AND MAY THE BEST WIN

While there is deepening impress
sion that the minds of the pupils of
our schools are being Uttered with
externals instead of being devoted to
essentials. excellence in English COM
position and comprehension of facil-
tiles for thrift surely belong among
the essentials. This being so, it is
easy to account for the approval
among educators of the essay con-
test arranged by the Maine Under
writer's Association for the Insurance
Day program of National Thrift
Week. On this day, Jan 10, an hour
of the morning session of the schools
will be devoted to writing impromptu
compositions on a theme given out at
the beginning Of the contest.
Before entering this contest the pu
pills will have been afforded an oppor-
tunity by means of syllabus of the
fundamentals of life insurance to, OBJ
tain a comprehensive idea Of the sub
ject. but of course canAot know what
the theme will be until the beginning
of the contest. Former successful
educators, Glen w. Starkey and
George S. Ellis, who are now engaged
in life insurance work, have so sys-
tematized the preliminaries and
methods Of this contest as to assure
the most for the least interference
with regular school work, also a fair
field and no favors to the contestants.
May the best school win. The plan
had its origin in Maine and il very
creditable to those who formulated it.
Thu life insurance agents, many Of
whom did such excellent work in the
war activities. are freely giving their
services to this undertaking,

She Says:

The young working man married.
Now y. w. m. who marries has a
boost at once in his hopes. So he
went to his boss and asked If his boss
was going to give him more money
because he had married. The boss told
him that there would be no raise in
his pay. That made the y. w. m. feel
rather out Of sorts with his boss.
There was an ut-of town job that
looked good to him. But he decided
to wait another week. On the very
next pay day after the return from
the honeymoon, along with his pay
envelope he received bank book
with already a good amount deposit
ed to his credit. Then his boss in
formed him that while there would
be no immediate raise in the young
mans pay, that that amount would
be deposited to his credit each week.
A nice little nest egg for an Augusta
business man to give his employe.
The policeman who stands at the
corner and beckons for this one to
GENE on and that one to wait min
ute, knows a thing or two besides

PERTAINING TO AVIATION

There are some who urge that the
Conference take steps to prohibit the
use Of warships Of the air and claim
that it will be useless to scrap the
battleships unless this is done. It
would seem those people would do
well to give the matter further con-
sideration before indulging in crit
1cism.
For purposes Of offense. for invad-
ing and obtaining a foothold in an
other country. no feet of the air in
the immediate future can compare
with the formidable fleet of the ocean.
The airships with modern explosives
and poison gases might inf1ict terrible
damage, indeed could do this in their
present state of development. They
are a factor in possible warfare not
to be overlooked and no effort should
be spared to restrict their use for
such a purpose. It may be doubted,
however, whether the critics could
formulate a practical plan for doing
this. Let them try before they crit
icize.
Few II any will take exceptions to
the Presidents recognition of the fact
that aviation is destined to great i'm
provement in the immediate future,
that its application to the uses of
commerce is yet in it's infancy, that
nothing should be done to hamper
that; rather it should be encouraged
as the United States is most back
ward in this of all the leading ma
tons. Nor will they care to dispute
the evident fact that commercial air.
ships and planes may easily be con-
verted to war uses.
These self-evident truths being ad-
mitted there remains little that the
Conference may do except to restrict
the building and use of airplanes for
warlike purposes, and this would be
of comparatively little effect, though
something may be accomplished. 1t is
said the Conference. is trying to do
this but even if it fails the failure
should not be regarded as impairing
its work or as making the future of
peace altogether gloomy. One thing
is evident, and that is this country
through it's government or by COOPER
alton among it's business interests
should encourage the development of
aviation. When that is done there
may, and probably will be, developed
some practical method of supervision.

WOMlH'S HUSBAND

At HER CONDITION
Bath Resident Was Going Down Hill
Every Day-ls Now Like New Per-
son

"Tanlac lived up to its reputation
in my case and feel like a different
person now" said Mrs. Eugene Per-
kins. 40 Washington ST., Bath. Me.
"A few weeks ago was in such a
wretched condition that my husband
was very much alarmed about me. I
realized that I was going down hill
every day and just lived in dread of
what the future might hold for me.
1 had the worst sort of stomach trou-
BILE and was so nervous was restless

body ached too.

then go about my housework with a

been blessing to me-"

Mixed Juries

(San Francisco Chronicle)
Should we have mixed juries ir
criminal cases? Are the ends OF
justice best served through this sys-
TEN?
Can women safely be subjected to
long continued mental and physical
strains?
These are few of the pertinent
questions engendered as a result OF
the outcome of celebrated criminal
case a few days ago.
August Fritze, forman of the Jury
in the case cited, says:
Il believe it Is folly ever to have
women and men on the same jury, as
there is no justice for the people, the
defendant in any case, or the jury"
Mrs. Helen NJ. Hubbard, a member
Of the jury who stood out against all
but one of her fellow jurors, says:
There is no place for a woman
on jury. Any woman is a fool ever
to get. on one If she can possibly get
out of serving. I had rather die
than go through 1t again.
The queries have brought forth
widely divergent answers. Sex does
not mark the point of cleavage of
opinion.
Reasons advanced assume no SUI
periority Of one sex as compared with
the other. Virtually all, however, do
assume profound differences.
It Is urged that the mental process
ses Of the manly man and the wom-
anly woman so materially differ
as to render probability of reaching
a common conclusion slight.
Irrespective of relative merits of
conflicting contentious, one truth
stands out prominent and incontro-
vertible. In the case to which refer
ence has been made the jury was
subjected to indignities which could
not have failed to affront any wom-
an.
Certainly woman's mind and
body are less well equipped to with
stand strains to which they are put
in cases of this character.

TO PREVENT UNEMPLOYMENT

A circular letter describing results
already obtained in consequence of the
nation wide movement inspired at
the Presidents Conference on Unem-
ployment contains the information
that Minnesota has already put into
effect a winter highway program.
While it is evident that parts of
highway work cannot be successfully
performed in a cold climate during
the winter months it has been found
in Canada that certain kinds OF con-
struction are practical. These in
clude rock crushing and distribution
on sleds, hauling of gravel, heavy eX-
cavating, concrete construction, work
in swamp sections, sewer work in
rock.

Zone ma" be done as cheaply as in

Of unemployment some relief may so
be afforded. In Minnesota it is said
the contractors are keen to get the
work and have made low bids. In
that state it is hoped so to provide
jobs for $500 men.
This shows that while the finding
of Jobs for the unemployed is chiefly
an undertaking for the local public

to success, and suggest ways and
