A State wide baby week which
will probably be held the last week in
June or early in July is among the
summer plans of the Division of
Public Nursing and Child Hygiene Of
the State department of health of
which Miss Edith L. Soule is the
director. The baby week is of
course intended to arouse interest in
child welfare work with the aim of
saving both the lives and health of
the youngsters of Maine. Present
statistics show that every eight
hours a baby dies in healthy Maine.
Miss Soule feels that this death rate
Of children under one year of age is
entirely too large and hopes that it
may soon be materially lowered.
The Division Of Public Health
Nursing and Child Hygiene is now
nearing the close of it's first year,
having been formed last summer
through the cooperation of the
Maine Public Health Association
and the Red Cross in Maine which
organizations now pay the salary of
the director while the State depart
ment of health bears the expenses
attendant upon the work of the di7
vision. This division will shortly be
supported entirely by the State, it's
value having been demonstrated in
the past months since its Inaugural
ton, and both salaries and expenses
will be met from the State appro-
priation.
Regional conferences, which were
started by Miss Soule shortly after
the formation of the division, are still
being held monthly in different sec
lions of the State. The public health
nurses of the Central Region re-
gently met here for a conference at
which meeting DR.. l.. d. Bristol,
State commissioner of health, Alton
s. Pope, district health officer for
this section and Miss Mary K. Nell
son, director of the Nursing Division
of the New England Division of the
Red Cross were the guests and chief
speakers.
Miss Soule is also cooperating
with the Baby Week program in
Portland, April 1928. at which time
exhibits, demonstrations and movies
indicative of baby welfare will be
held all over the city.

CHARITABLE BUREAU STRONGLY APPEALS
 FOR OLD CLOTHES

With the industrial condition of the city and the financial condition of numerous families becoming no brighter. the Catholic Charitable bu- reau is making a special appeal this week and next for old clothes. old shoes, old furniture or anything at all which may be of use in its work among the people who are in need of aid.
 From the atars of IS of the Cath olic churches in this city and vicinity on Sunday, letter from Rev. John H. Landry of Blessed Sacrament church, association director of the Catholic Charitable Bureau, explain ing the strong need for articles and the various uses to which they would be put, was read. As long as there is still a bit of usefulness left in any donation. the bureau will wei come it.
 Persons wishing to help in this work may communicate with the of- fee of the Catholic Charitable Blu reau in the Meigs building and the goods will be called for at any con- yenient time.

would make the burning oil spread farther.
 Many plans for disposal have been offered One would ask Congress to make appropriations for enforcemert of the statute prohibiting the casting of troublesome oil upon the waters Another would request the city to enforce the ordinance providing bar ges to carry off the oil.
 How to dispose of the waste even should it all be poured into barges is another problem. Commercially, it has little value, it is said, and it would be useless to dump it at sea, even so far out as fifty miles. For the oil would come back. just like the cats people try to get rid of by talk ing to the country. Shipping men, however, express the belief that a profitable means of utilizing the waste will be found.
 Representatives of the national board of fire underwriters have in formed the committee that the prob European harbors had interested the governments of Great Britain, France and Italy, and that they were work ing on possible solutions.

STAMFORD

Registrars of voters and all others concerned in the work of making new voters are hopeful that many as possible will attend the first ses- sion at the town hall the coming Sat urday, rather than wait until the last day which will be Saturday, Sept. 24- The hours will be from s a m. until 9 D. m.
 The draw on the Stratford si.t, of the new Washington bride, is in com mission sufficiently for it to be let down during the day, where it re- mains while work is being done on this part of the structure, unless a night the draw is lifted at quitting time-
 At the Stratford theatre tonight a "carnivar' night will be in order. There will be a news reel, a Larry Semon comedy, a special attraction, '"The Runaway Trail" and other spe- cial features. with plenty of thrills promised. The same program will be repeated tomorrow evening"
 Manager Feldman has not been 'ap- preached on the subject, but people in the center are wondering what attitude he will take on the matter of showing any Anbuckle films. It is hardly probable that the police will take any action. Public opinion seems to be that the fat comedian would hardly appear comical in view of present charges in the air against him, and it is expected that the lead of theatre managers in other locali- ties will be followed by Manager Feld- man.
 Many Strattord people will be in terested and at least a few involved to no little extent in the failure of Jeremiah Holmes who opened up tfre development in Stratford known as Floral Park. A more complete ac- count of the bankruptcy proceedings will be found elsewhere. A hole on the roadway on the green side of Paradise Green is guarded by a slender stake, that may be more of menace than the hole itself. The street from the foot of the green for a considerable distance toward Derby | is in very bad condition, causing much of the outbound traffic to follow the | trolley tracks, which while r,ough, are a great deal smoother than the road | way. It is unlikely that repairs will | be made until the sewerage work is l finished.

 Dramatized from Frederic S. Ish- am's brilliant novel Of the same title by Mr Isham and Max Marcin, few comedies written and produced in the past decade can compare with 'Three Live Ghosts in view-pleasing enter tainment. It is a play decidedly up- to-the- minute, possessing unique theme out of the ordinary which keeps one in flights of laughter from start to finish. he dialogue is so bright and crisp, the situations so excrutiatingly funny, that explosions of laughter follow in rapid success sion- PUhi1ip Klein, the producer of this clever comedy is determined that it shall be seen at it's best while On tour and in consequence has pro vided a brilliant cast which iicludes Manic Griffen, one of the best known and popular comediennes of the pres ent day together with such metro politan favorites as Dorothy Sawyer, Elsie Reeves Smith, Harry Glyn.

OF ACCIDENT HAZARD
 AIM OF COUNCIL
Ida Tarbell to Address Meeting of Thousands of Safety Workers.

Ida M Tarbe1l of Bedding Ridge, noted authority on industrial prob lems and Brigadier General Charles E. Sawyer M. R. C. personal physician to President Harding will be among the speakers at the Tenth Annual Safety Congress of the National Safety at Boston September 26 to 30 at which it is planned to demonstrate that a billion dollars year can be saved to the industries of this coun- try by the prevention of the 20, 900 deaths annually by industrial accl- dents and the thousands upon thou sands of injuries sustained by workers in industry, and how an economic saV- ing of billions more to the naH1on as a whole can be made by the prevention of the 55,O0O deaths and hundreds Of thousands of injuries caused annually by public accidents.
 Between three and four thousand men and women who make a business of saving lives and limbs will attend the safety congress. Every section or or the country and every industry will be represented at this great conven- ton, and every phase of public and industrial safety will receive consld- eration. Safety engineers, industrial welfare directors, federal, state, and municipal officials, college professors and school teachers, policemen and firemen. members of industrial com missions, journalists, business men. and many other classes will be among the delegates.
 The foremost problem confronting the public safety division of the Ma tioT,sl Safety Council is,. of course, the automobile accident situation. The delegates to the Congress will try to find a way to reduce this hazard which is causing the loss of approX1- mately 900 lives a year While no utopian panacea to wipe out all auto mobile accidents can be evolved, the safety men are sure that by proper organization of public accident pre- veTtion as a community activity the terrible toll of automobile accidents can be greatly lessened.

Frank Finney's Revue" is the ti- tie MT. Charles H. Wa1dron has con ferred upon his burlesuoe attraction touring the houses of The Columbia Amusement Company this season.
 Waldron, who is one of the main- stanys of burlesuue. and who has owned and produced at least one at- traction each season for a number of years past, possesses a great ad- miration for Finney and has had him in his employ for a number of sea- sons,
 Naming the attraction for Finney is something in the line of recogni- tion of that gentleman's worth and ability. Another. and possibly a more correct reason, is because the piece presented literally is Frank Finney's "revue," he having written and devised it
 Finney, of course, heads the list of fun-makers but is by no means the entire show He has a capable support and a good sized cast, and a youthful and vivacious chorus does much to enliven proceedings through out.
 Frank Finney's Revue will be the attraction at the Park for three days, beginning with matinee tomor- row.

He tip-toed to the door, poked in his head---then--- started to
 run away!

As I was coming back from lunch the other day, | noticed a man ahead of me on the stairs.
 When he came to our door, he opened it a few inches, poked his head in, looked around the reception room, then hurriedIy pulled the door shut and started to run down the stairs! He ran right into my arms before he saw me!
 As he started to apologize for running into me, I said: Couldn't you wait a few minutes for a dentist? Are you in an awful hurry?"
 "Yes, I am!" he said, rather frightened like.
 "Wen," I said, "I'n take care of you then, right away Pm DOctor-w
 So he came in with me. He had a very badly de- cayed tooth he wanted pull ed. took him right into the extracting room, and he had it out within a few minutes. As he came out he laugh ed and said:
 "Well, that was fine! I never felt it at all!
 "To tell the truth" he went on, 'I wasn't in any hurry. In fact, I rode around in my machine all morning trying to make up my mind to come up here! | just was a coward and a quitter when it came to getting a tooth pulled!
 sI sure am glad now that ran into you, Doctor, as I was running away after getting as far as your dOOr!'
 Of course, we had @ good laugh over it then. Such fear of coming here is laughable! Everybody who comes up, fearing they may be hurt, must have a good laugh at themselves when they go out!
 If you have a tooth that needs fixing, don't be so fool ish as to let it go on getting worse-hurting you more poisoning your blood-en- dangering your health!
 Come up and talk with any patients in our chairs! Every one of them will tell you we never hurt a bit!
 Get in the chair - and you'll laugh at yourself, too, when you go out, for ever having been scared of com ing up to see us!
 Come up any time - ask for any one of us!
