BRITISH CELEBRATE
 ACCESSION DAY"

LONDON, May 11.-Artillery sa- lutes were fired in St. James Park, London, at Windsor and all the big naval stations today, in honor of the fourth anniversary of King Georges accession to the throne. Flags were flown on all government buildings, and British warships ill all parts of the world dressed ship" but these were the only official celebrations The king and queen, with other mem bers of the royal family, placed wreaths on the grave of the late King Edward at Windsor, and attended a private memorial service at St. Georges chapel. King George cele- brates his 49th birthday on June 3, having been born in 1865. He suc- ceeded his father May II, 1910, and was crowned June 22, 1911. In 1S9 3 he married Princess Mary of Teck, who had been engaged to his elder brother, the late Duke of Clarence (died 1892), and by whom he has five sons and one daughter.

 1 Representative Lewis has introduced l in the house bill providing for the
 taking over of the wires by Uncle Sam.
 In introducing the bill Mir. Lewis said
 in part:~.
 Investigation discloses that our tele- l graphic rates are the highest among twen- ! ty countries, running from 3 cents to q, l while in other countries they average ] about 12 cents, or a cent 8 word The re- l suit Is that we rank ninth as telegraph 1 users. with one and one-tenth telegrams | a person to our credit per annum. while 1 in New Zealand. with the twelve cent rate | and our price and wage levels. the use of the telegraph reaches as high as eight ! telegrains a person.
 l The telegraph service Is a relatively de-
 clining institution. and 1t would be un.
 wise to postalize it alone as a single serv- ice. For ten years in England the num- Der of telegrams has been actually sta tionary.
 Our toll and long distance telephone rates compare with those of other coun- tries even less favorably than do our tele- graph rates. The average interurban re- ceipt in Germany is but cents; hero 1t averages 70 cents. The long distance rates here are made on a scale of mills a
 mile for a three minute conversation as against an average charge of about mills a mile received by the railways for trans porting a ton of freight We are one of three countries where the charge of a local call exceeds the letter postage rate.
 The subscribers rates in American cities, compared with continental cities. are about three times as high: for ex- ample, New York. where 5.400 calls. about fifteen a day. under measured service tariff cost more than the four unlimited yearly rates of London. Paris Berlin and Stockholm together.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
 IS CALLED OUT

A fire alarm was sent in early yes terday morning from the residence of Mrs. Tjosvig on Nizina avenue, when the shingles on the roof of her residence caught fire. The chem ical cart was started on the run for the scene of the fire by few early risers, but it was not needed as a bucket of water soon extinguished the flames. Tony Wendler came rushing to the fire puffing like steam en- zine, carrying fire extinguisher in one hand and barrel of beer in the other. Tony said the extinguisher was to put out the fire and the beer was for use of the firemen--if need ed. Tony packed the empty extin- guisher back, also an empty keg.
 Engineer Graham, as usual, soon had steam up in the big engine and was ready for business.

Representative Lewis Argues
 For His New BiII.
MANY SUPPORT THE PLAN.

Terms of Contracts With Government
 Would Make Purchase a Simple Mat
 ter and Companies Could Easily Be
 Forced to SeII-Success of Parcel
 Post Considered Factor.
 shington.-Advocacy of govern ment ownership of all telegraph and telephone lines; the introduction of a bill providing for such purchases by Uncle Sam; the action of the Bell Tel ephone system and Western Union Tel egraph companies in voluntarily dis solving what the attorney general of the United States termed trust, and the tremendous success of the parcel post system during the first year of its history have directed more atten- tion toward the purchase of the wires than anything else in the history of the country.
 The measure has both supporters and opponents. President Wilson's decla- ration that he has never said one way or the other whether he favored the bill or not was interesting. For years the question has been agitated off and on. here and there, but no concrete &C., ton has ever before been taken.
 The purchase of the wires by the government would be simple matter, provided, of course, the many millions necessary fo hllv fha stock cOu1d he obtained. There is an old provision in the original franchises granted by the government that if the congress wishes at any time to buy the compa- nies the directors will be forced to sell. These are the terms of the contracts with the government under which the companies are now operating. The price to be paid shall be determined by board consisting of three men.

Have you seen the comet? Delevan' S
comet is now visible in the north
western heavens in the early evening
1t has been reported several times in
the last few weeks and has very late
ly become visible to the naked eye
II. K. Schulmaier, Berwick astron-

ing the comet, which are published
herewith as follows:
This comet that has lately been re-
ported as being visible to the unaid-
ed eye. between midnight and sunrise
may now be seen evenings between I
and $50 o'clock for a short time.
1t can be easily found in the follow
ing manner: Look for the Big Dip

and four in the bowl, Now pick the
one in the middle star in the handle
and call this "A Next pick out the

inc a line drawn from the star "A

BATES OPENS IT'S
COLLEGE YEAR
THURSDAY A. M.
Address of President Greeting
Incoming Class-Start
Of Real Work

Lewiston, Me, Sept 24.-There was
large attendance of students at the
opening chapel of the college year at
Bates Thursday morning President
Chase presided and after Offering a
brief prayer and singing the college
hymn, the president greeted the in
coming class. He told of the struggles
or the college up to the present to have
Bates a different college from that of
any other institution in the country.
President Chase spoke in part as fol-
lows:
Students of the incoming class at
Bates, you have had the opportunity
To choose your college and you have
chosen Bates. May you never disgrace
her name. From the founding of the
college UP to the present time we
have tried to have Bates be a Chris
ti9n college. We have never fostered
secret societies, we have no use for
them here. To be sure other institu
tions have them and / do not wish to
criticize them. They evidently find a
use for them.
Bates has in it's naturalization
pledge d regulation forbidding the use
OF intoxicating liquor while an under
graduate at this institution. ] am very
glad to say that this rule has been
lived up to by a very great part of
the students. 1t is necessary that you
new students obey this rule.
Bates has another regulation in its
matrieulatioa pledge, that of using to-
bacco by students who are being aid
ed by the college. This is a regu-
lation put upon our books at the ex-
press order of dear friends, who have
given money to the students support
fund. To many of you, this will seem
a foolish regulation, but on second
thought you will not think so. II
You go out for any athletic team in
the college our coach will tell you
TO abstain from the use of tobacco.
Scientists have proven that tobacco
is not good for the human system. |
was talking with the recruiting Off
Ger of the United States Army a short
time ago and in the course of the con-
Nersation asked if he was having any
difficulty in getting men. l was told
that there was no difficulty in proeur-
in men but that only one man in ten
passed the physical examination ow-
ing to tobacco heart
The last thing that | wish to call
your attention to is that of hazing.
We will not stand for that thing here
at Bates. There is nothing more de-
grading to my mind than making a
fellow student, weaker than yourself
receive punishment"
After the closing of the chapel ex-
ercises. the students repaired to their
respective rooms by classes to receive
their assignments.

SAYS SULPHUR
DRIVES ECZEMA
FROM the Skin

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol-
ogist, just common bold sulphur made
into a thick cream will soothe and
heal the skin when irritated and brok-
en- out with Eczema or any form of
eruption. The moment it is applied all
itching ceases and after two or three
applications the Eczema disappears.
leaving the skin clear and smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce of
bold sulphur cream and apply it to the
irritated parts the same as you would
any cold cream.
Fer many years common bold sui
phur has occupied a secure position
in the practice of dermatology and
cutapeous affections by reason of its
misunderstanding property. 1t is
not only parasiticidal, but also anti
pruritic, antiseptic and remarkably
healing in all irritable and infiamma-
tory conditions of the skin. While not
always effecting a permanent cure it
never fails to instantly subdue the an
CRY itching and irritation and heal the
Eczema right up and il is often years
later before any eruption again APP
