I'm AUTO CRASH
ON WAY TO
VISIT SISTER
Miss Sperle of Iowa Finds
Her Sister More
Comfortable

Miss Henryetta Sperl, the Bur
lington young lady who was NOV
ed to BrightIook hospital in a crit
ical condition last Friday morning,
is reported very much more COM
Portable this morning. A sister of
Miss Sperle, Miss Sarah Sperle Of
Council Bluffs, Iowa arrived at
about midnight last night after
meeting with very adverse condi-
tions during the twenty-four hours
preceding her arrival.
Arriving in Springfield, Mass,
at late hour Sunday afternoon
she found that she could not OBJ
tain train to St. Johnsbury until
late in the evening so procured a
taxi to take her the remainder OF
the distance. As the big Cadillac
in which she was riding, was pass
ing through the Main street Of
Norwich, VT, about ten o'clock
last evening, the driver, George
Lcary of Springfield, saw car
coming toward them in the dis
tance and on the left side OF the
road. Leary continued on his side
of the road until the car was with
in fifty feet of him when thinking
that the driver could not see him
he swervcd his car over to the left,
and at the same time George Sar-
gent of Norwich, who was driving
the Dodge car which was APP
preaching, decided to get over on
the right.
In consequence there was a col
lision in which the bumper of the
Dodge connected with the right
front wheel Of the Cadillac bend
ing the axle and fender. After an
exchange of compliments by Lcary
and his assistant, Howard Porter,
and Sargent, Leary was able to
drive the car the remainder of the
journey under its own power and
place it in The Goss garage for re-
pairs.

BIG LEGION
CONVENTION AT
new ORLEANS
Held at Scene of Andrew
JacksOn's Fight with
British

NEW ORLEANS, La. Oct. 16-
The American Legion opened its
national convention here today,
within a rifle shot Of the historic
square where Andrew Jackson
mustered a sharpshooting army Of
frontiersmen and Gulf pirates to
fight British veterans fthc Napo-
leonic wars, somewhat more than a
century ago.
New Orleans, graceful product
of three civilizations-Spanish,
French and American-made it,
guests welcome, and in thC mar
row streets and wrought iron bal
comics of the old Fronch quarter
there was more than a hint of the
French towns with which the vet
Grams of the A. f. F. grew familiar
overseas.
The Legion "buddics" are a bit
roomier around the waist, some of
them, than they were four years
ago, when the fighting in the Ar
gonne was drawing to a close, and
they are distinctly more comfort
able today than they were in those
warharaSSed French towns,
where quarters were scarce and
even stables were at d premium.
But they were the same old A. E.
F. gang-the same hurrah and
noise the same spirit of Lets GO
pervaded their nineteen twenty
two assemblage.
1t was not hard to imagine that
the old buildings which had seen
Andrew Jackson's troops march
out to defeat a crack British army
two weeks after peace had boon
declared in the war of 1872, the
buildings which had seen veterans
Of the Mexican war and WearerS
of the Confederate gray and of
/ the Union blue swinging along to
martial music-it was not hard to
imagine these old buildings open
their eyes d bit behind their dusty
iealousies as the veterans of the
latest war gathered in reunion, and
to declare the policies of their or
ganization.
The Legion will be the guest of
New Orleans for five days. During
that time, it is expected it will once
more declare itself with some ex-
plicitness in REGARD to the bonus
bill; that it will demand the re-

UNIYERSALISTS
HOLD DOUBLE
SERVICE
Re-dedicate Church and
Install Rev. G. W. Scud-
der as Pastor

Sunday was day of double
significance to all interested in the
activities of the church Of the Mes
siah for on that day the church
was rededicated for service after
complete and extensive repairs and
Rev. George w. Scudder was n
stalled as the pastor.
The members of the church and
parish have every reason to be
proud of the appearance of Their
church home and the prospects
and opportunities for usefulness
and service.
The subject of the dedication
sermon Sunday morning by Rev.
Mr.. Scudder was "a Great Day
and its prophesy, and he said IN
part:
It is fitting for Us to emphasize
some of the reasons why we re-
dedicate this temple to God. 1t IS
true that this house has been set
apart for many years for the wor-
ship of God according to the die
tates Of our conscience, and it is
still d sacred place without any
further ceremonial of dedication.
This church Is a place of sacred as
sociations and memories where our
thoughts are more readily turned
to God. It is the visable symbol of
the immanent presence of our
Heavenly Father. 1t is a memorial
to the faith an loyalty Of the faith
er- and mothers who built this
house and who through the years
maintained for the public worship
Of God the Father Of all souls and
for instruction in the Universal
Go pei Of Jesus Christ Because of
their loyalty we have TIE rich her
itage Of thi. beautiful house of
worship and the faith which is the
anchor Of our souls and the hope
Of the world for righteousness and
peace. 1t is appropriate for US to
accept the heritage fthe steward
ship of this temple, and to reded-
icate this house to the public Wor-
ship Of God and instruction in the
religion of Jesus Christ, and to re-
consecrate ourselves to the study
and practice of the faith our faith
crs have bequcathed to US. 1t is
appropriate for US to refresh our
minds with some of the details of
the mission of the largest faith
that has been committed to our
keeping. Jesus had the purpose of
creating q new humanity as he
worked along two lines of individ-
ual and social service. His method
was to transform society by re-
deeming individuals and making
them the salt of the earth and the
light and the heaven to illuminate
and change the community. He la
bored to establish a new social or
der in which men and women
would be moulded from birth into
sonS and daughters of the Most
High. The mission of the liberal
church and of every church, is to

LYNDON HALTS
NEWPORT HIGH
BY ESQ SCORE
Woods Brothers Star In
Defeat of Border
City Team

After a series OF lengthy runs by
the Woods brothers in the last
quarter of a great game, Newport
High submitted to a glorious de-
feat % to 0 to Lyndon Institute
Saturday.
Even to the most partisan fan,
the first half appeared to be any
thing but Lyndon's. The hard
plunging Newport backfeld and
the reguilt Border City line work
ed havoc with the visitors. Lyndon
only made one first down to New
ports seven this first half. Capt.
Lance, the tearing Newport full
back, tore holes, right and left in
the Institutes line. Time and again
the orange and black eleven work
ed the ball down under shadow Of
the goal posts, but the error of US
ing line plays instead of opening
up spoiled their chances, for touch
downs.
The second half started in to
be a replica of the first, but "Dic&'
Woods pulled off a speedy run,
skilting Newport's left end for a
touchdown. This rejuvenated the
Lyndon eleven, and it was a few
minutes later that on the same CON
cealed criss cross they repeated
this feat on 80 and 40 yard runs by
brother "Whif". The Newport
team held to the last ditch and
only by a mighty effort did Lyndon
receive their last touchdown.
Just as "Whif' Woods PLUNGED
through for the final touchdown,
timer Walker of Lyndonville call
ed time for the best game seen in
Newport for many a year
For Newport the work of Capt.
Lance stood out. The Lyndon line
could not stop him. Cote played
well at half and Huntington and
Allbee were good in the line. Ham
ilton smashed the opposing inter
ference several times as did Litch-
field before he was removed with
an injured ankle.
For Lyndon the work of the
Woods brothers and Capt. Bassctt
stood out prominently "Dick and
"Whilf' with their great interfcr-
ence spelled the 25 to 0 defeat.
A fight was narrowly averted in
the third quarter between d spec
tator and an eX-Lyndon athletic
Aside from that the game furnish
ed enough thrills to keep the
crowd an excited, bowling mass of
humanity.

policeman who was seen talking
with George Mills and L. r. Bour-
beau of Cranky, P. O., take some
action when ne met and talked
with the two bandits on the streets
OF Worcester Saturday morning?
These unusual features of the
case were brought to light today
when Charles H. McGourty, a re-
spected citizen of Worcester, and
father of Edmund McGourty, who
was the third member of the rum
running party, who was captur-
ed and held here as a material
witness against the young bandits,
arrived in st. Johnsbury with his
sister, and took steps to secure the
freedom of the boy. He engaged
Lawyer David f. Porter to act for
him. A hearing on McGourty's
case will take plac etoday before
Judge Harry Blodgett with States
Attorney James B. Campbell rep
rcsenting the state.
Mr.. McGoulty said that on Fri
day evening he received a call
from an aunt of young Mills, who
appears to be the ring leader in
the proposed rum running opera
tions and the automobile thefts,
saying that the Worcester Gazette
had story of a hold up at st.
Johnsbuly, VT, Ga story furnished
the Gazette by the Caledonian-
Record, and that her nephew's
name was mentioned in the case.
She wanted to know if Mr.. Nc
Gourty's son was at home. Mr..
! McGourty said his boy had not
been home for several days. Mr.
McGourty said he hardly slept
wink that night and early Saturday
morning he answered the tele-
phone and found it to be George
Mills. Mills wanted to know if
"Edmund had reached home. He
said they left him near the Cana
dian border with instructions to
follow them back to Worcester
