Chambers Charm
Retained in The

All the rare charm OF Robert ".
Chambers as romantic novelist is
retained in the screen version of
The Restless Sex" which will be
seen for the last times at the Au-
susta Opera house today. Because
OF the holiday. the regular evening
prices will be charged at the matinee.
The Restless Seq yesterday
proved one Of the most unusual plays

Chambers popularity as a writer of
brilliant society stories are again
demonstrated in this production.
Marion Davies as the star adds to
the worth OF the whole while the

make the drama unusually pleasing.
Ralph kellard and Carlyle Blackwell

Samoan Tapa Cloth Souvenir
Presented to Gov. Milliken

Governor Milliken IS now the proud
possessor o. tap2.
No, It isn't an animal lor = bird nor
a lots OF other things.
It is a piece of Samoan cloth of suci.
quality that when q man has l"t
Of capas he is regarded as We'll
blessed with worldly goods.
The tapa that Names Chief Excel
tive now possesses was presented to
him by Lieut. Commander Arthur -
Garcelon, Jr.. brother Of State Sena-
tor Donald D. Garcelon of Auburn.
Lieut. Commander Garcelon has just
returned from the South Sea Islands
where he was stationed as yard cap
tain at SAMOA The tapa was given
him by a Samoan chief and he has
in turn presented it to Governor Mil
iken as a Christmas offering.
II is very probable that Governor
Milliken will be extremely well re
membered With presents. but nothing
will stand higher in his estimation
than this tapa.
This is made by the women Of
Samoa said Lieut.. Commander Car
celon in explaining his gift to Gov
error Milliken in the latter's Office.
They gather the inner part Of the
paper mulberry tree and cut it into
strips about inches long and >
inches wide. The women lay these
on pieces of coral under water and
then pound and pound until the null
berry pulp has been spread out thin
and resembles piece of paper. There
seems to be a starchy substance to it
so that when dry it is firm, smooth
and tough.
after the cloth has been made. the
women chew up nuts OF several trees
for dye and then with dies cut from
blocks much like our old wood cuts
they stamp the cloth.
Before the Americans went 10
Samoa, money was unknown there.
person was reckoned by the number
OF tapas he had. If a man wished to
take unto himself wife, the father
of the bride demanded that the groom
show certain number Of tapas.
Tapas are not used actively in ex-
change as we would think of money.
but are stored up and used as gifts
for the most part. Among some Of
the islands in the Pacific, because OF
the inroads made by cotton cloth and
other products of civilization. the art
Of tapa making is rapidly being lost"

Trials and TribulatiOns of
Soldiers Bonus Board

The Soldiers Bonus machinery is
working as smoothly as human hands
and minds can work and the thou
sands of applications from the Maine
soldiers, sailors and marines are be-
ing given the very quickest attention
that can possibly be done by the
scores Of clerks in the adjutant gen.
erals office. The average number of
papers now passed upon a day is
nearly 400, last weeks output of
certified claims being 1922. The job
was bigger than was expected-the
amount of work in each case is enor-
nous. but the entire office force is de-
voting every possible moment to it
and all the boys will receive their
checks in time. although some may be
disappointed by not receiving them as
soon as was at first thought could be
done.
Possibly YOU can imagine some of
the "jolts" the adjutant generals Of
flee is receiving in handling the SOL
diers' Bonus business and attempting
to get the bonus check to every man
at the earliest possible moment. when
you note that some Of the applica =
tons for blanks and the formal filled
in blanks themselves are received in
such wretched condition as to COM
pleteness of answers, names, dates,
lesibility. failure to make oath, and a
few other odds and ends as to require
repeated letters asking for further in
formation sent to hundreds Of the
boys
1t is a fact. One applicant for the
800 bonus refused point blank to
make oath to his papers, saying that
the department knew he was a Maine
man and that was enough. Many of
them fail to enclose their original4dis-
charge. which is absolutely necessary
to secure The bonus. So many fail
ures of different kinds to properly fill
out the very simple and easily under
stood blanks, that the following let
tiers are being sent by the hundreds:

State of Maine Bonus il Is necessary
