Washington, Nov. 1S-The Arabian Desert, which was always regarded as an impregnab1e barrier to direct Communication between the Mediter- fanean Sea and the Persian Gulf, has been conquered by airplane. accord ing to advtces to the Army Air Ser vice.
 Instead of attempting to cross the desert airplanes heretofore were ac- cuStomed to fly sen1i-circular course around it's northern extremity, there by travelling many more miles than the distance which actually separates the air stations on the eastern and western sides of this endless expanse of sand.
 The route will be 5S0 miles in length. It will pass through Amman in Trans jordania and Kasre1 Azrak, where landing fields have now been estab- Hshed, and then will take an almost straight line across the desert to Ramaslie on the Euphrates, and then to Bagdad.
 The survey for the new aerial pathway was made by the British Royal Air Force, with the co-opera- ton of the Ennir Abdu1la who helped in the building of an advance base at Amman. forty-five miles east of Jeru- salem.
 Gasoline Did It
 A fleet of airp1anes, armored cars loaned by the British War Office, and desert tenders fitted out with wireless
 
 at Amman to begin their advance into the desert. The first 150 miles of the route was located with comparatively little difficulty, but 160 miles from the starting point the pioneers struck a vast tract of rough lava beds. Enor- nous boulders were scattered across this tract. The workers were nearly baf1led in their efforts to get through the lava beds, when word came by wireless from airplanes scouting ahead that a way out of the wilder ness of stones had been found. The ground parties set to work anew and soon forced a passage through ten miles of back-breaking country into the desert again, where the going was comparatively easy.
 A few days later ground connec- tions were made with Bagdad when the armored cars arrived st the emergency ground at El-jid, 300 miles from Jerusalem.
 Operations were soon pushed on from the Bagdad side, and Ramadie was entered soon after by both air and land. Bagdad was entered short ly afterward.
 Work is now going on to perfect the emergency landing grounds, and in making permanent ground organi- zation along the air route.

LEADERSHIP LACK PROVES
 INJURIOUS

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 1S-Eight suffering for lack of leadershlp; 1t Is not attracting to the ranks of it's min istry young men of outstanding gen. jus and character; to secure the best, it must be willing to count the cost and pay the price, Dr. Luctus H. Bugbee, of Minneapolis, told the Ma tional Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church here today.
 "It is greatly to the credit Of Christian ministers as a class that they place their financial compensa- tion last in the order of their inter- ests. Nevertheless a minister can not be the constructive leader that he ought to be unless he is freed from the anxieties and demands of tenn porary affairs At present only about IT per cent. of the Protestant clergy men of the United States receive $1,- 500 or over, the sum recommended by government economies as the minimum needed to maintain fam ceive less than the lowest wage paid in the steel industry. Of the ITO, 900 Protestant c1ergymen, not one pen cent. come within the income tax will fail to secure the best young men for our ministry unless she re- wards them adequately and assure them of a respectable support in old age.
 'rMen of brains and power are not attracted by monotonous ana color less activities of the ordinary routine of church life. They want to see the church coming to grips with practical problems, actually applying the spirit and principle of Jesus to every phase of life.
 There must be adequate freedom. Young men must known that if they are entering into any form Of Chris pered and hindered by ecclesiastical restrictions and regulations. Men are inapatinet just now of denomina- ferences. There must be time to oneself that the Christian message may bear the stamp of that author ity which comes from individual thinking and experience. We must stop handing down ready-made pro- grams from church officials and en- courage the individual leader to ex- press his own initiative in his own program. In the large churches, es- peciaMy, there must be an adequate staff. A Christian leader must have time to think and grow or he cannot keep ahead of his congregation.
 Individual and social salvation certainly go hand in hand and one cannot be divorced from the other. But let the church remember that the task the church Is engaged in is not the saving of a few chosen souls from the wreck of things but the re- demption of the world and the crea- ton of a, new order of society based upon the principles of Jesus.''

Health Talks
 By JOHN B. HUBER. AM; MID.

A man Is known by the teeth that he keeps.
 WHAT TO DO FOR sUPERFLUOUS
 HAIRS
 What is to be done for superf1uous hairs? Depilatories and other hair destroyers are worse than useless be- cause they do not attack the hair roots. Of all the known rem edi es electrolysis only is of any avail. The removal of hair by this method, when it is rightly and skilfully done is without the shadow of a doubt per manent
 The object is to destroy the papilla in which the hair root is bedded. As this papil1a is very small and often placed at an unexpected angle to the skin surface, it is not possible always to succeed at the first attempt. The amount of success after going over the face the first time will vary with the operating physician. According to his skill there will be a return of the hairs of from 20 to 50 per cent. of the hairs removed. It will be necessary therefore, to go over the face a second or third time; after which there will be no return. In some cases. after the dark coarse hairs have been removed, there will be found a number of finer and

Barre Times. }

The Vermonters of Los Angeles re-
Gently put 400 pounds of Vermont maple
sugar into themselves, thereby getting
little of old Vermont flavor although sep
arated from the old state by a continent
The sugar was made in the town of Cabot.
Which fact reminds us that our Vermont
friends who have sought residence in some
other states can do an incalculable good
for their old home state by insisting on
buying Vermont-made products whenever
practicable. For instance, while it may
be impracticable for people in California
to demand Vermont butter it is entirely
practicable for Vermonters residing in
states nearer Vermont to demand Yer
mont butter. There may be no Vermont
butter in the market where they reside
but if they keep demanding it persistently
enough and in sufficient numbers it is
quite probable that the market will supply
itself with Vermont butter if the butter
is procurable. Again, every Vermonter is
"a lover of apples. When they go away
fOndneSs for Vermont apples. There may
be no Vermont apples on the market
where they do their trading, but constant
request for Vermont raised apples will
have a tendency to cause the dealers to
take notice that Vermont produces q
brand of apples of such excellence that
there is a steady, persistent demand for
Jue we near Oh ' eEuUuI turkey
in far away states. Perhaps the turkeys
never stepped foot on Vermont soil; but
the label Vermont turkey is a standard of
excellence. Call for Vermont turkey
When you eat maple sugar you naturally
want to know if the sugar was made in
Vermont, because Vermont is the home of
the best maple sugar. Likewise, when
you begin to think about dying you wish
to have on your grave the most perfect
M m uG1 in
that it is possible to produce so you
ought to demand that the material be of
Vermont granite or marble and cut into
splendid form by the skilled workmen who
have been gathered into Vermont monu-
ment centers, the chief of which is
Barre.
And so it goes through a long list of
products which are either peculiar to Yer
mont or which have reached the highest
standard in Vermont. The industries of
the state are not getting the benefits
which they might expect through this
means of publicity-the efforts of the
NermonterS who have left the home state
for residence in some other part of the
country. Let these peOple-Vermonter
still though they may be many many
miles removed-jOin in a general persist
ent demand for the products which they
know that Vermont turns out. Let them
say to the store keeper that they want
Nermont-made butter or Nermont-raised
apples. Let them tell the monument
dealer that they want n memorial of the
stone from the everlasting hills of good
old Vermont to rest over them in their
final sleep. Let them never be satisfied
until they get the Vermont product. If
they do this they will do their old home
state a fine turn.
Nermonters now living in other states
ought to think this matter over and see
what great deal of good they can do for
old Vermont.

pounds in 1920. Danish butter is also a
serious menace to New England butter.
Investigations show that the cost of pro
duction is from 10 to 10 cents per pound
less in Denmark than in the United States
and that the cost of bringing it to New
York is only ~ cents per pound.
The national committee also made a
vigorous request for protection against
vegetable oils used in butter substitutes.
The wholesale price of these vegetable
oils is usually about % per cent of the
wholesale butter price, but the substitutes
made from them sell for 70 per cent of
the butter price The importation of
these vegetable oils has increased from
50, OOO. 600 pounds in 1912 to 435, 900 900
pounds in 1920. This importation in
1920 replaced the fat production of more
than 1000, 900 cows in the United States.

Can Care for Boston.

After the most careful study of the con-
ditions the New England committee is
convinced that the proposed tariff will not
have any serious effect on the available
supply of milk and cream for Boston and
other large New England markets. There
is plenty of milk and cream produced in
New England to supply the need if all
shipments from Canada were shut off. In
1919 10000 gallons of cream were
shipped from Canadian points to Boston,
but in the same year 4. 100000 gallons of
cream were made into butter in New Eng
land creameries. About the same amount
was made into butter on New England
farms
1t will take a little time TO adjust the
business so that some part of this cream
now being made into butter viii be sold
as sweet cream for the city trade, but
there is a supply available nine times
greater than all the Canadian shipments.
1t is expected that the new tariff will go
into effect late in the fall. This is when
the demands for cream are smallest in the
city markets and it Will be a very favor
able time for the readjustment. 1t is be
lieved by the committee that market con-
ditiOns will not be disturbed by the tariff
and that the consumers will receive the
advantage of having their supply come
from less distant points.
