o'ed Monday morning at their home on
Miller street after two years illness with
necrosis OF the spine which later develop-
ca complications. Everything that sci
ence could suggest or devotion offer was
given, but she had learned life,s lesson
and had done her part. She had had the
best of surgical treatment and the untir-
ing and constant care of her sisters. An
Ideal housekeeper and home maker, bright
and sunny in disposition, yet serious
minded she got out of life all there was in
1t, her circumstances considered, While
enjoying the devotion of her family and
the friendship of many she never seemed
TO care for allied association and was a
member only of the st. Francis Guild con-
nected with her church. She was promi-
nent in its activities, reli .ble and demand
aoie and always cheerful in her assist
ance. She will be missed and mourped
by many outside of the family circles tn
which she was connected. She was born
IN Isiesboro, June 9. 1872, the daughter
OF James Watson and Bedelia Maria

POLLY MORAN IN "THE AFFAIRS;
OF ANATOL"

Polly Moran has an important role in
Cecil B. DeMille's new Paramount pro-
duction based upon Arthur Schnitzler's
play, 'The Affairs of Anatol," which will
be shown at the Colonial theatre soon.
No, the famous comedienne has not de-
serted comedy. Neither is the DeMilIe-
picture slap stick comedy.
The irresistible Polly is seen in the role
of a cabaret entertainer in an elaborate
cafe setting. At the head of corps of
dancers and as conductor of the orchestra
she adds a comedy note to this phase of
the story that surpasses her past record
for laugh provoking.
Polly Moran is known to hosts of theatre,
goers as "Shertf Nell" of Keystone fame.
and as one of the most versatile comedieD--
nes of the screen. Miss Moran appears,
IN association with Wallace Reid, Gloria,
Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe Daniels,
Wanda Hawley, Monte Blue, Theodore
Roberts and Agnes Ayers. Others in the
all-star cast are Theodore Kosloff, Kay

WILLIAM A. MASON

William Aver Mason died very suddenly
about five a. m. Thursday morning at his
home on Waldo avenue. He had been in
Ill health for several years with high blood
pressure and the enlargement of the heart,
but recently had been improving and the
evening before his death was in the best
of spirits. He attended a meeting of the
directors of the Waldo County Hospital
and was also at his office in the Armory
building and about town. He called his
sister telling her he was ill, but died be-
fore. his physician could reach him. He
was born in Montville, Jan. 19, 1867, the
son of Ward and Harriet Berry Mason,
and came to Belfast q years ago. Born
on farm and with the qualifications of
successful farmer he never cared for it
and early developed an instinct for trade
which he followed as long as he was able.
In 1885 he entered the Castine Normal
school with his sister, Miss Loula A. Ma
son, who survives him. Six months be-
fore his graduation his father died and he
was compelled to leave the school. In all
their life it was the only separation of
this brother and sister when she con-
tinued and graduated. Shortly after
coming to Belfast he clerked in the Ka-
lish clothing store, and later was street
commissioner. He had served the city
as overseer of the poor and at the time of
his death he was chairman of the Board
of Registration, a director of the Waldo
County Hospital, member of Phoenix
Lodge, F. & A. M, and of Primrose Chap
ter, o. E. S., and of Seaside Grange. In
1916, on account of i'll health, he retired
from the firm of Mason & Hall, the latter
VIM. H. Hall, after about II years of sue
cessful business in dealing in hardware.
At the death of Ruel W Rogers a few
years ago he bought out his insurance
business and had since conducted it in
the Hayford block. He was one of the
four owners, of Hayford block and in
recent years very close friendship had
resulted from this business association.
Once friend always friend with MI
Mason and he was genuine believer in
the brotherhood of man. His going is a
severe blow to his only and most devoted
sister and she has the sympathy of many
friends. For the past five years they
have spent winters in St. Petersburg,
Fla, and in all that time South only one
part of a day were they separated. Their
plans were made to 60 South this winter.
Only two evenings in the past year had
they been away from each other. The
funeral was held at his late home Sunday
at p. m. with Rev. William Vaughan
officiating. The floral tributes were many
and very beautiful. The bearers were
Messrs. VIM. H. and V. L. Hall, James
c. Durham and Ralph l.. Cooper. The
remains were placed in the receiving
tomb in Grove Cemetery.

MRS. CATHERINE w. O'LEARY.

Catherine Ward, widow of the late
Thomas O'Leary, died Friday at her home
on Mill Avenue after long illness when
she was given every care and attention
by her family, to whom she had always
been devoted mother. She was boru in
Ireland IT years ago, the daughter of Pat
rick and Bridget (Kane) Ward, but came
to this country with them when child
and had lived here about 60 years. Three
sons and daughter survive her, Thomas
of Oakland, Calf, John and William of
Belfast and Mrs. Julia Hogan OF Belfast.
A sister, Mrs. Sarah Fogarty of Roxbury,
Mass, also survives. The funeral was
held at the St. Francis church Monday at
10 a. m. with Rev. FIR. T. j, O'Mahoney

The sardine season is drawing to a
close, although fish can be legally packed
until Dec. ON the coast of Maine. 1t is
hardly probable, however, that many of
the factories will be open on that date, as
in addition to scarcity of fish at the
eastward the market outlook for the
canned product is none too favorable.

Manuel c. Teller. whose official title
in the Congressional Directory is sec
retary Of the Mexican embassy. Since
last year he has been in charge of
Mexico's affairs in the United States.
That Senor Teller is a diplomat who
is destined to achieve renown Is evil
denced by the fact that from the day
he was first placed in charge of Mexi-
cos affairs in Washington until the
present he has not only made many
friends for his government, but has
also been the moving spirit in bring
ing about a clearer understanding be-
tween the two countries. To accom-
plish this result has not been an easy
matter, because at all times there
have been business interests that were
quite willing to have our sister re-
public to the south in a state OF tur-
mol. Secretary Of State Hughes, I'm
dersecretary Of State Fletcher and
Senior Teller, however, have not been
discouraged in their attempts to bring
about a condition which would be sat
isfactory to the peoples Of both coun-
tries, and close students OF diplomatic
affairs have voiced the opinion that in
the near future complete friendly re-
lations will be established between
the two governments.
Senior Tellex was born in the capital
city Of the state Of Zacatecas, Mexico.
in 1885. He received his education in
the city Of Mexico. In 1905 he became
a member Of the stan of the depart
ment of foreign affairs. His first post
was secretary to the Mexican consul
Evening star., 1921-10-09

at San Antonio, Tex. in 1906, and he
was afterward transferred to several
posts, both in the consular and diplo-
matte services, in Canada, China and
Japan. At the beginning of last year
Senior Tellez was appointed first sec
retary Of the embassy in Washington
and a few months later took over the
duties Of charge d'affaires.
In discussing general conditions re-
Gently with the writer Senor Tellez
said:
at am convinced that without knowl-
edge there can be no sympathy and
real understanding, and, therefore.
during my years Of service my official
and pesronal aims have always been
to try to let my people and my coun-
try be better known and understood
by the people of the countries where
I have been posted. This has been,
Of late, here in the United States, a
most pleasant task. The gruesome
misconceptions which prevailed here
in regard to the Mexican people and
character up to some time ago-mis-
conceptions which were mainly due
to lack Of truthful and impartial in
lformation-very happily have been
largely corrected, and am very glad
to say that everywhere in this coun-
try. there is to be found a better feel
ing toward our people and country
and a greater interest to know and
understand them than ever before. I
have full data to establish this, but
let me mention only the two following
facts, which are the common prop

PRINTERS AND BINDERS
ON STRIKE FOR f4-HOUR
WEEK AT ALBUQUERQUE

The two largest commercial print
ing plants in Albuquerque clos d
Monday morning as a result OF de
mands OF workmen for a 44-hour
week and for wage increases affect
ing part of the men.
The plants closed are those Of the
Central Printing company and Al
bright & Anderson.
The job printers demanded the a.
hour week, with Saturday afternoons
off, with pay on the basis of 48 hours,
as at present.
Bookbnders demanded the A.
hour week and 81 increase in pay
Job printing pressmen demanded
the reduced working hours and in
creases of 81 and s. per week.
The employing printers were will
ing to grant the 44-hour week, on
the basis OF pay for "A hours. They
pointed out that a 44-hour week was
the equivalent OF 208 hours lost in
81 weeks, or 20 working days of s
hours This, they said, would mean
that they would be required to pay
for II months work when
they worked only II months. The
employing printers were unable to
meet this demand, they said, and
therefore closed the plants, effective
with the conclusion OF work on Sat
u days.
The Evening and Sunday Herald,

Central Printing company, is not al
