NEW MIDD PRESIDENT
TOO HUMBLE TO SEND
PHOTO OR LIFE STORY

Rev. Paul Dwight Moody OF
New York, recently elected presl-
dent of Middlebury College has no
photograph of himself that is new
enough for publication and is too
humble to talk about himself and
his accomplishment. The Register
importuned him by mail, telephone
and telegraph for picture and de-
tailed account of his life, but in
vain. He is evidently the kind of
man who prefers to do things un-
heralded. The few in Middlebury
who have had an opportunity to
make his acquaintance are unani-
nous in his praise and cite the Won
derful record he made as senior
chaplain of the A. E. F., and the
unusual affection in which he is
held by all who have known him
as assurance of success as president
here. A local young lady who at
tended services at his New York
church last Sunday described the
audience as in tears when he men
toned his resignation to come to
Middlebury.

LOCAL HOSTELRIES
HAD Big SEASON
SUMMER TRADE HAS SURPAS-
SED ALL EXPECTATIONS
Green Mountain Inn Has Registered
765 Guests Since Opening on
Nav 80

The popularity of Middlebury as a
vacation resort may be judged from
the present business of the local hotels.
The proprietors of the Addison and
Sargent Houses, the Travellers Inn,
Betsey Buttles Tea House and the
Green Mountain Inn all report one of
the best seasons they have known.
AT the Addison House the daily aver
age of transient guests has been half a
hundred. Among its boarders are DR.,
George H. Lee and daughter Miss En-
ma Lee of Galveston, Texas, and their
guest Miss Anna Mosle of the same
town who have come to Mfddlebury
to escape the heat of their own state.
The doctor and daughter will remain
until the middle of September.
At the Sargent House there are
twelve boarders, mostly city guests
seeking the quiet of the country,
Among them are the Misses Gladys NJ.
Preston and Rosina M, Kulwupt of
Jersey City, n. J., and the Misses B,
E. Fox, S. Z. Brodhead and H. H.
BrOdhead of New York The daily
tourist average has been sixteen dur
ing the month.
At the Green Mountain Inn in East
Middlebury, which opened Memorial
Day after being closed for two years,
had registered 765 guests to date. The
majority of the guests were attracted
by the menus of the Inn, although even
the boarders have surpassed in number
the expectations of the management.
Al the present time there are F. c.
Partridge and family of Proctor, Miss
Elizabeth Collins of Shoreham, R. H,
Maynard and Miss J. B. Bennis Of
New York, with several reservations
made for the remainder of the season,
The Betsey Buttles Tea House has
done a wonderful summer business,
said Mrs Charles Griffin, more than
enough to, warrant its change OF loca-
tion from Main to Court street A
total of 1897 registrations have been
made to date.
There are many private homes which
extended hospitality to the summer
bOarder during the present season, both
in Middlebury and the outskirts. All
in all, this section of the state, com
paratively near Lakes Champlain,
Dunmore, and Bomoseen, with a real
neighborlness to the mountain beau
ties that are perhaps the chief attraC-
ton of the visitor from other states,
is but beginning to realize its possibili-
ties as a superior summer resort

The New Legislation

tn Sweet legislation aims to climi
nate red tape in the treatment OF the
disabled soldiers. II oentrahzes the
three government bodies dealing with
eX-Service men into single bureau,
known as the Veterans Burclu The
provisions OF the compensation pay
ments have been materially liberliiLed.
Hospital care is assured the veteran
whose disease is traceable to his mill
tary service 1t assumes without proof
that all tubercular and mental diseases
are entitled to compensation. Further
more, liberal reinstatement provisions
are made in the new bill for War Risk
Insurance policies that have been per
mitted to lapse.
The federal committee that viii hold
session here next week will not devote
its work exclusively to the claims al
ready made but will welcome new
claims and rush them through with all
possible dispatch. The American Le-
gion or Red Cross would thank all
persons for information of soldiers re-
fusing to push their rightful claims for

of their disgust with the red tape that
has been previously an obstacle.
Uncle Sam Sincere in Effort to Help
The Veterans Bureau, the new cen
tralized office for the assistance OF the
ex-service men, is apparently sincere
in its effort to atone for the neglect
that has been accorded the efforts of
the veterans in the past through the
ineficency of the three separate bu-
reaus. Previously the soldier has had
TO 90 to the government in his appeal
for aid; now the government is seek
ing him out. hoping to do everything
possible for him to compensate for in
iuries received in its service. 1t is now
up to the veterans to come forward.
Every soldier should bring his dis
charge certificate and all papers per
tanning to his case when he appears be-
fore the committee.

These two took what they wanted which was each other--in defiance of convention, and they paid; not, perhaps, because they defied mans law, but because they sinned against the law of love, itself-they were selfish with each other.
 It is a book that every woman should read, think about, and re- member. "I have been a fool" Jamie writes Grant in one letter, and I hope you win try to forget it--as l shall try to remember it" She was indeed, often very foolish, as most women are in their love dealings with men, and so others can learn from her mistakes.
 The letters, through which the story is told. are often deliciously whimsical and humorous, and they are convincingly human and natural; they do not sound as though they had been written merely to embody the story, but rather as though they were real letters in which a story had been discoverd.
