WAR HAD WROUGHT CHANGE
Doughboy Found It Hard to Realize
the Difference Two Years
of War Had Made.

A new story of the Red Cross bag
comes from Harvey d. Gibson. former
Red Cross commissioner fog Europe
and president of the Liberty National
bank of New York. He got the story
from one of the workers in a hospital
hut in Dijon, Everybody who has even
seen a wounded soldier knows the bag
of gaudy cretonne with the little Red
Cross In the corner. in which each boy
keeps the bit of shrapnel the doctor
dug out of his knee, the last letter
from home, the picture of his girl, his
toothbrush and all his most cherished
possessions. One of the boys in the
Dijon hospital had just been presented
with his bag, a pink-and-white one. He
accepted it gracefully, hen he began
to laugh. "Say," he declared, 'if some
one had told me two years ago that
I'd be a-goin' 20 war with a wrist watch
on one wrist and a bracelet"-he held
out his Identification disk-"on the
other and a cretonre bag in my hand
Say, I'd have pasted him one !"

MODEL VILLAGES IN ENGLAND
Country Is Recognizing Necessity Of
Improvement in General Hous-
ing Conditions.

1t is said that the average English
middle-class home Is so ugly it ought
to be just burned down, and English
men are just beginning to realize this
fact, with the result that all over Eng
land plans are afoot to build model
villages and model suburbs.
Brighton is the first to lead the way
1t is building a super-suburb, consist.
ing of 900 houses, so planned that
there will be not more thar ten to the
acre. This will allow each house a gar
den of 10 rods-or $40 feet.
The suburb is to be built in an or
chard setting. Fruit trees will line
the roadway. There will be no walls,
the gardens being divided by hedges.
There will be recreation grounds, al
lotments and common Fairgrounds.
The houses are to be built on modern
and artistic lines, the internal arrange
ments being the last word in house
comfort.
The only fly In the ointment is the
question of the small boys. Will they
be model enough to inhabit a model
suburb, or will they help themselves to
the fruit that abounds in the public
thoroughfares? 1t is hoped they will
become imbued with a great respect
for communal rights and thus grow up
flrst-class democrats.

Fruits on

We have much to learn from other
countries, and the general plea for the
fruit tree along highways is not so i'm
practicable as many seem to think.
japanese cherries are famous the
world over for the beauty of their
flowers and foliage. Community spray
ing would at once change the posi-
bilities of fruit raising and lessen the
number of decayed orchards Of which
we hear, Many u township might
easily become famous through the COM
munal fruit it might raise along its
roadside and induce its farmers to take
up as well, sending to the markets only
the perfect fruit and preserving the
rest in marketable form. A farmer,
observing a dozen fine Baldwin apple
trees on the roadside by his place bear
ing a full harvest of perfect fruit, will
not long resist the temptation to try
some owe his fence.

Yet the owner could be no more pos

New Mormon Temple
Built Near Honolulu

Honolulu, T. H.-Completed at
cost of approximately S150,000, the
magnificent new Mormon temple at
Laie, forty miles from Honolulu on
this island, Oahu, stands a monu-
ment to seventy years of effective
work by the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints in Hawaii.
On December 12, 1850, only three
years after the great migration of
the Mormons to Utah, the first
party of Mormon missionaries
landed at Hawaii, little more than
thirty years later than the first
Christian missionaries from Boston.
In this first Mormon party was
Elder George Q. Cannon, later a
counselor to the first presidency of
the church in Salt Lake City. He
remained in the islands a number
of years, learned the native language
and translated the Book of Mormon
into Hawaiian.
Joseph f. Smith, the late presi-
dent of the church, came to Hawaii
in 1854 as a missionary, being but
sixteen years old at that time. He
remained in the islands four years
and returned in 1886 for a stay of
two years, during which his son,
Elias Wesley Smith. now residing
here as president of the Hawaiian
Mission. was born. Twenty years
ago President Smith made his last
visit to Hawaii.
At present the Mormon Church
has more than fifty places Of wor-
ship on the different islands of
Hawaii. with a membership among
the natives of approximately 10000.
Its property, including the big sugar
plantation at tho Laie settlement, is
worth millions of dollars. A year
ago the church paid 100000 for 500
acres of sugar cane land adjoining
its plantation, eleven miles of rail-
way and an irrigation system.
The new temple at Laie has a
beautiful setting in a tropical gar
den of five acres, crowning a small
hill.
The temple, constructed of pull
verized lava rock and re-enforced
concrete, is built in the form of a
Greek cross, occupying a space of
seventy-cight feet square. 1t is said
to be ain exact replica in design and
and dimensions of Solomon's Tenn
pie, and is rather suggestive of the
Aztec style of architecture.

Prohibition has made breakfast a

Nine out of ten are calling for buck

have made sausage popular with
thousands of non-topers who never
craze for sausage to the fact that the
non-topers believe that these en-
forced abstainers have really built

of sausage implies buckwheat cakes.

Million Converts From
January to June Is
Plan Of Methodists

Philadelphia, Dec. 5.-Approval of
the general purposes and scope of
the Interchurch World Movement
was given yesterday at the closing
session of the annual meeting of the
Board of Home Mission and Church
Extension of Methodist Episcopal
Church. The interchurch movement
comprises more than 80 Protestant
denominations which are combining
forces for q financial drive for close
to half billion dollars.
The resolution of approval de-
clared that conditions initiate
against Methodist participation in the
proposed drive as early as the spring
of 1920 because of the recent cam
paign of the Methodists in raising
$113, 100000 for Methodist Church
expansion, and urged that the drive
be deferred until a later date.
Plans were laid at yesterdays
meeting for a great revival to win
100000 converts between January
and June.

cass of Reckless DRIVING

The Public Utilities Commission in
a decision rendered in the matter of
the accident at Jacks Crossing, near
Pejepscot Mills Station June 27 last
when George NJ. Barney Of Portland
while driving an automobile from
Brunswick to Lewiston struck and
killed Stephen Abbott, aged seven
years, declared that it is the plain
duty of every automobile driver to so
control his machine that he will be
able to bring it to full stop before
coming on to any railroad crossing.
THE road was somewhat soft on
account of a recent rain and the
speed Of the automobile is estimated
by Mr.. Barney at eight or 10 miles
per hour. and by other witnesses who
saw the accident at 80 miles per
hour" says the decision.
1.-THE fact that the child was thrown
so far and that the automobile went
so far before it could be finally
stopped would seem to indicate that
Mr.. Barney was going much more
rapidly than 10 miles per hour at the
time of the accident, even If not at
the rate of 80 miles per hour as esti-
mated by the other witnesses. At
all events. the facts and circum-
stances of the case show that he did
not have such control of his machine
at that time as to be able to stop 1T
before he reached the railroad cross
ing, and had a train been passing at
that moment, he could not have
avoided collision with it,
Daily Kennebec journal., 1919-07-24
jn26eothurs.t

states that he was hurry4ng home as
fast as possible so that his sister
would not get wet. The crossing is
a clear vision crossing with no OBJ
structions, but Mr.. Blair says that
his vision was obscured by the rain
on the wind shield. He was travel
ing at about Is miles per hour and
did not slacken his speed as he ap-
preached the crossing. and did not
see the train until he was right at
the crossing. He then put on more
gas and tried to cross the track ahead
of the train. He admits that he was
careless, and it is apparent that this
accident is the direct result of the
carelessness of this automobile
driver in neglecting to take any pre-
caution whatever as he came to this
crossing. A man so careless should
not be permitted to drive an auto
mobile, and we believe that his driv-
er's license ought to be revoked.
"A copy Of this report will be sent
to the secretary of State for his in
