seems to have agreed that some sort
Of binder is absolutely necessary in
order to anchor the roads, once built.
If the main highway between Barre
and Burlington had been oiled twice
during the summer 1t wouldn't have
fioated off into the fields under he inn
petus of the sun, the automobile
wheels and the winds. As it was, the
highways were more or less of dis
grace to Vermont during the latter
part of the summer and in the early
fall. Vermont must spend Some of its
highway money in oil if the roads are
to be kept for their normal period of
usefulness.

motorist wanted to drive his car to q
certain place and had no money for
gasoline; so he went to one store and
bought two dozen eggs on credit, and
then he went to another general
store" where gasoline was sold as a
side line, swapping the two dozen eggs
with the storekeeper for gasoline, aft
er which he went on his little journey
quite satisfied with the transaction.
Gasoline acts differently on different
brains; some it adde's, others it
sharpens.

vERMoNT's HEALTHFULNEss.

In presenting statistics of the NOR
tally rate throughout the United
States, in which Vermont shows the
highest of all in "crude rate" the
United States census bureau does well
to supplement the figures with the
statement that "crude death rates by
no means tell the whole story regard
ing the healthfuness Of different To-
calities." As matter Of fact, the So
called adjusted rate drawn from the
"crude rate shows that Vermont is
better than Maine, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island and is not far behind
Connecticut and New Hampshire. The
adjusted rate takes into consideration
various features Of mortality statis-
tics peculiar to each state or district.
In the case of Vermont a great deal
of difference is afforded between the
crude and the adjusted rates because
of the fact that vermont's population
is made up quite largely of elderly
people. Vermont has been drained of
a large proportion of its younger and
more vigorous stock. so that when the
death rate in proportion to population
is figured it shows a higher percentage
than in some of the other states in
which the population is distributed
more normally as between the young
and the old. A large proportion Of old
people die because of the breaking
down of the human machine rather
than because of disease. Therefore,
vermont's high "crude rate" of NOR
tally should not be taken as criter-
ion of the healthfulness of the state.
albeit at first thought the situation
may appear very bad on the face of
the statistics.

As evidence of the better feeling
prevailing among the Vermont col
leges from the athletic standpoint, it
should be pointed out that students of
the University of Vermont sent flow
ers to Capt. Drost of the Middlebury
football team who was in a hospital
suffering from an ailment aggravated
during the recent Vermont -Middlebury
game. II was a graceful act and very
much at variance with the spirit which
prevailed some years back when a
game between the two institutions
was the occasion for quarreling, if not
fighting.

At first thought you may consider
you are absolutely destitute of any
reason for giving thanks, but ON closer
consideration you may find quite a
number of valid reasons why you
should give thanks at this period of

apt to magnify our troubles and over
look our benefits. Therefore, give
thanks for what you have and quit
complaining over what you haven't.
