The members of tliejunior Christian Endeavor society1 gave a pleasing entertainment Monday evening in the town hall. The first part of the program was devoted to recitations: Mildred Howard reading, The Junior-- Rally; Donald Parker reciting The Best Grandmother; Mary Phillips, Taking Dolly to Church; and six children, Leonard- Howard, Mary Phillips. Dora Holt, Bertha and Clifton Masculine Housekeeping. For many Jones the commuter, had- watched "summer come with 5 misgivings, Jones always went to the for a month or so, leaving him alone 2w-itb. the housework.

An-nually he. had seen the unwashed dishes pile up in vthe kitchen and annually he had made the vow to wash them regularly. But he never had time in the-morning before catching his train and he always put it off in the evening. His Sundays were ruined through being forced to clean up the mess. So, this summer he decided upoa a new system.

He purchased an army mess kit he saw for sale in a lot of salvaged of the day is, "How are we coming out?" for we. ore living in strenuous times, beset as they are with strife in eastern industrial calamities in our own country, and unrest throughout the world. However, when take a fair view of things, the movement is gradually toward that which is saner, more humane and more just We must, have, patience with civilization, the speaker, said people wonder why the league of nations did not go through after several months of preparation, whereas nations took years to prepare for war. The league of nations, the conference at Washington, the parley at Genoa and the later meeting at The Hague all apparently-seemed fruitless, but, the speaker aid, borne pood- is bound to fron tlieui. We must simply be pittirnt and see things through.

Interring to the union of the two churches, Dean McOollestpr said that each member must realize that he Is not liviifg -for himself. -experiment of All Souls church of Hrattlcboro will be looked upon with interest and this ex- Wednesday Morning BIRTHS. In Putney, Sept. 11, a eon to Mr. and Mrs.

James Farrell. ADVERTISE IN THE REFORMER cotitil and silk Aff1 FECIA is suggested, jlet it never be said "We have tried it before." Do not be hampered by past failings. Be inspired by the expectations of success. Above, all, don't be one of those persons who stands off to watch a thing fail. It is an interesting fact, the speaker said, that, the tradition of the Unitarian and the.

Universalist churches welcomes a change. Unity is achieved most certainly and surely not by an ideal held in common but by a purpose held in common. A purpose is the life of this united church. A' great deal Of harm is done in this, world by people who have zeal without knowledge. And "in addition to knowledge there must be good will.

To illustrate the effect of vvith-cut knowledge DeanFenn said that some lime ago a friend of his went' out hunting with a companion and while the latter was aiming at sx, partridge which had just left the" brush the gun went vOff. the friend receiving a charge of buckshot, in the face. The two, re-1 paired to- a nejir-bv 1 farmhouse, where the-injured man on the doorstep awaiting the of physician. A crowd soon gathered ami -among them was -a woman who. insisted in asking questions of the injured man.

Reluctantly he answered. Finally another bystander said to the woman, ''Why on eartli don't -stop asking the man questions, can't you see his face is paining, im?" know it," answered the good woman, "hut I thought if I could keep him talking' he wouldn't get lock jaw" Dpjin Fenn then stressed the importance of the church and the school, the farmer to teach goodwill and the, latter to teach knowledge, A chnroh with jealousy, suspicion and ill will can never teach goodwill and very often the cat of contention devours the pigeon of peace. There are scores of towns in this country where a union of churches ought to be accomplished. Such a union has a remarkable responsibility and offers an exceptional opportunity in far-reaching usefulness and these responsibilities and opportunities will be met Jully by All Souls church of Brattleboro. 4 Fallowing Dean Fenn's address, a solo was sung by- Mrs.

Arthur IL Brasor. after which Dean McCollester was presented by Rev. Mr. Wood. The swaker said; (that traditionallv we are different but in the outlook of things we are the same.

Al- li, is me general opinion or tnose working on the case that the car has so many distinguishing points that it will be located. It also has been suggested that someone may have driven it away for' the deviltry of the thing and have left it somewhere knowing that it will be fAind, MaJpr Taylor looks upon its disappearance straight case of theft. Major Taylor paid over for the car two years ago last May, and he has driven it over 120.000 miles. lie values it at about $2,000.

It has an olive drab body with black top, fenders and other. trimmings, is upholstered in grey corduroy, and the nprings had a leather boot covering.

The number is HII127, model -59, On the tarpet is a piece of leather to protect it from wear by the right heel, and on the dash is a nickel ash tray with glass cup.

Soon after Major Taylor left the car on Grove street some of the ladies at the church noticed two strange men standing near the parish house on the north side of the street. After looking around a bit the men crossed to the south side and looked around some more. There was sometmng aDoui mem that made the ladies recall the tact when it became known that the automobile had disappeared. The coupe- had a full supply of gasoline when it started on the Bennington trip. Major Taylor thinks there was less than 10 gallons in the tank when the theft occurred.

WALRUS TUSKS. Believed That Crop of Excellent Ivory Can Be Harvested Annually. A remarkable discovery at the seal on Pribilof Islands may prolong the world's vanishing ivory supply. Last summer an odiioxioub uuii ui- wna lnauien DV Kuvtrmueui seai ix hA rlit lfo tf its lone Bame recalcitrant mammal returned and to the supnse of both natives anu attendants the tusk had grown out five inches, the end still showing the ragged edge of the break. It is now believed that an annual crop of this excellent ivory can be harvested by cutting off one-half of one tusk each year from the bull walrus.

The one left intact is used by the mammal in digging clams and sea food. In a. year the stub would have grown nut- PTionirh in serve as a nickaxe, so the other tusk could be sacrificed for the fancies of man. Walrus ivory, is in great demand in Chins and where it is utilized for small carvings. Detroit News.

Electric Cooling as Way to Avoid Ifcmans Elaborate air-cooled, steel-constructed. refrigerators, the hnest of their kind today, as well as those wooden ones now scorned by icemen, soon will be replaced by modern, ec tiicilly operated cooling chests, elec-tvical' enthusiasts predict. They even sny that they will soon be as common as vacuum cleaners, and, that the mess of melting ice will become a thing of the nre many makes of these machines now on the" market, all having the ssirie basic principle.

though the methods of application vary. They depend on an electrically driven compressor and a liquid which will boil or change to gas at a Jow lemperature. Soit.e use ammonia, particularly the huge t-old storage plants some use sulphur dioxide. In addition there are a cooling ooil and a brine tank filled with a salt solution. The operation of the 1 whole is governed automatically 4y a thermostat.

When the temperature in the refrigerator a given point this thermostat, closes an electric switch and starts the motor which operates the com pressor ii jit ve ii valve to tl brine tank. The liquid is changed to gas, or boils, by reason of the higher- temperature of the brine, and in changing to gas it absorbs heat from the brine, which, becoming cold. but, being unable to freeze, cools the refrigerator and whatever is in it. When the temperature of the brine has reached a certain degree of coldness the themostat automatically opens the switch and stops the motor and the consumption of electricity. The liquid which has become gas gradually cools, assumes again the liquid state and returns to the compressor, where it presently starts out ii Khi ii on its career.
