During the summer the department
chairman. Mrs. Robert Treat Whites
house, and the director, Mrs. Flor
ence A. Stevens held six meetings
with the county chairmen. grouping
the counties for convenience in trav-
ell, and holding the meetings at Wis
casset, Rockland. Bangor. Augusta.
South Paris and Portland.
At these meetings were presented
the plans for county organization and
work. Aroostook. Hancock and
Washington county meetings are yet
to be held
The tentative program presented
on May IL has. as one project de-
manded immediate attention. 1.-THE
marketing of agricultural products
and handicraft of rural homes" The
opportunity, for beginning such work
came with the Centennial Exposition,
June 26-July 5. where a home in
dustries booth was arranged. In this
booth was display of food products
and handicraft from IA counties.
Eighty-eight consignors sent in'near-
ly 1000 articles values at $500.
Sales amounting to $542.24 were
made and orders taken for many ar
ticles. The result has been tabulated
in a card catalogue system so that
we have on file lists of women who
have home products for sale, lists of
articles and lists of purchasers. The
booth paid for clerical help and jan
itor service and closed with deficit
Of "a cents. exclusive of insurance
placed on the collection.
Conservation of the resources OF
the household has been another
phase of home department work. In
cooperation with the First Federal
Reserve District saving division
committee was added to the home
department. with Mrs. Herbert J.
Brown of Portland as chairman. The
definite work of that committee is
with the women's organizations of
the state. A conservation program,
touching health, public and private
possessions. and investments has
been worked out, and explained to
representatives of womens' clubs in
IS counties. In this program the de-
partment stands behind the health
program of the State Board of
Health and the Maine Public Health
Association and will further their
health projects in every way.
Through the club study of public
possessions we feel that the cam,
paign to Know Maine" has been
inaugurated.
The budget work which was done
in banks of the State previous to
May IL has had the following results:
An invitation was accepted by the
department director to address the
Maine Bankers Association at their
annual convention at Bangor. June
26. A plan for giving the home bud
get department a permanent place in
the banking system is now under
consideration. On Oct 10, the direc-
tor spoke by invitation at the annual
convention of the American Bankers
Association held at Washington, d.
c. The home budget plan for banks
as worked out by the State Chamber
of Commerce and Industrial League
was presented to that body. Maine
being the first State to have a def
mite plan for work which bankers
were considering vital in their thrift
campaign.

department have begun schedule Of
speaking in various women's organ
izations with the object of making
known the work of the organization
and inviting utilization. After a talk
given by the director to the Maine
Federation of Womens' Clubs, on
Sept. 20. resolution for affiliation
with our organization was presented
by Mrs. Whitehouse and, on recon-
mendation of the resolutions COM
mittee. that body voted to apply for
membership in the State Chamber of
Commerce and Agricultural League.
In addition to meetings reported in
the foregoing. the director has spok-

girls at the Eastern States Associa-
ton at Springfield. Mass, addressed
the School of Citizenship at Bates
college. and spoken at several small
club meetings, travelling in the work
approximately 1000 miles.

Whitehouse of Portland advocated an
aggressive educational and publicity
campaign to tell the people of the
State what the organization is and
what it is doing and what it can do if
1t has the resources. Mr.. Gulnac de-
clared that the executive council
would Like to employ an efficient paid
field secretary and a paid publicity
bureau, but that 1t hasn't the money.

Morris l.. Slugg of Belfast said the

various methods of advertising the
State Chamber Of Commerce and

work the organization has already
done. but of which the general public
knows but little.

The moment you feel a dull ache in

TURKEY DIES HARD.

The Sick Man of Europe is hard
to kill. He has been dying for cen
turtles; but he isn't dead yet. The
allies are discovering it is one thing
to kill him by ink on a peace treaty,
and another thing to prevent the
corpse from jumping out of his
paper coffin and escaping the grave
diggers.
The Turks refuse to be parties to
the League of Nations mandates to
retain their holdings in Asia Minor
they must fight the Sick Man. But
the people of Great Britain, France
and Italy do not want a new war.
Greece has offered to fight the
allies battles in Turkey for them.
The supreme council of the allies has
decided to let Greece do the fight
ing up to a certain line, which would
keep the Greeks out of CONSTANT
nople. In return Greece gets
Smyrna. The allies themselves will
take care of the fighting, If any is
to be done, in and near the Turkish
capital.
The supreme council evidently be-
lieves Turkey will accept peace
treaty terms if she is backed against
the wall in Constantinople.

THE SLAVE.

Industry gets out of its steam
engines only is per cen of their Jos
sible power. The rest is wasted be-
cause steam power plants are idle
an average of IA hours IN every "a,
and because several factories each
have a steam engine where M
engine could generate enough power
for all.
This idle power a be harnessed
and put to work as an electrical
slave. So say four great American
engineering societies backing the
Murray plan for pooling power in
the great eastern manufacturing dis
trict. Murray, a power expert,
would burn coal at the mines and in
central power plants. putting trans
p~ortAtion and manufacturing on an
electric basis.
Steam locomotives serving this
eastern section generate, by burning
coal, 10000 horsepower more
than would be needed to do the same
work with electric locomotives.
Electrifcation OF industries in this
eastern zone would cut Their present
consumption of coal in two.
Edwin Ludlow. noted engineer
puts it this way:
The railroads now burn rs per
cent. of the total output of the BIZ
luminous coal mines. With electric
cation this would be reduced to 10
or IL per cent. Freight congestion
and c~ar-supply troubles would be
solved. Coal too high in sulphur for
safe storage could then be burned as
produced, and the mines kept in con-
tinuous operation"
The Scientific American says that
putting the railroads and industries
of the east on an electrical basis
would cost S1.24O, 500, 900. but that
its certain saving would be "a per
cent. a year on the investment.
Railroad congestion and coal
shortage now confront the nation.
The solution is In burning coal at
and III central power plants
ard sending the resultant electricity
over high-teneion wires.
And why is ii not done? Because
there is nobody to pay for the coal
burning equipment that would be
strapped. And because capital for
the general identification is hard to
get.

TO START RIGHT.

1t is to be regretted that the move
ment to further the commission gov
eminent for Perth Amboy has to be
delayed, but it is better to wait until
it can be started right than to &c
of half cooked. II is wise to profit
by former Mistakes The main OBJ
ject this time is to convince the peo-
pie that there are no Interior motives
back of the movement; hat it is
started in good faith with the sole
object of ~benehting Perth Amboy.
There is not going to be any per-
sonal attacks as far as the EVE
MING NEWS is concerned, at least.
We believe that, on the whole, the
present city officials are doing the
best they can under the circum-
stances. They are handicapped by
the antiquated and cumbersome
form of government they have to
work with. Take the same men who
are now in the Board of Aldermen
and make them commissioners under
the Welsh act and we have not the
slightest doubt that city affairs
could be handled in far more salts
factory manner.
Commission government Is coming
for Perth Amboy. The start will be
mad every shortly. Be prepared TO
do your bit to put 1t across when it
does come.

TO STUDY THE RARITAN.

One cannot become too familiar
with the facts with which one must
deal in agitating any movement. The
idea Of a big waterway outing in this
vicinity on July Is is highly COM
mendable. While we are all anxious
to boom the Raritan bay and river,
many of us do not really appreciate
what a wonderful harbor we have.
The more frequently those who are
section get out on the water and
view the situation from the shippers
point of view the better. 1t is
especially desirable to have those
from the more inland towns go on
such an outing that they may be con-
WINGED of the advantages, even to
themselves, in having the Raritan
made a great terminal point.
If government officials car be in
.duced to accompany the local work.

the Raritan is kept before the fed
eral government the better T the

is only by constant agitation in
Washington that congress a be i'm
pressed with the facilities. For COM
'p~aratively little money the Raritan
can be made a great shipping point
all the way to New Brunswick.
1t is to be hoped that the outing
on July Is will be followed by a
great many more and that the Rari-
tan bay and river win be kept ca

Ripping Rhymes
LONELY EMMA

Emma Goldman's sad and lonely
as she treads a distant shore, and
she signs, "Ah me, if only l could
see the States once more!" In a
recent dismal letter she complained
of her distress, and her furrowed
cheeks grow wetter with her scald-
ing tears. I guess. By her friends
she seems forsaken, no one writes
to her, says she; and she eats her
bread and bacon, weeping, by a
weeping sea. BY the ocean wet and
clammy she sits down to sigh and
yearn. wishing that her Uncle Sam
my would permit her to return.
When she lived beneath his banner
she was boosting every crime, act
ing in a beastly manner, raising
thunder all the time. Absence makes
the heart grow fonder, as the dippy
poet raved, and old Emma, over
yonder, doubtless wishes she'd be-
haved. For this country is the
slickest that was eve out of doors.
and that person is the sickest who
is banished from its shores. And the
folks who grumble, grumble. at our
bulwarks every day, should get wise
and take a tumble to the things the
eXiles say.

WATCH CHAMP CLARK.

While today's indications seem to
point to William G.. McAdoo as the
most likely Democratic nominee at
the San Francisco convention. it
would be we'll to keep an eye on
Champ Clark. There hasn't been
much said about Clark so far, but it
must not be forgotten that he was
the choice of a majority of the
Democrats at the Baltimore con-
vention when Woodrow Wilson was
nominated for the first time. He
held his LEAD until Bryan threw his
support to Wilson.
Champ Clark is one of the most
probable dark horses. In a Demo-
cratic convention two-thirds of the
delegates are required to nominate
and there is hardly any likelihood of
any of the candidates receiving that
number of votes on the first ballot or
two. Should a deadlock ensue watch
out for Champ Clark.

Story Of Democratic
Conventions to Date
mae Conrention of 1of0
BY A. H.


The outcome of the Democratic
national convention of 1916 was a
foregone conclusion months before
/ the delegates assembled in st. Louis
on June IA. President Wilson was
in complete command of the situa-
ton. Ex-Governor Martin Glynn of
New York was temporary chairman.
The arrival of Secretary Of War
Baker as President Wilson's person
al representative-the night before
the convention-promptly establish
ed a harmony program: CD be-
cause Secretary Baker brought the
news that President Wilson desired
Vice President Marshall renominat-
ed; CD because Baker effectually
disposed of a vice presidential boom
which had been launched in his W
behalf. Baker also brought the
Presidents own draft of a proposed
platform; and everything was ready
for sure, swift and amicable action.
Governor Glynn's opening address
was a tremendous eulogy of Presi-
dent Wilson and his policy of main
tanning the United States in World
War neutrality. Senator James OF
Kentucky, as permanent chairman,
followed with an equally glowing
apostrophe TO Wilson's attitude In
foreign affairs. At the end of the
second day the track was cleared
for nominations, and President
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and
Vice President Thomas r. Marshall
of Indiana were both renominated
by reclamation. One roll call for
President gave Wilson 1892 votes
just one one delegate from Illinois
dissenting.
The only real convention contest
came over a woman suffrage plank
in the platform. A minority report
sought to declare suffrage purely Il
state issue: but 1t was voted down
SSSh to 1S1h after Senator Walsh
of Montana had told the conven-
ton that President Wilson himself
considered a straight national suf-
frage plank vital to party success.
Although Bryan was not officially
in attendance at the convention
having been defeated for delegate
in his home state-he was present
as a reporter in the press box. And
perhaps the most spectacular single
incident of the whole convention
was the insistence hat he be called
TO the platform to speak. These de-
mands interrupted the first days
proceedings so effectually that the
chairman had to promise Bryan
would be heard later. The evening
of the second day he was formally
invited by motion from the floor and
received a tremendous ovation.
The ultimate result of this GAM
paign was President Wilson's re-
election by a margin of one state.

proper development is assured.
The federal government can be
counted on to assist the moee readily
il the cities and towns directly
affected by the development show
proper interest and are willing to do
something for themselves. The first
thing. then, is to get familiar with
the subject. The subject in this case
is the Raritan hay and river. The
way to get familiar with 1t is to study
it. The way TO study it is to cruise
on 1t and investigate every bay. creek

is making the right start. In this
