We hear much in these days of
household economies" In many in
stances ''Ieakonomics" would be a better
word. So frequently do people, in an
earnest effort to save waste, waste more
than they save. We present herewith
Il shining example, copied from another
paper and headed Saving Old Paint.
"Old paint that has become hardened
in the cans may be used. Pour a little
inseed oil over it and let it stand over
night. The next morning run it through
the meat grinder, using the peanut but
ter cutter. The dry, hard pieces of
paint viii come out a fine powder. and
to this should be added enough turpen-
tine and linseed oil to make it the
creamy consistency of paint BY soak
ing the grinder at once in kerosene it
may be cleaned easily"
OF course the paint thus rescued won't
match any other paint, and there prob
ably won't be enough of it to cover any
thing which could not be covered with
the contents of one small can purchased
ready-prepared at the hardware store
Valuable time and fairly valuable ma
terials win have been used to prepare
an article of doubtful value, and the
meat grinder soaked in kerosene will be
ruined for kitchen use.
From all of which it may be seen that
economics" like Landseer's colors. must
be mixed with brains to secure the right
result.

Gravel Roads
(Bellows Falls Times. }

After all that has been said against
gravel roads the fact remains that there
are many. many miles of superior road
in Vermont today and the number is in
creasing every month. We are begin
ming to learn that gravel road properly
constructed and properly cared for is the
easiest riding and finest road made.
Keep the trucks off for two or three
weeks in the spring and fall; the drag
going after every rain and the gravel
cart of the patrol division busy and what
more can the travelling public desire?

BREAD CHEAPER IN MOSCOW
Meat Also Lower but Other Staples Are
Rising

Rising
MOSCOW, July l5.-For the first
time in several years prices of the two
staple foodstuffs, bread and meat. have
shown slight drop in the Moscow mar
kets. But other staples, such as sugar
and butter, are rising. simultaneously
the Soviet ruble which for more than a
month had stood at about 100000 to
che dollar, advanced in value to the
ratio of 3,800000 to the dollar
A number of factors contributed to
the drop in bread prices. among them
being the open sale on the markets of
the contents of American relief ad-
ministration food packages. and the ar
rival in Moscow of grain from abroad.
Prices are dropping also in the
famine area. and in the country they
ore gradually becoming lower than in
