spoke up Mr.. kingbird, II would tell
him to leave the orchard quickly, but
as you say, he never flies about in the
daytime so 1 cannot tell him."
"Why not sit up one night, Mr.. King
bird and watch for Mr.. Owl?" said Mr..
Catbird. "You like to be called the
watchman of the orchard; now is your
chance to earn the title"
Every one listened, for it was known
given wide berth by Mr.. Kingbird
whenever he met him, and also that,
though he did wish to be called their
protector, he was really very unkind
to the small birds, even while he did
attack Mr.. Grow and Mr.. Hawk in the
most fearless manner.
"Well, well, what is going to be
done" chattered Jenny Wren. ~
can't waste all the day here, even If
the rest of you can, have work to do
and keep my house in order, too"
Everybody began to chatter at once,
for they all were afraid Of Jennie's
sharp tongue, when suddenly Jennies
quick eyes saw something moving In
the tree where Mr.. Owl lived. Look |"
she said, there he is! I"
Mr.. Owl sat on limb near the hol-
low in the tree looking very stupid.
"He can't see in the daytime" cried
Jennie "Come, let us drive him into
his nest"
All the others followed Jennie, who
was scolding as loudly and fast rs she
could, and around Mr.. Owl they
swarmed, chattering and screaming.
Poor Mr.. Owl loved silence and this
terrible din nearly drove him out of
his wits. He turned his head and with
clumsy motion managed to get into
his hole while the birds screamed
louder than ever before over their VIC
tory
That night when he came out of his
nest before he found anything for his
supper, Mr.. Owl flew off to find a new
home, for mo one could live in the
midst of that chatterlng bunch and he
happy" he snid.
81 would swallow whole that chat
tering Jennie Wren If I could find her,
but IL l did she would keep right on
talking. I expect, and then | would
have to listen to her all the time so
on second thought I guess I won't
hunt for her"

ROAD
DlDEE- Ding
INSTRUMENT TO TEST SOILS
BY Means of Modern Apparatus II 10
Possible to Obtain Most Valuable
Information.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.l
An instrument for testing soils on
which roads are to be built has been
devised by the bureau of public roads
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t consists of a metal
disk resting on the soil and support
ing cylinder into which shot can be
poured. The apparatus is Ield in
position vertically by means Of a
tripod, at the top of which is mounted
a small dial that tells to one-thous-
andth Of an inch how far the disk
sinks into the soil as shot is poured
into the cylinder. By means of the
instrument 1t is possible to get in
formation as to how the soil will act
In wet weather
The kind of soil beneath a road sur
face has great deal to do with how
1t will stand up under modern traffic,
and engineers look upon this as an i'm
portant consideration in determining
the kind of road to be built This is
confirmed by number of Instances
where two sections Of the same road
have been built in exactly the same
manner and subjected to the same
traffic but on different types of soil.
One section has lasted well while the
other has broken up in a manner that
can only be explained by lack of
supporting power of the soil beneath
the road.
The bureau has for some time been
investigating this question along vari.

FILMS SHOW ROAD BUILDING
Scenes Depicting Actual Construction
Of Various Types of Highways
Are Displayed.

Close-ups of the activities of the
bureau of public roads are contained
In two films released, building Bi-
luminous roads," and MIXED Asphalt
Pavements." The new films show how
Uncle Sam, who has become the
worlds greatest road builder through
the federal-aid road act, makes use of
bituminOus materials in the cOnstruc-
tion of the Nations highways.
Building Bituminous Roads" deals
directly with the surface treated and

MIXED Asphalt Pavements" en-
braces the construction Of asphaltic
concrete and sheet asphalt roads, and
carries the audience from the paving
plant, where the materials are mixed
to the completed highway, open for
traffic. Scenes depicting the actual
construction of the various types of
roads were made under the direction
of skilled engineers of the bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, and are designed
to instruct the layman as well as the
engineer In modern road-building prac-
tees. Several animated close ups
graphically depict the details Of con-

"What about the farmers?' asked
Freddie
'Freddie, the administration found
the farmers in a bad condition in
March, 1921, because they were unable
to get credit or find market for their
products. Hundreds of little banks
had loaned the farmers so much money,
and, the farmers being unable to pay it
back, these banks were in a terrible
fix. The War Finance Corporation
was pnt into effect again and it
wasn't long before $35O,OOO,ooO of
Uncle Sam S money was loaned to the
farmers to see them through their
troubles. This brought farm prices up
about 20 per cent, saved hundreds of
the banks and put the whole farming
section of the country back on a much
firmer basis
"In other words, Freddie,n said
Uncle Ted, as he arose from his chair,

Sunday morning on account of the death
from diphtheria of four-months-old Err
nest Latham of Fort Dummer avenue,
was declared raised this morning by
Health Officer Chester S. Leach. This
action followed the. report from the state
laboratory at Burlington concerning the
175 cultures taken from Fort Dummer
residents last Sunday and Monday
morning. OF the number of cultures ex-
amined. three were found to be positive
cases.
One case is that of the two-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Edward La
Flam and sister of the boy who died
last Friday. Another is that Of a two
Iear-old child in a family living next
door but in the same house with the
LaFlarl family. The third is that of a
positive carrier, man J6 years old who
has and carries the germs of the disease
but who is not i'll. The three families
where the disease is prevalent have been
rantined. The Fort Dummer mill
and the Oak Grove school were opened
this morning.

BONES OF CHILD
ARE UNEARTHED
Second Skeleton Found by
WOrkmen at Canning
Factory Site
MAY DATE BACK
TO FORT DUMMER
Was but Few Feet from Spot Where
Adult Skeleton Was Found Monday
Not Far from Site of VermOnt's First
Permanent White Settlement.

Have we stumbled upon an ancient
burying- ground that was used 1913 years
ago when old Fort Dummer was COM
pleted by the early pioneers who settled
in this vicinity? Have we come upon
the resting place of scattered few of
an Indian tribe which once roamed over
the valley? Or have we uncovered a
private cemetery used in the early days
of the town. or a place of concealment
for some dark deed done in former days
when someone mysteriously disappeared
and never was heard from again?
These are some of the questions that
are now being asked since the discovery
late yesterday afternoon of another hu-
man skeleton on the site of the old
Snowflake canning factory which is now
almost razed. A workman employed by
the Presbrey-Leland Co. was digging a
hole for a part of the foundation for the
new granite plant when he uncovered a
child's skeleton which was lying between
5 and 10 feet away from the spot where
the skeleton of an ad2t was found last
Monday morning. The bones were found
about one foot under the surface and
the same distance from the rivers edge
as was the skeleton found last Monday,
which was about 30 feet. The bones un-
earthed yesterday We're those of a child
probably 10 years old. The bones We're
more decomposed than was the skeleton
found Monday, the teeth were all gone
and the skull was broken in several
pieces. 1t was impossible TO tell in what
position the skeleton lay, as the bones
had been disturbed by the workman's
shovel
Chief-of- Police George Wilson was
notified of the discovery by the man at
the site, and the bones were picked up
and placed in the Office there. and this
morning they were brought to Seleetman
Stelman's machine shop.
The skeleton found Monday was ex-
amined this morning by Health Officer
Chester S. Leach, who said it was impos-
sible to tell no wlong it had been buried.
sible to tell how long it had been in the
ground at least 80 years. Different
grades of soil have different powers of
preservation. which fact renders de-
cision in the case more difficult. DIR.
Leach said the bones were those OF
full grown man. but whether white man
or Indian it was impossible to say.
The place where the two skeletons lay
is but a few hundred yards from the site
of old Fort Dummer. the first permanent
white settlement in Vermont.

ManN Cats Resemble Docs.

The origin of Manx cats IS now attrib-

Isle Of Man from ships belonging to the
Spanish Armada that were wrecked
there. They were probably brought from
Japan or Eastern Asia. They are a dis
tinct species with short forelegS and ele-

cats somewhat in call, ways and charac-
tor. They vary in color. People who
have owned them for long ceriodS say
they are not good mousers or hunters. In
