The East Side fire alarm has been
and will be shipped to that place

this week. This system was installed
in West Derby for fire protection
priqr to Newport being made a city,
at which time the two systems were
connected using the same whistle at
the Frost Veneer mill. The East side
fire alarm-was disconnected when this
change was made and has not been in
use since.

Saturday afternoon about five
o'clock the large Nash auto owned by

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.

Emery Praised by Hoover.
CoL C. S. Emery has recently re
ceived a personal letter from Tfrbprt
Hoover, exnressincr oTatitudA fnr- th
fine work he has carried on as treas
urer of the Vermont State Committee
of the . 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.

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,

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.
