"OH, BOY" PROVED
MIGHTY GOOD

"Oh, Boy which heads the big mid.
week bill at the Colonial theatre proved
mighty satisfying when it was given
for the first time yesterday and the sue
cess it attained then is sure to be more
than duplicated when it is repeated
today. This "filmusical comedy" re-
vealed the fact that Albert Capellani.

all the technical skill. all of the deli
cate art and beauty which mark his
more serious productions. No one but
would have boldly adventured upon
such an entirely new enterprise Musi-
cal comedy, at best. is a frivolous intan-
gible thing. often devoid Of logic and
reason but rioting over with pretty
girls. In the Capellani production there
are pretty girls. who charmingly dress
the story and give it that degree Of tell

has fashioned a coherent, whimsical

Public Utilities

A hearing has been ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission on the
complaint of the Stockton Springs
Water Co. against itself to be held
at 7.30 P. n. Monday. Dec. -. In
the supreme judicial court room at
Belfast.
The company declares that the
rates for municipal and fire service
as we'll as rates for other companies
and corporations have been in force
for many years without material
change or revision. The company
further contends that the rates are
discriminatory and unfair to the mu-
inequalities, other companies or cor
porations, and private takers. and
to the Stockton Springs Water Co.,
the complainant, in that owing to
the high cost of operation, labor, sup
plies and practically every item en-
tering into the building and cost OF
operating a water system, the pres
ent income derived from rates, both
municipal and private. are wholly in
adequate to provide for the proper
maintenance and operation Of the
plant, depreciation and fair return
on just valuation.

really marvellous, not only as to

HOW TO WASH A CAR

Washing the car is not the casual
joL some owners seem to imagine.
To begin with, the ear should be
washed Immediately after IL has been
dirtied If mud is allowed to re-
main on the vanished surface for
more than day IL Is difficult to
eradicate it. For the washing plain
water should be used, neither too hot
nor too cold. about 90 degrees fab
renheit being the proper tempera-
ture. A large sponge soaked in
clear water and then sopped against
the surface, so that the water trick
les down is best. Never turn a stream
body. This will grind particles of
sand and other grit into the yarnish,
to the detriment of the finish. The
idea is to float the mud or dirt on
the surface.
Soap should never be usec on the
body except for removing grease or
oil spots. A small piece of soft
cloSh well covered with CASTLE soap
suds. serves very welt 10 remove the
grease from the panels. The hood
should never be washed while II is
hot ,as this will result in discolor-
alton. In cleaning the radiator send
a stream of water from the rear in
stead of from the front, to keep the
moisture out of the mechanism.
In drying the body cletn cham
OILS skin should be used. II spots
OF tar or road oil are found on the
body, il is best to treat them with
salt butter or kerosene. The but
ter softens the deposit so that il may
be wiped off easily. Kerosene
should be applied locally and wiped
off within a minute.

THOSE GLOBES, HOW soILED,

A gentleman was giving the globes
on the street lights the once over"
Saturday night. There was a dark
round spot of considerable dimen-
sions in the bottom of each of the
globes and the sides were streaked
where miniature cascades of rain
mingled with dust had run down the
inside and left their swarthy train.
Whose job Is it to clean these light
globes?" asked the gentleman but no
one knew the answer. He believed
the lamps would shed considerably
more radiance If cleaned. Most peo-
pie share the same belief.
