It has Instituted a moving hygiene campaign at Chartres, where first exhibition was given. In a motor truck equipped with hygienic suggestions and apparatus from which lectures are given to mothers. Originally th Red Cross planned to devote much time and energy to rebuilding of the destroyed towns and villages In the devastated districts. It wss soon found that this Is virtually Impossible until after the war, snd Is not favored by the French government.

In Che first place, the inhabitants are not all rvatjy to return to their former home cities until the Germans have been driven further back than at present Secondly, the work involved stupendous difficulties because to rebuild any given city or town, means that quantities of material and labor forces entirely unavailable at present would be needed.

Feb. 21. 1918. Editor of The Rutland Herald, Rutland, Vermont. Dear Sir: I have something on my mind that concerns me deeply, and I beg you to consider giving It expression in The Herald.

As I look on witb-more distant perspective I notice at home a growing tendency more extreme than is general throughout the country, to close our public institutions on account of the difficulties with ooal supply. Now. I am thoroughly in sympathy with all public spirited deed tending to support our administrator and eliminate hardship and suffering, but I can see great harm in the interpretation of regulations to close those institutions that should be educating our future citizens for the gigantic task before them and to leave open those which serve ofcly a limited number of club members or pool players. The burden of my remarks Is of course the Y. M.

C. A. and other similar Institutions. We. lu tbe field, heartily desire to keep the "home fires burning" in the Y.

C. A. We reaF ixe that to close the borne association Is to cut off the source of spirit and funds that have flowed so copiously into the treasury of tbe war work council. Let me urge all to keep the borne association boomiigt. give It loy al support and look forward to the time when tbe boys attending those classes, reading those books snd enjoying those meetings, will help lead this country to a moral victory in the great reconstruction period that will soon follow this war.

I have heard a few In my own town withhold their support from tbe association because it forbade smoking or because of other petty differences of opinion. I cannot conceive of such a narrow mind. Let everyone do his bit somewhere and first at home. Very respectfully yours, SINCLAIR T. ALLEN.

ble Company growing larger eTeI7 day, more marble workers came, and as the company could not build houses fast enough for the newcomers they settled either in Rutland or Center Rutland. The Italian Aid Society al grew in membership, and later they drtided to build a house in Rutland, as the majority of the members lived in this neighborhood so Its Utle and character were changed to read: Italian Aid Society of Rutland and Vicinity." The Vermont Marble Company gave us much encouragement by offering us a piece of land on which to build our house free of charge, for which kindness we feel very grateful. Of course, there. wsa a proviso not to me this house for profit or for making a nuisance out of It. This house has only two rooms; In one of them, which Is 22 ft.

by 20 we bold oar meetings, the other is 10 ft. by 10 and Is used by tbs Secretary. This is to show that the house was not built for profit, as there la no living room. although there should be one for a Janitor. There are onlv two keys to tbe bouse, one for the President and the other for the Secretaory.

Therefore, the house is always empty except when there is a meeting. I have tried several times to have this house exempted from taxation, as 1 know there are other club-houses in Rutland which are exempted be-i cause thev belong to benevolent! societies. I went to see the town r4re-tentative and senators of this county and urged them to plead for our cause but have failed lo obtain favorable results. At teat I had the exemption clausa for a term of ten years put tn tbe March warnings, but ft was voted down. there a prejudice against these men.

these pioneers of the marble in dustry, if you will allow me to call them by that title? These colonists and their descendant have always been law abide ard have nc criminal records in tbe local court. Their children, with but very few exceptions, have bad fine education, and some of them are cojjeee graduates There are lawyergdoc-tors. professors of language stenographers. architects, pharmafists and school teachers who are an honor to tbe Vermont community where they were born or raised, and the Italians feel proud of these young American citizens. Whv not give these people a fair show.as it is given to people of other natlonalltv? Are they less patriotic than the rest of the American people? Man of these young men have volunteered for service, some of them are already at the front somewhere In Europe and have died for their co in-try? others are scattered at the different camps and ready to go at the first command.

The parents of this young generation having lived around here for thir-ty-alx rearm, and behaving like good citizens, I think, aieAuutled to some recognition. Therefore, we asx tbe voters of this city to kindlv vote for tn?" exemption from taxation of our house. Respectfully, ANDREW CTOZZl. VIOLIN LESSORS.

The department is receiving several hundred tons of supplies dally, and Is reshipping about 75 per cent of them to points nearer the front. Tbe warehouse capacity of tbe department exceeds 100,000 tons, and the personnel of nearly 200 consists largely of volunteer Americans not liable to military duty.

Some history of the Itolisu Colony St Proctor, und subsequent Italian Aid Society of this city located near Center Rutland. I thought It would be interesting to the people of Rutland In general, and to the voters in particular, to know the origin of the Italian Aid Society composed of the marble workers of Rutland and vicinity.

About the year 1881. the late Senator Redfield Proctor, God Bless his soul, took a trip abroad which combined both pleasure and business. Being at the head of the Vermont Marble Company, which at that lime was odIl a small concern, the Senator visited Carrara, the world renowned marble place, in order to see if he could derive some benefit for his company bjr that visit In fact, he was so much impressed by the many works of art and skilled workmen that he decided to Induce some of these men to work in hi shop at Sutherland Falls, now Proctor, Vt. Therefore, in 1682. six cotters arrived a I Sutherland Falls This village at tbat time was almost a wilderness and business here was done on a very moderate roale, workmen coming from Boston to uork on the company's orders.

After having installed these six young cutters, the Senator thought ft wise to send for six polishers: so there war a whole dozen of otarhle worker from the same city; tbat la Carrara. Italy. Tbe event was advertised all over the country, and business began ts come fast to old Sutherland Fails. Having achieved good results from this first immigration, these men were encouraged to send for their wives, brothers, relatives and friends, who could have been useful to the community. nod so in a few years quite a large number of people came to Join the new settlement.

Carrara. Italy, then being the largest exporting emporium of marble In 'the whole world, possessed numerous quarries oa her mountain ranges where about twenty thousand quarry-men and mill men were employed, also hundreds of skilled workmen in the shops. As It Is the cnee In these vast enterprises, accidents would happen now and then, sometimes fatally to the quarrymen. who were exposed to the most danger. At last the quarry and shop owners thought of finding a relief for these and together with the working class organized a mutual aid society, which still exists at the present time and been great help to many families.

The Proctor Italian settlement remembering tbe benefits of this society began to assemble together tn order to see If the plan of (be mother country could be followed here, even on a mall scale; la faet. on the 12th day of February, 1894. a society ws organized In Proctor with the title or Italian Mutual Aid Society of Proctor and Vicinity.
