Improved Airplane

The newest idea for airpIane wheels
is to mount upon the periphery Of
each wheel a number of little wheels.
lis arrangement says the Popular
Science Monthly, helps to retard the
forward motion of the flying machine
on making a lcnding. The little
wheels brought successfully into po-
sition by the force of impact, tend TO
check the plane and bring ii to a
quick and smooth stop.

Will Straighten Out
Some Of Crooked
Streets of Boston

Boston, Sept. 1S-A street develop
ment plan which has been many
years in the making and which stu
dents of real estate values and of
the geographical trend Of the city's
business believe will have mo-
mentous effect upon the future of
Boston is about to come to fruition.
Final orders were signed early this
month and work will be begun be-
fore the end of the year
BY the widening of Eliot street
and the widening and extension of
Stuart street new broad thorough
fare will be created, running from
the heart of the theatrical district
and the edge of the downtown bust
ness district at Eliot and fremont
streets to point on Huntington
avenue midway between the Public
Library at Copley Square and the
Mechanics Building. in the Back Bay
district More than hundred build
ings will be destroyed or partly torn
down, including theater and two
apartment houses.
The new street will provide direct
link between the Back Bay residential
section and the retail, wholesale and
financial districts in the heart Of the
city. 1t is anticipated that it will
greatly relieve the congestion in
traffic on the older routes along the
borders of the Common and the Pub
lie Garden.
One of the main purposes is to offer
opportunities for business expansion
in what the street commissioners be-
lieve to be the logical direction. For
more than 20 years, since the destruc-
ton of the old Boston and Proyi-
dence Railroad station in Park
Square and the switching of railroad
traffic from that part of the city to
the South Station. large tract of
land where the tracks formerly ran
has lain for the most part vacant.
The extension of Arlington street a
few years ago opened up part of this
property and a few large buildings
were erected. Development of the
remainder has awaited more adj
street connections with
the rest of the city.

missioners say. ought to mean the

The Picking Union Medical college
has been I'M process of erection and
construction since 1915. IT is the
chief agency through which the

the Union Medical College, which was
founded by the joint effort of six Brit

The purpose of the China Medical
Board is TO make the college a rallying

nd Public Health hearing, and E,

ond Public Health hearing, and 1T
the hearing on Censorship of Moving
Pictures. Mrs. Mabel Thorn 33on,
of Augusta, did valuable service in
arranging for the appearance of
members of your committee, and
other women, at many legislative
hearings.
Other bills and subjects to which
we gave our support, were a reso-
luton for the Maine Medical school,
the full amount recommended by
the Budget Committee for the sup
port and new construction at the
school for Feeble Minded, the bills
recommended by the State Super
intendent of Schools, the bill raising
the Age of Consent, and we used our
influence in opposition to the SO call
cd Standardized Milk Bill.
AS we all remember, Economy
was the key note of the last Legisla
ture. and the economy note was so
continuously struck by our Cover
nor that the consideration of many
projects which we entirely recon-
rnended by the Budget Committee
was lowered a meager half mill.
The women of Maine are insistent
that their loved State shall rank ia
vorabiy with other states in proper
ton to their capita wealth in human
itarian and reform projects, which
the times call fer, and beg to submit
that in our opinion the State is not
bankrupt, and its people are not par
simonious
Your committee did not work on
the resolution introduced by Mr..
Baxter, then president of the Senate,
to amend the constitution, so that
the State could take over water pow
ers, and tax present owners of mills
upon streams which the State should
improve, because we felt we had not
information enough upon the subject
to intelligently discuss it. Such a
broad and important subject, a sub
ject so vital to the interests of our
State, requires much thought and
study. Many of our members feel
that the vote of the Maine Fedora
ton, taken last February, in I'M
qualified favor of State control of
Maine water powers. puts the women
in Maine in a position too hurriediy
taken. Previous to listening to the
arguments given on the Water Pow
err resolution above referred to in the
present Legislature, the chairman,
with others, was in favor of State
ownership, believing that such was
the best course to secure for Maine
people the benefits of the power
within our borders; but, after hear
ing the arguments and reading the
opinions of the best informed men.
the conviction is growing that State
ownership is entirely inadvisable,
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-09-19

and State control not the most wise
ly chosen policy, when the growth
and development of our State and it's
population is considered, and, last
but not least, when the ability of the
State to pay is wisely weighed.
AS the result of experience, and
the knowledge gained from such in
formation as is at hand, your COM
mittee recommend to our women to
make "a thorough study of the sub
ject of public ownership and control
of water powers, along with the
many other civic and business prob
lens, whose successful solution will
advance the interests of our people,
and an expenditure in which, if not
successful, would plunge the State
into debt
To women it is given to make poll
tics clean and wholesome Our
vote. and our influence rightly used
and extended, will purge political
life of the dregs with which it is
claimed to be polluted. Probably
each of us has heard or seen COM
ments on the effect of our entrance
into politics, and your chairman
cites an incident in a spring election
in a certain city eof Maine wherein
the candidate of one party was hope
lesSly defeated because widely known
to be unfit. Why he was nominated.
with his unfitness acknowledged, is
puzzling, for one of the political
bosses of that city, in commenting
on the election, Dive have got
to put up clean men now that the
women have the vote" and so, sis
tiers, in our voting. in our influence
for good laws to govern our towns
and State, and in our opposition to
measures which we consider unwise,
let lis be wise as serpents and harm
less as doves, studying carefully and
widely all sides of the questions that
confornt U.s.
Let us not be carried aIoft on any
visinoary idealistic theories. but let
us get down to the practical. bust
ness side of matters, and when we
have looked them squarely in the
face. let us go resolutely forward. to
do our best. trusting in the guiding
grace of the Inspirer of all govern
ments. who ruleth all things well.
