WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER SO,1921

The international conference on
limitation of ornaments is now dis
cussing methods of control or
adjustment of the instruments of
war that have been significantly
christened wiper" weapons. These
include poison gases, submarines,
bombing planes, etc. The horrors of
these in the World war have not
been forgotten, but chemists, sci
entists and inventors have been
busy since the war with inventions
of gases and bombs that would
cause the destruction wrought by
these agencies in the World war to
shrink into insignificance. The
people of the world realize that any
steps taken for curtailment or
navies and armies would be inef-
fective if the use of viper weapons
is to continue Civilization and hui
mainly demand that the viper be
killed.

Open for Bids in the Spring.
A big stride toward the construc-
ton of the proposed bridge between
Hancock and Sullivan was made at
a recent meeting of the joint board
of trustees of the towns of the
bridge district, with the county COM
missioners and the State highway
commission. The meeting was held
on the site, and the plans talked
over. Engineers were instructed to
go ahead with the drawing of plans
and specifications, which will be
submitted at another meeting of the
Joint boards to be held probably in
February.
Tentative plans call for bridge
of three 160-foot spans and a swing
or draw span of 240 feet. The sub
structure proposed is of cement
piers below the water line, with
stone piers with concrete cores
above the water line. The bridge
will be of steel, with roadway TWEEN
tS feet wide, and sidewalks. The
roadway will be of cement, except
on the draw span.
The bridge district is composed
of the towns of Sullivan, Hancock,
Winter Harbor, Sorrento and
Gouldsbro: The trustees are as fol-
lows: A. B. Holt and Fletcher T.
Wood, Gouldsboro, O. w. Foss and
Charles Colwell, Hancock; Fred
Goodwin and c. E. Hale, Sorrento;
George G. Blance and Milton Jor-
dan, Winter Harbor; w. B. Blais-
dell and A. P. Havey, Sullivan.
The joint board of trustees has
organized as follows: President,
A. B. Holt; treasurer, o. w. Foss;
secretary, w. B. Blaisdell.
All the towns are enthusiastic
over the prospects of seeing work
on the bridge actually begin next

The conference on limitation of
ornaments is regarded as the
mother of continuing conferences
and the grouping of nations in an
association to maintain the peace of
the world. Invitations to new and
possibly larger conference probably
will be issued before the present
conference ends. Germany will be
included in this invitation. In the
BACKGROUND of this method of deal
ing with international questions is
an annual court, codification of in
ternational law and a handling of
world affairs upon the basis of law
and justice. 1t is the American sub
stitute for the League of Nations,
which the United States refused to
join. 1t proposes international
joint action on a basis that offers a
beginning along practical lines, with
the suggestion of goal to be at
tanned as mems views become adj
justed to the new order

HANCOCK COUNTY JAIL.
Report by State Board of Charities
and Correction,

The State board of charities and
correction, from an inspection of the
Hancock county Jail made on Octo-
Der 81, reports the general condi-
lions found as commendable. Fol-
lowing is the report in full, with
communications:
Inspection, Oct. 81, Sheriff and jailer.
Ward w. Wescott, since Jan. 1, 1917;
turnkey and deputy Fred A. Patten,
with salary of SO a day. A cook is
employed by the sheriff, as the latter
lives with family at jail and receives
fixed price, $3.50 a week per prisoner
Number of prisoners at inspection.
eleven, two being women, the husband
of one being also a prisoner. Sixteen
commitments during year. one a boy
under seventeen, thirteen males over
seventeen and two women over seven
teen.
Total cost to county for year ending
Dec. 81, 1920, for Jail maintenance,
was $2.33775; weekly cost per
prisoner of $22, divided: Salaries.
$6.72; food supplies, $3.50; clothing,
35c; repairs and equipment, 81; other
expenses, such as light, water, coal,
etc, 1884
Recommendations and suggestions
Conditions generally are commend
able, except for the lack of occupa-
ton for the prisoners, in which this
Jail is no different, from any other, but
two recommendations are deemed ad-
visable: Boarding of prisoners direct
by the county instead of by the
sheriff. The use of sheets and cot
ton. linen or drilling spread-some
thing OF hard. smooth texture, easily
washable-on each bed would add to
the personal cleanliness of the prison.

given every day to the seniors. One
error costs the pupil ten perfect

The number of words required for

Amsterdam Diamond
Trade Has Poor Year

After having enjoyed its best year
in 1919, the d almond industry in AM
sterdam in 1920 experienced one of
the poorest years in the history OF
the trade. according to Daily Con-
sular and Trade Report Although
business in the first three months of
last year compared favorably with the
corresponding period in 1919, the trend
from then on until autumn was down
ward. at which period an upward ten
dency was assumed only to be followed
by sharp drop which continued
through the remainder of the year.
Several diamond factories closed en-
tirely in the course of 1920, while most
of the others reduced working days to
three or four week. At the close
of the year nearly 5000 of the 10000
workmen were idle. 1t is believed that
the condition of the trade in 1920 was
brought about by Germany, Austria,
Turkey and Russia selling cut diamonds
that were bought in more prosperous
times, in cons derable quantities
thereby weakening the already shaky
position of the diamond market; the
Russian Soviet government disposing
Of large quantities of "confiscated
diamonds, and many Russian refugees
realizing upon diamonds to avert star
walton.
