"The Vermont

Switzerland, the Vermont Of
Europe was the subject of an adj
dress by Mrs. Dorothy Garfield
Fisher Of Arlington at a rural
teachers conference i'm the armory
Friday afternoon, a continuation
of the morning conference and UNI
der the direction Of Miss Rose
Lucia of Montpelier. Traveling in
Switzerland last summer with her
husband, Dr.. Fisher, Mrs. Fisher
was struck by the similarity Of
That country to her native state.
ne mountains were higher and
the valleys wider and agricultural
pursuits more fraught with diff
cultles, yet everywhere was pros
perlty and, the prosperity of
healthy, happy people There
were no beggars, no rags
evident, no young girls on the
streets with rouge on their faces

love of their country and their

Mrs. Fisher YVES preceded by
Miss Elizabeth, secretary of the
Vermont Young Woman's Chris
tian association and by Miss Mar
garet Hamlin of Amherst, agricul-
tural counselor for women at the

Miss Hamlin's subject was "The

The purchase of this mammoth plant IN Elizabeth, ~

another illustration of the wonderful foresight and asute

providing the capacity needs of this new but ttamc

its amazing expansion the thrilling rate which has so

Plant Capacity Now 1872, 500 Cars and Will
Be Realized on Output Soon

Even before the acquisition of the Elizabeth plant the
total production schedule for 1923 called for minimum
of 100000 and is apparent that with the
orders now in hand and still pouring in upon this enter
prise OF meteorc progress but table character the united
output OF these plants will probably reach full capacity
figure of 332,500 vehicles In 1928.
A the Dulant interests still reaching out for
other big plants and planning build additional new
factories, is, indeed well nigh impossible figure with
any degree of accuracy the total number which
they may turn out through their constantly growing chain
of divisional plants within the ensuing year but this num-
Der bids fair to exceed the largest the present

which in any case appeared to him
distasteful. Far from saving a hun
dred pound a year, he was spending
more than his income. His savings
had dwindled to barely e40. His busi-
ness was stagnant, but still he trundled
his barrow hither and thither, calling
out ''old iron! Old iron!' And he
struggled to pay the fair price.
DURING q great period of his life
Jim had enjoyed an unaccount-
able but stanch friendship with .
gentleman named Isaac Rubens.
Isaac Rubens was q Jew, in a busi-
ness slightly similar to his, ana he
conducted a thriving trade at thu
corner OF the Holy Angel road. Isaac
was In many respects a very remark
able man. Large, horid and puffy,
with keen eagle eyes and an enor-

found knowledge Of the history and
value Of objects Of art. He was,
moreover, q man Of his word. He
was never known to give or accept .

The friendship between these two
was in many respects singular. Isaac
was q keen man Of business. and Jim
was of very little use to him. Isaac's
furniture was the real thing. with
names and pedigrees. He did not deal
in old iron, but In stones and jewels
and ornaments. Nevertheless, ho
seemed to md In Jim's society GER
tain pleasure. Jim would call on his
rounds and, leaving his barrow out
in the road. would spend half an hour
or so chatting with the Jew across the
counter.
Sometimes after supper they would
call on each other and smoke q pipe
and discuss the vagarfes Of their
calling or the more abstract problems
Of life and death.
When this trouble came upon Jim
he Immediately repaired to his
friends house and told him the whole
story.

SeaWeed as Food.

A MAN Of science has predicted that
sooner or later shredded sea-
weeds "predigested sargassum,"
cream of sea moss" and other nauti-
cal foods will be popular articles OF
diet That certain kinds Of seaweed
are edible has long been known, but
fortunately the human race has not
yet been forced TO depend on this
source for its regular meals.
Seaweeds have been eaten and en-
toyed for centuries and in parts Of the
orient are a staple article of diet-the
literal "staff OF life" Many varieties
are composed largely Of gelatin.
These have been eaten for ages By
the Chinese, Japanese and the inhab-
itants Of many islands In the Pacific
ocean.
Thousands Of japanese coast dwell
ers gather q sufficient quantity Of sea-
weed in July, August and September
to last them until the next seasons
harvest. The people 60 out to the
marine harvesting fields in rowboats
equipped with long poles. to the end
Of which are attached stout hooks.
With these queer implements Of hus-
bandry they tear the seaweeds loose
from the submerged rocks, then take
them ashore and spread them out to
dry in the sun. Then they are taken
to local factories, where they are
boiled, shredded And otherwise pre-
pared for use as food.
| A cleaner. and morey wholesome
article Of diet cannot be imagined.

nounce 1t to be both patatable and

1t should not take, the place Of some
of the common foods in general use.

many OF the materials now commonly

potentially valuable food are wasted
on American shores every year. and
throushout the world the waste is so
enormous as to be beyond computa-
tien.
It'll predicted that the time is eoEi-
ing when the farmers of America will
save their potato parings for seed.
When potatoes become so valuable
or farmers so unscientific, as to make
that necessary it will be time to give
some attention to the harvesting OF

An Excellent Story From the Pen of Stacy Aumonier

Eyes. dear; I've i1ad some good for
tune"
Annie was very wide awake now,
ana she sat up and clapped her hands.
"Oh. Daddy. when can we go:"
quite soon, my dear. Perhaps in
few weeks"
MIHEN he had closed the door. he
w dabbed his eyes again and
thought, ut was unthinking OF me.
oughtn't to have woken her up
, but she is all I have"
A week later he wrote to Clara;
Dear Clara: understand that Tor
the last week you have been living
with Ted Woollams. I do not criti-
cize your action. We are all as God
made US. / shall in the dew course
take diverse proceedings not as
act Of hostilety to you but that you
may marry the man OF your choice
and be respectable. also shall share
with you the result Of a good deaf
last week in order that you may not
want. and SO close with check for
s2,07o. / think this fair JIM"
It was Isaac who helped him over
all the difficult problems which oc-
Cured at that time, and 1t was Isaac
who persuaded him that he was over
doing the fairness" to Clara. He
said that $500 would be lavish. So
In the end Jim altered the check to
that amount. It was Isaac who took
FOL, hn
as kind Of dumping ground for his
superfluous stock. And it was Isaac
who, a year after, returned letters ad-
dressed to Jim in a handwriting he re-
cognized. "Gone away. Address not
known" And it was he who. in later
years, bore the brunt of the wild invec-
tive of a drunken harridan who said
that her husband had deserted her and
would not hand her any OF the for
tune he must have inherited. He re-
piled that he knew nothing. Mr.
Canning and his daughter had leh
London. He thought they had gone
to Australia.
When she had gone he said to him
| self:
sit would distress Jim to know
that a woman who had once been his
wife had sunk to such condition"
As he passed through to the room
at the back he smiled and thought.
How fortunate she did not come in
here.
On the table was a large bowl of
red and white roses, with the label
and card still lying on the table. On
the card was inscribed. with love to
Uncle Isaac. A." The postmark on
the label was a village in Sussex.
