Basket Ball.

NORWAY IND. 90; PORTLAND IND. 26.
The game of basket ball at the Opera
House Friday evening was fitting close
to successful season. Norway indie
pendents were none other than the
straight high school team, Shepard and
Smith having both recovered from their
injuries sufficiently to allow them to
play, and by winning this game Norway
High has now defeated the only team
that had an undisputed victory over
them.
As was promised, Portland brought q
strong team aud one that played hard up
to the whistle that ended the game, but
they could not quite overtake the home
team, although at one time in the second
half there was only one point difference
in the score of the two teams.
An unusually large number Of baskets
were shot from long distances, the close
guarding of both teams making it neces-
sary to try for the long shots. In this
line Sanderson, Smith, Leslie and john
son made some exceptionally fine shots,
and missed several baskets by the mar
rowest margins. Klain, playing as a
guard, had the distinction of shooting
the first basket of the game.
The first half ended with the score IS
to II in favor of Norway, Portland
throwing one basket just as the whistle
sounded to end the half, which was not
allowed by Referee Farnum,' although
the Portland boys claimed they were en-.
titled to the two points. The last half
saw some very fast playing, and Port
land outscored Norway IA to II in the
half, but this gain of three points was
not sufficient to wipe out Norway's lead.
The game was well played by both
teams, was fast, clean and interesting,
and if the Portland boys come here again
next season, they will receive a cordial
welcome because of the kind of basket
ball they have played here this year.
The lineup:

Saturday Was Blue Bundle Day.

A number of people were seen on the
street Saturday who were not carrying
blue bundle or an armful OF blue
bundles, but they were the exception
and not the rule. At their two stores in
Maxim Block and the new Maxim Block
the r. h. Noyes Co. opened their sale of
clothing and furnishings resulting from
the recent fire. The sale included all
the stock that was in the South Paris
Blue Store at the time of the fire. 1t had
been we'll advertised, and while 1t did
not produce crush to endanger life or
limb, it did draw good number Of
buyers. A large force OF clerks at both
stores attended to customers, and dur
ing the rush they were kept very busy.
The sale still continues, and uotwith-
standing the volume of business done
Saturday, there are still a lot of bargains
to be had, under the conditions stated
by the firm in their advertising.

Valuable Mars.

The Democrat would again call stten-
ton to the usefulness and convenience
OF the topographic maps issued by the
United States Geological Survey. This
IL In no sense an advertisement. These
maps are not issued for the benefit OF
any private interest. The surveys are
made at public expense for the public
benefit, the national government paying
half the cost and the state half. A
charge 10 made for the maps, but 1t IL
only what is sufficient to pay the cost OF
the paper and presswork.
These maps are In three colors, or
some of them In four colors. The to-
biography Ia represented In brown, by
twenty foot contour lines, and from
these Il is possible to tell at glance the
condition OF section as to hills and
plains. Water ID printed In blue, and
woods, II they are shown, in green. All
artificial structures, buildings, roads,
dams, etc., and town, county and other
lines, are In black.
Fifteen minutes OF latitude and fifteen
minutes OF longitude are included In
each quadrangle, and the scale is ap;
proximately an inch to the mile, making
the maps In this vicinity about
- IL Z II 1-2 inches.
Southwestern Maine has now been Gov
cred by this survey, and the sheets have
been issued, as far north az A degrees
80 minutes north latitude.
That doesn't convey q very definite
impression to your mind? Very likely.
Well, that imaginary line cuts across
Oxford County just north OF Hanover
village and East Peru, and just south OF
Rumford Falls and Dixf1eld villages. All
of Oxford County south Of that line is
within the surveyed and mapped area.
The sheets of the most northerly quad
rangles have been issued within the past
year or two.
As these quadrangles are determined
by the lines of latitude and longitude,
without reference to political divisions,
sometimes the locations are little awk.
ward. For instance, the town Of Paris
is divided into four parts on four sepa-
rate sheets, South Paris village lying in
the northeast corner of quadrangle.
Still IL is possible, with little work and
. little paste, to piece together map In
which Paris shall be complete and In the
center, or to make other combinations
of two or more sheets If desired. !.
The sheets are sold by the Geological
Survey at Washington, or at certain
stores in the cities, at ten cents each, or
fifty may be purchased at one time for
three dollars, or six cents each. -.
This survey once made is made for all
time, as far as the topography OF the
country is concerned. Rivers may
change their course, and lakes be Gre
ated by the building of dams so as to
change the map, and roads and build
ings and other works of man may disap.
pear or come into being, but the general
contour of the land remains the same.
While these maps are not accurate 10
detail to the extent of showing every
little knoll, they show all the general
features of the country. Any one who
becomes accustomed to their use would
never think of being without supply OF
them covering the territory In which he
ia particuiarly interested.

Easter In the Churches.

A fall of some two inches OF snow
Saturday night made conditions for
Easter Sunday not all that was desirable,
still the weather was fair on Sunday,
aud there was nothing to prevent peo-
pie getting out. There were large con,
gregations at all the churches aud at all
services. There was special music, and
appropriate floral decorations for the
morning services, with sermons on the
Easter theme.
Easter concerts were given by the
Congregational and Baptist Sunday
Schools in the evening, and both were
largely attended aud very interesting.
At the Universalist church the regular
quarterly communion service was held a.
8 O'Clock, at which time nineteen, in
GLIDING adults aud younger people, were
given the band of fellowship and re
ceived into the church by the pastor
Rev. c. G. Miller.

Road Material Tested.

A visit any time during the week to
the road materials testing laboratory a.
the University of Maine, would find
some one busily engaged In conduct
ing road tests. The laboratory 10 daily
in operation from $50 A. NJ. until 800
PM. The chief work at the present
time il the investigation carried on 6y
the civil engineering faculty for the
State Highway Commission, namely the
testing and study of gravels of Maine.
There have been received about seventy.
five samples of gravel which were nsed
in actual road construction by the COM
mission during the season of 1914.
At present all regular tests are made,
from the results of which the University
authorities hope to discover something
of value in highway engineering theory
and practice. The State Highway Com.
mission is making a record of the condi-
ton of the roads built with this gravel
in the hope that some reliable deduc'
lions can be drawn from preliminary
laboratory work. The Commission hopes
that after time such tests can be made
at the University as will enable them to
De 1nt0rmeQ In duVauCo EokaiuinS ene
suitability of any material for road pur-
poses.
In addition to testing gravel, tests are
also made on all other road materials
submitted by the Commission. In the
course of time, a road materials survey
of the state will result, and a map OBJ
tanned which will show at least the loca,
ton, il not also the quantity and quality
of road materials in every town OF the
state. Such data will be OF great value
10 the public.
An investigation Of the various makes
of corrugated metal culverts found on
the market is also being made. This
study involves the determination OF ef-
fective diameter, class of product, gauge
of metal, purity Of metal, strength, ETC.
During the present semester all Senior
Civils are taking a course in the labora'
tory and each student will be required to
make all the regular tests on rock, gray
ell, and bituminous materials used IN
road construction.
a thesis party is also engaged In the
laboratory, studying primarily the graV
els, their characteristics, and the ques.
ton of suitable binders for use in gravel
road construction,
