Show is review of important events
of the year 1912, and, needless to say,
verything is treated. in humorous
manner. For example the Harem
scene from "Kismet" is reproduced
almost in its entirety, but this ap-
plies only to the actual scene. In the
center of the stage is huge bathing
pool and into this the bathers, thinly
clad, plunge and cavort about.
Also there is runway extending
from the stage over the footlights to
the rear of the theater intersecting
the auditorium in the center. Along
this lighted pathway trip and dance
the chorus girls much to the delight
of the audience.
The production, by far the most
enormous ever staged at the Winter
Garden was produced by Ned, Way
burn, who has devised many original
stage tricks.

WoRl DIS FAIRS.

The disposition of foreign nations towards the Panama exposition makes it apparent that worlds fairs are com ing too thick aald fast This is feel ing which has also been indicated by the action of the various states of this country in the matter of contributing state buildings. With such an expo sition every fesw years it is but natural that they shoalld be set down as too much of a gaod thing. While the
 San Francisco exhibition will go
 through and be successful the need of
 taking warning therefrom should be
 apparent.
 In this respect the New York Times
 says: Let the great exposition at San
 Francisco be the last in this country
 for many years. until circumstances lend a new impetus to international
 displays of tha3 sort. There is much talk already of the celebration in 1920 of the tercenten tenaTy of the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock. No historical anniversary could be worth fer of celebration. but the idea of a worlds fair should be abandoned The foundation Of New England can be remembered in some other way just
 as appropriately. The descendants of the Pilgrims have plenty of time to arrange for a great national festival worthy of the occasion and the cotIn- try, but there is not the slightest req son why it should take the form of a fair
 This is a suggestion which Is worthy of the deepest consideration The ter centenary should and will be ceIe- brated but the growing unpopularity
 of worlds fairs should have it's warn ing.

A DECADE OF AVIATION.

It Is n0xF ten years since the Wright brothers after long and persistent en- deaVoTs demonstrated to the world that there was merit in their contention that heavier than air machines could be made to fly. It was then but a brief period that they were able te remain in the air but since that time rapid progress has been made in the science Of aviation. Both in this coun- try and iD Europe have there beer valuable contributions to history through this line of effort
 It has been conclusively demon strated t}Eat the flying machine is 3 success but the various models and the extensive improvements all date from the early achievements of the Wrights. Europe has even devoted greater attention to the various prob leras than this country Having been given the idea they have advanced il with plenty of financial backing and enthusiasm. through private organiza- tion5 and governments.
 The tenth anniversary of the first flight finds that not only has the con struction of the aeroplanes gone through many important changes. but its control and the navigation Of the air show vrenAerful advancement. Ii has already been demonstrated that sSlatton can now be zputato many uses

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Existence.

Usually it is put forth as a knock down argument that if men did not have to work for bread and butter they would not work at all
 It is assumed as a matter of course that money is the representative of the only universal motive of human energy and that if all were assured a good living nobody would turn a hand.
 Let us suppose we have so developed the state that every child is assured of care and due training. No ignorant, unskilled or criminally defective be- ings are brought into the number of independent adults. If incapable of decent life on arriving at manhood they are taken care of in proper insti- tutions.
 Let us suppose also that every per son is fed, housed and clothed by the state. No man or woman needs to labor to make a living. The entire motive of subsistence is eliminated
 Instead of this resulting in the paralysis of all energy it would be but the beginning of progress. As Moryd Sheridan says: When our existence is comfortably assured the battle of fife will have begun in earnest"
 Men, with their present stock of ideals. would of course drop into idle ness under such circumstances. 1t is frankly to be admitted that altruistic feelings and civic conscience must be greatly strengthened. Conditions now are the only practical ones for half barbareus creatures such as we are at present

Nothing has created realization Of the necessity of sanitation like the detrimental effects of bad sanitation. The good results which are to be obtained thereby are gradually bring ing the world to understand. the i'm
 portanee Of cleaning up The unsan- itarv place not only creates disease, but 1t contributes to fnehciency and a slackaess in everything. The eff fleets of a clesnR1p are necessary and as important in the municipality as in the household and are productive Of magnificent results.
 In this connection 1t is an important step which has been taken fer the city of Guagaalfn, Elcuador, long known as a pesthele for its release from a bondage of ii health, The government has determined that sanitary measures must be taken for the removal of the chief cause of its decay and the sign ing of a ten million dollar contract for the establishment of a sewer and water system at that port, and the draining Of the marshes about the city promise untold benefits to that South American city.
 What was done for the Canal zone in the way of sanitation can be ac- complished at Guayaqun and it is much the same 'tTea tnent which is re- Quired- It was 8 realization of it's un- healthy condition and thus it's in ability to attract business which stim- ulated this important move. which has been needed so long.

CHRIS STMAS-

Christmas is the day which marks 2 great change from the ether three hundred and siXty-fouF days of the year It is time when a different spirit grips the hearts and thoughts of millions in common and through out the world extends a deeper real- ization of that uplifting message Peace on earth good will to men,
 Christmas is the season of giving. It was over nineteen hundred years ago that God gave His great gift to the world. He gave the best that He had for the uplift and betterment of mankind From 1t we draw the lesson that we should give the best that we have in the noble service of making others happy Such is the true Christ mas spirit. It is the time for joy and g1adness. the secret of which is to be found in giving, not necessarily presents of money, or of great value. but kindness thoughtfu1ness, a help ing hand sympa thy and encourage ment-gifts which may be harder to give but which win be more lasting and beneficial
 It is this interpretation of Christ mas time which gives the greatest cheer and contributes the most to happiness Christmas comes but once a year. but it calls for the kind of unselfish activity and thoughts for others whether they be in equal or less fortunate circumstances, which should exist throughout, not a brief period but the entire year It is through such exempliication of the great lesson that there will be peace on earth to men of good. will.

BANKING AND CURRENCY ACT.

With the signing of the new cur Tency bill 8 second important attain ment which President Wilson set be- fore him at the beginning of his ad- ministrauon has been secured This legislation has been before the coun- try for a number of years the need of reform in the currency and bank ing laws having for some time been apparent It has at last been accom- plished and new regulations are ready 10 go into effect What the result win be remains to be determined That there are many good features in the bin is apparent It has steadily grown better in it's various stages through congress due to the fact that it is not the strict product of partisan action The best minds in congress have had their influence upon it's construction and while it may not be considered a perfect piece of leg1slation, it does offer improvements Its good and bad features are hound to be fully deter mined after il has been in operation for time
 There is a duty of much importance imposed upon the president in con- nectjon with this act when he is given the power tD appoint the federal re- serve board which will be in supreme control of the new system. Great re- sponsib1lity rests upon them and such calls for the exercise of great care in their selection.

While it has been shown that the aereplane is not @ toy but great useful machine for transportation purposes 1t has also been made plain that safety in flight is still far from perfection.

Edward Hall of New York, who had
been given a nights lodging at the
police station, Tuesday, was before the
municipal court, Wednesday morning.
The man came down to Augusta from
the lumber camps, where he had been
disabled for seven weeks on account
of an injury to his back and after
being turned out, Wednesday morning,
was unable to continue his journey,
and returned to the station. 1t was
learned later that he had on the pre-
ceding day walked from Waterville to
Augusta, to which exertion was with
out doubt due his inability to continue
his travels. He was brought before
Judge Lancaster, and as the man
seemed worthy of assistance arrange
ments were made for him to be taken
to the House of Correction for three
months, by which time 1t is thought
probable that he will have entirely re-
covered from his injuries.
