In place of the regular Tuesday night
Y. NJ C. A. meeting union meeting OF
both divisions of the college will be held
tonight in the chapel at 7.sO, when DR..
George Otis Smith '93 will address the
societies. Dr. Smith is head of the Ma
tional Geological survey and one of the
trustees of Colby, a man whose message
cannot help being valuable to college
men.
Colby men wherever found are sure to
be good ones, is the firm belief of all
staunch believers In the college. At least
one ex-Colby man nobly lived up to this
fame last Saturday when "Smacker'
Lowney. exits. wrought such havoc on
the gridiron for Boston college. Three
times the former Colby star carried the
ball over worcester Techs goal line, once
on a 90-yard ruin from the Kickoff. This
calls to mind like feat performed in the
1914 championship series against Bates.
A Boston paper says 1.-The individual
work of Lowney was one of the greatest
exhibitions of broken field running ana
line plunging that has been shown this
season.

NEW MOGUL TYPE
ENGINES COMING

The new engines of the 600 class
which have been ordered by the Maine
Central are expected to arrive almost
any time now. There are six of them
and they will be put to work hauling
freights between Portland and Bangor.
This class of engine in the opinion Of
the railroad men here are the best for
the work as they have a capacity Of rs
cars and are easy to handle and to keep
steamed up. At present the limit of
their load is IS cars because of the fact
that many of the sidings will not ac-
commodate more than that number. but
new sidings are constantly being built
and old ones heightened out 80 that the
railroad men expect that trains of IS
cars will be the rule next summer.
Along with these new engines for road
work will come four OF the latest type
of switching engines. one of which it
is understood will be for the Water
Vile yard and the others will be found
in Portland. Brunswick and Bangor. 1t
Is also said among the men who should
know here that at least four new pas
senger engines of new type will be
seen on the road next summer to han
die the fast trains.

DRUG
STORES TO HAVE
INVESTIGATION

Portland. Me-, Nov. 19.-That the
sweeping investigation conducted by
Federal inspectors into the drug con-
ditions in Portland. following the recent
opium raids upon places alleged to have
been maintained by local Cinnamon.
have connected one or more well known
physicians and at least one drug store
as the source through which the users
of the drug have obtained their supply
is the persistent rumor about the city
and the rumor is borne out to a GER
tain extent by the trend of the inves.
legations conducted here during the
greater part of the past week.
Inspectors Scanlon. Mackay, Donovan
and Marsh have been in Portland for
several days working on the case and
during that time these inspectors have
visited practically all of the smaller
drug stores in Portland for the purpose
of looking over the narcotic records
kept in conformance with the Federal
law. paying, 1t is said. especial atten-
ton to the sale of opium. In most
cases Inspectors Scalon and Mackay
io'C lidScfeu together anu tne1r tra1l
of investigation through the city has
been followed closely by Inspectors
Donovan and Marsh
Confession Runored
1t is said that the Cinnamon held at
the county jail pending hearings in con-
nection with the recent drug raids have
been questioned by the inspectors re-
garding the source of their supply of
the drug and that the confession of one
of the prisoners has served to implicate
well known physician and an equally
we'll known drug firm as the sources of
supply in at least one case Whether
there is sufficient evidence to warrant
an arrest for the violation of the drug
law could not be determined last night,
as none of the officials in charge Of the
investigation would discuss the matter.
but the continued presence here of In
spectors Donovan and Marsh, both of
whom are registered at the Falmouth
Hotel, gives rise to the belief that the
inquiry has not yet been completed and
that developments may be expected at
any time.
