Lieut.-Comman John Philip

all of the great solo and band cornet-
lists of the past quarter century, and
having himself trained for war Serv-
ice in the hundreds of hands sent out

cornetists than any living teacher,

the March King to succeed Herbert
Clarke, the veteran star cornetist of
Sorsa's Band who has retired for a

fame of John Dolan reached the ears
OF the great Bandmaster long before
the latter saw or heard him play a

when Dolan played, that settled it.

John Dolan is easy to look at" even
before the easy and flawless elo-

Locally Manufact-.
ured Fire Killer
Beats En- All to 1t

A Buick car parked Thursday
noon on Capitol street was discoy-
cred to be on fire. Several persons
saw it at the same time and con-
siderable connection ensued. All
were eager to help. A woman rushed
from the Blaine mansion with a
heavy liquid extinguisher. A man
rushed for the private fire alarm
box in the Capitol. but couldn't find
or didn't know where the key was
kept. He had State House en-
ployee phone the fire department.
but that order was quickly counter
manded-because Paul Stafford, en-
ployed on the Blaine grounds, see
ing the blaze, seized a Hanks fire eX-
tinguisher from the Blaine Mansion
garage door, rushed to the auto, the
first aid to arrive, the spectators
stood back. he sprinkled on the con-
tents of the tube and the fire was
out. The fire was first on the scene.
Paul and the Hanks extinguisher
were second, although scoring first
in promptness and efficiency.
The little fire extinguisher, the
invention of Eden W. Hanks of Au-
gusta and manufactured by the
Hanks Manufacturing Co. in this in
stance simply repeated a long series
of proofs of its infallibility as an oil
flame killer. It's simplicity of opera
ton renders it most practical for
emergency use and every event in
which it figures proves it's value and
reliability. The incident was another
victory for a home invention and
production.

Rain Insurance On
Windsor Fair Not
Yet Adjusted

The second day of the Worlds
fair was marked by rain, the down
fall starting about noon and lasting
the rest of the day. 1t was recalled
by many that a rain insurance policy
was taken out by the Windsor fair
association and it is understood that
the policy contained the conditions
that the rain was to fall sometime
between the morning light and the
middle Of the day The amount of
wetness that would warrant the col
lectins of the insurance on that day.
was to be one tenth of an inch Now
the question which is to be deter
mined by the insuFa nee company IS
whether or not the rain did come at
the proper time for the insurance.
The insurance was taken out with
the c. f. Downing insurance COM
pany.
