Editors Kennebec Journal:
I find it difficult to let these fine warm
sunny days and the pleasure | have been
getting out of them, go by without Civ
ing a portion of it to your readers On
Feb. 18th, we went to Santa Monica beach
where in the warm sun we sat in the
sand and watched the. breakers as they
rolled in, reminding one of Old orchard
beach After lunch at Hotel Arcadia We
visited the carnation field, where we were
nermitted to wander about among IL
acres of pinks, one of Gala lilies. one OF
English violets and three acres OF straw
herries The sight was worth going
long distance to see. with the pernis
sion of the proprietor we took baskets
and picked what berries we wanted a
few days later our party of six, TOOK
carriage drive to the San Gabriel Mis-
sion. where we spent little time III
viewing the interior of this old building,
the priest not forgetting to remind US
that they accepted silver. On our way
ont we halted at the San Gabriel winery,
which has a capacity OF 20 tons q
cranes per day. In the cellar were 200
watts each holding $500 gallons. When

ately opened the door into the sample

these goods l should say they were all
right. We drove on few miles to n
| ranch owned by Frank willard. formerly
| of Readfield, where our horses were
stabbed. and in few minutes our lunch,
including the coffee and other choice
| things provided by Mrs. Willard. was
spread upon the table and a happy COM
| many was made happier. The day was
perfect and long to be remembered Last
saturday we went to Long Beach, which
to me is the finest | have yet visited
The beach is broad and clean and being
hard sand it affords fine Il mile drive
We remained over Sunday stopping al
the new Hotel Del Mar where we could
look out upon the surf as II came rollin5
lin. Yesterday was another red letter day
Mt. Low and Rubio Canon were viste'
by our party. The ride up through tn
poppy fields into the Canon. then up tn
incline 5000 feet thence by electric roa'
winding up the mountain till we reached
a height of 6lO0 feet is not easily de

our coffee and ate our lunch, while W
could look off oyer. the valley covere

the Pacific. Would that you all nigh
enjoy a day like this. In Few days

A KNoTTY PROBLEM
Propounded by Member of AUGUSTA
Board of Education.

A member of the school committee
was visiting one of our suburban
schools the other day and had a class in
arithmetic in the floor, He wrote upon
the blackboard for the class this cues
ton: How much greater than three
fourths is fourfourths2'
The class was uncertain about il and
we submit the question to our readers.
simple enough of course. and Won can
answer it instantly. Bit before we
state what tie committee member said
was the correct answer, we will say
that this little question has puzzled
others before. Colonel Gilmore. Il
learned officer of the United States
Army decided that four fourths was
one fourth greater than three fourths.
But Superintendent Webb of the
Philadelphia Clearing House answered
at once-"Why, four-fourths is one
third greater. than three-fourths." And
this is the way he proves it.
Four-fourths is one-third greater
than three-fourths. @. f. d.
Proof: Three-fourths plus one-third
of three-fOurths equals four-fourths.
That looks plain apparently, but
when the same question. was put to
Charles ". Walters, an expert ac-
cuuntant. he answered:
why, one-fourth greater. of course"
How do you prove it, Mr. Walters 2"
You don't need to prove it," said the
EXPERT accountant. IF you have three
quarters ana l give You one quarter
then YOU have four quarters, or a dol
iar. ANY one can see that. That
proves that four fourths is one fourth
greater than three-fourths"
a banker who said it would look silly
for him to be figuring against the head
Of the Clearing House, and so declined
to let his name be used proved that
four -fourthS was one-fourth greater
than three-fourths by simple substrac-
ton, thus:
Four-fourths minus three fourths
equals one-fourth: three-fourths di-
vfded by fourth equals three; one
fourth is therefore onefourth of three
fuurths.
And that looks all right but a profess
sOr of mathematics in the University of
Pennsylvania proves just as conclus-
lively that -fourths is one-third
greater than three fourths. He figures
it this way:
Four fourths minus three fourths
equals onc-fourth. Proof: Three
fDurths plus one-fourth equals four
fourths: Il plus equals Il; a divid-
ed by 3 a equals onc-third
tfut now NJ. $. Ryan of San Antonio,
Texas, says that is all wrong for:
"Three-fourths of four-fourths is one
and one-third, therefore if three
fourths Of four-fourths is one ,and
one third. then one-fourth of three
fourths is one-third of three fourths
which is one fourth Figuring on
this basis" says Mr.. Ryan, Il would
say four fourths is fourth greater
than three-fourths.' -

Discharge of Young Women Demand
ed Because Their Relatives Were
Working i'm the Mines.
LACE MILL FORCED TO CLOSE
OWNERS REFUSED TO DISCHARGE
THE GIRLS AS REQUESTED,
And 1000 Employees at Once walked
Out-COnditiOnsi in Pennsylvania
and Elsewhere.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June I-Because
the general manager would not discharge
five girls whose relatives are still at work
in the mines, the Wilkesbarre Lace Manu-
featuring Company, the largest in the
United States, was compelled to shut down
to-day. Some one thousand persons are af-
fected. The lace makers and cotton work
ers are strongly organized and have been
helping the striking miners in every way
possible. 1t appears the lace makers
learned that relatives of the girls were
working in the mines and the girls were
given the alternative of either quitting the
lace mill or having their relatives leave the
collieries. Failing in this the cotton work
ers' union requested the discharge of the
girls, but the manager refused to comply
The employees of the cotton department
thereupon quit. The manager then asked
the weavers what they intended to do, and
after a meeting the weavers replied that
they could not work with unfair" work
ers and also quit. The shutting down of
the lace mill was the only important de-
velopment in the Wyoming region to-day.
The general strike situation remains I'M
changed.
There is a persistent rumor afoat that
nonunion men will be brought into the coal
fields to mine coal. This cannot be done
because practically all the anthracite
miners in the country are located in this
region and all are on strike. New men can
not take their places, because under the
laws of Pennsylvania no man can be en-
ployed as a miner who has not first OBJ
tanned a certificate showing that he has
had a two years experience at anthracite
mining These certificates are issued by
examining boards composed of miners ap-
pointed by the presiding judge OF each
county in which the anthracite coal is pro-
duced The only way the companies can
start their colieries is by a break in the
ranks of the strikers. At present there is
indication of a break.
There was a mysterious air about strike
headquarters all day. President Mitchell

cite or the West Virginia strike. District

Relief work among the striking mine

strikers from their homes is troubling some
