Capt. Johnson and Lieut. Steuwe
are making the Carnation troop feel
that scouting is the real stuff. First
aid is controlled by the Girl Scouts
and the girls thrill over bandaging a
cut toe or a bruised knee. Now comes
the request for Hollis book on the
Care and Feeding of Infants" If
seems that Scout Suney Ham has a
young infant in her household and
wants to know how to care for it
properly. This is making scouting
really worth while.

Star of Bethlehem-Red and white.

workers. Last Friday two scouts

scouting are to be the guests of these
scouts.

Fortunately these scouts can build
a fire on a windy day with one match
and no p Two scouts passed
their fire test last Tuesday-Dorothy
Cup Choy and Marie MARCEL. The
Boy Scouts were present and a com
petition ensued, to see which could
build the best fire in the quickest pos
sible time. The boys beat us a bit
but we think our fire was just as good
if not a wee bit better than theirs.
Lieut.. Miller produced some marsh
mallows and a roast was in order.
The following scouts were awarded
attendance stars: Dorothy Cup Choy
and Marie MARCEL, gold stars for per
feet attendance for one year. Rose

Paiva and Melinda Pacheco were
awarded silver stars for so percent

FAIRNESS IN JUDGING AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENTS

Automobile accidents make no entertaining topic for
conversation for printing But like all such things they
receive amount of popular attention that not always in
strict keeping with their magnitude real significance.
Not inrequenty the constant iteration of the obvious
truth that there automobile mshaps leads to the belief
that motorists class must be careless and that egisa
tive steps should be taken to curb the reckless who operate
cars.
Invariably, however, the popular impression is that
accidents the increase and that since the number of
fatalities mounting caIeeSSneSS likewise must be greater
than it was before.
Yet the fact the matter that the presentday
mobile driver good deal crcumspect than his pre-
decessor and that the knowledge of how to operate car
safely and saney is the property Of greater number of
people than in former years that the law as well as com
doing their shares in keeping mishaps at
reasonable level Indeed the figures compiled by the sta
tstica department of the National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce prove beyond chance Of contradiction that cond
That the number of accidents should increase from year
to year in unavoidable since the number Of
in rises constantly Fortunately however, the number
of accidents does not keep step with the increase in the
bers of in but falls behind in steadily diminishing
ratio All of which to prove that the whole automo
bists growing careful competent or both
and that the pedestrian beginning to exercise the for
the lack Of which he is so often criticised.
1t is quite interesting to the figures on which these
observations based In 1915 when 1,754,570 automO
biles in there 1928 automobile fatalities
death for every 296
The following year the number Of automobiles to
2423788 and the number of fatalities to 1897 making
death for every 1928 cars.
To the superficial observer the 1884 deaths that
caused by automobiles during the year 1917 may have APP
peared like terrible increase in the recklessness of NOR
tosts but in reality the figure further reduction of
the accident ratio for indicated that now one death was
laid to every 1856
In 1918, although the number of automobiles close
to the five million mark 4941276 to be exact the 1872 IA
tates of that year really reduced the accident ratio to
death for every 81 cars.
The 1919 figures which were 1927 deaths and 59454
cars in use, give death for ever sos cars.
While the 1920 statistics not yet at hand the Ma
tona Safety Council has estimated that they will show less
than $4,000 fatalities Accepting this figure and dividing
it into the 1904 272 automobiles in in that year find
that fatality laid to every group of $50 automobiles
All of which, if figures anything, proves cOnclu-
sve that matters improving at steady rate and that
the motorst himself apparently doing very fair share
toward that improvement

outdoor Auto Show held in
Newport last .ear the automobiles
were run off the street, which
was then cleared for dancing. Mu-
sic was furnished by two peppery
bands, giving he dancers continu-
Gus accompaniment.
An innovation will be attempted
this year, however. Perhaps the
clearing of the street and the run
ming off of the automobiles on ex-
hibition detracted somewhat from
the business. At any rate when
time came to make way for the
dancers, the crowd had reached its
height and automobile dealers were
loath to drive away the many
prospects who had accumulated
around the multiple exhibits.
During both nights Of the Auto
Show there will be dancing in the
Armory, new structure that af
lords a splendid surface. With
the assurance Of good music, there
is bound to be fun for both old
and young enthusiasts for the
terpsIchorean art.
1t is a recognized fact that to
have a we'll attended motor We
hicle show. there must be some at
traction separate and distinct from
the exhibition of automobiles. The
Newport business men i'll keep
ing their eye peeled for the utmost
advantage, are making the big
dances at the Arnory the attrac-
ton which will serve to attract u
great many of the young people,
among whom a large class of au-
tomobile buyers are numbered.
With its many good restaurants
and hotels, Newport will be able
to care for he throng that is
bound to populate the Border City.
Among the fine places where one
may eat choice delicacies, is the
Sunset Tea Room, a conversion of
the former Memphremagog Yacht
club. Dances will also be held
here on both days of the Auto
Show at 4 p. N. in the afternoon.
Newport merchants are offering

special inducements to buyers on
the days of the Auto Show. There
is every indication there will be a
great influx of purchasers next
week on Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Today's edition of the Caledoni-
an-Record is published largely in
the interests of the Newport Auto
Show With 4 greatly augmented
circulation of $4,000 copies, this
issue covering thoroughly not only
all of Northeastern Vermont, as
usual, but the three townships of
Bronze, Missiquoi, and Stanstead
in the Province of Quebec are be-
ing blanketed with publicity.
The Canadian circulation is
made possible through the cour-
tesy of the Sherbrooke Daily Re-
cord. A broad territory in the
Province of Quebec is thus tapped
and is now directly available for
the first time to the merchants in
Newport.

BOBOLINKS
WITH FEATHERS
AND WITH CLOTHES
A Vermont Editor PhilO-
sOphizes on the Habits
of the Reed Bird

The Rutland Herald carries the
following philosophy about one of
the states most well-known song
sterS:
The Bennington Banner says:
The male bobolink sits on a tel
ephone wire and sings while his
wife does all the work of building
the nest and feeding the family.
The Herald's information about
the habits of Bennington bobo-
links is necessarily limited, but in
Rutland county the bobolink
hasn't yet acquired the telephone
habit. He may use the wires for
sort of readymade antennac,
from which he may at times broad
cast the "liquid notes that float
from the heart within his throat"
but he doesn't cucumber the tele-
phone wires a great deal.
True, he lets the female of the
species build the nest and feed
the family, but then even the hu-
man bobolink does that at times,
and the world is full of female
song birds spouses who are glad to
do the drudgery if only their cock
bobolinks sing sweetly and faith
fully.
SO far neither the Banner nor
history has charged the he bobo-
link with unfaithfulness. He APP
pears about the first of May in his
handsome suit of black, white and
brown and while his song lacks
something of extended repertoire,
he is cheerful and melodious
singer who makes his song heard
and admired
No dismal Jenny this cock
bird warbler with his merry, jung
ling lay! There is neither the
weird melancholy of the whippor-
will nor the pensive sentiment of
the Peabody-bird. He sings the
joy of living and the spirit of
spring. He is the poet of growing
grass, expanding leaves and bud
ding flowers. His minstrel lay is
one of fellowship and optimism.
No doubt the women's clubs and
the cookery classes Of the bird
world talk about Bob and call him
a bad provider. They probably say
all he cares about is to dress up,
stick out his crop and sing but in
bobolinkdom he is understood. His
artistic nature is appreciated. His
shortcomings are forgiven and he
receives the kindly tolerance of
bird bohemia to which song, po-

etry and romance appeal as well
as cereals, grubs and insects.
We practical folks are inclined
to be little hard with the human
bobolink. We cannot sing and to
make verse we are ashamed. We
are absorbed in practical matters
like newspapers, railroads and
agriculture, and we forget that
that there are those whose work
it is to sing, to dance, to make
merry, just as it is our work to do
the more serious if uglier things
of life.
Also, we forget the tragedy of
the bobolink, who, after a brief
spring and summer of singing and
cheerful comedy, finds himself
mute, his family grown and
fledged, his mate relieved of hatch
ing and brooding cares and all
the world of bobolinks ready to
descend on cereal fields and
gorge themselves to fat peril and
the menace of the epicure.

"they quit their northern summer

fields, which they at times CLEAN
so completely that it is useless to
attempt to gather the grain. Here
they become so fat and sluggish
that they can scarcely fly, and
when shot are frequently known

Rice birds, ortolans, or butter
birds! What tragic end to the
CHEEKY songster of the spring and
early summer. And yet, in a way,
how typical of the human bobo-
link when, voiceless, unromantic
and often gross, he must retire on
the laurels and gains of his sing
ing youth and face the unromantic
end of the life of song.
The world is full of human bo-

modern main street in the State
of Vermont will be respondent
with myriads of colored lights.
June 3rd and 4th last year, the
first annual Newport Auto Show
was held, and IN spite of glowering
weather, the very first outdoor
motor vehicle exposition ever held
in the Green Mountain state, was
a thorough success.
Profting by the invaluable eX-
perience gained last year the
Newport automobile dealers and
business men were again anxious
to avail themselves of the many
advantages of an outdoor show
Early this spring the project Of
again holding the Auto Show was
opened for discussion at meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce.
With enthusiasm the measure was
favorably voted upon and soon
plans were formed to carry out
the show
That the Newport Auto show
this year will eclipse the affair
held in 1921 already is conceded.
Elaborate eparations are being
made to decorate Main street
making it a veritable gem sur
rounded almost entirely by the
waters of Lake Memphremagog.
Before the Auto Show, New
ports fine cement street will be
cleansed as spotlessly as a kitchen
floor. Very early Tuesday morn
ing, the city water will be turn
ed on the street at its upper end
and down the gentle incline of the
street the water will sweep carry
ing back into the lake every par
ticle of dust and dirt.
Then the band stands for the
accommodation of two separate
bands will be erected and the
street will be closed between Sec
.ond and Coventry streets. For
two days the automobile dealers
will own the area-way that eX-
tends between these two streets
and all traffic will be detoured
in order not 20 interrupt the pro
gress of the show.
