SIS A WEEK GIRL SHOULD
PAY $40 FOR HER HAT
Special by United Press tire.

Special by United Press IRE.
New York, Nov. 1S.-Society and
clubwomen are discussing today the
statement of Professor Simon Pat
ton, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, that a girl who draws a salary
of eight dollars a week is justified
in buying a ten dollar hat instead of
laying aside for a rainy day. "Such a
girl is right" the professor is quoted
as saying, 1.-The girl who spends
money On her clothing will be mar
ried and will make a better wife and
mother than the one who saves her
money or gives it to her family"
Professor Patton sounds a little
bit unusual in his Speech" said Mrs.
Henry Parsons, philanthropist and
educator. when he says a girl who
spends her money on finery is more
moral than the girl who gives finan-
cial assistance to her family, l can't
agree with with him." Mrs. Reilly
thinks the professor is right, and she
is a suffrage worker.

BIRD THAT KEEPS A SLAVE
FrIsate-HIrd Forces tho Booby-Bird
to Supply Fish for His
Dinner.

The booby-bird never leaves the
broad seas, where his harsh cry is
heard from the Hebrides to the
Faroes and from the cliffs Of Scot
land to the coast of Norway. He re-
wells In the storms and screams above
the roar of the sea. The BOBBY has
green feet, yellow eyes, and a defiant
head covered with a yellow cap Each
OF its wings is three feet long and its
beak Is so stiff and so strong that
1t fears no enemy but the frigate-bird.
The frigate-bird is the terror of the
birds OF the sea, though he ignores
all but the BOBBY. Owing to the
breadth of his wings, the frigate can
not fish; he is forced to remain in
the air. But as he cannot get fish
In the air, and as he requires fish
for his nourishment, he presses the
BOBBY into his service. When hungry
he swoops down upon the BOBBY and
gives 1t a vigorous thrust in It's throat,
Then the booby's mouth opens and
the fish caught in it drops out. The
fr1gate has only to give one peck al
the booby's throat to get his dinner
1t happens occasionally that the
BOBBY attacked by the frigate has
nothing in its mouth. When the fri
gate peeks in vain, he belabors his
slave with his beak and drives him
bruised and terrified, into the sea te
catch fsh.

Believe Life May be Prolonged.
Ne who are devoting their lives to
rs eSddy of longevity believe that in
days to come a man of ninety will be
in his prime, and old age will begin
long past a hundred years.
Scientists have proved that the sim
pie life, temperate habits, exercise, and
an active mind are essential to a long
and happy life.
10. When the blood gets thin and slug
gish and ereeps lazily through the
veins, and the arteries begin to harden,
there is nothing that will enrich the
blood, improve the circulation and re-

organ in the body so quickly as our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic Vinol.

Mrs. Michael Bloom, Of Lewiston

she had to be wheeled around in an in

GUNNER TRIAL
END TOMORROW
Today Devoted to Summing
Up by Both Sides.

New York. Nov. 18.-Charies G. +
Wahle, chief eounse for -"Gyp the
Blood" Lefty Louie" Whitley Lew
Isl and "Dago Frank" the gangsters
on trial for the actual killing Of Her
man Rosenthal, plans to address the
Jury for three hours today in summing
I'D for the defense. Assistant District
Attorney Frank Moss will speak for
about the same length of time for the
prosecution late this afternoon.
As Justice COTS charge to the jury
probably will be lengthy, the justice,
until tomorrow. Then, of course, the
fate of the gunner will be in the
hands of the jury.
1t is the general belief Of the law
yers and laymeQ who have followed
the trial closely that the jury Will not
REQUIRE much time to reach n verdict
The state is very hopeful that it has
made its case, but is far from being
cocksure about 1t. The gunmen's
counsel said they cant see anything
but an acquittal for all four defend
ants"
Mr.. Wahle spent yesterday preparing
a skeleton of the defense's case re-
auested by Justice Golf and promises
to have it ready for Justice Golf to-
night. In the Becker trial Justice Golf
also asked the defense for a similar
skeleton, but it was not forthcoming
In time.
"Rose's own story" said MI. Wahle
when it was recalled that it was Roses
story that convicted Becker, was not
c~orroborated In the present trial, and
the cross examination proved that he
was not telling the truth. When the
Jury disregards the story, as the jury
must, only the witnesses who ident-
fed the defendants as the gunner are
left to be considered"
Mr.. Wahle said that one of the
strongest points in his case is the fact
that none of the gunner, according
to their own testimony, knew Rosen-
thai and that therefore they wouldn't
have known whom to shoot even II
they had gone there for the purpose Of
shooting him.

these districts to be conferred in single
representatives of Turkey and each O.

mand separate war indemnities.

was quite free from microbes. BY the
use Of an ingenious apparatus for
Matching the chickens and then rails
ing them for a certain time, he was
able to produce animals which did not
contain any microbes, and they were
able to live, and appeared to be as
healthy as usual. His apparatus
served in the first place as an ineu-
bator for Matching the eggs and then
as a chamber where the chickens are
able to live as long as may be de-
sired. M. Cohendy kept the chickens
in his apparatus for As days, and the
contents of their digestive a
blood and so on, were found to be free

alive liz not seem to suffer at all from
being transferred to the germladen
atmosphere, for they grew up success

LUMBER MEN CONFER.
Twenty-Five Present at Wednesdays Westinghouse on List to Be Sent Memhers-Freight Rates Discussed.

The Lumber Manyfacturers' associa- tion of Southern New England held meeting in A. B. s. hall Wednesday,. The association numbers 75 members and there were present 25. President c. H.Child of Putnam was unable to attend. so c. M. Ely of Manchester pre- sided. Three new members were vot- ed into the organization; official notice was given of the death of two mem bers, H. D. Moulton of Monson, Mass, and J. M White of Coventry.
 Anent the question of membership it was suggested, as the plans of the association were so feasible and bene- i1cial, and that as they appealed to all lumber manufacturers, journey through the three states, Massachu- setts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, from which the membership was drawn, that the membership could be more than trebled- It was suggested that in the spring some of the mem bers might get an automobile and makea systematic canvass of the states mentioned. No action was taken upon the suggestion. The entire forenoon was devoted to the matter of diSpoSing of lumber in the hands of the members. There is a sales committee, and this committee, according to the action talk en Wednesday forenoon, will hereafter receive a statement from all members desiring to profit by it, of all lumber that they may have on hand and for which they are seeking a market These lists will be sent to the sales committee chairman between the 18th and the last day of the month. The lists will then be printed and sent to every member of the association be- fore the 9th of the next month, which will afford the members an opportuni- ky to know where there is available lumber, what kind of lumber, and the quantity wanted. The sales committee is to be a sort of clearing house for the association. It is expected that this Information which the members will give will tend to make the sales of the members of the organization much larger and more profitable than at present The expense of the work will at present be borne by the association, expense will later be borne by mem bers individually
 A recess was taken at 12.30 o'clock for dinner
 The session for the afternoon opened at o'clock, and another member was voted into the association The com nittee on conference reported relative to the matter of a new freight rate into eastern Massachusetts, further into New Hampshire and Maine and also into western Connecticut It was really a report of progress only, as the committee has as yet received no

ROOD IN COURT.
Three Counts Against Him and Fourth to Be Named-Case Continued to January {.

Wednesday morning Clinton c. Rood, the chauffeur who struck and injured the Hedin and Hurteau boys with an automobile Monday afternoon, appear ed before the police court, but was not put to plea. Prosecuting Attorney D. Frank Buglbee stated that there were three counts against Rood and that fourth one would be added before the case came to trial. The counts charge Rood with operating a motor vehicle on Main street at a speed greater than reasonable, with operating a motor ve- hicle on Main street in a way to en- danger lives of people, with operating a motor car on Valley street at greater speed than reasonable, and the fourth count will charge Rood with operating a motor vehicle on Valley street in a way to endanger the lives of people.
 Prosecutor Bugbee states that reports from St. Joseph's hospital tended to show that the injured boys were rest ing as comfortably as could be ex% pected, and he hoped that one of them at least would be in condition to ap- pear in court and testify for the state within a space of two weeks. He therefore suggested that the case be continued for two weeks. Judge Will liam A. Arnold ordered the case con- tinued until Saturday, Jan. 4, and Rood was released under the same bond g1V- en Tuesday afternoon
