Treasurer Sanborn Says Nothing in
Rumor That Steamer VIII Be Oper-
ated Only Between Bath and Booth
bay Harbor.
In anticipa ton of the coming summer
season on the Kennebec river and
Boothbay harbor waters the Lewiston
Journal prints the following rumors in
regard to the changes and proposed
changes in the steamboat service:
Summer residents at Squirrel Island
are deeply interested in every rumor
that relates to summer transportation
by steamers from Bath to Boothbay
Harbor. 1t is known, OF course, that
the fine steamers. Southport ana
"WestpOrt" have been chartered to the
government and will be removed from
this line. The latest rumor is that the
Islander" which has run from Angus
ia to the Islands and back a round trip
of over q hundred miles day would
be run from Bath to Boothbay Harbor
and the islands two round trips a day
disseminating the Augusta service
which could be handled by train The
Winter Harbor will probably run as
usual from NViscasset but this trip is
expensive and out Of the way for rcSu-
lar traffic.
Regarding the two steamers. South
port and Westport Of the Eastern
Steamship Corporation, the Journal mas
nothing to say, but of the rumor rela-
tive to the steamer Islander being TAX
en- from her present route and run on
the Bath and Boothbay harbor route
two trips daily, leaving her patrons
from places ABOVE Bath to be taken
care of by the trains. Treasurer Walter
NJ. Sanborn of the Augusta, Gardiner
& Boothbay Steamboat Co. by which
corporation the steamer Islander is
owned and operated. said yesterday
when asked about the rumor, that
there was absolutely nothing in it.
The Islander, after completing nc,
last seasons run, was hauled up at
Boothbay Harbor and is now about TO
have a new shaft installed, which piece
Of steel is in process of construction at
Bath. The steamer will be placed in
the railway to have the shaft installed
and will later he put into condition to
take her place on her usual route Tor
the spring and summer season. Mt.
Sanborn thinks that she will this year
begin her seasons run about the mid
die Of May.

"A really beautiful woman is al

true beauty comes from the blood and

Rich, red blood, the fountain of life
and youth, shows itself in a clear rosy
skin, solid flesh, fine form and keen
bright mind. Red ibloodcd women, with
strong nervous vitality, are sought aft
or by men; they are the hope and lead
ers of the world.
American women lead the world in
health. beauty and intelligence, and
their number is increasing. They have

Miss Lavinia Newell
Speaks to Red Cross
Women Workers Thursday
Speaker Addresses Large Gathering
and Tells Of Great Work Which Is

SPSNS' 'NAAtS SoSS GO 1dSnSElH8
and Tells Of Great Work Which Is
Being Done by the Women in This
Country and Abroad
A large and enthusiastic meeting Of
Red Cross women workers of Angus
ia and vicinity was held at the Assem-
bly, hall of the Y. NJ. c. A. building at
1880 Thursday morning. at which time
Miss Lavinia Newell Of Boston. direc-
tor of women's work for New Eng
land, gave most interesting and in
structive talk, telling of the great
amount of work being done by the wo-
men both in this country and aboard
and explaining many things regarding
the activities of the Red Cross.
Women workers were present from
all the chapter branches in this section
and all found in Miss NewelPs talk
many helpful suggestions regarding the
methods Of doing their work. The
speaker explained that all Of the in
structions in regard to the work and
the directions given came directly
from Gen. Pcrshing's headquarters III
France. and as the soldiers and officers
are right there on the ground an !
know what they want, there should pc
lip tIitIclSfu VI tleIi requests.
Miss Newell urged the women IT.
keep on knitting socks without the
double heel and to knit them in larger
numbers. She said that the directions
for hospital garment work is the same
as it was formerly, viz: Four shirts to
two. sets of pajamas to one GONZALES
cent garment. And she said that chap
tiers and branches are to make in that
proportion until the quota is sent them
from headquarters. Tie same applies
TO surgical dressings. to continue as
formerly until the new quota Is sent
from headquarters. She stated that no
slackers should be heard from among
the women in the State, for as Major
Murphy says: at is the Stacker who
loses us this war and every New Eng
land woman must work as the French
and Belgian women have worked and
be thankful for the privilege"
In her talk Miss Newell read a num-
Der of extracts from the address,
What Has the American Red Cross
Been Doing the Past Year, which was
delivered by Major Grayton Mp.
Murphy, Red Cross commissioner 10
Europe, at a meeting in the Waldorf
Astoria hotel. New York. on Jan. %
of this year. The full text Of this adj
oress will be published in the Kenne-
bee Journal shortly.
Upon examination OF the socks made
by Augusta women workers Miss New
ell found them to be done by the stan
dard rule. 1t should be noted that the
socks to be made M the future by
workers in this vicinity are to be knit
according to the rule given out by Mrs.
Parrott, with the exception Of the
double heel which is to be made single.
only those who attended the meet
ing and heard Miss Newell can realize
the great amount of good which she is
doing in the service of the country. At

1t is said that the outlook for much
activity in Augusta Yacht Club circles
the coming season is rather poor than
otherwise. and that it is rather doubt
full If there is much doing about the
clubhouse or on the river. The accept
ance of the Kestrel II, Commodore
Gannett's flagship. by the government
for use in the patrol service, has taken
that vessel from the river. and other
boats have been disposed of in one way
or another SO that those which yet re-
main are few and far between. The
few boats of the fleet are still stored in
winter quarters, some Of them on the
east shore OF the river and others in
the freight shed on the steamboat
wharf but whether or not all will be
put overheard when the season opens
remains to be seen.
