FOR CLEAN MILK.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: Massa-
chusetts milk inspector was among US lately
and gave some very emphatic orders to some
of the farmers in regard to the care of their
cows barns and milk. In fact, he shut out
sever Il from sending their milk to the cream
cries, and told them they could not make but
ter from their milk and sell it until they had
put their barns in condition to keep their cows
in comfortable, sanitary condition. .Everyonewho
had manure shed attached to the barn was
cut out, and their milk refused. 1t is claimed
that he made very different requirements in
some cases where conditions were very similar.
1t is reported that one of our farmers report
ed his case to the Maine Commissioner of Ag-
ricuiture and he sent State inspector here,
who told the farmer that the conditions were
good and he could send his milk to the cream
cry, and if any objection was made to notify
him Most of our dairymen keep their cows
in good sanitary conditions, but there is no
doubt that some barns are not fit to keep cows
or anything else in, and it is this class
that need to be rounded up" and it is a
good thing that they have got an OBJ
ject lesson that We trust will be effective.
There is no doubt that hundreds of infants
and SIN all children die in Boston and other
cities every year from the use of unclean
milk, and every farmer who furnishes such
milk is guilty of the death of those innocents.
Massachusetts officials are making commend
able efforts to cut down this unnecessary death
rate, and it has been very largely reduced
since they began the work, and we trust the
good work will go on until this slaughter of
the innocents'' shall cease entirely. Let US
hope that no Maine da.ryman will SO conduct
his business that the suspicion of man
slaughter can be traced to his negligence.

DEMANDS BANGOR BE DRY.
Mayor Utterback Insists That After Nov.
Prohibitory Law Be Enforced.


BANGOR, Me-, Oct. 25. Mayor j. G. Utter
back sprang big surprise today when he as
sembled practically every officer and patrol
man of the Police Department at City Hall
and announced that on and after Nov. 1st he
should demand the absolute enforcement of
the Prohibitory law in Bangor and should hold
the Police Department strictly responsible.
This rule would apply to every place where
liquor was sold, from the most elaborate bars
to the kitchen dives. The Mayor said that con-
ditions in Bangor had gone beyond all sense of
decency-that new saloons were being fire.
quently opened, that some were kept open all
night and Sunday and sold to boys and drunken
men-any one who had the money.
He declared that Bangor had come to be a
convention city, and that people from all over
the country got bad impression of the gen.
eral defiance of the law, with open saloons and
drunken men on the principal streets.
He called attention to the fact that there
had been 27OO arrests in Bangor for intoxication
in less than 10 months. against 21O0 in all Of
1918. He read statistics showing that there
wece more arrests for intoxication in Bangor,
with little over $4,000 persons, than in many
cities of over 100000 persons. He concluded
by saying that any member of the force who
was not willing to follow this order was re-
quested to tender his resignation.

THE CARMAN CASE.
The Jury Disagree And Mrs. Carman vii
Not Be Brought To Trial Again.

L
Not be Brought To Trial Again.
MINEoLA, N. Y. Oct. Is. Twelve men. sit
ting as jury, came into the Supreme court
room here at 10. So this morning and announced
that they had been unable to determine wheth-
er Mrs Florence Conklin Carman. wife of DR..
Edwin Carman of Freeport. on the night of
June 80 last thrust revolver through shat
tered window pane in the physicians Office and
shot and killed Mrs Louise Bailey, patient
who was standing there. The jury deliberated
more than 13 hours.
On the final ballot, ten jurors favored acquit-
ting the defendant and two held out for finding
her guilty of murder in the first degree as
charged in the Indictment
AS far as the State is concerned it is unlikely
that Mrs. Carman ever will be brought to trial
again. Before the jury came in, District Attor-
ney Lewis J. Smith said that if it stood even
to 4 for acquittal. it was Improbable that he
would bring the defendant to the bar again.
Attorneys for Mrs. Carman will make an ap-
plication tomorrow morning to have her admit
ted to bail Such motion will not be opposed
by the district attorney.
The defendant is on the verge of a complete
physical breakdown, following collapse in the
court room after the jury was discharged 1t
was said at the Nassau county Jail mere tonight
that Mrs. Carman had been crying constantly
ever since she was brought back to her cell.

COMMUNITY EFFICIENCY CONFER.
ENCE.

AUGUSTA, Maine, Oct % .'Man Efficency.''
as explained by Charles R. Towson Of New
York, industrial welfare expert and the man
for and gratefully accepted by the heads Of
such great industrial enterprises % the Amer
lean Car and Foundry Co. the Wayerhaeuser
Lumber Co., the Monaghan Mills. the Westing-
house Air Brake Co. and the United States
Steel Corporation, is coming to Augusta to be
present Nov. 49, Is at the State Community
Efficiency Conference.
The test Of every industry is its output. and
other things being equal it stands or falls by
that token. factory or other industrial plant
may have efficient machinery, but it must have
inteligent-headed, aliye-to-the opportunity
business men, and it is to answer this same
question, and others like it for the leaders OF
is coming to Maine.
Mr. Towson's methods go deeper than the
correction of errors to waste that is merely
mechanical. He calls his workers "engineers
of environment and his philosophy "a new
evangelism in the industrial world, teaching
the "humanics" of industry.
1t is well known that the Improvement in
methods concerning the welfare of the indus
trial worker has not kept pace with the i'm
provement of machinery. Accidents and dis
ease in the industries have claimed much at
tention but not to an extent to be compared
with the attention given to the production Of
improved machinery. Strain and monotony,
from both of which workers in modern indus
tries suffer, produce effects which demand
more careful consideration than they receive,
and there are those who say that new device
for preventing accidents to workers will not
find as ready market as device for increas-
ing output or saving labor.
But the trained business man is beginning
to see the light. Machine efficiency having
been secured, it is "man efficiency" that is
now sought, and Charles R. Towson is the
man efficiency man.
Mr.. Towson will be brought to the Confer
ence for the express purpose of explaining
his methods to large employers of labor in
this State, many of whom are planning to at
tend this Conference. With the many highly
diversified industries which Maine possesses
his coming means much to the growth and
development of the State and to its industrial
welfare in the future.
There are many other speakers of National
reputation, who will be present, of which
further announcement will be made. The
general Executive Committee of the Confer
ence consists of Hon. Carl E. Milliken of Is
land Falls, Dean Leon L Merrill of the Col
lege of Agriculture, University of Maine;
Hon. S. Stetson of Greene, Master of the
State Grange, Rev. Henry E. Dunnack of Au-
gusta; Horace C, Day of Auburn; Orlando E.
Frost of Belfast and A. A. Heald of Water
vile. Mr.. Milliken is the Chairman and Mr..

Twice as Many Go Abroad as Last Year.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Oct. 25. There can be little
