The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1922-01-07

New England is noted, one might al
most say notorious, for its climate There
is wsather here and plenty of it. At
this mid-winter season, with temperature
in Brattleboro ranging from below zero
to about 20 above, the resulting snow and
ice make conditions almost ideal for
winter sports. Bracing winds from tire
nor.h and west bring roses to the cheeks
Of our pretty Vermont girls. and a full
measure of health to the multitudes par
ticipating in the various outdoor actiyi-
tie.
How is it then that one reads, perhaps
with sentiments of yearning, the profuse
advertisements in the daily press, state
ments such as Summer time all the time

long YOUR life. Save coal bills. Winter

statements such as: Crisp, cold weather

tition and snowshoeing; weather condi-
tions ideal for skating. coasting and
sleigh part ic-."
WHATS to he done about it. the reader
wonders: If one were to believe the
printed words of the Florida advertisers,
then indeed would life at home be I'M
endurabIe On the other hand, if every
thing SAID about the crisp New England
weather Is true. who in the world would
be so brainless as to 20 to Florida and
miss it all?
No wonder the reader is perplexed.
1t would seem that the newspaper adj
vertisers do all in their power to perplex
the public. while as ii matter of fact it
is nothing of the sort. They offer the
public two varieties of weather. each
ideal in its own peculiar way. The pub
lie can take its pick and not go far wrong
on either selection.
However, in making the selection the
public should consider that Vermont

connection the Everything Free =

comparison with modern machines they
are as antiquated as the first hOrselesS
wagons. However. it took nearly a gen
Grafton to perfect the automobile. while
airplane development in big way has
been accomplished within few years.
News dispatches from Paris tell of
ingenious devices perfected to control the
operation of pilotless planes. The opera
ton is automatic by means of radio
waves. and the tests in France were
successful The airplane. being started
by the mechanic, ascends automatically
after il attains sufficient speed. This Is
accomplished by Increasing revolutions of
a small fan located between the wings
which puts into motion a mechanism
which, in turn, places the control surfaces
of the machine in position for ascent.
Once in the air. the plane is made to
circle the flying field and descend. being
operated by wireless.
The descent is accomplished by press
ing a wireless key on the ground, which
releases beneath the plane a roll of wire
with a weight at the end This weight
switches off the engine and moves the
control surface into position for descent
and smooth landing. In one of the tests
the airplane was operated for an hour.
1t carried a pilot who took no part what
ever in its operation.
After reading of such achievements one
easily realizes that the possibilities of air
navigation are tremendous, with an un-
limited field still open to the scientist and
inventor for perfectihg further devices
and most of all, making flying truly
''fool-proof." The biggest drawback of
the calling today is its danger. When
this is eliminated, truly marvellous ac-
complishments may be expected.

PUBLIC SERVICE THAT SERVES

\ acwiy installed mayor has begun the
civic housekeeping which he promised his
electors right in the city offices.
Come on in; take only your allotted
time at noon work while you are on the
job, and leave on time-these are among
the rules he has laid down for his SUD
crdinates and which he expects to ob-
serve Limself-all but the leaving on
time. 1t is a sort of discipline which is
too frequently lacking in civic administra-
ton.
Another requirement for the public en-
ployee under this mayor is that while the
incumbent is on salary from the city he
shall give no time inside or outside of of
flee hours to the prosecution of private
business.
There is a growing understanding that
the reason why government usually costs
so much in proportion to the service it
renders is that it is not run on ordinary
business principles. The official who
remedies this condition for his munich
pality reads the handwriting on the wall
Alright, and deserves the confidence and
support of his fellow-citizens.
