Mastodcns in Vermont?
@ Western Newspaper Union

The tooth of prehistoric elephant
dug up in Mount Holly back in 1919
when excavation for the Rutland rail
road was being made has been placed
in the Harvard university museum
after having been the property of the
late j. P. Morgan in New York. The
other bones Of this mastodon have
bcen distributed in other places dur
inc the more than seventy years since
they were found. The skeleton of the
mastolon should have rested in the
museum of the state of Vermont at
Montpelier for all time, or as long as
it remained in existence Back in
1849 the Nermonters perhaps did not
realize the Importance of the dis
covery or the significance of the dis
coveIy, as skeletons of mastodons are
rarely found in the northern states.

DIVORCE HITS THE LAYMAN

Divorce, il seems, is no longer
merely fodder for sermons and farce
comedies. 1t is ceasing to be tied up
with Reno as the prize joke of the
twentieth century. The matter is
getting serious. People are point ing
to the fail of ancient Rome. They
are actually being appalled, by sta
tistics. When a preacher decides he
wants TO marry a twice divorced wo-
man contrary TO the "legalized poly
gamy" ruling of the church he finds
that the split of opinion is not on
church and layman lines. A good
many laymen are taking the thing
seriously-not as moral problem
primary, as in the past, but as a
very practical one, the preserving of
the Amer can home and the main
tanning of a proper atmosphere for
the bringing up of children.
The divorce rate per 100000 pop
ulation has increased from 28 in 1870
to 112 in 1916. There were 23,29S
more divorces in 1920 than in 1916.
Between the years 1861 and 1920 it
is estimated that 1,350,000 children
had been made divorce orphans. Cur
rent History magazine, which pro-
vides these figures, states that the
entry of women into industry and
the movement for women's rights
was the starting point for the pres
ent divorce law laxness. The free
ing" of women seems pretty well ac-
complished now and we may well
take a rational view of the divorce
problem together. AS this is writ
ten there comes a news item from
New York stating that the number
of suicides among children has
doubled during the first six months
Of 1921 compared to a similar period
in 1920. Parental neglect is given
as the cause,-Grand Rapids Press.

set in the rear of the heater.
Housekeepers will be delighted
with the Heatrola because il is so
easy to keep clean The polished
mahogany finish can be rubbed and
busted with a cloth just as other fur
niture is handled. No blacking, no
polishing of metal, no rust. Just
beautiful finish like real mahogany,
which harmonizes with the richest
furnishings-smooth as glass and
handsomely ornamental.
The Heatrola displayed in the win
dow of T. Frank Ireland Co. store is
attracting a world of attention. II is
such a novelty that people are talking
about it everywhere. 1t appeals to
everyone-and its legend which says:
Looks Like a Phonograph-Works
Like a Furnace" is creating much
comment.
The Heatrola is manufactured by
The Estate Stove Company, Of
Hamilton, Ohio. builders since l845
of the famous Estate Stoves, Ranges
and Furnaces.-Adv.
The Belding banner-news., 1921-08-31

The Heatroia is so cleverly design
ed and built that it is more than a
stove. II is a regular warm-air fur
mace, a pipeless furnace which will
heat from three to six connecting
rooms. IL does everything that a
furnace will do, keeping your rooms
warm as toast throughout the coldr
est weather.
The Heatrola burns any kind OF
coal-hard or soft, Ignite or slack.
1t is guaranteed to hold fire for 80
hours at one charging.
The big economy argument for the
Heatrola is that it gives furnace
comfort at stove cost.
Physicians are praising the Heat
rola because it circulates warm,
moist air ont'nuously. This is ack-
nowledged to be the healthiest heat
ing method known. Air is taken from
the room, then heated, sterilized,
moistened and discharged through
registers at the top, just like a pipe
less furnace. The moisture is sup
piled by white enameled vapor tank
