WASHINGTON. Dec. 90
Among all classes of Europeans
whose fortunes felt the devasta-
tating touch of the World War
there is a wellnigh universal hope
and expectation that the United
States will ultimately bring about
their relief from their financial and
other obligations, according to the
Honorable John Barrett's inter
probation of public sentiment
abroad as presented to the Yer
mont Association of Washington
at its first winter meeting. Mr..
Barrett's picture of conditions and
cover there" was given to his fell
low Vermonters shortly after his
return from visit to the countries
whose battle-scarred relics still
bear eloquent witness of the ravag-
es of war.
His was an address that fitted
admirably in with Commissioner
General Walter w. Husbands cX-
planation of the operations of the
Dillingham; immigration law, Civ
ing his hearers the latest available
information on this subject.
The meeting was the first to be
held following the election of offic-
crs last spring, and Charles w.
Floyd, styled in the parlancc of
the "Towr Meeting" as "Modcra-
tor" welded the gavel as presid-
ing officer for the first time. Mr..
Floyd welcomed the half-hundred
or so Vermonters by birth or af-
filiation who were present, and
dealt upon the benefits to be de-
rived from such State societies, in
the line or renewing old and form
ing new acquaintance. He urged
every Vermont man and woman to
form a committee of one to enroll
in the association all Vermontcrs
in this section who were not al
ready members.
Mr.. Barrett. whose work as Dir
ector of the Pan American Union
for so many years made him an
international figure, told his hear
ers that he had met with a most
friendly feeling towards Ameri-
cans during his trim abroad and he
emphasized what he REGARDED as
almost a universal feeling that the
United States would step in and

VIOLENT TEMPEST AT
SEA THREATEN SHIPS

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-Violent
tempests have ragged through the
past week, threatening smaller
vessels with destruction, driving
liners out of their usual lane and
delaying them several days accord
ing to wireless reports received
today.
Officers of the Frederick, Vree-
land and the United States which
arrived yesterday several days af-
ter the worst storm in their his
tory described gales which still
were whipping waters of the At
lantic. The Manchuria and the
Lavoie reported Today they would
arrive on Thursday. The Niagara
due today, reported she would try
to fight her way to port tomor-
row. The Coronia reported from
Halifax that she had been forced
to put in there. The United States
for many hours fought her way
through winds which blew from
100 to 120 miles per hour.

Around the name of Connor, a
colorful lustre was shed last ev-

bow tried shots from the most
difficult positions and tailed them.
He was a glutton for work and
dashed into the thickest of scrim-

His sensational play stood out as
the greatest he has probably ever
flashed at the Armory.

witnessed it. The little manger

HEAVY
DEMAND F Or
WESTERN GIANT

That motor car owners have con-
fidence in Western Auto advertis-
ing is amply evidenced by the big
interest in the new Western Giant
Cord" tire just put on the market
through eWestern Auto stores.
The sales of this new tire have
been so much greater than expected
that advertising planned for the
northern part of the state was de-
layed till a new shipment of tires
could arrive from the eastern fac
tories.
In connection with the successful
launching of Western Giant tires.
Mr.. George Pepperdine, president Of
western Auto" said:
1--WE felt confident beforehand
that "Western Giants would go
over big, and the practical way in
which motorists have demonstrated
their approval of this new tire veri-
fies our belief that we had created
something new, necessary and de-
sirable in the tire field.
While the Western Giant carcass
is the most expensive and durable
type, the radical Improvement is IN
the new type tread and its peculiar
but effective construction.
"rhe tread is wide, flat and thick,
and it is placed right up on top,
where it should be. When a West
ern Giant tire is worn out. there is
not much waste rubber left on the
sides of the carcass as in the ordi-
nary type, and the design OF the
tread is the assurance of a perfect
traction and makes the use OF skid
chains unnecessary.
Our confidence in the Western
Giant tire is expressed fully in oui
unreserved 1900 guarantee on ev-
cry tire Sold" concluded Mr. Pepper
dine.

parts that do not stretch so much.
and coupled with the fact that out
side adjustments are provided, 1t
makes the chain drive seem great
deal more desirable. We are in the
habit of calling it a silent chain drive
but the silence is not the only rea-
son for its existence. The chain con-
Stitutes a flexible unit in the drive,
and therefore the shock on the cam
shaft is eased and bearing wear re-
duced. The chain adjustment must
be kept correct. for il it is too tight
the chain will howl, and if too loose
it will slap against the housing.
When front end noises develop IN
a gear drive there is little the owner
can do. There is no gear adjustment
and fabrication is taaen care OF by
the crankcase. II the gears become
worn and slam. knock or chatter It
simply cannot be overcome unless
new gears are installed. In the case
of a chain drive, the chain may be
used until all adjustment has been
taken up. Then if the chain
stretches further and thus makes
noise and upsets engine timing there
is nothing you can do but have new
chain installed.

A magnetized screwdriver Is a
great convenience for the man who
works about his car. The magnet
lied tool will pick up screws, nuts,

dropped into inaccessible places.
Again, in setting screws, especially
small ones, the magnetized screw
driver may be used by simply hold
ing the screw until it is set in place.
and this may be done with one hand
if necessary. To magnetic a screw

The buying movement in yesterdays

that shorts were compelled to compete
with one another In covering outstand-
ing commitments, prices being advanced

cables renewed rains in the Western
belt and reports of much increased spot

ammunition that they needed. Start

up 113 points, the active contract list
closing as to 100 points better than 1t
did on Saturday.
The increased activity in the Liver
pool spot market was a primary cause
of the advance there. About 10000
hales of the actual changed hands
abroad and futures prices in the Eng
lish market were much better than ex-
pected Instead of opening n to 3
penny points net higher, Liverpool
opened to 0 better, and at the time
of the local call showed net gain of
13 to 20 points. Liverpool was a heavy
buyer of futures and spot in this
country.
The usual amount of profit taking by
the professional element was encount-
cred on the way up. but the impression
that it made on the market was so
negligible that it was hardly factor
to consider. Many shorts were caught
when a bullish weather map was posted
early in the day. Although the amount
of precipitation shown by the official
map was no more than moderate. pri-
vate advices stressed the alarming late
ness of the crops start.
The local spot market advanced 10
points to 21.25 cents a pound for mid
ding. Delivery on LOCAL contract
totaled 7,700 bales. In New orleans
