Aid From Auto Association


And your automobile association can
render another distinct service. Use
your influence toward the formation of
county good roads associations, whose
main object shall be to study the local
road conditions, and thus furnish both
the State Highway Commission and town
officials with reliable information and
substantial help. You should use your
best efforts to get Changers and all in
terested in the subject to unite with
these county good roads associations.
Work together as a county unit. Get the
county commissioners and the town road
commissioners and selectmen to come to
these meetings and discuss the whole
subject from a county standpoint. See to
it that your county is getting a fair and
equitable share of the State bond faoney
and assist the commission in seeing that
that money is expended to the best ad-
vantage in each county. Don't commit
the folly of thinking that automobiles
are the only people interested in better
roads. Get everyone to join in gen.
uine good roads movement, in which all
interests are represented
The War and Federal Aid
THE early improvement of all roads
in Maine or any ether state is a prae-
teal impossibility by the people of the
state itself The job is too big for the
state to work out alone. Federal aid
must come some day. and while the Eu-
ropean war may for the present retard
this movement from lack of revenue, it
may be that this same European war
is the very thing Congress needs to spur
it on to perfect federal aid legislation.
Maine occupies peculiar position in
this matter. which may offer particular
and unique appeal to the federal author
tiles. She not only lies upon the border
of another country, but she has a long
coast line. the nearest of any American
coast to Europe, and this coast territory.
as everyone knows, is inadequately sup
piled with good roads 1t seems to me
that when Congress undertakes in any
manner to take broad view of possible
foreign complications. the question of
better roads must be leading issue in
such discussion, and as for Maine, while
it will show an unusual hazard, it may
mean an equally unusual opportunity to
get funds for better roads,

How the Grange Can Help

There is one particular, practical way
in which the Grange can prove of great

to get, a good. practical man TO devote
his entire time during the snowless
months to dragging and patrolling the

REPLIES no JANE adams

EoILOT LAY bOOk:-PermlC me TO
say few words in regard to Jane
Adams statement on child labor.
We have several kind of reformers,
and each kind want some law enact
ed for this or that evil, but it seems
that all these laws are to reform evil,
not to abolish it. We don't need
federal child labor law. We have
universal love. That law is parent
love. No mother will send her chill
dren to work unless she has to choose
between sending them to work or see
ing them starve at home.
Child labor is mostly spread where
the fathers are getting the lowest
kind of wages, and that speaks for
itself. There are degenerate parents.
This is true, but they should be cured
with education, not punished with
fines.
Some reformers want a minimum
wage law for women to cure vice, but
when the fathers will get enough to
support their families they viii not
send their children to work. And if
all young men will get enough to
support families there viii be more
happy marriages than old maids. And
Barratt O'Hara's honeymoon express
will not be needed. Henry Ford's en-
ployes have proven this.
If you reformers are sincere in your

work, then why don't you unite. to en-
act a law, to give back to men their
natural right-which some crooked
men of power have taken away from
them-and that is, the right to work
and the right to get the full product
of their labor? This law would hit
evil at the root, this law would abol-
ish the real cause of all evil, and
the only reason that can see why
you don't unite is, some of you are
blind and some wish to be blind.

he wrote an "Isch ga bibble" song and
it went all over the country, and every
body shrugged their shoulders and said
''Isch ga bibble." and it got back to
Germany that way. and now that DIR.

ALL WITH BULLS PLEASE WRITE
Greek Pageant Committee Is on
Trail of Three for Drama.

Three ferocious-looking bulls are re-
quired for the Greek Pageant-Drama,
The Fire Regained." to be produced in
this city in May in the interest of charity,
and Manager Leon Mooser yesterday was
commissioned to make a trip into Nir-
ginia in quest of said bulls.
Director General Preston Gibson has
notified the manager of his Virginia farm
to be on the lookout for the needed ami
mails and Mr.. Mooser will look them over
Sunday.
The ordeal by bulls is one of the
most thrilling periods of the drama.
Pallas Athene is strapped to the back of
one of the bulls and this and the two
other animals are held in leash by a
hand of Numidian slaves. 1t is needless
to add that a thrilling feat of realism
is achieved without any harm coming to
the principal character.
Models of the garments to he worn
in the pageant-drama were received in
Washington yesterday and bids have
been invited for the 1.Jo0 garments to be
employed in the production.

PACK OF FALSEHOODS,'
DECLARES SBLUMENTHAL
Answering Charges. He Says He Ex-
amined Miss Bauer in Presence
of Two Teachers.
INQUIRY BY SUPT. THURSTON

Advocating and explaining the value OF
vocational training. Prof. G. A. Blumen-
thai director of the vocational training
bureau, yesterday took occasion TO stamp
the charges OF Franz Rom. made Tues
day night before the United German So
cieties, is unfounded.
Prof Blumenthal examined Miss Bauer
he says. He also states that at least
300 young girls have been examined by
him, that he never examines a girl unless
in the presence OF at least two teachers,
and that his treatment OF the young
girl was the same as given to hundreds
of others.
The vocational educational bureau is
not part of the board of education,
the services of the members of the board
being gratuitous.
Prof. Blumenthal's work is to ascer-
tain by questions and study what voca-
tional work a child is best fitted for. and
to see that once the child begins the work
progress is made. He has made a ma
tional reputation for himself in his line
of work.
Today a committee, consisting of
Franz Rom. Col Martin wiegand, and
Karl Hammel for the United German
Societies. will interview Miss Bauer IN
order to get her version. They also
will see the two teachers whom Prof
Blumenthal claims were present at
the time he took up Miss Bsuer's case.
Superintendent of Schools Ernest l.
Thurston, when asked about the
charges made by Rom against Prof.
admitted that Mr.. Rom
had complained to him and he had
looked into the case. but declined to
say what his findings were.
This is a pack OF falsehoods.' said

PLEA FOR ARMY
AT HORSE SHOWS
Bill Prohibiting Soldiers from
Participating Is Called
"Undemocratic."
MEMORIAL Is SENT OUT
Capital Association Tells Members of
Congress Measure Is Blow at
Military Efficiency.

In the hope that they will defeat the
measure prohibiting the participation of
army officers and soldiers in civilian
horse shows, the National Capital Horse
Show Association. through its secretary,
A. d. Addison, yesterday informed men,
bers OF Congress that "the proposition
to deny government support is funda-
mentally undemocratic" and would be "a
blow at the efficiency and right condi-
ton of the military establishment"
A memorial drawn up by the associa-
tion. copies of which were sent to all
members of Congress and which is of
particular interest to horsemen through
out the country, reads in part as follows:
TT is understood that efforts have been
made on the floor of the House of Rep
resentatives to stop the use of any army
appropriation in paying the expenses of
officers and soldiers of the army in at
tendance upon horse shows. This atti-
tude seems fair and just specifically.
but when analyzed. discloses a PROPOSE
tion which. If carried into effect, will
work lasting injury to farmers and
breeders and to the mounted service OF
the army.
Necess1ty OF competition.
Competition is an unfailing stimulus
to efficiency. While having only itself
as a standard of comparison. the army
was perfectly satisfied both with its
horsemanship and its horses But when
the plan of participation in civilian horse
shows was initiated it was demonstrated
that both horses and horsemanship in
the army were far inferior TO what they
ought to be.
The proposition to deny government
support for participation of members of
the army in these shows is fundamental
ly undemocratic. The moderate expendi-
ture for this purpose in the past has been
open to all qualified officers. II this
support is withdrawn, only those officers
of large private means can take part, to
the exclusion of officers dependent for
their support entirely upon their pay.
Every desirable opportunity for profess
sional improvement should be open to the
officers and men of the army irrespec-
tive of the condition of their private for
