PROGRAMS OF MUCH INTEREST
Were Presented BY the Barre WON
ans Club.

Yesterday afternoon and evening
the Barre Woman's club, under tht
especial direction of the music and ari
department, furnished programs o.
more than ordinary interest for it,
members and the Barre public.
A wealth Of Chinese embroideries
was displayed for inspection and short
descriptions were given by Mrs. M
D. Lamb The delicacy of the handi-
work and quality of material were a
marvel to all who saw them.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Olive
Coon, chairman of the art department
of the Vermont State Federation Of
Woman's Clubs, Is paintings by John
Lille of Dorset, who has SO recently
come into prominence as a Vermont
artist, were on exhibition.
AT the afternoon meeting, Miss Dor
othy Barclay gave pleasing piano
selection and Miss Wheelock read an
article from recent number of the
Outlook on Mr.. Lilies work.
In the evening, Mrs. Niles and Miss
Glee Wood gave some delightful vocal
numbers with Mrs. N. B. Ballard ac-
companying The audience was then
favored with an informal talk by Ed
win B. Child, noted portrait paint
er of New York City, who had come
TO Barre to tell of Mr.. Lilies remark
able accomplishments in art. Mr.. Child
is an old friend of Mr.. Lille and has
a summer home in Dorset. He voiced
the thought that idealism exists in
every community and that aesthetic
study is not something apart from
other things.
John Lille, the common craftsman,
has looked beyond the common things
of life and can see the larger things
of beauty and of worth. Whatever
Mr.. Lilies compositions represent,
Mr.. Child said, "You can always walk
on his earth, you can always feel the
everlasting rock under his mountains,
you can always breathe his air
Mr.. Child kindly showed a portfolio
Of some Of his own work, in which
deep interest was shown. The lesson
as drawn by Mr.. Child was that true
is not matter of putting
in, but Of leading out, that art is not
a matter Of fripperies and fiumididdles
tackled on to the outside after the real
things of life have been attended to,
but natural, normal expression of
honest living, dealing with and based
on the intimate things that concern us
ALL.
Let Vermont and Vermonters be
proud that among their own rugged
hills SO much that is true and worthy
has developed and hope that the fu-
ture may know more of John Lille
and his work.

DUST EXPLOSION" SUMS UP
YEARS OF INVESTIGATION

Dust Explosions, book containing
the results Of years Of investigation
by the Department of Agriculture, Is
soon TO be issued by the National Fire
Protection Association, Boston, Mass,
In the interest Of reducing fire and ex-
plosion losses. The book was prepar-
cd by David J. Price and Harold II.
Brown of the Bureau of Chemistry Of
the department and Is expected to be
q welcome addition to the meager lit
erature on a subject that has been
found OF great economic Importance to
divers industries. 1t Is of interest par
ticularly to rnanufacturerB In dust
producing Industries, operators Of
grain-thrashing outfits, coal mine op-
orators, owners of cotton gins, Are
and accident insurance companies, In
spection departments, engineers, ar
chitects, colleges and libraries.
Ono OF the numerous tables showH
that In this country there are now
about 1000 manufacturing plants III
which combustible dust ID an unavoid-
able by-product. These factories, al
ways under the menace Of loss through
dust explosions annually turn out pro-
ducts TO the value of nearly z billion
dollars. That there Is widespread dam
ger has been proved by the occurrence
Of disastrous explosions Of dusts' Of
aluminium, coal, cork, cottonseed, flour,
grain, leather, malt, phonagrnph rec
ords, rice, rubber, sawdust, spices,
starch, sugar, and sulphur The au-
thors have investigated every notable
dust explosion In tho United States
and Canada, many Of which are dis-
crsgad In the now publication,
Chapters are devoted TO nature and
theory of dust explosions, Industries
producing dust and their extent, ell
mination Of sources Of ignition, pro
vention Of explosions by control Of ex-
plosive mixtures. phenomena Of ex-

DEATH FROM sNAKEBITEsRARr
IN u. s., FIGURES SHOW

Although tho average mortality
from American venomous snakes Ii d
little more than 10 per cent Of the per-
sons bitten, death from snake bites u
quite rare, according TO the Biological
Survey OF the Department OF Agrictn-
ture, because relatively few persons
encounter or are bitten by the danger
GUS species.
Tho most venomous Of our native
snakes live In lonely, little-settled dIh.
tricts, often on stony or swampy land
that can not DO cultivated. Usually
they disappear ct the approach Of man,
and while they may strike II provoked,
tho popular belief In respect to tho dis
lance they Gun strike Ia erroneous.
Three-fourths Of their own length ID
about the greatest distance possible IL
the legs arc well protected when ona IL
going into deep woods or places known
TO be infested by rattlers or other poi.
aonous snakes, there IL slight chance Of
being bitten.
As tho food Of snakes consists Of
living prey, they cannot be killed by
poisoned baits. The only method thus
far devised 10 kill them seems 10 be
clubbing or shooting. This Ii best
done In early spring, when they are
still sluggish after the winter hiberna-
ton. Allowing hogs FREQ run Of In
tested land may reduce tho number Of
snakes. However, the popular Idea
that hogs are immune TO snake bites II
probably based on the impenetrability
by the venomous fangs OF their thick
sRf and fat layer rather than on &C.
tual immunity Of these animals.
The varieties most commonly found
In this country arc tho Elapitkae or
Harlequin snakes, and the Crotalidae,
or pit wpers", which include rattle
snakes, cotton-mouth water moccaslns
and copperhcads.

MOISTURE CAPACITY OF SOIL IN.
CREASED by OGANIC MATTER

In addition TO adding plant food 10
tho soil and improving Its texture, or
ganic matter, supplied by green-na-
nure crops, stable manure, or In any
other form, adds greatly TO the niois-
'tufe-holdlng capacity. II has been
shown, says tho United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, that while 100
pounds Of sand can hold only rs pounds
Of water and 100 pounds Of clay 30
pounds, the same weight Of humus or
decaying organic matter will hold 100
pounds.
Clay soil containing organic matter
IL more friable than similar soil with
out organic matter. When the organ
&c matter Is entirely removed the clay
remains compact during freezing and
thawing. When the organic matter
Ii returned the soil erumbIes after
freezing, Just as the original soil.
Not only do the higher plants grow
better In q soil rich IN organic matter,
but the activities Of tho soil bacteria
are solely dependent on the supply Of
decay.
