The Harmful street-sprinkler.

Editor of The Reformer:
While ways and means are being de-
vised for paving Vernon and portion
of Main streets. is it not painfully evil
dent to the already encumbered tax
payer that a Niagara street-sprinkler and
the motor truck are destructively antag-
onistic forces. Unlike many communities
where the deluging street-sprinkler IS
forbidden upon the roads Brattleboro has
maintained an almost continuous program
of expensive road work and while the
village water-wagon has not been per
mitted of late to turn is harmful baths

Sports are national safety valves.
When people eXpend their sur

not much left for the war spirit to

When war seethes in the blood
there is little time and attention for
games except as part OF the physi-
cal hardening for battle.
One reason Americans are not
warlike is because they vent their
energies and emotions on outdoor
sports. An nsurrection in our
country could be nipped in the bud

baseball teams to the center OF

A peculiar thing observed by DR.
