What's Your Reaction Time? New
Question for Autoists.

(U. S. Dept. of Agri. Clip Sheet)
"What is your reaction time or do
you know the value of your personal
equation?"
This has been suggested as a pos
sibIe question to be put to applicants
for motor vehicle drivers license, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Public Roads
of the Department of Agriculture.
Reaction time is the interval of time
that elapses between the instant a
sign or signal is seen and the neces-
sary action started. A driver starts
to pass another vehicle when suddenly
third vehicle appears which may
eide whether to pass the vehicle or
drop back. IF his reaction time is
slow he may not realize the danger
until too late to avert an accident.
Every astronomer who observes
when a star crosses a hair line in his
telescope and presses a key SO that
the time may be electrically recorded
knows that he does not observe the
fact and press the key at the same
time A correction has to be made
which has been carefully determined
and is called his personal equation.
It varies with different people.
Timers of foot race with split
second watches will frequently get
different results for the time of the
race.
The reaction time of some people is
very slow and undoubtedly is the
cause of many accidents" Does the
public safety require that such peo-
pie be denied drivers licenses? The
Bureau of Public Roads is not ready
to advocate such policy, but con-
siders that it should be investigated
as a possible safety measure.

Farmer Cooperation.
est. Adams Messenger)

Only yesterday The Messenger
expressed the belief that the greatest
good to the farmers would come
through cooperation for economic
purposes, such as buying and selling,
and that it would be mistake to
put the main reliance on cooperation
for political purposes.
Evidently this belief is shared by
such men as Secretary Hoover and
Senator Capper? the latter a promi-
nent leader of the farm bloc in the
Senate. Secretary Hoover told the
delegates to the First National Coun-
Gil of the Farmers Cooperative Mar
keting Association that commodity as
sociations had done more toward re
storing financial stability in the I'm
tied States than any other factor.
Senator Capper said: "The coop
erative idea offers more encourage
ment in pulling the farmer out of the
hole in which he finds himself, due
to financial and industrial conditions,
than any other factor" Mr.. Meyer,
managing director of the war finance
corporation, spoke along the same
line, and all believed that the con-
structive legislation needed would be
forthcoming.
The farmers of the county have not
yet sensed the great advantages that
would come through concerted effort
in buying and selling. The farmer is
too much at the mercy of his market,
which he does not seek to systematic
or even really to understand 1t is
we'll nigh an impossibility for the in
dividual to learn the market, changing
as it does with great frequency, but
were all farmers joined together and
possessed of market experts, the con-
dition would be vastly different
Whatever legitimate aid can be Civ
en- the farmer by legislation The Mes
senger would welcome, but it feels
deeply that the agriculturist must, in
the final analysis, be his own main
support. His is a great business but
it is now disjointed and disconnected
and that permits others to impose up
on him and get. the better of him
Cooperation for economic purposes,
as The Messenger has stated before,
is the one big hope for the American
farmer.

With numerous candidates for the
ehaplaincy jobs in Montpelier and the
offer of the Montpelier clergymen
who would pray without price (Which
seems less and less satisfactory So
luton to the puzzle because most
people believe the legislatures would
at the close vote to pay them) this
paper once more respectfully sug-
gests that the House select one of it's
own members to officiate. Rev. John
KlmbaH, epresentative-elect r O m
Glover, would acceptably fill the bill.
The House can easily avoid the whole
complication by selecting Mr. Kim
ball, who will be within the body and
is not candidate. This paper is
even taking the liberty of suggesting
this without ever having mentioned
the subject to him.

The Grange of Vermont is one of
the most level-headed, steady-going
bodies in the state. The resolutions
passed at the annual state meeting
last week are about as sound and SEN
sible as can be drawn. They favor
the pay-as-you-go road plan, a gas
oline tax, better enforcement of the
prohibition law, more mature teach
ers for rural schools, fewer sports on
Sunday and limit on the weight of
trucks which use our roads. No>set
of resolutions will suit everyone in
every particular, but for an all round
sensible set of ideas the Grange leads
any other organization whose reso-
buttons we have noted. And it also
shows good sense in rejecting Or
lando Martin as master.
