The next query awoke the prime
minister from his weariness. His
voice now was clear and resonant
and carried to every corner, while
his auditors We're striving not to
lose a word-"What kind of people
don't like the Genoa conference"
"Quarrelsome people," he eX-
claimed with an impressive ges-
ture, who like to keep UP hatreds
between nations and who rejoice
at seeing conflicts arise"
The Next Question.
The next question read as if il

questions. Mr.. Lloyd George af-
firmed that in his Judgment the

instantly:

GROW
ON LAST YEARS
STALKS AT LEVY


special Correspondence to The Journal.
Levy, N. NJ, April 20,-A
curious phenomenon in plant
growth was observed here in
the garden plot on the farm of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Simms,
who live east Of Levy. New
labbages are growing on last
years stalks, left in the ground
over winter. The soil has not
yet been plowed for spring
planting. This freak growth is
attributed to the fact that the
old cabbage roots, being locat-
ed on high ground, were not
frozen during the winter.

ONLY 800 DOCTORS
PRACTICE IN STATE
Most Of Younger Physicians Moving to
Larger Fields Rural Hardships
Not Attractive.

RIrRIINGTON. Aug. l0.-There are
al present about GOO doctors in Vermont.
This fact has been brought out through
A careful survey of the small towns and
villages OF Vermont by the state board
of health officials. who have ascertained
that there are few doctors in the north
eastern section of the state and through
some sections in the central part. Most
Of the Younger doctors who are gradu-
atinr from the University of Vermont
are not locating in Vermont but are
moyinr along the broader fields. Some
of them are going to the western states
while OF hers are locating III the larger
citios Of New England.
The hardsbips that a doctor has to
undergo in Vermont. especially during
tho winter months in the villages does
not appeal to the younger doctors. During
the srmmer months when IT. Is an easy
matter for n doctor to make his c2ils

CASE AGAINST
MOORE CONTINUED
Saxtons River Man Arrested in Keene
for Driving Without Themselves
With Man Who Had One.

A case against Raymond II. Moore Of
Saxtons River for driving an automobile
without a license at NARROW Junction
\. H., July 30. came up for hearing be-
fore Judge Jordan in the municipal court
in Keene yesterday afternoon. He
pleaded not guilty and the case was con
tinued for hearing on recommendation of
Inspector Verne c. Swan of the New
Hampshire motor vehicle department
Mr.. Moore's father, who owns the ma
chine has a license in Vermont to drive.
The elder Mr.. Moore claimed it was not
necessary for his son to have a license
to drive as long as someone who had 4
license to operate a machine was riding
on the same seat. Raymond Moore, who
was operating the machine, stated he had
driven a car two years in France. The
law in New Hampshire is different in
that no one is permitted to drive an auto
mobile without d license except during
the time he or she is being taught to
drive and then they must be accompa-
nied by a licensed operator or chauffeur.
Owing to the reciprocity between auto
mobile officials of the state of New
Hampshire and Vermont, Inspector Swan
asked that the case be marked continued
fer hearing, until be obtained ruling
from the commissioner of motor vehicles
from this state relative to this particular
case.

West Dummerston Family Runs Into
Wreckage Left by Another Car
Which Left No Warning.

automobile drivers who tear along the
roads smashing into property and then
speeding away leaving wake of destruc-
ton behind them without revealing their
identity was emphasized again last night
about midnight, when an automobile
thought to be an Essex smashed into an
elm tree on the West Dummerston road.
then continued on 50 feet further and
ran into a telegraph pole, knocking it
over on to the highway.
When the pole fell. it carried with it
three croSs-arms bearing Is wires, thus
leaving mass of wires and wreckage
across the road. Another car. carrying
four people who had been in Brattleboro.
for the evening was returning to West
Dummerston. and, utterly unaware of
the danger that lay ahead ran head on
into the wreckage knocking over another
pole which fell on the car, giving the
occupants the scare Of their lives How
the autoists escaped serious injury is
mystery, and their remarkable escape
can be attributed only 10 the hand Of
fate.
The accident happened. as near as can
be learned. about midnight. An automo-
bile. containing Fred O'Brien and his
mother. Mrs. Mary O'Brien, both of
West DUmmerstOn. and two guests. Miss
Gladys and Miss Hazel Young of Pal
mer. left BTattleboro at 12.10 this morn
ing for the O'Brien home in West Dunn
merston. The party had been at Island
Park for the evening When H[r O'Brien
approached the curve near the junction
Of the river road and the hill read near
the Barber farm his car ran into the
wreckage caused by some other ear that
had gone over this road a short time be-
fore.
There was no warning sign of any
kind in front of AIr. O'Brien to indicate
that anything was aniss. As it was. the
momentum of the O'Brien car pulled
over another pole which fell on the car,
smashing the top and breaking the wind
shield Mrs. 0'Brien was badly shaken
up. as were the other members of the
party, and Mr.. O'Brien was cut by
! glass.
! Those who caused the original damage
/ left no mark to indicate who they might
! be, but it is thought that the car they
were driving must be damaged to 4 con
| siderable extent inasmuch as it knocked
over a tree and pole. it is thought
that it must be a high powered car to
| be enabled to continue on after causing
such damage or else it may be a Ford
which so. often demonstrates its remark
able ability to withstand all sorts of
blows and smashups without retarding
| its power to move on.
