good ventilation is possible without
large openings.
Remember that thermometers are
better cages of heat than are the

healthful temperature for room in

The matter of speaker of the
house for the next legislature is
more or less before the public.
From the nominations last Sep
TENDER, it looks as if there would
be no dearth of material and very
good material. John w Gordon
of Barre, Harvey R Kingsley OF
Rutland, Orlando L Martin of
Plainfeld and Mason S Stone of
Montpelier are all more or less
prominently mentioned for the
place. Aaron H Grout of New
port has been proposed by his
home paper, Judge Frank ID
Thompson of Barton, Fred l.
Davis, Secretary of the State Fair
Association, along with others
are $50 named as of sufficient
size to receive consideration. We
are rather inclined to think that
Orlando L Martin is the man. He
has served in both branches of
the legislature which gives him
frst-hand knowledge of proceed
ure and the way to get things
done. 1t also gives him acquain-
lance with men as well as affairs.
But further than this acquaint-
ance is the acquaintance which
comes from long association in
various large fraternal orders,
with leadership. He knows some
body in every town in the state
and, from this wide acquaintance,
he would know how to fill his
committees with men who fit.
By temperament, experience and
acquaintance, he is we'll fitted to
discharge this important duty.

We have a new American law
which says that women do not
change or lose their nationality
by marriage with a foreigner.
This sounds simple and sensible.
Thus an American woman who
marries an Englishman is still an
American and a British woman
who marries an American is still
Britisher. But the English
law says that woman loses her
nationality by marriage to a
foreigner; so the English woman
married to an American is not
an American when in the United
States and living in England she
is not a citizen of, the British
Empire because by her marriage
she has become a subject of her
husbands country, while accord
ing to the new American law,
she is still a British subject, her
status being unchanged by her
marriage. This makes it sort of
a Chinese puzzle and the woman
in the case pretty nearly with
out a country.
David Lloyd-George, prime
minister of England for the last
seven troublesome years, has re-
signed, being deserted by the
Uhionist wing of his following.
He is the last of the war
premiers having outlasted them
all by several years. He has been
a great leader and as he is a good
