Ruth looked up suddenly, white

Tells of Work at State
Boys School
Discusses in Interesting Manner the
Problems and How They Are
Solved at That Maine institution
Action Deferred on Report of Y. M.
c. A. Commttee-LiveIy Session

The influences for good which sur
round the boys at the State School for
Boys at South Portland and the edu-
cational and moral training which the
young men receive there were de-
scribed in detail in a splendid address
given by Charles Dunn, superintendent
of the school, at the regular meeting
of the Augusta Rotary Club held on
Friday evening at the Augusta House
A very interesting insight into the
life of the school together with shining
examples of what such training can
produce were most interesting features
of Mr.. Dunns discourse, which was
greatly appreciated and enjoyed by this
large attendance of Rotarians and
guests.
The session was presided over by
Hon. Elmer Il. Newbert, president Of
the club. Members and guests Joined
with enthusiasm in the singing of the
club songs under the able leadership
of J. Francis MacNichol. musica, direc-

of the principles of Christianity to
public questions was also pointed
out. Thus said the speaker, when en-
croachments upon the proper obser-
vance Of the Sabbath Day are notlc-
ed, the minister and others interested
can secure public disapproval OF such
practices throuh the medium OF the
organized class. AS the pool room
menace gains in power this body OF
men, standing for high ideals, can
take action that will eliminate the
evil In the class itself man will
be taught to ascertain his moral duty
in all public questions and will have
the council of men of like purpose
and ideals as he himself possesses.
At the close of this address about
twenty men enrolled for the class.
Mr.. Nelson was then introduced
and gave a most instructive address
on the issues involved in the present
attempt to limit ornaments. Back
ing up his statements by statistics ne
showed the position of France with
her large standing army and her
eternal and traditional fear of war
of England with his need for suprem-
acy on the high seas, and of Japan
with her need of room for expansion.

with it, Elmer Schlesinger, general
counsel of the board declared in a
formal statement today. What steps
would be taken, now that Morse has
been stopped at Havre, Mr.. Schles-
niger added, would depend on future
developments, ''inasmuch as the mat
ter is now in controversy
The statement follows:
"For the United States Shipping
Board legal department, | have been
conducting an investigation during
the past four months through Mr..
Fletcher Dobyns into the transac-
tons of Mr.. Charles Morse and the
shipping board. To our positive in
formation, Mr.. Morse, learning of our
Investigations, fed the country. The
shipping board, therefore, with the
cooperation of the Attorney General
and the department of state, has TAX
en- such steps and premises as were
necessary in their opinion to secure
the return Of Mr.. Charles w. Morse
to this country. With the assistance
of the Attorney General and the state
department.. Mr.. Morse has been
stopped at Havre. France. What the
next proceeding will be will depend
entirely on future developments. IN
asmuch as the matter is now in con-
troversy, I cannot make any addi-
tional statement"

"Athletic" Social At
Penney Memorial Church
Very Enjoyable Affair

The Christian EndeavoE of the Pen
ney Memorial church held an informal
social in the church vestry Friday eve
ming at which many members and in
vited guests were present. This social
was called an "Athletic" social. Each
guest on entering was provided with
a tag bearing the name of one of our
Maine colleges. They then found seats
at the side of the room which was re-
served for the members" of each col
lege and elected a leader. This leader
appointed the member who would rep
resent that particular group in each
contest. There were also cheer lead
ers and everything was conducted as
in college track meet.
The program included the 40-yard
dash, 100-yard dash, shot put, mile run,
running broad grin. pole vault, golf,
hurdle race. discus throw ard relay
race. These names, however, do moi
indicate the nature of the contest and
that added to the merriment as the
contestants did not know, when they
were elected, what the nature of the
contest was. For instance, the shot
put was done just as it is performed
at the college meets, but instead of 2
heavy shot, the one used was a paper
bag, blown up.
After the games, refreshments were
served. The committee in charge OF
this entertainment was composed Of
p. L. Benner chairman. BeulaH Stiles,
Cecil Stiles, Elizabeth Harris and
Charles Porter.

The above photograph is that Of Hal
lowell's regular police force Of IS
years ago, in the days when police pro-
lection was a necessity and the city
enjoyed greater business prosperity
than it does at the present time. Those
were the days when there were two
large oilcloth mills and a cotton mill
operating with a crew aggregating
several hundred men besides n goodly
number of women, also the days when
the granite industry was in its glory
employing at times as many as 500
cutters at the sheds in the city with
$50 or 800 more at Granite Hill. Then
there was the saw mill of Elias MILF
ken at the foot of Wharf hill and at
certain seasons of the year a large
nurcor of rivermen made their head
quarters in the city. Things did not al
