SUCCESSOR TO DIR. LAYTON.
DIR. Horace G. Ripley Engaged by
Trustees at Retreat-WilI Come Here
About Oct

ftUOub WV
The trustees of the Brattleboro Re-
treat have engaged Horace G. Ripley,
M. d., to succeed DR.. Smaller II. Law
ton, resigned, as superintendent of that
institution and consider themselves very
fortunate in being able to do so.
DR.. Ripley was born in Maine April
"a, 1872; received high school educa-
ton and then a special course. Of in
struction in Latin and French. When
% years of age he entered the Train
ing School for Nurses at the Taunton,
Mass. state hospital, where he remained
six years and graduated in 1898. He
soon afterward decided to become a
physician, and in 1900 was enrolled as
a student at the University of Maryland
School of Medicine, where he graduated
in June, 1904.
After DR.. Ripley's graduation he re-
turned to the Taunton state hospital,
having received an appointment as as
sstant physician there, which position
he held until December, 1906, when the
trustees, of their own motion, promoted
him to the position of senior assistant
physician, which position he occupied
nearly three years, when. in September,
1909, the trustees promoted him to the
Office of assistant superintendent. DR..
Ripley performed the duties of this of
fee to the great satisfaction of the Off
GERS of the Taunton hospital II years,
when, in September, 1921, he was ten
dered and accepted the position of SUI
perintendent of the Boston psychopathic
hospital which he now resigns to as
sumo the superintendent of the Brattle-
boro Retreat about Oct. /, next.
DR.. Ripleys special study, from his
graduation from the university in 1904
until 1921. was neurology and psychi-
airy. During the last year his work
has been administrative, so he comes
here exceedingly well qualified for the
treatment of mental diseases and for the
important duties of administration. He
comes with DIR. Lawton's hearty ap-
prevail and strongly Endorsed by the SUI.
perintendents of several other New Eng
land hospitals, including DIR. w. n
Thompson of the Hartford Comm Re
treat. Many readers of The Phoenix
will remember that DIR. Thompson was
one of DR.. Diapers assistant physicians
and that during the first - years OF
DIR. Lawton's superintendent he was
his first assistant and rendered hin
most valuable service and was also al
esteemed citizen of the town.
1t is an interesting fact to relate tha
in the Retreats SS years of corporal,
| existence it has had only three superin
tendents-Dr. Rockwell. Al years, DR.
Draper. IS years, and DR.. Lawton, 3
years after 10 years service as assist
ant physician.
The Phoenix bespeaks for DIR. Rip
! ley Il long and prosperous administra
| ton.

VAUDEVILLE BEST
In FAIRS HISTORY
Expense Not Spared by Associa-
ton Officials
Five Acts from Keith Circuit, Including
Boxing Kangaroo, to BE Shown Be.
tween Races.

BOXING kangaroo, to BE Shown Be-
tween Races.
No expense or effort has been spared
to secure the finest attractions available
for the vaudeville program to be pre-
scented Mt the Valley fair on Tuesday
and Wednesday, the Goth and 9th of
this month. G. l.. Stickney. president of
the fair association, made the final ar
engagements yesterday, and contracts
have been closed with the Il. Il. Keith
vaudeville Exchange of Boston for five
acts which represent the best on the
circuit.
1t has always been the policy of the
talr management to secure only those
vaudeville attractions which measure up
to high standard, and from the recon-
mendatiOns which have been received
tins year the vaudeville acts to be pre-
scented at the coming fair will far sur
pass all previous exhibitions.
There will be five acts, and the pro-
gram will be presented twice daily be-
tween the racing heats. The attractions
are headed by the Canton Five, a group
of five Chinese, three men and two
women, who present a startling and
spectacular Chinese variety act Intri-
cate juggling, in which the Orentals
are adopts, as well as fre-eating and
hanging by their cues are only few of
the stunts with which the troupe will
mystify the audience. The performers
are very beautifully costumed. and judg-
ing by the laurels which this quintet
has won at other exhibitions this act
will be prominent feature of the pro-
gram.
Gordon Brothers and the Boxing Kan
CARGO will be awaited with interest and
curiosity by everyone who is planning to
attend the fair. The great attraction in
this act is, of course, the Kangaroo
which it may be said is a real, rare,
live kangaroo. This is the first time that
any such trained animal has been Sc
cured for the Valley fair, and this part
of the program is sure to make a big
hit.
Peters and Lebuff will appear in n
comic acrobatic act in which these per-
formers are high lights in their profess
sion. Some of the best aerial work ever
seen at fair will be presented by these
two comedians.
Reckless Duo and Sylvia is the title
of mystifying act which is said to be
thrilling to the last degree. 1t consists
of several daredevil stunts which are
new to the vaudeville stage, and is GER
tain to be one of the feature acts of the
program
The last act will be performed by the
two Butchers, novelty especially
adapted for presentation at county fairs.
Instead of being presented on the regu-
| lar vaudeville stage this performance
will take place on the track in front of
the grandstand. An explanation of this
! act would not be opportune as it has
several surprises which must not be re-
leased until actually presented. 1t will
suffice to say that the act is quite wide
in scope, two horses being necessary for
the presentation.

JUSTICE SANS MERCY

TAKING short-sighted view, 8
= prominent periodical remarks tina,
Attorney General Daugherty and
President Harding seem to have com.
mitted very grievous offense against
the welfare of the country by the free.
dom granted Debs." We cannot agree
with this. 1t is true that immediately
after his release, Debs started out on q
TRADE against every man who has been
successful in his business Undertakings,
but we do not observe any i'll effects
from this new onslaught. In fact, we
observe the opposite effect. The coun.
try recognizes the fact that Debs was
guilty, that he was justly convicted and
that he was properly sentenced and i'm
prisoned. 1t also realizes that because
of his age there was nothing improper
in extending clemency by committing
his sentence-an act of mercy.
The country expected that upon re-
ceiving this favor at the hands of the
government he had so grievously
wronged, Mr.. Debs would maintain b
decent silence. His failure to do so has
aroused new antagonism toward the
policies advocated by Debs and his
associates. The more Debs talks now,
the worse it will be for Socialism, for
even Socialist has sense of pro-
priety that makes him lose respect for
a contemplate migrate. Even an in
dividual as impractical as a paror
socialist will dislike to be classed with
Debs hereafter. 1t is true that Debs
went forth unrepentant to continue his
warfare upon the government, but
every speech he makes against the
government arouses the good people of
the country to renewed activity in de-
fense of constitutional and orderly gov.
ernment against all it's enemies. With
the example of Debs before US, it is
safe bet that no other agitator against
government will get any mercy either
before or after conviction. Justice will
be meted out with unsparing hand, and
any enemy of government who resents
the blow that falls'upon him may very
properly bestow large measure of that
resentment upon Debs.
Our government, speaking through
President Harding, indicated it's desire
to temper justice with mercy, but the
enemy of government will not have it
so. Very well, then, let them hereafter
have justice without mercy.

Restoration Worth While.

Why build new cottages? Why not
repair old ones? These were the ques-
tions asked by the Society for the Pro
lection of Ancient Buildings, in Eng
land, and answered successfully. The
society took veritable relic of old
England, five centuries old If a single
day, in the shape of two dwellings un-
der one roof at birthstone, in Suffolk.
The thick timbers, seasoned to the
quality Of iron, We're good, but the
roof, the floor and the windows were
defective. In fact the building was
habitable only on portion of the
ground floor. Nothing daunted, the So
ciety set to work and, by judicious
restoration, made the old dwellings as
sound as bell The total cost of the
work, including the freehold site, was
$3,612. A new cottage would have cost
at least $4,750, not including the site
Is 1t any wonder that the society is
casting round for other old haunts to
onquer?-Christian Science Monitor.

PLANT INDOOR WINDOW BOX
Small Expense and Little Effort Re-
quired to Have OrnamentatIon
Always Pleasing.

To the real garden lover the charm Of
the garden can be extended all through
the winter months, for window gar
den gives cheer to a room and is al
ways a source of interest and delight.
Window boxes can be kept charming
for the entire year by filling them with
hardy begonias and ferns, suggests the
Christian Science Monitor. Another in
teresting arrangement, all in green, is
of small palms and ferns Of the long
leaved Boston type, and asparagus
sprengeri to trail over the edge. Prim-
rose, the Chinese or common variety,
and Irish ivies make a window box
with delightful color note. For late
autumn, If the room is kept cool, some
of the darling little chrysanthemums
in brown and yellow are effective and
they will last several weeks. For the
late winter or early spring Towering
bulbs may be used among ferns.
In planting a winter garden one
must always remember that plants do
not thrive near steam heat, and If the
radiator is under the window a broad
shelf should be placed six inches or
more above it and the box set back on
the shelf, so that rhe force of hot air
does not come too near the foliage.
The small expense and the little eff
fort required for beautiful indoor
window box makes it possible for
every home-loving woman to have one.
