State House Notes

Governor Carl Z. Milliken. accom-
panied by Councillors Ashley st.
Clair, Norman II. Fay and George w.
Norton, and Major c. Z. Davis, Capt.
G. E. FogS and Capt. Ara Cushman,
Jr., attended the Commencement ex-
ercises on Tuesday of the Gorham Nor
NAL school at Gorham. The governor
addressed the students, saying in open
ing that he was exceedingly interest
ed in schools and that he had six spec
ial reasons for being so as probably
they knew, referring thus to his chill
dren, the eldest of which, a daughter,
was celebrating her 18th birthday on
Tuesday and felt very rightly that she
was giving a great deal for her
state in not having him at home for
the festivities. The staff and coun-
Gil members also each made brief re-
marks.
The Public Utilities Commission has
rendered a decision ordering that the
Grand Trunk railway of Canada equip
it's railroad during the current year
from the termination of it's present
block system in the Portland yard to
and through it's Falmouth yard with
automatic block signals subject to the
approval Of this commission.

! Many boys have learned wigwag codes
| in Boy Scout work. But it is not at all
| necessary that boy be a Scout to take
up the sending and receiving of messages
with flags. Any pair of boys, who will
make four flags Of light poles and bunt-
ing, can teach themselves this interesting
method Of transmitting intelligence. The
| flag code Is published in Scout manuals
! In all encyclopedias, and can be learned
as far as sending is concerned, in a very
| few hours of STUDY. 1t should not be
! forgotten that, as the Selective Conscrip-
ton law has been passed in the present
Congress. all bo7s may look forward to
a certain amount of military service. And
those boys who can demonstrate a special
j fitness or a special ability in any line will
undoubtedly be considered for military
service in the capacity in which they can
| be most useful. Hence, a thorough
knowledge Of flag signaling, Of Morse ana
Continental, of telegraphy and Of wire

of electricity, unquestionably would be
used.-Brigadier General Squier in The
