Mrs Grace A. Wing of Auburn. 4
member of the State Board of Char
tiles, accompanied by DR.. Gertrude A.
Hall, the newly appointed chairman of
the Board of Mothers Aid. were in
Skowhegan Wednesday to visit the
Womans Reformatory and the Show
hogan aims house.
AS the result of strike among the
spinners of the American Wooden Co.
the various departments and plants Of
the company here closed indefi-
nitely. Agent w. H. Cummings stated
Wednesday morning that the men
were not striking for higher wages,
as they have been averaging from $23
to SIS per week for the last six months.
Just what the move Is made for Is a
mystery according to representatives
OF the company and is thought by
some that an agitator in sympathy
with foreign war relations may have
started some excitement among the
employees, as army orders were being
executed, it Is understood. But 26
spinners were working at the time of
the strike because of their failure to
work a large number of people are
thrown out of employment. The OPP
eratives in the other departments of
the mill are said to be considerably
exercised over the step which has
been taken. An official stated to the
Journal reporter Wednesday that no
effort would be made to procure new
spinners for the present.

SNOW MARKS ARRIVAL
OF WINTER WEATHER
First Fall Is a Real One and Means
White Thanksgiving.

Snow-glisteningly fiaky snow-the
kind which poets wax lyrical over
joIted washington's memory last night
to realization of the firm hold ad-
vance agents Of winter have already
secured for their cold hearted boss
who will soon take up his annual
reign.
False rumors heralding the seasons
first snowfall have been in circulation
for some time. Nevertheless. when
the first drops fell late in the after
noon and continued to fall all night
until the city was blanketed, hardly a
person could be found with the nerve
to admit that he had expected such
an ideal Christmas" snow on Novem-
ber 2S.
Eagerly awaited dispatches from the
Weather Bureau last night were indi-
cative of a continuance of a white
capped National Capital with the pos
sibility of a furry or two more today
and tomorrow. in honor Of Thanksgiv-
ing Day.
Arrival here yesterday of coal SEEM
ed providential to officials last night,
who remarked that residents of the
District will, in consequence, have one
more thing to be thankful for on
Thursday.
Well versed prognosticators OF
weather noted with interest last night
that it is rare when the first snow
fall" is such a successful one in the
light of picturesque effectiveness.
Usually the initial flake falling only
lasts for an extremely short time II IL
lays at all on the ground, and many
times IT merely fades into a warm
rain.

According to Mr.. Macfarren there

notify the proprietsrs that they were

He also deemed it expedient to train

Up to date the enrolment in the

It is expected that after Christmas
the class will number more than 2oO.
The enrolment Of the class has been
on a steady increase since It was
organized and two more teachers
have been added.
Great interest in manifested among
the men in the organization Of the
class. according to w. b. Patterson,
in charge of the night schools Of
the District, and many in the navy
as well as the army have Joined.
II Is probable that decimal filing
will be taught in one of the business
courses by series of lectures.
Speaking Of the proposed course, Mr..
Patterson said that. to install filing
cabinets and a card system that IL
needed would take time and money
and he Is sure that a series of
lectures would answer the purpose.
The decimal filing system is used
in the. War Department of this city
and since the enrolment at Bust
ness night school has been SO heavy
1t is thought probable that a decimal
filing course will be instituted within
the next two weeks.
The enrolment at Business High
is approximately 1000 and the at
tendance is increasing to such a great
extent that beginners classes are
formed every two weeks.
