HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
STUDYING ABOUT MAINE

Augusta Chamber of Commerce
Booklet Proving Popular in Schools
in Connection With Regular Course
in 0sosraphy-Many Letters Re.
gardina Employment Reserved at
Chamber Of Commerce Office
The little sixteen page illustrated
booklet published by the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce is finding a
ready demand due to the interest in
Maine displayed by hundreds of
school children from all parts of the
country. 1t seems that these chill
dren ranging from the fifth to the
eighth grades are making a study in
their own way of the cities and
towns of greatest importance in the
various st1kes as they come up in
their re@. course in geography.
In ever yWcase they ask for pictures
which are cut out and pasted on the
compositions and exhibited in the
class rooms. What better way than
this to get Augusta and Maine before
the public could be devised Prac-
tically every state in the Union called
for our booklet through their school
children.
augusta is also attracting a lot of
OUTSIDE attention at the present time
from people out of work. 1t is rum
ored abroad that there is plenty of
employment at Augusta for every
one and that living conditions are
right and prices very low. A letter
received from small town in New
York, recommends to the good Offices
or the local Chamber of Commerce
man and his wife who are willing
10 come to Maine for employment
ana permanent residence Similar
letters come every day, leading to the
conclusion that Augusta cannot only
grow but can select her future ojti-
zens from the best type of people.

De put on an automobile that VI II give
sufficient light to pick out an object
in the road at 200 feet and not CAUSE
glare except with absolutely correc.
focal adjustment. This correct focal
adjustment is obtained by seeing that
the bulb is in exactly the right reTa-
ton to refectors and eliminating de-
vices. and that the lamps are abso-
lutely in the correct focal position and
tilt. When lighting device has been
tested and approved by the laboratory
engineer he will make a report to the
vehicle department and give an exact
description Of how this device must
be used on automobiles. The maker
of the device will then include written

and, to cover the law, a motorist must
have his lights adjusted in strict ac-
cordance with the ruling of the State,
and the instructions accompanying the
device.

1t doesn't matter how old you are,
II you keep well and active Many
folks are younger at 10 than others
at 60. Lame, bent back; stiff, achy
joints: bad eyesight and deafness are
often due to neglected kidney trouble
