TALKS on Observation-Disclosures
Dorothy Edwards Describes Process OF
Making Vegetable Silk.

Dorothy Edwards gave a very interest
ing talk on lustra-cellulose or vegetable
silk in chemistry yesterday. She de
scribed the process by which the wood
pulp or cotton fibers. either of which may
be used. are nitrated and thereby rem
dered soluble. She explained the method
by which thy are forced through capillary
tubes into another solution which hardens
the long tilaments into threads. This
proves that man has only initiated the
silk worm in his method of forming the
hbers though the material is different
since silk is a protein substance
The luStra-celluloSe is not quite as
strong as pure silk, especially when wet.
but its luster is even greater than that of
real silk. 1t does not crush and takes
exquisite colOrings when dyed
Tricolette is a fabric made from this
vegetable silk Miss Edwards had sam
pies of tricolctte, also of Martha Wash
ington silk, to show the class.
This talk was especially interesting to
the class because part of the manufacture
of this Martha Washington silk is carried
on in Brsttlehoro at the Vermont Silk
Co, opposite Odd Fellows temple.

breaking into concert work. One gets
an outing in the summer time when he
needs it, and there is no expense con-
nected A few dollars can be picked up
during the year in concert work outside

The work cnnrises radio, telephone,
buzZuphone, courier counted and foot,
visual signal, map-making and reading,
pioneer and clerical work.
: The organization has an entertain
ment and athletic program planned,
besides its routine work. There Is op-
pOrtunity for a young man to learn any
of the above mentioned lines of work
and without expense or interference
with his outside work. We are INSTALL
ing an efficient radio telephone, outfit
whereby we can give concerts. There is
a chance to advance in grade according
to ones efficiency.
/ wish to urge upon all our male citi-
zens of military age (between is and
- years. of good character and physi-
cally able, to consider this letter care
fully and visit us at our quarters in
Crosby block with the view of enlist
ing. If any desire to see these organiza-
tiOnS maintained in Brattleboro it is up
to them to get into it, and for those
who are not qualified, to give US their

lH Out for Track and BASEBALL!

All Out for Track and Baseball!
The first call for track and baseball
practice will be given next week and
every boy who has the time should come
out for these sports. The track manager
has scheduled several meets for the boys
this spring and it is necessary that we
have some good, hard training before the
first of these meets In order to develop
a first class team there must be a large
number of candidates to choose from.
When there are four or five men all fight
ing for the same position on the squad
keen competition is certain and the man
who gets the coveted place necessarily
earns it. If there are only Il few men to
choose from, the coach and the men have
to work twice as hard to turn out cham
pionship team. In football one of the
most important elements is speed. 4
man gets this from the track If any fell
low wants to make the football squad
next fall, one of the best things he can do
in preparation is to come out and get the
track practice in the spring Then he has
overcome just 50 much of what he must
have to be good football man.
For several years Il. II. S. has held
the championship of the state in track
events. Last year we won the three-year
cup at the University of Vermont, as we'll
as two other trophies offered by Middle
bury college and Brattleboro.
The football team and the basketball
team have been defeated this year by
some of their rivals in other high schools.
On the track this spring we will meet
many of the schools Come out, fellows,

Eddie Duval of SaIem-Derby secured an
animal with his rifle one day last week
which he exhibited at Newport and
which SO far has not been identified. At
first sight it appeared to be a fox and
resembled that animal in size and had
bushy tail like a fox. Its ears and nose
were much shorter than a fox, its head
being more like a coon. 1t was a beauti-
full specimen and was in four colors, black.
grey. white and red Unlike fox, when
being pursued it sought refuge in tree
which would lead one to think it was
from the coon family. Mr.. Duval discov-
cred the animal while working in his
sugar place, and when followed by his
dog it took to maple tree and sought
refuge 40 feet from the ground. Upon be-
ing left alone it returned to the ground
and was again trailed about two hours
when it was discovered in the top of
spruce where Mr. Duval shot it. Several
hunters viewed the specimen and none
could solve the mystery.
