Of knowledge and experience gained dur

CONGRESSMAN VISIT LONDON
Visit U. S. Hospitals in London
Will Speak To-day To Muni-
ton Workers.

London, Oct. 25.-The II American con-
gresham who are making an unofficial
tour of the war area passed this morning
in conference with Walter Hines Page, the
American ambassador, at the embassy.
The ambassador acquainted them with
the latest developments in the war situa-
ton.
Mr.. Page then invited the congressman
to luncheon at his house, where they
met number of distinguished American
and British army and navy officers.
1t has been intended to visit the House
of Commons tonight, but at the last mo-
ment the visit was deferred until Monday,
when Premier Lloyd George will propose
vote of thanks to the American army
and navy. Tonight the congressman vis-
tied the American officers club and the
American hospitals in London. To-mor
row will be devoted to visits to various
Red Cross hospitals
After the inspection of the hospitals
the congressman will go to the industrial
centers and make speeches to workers in
the munitions and shipyard districts, ex-
planning to them the preparations that are
being made in the United States for the
carrying on Of the war
1--WE want to tell the British workers
what America is doing" said one of the
congressman. "Then we want to tell the
American workmen what the British
workers have DONE
The members of the party explain that
each individual is defraying his own eX-
penses for the entire trip, which originated
in a patriotic desire to get first hand
impressions for constituents back home
of the actual fighting conditions.

Masculine Vanity

Are men vainer than women?
We have often wondered, and we didn't t
know exactly how to express what we felt
about it until Arnold Bennett told lis in
The Meaning of Frocks" in November
Cosmopolitan.
Mr.. Bennett claims that the haunted
look worn by haberdashers comes from
the long concealmento of terrible secret
that men are, after all, quite as fussy as
women about their appearance. We have
frequently pondered over the fact that
when man buys cravat or a suit of
clothes he doesn't want his women folk
around-but when woman buys frock
or hat she is always glad to have the
company and criticism of her son or
husband.
And this is because, so Mr.. Bennett says,
man has long cherished and kept the Sc
cret of his inordinate vanity away from
women.
Arnold Bennett always writes enter
tainingly and we'll on any subject he elects,
but in The Meaning of Frocks he has
written even more brilliantly than usual.
This article is the first Of series from
Mr.. Bennett pen that Cosmopolitan will
publish in the coming months
If they are all as clever as the one in
November Cosmopolitan we shall look
forward to them with great interest.

Forestry Department

! The annual report of John t. Mitch
Gil of Patten, one of the chief fire
Wardens for the Penobscot waters
which has been filed with Forestry
Commissioner Forrest II. Colby, SAYS
in part:
The inspector, Carleton w. Eaton
suggests that a 50-foot tower be placed
on Spoon Mountain which is on the
new line that runs from Seboeis Bridge
TO Millimegassett, i suggest that a new
cabin be built at Beetle Mountain and
think that this cabin can be built by
the lookoutnen and the patrolmen as
have been the others. l would suggest
that cabin be built at Webster Lake
The patrolmen could do this in wet
weather 1t should be built at Nor
way Point. The cabin we are using is
the old dam house and it is all gone
There would have to be nails, paper
and one mile Of wire.
Another suggestion I would like to
make is that the patrol boat which is
used by the patrolmen on Chamberlain
Lake be put down on Telos Dam where
they could go every day on one side or
the other in lee Of the work. The
patrolnan could stay at Telos dam
house and if he had any spare time. he
could look after Coffeeless Pond and
Carleton Road TO Sourdnahunk Lake
Ii not, there should be a patrolman to
look after township five, range II and
township six, range II, which should
be together.
Il would also suggest that the for
estry department build cabin at what
lis known as Lane and Hay Brook sta
ton. on Township six. range six, and
township seven, range seven. We have
been using an old office given us by
Elmer Bryson for the use Of the pa
trolman. Mr.. Bryson has also gem
crously given us the telephone line to
connect with the main Schools line.
THE forestry department owns three
miles Of telephone line from Beetle
Mountain to the Eagle Lake Road, and
L suggest that it be seen what a trade
can be made with the Lincoln Pulp
wood Company to take over the line
that we are hooked onto, as it runs
one way to Schools Farm and the
other way to Trout Brook. At present
the Lincoln Pulpwood Company has no
more use for this line.
Il would like to suggest that tower
be placed on Center Mountain, on
township four, range 10. About 10
miles Of wire is needed to go from the
line of the Lincoln Pulpwood Company
to the mountain and from the cabin to
Center Mountain Pond on township
four, range 10, to connect with the
Great Northern lines. / have stored at
