PROSPEROUS YEAR
BATH SH|PYARDS,
PROSPECTS GOOD

Nine vessels of various types, ex-
elusive of the government craft, have
been built by the Bath Iron Works.
launched in the Bath district during
the past IL months and documented
at the Bath customs house. Their
combined gross tonnage amounts to
1909. While the records show three
more vessels launched during the cali
endar year than in 1915, the differ
ence in gross tonnage is less than
1000 or to be exact 901 tons. 1t is
the largest amount however since
1909 when IL vessels with a total
gross tonnage Of 10,438 were sent into
the water.
The wooden shipbuilding yards of
Bath alone have work enough on
hand to keep them busy for some
time. five vessels now on the stocks
exceeding by more than one-half the
total amount of tonnage launched
this year. This does not take into
consideration other types of vessels
building outside Of Bath although
within the local customs district nor
plants.
The Kelley, Spear Co. is building
two 3000-ton barges and the G. G.
Deering Co. have work we'll under way
on a four-masted schooner Of about
1900 tons. Percy & Small have on the
stocks, practically completed, four
masted schooner named Sam G. Men
gel. Launching Of this craft has been
postponed owing to a delay in receiv-
ing the engines for her twin screws,
the Mengel being the first sailing ves-
sci in the world so it is declared to be
equipped with twin screws. She is to
engage in the foreign trade, principal
ly to African ports, and owing to the
danger of long voyages by reason of
Gains the power is to be added. Percy
& Small are also timbering out five
masted schooner.
At the Bath Iron Works work is
being hurried along on a luxurious
pleasure yacht for John N. WHY'S
and on a big steel car float, while the
contracts have just been closed for
building four torpedo boat destroyers.
The destroyer Allen launched last
week is being made for he r official
tests during the week of Dec. 10.
At the big, new plant of the Texas
Steamship Co. work, is advancing
rapidly on two big steel steamships of
about AIS feet length and of about
5000 tons displacement. This company
is also to build several more big
steamships and two steel tugs. The
two craft on the ways will be launched
some time in May.
There are to be no more vessels
launched in the district this year. The
documented list of those sent over
board is as follows:

are new,
Or there's never a road to see !;
For ever and ever the long years
through
The wilderness calls to me!
I play my part in the business
scheme
Of barter and trade and sale,
But deep in my secret soul |
dream
Of the joy of the open trail.
I think of the pungent camp fire

On the breath of the winds
that blow,
And I want to be off to the edge

that over $4,000 a month is paid
for that alone. In this connec-
ton a peculiar condition exists.
If man be fined $40 and is un-
able to pay that amount, he is
committed to the workhouse.
Should friends go to the assist
ance and pay the fine after
spending forty days behind the
bars the city gets the fine and
the county pays $40 board for the
men at the workhouse. The night
the man went in and the morn
ing he came out count two days.
The Ferris Industrial School
gets $1,000 a month, the court
expenses must be paid, interest
on bonds has to be met. During
the past month thousands of
dollars were collected daily at
the county Court House for the
State. Three and sometimes
five persons in the office Of the
clerk of the peace were employ
ed taking the tax and the money
goes to the State. The State
does not pay the salary of any of
the clerks. Every week day in
the year this office is open and
licenses are issued and the mon
ey goes to the State.
The coroner's fees must be
paid, the Trustees of the Poor
demand their appropriation, the
elections expenses must be paid
and so on down the line. The
salaries are regulated by the LIE
gislature and there are only &
few items over which the Levy
Court has control. They amount
to about $4,000.

Lack of space forbids lengthy
discussion, therefore the features
of improvement will alone be
specified.
First. The assessment list OF
children who are affected by the
law should be made by the teach
err, just before school opens. The
teacher should visit each home,
enroll or assess the children, and
be paid at the rate of her school
salary.
Second. All children between
the ages of seven and twelve Cor
eleven or tenn should be requir-
ed to attend all the time, when
illness or other equally good rea-
son does not prevent.
Third. children between
twelve Cor eleven or ten) years of
age and sixteen years of age
should attend at least five months
of the term except that children
over fourteen years of age who
have completed the eighth Cor
seventh or SIXTH grade may be
excused to go to some regular
employment.
Fourth. To secure attendance
by those who will not voluntarily
attend, an Attendance Officer or
Officers should be appointed. The
Clerk of the School Committee
and the County Superintendent
should not be expected to act as
attendance Officer. One good of.
ficer for county, giving his en-.
tire time to it, would secure re-
suits.
Fifth. The penalty for viola,
ton of the law by parent should
be larger than the cost of hiring
common laborer, for each day
the child is absent illegally.
Sixth. Provision must be made
for reasonable excuses, with {
careful statement of what a rea
sOnable excuse shall be.
The fact that many parents ant
children think they have dom
their duty when they have been il
attendance during the compulsory
period, is a full proof that tn,
standard of attendance of parent
is what the law requires. There
: fore, the law should require
enough attendance to get eacl
child up to or beyond the sixth
, grade by the age of fourteen. A
present less than seven out o
ten children in our rural school
accomplish that much. Surely tn
men and women who are to he'll
solve Americas difficult an,
I complex problems by discussion
and by voting, need at least
Sixth Grade education. Many o
our voters never had that mucl
education. Shall we not striv
$ henceforth to secure it for them

Minimum Attendance Law

The present Compulsory At
tendance Law is an admitted fail
use in several respects. To
strengthen these weak points is a
pl essing need. The laxity of en-
forcement and the imperfections
of the law educate parents and
children to indifference or to a
low standard of attendance.

RAILROAD TO BE JUNKED.

Marietta, O., Oct. 9.-The number Of operating railroads n rhe Unitei States will be reduced by one tomor- r0w, when the last passenger trains will be run over the lines of the Mar iett, Columbus and Cleveland road. The road is 45 miles long. connecting Marietta with the New York Central lines at Palos Junction. It serves a rich, farming district and extensive coal fields. It has lost money con tinuously, however, and at the re- ceiver's sale two months ago the en- tire property was bought in by Hen- " M. Isham of New York, who has been president of the company for 16 years. MT. Isham recently decided to abandon the road and Sell all it's equipment as junk. Freight service was discontinued week ago and passenger service will te stopped to- morrow.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

What critics everywhere are pro- claiming is the best motion picture novel yet offered the public is coming to the Orpheo theatre today. Its title is M Gloria's Romance" and the star of this much heralded attraction is none other than Billie Burke, famous star of "Jerry" and half dozen fla nous productions of the speaking stage, The story of the new film
 novel is from the pen of Mir. and Mrs.
 Rupert Hughes, and is said to be ab- solutely logical throughout and of real literary merit, not at all like the slap dash, blood d-and-thunder, films that have sometimes been shown in the aters of a lower class.
 Manager Klarberg of the Orpheo theater is ready to, personally guaran- tee the quality of "Gloria's Romance" for he has seen the early chatpers of
 the story and was amazed to find how
 much above the ordinary run of films lit is.> All the pretty little manner l isms of Miss Burke that made her so attractive on the speaking stage are retained by the camera.

Washing Won't Rid
 =, Head Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand- ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To, do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp. and rub 1t in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
