Work more
Produce more
SdUe more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products
Railroads are now near the peak Of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-
gineS, more cars, more tracks, more ter
minalS-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and SO increase production -
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow -s--------

Director Of Citizenship Raymond

America, to recommend this ser
vice to its 100000 scout officials

of the Boy Scouts during the great

the several departments of the fed

it not, therefore, be fitting for these
young patriots to utilize the expert
ence attained during the world war

of scouting by doing a good turn
daily for the millions of foreigners

instruction in citizenship If they

vision alone Of the State Department

IN this city. of which DR.. H. e,
Thompson is director and Mrs. Ruth

tuberculosis. 24s for malignancy such
as cancer and diseases of that type.
$50 Vidal tests for typhoid and 5S37
for venereal disease.
These tests were all necessary
ones and otherwise must have been
made by doctors and private labora-
tories qualified for such work and for
the most part out of the State, at
charges Of two dollars each for the
simpler tests for tuberculosis. diph-
iberia, typhoid and the like, and five
dollar charges for the more difficult
tests for cancer and syphilis which
only experts are prepared to per-
form.

carried on for years at the State lab

have been made. The figures for 1918

Powerful Film
PLAYS at Colonial

Two powerful film plays. both entirely
different in character. are on the Co.
lonial program for today. They were
shown for the first time yesterday and
the large audiences that saw them were
enthusiastic. i
Mystery stories in the movies have
heretofore been left to the hectic and
sometimes badly jumbled serial picture.
\ In His Wife's Friend" the big Para
mount-Artcraft feature with Dorothy
Dalton as the star which is one of the
two dramas at the Colonial, Thomas II.
Ince has produced a highly interesting
piece of work in which a battling muir
der case is mingled with a love theme
of more than ordinary appeal. The
murdered man is an eccentric million
aire whose obsession is chess, which he
plays in solitude neglecting his young
wife. A former sweetheart of the wife's
appears, and the husband, to all intents
and, purposes, commits suicide to allow
the two to be free to marry. However,
suspicion points to the wife's admirer
and the audience is kept in suspense
while the scenes shift to India where
British army in campaign against the
rebels. Returning to England the mys-
terry is cleared up in most startling
and satisfying manner Miss Dalton IS
supported in His Wife's Friend"
which is being shown at the Colonial
theatre during the first part of the
week, by capable cast headed bv Hen
ry Mortimer.
No better picture Of the great North
west has ever been seen than Jacques
of the Silver North the other big fea-
ture at the Colonial which will also be
seen for the last times today. Mitchell
Lewis famed all over the country as
the most convincing actor of French
Canadian roles, is the star Of this Select
picture.

against 1878 in 1918; les Rtscella-
neous meteorological examinations in
1919 against SO for the previous year;
1927 for tuberculosis during the past
year as opposed to 1929 in 1918; $50
for typhoid for 1919 and 1856 for
1918: and 343 for cancer against 242
for the preceding year. In such in
stances as the 1919 tests are fewer
than those for 1918, 1t is indicated
that such disease was less prevalent
last season. The most marked gain
is in the number Of tests for venereal
disease, showing 5SS7 for 1919 anc
but 2517 for1918.
This phenomenal increase amount.
ing> to more than 5000 tests is due
to the concentrated campaign which
has been waged throughout the State
ton of both the Maine Department
Of Health and the Federal Public
Health Service.
