Is it because there are so many L. S.
shipping board steamers blowing the
main" that we hear of so many mis-
haps to them or to their machinery
Or is there a possibility Of faulty con
struction of the ships and machinery
through various reasons, one of which
might, perhaps, be the haste with
which many of the ships were put to-
gether when the war was still at the
height of its fury? These are ques-
tons which suggest themselves TO the
minds of some people as they read the
accounts of the disasters and accidents

leans, relative to the changing of the
time of an early morning train into
Biloxi so that shipyard employees at
Pascagoula may travel back and forth
daily, Secretary BreauX of the Biloxi
chamber of commerce, was today mott
fed by the railroad officials that it
would be impossible to make the
change owing to the fact that it would
be discriminating against Pascagoula
in favor of Biloxi. The request was
made of the railroad officials as a re-
suit of petition presented to local Of
fcials and signed by 10 employees of
the international Shipbuilding Corpor-
alton residing in Biloxi and other

CAT BOAT RACE.

The third regular cat boat race was
held last Saturday afternoon around
beacons B and c.
Dick Moody, out for the first time
this year, literally galloped to the
finish several hundred yards in the
lead of H. H. Purdy, who finished
second.
There was a north wind most of the
time, however, it could not be called
more than breeze. The boats were
OFF to good even start at 1927 and
all held close together till about the
half way point on the first leg, and
then Moody gradually drew ahead.
The return was where Moody
showed his resourcefulness in so tack
ing and keeping close to shore that
his progress was not retarded by the
outgoing tide.

Lincoln Water Co. Decision

A decision has been rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission in the
case of Elmore c. House and others
VS.. the Lincoln Water Co. declaring
that the service rendered by the Lin
coin Water Co. is inadequate, in that
it has been and now is the duty and
obligation of the company to make
certain extensions to patrons desiring
the service. and that such extensions
have not been reasonably made.
The decision orders that the Lincoln
Water Co. forthwith and in any
event. not later than Nov. Is, 1920. on
West Broadway shall lay and put into
service from the end of the present
six inch main not less than $50 feet of
2-inch pipe, so that patrons desiring
service within that distance may re-
ceive the same under scheduled rates
and practices of the company; that
forthwith and in any event not later
than Nov. Is. 1920, the Lincoln Water
Co. shall lay upon Lake View Street
from the end of its present 6-inch
line not less than 500 feet of 6-inch
cast iron pipe, with an extension from
that point of 450 feet of Pinch pipe,

Sister Immaculate in charge. since
Oct. 10, 1919: assisted by five Sisters
of Mercy, laundress and two night
nurses. Capacity. IS cribs and 10
beds; present number, so.
The present building was built for a
private residence and makes a beauti-
full home for the children. The first
floor rooms are used as chapel, office.
refectory living room and kitchen.
The children sleep in four large cham
bers on the second floor and have play
rooms on the third floor and in the
basement. Bishop Walsh has had
built double piazza. which affords a
fine place for the children to get the
air. brick garage could be convert
ed into a hospital or isolation building.
The children's beds are now rather
close together and it would doubtless
promote the health and comfort of the
children to be distributed over one or
more rooms.

domestic animals within the meaning
of the law. Our court in a recent
case had held that the ordinary test
of a domestic animal is our knowl-
edge of it's habits derived from fact
and experience Thurston VS.. Carter

In an earlier case, it was stated
that it was not a question whether
any particular animals had become
domesticated, but whether as a class
they could be properly designated by

Maine, 562.
The hare cannot be regarded in
the light of our knowledge of its
habits as domesticated. His relation
ship to man is different from that of
sheep'or other similar animals ordi
narily referred to as domestic. His
natural state when not restrained by
physical means is that of wild ami

statute. which imposes stringent liza J.
bility upon towns, was designed to
have such a broad Interpretation"

Kidney Remedy for 40 Years
A Pronounced Success!

When kidney diseases have been
successfully treated for a period of
more than forty years, it is reason
able to assume that the remedy
therefore must possess unusual merit.
Such is the remarkable record of
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Remedy. Without it's ability to give
relief and benefit its users so that
they would continue its use, it could
not have existed 40 months, much
less 40 years of it's enviable record.
Many letters have come to us to
prove that it has been a household
remedy for years and years. Here is
what one grateful woman has recent
ly written:
II wish to say that your remedies
have been, used in our family for
fifteen years. We are never without
a bottle of Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Remedy in our home. and it has
saved many a doctors bill 1t is a

National Guard

Major VIM. c. Goodwin of the
Quartermaster's Department, Maine
National Guard. decided that there is
a great waste in the hats furnished
the Guard that might be overcome if
the proper blocks and suitable irons
for reblocking could be secured from
Washington. He accordingly COM
municated with the chief of the Mill
tia Bureau, asking if such equipment
could be supplied.
Answer was recently received to
the effect that the War Department
had no such equipment on hand and
did not consider it advisable to pro-
cure such equipment. But it does
come to the rescue in the following
paragraph so that the service hats of
the Maine Guard may be expected to
be kept hereafter in the very best
splc and span condition:
However, il is recommended that
unserviceable hats in the. possession
of National Guard organizations,
which are in such condition as to
warrant renovation, be reported to
the department concerned for repair
and renovation in one of the govern
ment operated hat repair shops which
are now in use"

WILL REPAIR DETOURS ON
PORTLAND.AUBURN ROAD

Governor Milliken stated Wednes-
day afternoon that reasonable
amount would be taken from the
contingent fund of the Governor and
Council to repair the detours on the
road between Lewiston and Auburn
and Portland.
Delegations from the Portland and
Auburn Chambers of Commerce ap-
peared before the Governor and
Council in the Senate Chamber
Wednesday forenoon to see what
could be done towards building this
road this year. ...
At the opening of the meeting
Chief Engineer Paul D. Sargent OF
the State Highway Commission said
that the commission did not feel
that it was authorized to expend
money for detour roads.
THE commission would be glad 70
provide for detour roads if it had the
money with which to do it," said Mr.
Sargent. 1T would take $1,000 for
a mile Of detour road to place the
road in such condition that the
public would not find fault"
The commission has felt that the
money should not be spent on de.
tours but in the construction OF
state highways. The. commission
believes that with $4,000 it could

where rumors are spread and reputa-
tions damaged, is the subject of Elaine
Hammersteins new starring vehicle
for Selznick pictures, Whispers,
which will be seen at the Colonial
theatre today only.
Miss Hammerstein in this produc-
ton portrays a girl who is the victim
of scandal, every innocent move she
makes being interpreted in a sinister
manner. Her mercenary aunt makes
life unpleasant for her by trying to
marry her off to a wealthy but unde-
sirable sutton. Scandal-mongers m
volve her in divorce proceeding with
which she has had nothing to do. and
newspaper reporters are camping on
her trail to run down the scandal.
Sickened and disguised. she runs
away from the scene of her indigni-
ties, and in a different city. under an
awning during rainstorm she meets
true romance, at last. But all is not
plain sailing yet-theres many a mo-
ment of misapprehension and suffering
before the last few feet of the last
reel shows the happiness and sunshine
that has come into the life of suffer-
ing soul.
