In the midst of all this sternness, OF

AS II snatched from the hand OF ma :
ture herself, two hundred acres Of virgin
forest and rolling lands were converted
into the estate and gardens that sur
round the Samoset. Looking cut from
hill top above the Penobscot Bay the
hotel views in prospective a panorama
OF seascape and offshore islands on
the ocean side. and from the other side
which fronts the hills, the Camden
Mountains with all of their beauty OF
forest and lake.
Like all the fine modern hotels OF
New England, the Samoset possesses an
array of amusemcnts, and the facilities
for every kind of outdoor and indoor
recreation.
The golf course, laid out In con

Golf Courses Abound
Just here lot it be said that on the

there are excellent golf courses and
fine clubhouscs.
just off shore from Cape Cod are
Martha Vineyard and Nantucket. two
of the most famous island resorts in
the world. Their history began with
the discovery of America, and though
they have long since put on the gtlisc
of fashionable summer resorts, they
still retain something of the mellow
atmosphere that their ancient history
bcqueathed them.
There is something about the words
peninsula and island that suggests iso-
lated location, but the truth is that
Cape Cod, Martha s Vineyard and Nan
tucket are very easy to reach. The
lines of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad traverse the whole
length of the Cape. fine motor roads
spread like a spider web over Cape Cod

Portland take themselves and their
town seriously.
At present they have no less an ambi

great ports of entry OF the world. In
the face of the fact that Portland is
geographically nearer Europe than any
other seaport of the United states, and
! that it has one of the finest harbors on

As summer resort, Portland can
count its advantages in tens.
The city hotels. the Congress Square,
Columbia, Falmouth, Lafayette, PrebIe
House and New Chase are all of the
well equipped kind to be found only in
modern cities. while beach resorts and
hill country vacation places are just
out side the city gates. Along Casco

are dozens of fine individual hotels and
scores of cottages that have been built

AMERICA TO BUILD
SHIPS FOR EUROPE

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 15-Or-
ders for possibly three million gross
tons of ships to be built for foreign
account in American shipyards may
be placed as the result of an order by
President Wilson permitting the build
ing of such ships provided 1t could be
done without interfering with the con-
struction of the American merchant
marine The presidents action was
announced in statement issued yes
terday at the white house. The order
was suggested by Chairman Hurley of
the shipping board.
Norway is expected to place large
orders, possibly 100000 tons, and
France and Italy probably will let
contracts for considerable tonnage, it
was explained, but England is not ex-
pected to place any orders in American
yards.
At the shipping board it was ex-
planned that few orders could be plac-
ed Immediately as the capacity of the
yards for foreign account was yet lin
tied.
In respect to the prices to be quoted
by American shipbuilders to foreign
interests it was recalled that the last
price made for ships built in American
yards was $40 ton. ALI contracts
for foreign ships will be placed pri
vately, shipping board officials said
but under the general supervision OF
| the board.

Weak tired people regain strength

advanced more. from their former lev

GETTING -TO-NORMAL PROBLEM

of bank notes, bank credits, ETC., in
various forms. America has drawn
gold from all the world during the
past five years. On June 80, 1914, the
gold reserve underlying the old nat
ional banking system was but 592 mil
lions, compared with $1,786, 200. 900
on June 80, 1918 All this bulk of gold
underlay the Federal Reserve banks
and government note issues year
ago. Then we are to consider the var
ious liberty loans, each bond of which
has become available as money in the
sense that it is security on which one
can borrow cash at the banks. Now
a credit at the bank is as good as
the cash, If you use check book.
The increase of credit instruments of
many kinds has really acted as an in
flation of the currency, also the price
of all that money will buy.
It is evident, therefore, that there
has been a universal influence at work
which has elevated prices first of all.
and then wages as natural result.
To all of this we are fast becoming
accustomed The dollar of the Fa-
theirs doesn't go as far, nor does it
need to, under prevailing .circum-
stances, for we get more of them for
our toll or for anything we grow or
produce Whether the ratio of earn
ings in all lines and trades will '4bal-
ance" with daily expenses and leave a
margin to lay up for rainy day, is
the all-important question. This is the
one and only solution requisite at this
hour. This matter being adjusted We
may calmly await the future in con-
fdence.
What Professor Fisher Says.
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale says
"The main reason why business is not
going ahead better is that most peo-
pie expect prices to drop. This gen.
eral conviction that prices are sure to
drop is putting brake upon the en-
! tire machinery of production and dis
tribution. Readjustment waits because
we keep on waiting for it. 1t is in.
teresting to observe that many manu-
! facturers think that prices must come
down, including the cost of labor; but
| they are ready to demonstrate to YOU
/ that their own prices cannot come
| down, nor can they pay lower wages
Almost everything they buy costs
| twice as much as before and thei1
labor is twice as dear"
This, we take 1t, is a very fair pre-
sentation of the subject Practically
all manufacturers are in the same
boat. 1t will be useless to rock it;
they can only sit steady and row. Blu
they must keep on rowing. The PEG
pie need their goods. and have the
money to pay for them. No man will
