a government building and overheard
the conversation of several girl en-
ployees who were laid off for the day
so they could attend matinee at
one of the theatres because there was
no work for them to do. The case
was cited in the House and evidently

ACTION NEEDED ON THE
ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL

So far all has been talk as to the
different honors proposed in Con-
gress to the memory of Roosevelt.
Concrete action has not been taken
on any of them and no one comes
forth with the reasons why. Like
many bills in Congress they are rest
ing in committee. zone bill proposed
to make Roosevelt's birthday nat
ional holiday. Then came the meas
ure to erect shrine to his memory
in the form of national monument
to be located near the Washington
monument and the Lincoln memorial.
Later the proposal was made to place
his portrait on postage stamp, and
now comes Senator Mclean of Con-
necticut with a bill for the coinage
of a two-cent piece with Roosevelt's
picture on it. Probably the first
real tribute made the great man
by the government which he served
so well and faithfully will be the

authority of Congress, the right to
do so being vested in the Secretary OF

About fifty pupils of the Belfast High
school, accompanied by their teachers
and a number of friends went to Castine
last Friday evening with the basketball
team on the steamer Golden Rod. An in
teresting game was played in Memorial
hall, when the B. H. S. boys lost to the
Normal school team in a score of II to
40. Hillard Buzzell played strong and
fine game, holding his opponent down to
one basket. There were four ten-minute
periods with N S. Donahue of Belfast
umpiring.
THE WAGNERIAN CONCERT Co. The
closing concert in. the entertainment
course given under the direction of Mr..
and Mrs Charles Bradbury, was heard at
the Colonial Theatre Wednesday evening,
April 7th, by large and delighted audi
ence. The Howard Company had been
announced but were unable to appear and
the following genuine artists were sub
stituted: Jules Osma, director and pian-
list; Billy Stoess, list violinist; Harold
Arlington, 'cellist; Ed Adelman, manager
and violinist; Miss Augusta Cooper, COL
oratura soprano. Messrs. Osma and Adel-
man were here last summer with the
Community Chautauqua in the Russian
string quartet and it is sincerely hoped
they may appear here often. The former
is Spaniard but was educated in France.
He is a wonderful accompanist and won
the admiration of all in his wonderful
rendition of the 18th Hungarian rhapsody
by List. Stoess, the first violinist, gave
rare pleasure with his solo work and very
graciously responded to several encores.
Miss Cooper is an American born Russian
and very fine vocalist. While her Eng
fish is excellent she was heard to good
advantage in the selection from Madam
Butterfly in the original Italian. She has
a beautiful voice, cultivated and under
perfect control. Her personality was also
pleasing. Rarely if ever has visiting
artist received such an ovation as was
accorded the 'cellist, Harold Arlington of
Boston. He is only 10 years old and
seems even younger. He won the love
Of all for his simplicity and naturalness
and before he had played a note of his
wonderful solo was greeted with a storm
of applause. He was twice recalled and
each time left his hearers spell-bound
with love and admiration. The program:
