McGowan returned yester day morning from Akron, Ohio,, where tie has been for six weeks .working with experts in the Goodrich Tire repair department, learning at first hand the Goodrich Factory method of repairing Fabric and Cord tires. A most up-to-date ' equipment is to be installed immediately and Mr. Mc Gowan will set up an establishment as Fabric and Cord tire vulcaniser in .the Hendy block on Coventry street.

Saturday afternoon about five o'clock the large Nash auto owned by contractor, H. O. Smith, caught fire and had it not been for the timely use of a small hand chemical would have suffered serious damage. Mr. Smith came up Main street from the East Side and left his car in front of Doctor Longe's-residence, while he was making some purchases. As he left the car he saw a cigarette stub that had been partly smoked up, the balance having ' stuck in between the back of the upholstering of the front seat and. the side of the car. He re moved -same and threw it ' on the ground, but evidently it .had burnt it self through the leather seat and set fire to the upholstering material, for he had not been in the store of True & Blanchard long when he was in formed that his car was on fire. ( Mr. Carroll Huntington sized up the situa tion and rushed to the car with a hand chemical 'and quickly extinguished the blaze, but not until about $50 damage had been done.

European Relief Committee. Mr. Hoover says that this has been the greatest and most "successful drive since the war. The full amount called for has been supplied and it will be possible to complete the entire pro gram oi caring ior tnee and a hall million children until next siimmor and possibly longer, owing to the fall in prices Vermont's quota in this drive was $35,000, but under- the direction of Mr. Emery and his committee the grand total attained was $39,671.26. The amount that the state committee actually raised was - $26,797.08, while the remainder of $12,874.18 was re ceived at the council headquarters and credited to Vermont. This amount came through various churches arid organizations especially due to the ex tensive publicity given by the "Liter ary Digest." - The various branches and chapters of the American Red Cross within the state, gave $6823.59 as subscribed. State schools gave $5098.57; from the churches of the state came $4226.10; from clubs and organizations $1644 .84; the balance of the. grand total being contributed by individuals.. The work of the state committee has been closed with their report. " Any contributions which have been delayed should hereafter be sent directly to headquarters of the European Relief Council, 42 Broadway, New York City. Mr. Emery says that this work has been extensive, but it was worth while to see how 'willing and how wonder ful was the response of the people to a really worth while object.

NEWPORT BAKERY !5 NEWPORT BAKERY Following is the letter Coll Emery received from Secretary Hoover on the part Vermont took in the Near East Relief: European Relief Council 42 Broadway, New York City April 11, 1921 Colonel Curtis S. Emery, Newport, Vt. Dear Mr. Emery: I wish to express the gratitude that we, all of us, feel for the fine service you have done in the Children's Re lief. 'This has been the greatest and most successful drive since the war. We - have received all we have asked for, and we will be able to complete the entire program of taring for three and one half millions of children un til next summer. Owing to the fall in the price of commodities, we can.v probably even carry a considerbale portion of this relief for many months longer. While I. am indebted to you for personal cooperation, the real reward which you and I will have, is the sat isfaction that we have jointly contri buted so materially to the preserva- tion of this great mass ci ennaren. Yours faithfully, (signed) HERBERT HOOVER Smoke Overcomes J. T. Flint and Death Results Soon After Removal from Fire , Island Pond Trims Newport. One of the fastest games that has been staged in Newnort . for a long time was put across .Thursday in the armory. And although the score balanced on the wrong side by eight points at the end of the second period it was a close game. Island Pond brought over a clean team of crack players. Their team -work celled and their shooting cood tn watch. At the finish they claimed the high number in a score of 34 to 26. They brought with them n orhnlo crowd of rooters and this added to the excitement as neither side of the hall spared its lungs. At the start it looked as though Co. L hadn't a chance, when Island Pond started off with eight perfect passes, and then shot five consecutive baskets without the least intef erence. By this time the home team had got a little hot under the collar and they went to it. Bigelow broke it up with a score, then Savage scored again. Is land Pond, shot another basket then Savage scored again, Bigelow scored a second time, Savage made a third and Bigelow a third. This tied the score 12 to 12. Island Pond took the thirteeth score, and Bigelow tied the score 14 to 14 at the end of the period. During the first part of the second period the score traveled along evenly for the two teams., Savage shot the first basket, Island Pond went ahead, Savage tied the score, Ed Wells shot a basket, the Pond team eaucht nn. then Bigelow scored. From this time on the visitors started gaining and claimed seven more baskets to two by Savage and Bierelow and carried nflF the honors in spite of frantic efforts on tne part of the home players. Jtfigelow was a star m the skirmish. He Dlaved hard and fast and was always orf the job. He has some little stunts of his own which were interest ing to watch Harry Savage, the voune-est and smallest nlaver on the team, is, one of the finest the com- pany nas put in at an. ie is not only one of the best shooters, hut as far as team work is concerned he hits the high places. His work last night was ; absolutely clever and his motions so quick that they forestalled all efforts of his adversaries. "He played center. Kennison, though playing in the posi tion of right forward, put up almost entirely, a defensive game, as did both PTiards. Jones and Wells. Even at that the Island Pond players were not covered as they should have been for such a swift team. At any events the came was first class and the. au dience, though hot nearly so large as 1 A. 1- 5 A last weeic, was an appreciate one. McCauley 's . orchestra played for dancing until one o'clock. COVERED HEADS IN CHURCH The village of Derby. Line was the scene of a severe fire early Thurs day morning which resulted in the destruction of a fine residence and the death of its owner and occupant, J. T.. Flint. The fire was first discovered by Mrs: Flint, who was awakened . by smoke, which had filled the house. She gave the alarm to a neighbor, Mr." Brown, who phoned the fire de partment. , When the firemen arrived they found Mr. Flint at the foot of the stairs overcome and nearly suffocated by smoke. He was removed, but ow ing to his age and feeble condition, to gether with his near suffocation, did not recover and died shortly after removal. The fire is supposed to have caught from the burning but of a chimney early in the evening. The fire was held to this one building and other properfy saved from destruction. Mr. Flint was nearly 80 years old, and for many years had been one of the leading business men, having con- ducted two drug stores, one on each side of the line. About two years ago he sold his business to W. H. . Brown and had retired. ! Before the Year 1661 Men Did Not Remove Their Hats During Religious Services. Abovt 1661 an agitation commenced to have men remove thefr hats In church Pepys makes gentle fun of It, The custom was first to remove the hat to cover the eyes In , prayer, and later It was taken off altogether. The Introduction of the wig helped the custom for It proved difficult to keep one's hat on over a tousled mass of false curls. This arso led to large hats with plumes going out of style. . Then, Instead of wearing hats In doors, men went to the other extreme, and often carried them In their hands, when out of doors. The Puritans In England continued ' to wear their broad-brimmed hats, however. Indoors and out. Men's hats 1 and clothing were changed with the French Revolution ; Igs went out, and then with the rise of Napoleon, dress became military In style. In 1815, during the Restora tion period, arose the "stovepipe hat," and breeches, at the same time be gan to be worn to the ankle.
