When will people learn to empty med
icine bottles before throwing them out
with other rubbish? A little girl play
ing in a New York back yard found n
corlled bottle of what looked to her like
little white candies. She took some her
self and gave one to a boy playmate.
Later both children were taken sick. 1t
developed that the supposed candies
were bichloride of mercury tablets
thrown out by some careless person. The
little girl probably will die. The boy
may be saved but that is not certain Re
sponsibility for their illness, and if they
die, their deaths, lies with the person
who left the deadly poison in such shape
and in such a place that children could
get to it.

HOME OWNERSHIP ARGUMENTS.

HOME OWNERSHIP ARGUMENTS.
The person who is hesitating on the
subject of buying or building his own
home may find the needed stimulus in
the following list of subjects. These
topics are to be discussed in a series of
public addresses which will be a feature
of a home ownership campaign this fall
in one of the big cities.
Rent, the Endless Drain.
Home Owning as a Tangible Asset.
Making a Home of a House.
Playing Square with the Wife and
Riddles
Home Ownership as Establishing
Credit and Community Standing.
If Death Should Come.
Good Habits that Rise and Endure
with Home Ownership.
Better Friendships, a Better Job, Bet
ter Citizenship as the Result of Home
Ownership.
The subjects themselves are suggestive
enough to need little elaboration. They
point out in few words the reasons why
home ownership is best for the individ-
ual and best for the community, and why
the buying of homes is not just matter
between real estate dealers and pros
pective purchasers but a subject of gen
eral interest to be forwarded by private
and public cooperation.

The Lawyers or the Lady?

burlington NeWS.b
The lawyers of Washington county
are on the warpath. They have painted
thelr faces, put on new feathers and
are practicing the war dance. 1t all
started with the opening of county
court last Wednesday, Just about the
time the sheriff began his Hear We.
Hear We, and called all victims of liti-
CATION to appear before that august
tribunal. There had been rumors of
war before, but the opening of court
furnished the paint and feathers. in
more ways than one, Tor it was paint
and feathers that started the trouble.
Ii appears that the side" Judges con-
stItutlonally known as assistant Judges,
have TAKEN away the lawyers consulta-
ton room and given it over to the fair
while the unsuspecting members of the
bar were struggling with vacations. the
side judges slipped into the court house
at Montpelier. walled up the door lead
ing into the aforesaid consultation room
and furnished it with new desk, chairs
and couch, the like of winch had never
been known before and with blushing
cheeks led the dainty reporter into her
new sanctum. Now the lawyers are
holding consultations in the telephone
booth or on the stairs and rather than
sharpening their tomahawks for an as
sault upon the offending judiciary.
Again is heard the old complaint.
what good are the side judges, any
way?" But there is one person. the
court reporter, who thinks the side
Judges are a wonderful institution.
There is even talk of going on strike
and a petition has been circulated Who
will win. the lawyers or the lady?

The MeddLe7
eff the coat fits you, put It on"

Whenever The Meddler sees repre-
sentative nominees campaigning for the
speakership he recalls. the fate of War
rem Austin of st. Adams, Charles Dana
of New Haven aftl others, who did this
very thing only to discover the morning
after election that they had been turned
down by the folks at home. In the case
Of the county speakership candidates,
DR.. Osgood of Rockingham and Mr..
Barber of Brattleboro, such a fate is
probably remote, but there is always
the possibility Of some eleveuth-hour
shift of the political gears.
In support of Inc Meddler's recent
contention that fast drivers of automo-
biles were not necessarily dangerous
drivers comes news that the Massachu-
/ sets registrar of motor vehicles is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of excluding
"road-m0peS'' from the main highways
| on days when traffic is heavy. Road
mopes" are timid folks who set so slow
pace as to cause marked traffic con-
gestion. especially on highways where
| the rule against cutting IN IS being lit
orally enforced. The registrar himself
| tells of coming upon a line of more than
| 30 automobiles travelling at II miles an
| hour on a perfectly straight road with
/ no intersections all on account of a
/ small car driven by a lady, who claims
-rightfully no doubt-that there is no
| law to prevent her travelling at that
| speed if she is so inclined. Traffic here
abouts is not so congested as to present
such a problem as the foregoing, espe-
cially with little or no regulation on the
part of the police, but it is, nevertheless,
a fact that the timid. uncertain driver
is potentially more dangerous than the
one who drives with confidence even
though the latter may travel twice. as
far in the same time.

In the Days News.

Carl r. Gray, who is reported TO have
been chosen to head the Canadian Ma
tional railways. is now president of the
Union Pacific railroad. Born in ATkan-
sas in 1867, he began his railroad career
at the age of fifteen as an apprentice
telegrapher. In 1856 he became chief
clerk to the general western agent of
the Frisco at Wichita, and thereafter
his rise in the service was rapid. In
1912 he was elected president of the
Great Northern railroad. a position he
resigned three wears later to accept the
presidency of the Western Maryland
road. During the period of government
operation of the railroads, Mr.. Gray was
director of the division of operation of
the railroad administration, a post re
garded as second only to that of di-
rector general During the past tive
years. as head of the Union Pacific, he
has directed the operation of one OF
the largest railroad systems in America

have taken no definite steps toward pro
'viding adequate parking regulations for
Main street and adjoining thoroughfares.
Possibly, now that the peak of tourist
travel is past, they may be waiting for
the beginning of another season, but the
next month or so would seem to be
good time for trying out a new parking
plan, which, after all, applies more to
local and suburban drivers than to those
who motor through.
1t is to be hoped that counter attrae-
tons will not interfere with the attend
ance at the special town meeting called
for next Tuesday evening to consider the
questions of paving Vernon street and
finishing the highway project now under
way on Western avenue near the cream
cry bridge. Both of these matters are
of considerable Importance and involve
the expenditure of more than small
slice of public funds. The AIeddler is
convinced of the wisdom of paving Yer
non street as a companion move to the
freight, station improvement now under
way, but is not certain whether it is
/, advisable to turn the job over to the
contractors who are to do the railroad
work. Tile better plan probably would
be to get figures from other contractors
as we'll as from the local highway de-
partment. AS to the Western avenue
job the best and most economical time
TO finish it would seem to be now.
Calcium chloride as a dust-layer and
surface-binder has some strong cham
pions through the state, especially in
Bennington county, but The Meddler has
yet to be convinced that it is superior
to oil. Judging by the surface of Put

chloride this year. it would have been
dollars in somebody's pocket if oil had
| been used instead, as it was in 1921

The bright and lovely soul was gonei
No echo voiced the sorrow ours,

But one frail fern beside the brook
As tho with sudden palsy shook!

Since the days of Lord Give and Warren Hastings, India, with it's mill lions of picturesque people, It's con glomeration of religions and creeds, it's magnificent temples and places, and it's subtle atmosphere of ever present mystery has held dominant fascination for the civilized world.
 The great British protectorate which Kipling immortalized has been portrayed with fidelity by Louis Jo- seph Vance, in "The Bronze Bell, " the latest Paramount-Ince special, which will be featured at the Elm press Theater tonight.
 In his novel, MT. Vance combined with exceptional literary skill stirring dramatic situations, a pleasing love story, and vivid, spectacular action. In the screen production, Thomas H. Ince has enhanced the interest and power of the drama by striking scenic achievements and the SUI perior cast which he has chosen to portray the leading roles. Courtney Foote and Doris May head the cast.
 "Oh, Buddy!" Christie Comedy is a clean, humorous story, told in a clean way It is long since the war to permit us to see more clearly some of it's funny sides, and a few laughable incidents in the trenches are brought into the story through "vision scenes" picturing the thoughts of the leading man as he recalls some of his experiences in France. Fortunately this is not over done.
 Neal Burns plays the leading part, supported by Vera Steadman and a fine cast throughout Burns is al ways funny, but his acting in "Oh, Buddy!" is exceptionally good The whole play is in keeping with his performance, and shows commend able trend toward cleaner and fun nier comedy, without the old worn out tricks that may have seemed
