MORE CLOSED CARS

Eight years ago two per cent of the
nations output of passenger automo-
biles took the form of closed cars. This
year, if present proportions in produc-
ton bold good the closed car viii be
more than % per cent of the total. And
the demand is far from satisfied.
Bodymakers everywhere are working
to capacity, and deliveries of closed cars
are much more difficult to obtain than
of roadsters and touring cars. Motor
car builders believe that the closed car
percentage, which made it's first big
jump in 1920, viii continue to in
crease until more than one-third of the
country's automobiles are of this type.
Not the least interesting phase of
this marked tendency is the demand for
the lower-priced enclosed cars. Approx
mateIy thirty per cent of this years
Fords will be enclosed, as against
twenty-three per cent last year, eight
cen per cent in 1920 and only S.S per
cent in 1919 The closed cars popu-
larity may logically be expected to make
winter driving much more general every
where and this, in turn, can hardly fail
to stimulate the whole automobile in
dustry in its innumerable ramiications.

lot of New Jersey people are said
to be highly indignant because, when a
young man was bitten on the right leg
by a copperhead snake, it was impos-
sible to get any whiskey.
The case, however, was not hopeless.
The accident happened at the base of
the Palisades, on the Hudson, opposite
Yonkers, n. Y. That gave the rescuers
an idea. They knew that there was al

layman runs off with the notion that
- keeping hotel'' is a simple or easy
matter, he need only try it for a full
year, and he will be fortunate if he
does 1t with some other person s money.
In a number of Vermont s towns and
cities far-sighted business men have evil
IDENTIFY concluded that a good hotel is
Il community asset, a stimulant OF trade
a standing advertisement, bid for
visitors and a center of get-together
banquets, club dinners. etc, to say
nothing of the advantage of having a
decent inn to take visiting friends for
a meal at times when domestic arrange
ments are not convenient. Such men
have accordingly stood behind their local
hotels with monev-heeome part own
ers in many cases, and have made it
possible to keep open place of enter
tainment, both summer and winter,
when business was good and when it
was not.
This may be the solution of the Ad-
nabrown situation, and the news that
Springfield 5 chamber Of commerce has
taken uD the problem may mean that

of many years of public entertainment,
will be continued on its present lines.
Vermont needs more hotels. not less.

For Poet Laureate.
iRnrlinteon News.l

Vermont women chose a summer resi-
dent of the state for the Vermont poet
laureate. Pei-laps the poet got some of
his inspiration from Vermont even
though he is not a Vermonter.-Barre
Times.
And as the Rutland Herald remarks,
Robert Frost is a real poet, but he is
not Vermonter'' And there s the
rub. We might just as well select Kip
ling as poet laureate of Vermont on the
strength of the fact that he used to have
summer home in Brattleboro.
Without any disparagement of Mr..
Frost meant, his choice by the YER
mont women as poet laureate of the
state does not seem to be q wise one.
If we are to have a poet laureate why
not have Vermonter born and bred2
There 5 notneed to go outside the state
for a real poet, either Why not DIR.

ability as poet is unquestioned and
whose famous poems of Vermont rural
life especially, to say nothing OF his
other verse, are known far and wide!

COATLESS MEN

The Washington Herald has protested
nobly against coats for men in summer
time. Why is it required that a gentle
man wear his coat everywhere except
on the golf links or the tennis court Or
in the swimming pool?
Dignity requires it, some say. Also,
it has always been the mark of a gentle
man to wear a coat. no matter how ride
ulous he looks while hopping his face
and brow or tanning himself violently
with straw hat or newspaper.
Sports costumes have emancipated
women so far as summer apparel is con-
cerned. Short sleeves, no collars, light
and attractive materials, loose-fitting.
straight-lined costumes, all help the fe-
male of the species, be she flapper or
dignifed mother, to feel as comfortable
as possible and to look cool and pleas
ant in the eyes of other mortals.
Why can't men declare little indie
pendence in this matter? The returning
suspenders are to be worn beneath the
shirt, so that dignity need not be sac
rificed when the coat is removed. As an
Office uniform the coatless outfit should
make for increased comfort, increased
efficiency and good temper. Why cling
to the coat for any except formal occa-
sions?

More Hotels, Not Less.
(Rutland Herald.l

The announcement of the proposed
closing of the Adnabrown hotel brings
up the question of keeping up first class
hotels in towns where the population
ordinarily does not bring in business
enough to make them profitable.
1t is all very well to hurrah- boys for
better hotels, but it must be borne in
mind that the owners of hotel property
can hardly be asked to conduct their
business at loss: neither can they re-
fuse offers for their property that repre-
sent profit when converted into BUSH
ness blocks.
The Adnabrown is in the same situa-
ton as good hotels in Ludlow, Chester,
Arlington, Vergennes, Bellows Falls,
Hyde Park and perhaps a score of YER
mont towns For a certain period of
the year they do very well; for the win
ter they do not break event. if they
keep their hotels running; for the rest
of the year-a question of making the
income balance the outgo. This refers
to priced hotels without any
very well defined summer following and
with a winter expense out of all proper
ton to their revenue.
It calls for a lot of very thrifty tig-
uring and close management, and if any
