n. Y. Health Dept.
Threatens 10 Take
Over Milk Distribution

New York, Nov. Unless New
York's mi k distribution is restored to
fifty per cent. of normal by Saturday,
the entire industry will be taken over
by the department of health This
warning was given by Health Com
missioner Copeland today after he
had failed again to induce the heads
of a score of milk distributing ocm-
panies to arbitrate the differences in
volved in the milk drivers strike
which. for the last three days has
brought inconvenience to the metro
politan population.
The city normally consumes two
million quarts of milk daily, he said,
while only four hundred thousand
quarts were received this morning.
Barious womens organizations took
steps today to organize truck drir-
ing corps should the crisis become
acute. Colonel Helen Bastcdo who
organized the Motor Corps of Amer
lea early in the war. said she felt
sure that the women who served I'M
der her would gladly do so again to
help relieve the suffering among chill
dren in the tenement houses. She
added that at least two score drivers
could be modified in a few hours
ready to deliver milk anywhere at
any time.
The police reported several minor
disorders during the day all of which
were quelled quickly. Four men
charged with having attacked the
driver of a milk wagon were sentcnc-
ed to 20 days imprisonment. The
magistrate warned that strike SYM
pathizers who resorted to violence
would be punished as severely as the
statutes allowed.

COLBY COLLEGE
CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
CRIPPLED IN MEET

Today the Colby cross country
team will journey 10 Orono to COM
pete against the rest of the college
teams III the State. Coach Mike
Ryan has had the men on the track
and in the field for the past month
and up to q few weeks agohad a team
that looked very good. But injuries
have set them back a step or two
The team will be weakened by the
loss of Harvey, who comes from
Winthrop, Mass, with quite a. repu-
tation, who spraincd his ankle at the
beginning of the season, Costly was
obliged to leave college little later,
and it is not known whether Paine
will be able TO run or not. He. pulled
u ligamcnt i'll his leg last week and
although it seems to be gaining In
strength, Coach Ryan does not want
to injure him for the rest of the
year. Paine is the most promising
long distance runner that Maine has
turned out for a great many years.
Costly is probably a better man than
Mercer and Harvey has a wonderful
future ahead of him on the track
These men will make q great change
in the outcome of the run. Colby has
lost the very best of her hopes. Be-
sides these men, Percy Lovly is also
gone. LoVly fifth man on the squad
Sprained his ankle yesterday and will
not be able to run today and it is
doubtful if he will run again this
year.
The cross country team will leave
for Orono at 10 this morning and
the race will start at 3 this after
noon. The men who will make the
trip are Capt. Elmer l.. Williams 80
Brewer, Me; Allen Mercer 80. White
Plains. n. "; Leonard NJ. Mayo 30
New Gloucester. Me-; Herbert A.
Perkins 80, Waltham. Mass Will
liam Wallace I'D, Penacook, n. H.;
John A. Barnes 81. Houlton, Me.
This is by all means not the team
that Coach Ryan expected to turn
out at the beginning of the season,
but the men are in the best of con-
dition and if confidence and dctcrmi-
nation count for anything, Colby will
show, all, and probably more than
is expected from her.

most of the present city government
Will not stand for another term.
NIayor Robinson has firmly stated to
his friends that he will not stand for
reelection. Among the prospective
candidates for mayor. the name of
CITY Clerk j. NIanley Patterson
stands as a genuine possibility ana
his candidacy is being urged by
many Of his friends among the young
people Also, the name of Charles
X. Tilden, the city's representative
at the last sessions of the state
Legislature has been mentioned and
his candidacy would be most vel
coined if he should decide to run.
The Democrats so far seem to have
but only one prospective candidate.
that being Nathan ii. Bridges from
Ward s. member of the present
city government. Mr.. Bridges has
made good and his candidacy would
get whole lot of su4nprt from that
party.
Candidates for city marshal APP
PEAR to be most numerous; if reports
are true. there are no less than five
candidates on the Republican side
Of the question. George A Cole
stands out as a likely man also the
name OF William Fish. one of the
present night watch, seems available.
Another rumor has it that William
F'itzsimmons will seek the Office,
while Albert Tallouse, a former po-
lice officer. is somewhat talked of,
and there are other likely candidates.
The Democrats appear to be waiting
| to know the decision of the present
marshal Mr.. Bacon, whether or not
he wants to run before they make
any talk. Should he want to be a
candidate it is thought that he will
be unopposed in their caucus. as he
still remains quite popular and has a
large following.
For street commissioner. Wallace
r. Brunn seems to have it all his
own way with the Republicans. He
has served for two years and given
quite general satisfaction, although
one other name has been mentioned
in connection with this office as q
possibility. but it is a safe bet that
he would be unopposed in caucus.
The Democrats appear to desire the
nomination of Samuel Cottle as their
candidate, who would in all prob
ability be their choice.
The matter of the aldermen will
simply be n matter of get who you
can that will stand for both parties.
No names have been mentioned for
these jobs and judging from all APP
pearances it will be some game to
get candidates, as has been the case
for several elections past
The real outcome. however. Is
problematical. 1t may he brought
about that combination of the two
parties will be agected. while some
doubt exists at the present time. The
women's vote may affect this deci-
sion more or less this year and it is
possible that the next city govern
mcnt may have a number of women
members sitting at it's sessions.

Kathleen" Again
Pleases Augusta

Spontaneous combustion" caused
, an uproar at the Augusta Opera
House last night. Generally that
phrase is used TO describe a fire
when the origin can't be determined
the reception that kathleen" the
musical comedy given by the Angus
ia Girls Community Cub, was ac-
corded on the second night of its
presentation.
OF course the whole performance
went more smoothly than it did on
the opening night: that was TO be
expected. But the spontaneity Of
everything: the quick response to
the really good Jokes that flashed
over the footlights; the snap given
the dances by the attractively gown
ed girls: the whole heartedness with
which every member of the company
got into his or her part, all proved
that the show was Just what the
doctor ordered.
How good the members OF the COM
pany demonstrated themselves to be
was told in yesterdays Journal. But
they were even better last evening.
Ruth Henderson. Gladys Madore,
Phil Sylvester. Ralph Brown, Doro-
thy Gray, Spofford Giddings. Sam
Mccall, Ludger Vermette and Eldon
Gray fairly outdid themselves. Miss
henderson was the recipient of two
bouquets; one floral and the other
vegetable.
And then the girls in the chorus
all of them were there" as they say
in real professional companies.
But the best thing of all about the
whole production is this; one
simply forgot it was an amateur pre-
sentation and sat back in his seat or
leaned forward as the occasion de
manded and enjoyed it-gave him
self up TO the good things being
served him and felt mighty glad that
he was there.
For days the people Of Augusta

they set out to do: they scored hit.

prepared and presented in less than
month is the best tribute of all
to those who had charge of the af
fair
