have known families wherein girls
grew up in the most dangerous igno-
rance because of their false modesty
in which their mothers had been
reared.
A mother has little baby girl who
is attracted by the warmth and the
color of a candle-flame. The baby
puts out her little hand and tries to
grasp the. beautiful dancing fire,
Don't do that" says the mother.
You'll hurt yourself" But the call
of that dancing flame is, for the mo-
ment, everything that the baby hears.
She pushes her fingers into the fire
and the fire burns her.
Now what does the mother do? She
gets flour or olive oil and applies it
to the burn. She kisses the poor

Belfast, Me, Dec. 21.-Frank B.

CHANGE LAWN
TENNIS RULES.
Radical Departure from Ex-
listing Rules as to Service
Is Contemplated--V Value of
Cheering Is Propounded
By California Coach.

New York. Dec. 2f-As if to atone for
its oversight in permitting the formation
of the International Lawn Tennis FEEDER
alton to be undertaken by Continental
authorities, the English Lawn Tennis As
ISOLATION is now coming to the fore with
numerous suggestions for changes in the
Davis cup and general tennis playing
rules The English Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation proposes to submit at the Inter
national Lawn Tennis Federation meet
ing in March a new service regulation.
The radical departures from the exist
ing rule can be perceived when il is I'M
derstood that if the new regulation is
adopted it will be necessary for the serv-
er to replace the foot raised from the
ground in service behind the base line
before stepping into the court instead of
swinging into the court with the raised
foot once the service is completed as is
permissible under the existing code This
change would have the effect of slowing
up a player who followed his service
with a rush for the net, and since a large
proportion Of English players advocate
the deep court game it would be more
detrimental to the English game than 10
more any other country in which tennis
has reached high class
A number of changes in the rules gov
erning the Davis cup play are also put
forward as desirable, although England
lost the possession of the international
tennis trophy last July, when the United
States team defeated the cup defenders
three matches out of five.
The English Lawn Tennis Association
would allow the playing of Davis cup
matches on turf or natural or artificial
gritty material. which appears more
likely to fit gravel than dirt court.
Walter Christy, the University of Cali
fornia track coach states it as his opin-
ion, based on % years of observation,
that one-fourth of the efficiency of track
men comes directly from the cheering Of
the rooters The athlete, he says, must
have music and noise to keep him going
He claims that in the intercollegiate
races on the coast, California men In
variably slow down while passing the
rival rooters. but that upon reaching the
other side of the grandstand they speed
up because of the proximity TO the root
ers from their own school. The principle
involved is said to be one well known as
"crowd contagion and is a recognized
factor in determining the strength of the
contestants It is stated that man
breaks quickly into his reserve strength
when a thousand throats are helping him
WELD the battering ram. \ show of alb
normal strength is usually coincldent
with a loud cheer from the bleachers

whcih ran into her yard and into 9
tree. lending color to the clam of tht
defence that Mrs. Turner had died as
the result of an automobile accident OF
was the victim of violence at the hand:
of an automobile party.
Judge James Minturn in his charge
to the jury drew special attention tC
the testimony given by Eli Goldberg
who said that Detective Jamison hat
told him that Meriarity had been ar
rested for the crime in order that the
reputation of the detective agency
might be saved. He also pointed oI1
that the agency had been employed tt

ROCKLAND IS SHUT
FROM OUTSIDE WORLD.
In Midst of Holiday Rush,
Burning of the Sheepscot
Bridge Cuts off Communi-
cation from the West.

Rockiand. Ne, Dec. 2L-In the midst
of the holiday rush this city was prac-
tieally shut off from the outside world
Saturday by the burning of the Sheep
scot bridge. Rail communication on the
eastern end of the Knox and Lincoln
Division was stopped until P. NJ Sat
urday and even then it was found impos-
sible TO transfer mail and newspapers.
Not daily paper of any sort reached
the city Saturday and citizens who have
not been in telephone or Geographic
communication with the outside world
are in absolute ignorance of what hap
pened
To make matters worse, electrical con-
nections between the Kennebec valley
and the Glen Cove power house suddenly
ceased at P NJ, bringing the trolley
system to standstiH and leaving the
crowded stores in darkness.
Lanterns. candlesticks and lamps were
brought into service and Main street
saturday looked like a page out of an
other century. More than 2oo0 shoppers.
stranded here by the suspension OF the
trolley service flooded the hotels and
lunch rooms, and any kind of vehicle
with which they could reach home com
manded a premium.
The auxiliary service at the street rail-
way power house was gotten under way
at p. NJ, too late to accommodate the
hordes of shoppers who always come
here on the Saturday night before Christ
mas
Nearly 200 barrels of live Holsters des-
tined for Christmas menus in Chicago,
st. Louis and other Western cities were
in the express cars which were held up
bv the burning of the bridge in Wiscas-
set. They were Immediately brought
hack to the city and placed in salt water
until night, when they were forwarded
on the Boston boat.

MccANN TO COACH AGAIN.
Bowdoin Well Satisfied With His Work
Last Fall.

Brunswick Me-, Dec. 21-Thomas A.
Mccain of Bangor. who coached the
Bowdoin College football team last fall.
will again be the coach in 1914, according
ton an announcement made Saturday by
Joseph C. Macdonald. the assistant man
ager of the Varsity football team.
Last fall Bowdoin tried the experiment
of having a coach who had had no col
lege training. While Bowdoin did not
win the State championship the college
as a whole was well satisfied with the
work of Mccain, and efforts were at
once made to secure him for another sea-
son. Before coming to Bowdoin Mccain
was for years the coach of the Bangor
High school football team.

INDEPENDENT COS.
CRAT|F|ED AT ACTION.
Will Be Given Use of Thou
sands of Miles of Trunk
Lines of the Bell Co.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds told friends Saturday
that scores of the independent tele-
phone companies in the United States
are gratified with the result of the de-
rartment of Justices investigation
which will give them the use of thou
sands of miles of trunk lines operat-
ed by the Bell Co.
The department, he said, hardly
could have expected any court to or
der the Bell Co. to allow independents
to make use of Bell equipment, and
there practically was no chance that
the independents could raise sufflclent
funds, if they had the desire, to build
competing long distance lines.
To bring about competition in inter
state business, it was pointed out,
would have required an outlay of mil
lions Of dollars, and probably would
have meant loss or a severe falling off
in the receipts of the Bell and the in
dependents that tried to get long dis
lance business.
According to figures laid before the
attorney general by n. c. Kingsbury,
vice president of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co, who conduct
ed the negotiations which led to the
agreement of Friday night, there are
mere than 10000 independent telephone
companies in the country. The opening
of the Bell lines to all these eompa-
MES, under the simple and inexpensive
plan, it is declared, will mean that ev-
cry ore of these companies has the
right 70 make use of the Bell lines in
every part of the Union.

In addition to taking the ground

High Cost of Liv=

Washington, Dec. 21.-The high cost
of living will take a prominent place
again in Congressional discussion, early
next month, when hearings will be-
gin on Representative McKellar's bill
to regulate cold storage of food prod
ucts.
Two proposals have been advanced
for the regulation of the traffic. One
would prohibit the interstate transpor-
tation of foodstuffs in cold storage
more than a certain length of time, and
the other would limit specifically the
length of time which certain products
may be stored.
Forces on both sides of the question
are preparing their lineup for the
hearings, which promise to be extern
sive and interesting. Representative
Covington is chairman of a sub-com-
mittee which will take testimony and
make reports on the Mcclellan bill and
other cold storage measures.
