Y. W. DISTRICT
ORGANIZED In
ST. JOHNSBURY
Mrs. III. w. BiOdgett
Heads Local Unit of
State Work

Answering the call of the YER
mont Y. w. C. A. council forty
women met at the St. Johnsbury
House Wednesday afternoon with
Miss Marion Gary of Rutland,
field secretary, TO organize the
st. Johnsbury district of the coun-
Gil, one of five similar units in
Vermont formed for the purpose
Of relating the state work more
council through the various state
with which it is concerned in its
service program.
Mrs. Jonas H. Brooks, president
of the Girls Community League,
and member Of the Vermont
council of the Y. W., presided, and
presented Miss Gary, who gave
report of the work accomplished
under the direction of the state
council throug hthe various state
projects for girls and through To-
cal enterprises like the Girls
Community league of st. Johns
bury. Miss Gary explained the
constitution and it was adopted.
The officers of the st. Johns
bury district as presented by
nominating committee made up of
Miss Grace Rouse, Mrs. j. L. Mel
son and Miss Gary, was elected:
President, Mrs. H. w. Blodgett;
secretary, Mrs. Earl Bradley;
Chairman Of Membership commit
treasurer, Mrs. F. G. Bundy.
tee, Mrs. c. A, Adams of Dan
vile; Finance committee, Miss
Helen Stevens; Girls work, Miss
Lou Fullington cf Peacham.
The st. Johnsbury district in
cludes all the towns from New
port to Bradford, and from Lun-
cnburg to Hardwick, taking in
also the outlying towns in the sec
ton not connected with the rail
roads. This was the last district
to organize and the attendance
was the largest Miss Gary has
had at similar gatherings. The
plan does not change in any
way the present arrangement of
the work but assures the contin-
uance of the present service policy
with the added advantage of clos
cr contact with the women all
over the state who are making the
work possible.
At the conclusion of the organi-
zation of the district plans were
discussed for the entertainment of
the Older Girls conference here
in May. Miss Gary will come to
St. Johnsbury in the near future
to make further arrangements for
the coming to st. Johnsbury of
the 500 girls who will attend the
conference.

WASHINGTON, March o-Rc-
fusal of the U. S. to participate in
the Genoa conference may be
viewed as the first stop in cam
paign of "tactful pressure" to pro
mote economic rehabilitation Of
Europe, it wa said today by a high
official Of the American govern

this official said, as an indic2tion
of the desire of the u. S. to hold

WOMAN'S CLUB
SEES NEWPORT
FASHION SHOW
Mrs. Stevens and Daugh-
ter Register Hit With
Dress Pageant

Mrs. Delmur c. Stevens and
Miss Daisy Stevens as hostess for
the Woman's Club, last evening
registered the hit Of the season in
their fashion show and with the
modrn styles were also shown the
colonial corresponding models. It
was a fascinating blending of the
old and the new dress.
The models came out just as in
a really truly fashion show and
paraded for the benefit Of the in
terestcd audience OF friends and
members of whom there at last
$50 present, and the 1922 models
were as "pcppy' as any ever seen
in the New York Fashion exhibit
Mrs. Stevens and Miss Stevens
are to be congratulated on having
put over a most novel and enjoJ-
able affair. The costumes worn
gave a vivid idea of the contrast
between the Colonial gowns and
those of today.
And in the little prelude which
for Il few minutes we have taken
you back to Colonial days we are
glad. But we do not wish to give
the impression that the heart un-
der the "shimmy' gown is any
less staunch than the one under
the dres sOf 1776, for after all

says that "Thc ColOnels lady and

 A single newspaper succeeded in working the population of London up to a war pitch by a campaign de- manding greater aerial protection, Day after day this newspaper dinned into it's readers that London might be wiped out of eAlstance in a few hours time by aerial raids of the ever-expected next war. The news paper not only succeeded in arousing Londons population but it actually succeeded in arousing the British government 10 increase the strength of aerial defences Of London.
 Few Hope for Peace.
 The hopes against the next war in Europe seem few and far between. 4 few clutch at the league of na- uons as a probable war-preventive. but tie majority believe that it can be and it of little use. oSme mili- tarists are in favor of facing their fears and rebuilding large armies and nayies. But everywhere there seems to be a very definite, although uebulous faith in the Unite States to prevent the ever-threatening next war. No one seems to know just how the United States can prevent the next war. Some argue that wirn the United States in the league Of nations another war would be i'm possible, but this doesn't satisfy many.
 The net result oi t1is fear of the next war and faith in the United States is pretty apt to be a general push on the part of European gov crumeuts 10 get the United States in yoiyed in European affairs, so Jhu, when the much-feared next war doe come tue United States will be in. on whose side nobody knows, but every European wants the United States on his side when the next war comes.

HOW ONE INDUSTRY WAS
 INDEPENDENT OF STRIKE

Down In southeastern Ohio 1t is not much of community that can not boast of a few coal mines. In fact. there is a coal mine on nearly every farm and almost every family has it's own private mine.
 The editor of this paper received a letter from Ohio in q recent mail and in 1t was an account of how one of the family coal mines" above mem tioned was operated during the late miners strike regardless of unions and pickets. One of the many Am erican Sheet Mills was located in a town and two miles distant was a family" mine owned by an old farmer who has five husky sons. The strike came on and one after another of the manufacturing plants in that district were forced to close down fer lack of fuel. Tie superintendent of the sheet mill visited the farmer end asked him if he could mine suf- ficient coal to keep his plant going. The farmer thought he could-and he did He put his five sons to work in the mine and he stood guard at the mouth of the tunnel with an arsenal Of shotguns ready to receive any interfering strikers. The coal was delivered to the factory in autos and the latter never missed a shift all the time during the strike.

SHE'LL SHOCK IS ND LONGER
 RECOGNIZED AMONG ENGLISH

London, Sept. 9.-If Great Britain should have the misfortune to be engaged in another big war. it is safe to predict that no cases of shell shock will appear among her list of casualties. The first recom- meudation of the War Office com mittee on Shell Shock, whose report has just been publshed. is that the term should be cut out of the off cial language.
 War Neurosis" B considered to be the best general term. "shel Shock" is declared to be wholly misleading. because it occurred to patients who had never been even within hearing of a shellburst.
 "It is no surprise to find that the general lay conception of the terms was very loose and iI-form, ed. the committee states. "There was such anxious solitude during the war as to the incapicitated, and such was the appeal of the term shell shock, that this class of case eX- cited more general interest and sym, pathy than any other SO that it ne, came a most desi- able complaint from which to suHer.
 No case of psyGAO-naurosIs, or of
