Mr.. Quimby then closed his talk
by describing the overcrowded con-
dition of the high school today. and
expressing the hope that the day will
soon come when the city can remedy
this condition and also see fit to
adopt the Junior High school system
that has been instrumental, wher-
ever tried, in interesting more prim-
airy school children in the advantages
of higher education.

John Nelson Talks Plainly
After being introduced as 1.-THE
Hero of Poland" Attorney John T..
Nelson rose and said that the atti-
tude of the Augusta Rotarians to-
wards the recent New England con-
clave at Poland Springs reminded
him of the caustic old gentleman,
who when asked if he was to at
tend the funeral of the village pest,
replied, mo, but I'm in favor of it,
Mr.. Nelson then went on. and with
out mincing matters raked the club
over the Goals for the undeniably
poor showing that they made at Po-
land Springs. His fellow Rotarians
recognized the justice of his criti-
cism, and were generous In their ap-
plause at the end of his talk.

President Newbert named the fol

they may go to the laundry and not be

At the same time many of the cotton
fabrics pass out OF the washable class
because OF their trimming. Woollen
embroidery, simple and inexpensive
though it may be, at once puts a cotton
frock in the class with luxuries be-
cause it keeps it forever from the wash
tub. Its upkeep must cost as much as
that of the silk or woollen frock that
goes to the cleaner.
Much of the organdie frilling or ruff

think of trimming of warm weather
