Overcome dashboard"

In about another month, if plans of the
Fallkill Construction Co. do not fail, the
federal highway project through the town
of Dummerston, between the Brattleboro
and Putney boundary lines, will be COM
pleted. The detour signs, which have
marked a detoEr several miles in length,
were removed today, and hencefOrth the
entire road will be open to traffic.
State Highway Commissioner Thurman
w. Dix of Montpelier was in Brattleboro
this forenoon, having come here to look
over the Dummerston project and the fed
eral project on the BcrnardSton road in
Guilford, ard he went to Guilford this
forenoon. He planned to reach Rutland
tonight travelling by automobile.
Commissioner Dix said seven teams
and seven automobile trucks were en-
ployed on the Dummerst0n project and
that the contractors planned to put on
two more trucks and more men at once.
The trucks are expected tonight.
The cost of this job, Commissioner Dix
said. would reach about S150000 which
is $4,000 or more in excess of what was
figured at first. This is due to an unex-
pectedly large amount of rock excavation
which has been necessary. The commits
SiOner expressed himself as being well
pleased with the workmanship on the job
and said the contractors would repair the
south end Of the road. which has been
open to travel for some time and is show
ing the familiar ''washboard' surface.
Speaking of the "washboard' surface,
Commissioner Dix said the highway de-
partment was very hopeful that the ex-
periments being made with calcium chic
ride in different sections of the state
would prove successful. This is q dust
layer which comes in the form of crystals
and Is scattered over the road by machin-
cry. Ii is believed this will eliminate Ia
large extent the ridgy surface common
on dry gravel roads.
| Each of the 10 highway districts in the
state has been furnished with enough cal.

placing the Irish delegates on a par

small and dainty. And Spring gave 1t
cup.
Off flew the messenger, twittering
with joy and pride. But when it was
far north it saw a bit of bright blue
high in the air. That was where the
blue sky, impatiently waiting for the
deliverance of the sad old King, had
torn away just a tiny corner of cloud
and was looking down slyly.
"Oh, beautiful slzyl" cried the little
bird. II know that 1 should not stop,
tut I must look at you and sing just
moment"
And it sang. The green cup fell to
earth, and became blue as the sky.
SO did the little bird. That is why
the bluebirds always come ahead or
Spring now and why the iris is so
blue and beautiful early in the year.
"There is none left now, little
Spring, to bear the great message
said the Sun sadly. "There Is none
left now, and the old King must live
on and rule the world"
"Do you think that 1 could bear the
great meSSdSe! dShtQ u INV 'Of~>.
1t was woman.
"You?" said the Sun. ''You are
weak and not brave and strong like
the man, or mighty like white tiger,
or swift like the eagle. What could
you do, when they have faiIedT
"Let her try" said Spring. And
she formed another green cup and
kissed it and gave 1t to woman.
Woman departed full of fear. She
did not run like the man or sing Hike
the bird. But, since she was afraid
and humble, she prayed
Weeping and bleeding, she came at
last to the palace where the sad, old
white King sat waiting. And when
the woman appeared in the portals
with the green cup, all the gray geese
and the white ermines set up cry
that echoed through the world. II
was like glaciers rolling headlong into
the sounding sea; It was like ava
lanches shivering below; it was like
the southern storms that break the
ice; 1t was like grinding bergs and
shattering foes.
That is the cry that rings around
the world every year now, and when
men hear it they say: "Winter is
breaking up"
The old white King arose with a
glad face and reached his wrinkled
hand out for the green cup. He
pressed it to his face and inhaled the
smell of the growing thing. And in
a moment it turned white-snow
white.
SO the Easter lily became white.
And whenever the world is waiting
for a great message, all things are

"King of the world" said the great
est gray goose, ''far, far away a child

places in the air / saw it once, a
green plant hanging over it. And
heard a tale that when the child was
ready to release you, the green plant
would be sent to you as a token"

then, oh my heralds, and cry aloud
that / am weary and would rest. Call

Swift and straight the gray geese
drove their great wedges to the south,
where the green plant stood. There
sat a girl, beautiful and gentle, with
bright hair, and eyes that were the
only blue thing In all the world, for
the sky was not blue then, but gray
and dark.
Clamoring from the mighty threats
rose the message of the sad old King,
waiting for his deliverance in the dim
north.
At the sound, there was a flash as
of a far-off white fire. That was the
Sun, waking up and rubbing his fam
ing eyes. The white beam fell on the
girl and said: Rise, little Spring. 1t
is time, and you are called to rule the
earth"
The girl arose and there was a
sound as If the little waters had
begun to leap and splash. The girl
stopped and picked long, thick green
leaf from the plant that had sheltered
her She formed 1t into a deep cup
and kissed it.
"How shall l send it to old Win

"Send it by man." said the Sun.
'He is tall and strong and will bear
