PARTY HAS CLOSE
CALL ON WATER ST.
Sunday Afternoon When Car
Skids on the Oily
Pavement

Howard Chase and party of Lisbon
Falls, while passing through Augusta
at 245 Sunday afternoon on their way
home from Skowhegan, had a narrow
escape on Water street in front of the
Maine Central passenger station be-
cause of their Ford car skidding on
the pavement, which had just been
oiled that morning. In the car with
Mr. Chase were six people, two of
them children, and as the car reached
a point in front of the Purinton build
ing, moving at a rapid rate, the rear
wheels akidded and went on to the
sidewalk in front of the Ladd printing
Office.
From there the car took another
shoot, still skidding, and went against
the curbing on the west side of the
street, barely missing the standard
light pole in front of the railroad sta
ton, the force of the impact smashing
the rear wheel on the near side Of the
car and landing the car on the side
walk. Luckily no one was thrown from
the car or injured. The car was fur
Their damaged when another car was
sent to tow 1t to a garage by the en-
CINE of the damaged car starting,
which caused ii to run into the rescue
car, breaking the radiator of the
Ford car and smashing one of the
lights. The damaged car was taken to
the Skehan garage and repaired in sea-
son for Mr.. Chase to start with it at
o'clock fer home.

Miss Melvena V Parker, who ar

the Belfast High school. Miss Parked

other thrilling experiences she past

find most interesting and she has re-
ceived a warm welcome home. For sew
eral weeks she has been in London
and Liverpool. In England she was
able to pass the time sightseeing, Tor
there is but little excitement there,

two rows at the rear, and the platform
and pulpit have been extended six feet
into the nave, thus bringing the pulpit
much nearer to the pews than before
the advantage of which arrangement can
easily be realized. The general effect is
one of decided beauty.
A feature which has added much to the
attractfveness of the interior is the re-
decoration of the walls and the pillars,
which. have been painted soft brown
stone tint to harmonic with the ceiling,
with a. five-foot dado of a darker shade.
Another feature which adds a great deal
to the general beauty of the scene is a
new moss gree Wilton carpet which COW
ers the entire floor. The pew cushions
have been covered with brown wool dam
ask and a finishing touch has been added
by the installation of concealed lights in
the arch behind the pulpit. New ceiling
lights have been installed in the vesti-
bule, which has also been redecorated to
harmonic with the decorations in the
body of the church.. Further improve
ments have been made by whichsfour of
the clear-story windows can be- opened
