ton homes. one in Portland, one in
Lewiston and the third in Bangor,
where girls who are known offenders
fit in body and in mind to become
again honest workers in the COM
munities where they must make their
living. is a plan which DR.. H. E.
Hitchcock of the Division of Venereal
Diseases of the Maine Department of
Health hopes to see in active opera :
ton soon. as q step forward in the
State and national program for the
prevention and cure of the social dis
eases.
DR.. Hitchcock has already dis
cussed the matter with workers in
Portland where suggestions have
| been made that a section of the.Alms-
house or the City hospital might be
turned over to this use. The plan
for detention houses would be worked
out similarly in Maine to what has
been done in other states which have
already established them as a neces-
sary feature of the fight against
venereal disease. DR.. Hitchcock's IS
PAoIl 10 SClllC" lldI dS xOllO"S.
In industrial and transportation
centers where girls whose bad con-
duct is officially recorded, a perma
nent home shall be established in
which these girls whose action have
brought them into the hands of the
authorities but who ought not to be
sent to reform schools, now the only
places in Maine available for such
culprits, shall be detained, under
strict training until they are fit
morally and physically, to go out into
of the working class.
While the girls are held at the de-
tention homes, they will be treated
and cured of whatever infectious So
cial disease their manner of living
has brought upon them, and will be
given at the same time, a moral and
industrial training which will open a
new life for them upon their release
Training In some line Of work for
which they are suited would be q
feature of the service rendered the
girls and the community by the de-
tention house.
DR.. Hitchcock makes clear that
while detention of such girls is
necessary as a sanitary public health
measure. it would not brand the girls
as criminals, as would be the case in
now available institutions. The de-
tention home, he says, has a definite
place in the reconstruction program,
giving the offender an opportunity to
overcome handicaps Of birth and en-
vironment, physical defects, educa-
ton neglects and hereditary infiu-
ences. 1t has come to be recognized
asian efficient agency for working
against venereal disease, through the
two years trial it was given during
war times, by government workers in
centers where soldiers were in train
ing and girls of this class naturally
fiocked.
The detention home is in recogni-
tion of the fact that a mere institu,
ton for the cure of venereaI disease
is of small avail unless opportunity is
given in it for vocational training
whereby the girls may attain de-
cent economic standing. and unless
this feature of the home is cmpha-
sized. it contributes to rather than
cures such delinquency.

proved to be-the Spring Hill hospi-
tai She then learned from the hos
pital force what had happened.
Her friends home had been de-
stroyed and she had been buried Tor
two days beneath the ruins. with
nothing left Of her apparel but her
shoes, from which the rubber heels
had even been torn. She was found
by searchers in the ruins, pronounced
dead and taken to the morgue to
await burial when time and material
for coffin could be found
She then began to dimly realize
that it was terribly cold and to won
Ger why so many people came to see
her., saying to herself: Why don't
they let me alone ?" A slight move-
ment of an eye and then muscle at
tracted the attention Of an attendant.
that she was alive was shown and
she was quickly removed to the hos
pital. where every possible attention
was given.
1t was found that she was cut and
bruised from head to feet, with five
ribs broken, and terrible cut by brok-
en- glass about the back.
1t should be said here that Miss
Manter was in Halifax on her way to
Sierra. where she was. to do Red
Cross work and it may then be said
that after partial recovery, wounds
still unhealed. she left the hospital
and went into the relief work in Hal
flax. She is an American woman.
She later returned to her home in
Lowell. where for some time she suf-
fered from spells of temporary alb
beration Of mind, during which spells
she would go away from home and
wander about for some time, totally
unaware of her condition or where
abouts. This persisted for some time.
until she submitted to an examina-
ton, which revealed the pleasant fact
that a large piece of glass was en-
bedded in her skull and pressing on
the brain. She Immediately submit
ted to surgical operation, the glass
was removed and she has since en-
joyed fine health. Some story, ,eh?
Miss Manter was emphatic in her
statements that the Halifax people
thoroughly appreciated the great
work Maine did in so promptly get
ting relief party and supplies
through to. the stricken city. saying
she heard nothing but praise and
praise unlimited for them. This is
rather satisfactory. for some Maine
people will hardly forget the ungen-
erous spirit of some more people
from another state, who deliberately
tried to take aIl'the glory due the
Americans in the relief work.

HALIFAX DISASTER
DECEMBER 6, II
Recalled. by Visit to Augusta of
American Woman Who Re-
members and Appreciates
Favors Then from Maine
People

Miss Martha Manter of, Lowell
Mass, was n caller on Friday at the
State House. Miss Manter was in
town for the express purpose of ex-
pressing her appreciation of a favor
from Maine people. She was also the
bearer of a remarkable story, one al
most unbelievable, but part Of
which was known before to the ac-
quaintances whom she came to see,
and as true as it is strange.
Miss Manter was shown about the
Capitol by Adjutant General Presson,
who first met her in Halifax during
the terrible days Immediately fol-
luwing the explosion of Dec. 6. 1917,
which almost wiped that city off the
earth and when thousands were
killed an dinjured. General Presson
was in charge of the relief party sent
by the State of Maine on receipt of
word of the disaster. In visiting one
Of the hospitals, it was stated that a
lone American woman was there
among the injured. She was found
interviewed and Gen. Presson got
word through to her people at home
of her safety. She came to Augusta
purposely to thank him again for the
kindness and attention of the Maine
people to her at that time.
Miss Manter was staying at the
home Of friend at Halifax. OF the
explosion she knew only that she saw
a great fash and lost consciousness
She next dimly saw cots and people
moving about. finding herself
swathed in bandages and suffering
great pain, helpless in one of the cots

Fish and Gams

The Fish and Game Department
often receive inquiries which. involve
in the answers very interesting in
formation, usually news to those re-
ceiving it and always of value. The
department among others not infre-
quently is asked if deer, moose, elk
fiand caribou shed their antiers an
nually. Such a question was lust re
ceived and the reply of Curator T. A,
James contained the following,
which will probably be news to most
Of our readers:
Deer, moose, elk and caribou do
shed their antlers annually although
they might carry them over a wear
on account Of sickness or injury
They begin the last Of December and
the horns are mostly shed by Jan. Is
They are without antlers until
spring. The new growth usually
starts late in March or early in
April and is fully developed by the
last of August or first of September
They are then covered with fine hair
called velvet, and when the growth
stops. this velvet peels off. It has
been the belief that each year a
point is added, but that Is not so. as
from my observation a buck has his
best antlers when in the prime of
life. say to years. s.-
After a deer or moose grows old
and loses his teeth, his antlers are
generally more porus and not az
large as when his vitality was at its
height. Again, our winters have
something to do with. the growth of
the antlers., as during a severe wint
er. when the deer are yarded all
winter and food in the yard is scarce,
the deer are in a starved condition
in the spring and as the antlers are
formed by a flow Of blood, the
chances are that they will be infer
ior to those grown when the animal
is in good physical condition"
