The life and adventures Of a worm
would not seem to be promising ma
terial for movie scenario but film
recently issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture proves that
the doings of such lowly organism
as the roundwOrm that infests the
intcstines of swine may be absorb ng.
Ascaris lumbricOides Is the scientific
name for this parasite that causes
great losses every year to swine grow
ers, and the title of the educational
picture is Exit Ascaris."
The screen story Is built around
two neighbOr farmers, one of whom
has success with his pigs and the other
SO much hard luck that he Is dis
courased almost to the point Of giving
up the business. The man with the
unthrifty herd goes down the road
10 see the successful hog raiser about
his troubles and Is told that round
worms are the probable cause Of his
failure. But he Is skeptical and re-
mains uncOnvinced until q fedora
veterinarian Is called In to diagnose
the case.
The veterinarian brings high
power microscope and sets it up on
box In tile hog yard where he shows
the Turner and his neighbor that the
soil of the lot is badly infested with
the minute eggs Of the roundworm.
The eggs with the sQuirmins young
worms plainly visible within the walls
are shown in the field of the micro

SHOWS DRINKING IN
COLLEGES ON DECREASE

BOSTON, May 22-An lnVestl-
CATION of drinking among college
students conducted by President
F. C. Southworth of the MeadVille
Theological school shows that
there has been a material dlmlnu-
ton since the 18th amendment
was enacted and that in a majority
of colleges canvassed, drinking
has practically disappeared. Prof.
Clayton r. Bowen of the Mead
vile Theological school made this
report today to meeting of the
Unitarian Temperance association.
To a QUESTIONABLE which President
Southworth sent to the deans
of 486 American colleges, he said
he received replies from 80.
"The accusation is frequent that
prohibition has increased drinking
among college students " Pres.
Southworth said in his letter, but
the tenor of the replies he said was
overwhelmingly to the effect that
there had been a marked decrease
during the past years.

NEWPORT MAYOR
PRAISES WORK
OF FIREMEN
Mayor Lindsay Also
Thanks Citizens for
Timely Aid

Mayor W. C. Lindsay has issued
the following statement from his
office in regard to the disasterous
fire in Newport Thursday night.
sour little city is charmingly
favored in a multiplicity of ways
No one that was in intimate physi
cal or visible touch with the de-
vastating conflagration consuming
the Davis Stable and surrounding
property Thursday night, will ad-
NIT otherwise.
"With a fierce wind breaking
across the open stretch of the
South Bay, the blaze enveioped the
whole structure with sudden COM
pleteness and unchecked freedom,
prophetically condemning the
whole section of the citye within
the exposed area Of the sweep Of
the wind.
"In less than twenty minutes af
ter the alarm sounded, the Mayor
was on the ground and making a
survey of the threatened area. Not
less than a dozen senarate roofs
within the path of the menaced
section were ablaze-and each and
every assaulted roof, had its own
little coterie of interchangeable work
ers subduing the flames.
Speaking for the large body of
citizens, many Of whom have per-
sonally expressed their admil'a-
ton for the excellent work of the
City Fire Department at this fire,
and including fires in general; and
the helpful attitude and coopera-
ton of the citizens on such occa-
sions. The Mayor wishes to com
mend the Fire Department; thank
the Citizen body and the public
for their rersonal aid and quiet de-
meanor: and to congratulate the
City of Newport for having so
we'll equipped and efficient fire
fighting forces.

ACADEMY WINS
THIRD GAME OF
SERIES 9 TO 4
Moore Gives Vocational
Sluggers But Four
Safe Hits

mike" Moore held the Voca-
tional sluggers we'll in hand Sat
urday on the Campus and his
mates of St. Johnsbury Academy
had little difficulty in winning the
third and decisive game of the in
tcr-city series by the score of 9
to 4. Moore exercised complete
mastery over the afternoons fro
lie permitting the Vocational lads
but a quartet of uncertain
bingles.
McFarlin, the Vocational twirl-
er, was hit hard, the Academy
ball tossers solving his delivery
for no fewer than Is crashes. In
spite of their much heavier hit
ting, however, the Academy boys
tried more than once to throw
away their game and spill the
beans for pitcher Moore. The
throwing to bases by the Academy
backstops was a sorry sight, and
base stealing was the easiest thing
in the world.
As a matter of fact, the Acad-
envy has the makings fol a real
good school which cannot
be developed, however, by sticking
around st. Johnsbury and failing
to line up with some real prep
school pitching and playing out
side of the native bailiwick. What
if the Academy trimmed the Vo-
cational school nearly every game,
TO hn
rived from playing the same team
over end over again.
Stub" Harvey on first base
looks like a comer. He has q fine
whip and could be developed into
a clever school-boy southpaw.
Pike is better than the average
high school second baseman in
this section and is a good hitter.
Fitch is . fair shortstop while
Smith at third would make a
better ball tosser if he really got
interested.
The weakest point on the team
is behind the plate-in the matter
OF throwing TO bases. If Kellogg
could be shifted 10 some other po-
sition and another man placed in
the receiving Job. perhaps the nine
could be strengthened. There are
pitchers galore, with Moore,
Schoppe and Bell.
Then no team whether it is just
an Academy nine or not, should be
allowed to play without spikes. A
boy, wearing a pair of suction
shoes, or just an ordinary pair of
street SHOES must indeed feel
queer, when he gets on the dia-
mond. Outftted with some real

SOUTH TROY
GIRL SPELLING
CONTEST WINNER
Adah Turner Wins COvet-
ed Silver Trophy at
Newport

The silver trophy given by the
Newport Chamber of Commerce
last year as a prize to the school
winning the Orleans county spell
ing contest was won on Saturday
by Adah Turner Of South Troy
for The eighth grade of the
South Troy grammar school. Be
sides this, there is another prize
of So in gold also offered by the
Chamber of Commerce, which
goes to the winner of the cup.
The spelling contest on Satur-
day held in the Armory at New
port was said by J. y. Whittier,
superintendent of Elementary
schools, to be the best county con
test this year. There We're 38
contestants, out of a possible Al.
The spelling match began at
little after nine o'clock and lasted
three hours. On the stroke of II
there were still four left, and
their staying powers seemed good
for some time, but perhaps Supt.
Whittier was assaiied by the
pangs of hunger and gave cut
harder words, for No. 4 dropped
out in a few moments and then
No. 3 and the strenuous contest
was over The written list of 80
selected words decided the cor
test rs Miss Turner was 100 per
cent perfect. Miss Marion Tower
of Barton lost out on the word
persuade, spelling it pursuade.
Miss Turner and Miss Tower
have the honor Of competing in
the state contest at St. Johnsbury
in the fall, with Oscar Hudson OF
Charleston and Louise Adams of
Orleans as first and second alter
mates.
The silver cup won by Miss
Turner for her school was given
by the Newport Chamber of
Commerce last year and was won
by Alice Colby of the 7th grade
cf the West school in Newport
city. 1t is II inches high and of
graceful design. Should any
school succeed in keeping the
cup for three years, it then
becomes the property of that
school. Dorothy Ford of the 7th
grade, West school was the win
ner Of the city contest and eX-
citement ran high in the hope that
she might keep the coveted prize.
She was the nineteenth to retire.
Miss Adam Turner is the grand
daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. w. O.
Turner She Is in the 8th grade
of the Troy grammar school and
was one of the competitors in last
years contest. She is a good
student, but not book worm, just
the average fun loving school girl.
She expects to go to high school
next year and is a pupil of Mrs.
Helen D. Putfer, who was pres
ent and helped to escort the silver
trophy to its new resting place.
The presentation was made by
Col. C. s. Emery, president of the
Chamber of Commerce who with
Mrs. c. G. Taylor and w. 7. Abel
were the judges. There We're

The St. JohnSburv Academy
fund is growing splcndidly. The
drive was launched at meeting at
the St. Johnsbury House Thursday
night when ii people subscribed

These subscriptions vary in
amount from 500 to $1,000 with
several pledges of $500 and $500
each.
One of the $500 pledges was

fund for st. Johnsbury Academy
is a most worthy and commendable
one.

tuition with a wonderful history,
and we believe, with 4 still greater
future.
ats prestige and equipment

broadening of these advantages
which this fund will make pOsSi-
bic, we are glad to have a mart.
Enclosed please find our pledge
for $500. which viii be our con
tribution to this fund"
Another $500. pledge came with
out solicitation from a family
which has given very much to
every good cause in st. Johnsbury

with the wish that it might be
larger. Still another $500. pledge

ilv that always gives generously to
all good causes in St Johnsbury
anda pledge of $1,000 was given by
another family that has always

BRUSH steamship, Egypt, which
was sunk off the coast of France
Saturday night in a collision with
the French steamer Seine Nearly
100 other persons lost their lives
in the disaster.
BREST, France, May 22-Nine-
ty-eight persons are missing and
242 were saved of those who were
on board the Peninsular and Ori-
entail liner Egypt when it was
sunk off the French coast Satur-
day night by the French freighter
Seine. The two American ladies
drowned are Mrs. NJ. l.. Silbley
and Miss V. M. Boyer. 1t is pos
sible that some of the missing
may have been picked up by the
Cape lracon which replied to dis.
tress signals when nine miles away
with the assurance that she was
fastening to the spot.
According to the purser of the
Egypt the ship only foated 20
minutes after her plates were
crushed in by the collision. The
Egypt was lying to at the time of
the accident because of the dense
Jog and the purser declared she
was sounding her siren continu-
ously. Suddenly there came out
of the dense atmosphere the
shrek of the Seine's siren and
the freighter loomed up out of the
fog crushing the Egypt amid
ships.
With the crash terrible confu-
fusion followed. Because of the
listing of the ship only four or
five boats could be lowered. Many
persons jumped into the sea, fear
ing that they would be drawn be-
meath the waves when the Egypt
made her fatal plunge.
The purser said he thought ev-
erybody had left the boat before 1t
sank beneath the waves. He esti-
mates that Is passengers, thirty OF
the white officers and SO of the
East Indian sailors are missing.
BOSTON, May 22-Mrs. NJ. l..

two American ladies missing, were

had recently been in Boston. Mrs.
Sibley has relatives in Toledo, O.,

going out as teacher in southern

GAY FAXED
MURDER AND
THEN SKIPPED
Creditors of Farmer
Only MOurners-Quit
Investigation

MONTPELIER, May %
Sheriff Tracy of Washington
county has returned from Mon
treal, Detective Wood of the Bos-
ton agency mas returned to the
Hub" and Attorney General Ar
chibald is looking after other busi-
ness now that it has been rather
conclusively established that Will
liam f. Gay Of Granville was not
murdered and is somewhere in
Canada where he fled after stag
ing Thursday a murder on the
Montpelier road.
The state authorities have is
| sued the following statement:
"We are satisfied beyond
reasonable doubt that Gay
was not killed but went north
on the 2.15 o'clock train Fri
day morning.
This decision was reached upon
the receipt Saturday evening of
the immigration blank which was
filled out by James Z. Gray" Fri
day morning when, as a passen-
ger, this man entered Canada
from Vermont. He was a passen-
ger who paid cash fare on the
train leaving Montpelier Junction
at 2.15 a. m. The handwriting on
the immigration blank and that on
the check issued by William E Gay
are claimed by experts to be iden-
teal.
The state officials believe that
Gay wanted to get out of Vermont
and make a new start and some Of
them think that Mrs. Gay was to
have followed her husband. The
, tufts of hair found upon the au-
tomobile are believed to have re-
suited from Gays attempt to dis
guise himself by clipping his hair.
A new feature developing Sat
urday, was the finding of a revol-
yer, presumably Gays, under the
cushion of his machine. 1t had
not been shot.
Mrs. Gay was grilled by the de-
tectives and state officials at the
Office of the attorney general, and
she gave the impression that there
was no excuse for Gays leaving
home. She said Gay carried with
him about $140.
He has been twice married, his
first wife having died of acute
Bright's disease about six months
after their marriage. His present
wife, Blanche Austin, was married
to him II years ago. They lived
in Barre and Montpelier, until
they went west They have a son
10 years old. Mrs. Gays mother,
lives with them. Gays mother
lives about six miles from the in
ternational boundary but in Can
ada. Some believe Gay has gone
there.
The delivery of an insurance
policy at the Gay home on Thurs
day has caused some discussion.
1t was for the sum of $4,000.
During his residence in Mont
pelier Gay was an electrical engi-
neer and he gave that as his vo-
cation on the immigration blank.
There was a mortgage of $4,000
on the Gay homestead.
Sheriff Frank H. Tracy went to
Montreal Saturday afternoon in
an effort to locate Gay but was
summoned home this morning. He
was accompanied by two railroad
detectives one of whom knew Gay.
