families more and more to resort to
the motor car as a means of travel. and
the prediction is made that all records
will be broken by the flood Of tourists to
the Champaign valley and the Green
Mountain region during the season now
opening. The whole country seems to
be bent on pleasure travel, and seeing
America.
Even the high rates of passenger
travel are not serving to keep tourists
from enjoying vacation trips. Agents Of
the great western railways who are in
the East tell of 4 tremendous increase in
questions about routes and other mat
tiers, looking to journeys into that region.
There has been nothing like it since
the war began said ono of them. The
people out in Utah were reading how
everybody had the blues over business
and then last month the mail began to
contain 10 or II letters Il day asking for
rates into the Yellowstone and for inf0r-
nation about the Grand Canyon and Zion
National Park, all OF which arc reached
from Salt Lake City. The railroad or
ganization was ready to abandon the
summer tourist idea. as a big business
item, when the daily inquiries mounted
to total larger by half than last years
There were 10000 tourists in Yellow
stone last wear. and the inquiries already
made indicate that this year 100000 at
least will take in the wonders of this
big national park. Since l have been
here. | have interviewed the heads of the
tourist agencies. and they all report
heavier calls for tours by train than for
any year since 1918. There is n young
woman in Alabama who makes a spe-
cialty of personally conducted tours and
she writes me that she took LOO south
ern people on tour to Niagara Falls
last year and 100 to Yellowstone Park.
She said she was looking forward to a

dull season this year, but, to her surprise,
she has over 200 applications for mem
bership in her touring clubs, and that
the Yellowstone Park applications almost
equal those for the much less expensive
tour to Niagara, and her season for APP
picantS has hardly opened vet
We are wondering why Il would not
be possible for Vermont to organize
agencies of this kind to bring excursion
parties to this region. and thus promote
the interest Of the Green Mountain re
giou as tourist Mecca. In any event.
we shall need to put our roads in order
a. well as our houses. and be ready for
tremendous influx of visitors this sum
mer even under existing conditions.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
THE AGE OF BULLETS

1 sat tonight beneath a tree, to
read some gems of thought, and
passing gunner shot at me. to try
new gats they'd bought; a bullet
hit me in the knee, and l am sore
distraught. Long years ago young
han had guns, as lads have guns
today, but then they sought the
woodland runs, to shoot the stag at
bay, or in the evening brought tons
Of rabbits in a dray. And when
we heard a guns report, in wood
lands or in ferns, we'd say. THE
boys are having sport, they're
| shooting snakes or hens; It's well
that hunters should cavort among
III dales and glens." Now, when
we hear a fire arm bark, we shud-
der and lament, for death, which
loves a shining mark, has gathered
in some gent: some gunman, crea-
ture of the dark, has shot him for
a cen. We know that laws and
things are wrong whene'er a fire
arm booms, since bandits shoot the
weak and strong and fit them for
their tombs and murdered men still
jog along beneath the hearse's
plumes. We have so many laws,
odsfishi for bidding this and that,
but statesmen do not seem to wish
TO squelch the bandits gat: some
buckshot came just now. kerswish.
and spoiled my Sunday hat. Yer
boten" is the sign we see, where'er
we look, by heck! And divers kinds
of liberty are made by law a wreck:
but when I sit meath vine and tree,
a bullet wounds my neck.

flood being cared for?-C. =.

contributed for the relief of the Pu-
eblo flood victims. OF this amount

Disaster Relief Fund, American Red
Cross, Pueblo, Colorado.
O. Why has the third verse of the
Star Spangled Banner been elimi-
nated?-J. 2.
A. Four verses of national hymn
is rather long for frequent rendition,
so it is usual to omit n verse.
The third verse is chosen for omis-
sion because of the bitter feeling
expressed.
@. Describe a zobo.-A. G. B.
A. This animal is a hybrid be-
tween the yak and the bumped cat

western part of the Himalaya and is

for it's milk and it's flesh. 1t resem-
bles the English OK.
Q. Is there a disease by which
negroes become white Pr. F. w.
A. Vitiligo is a disease character
lied by the disappearance of pig
ment from the skin. While COM
paratively rare in America and Eu-
rope, this disease is common in trop-
ical countries. In most cases white
patches are formed, around whose
edges the pigment is darker. Grad
ually the spots c~oalesce, and finally
the white area may cover the whole
body.
@. How was Anne Boleyn's name
pronounced?-J. G. r.
A. Boleyn was pronounced as If
spelled "Bul len" with the accent
on the first syllable.
O. Why are some shoes called
brogues?-J. H.
A. Brogues were originally heavy
course shoes, and took their name
from the Gaelic word "brok" which
meant a shoe.
@. Who was the first Greek mod
eler in clay?-K. M. B.
A. Butades Of Sicyon was the first
Greek to model in clay. The story
runs that his daughter drew upon
the wall the outline of her lovers
shadow, upon which her father
modelled the face of the young a
He then baked the model along with
the clay tiles that it was his trade
to make. This was about 500 B. c.
