BENZ. F. Moran Pardon Case
Governor Milliken announced that

F. Moran of Rowland, serving a SEN

slaughter, had been withdrawn, as
| Moran was now eligible for parole
! and would take advantage of that.
| Appealed State Aid Cases
|. Percy L. Aiken Of Bangor present.
| ed the cases Of three Sorrento fani-
! lies, from whom the State aid for de-
| pendents Of sailors had been sus-
| pended by the selectmen of that town
| and from which decision they now
| appealed. Mr.. Aiken stated that aid
| for the period only from April z,
| 1919 to the present would be asked,
! as he understood well that the pres
ent Governor and Council only had
| jurisdiction over that period. The
| families had received the aid for the
| first year of the war and nothing
| since.
The families are Mrs. Marguerite
| Hanna, wife of Pearl Hanna, who
| served as chief petty officer in the
| navy from April z, 1917 to July 3,
| 1919; Mrs Vivian Nash, wife of John
| L. Nash, who served as carpenters
! mate in the navy from April Z, 1917
| until Sept. 20, 1919: and Mrs Laura
| Z. Sargent, wife of Wellington Sar-
I gent, who served as chief signal man
| in the navy from April 7, 1917 to
| Sept. 4, 1919.
| Mr.. Aiken said he was familiar
| with the cases. which had before been
| presented to this body, particularly
| in the Nash case as Mrs. Nash was a
| half sister and he was knowing as to
| her circumstances. He said the 81
! per week State aid had been paid
| throughout the first year, then ceased
and that after that the families were
! deprived of many of the things to
| which they had been accustomed and
| in some ways suffered from the lack
Of funds. He thought the Legisla-
| ture had intended that all dependents
! of soldiers, sailors and marines
| should be entitled to the aid and
while he did not expect people of
! means to accept it. it was fully in
| tended that the worthy and needy
persons should have it.
In the case of his sister. she had
| had to mortgage some life insura nee

Do You Know Hudson
Builds the Essex?

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to a class field that was
unknown.
The former owners of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have
come from other cars, cars that fall
short of the Super-Six in all particulars
save size and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be-
cause of its nimbleness. They like the
way its performance compares with that
of the Super Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars in any COM
munity that are most prominent because
of their performance ability are the
Hudson Super-Six and the Essex.

TREE PLANTING BY ROADSIDE
Shade Is Great Help in Keeping Pave
ment in Prime Condition 80,
Beauty 10 Added. q,

There Is "A newly discovered benefit
In tree planting by the roadside. 1t
has been learned of late that the
shade or partial shade of roadside
trees is r great aid In keeping the
pavement in prime condition. The au-
ihorities tell us that during the hot
days OF summer improved roadbeds are
injured by the direct rays of the sun
and that the partial shade Of trees
planted by the roadside enables the
cement or other pavements to stand
much longer unimpaired. Roadside
trees will far more than pay for them
selves by assisting in preserving good
roads. Then there is the beauty of
shade trees, and II fruit trees are
planted think OF the abundance of
peach, plum, pear. cherry, apple and
other fruit rec growing by he road
side which in the aggregate would
amount to millions of dollars IL gen
orally planted through the fruit grow
ing sections of the United States.

ROADS STAND TRUCK TRAVEL
Comprehensive Experiments and Tests
Now Being Made by Bureau
Of Public Roads.

State highway departments are vi.
tally interested in the successful put
come Of comprehensive experiments
and tests now being made by the bu-
reau of public roads Of the United
States department of agriculture. One
state engineer recently declared that
millions of dollars in his state are in
'olved in the proper design of road
surfaces. which make up one of the
problems being investigated by the
federal engineers.
The coming into general use of the
heavy motor truck has practically rev
olutionized the science of road build
ing. Big new problems came when
loads weighing 10 to 10 tons took the
place of vehicles that placed a weight
of o%ne-fOurth as much or less. The
roads built ten years ago were on
structed before this fact could be real
