SUN GLASSES.
Should Be Carefully Selected - ,
Needed If Eyes Are Normal.

Colored eye glasses for use while mo-
torlng or boating or doing ANYTHING in
the sunshine may be as great a danger
as comfort. The mere fact that their
color softens the brilliance of the sun
light or removes the actinic rays does
not mean that all is we'll
1T the wearer has astigmatism, near
sghtedness, or any other form of Vi
sional defect requiring the use of cor
reeting lenses ordinarily. then the coll
Ored glasses should likewise be ground
to insure clear vision and lack of strain.
If there is no particular need of this
sort. il is still essential to have glass
which is clear. If there are defects in
the lens they viii cause trouble sooner
or later, and the slight temporary relief
from sunshine will b. bought at a tragic
price
One prominent specialist SAYS that if
eyes are normal and healthy no colored
glasses are needed in order to face the
glare Of sun, sand or wave If the light
causes discomfort it is danger sign
indicating that something is wrong with
the eve itself
The summer vacationer needs to think
about this a little before he picks ur
any sort of tinted spectacles to use on
his trip.

Crowd of About 5000 Pres

Festivities
DECORATED AUTO
PARADE RESTRICTED
Throng at Mardi Gras Last
Night - Leslie Dimes
Given Auto

Defeat was turned into victory about
noon yesterday, when the warm rays of
the sun pierced through the heavy clouds
that provided a downpour of rain on
Brattleboro all through the morning. and
what seemed like sure failure to the pro-
gram of Brattleboro Post, American
Legion. gave way to success that al
most paralleIed the achievement won by
the post on Labor day last year.
The morning began with a steady de-
scent of rain that brought gloom and
Disappointment not only to the Legion
aires but also to the thousands of in
terested people throughout the county
and the neighboring state of New Hamp-
shire who had planned to spend Labor
day at the big outdoor celebration of
the Legion at the Valley fair grounds
AS the morning wore on, the rain in
creased in volume and by $50, when
the big parade was scheduled to form
at the common, hardly a person was to
be seen in the vicinity and nowhere was
there the least sign of anyone who was
to take part in the parade The only
/ hope of a changes in the weather c0ndi-
tions was given by few intermittent
dicate that the storm was only a shower
and might possibly clear up as the day
advanced
The storm was unusually dilatory in
making up its mind and its deliberation
resulted in a decision by the general
regardless of the rain and soon word
was passed along to those who had
gathered on Main street that the parade
would be held at IL o'clock and the ac-
tivitieS brought to fruition as far as
possible SO at 11.20 the parade
started and led the way to the fair
grounds. Soon afterwards thes- storm
| ceased and from then on things began to
move Lively, people began to arrive on
the grounds until by 2 in the afternoon
nearly 5000 persons were present to see
what proved to be one of the most sue
cessful events of its kind ever held in
this section.
AS the days program had to be staged
in the six hours between noon and d at
night things were in full swing every
minute An endless procession of pedes-
tgians and automobiles soon was enter
ing the fair ground gates; concession
aires lost no time in preparing their
stands; the track, which at noon could
easily have gone on record as the wet
test in New England. soon bowed to the
warming influence of the sun and with
the aid of the motor brush-drag, was
so3n in condition for the horses and the
creased pigs; the grandstand became
spotted with humanity; bags OF we'll
buttered popcorn were shortly omni-
present: everywhere the frowns and de-
preston gave way to smiles and happl-
ness and everybody settled down ana
Joined together in making and having
a real successful outdoor holiday. Not
until the sun had gone below the horizon
did the merriment at the fair grounds
cease. and then the cessation was only
Of short duration. for at O'Clock the

innate Parentage of Wife's
Infant Son
MRS. TIERNAN PIQUED
BY SLIGHT IN CHURCH
Disclosed Her Romance to Husband
While Angry = Sensational Evidence
Promised If Poulin Allows Hearing In
Justices Court This Afternoon.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Sept 5.-Prof.
J. T. Tiernan, instructor in law depart
ment at the University of Notre Dame,
was ready today to present proofs of his
charge that Harry Poulin, local clothing
merchant, is the father of Mrs. Ticrnan's
infant son born last November.
Prof Tiernan obtained warrant for
the merchants arrest last Saturday and
hearing has been arranged for this aft
ernoon in a justice of the peace court.
While Professor Tiernan declared he was
ready to substantiate his charge PouIin
did not reveal what steps he con-
tcmplated.
Intimations came from Professor Tier
nan that if the defense does not waive a
hearing sensational evidence will be dis
closed and Mrs. Tiernan viii be the chief
witness The disclosure of his wife's al
legged romance, according to Professor
Tiernan, resulted from slight by Poulin
to Mrs Tiernan at church one Sunday
after the birth of the baby, now nine
months old.

.PHEASANTSl WINTER
WITHOUT FEEDING
One Which Escaped i'm Whitingham Year
Ago Has Mate and Sesen Young
Increase Near Bennington.

Evidence tending to show that pheas-
ants will live through the winter in
southern Vermont without feeding comes
from Nottingham. T. Elliot Davis,
agent at Nottingham station, had a
hen pheasant which escaped from cap
tiyity more than year ago This sum
mer she has been seen by several people
in the woods west of there. and she has
a mate and seven young pheasants with
her
AIr. Davis out a setting Of pheasant
eggs furnished hy the state fish and
game department, under her this last
spring. and as a result has 10 young
adult male sent him by a friend in New
York. which IS a very handsome bird
and attracts much attention.
1t Is said that pheasants from Alassa-
chusetts have worked into this state for
several years i'm the vicinity OF Ben
nington and are increasing rapidly, con
seqUentlv it is probable that the Young
birds released theis summer BY the fish
and game department in southern Yer
mont viii stand fair chance Of gettln"
through the winter without much feed
ing but farther north feeding prob
ably will have to be resorted 10
quite generally If we have an old
fashioned Vermont winter. The books
say that pheasants viii bud TO some
extent in sections where they cannot
get sufficient feed without. but not to
the extent that partridges do.
The experiment Of stocking fields AM

the sportsmen. and poachers who may

Pheasants are protected until 1882.

The American Legion baseball team
emerged victorious from its contest with

Yarker and Wells hit savagely.
Wells played second in place of F. Dun

boro game Sunday afternoon. Yarker' 5
play on the defense was also of high
difficult chances. His feigned throw to

at first base and Plumb was there with
the goods behind the bat.

SPONGE SUPPLY FAILING.
Demand Increasing but the Yearly Crop
Is Diminishing Rapidly.

Although the demand for sponges for
industrial and domestic uses Is steadily
increasing, the supply is RAPIDLY dimin-
lshlng and cultivation seems to be the
only way OF even approximately keep
ing up the supply.
The sponge has become a necessity
Many efforts have been made to supply
satisfactory substitute, but no one
has yet discovered one that is entirely
adequate. Ioofah and rubber, the most
common substitutes, do not possess the
proper absorbent and resilient qualities
the United States bureau of fisheries is
interested in sponge growing and has
begun the cultivation with satisfactory
results.
1t is said that in four years, cuttings
of sponges viii grow to about eight
inches in diameter and one aud quarter
ounces in weight, and that the sponge
grown on concrete is much more Valu-
able than wild sponge of equal bulk,
the bottom of which in most cases must
be cut away to remove redroot, coral
and sand. The waste part of a wild
sponge is frequently one-third of it's
bulk. Moreover, wild sponges are often
badly torn by hooks in removing them
from the sea bottom.
Artlficially grown sponges have firm
felted, even bottom and are clear of im-
purities In planting sponges. the small
cutting is attached by wire or cord to
a cement disk and placed in the water.
In 4 few weeks the sponge attaches it.
self firmly TO the disk. At maturity,
when the sponge has been gathered
the disk can be used again.
Among the important points in the
American sponge trade are the CaicOs
islands which form the southeastern-
most part of the Bahamas. The sponge
banks in that archipelago are about sc
miles in length and 10 in breadth.-Kan-
sas City Star.
