The Burlington Free Press of Saturday
featured in all honesty a pOem-The
Passing of the Old Vermont Meeting
Housewife an Introductory announce
ment that it was written by William
Rutherford Mead. a New York architect,
a native of Brattleboro and brother of
Larkin G.. Mead the famous sculptor.
While it is not doubted for a moment that
Mr.. Mead could produce a poem on
Vermont affairs, it happens that this
particular poem was written and pub
Iished in 1916, by Daniel L. Cady. a well
known writer of poems having to do with
Vermont rural life. Just how the name
of Mr.. Mead became attached to it has
not vet been explained.

Rank Denoted by skirts.

The women of Erromanga. in the
New Hebrides, dress in an extraor-
binary fashion, their rank being indi-
Gated by the number Of skirts worn.
Sometimes as many as 40 to 60 are
worn by a lady of high degree. The
bulkiness that this collection of gar
ments gives them as they walk along
makes them look something like emus.
The dresses are made of long strands
of pandanus palm leaf. held together
at the waist by a belt. The outer dress
of a lady of distinction will show a
w~ell-deined design or pattern of blue
color. This is laborious work done by
the "dressmaker," who bites the
strands of leaf when they are fresh
and green. When dry the teeth-marks
stand out a deep blue which never
fades.

In the DAYS News.

Although a newcomer to Canadian
political life, James Murdoch, minister
of labor. is not the least interesting of the
members of the new dominion cabinet.
From a railroad brakeman to a seat in
the council of state is the jump accom-
plished by Mr.. Murdoch in a relatively
short time. Born in England, of Scotch
parentage, 30 years ago, he was brought
to Canada in infancy and spent his early
years on a farm in Ontario. firing of
he entered the service of the Canadian
Pacific railway as u brakeman, subse-
q~uently rising to the position of conductor
in which capacity he served until 1905.
From the beginning of his career as a rail
road man he took an active interest in
the organized labor movement and in time
became prominent as a labor leader. For
a number of years Mr.. Murdoch has beer
the Canadian vicc-prcsident of the Bro,
therhood of Railway Trainmen.
