Sidewalk Traffic
A reader calls our attention
to the fact that a host of of
fenders pay no attention what
ever to the occasional warnings
posted in our village that child
ren must stop riding bicycles on
the sidewalk. The effect of
such notices seems to be of the
most transient character, for in
a short time the nuisance is a
gain perpetrated as before.
Pedestrians on our sidehill
streets are particularly in dang
er. Owing to the use of pneu
matic tires, the bicycle has be
come a practically noiseless ma
chine, and when it approaches
from the rear, without any
sounding of signal of danger, as
ofter. happens, the person walk
ing has no warning until a bi
cycle whizzes past so close as to
make one jump.
There is ample law to coveri
this abuse, and if the cop makes'
an example of a few offenders,1
the object lesson will doubtless!
have the desired effect in rid
ding our sidewalks of this nuis
ance and danger combined.
VERMONT STATE NEWS
The Secretary of State has
suspended the license of Dr. E

cause of this suspension was
the recent collision with Rich

south, of Derby Line village.
Archie Mellen of Guilford

Inhabitants of Old Providence Island
Astounded by the Appearance of
American Seaplanes.
One wonders what the Inhabitants
of Old Providence island thought
when seven American seaplanes, with
that rending clamor of motor that
marks these powerful devices, swooped
down on her tiny harbor. The report
of the seven filers is epic In Its sim
plicity. "Some of them seemed scared," said
they. "They had never seen an air
plane before."
Life In Old Providence, as It ap
peared to the marooned sea fliers, la
primitive In its simplicity. The Is
land Itself la four milea long, lying
In the midst of the Caribbean sea
at a distance of 280 miles from Colon.
In Its center a wooded eminence rises
to what seemed the majestic height
of 1400 feet
Tbe harbor la too tiny and too shal
low to permit the entrance of big
ships, and so the island's only con
nection with tie outsido world is
through the semi-occasional visits of
a little yawl, which carries freight
and passengers each way. Sometimes
the yawl gets to Old Providence once
in three weeks. Sometimes it doesn't
Its schedule depends on freights, the
whim of Its master, the winds, the
conveniences of the day.
"Usually it brings the malls," said
the Old Providentials. "Sometimes it
doesn't."
FINDS SECRET OF HIS ORIGIN
Natives of Guam Enlighten Marine;
Disagree With the Theories Put
Forward by Darwin.
The theory that he had sprung from
some remote protoplasmic organism,
that his twenty-times-great-grandfather
was a wire-haired baboon in the wilds
of Abyssinia and other near-Darwinian
monstrosities, were all regarded by
Sergeant John Burrows of the marina
corps as so much "bunk." Still, his
mind was never at rest.
The sergeant re-enllsted after the
war and was ordered to Guam.
The other day a letter was received
at the marine corps recruiting head
quarters. It came from Sergeant Bur
rows In Guam.
"At last," he stated, "I have discov
ered where my ancestors havo come
from."
The sergeant explained that natrves
of the Island had enlightened him. In
accounting for the origin of man, they
Bald that everything in the world was
derived from a certain rock on the
Island of Guam, which first became
human, then a stona, and gave birth to
an men. From this Island men wore
scattered all over the world. They
forgot their language and "talked Uke
fools without understanding one an
other nor knowing what was btJKS.'V

Wealth and Happtnoea
Much of the anxiety and ears of
these days le needless and springs
from an overemphasis of the amount
of property needad for happiness. Ev
erything In our country tends to stim
ulate men toward excessive ambition.
Our climate Is rich in oxygen, and Is
an Irritant to work. The undeveloped
resources of our land appeal to cu
pidity even at a time when we begin
to realize that thtse treasures should
be conserved for our descendants. The
stories of successful tutu are exploited
with endless variations In magazines
tlint teach the art of getting on in

GOOD MATERIAL FOR BOILERS
Variety of Pumice Stone Is Coming
Into General Use in Japan Has
Many Advantages.
"Kofea Seki" Is a variety of pumice
stone which, as far as now known,
reports Vice Consul H. T. Goodler of
Yokohama, is only found in the small
group of Nlljlma islands (New Is
lands), which lie olf the coast of the
Idzu peninsula, about ninety miles
south of Tokyo. Though used In
Nlljlma from ancient times as a build'
ing material, only comparatively re
cently has "Koka Seki" become known
commercially In Japan proper. Be
cause of its durability, high tensile
strength and capability of resisting
1,300 degrees C of heat, it la suit
able for boUer and furnace construc
tion as well as inner linings of safes
and the manufacture of ice chests.
As it Is claimed, it can be easily cut,
will take a surface of paint or metal
plating, and ns nnils can be driven
in, It Is thought that the uses of this
material will greatly Increase. It is
however, In re-enforced concrete barge
building in Ji;-fl that it is best
known. j

The little dog's injury was severe,

finding the animal's sufferings insup

After a careful examination the phy

however, unable to take an anesthetlc,(

The king then proceeded with his In-'
