makes the hair brittle.

Among the visitors Tuesday at the

TO Augusta Monday night on his way
from Boston to the National Home at
Togus. Serst. knopton came to Bos-

So far as has been learned. the ser
geant is the first man who was wit
ness of the molasses explosion last
week in Boston and who has reached
Augusta. and as the result Of the ex-
plosion he lost the sight of his right
eye, the eye being destroyed by
splinter entering it. He also claims
that he gave Il warning at the time
of the explosion by blowing his whis-
tie. which is something that all non
commissioned officers carry and
which he still carries in the breast
pocket of his olive drab blouse. He
also brought with him as a souvenir
some molasses soaked leggins and
pantaloons. which he wore when
caught in the food.

indicates. He is a young looking man
for his years, but he is grand
father, and also wears on his left arm

latter being for a nephew who was
killed in action. The sergeant, who is

SENATE
Tuesday. January q. 1919.

Tuesday, January II, 1919.
Senate called to order by the Presi-
dent.
Prayer by Rev. y. +. Walsh Of Au-
gusta.
Journal OF previous session read
and approved.
Papers from the House disposed Of
in concurrence.
Message from the Executive Chamber
To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives:
Immediately upon the organization
of the Committee on Public Safety, in
March, 1917, Walker Blaine Beale,
telephoning from his college dormi-
tory, placed at the disposition Of the
committee the house which had been
the home of his distinguished grand
father. He did this without reserve,
and with all the ardor of his high
spirit. His heart. if not his home, had
ever been in Maine, and he gave this
expression Of The love he bore her,
and of the obligation imposed by
birth. by the blood that Maine had
honored. and which by liustrious
service had honored Marie.
He was not to live to see the full
execution Of his fllial and patriotic
purpose by the uses TO which TINS
house was dedicated. and 10 which,
though the committee no longer
exists. it continues to he dedicated III
his memory by his mother.
From it the food production Of the
c.fi r.. IL 9lll1i,l1 adj =
iunct to the navy was created, unique
among the States-our people aroused
and united as never before in un-
selfish effort. And in the appalling
epidemic which swept the state. IT
was from here that the emergency
committee directed the fight against
it, and heroic messengers OF mercy
were sent forth to our stricken COM
munities.
Today. it is the repository of the
faithful records of the Exemption
Boards-the records of those who
served and who were ready to serve.
alike with the records of the few who
failed in this great test OF men.
This benefaction to the State was
the least gift the author Of it was to
give to the great cause in which his
whole heart was enlisted. He volun-
tcered. he died in action. No nobler
eulogy can any man have than this.
There have been many heroes i'll
this war. and heroines, too. far from
the battle line. But in the words of
that great American whom nation
has just been called upon to mourn.
The torches whose flame was brig hit
est were borne by the gallant men at
the front. and by the gallant women
whose husbands and lovers. whose
sons and brothers. were at the 'front.'
On the roll of eternal honor of those
who will never come back. no name
shall rank another!
For all made equal sacrifice. Among
them there is in our hearts no room
for invidious comparison, nor can
there be in theirs. Recruited from COL
lese. factory and from far. they lived
over there as they left us here: in
