Viewing the conference in retro
spect, all the delegations renewed af-
ter Mondays meeting their express
sions of Qualifications over the re-
suits. The burden Of their comment
gave precedence to the naval limita-

affecting China as constituting the
crowning achievements Of the negotia-
tions.

alone among the nine nations came in
to the conference with reservations
and with apparent popular apprehen-

general manifestations OF satisfaction.
In the naval treaty provision estab-

weapons with which to check the ef-
forts Of the militaristic party to build
up national bogey Of an American

Japanese are said to feel that, though
they entered the conference fearing
Japan might be placed on trial before
the world for incidents in which she
took hand in the past, they can re-
turn to Toxic, not only without loss Of
prestige, but with new pledges Of
peace in the Orient.

INCOME TAX FACTS

Changes in the revenue law are OF
material benefit TO the average family
man. Under the revenue act Of 1921
a married person, living with wife or
husband, whose net income for 1921
was 5000 or less, is allowed a per-
sonal exemption Of $500. Under the
revenue act Of 1918 the exemption al
lowed a married person was $1,000,
reg irdless Of the amount Of net in
come.
The normal tax rate is the same. 4
per cent on the first $4,000 Of net in
come. Given his personal exemption
Of $500, plus $46O for each depend
ent, married man with three children
the average American family-will
pay this year on net income Of $4,000

1921 he would have paid tax Of $50.

BENNINGTON COUNTY IMPROVE
MENT ASSN. TO HELP RURAL
SCHOOLS.

During the several years, previous
to the World War, many Of the rural
schools in Bennington County were re-
built for the purpose Of providing in
creased air space TO comply with the
requirements of the State Board Of
Health, which demands 200 cubic feet
per pupil, and also to afford better
lighting in accordance with the State
regulations. Some little improve
ment was made in heating and ventila-
ton, drinking facilities and out-hous-
es, but the amount done was entirely
inadequate and probably no improve
ment was made in two-thirds Of these
schools. Now the State Boards OF
Health and Education have establish
ed higher standards and are co-operat-
ing in an effort to get the rural school
boards to meet these standards. The
State Board Of Health has closed sew
eral schools in the County because OF
insanitary conditions and the State
Board Of Education is using more lib
orally funds at its disposal for the en-
couragement and aid of towns in the
improvement Of the general sanitary
conditions and in obtaining better
equipment
At the solicitation OF several school
authorities, the Bennington County
VT. Improvement Association has
agreed to cooperate with the towns
and with these State Boards in this
effort for betterment Of the schools.
At the time Of the organization Of the
Association, the improvement Of rural
schools was a favored project and,
during the first three years, consider
able was done in that direction; prizes
were offered for competitive efforts on
the part Of the pupils in the improve
ment Of school property. The Asso-
citation also encours ged provision OF
hot lunches, and to that end, furnished
a number Of schools with blue fame
oil stoves So, in taking up this pres
ent project, the Association is enter
ing upon no new lire The utter lack
of ventilation, improper lighting, in
sanitary drinking equipment, and toll
cts. is a serious hindrance 10 the pro
gress Of the pupils and a menace TO
public health and morals The Asso-
ci~tion is undertaking TO enter in on
equal share, with the State and the
Towns. in financing certain Of these
necessary improvements. This in
crease n the annual budget should be
met IN part by the popular member /
ship fee and those who in the past
have supported the Association will
soon be asked % renew their support
