Rear Admiral Thomas Snowden. T. s.
n, who will be placed on the retired list
today on account of age, leaves behind
him a splendid record of service on sea
and land. His naval career dates back
to the early '70s, when he was graduated
from the Annapolis academy. During the
interval between that novitiate and his
gaining his present high rank he had the
usual tour of the different fleets and i'm
portant assignments on shore His last
sea- duty was in command of the battle
ship Wyoming, in 1916. The Newport
War college and the photographic De
partment at Washington have profited by
his special assignments to service in their
behalf. For some time past, until relieved
quite recently, Admiral Snowden had
been serving as naval governor of San
Domingo and United States military rep
resentatiye in Haiti

boy, I've smelt some CRATE smells before
but never smelt eny as CRATE as that.
Well I'm glad you injoy the smell be-
cause that's about as mulch as you're going
to get of it, sed Gladdis
Being a hint that l wasent going to

watts more if there was a contest of every

Slaves of Fashion?
est. Adams Messenger. J

A review of conditions in the shoe
trade recently published says that there
is noticeably Il tendency on the part of
shoe designers to follow the lead of the
milliners who, by resolution, have de-
cided to change the styles once a month
so that a woman who would not be hope
lessly out of style must purchase - hats
year. If hat, why not shoes, ask the
shoe designers. But that isn't the queS-
ton. Why y hats a year. ask the men
who have to do the paying. They will
ask it twice as loudly if shoes join the
hats in their frequent changes. Style
alterations account for a great amount
of waste in this country, and when the
changes are so frequent that a proper
amount of use is not obtained from the
material it borders on the criminal This
country is in no condition to warrant this
kind of senseless extravaganza. A woman
who insists on having a new hat every
30 days should be turned over to an ex-
pert wielder of microscope that he may
determine the extent of the vacuum under
the hat. Z

There is really good ground for belief
that the Connecticut river bridge will be
ready for use by the latter part of Sep
TENDER. The 18th of that month is the
time when the construction force officials
predict they will be through with the
structure and if they live up to sched-
ule that will allow the towns of Brat
tleboro and Hinsdale approximately two
weeks in which to lay a plank flooring
in time for use during the Valley fair.
Certainly it is to be hoped that the bridge
will be done by that time, for with the
Bernardston road blocked by federal
highway construction and the Putney
road closed for a like reason there are
altogether too few ways of getting into
Brattleboro at the present time and at
tendance at the fair would be likely to
suffer as a result. '#."'
1t will be a matter for real regret. by
the way, if upon completion of the Put
ney federal highway this road is not
properly oiled and taken care of. This
project bids fair to be a really fine piece
of work so far as the construction end
of it goes, and it certainly will be
shame if it is allowed to deteriorate for
lack of maintenance. As nearly every
motorist knows, most ''washboardy"
roads are the result of their becoming
dry and dusty and losing thor surface.

Before recommending Fred L. Davis
of Hartford for appointment as United
States marshal it might be well for the
Vermont congressional delegation to
make some inquiries concerning his
course as chairman of the Hartford Sc
lectmen during the recent threatened
troubles at the Wilder plant of the In
ternational Paper Co. Possibly it is not
open to censure, yet it is our recOllec-
ton that it was Mr.. Davis who wired
the International president not to send
any more ke-breakers to Wilder,
when efforts were being made to operate
the Wilder mill in the face of the strik-
ers' refusal to work. and it strikes us
that is a peculiar attitude to be taken
by a public official, particularly one who
aspires to have charge of the enforce
ment of federal law in Vermont. Every
fair-minded person recognizes the right
of employees to strike, although the wis
dom of exercising that right is frequently
open to question, but it seems to us there
is no justification for the contention that
employers shall not be allowed to operate
their plants with Independent labor if
they wish, and furthermore be given ade-
quate protection. There are but two in
terpretations of Mr.. Davis's attitude, as
indicated by the aforementioned tele-
gram. Either he doubted his ability as
town official to protect town property,
or questioned the right of the mill-own-
ers to send strike-breakers into town.
If the first is true, he lacked courage !;

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots
How TO Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face, to
try a remedy for freckles with the guaran-
tee of a reliable concern that it will not
cost you a penny unless it removes the
freckles while if it does give you a clear
complexion the expense is trifing.
Simply get an ounce-of Othine-double
strength-from any druggist and few
applications should show you how easy it
is to rid yourself of the homely freckles
and get beautiful complexion. Rarely
is more than one ounce needed for the
worst case.
Be sure TO ask the druggist ior the
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarantee of money back if
it fails to remove freckles.-Adyertise-

We're putting the ''saturation point at
100000 cars. That is, they did not

Grafton. Col Leonard P. Ayers. writing
on The Automobile Industry and Its Flu
ture. raises the saturation point to 30
100000 and prophesies that that mark
will be attained in 10 years.
The automobile industry is only about
- years old. In that time there have
been made in this country, he says, H.,
10000 cars, of which 100000 have been
exported and 100000 have worn out.
Thus there are now about 100000 cars
in commission in the United States. Last
year the production was about 100000
of which one manufacturer turned out
nearly half That manufacturer. need
less to say, was a maker of small cars.
1t is along that line that Colonel Ayers
foresees the greatest expansion. The

and with them it is mainly a question of
replacement.

new users of automobiles will largely
be people of limited means who will pur-
chase inexpensive cars, others having
been previously supplied
Twenty million cars-think of it,
More than twice as many as there are
now. They will clutter up the streets

care of them. BY the time the country

have been virtually remade and transpOr-
tation will be on a very different basis.
And nearly everybody will have a car.
There will be- almost one per family.
Only the very poor need go without, in
all probability. For though the growth
will be determined a good deal by the
general prosperity, it is likely that cars
will become cheaper right along.
And why stop at 20,000,O00 or a car
for every family? 1t is coming about al

cumstances feels cramped along trans
