Floral Hall

Although not large, the display OF
art and fancy work and domestic
manufacturers in Floral Hall was of
rare merit and of much interest. An
exhibit of artistic paintings by Mrs.
Willis Mould was an attractive fea-
ture of this department. Owing
doubtless to the backward season and
the earliness of this fair, the exhibit
of vegetables was unusually small,
although five specimens of apples
and other small fruit were shown.
The east side of the hall was occu-
pied by the exhibits of the Boys and
Girls Club work, under the direc-
ton of F. d. Jones, county agrieul-
tural agent, and Miss May Truman,
home demonstration agent, and in
connection with the exhibit of the
Extension Service of the University
of Vermont and State Agricultural
College attracted much attention,
giving promise of developing into a
very popular feature of the fairs.
Calf Clubs Make Good Showing
The HYDE Park and johnson Pure
bred Calf Clubs had a fine exhibit
ton at the fair, consisting of ten
purebred calves, and everyone a good
one. The prizes were won as fol-
lows:
Jersey: First prize Guy Tenney;
second Lloyd Turner and third Will
lie Dick, all Of Hyde Park.
Ayrshire: First prize Douglas
Young Of Johnson; second Hubert
Rooney and third Russell Hicks, both
Of Hyde Park.

Poems and Songs Desired
"When I Saw Sweet Nellie Honea

To the Editor Of the Ev, ming Public Ledocr.
slr-Wili you obiise a daily reader and
admirer Of the Peoples Forum by printing
tho old song. when Saw Sweet Nellie
Home"r c. NJ. II.
Philadelphia. September 27. 1929.
WHEN SAW SWEET NELLIE HOME
In the sky the bright stars Rlittered,
on the grass the mooniisht foil:
flushed the sound OF daylight hustle,
Closed the pink-eyed pimpernel
AS adown the moss-srown wood path,
Where the cattle used to roam,
IL was from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
was seeing Nellie home.
CHORUS
was seeing Nellie home.
I was seeing Nellie home.
And twas from Aunt Dinah's quilting party
! was seeing Nellie home
When the autumn tinged the greenwood,
Turning all it's leaves to gold
On the lawn by the elders shaded
I my love to Nellie told.
As we stood together gazing
On the star beqpangled dome
How I blessed the August evening
When saw sweet Nellie home
White hairs ninEle with my tresses,
burrows steal upon my brow:
But loves amile cheers and blesses
LIES declining moments now.
Natron In the snowy kerchief.

Letter Carriers, Shoes

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Lcdoer:
Sir-NIight ] suggest that the proper
footgenr for the mail carriers would be
modification of the seven league boots!
However. the men who tug Uncle Sans
share of the task of getting letters from
writer's to destinations know what they
want, and have ndopted a standard
shoe, which will be made and sold to
them on terms that will fit both feet
and pocketbook.
Two interesting considerations enter
here. One is that the letter carrier
ought to be paid sufficiently well to en-
able him to meet the cost of living with
out culver; the other Is that he is
not. One of the not altogether salts
flying reflections in connection with the
cra of unbalanced costs through which
the Nation lately has passed is that en-
ployes of the Government had to stand
a little more than their share of the
burden, because their wages did not go
up anywhere near at the rate achieved
by the cost Of living.
II by reason of their present arrange
mcnt the letter carriers and others II,
the employ of the postoffice can get
satisfactory shoe at reduced cost.
there will be no complaint on part Of
the public. And it muy be well to re-
member, too, that the humnnizing policy
adopted in the Postofice Department In
cludes making conditions more attractive
for employees. ALONLO.

Letters TO the Editor
Women and World Upllft

70 the Editor OF the EVen.ro Public Ledoer:
Sir--When one attempts to list the
human qualities that seem most neces-
sary to the establishment of better
world, a great many Of them appear to
be those most characteristic of women.
It is not for nothing that war Is GUS
tomarily represented by a masculine
figure and peace as feminine, and there
In reason, too, in the personification Of
blind justice and Of mercy in womanly
robes.
The entry Of women into public
affairs and their widespread interest In
world problems are two OF the most re-
assuring feature of the present situation.
These are the reserves in the battle for
a better adjustment of life---a struggle
in which all Of us, whether we realize 1t
or not, are engaged.
Sir Charles Wakefield, head OF the
Sulgrave commission that has recently
come to America from England. does
not put IL too strong when he declares
that the women of the United States are
one Of the greatest assets of civilization.
Their Imagination, energy and spiritual
insight, he explains, are highly valuable
to modern society. Always women have
played part in the making of history:
but now, with their increased study and
information on current questions. and
with their ballots. they take more
prominent and promising place than
ever before. B. L. w.

Automobile Safety Devices

To NC Editor or ths EtentnD fhOHc LcuDeV'
Sir--So numerous are automobile ac-
cidents, both in the cities and along
country roads, that 1t Is not surprising
that Inventors should turn their wits
toward automatic safety devices. The
Scientific American reports the newly
begun manufacture Of device that ap-
piles the brakes, cuts off ignition and
blows the horn of motorcar the very
instant that pressure of fifteen pounds
comes against n patented wire bumper.
1t Is said that complete stoppage of a
passenger car is made by the automatic
means in one third of the time and
one half Of the distance required by
skilled drivers.
Fractions Of seconds count for much
in case of motor accident. With
this in mind the inventor has arranged
n button on the dashboard by which a
collision, can stop his car much
sooner than with foot or hand brakes.
Pedestrians will be glad to hear that
even though knocked down by car. the
force is minimized by the resiiency of
the wire bumper, and there is less
danger of being run over because the
automatic control has already stopped
the car the instant pressure is felt. In
surancc companies are said to be pleased
also that, with ignition thus cut of,
there is little danger from fire.
The one drawback is from the point
of view of the careless or heartless mo-
torlst who deserts his victim. The in
vention stops the car and thus delays
fight. This all sounds as attractive
to the police as to the populace afoot.
One cannot be too sure of the success of
such remarkable sounding inventions,
but doubtless day will come when
automobiles are manufactured with
some simple safeguarding device.
