Auntie Remembered.

Auntie, getting along in years, is an
earnest advocate of the "blank" sys-
tenn Of memory training: By.@zits use
she has had remarkable success lately
in recalling names, always SO inclined
to slip away from her. The other day,
however, it took three attempts to get
the rightful appellation. Nephew went
up to her at dance, requesting an in
PRODUCTION to the new and decidedly
sturdy and stout young Kindergarten
who was substituting in our town.
Eyes, yes, I-know her name," said
auntie eagerly; "just let me think a
moment-it was entirely appropriate,
so didn't bother much with 1t. Let
me see. Strong, no; Hefty, oh, no;
remember it applied to her calling as
well as to her person. I have it now,
Powers-Miss Powers" said auntie tri-
umphantly.-Chicago Journal.

DISBURSEMENT.

Into the restaurant she came, with
the air of a princess, truly regal fig-
ure clad in brown from top to toe, and
looking as If she had just visited a
Partisan modiste and beauty parlor
"a perfectly groomed, handsome
woman.
There was an air Of refinement
abIot her. She looked extensively
tur:.ed out in the simple, deceptive
way.
She seated herself at table and
there were little EXPLANATIONS Of adml'
ration and envy from other diners
near.
A waitress approached. Every one
hushed to listen to the beautiful crea'
ture speak.
In a high-pitched voice she ordered
"Bring me an onion omelet."
1t was brought and she ate it with
her spoon!

ASK NEW TRIAL IN
WOODHOUSE CASE
Attorneys for Defence DO Not Ask to
Have Verdict Cut Down
Arguments Today. ~

BURLINGTON, Dee. 30-Attorneys
for the defense confined all their efforts
10 arguing for a new trial in the Wood
house $1000.000 alienation suit today
before Judge s. r. Moulton in county
court when a hearing was given on the
motion To set aside the verdict of S465-
600 against Mr.. and Mrs l.. r. Wood
house as being excessive and unwar-
ranted for the reason that it was tainted
by prejudice, passion and bias. No at
tempt was made to seek to have the YER
dict cut down.
The motion to set aside the verdict
which would give Dorrt Van Deusen
Stevens WoodhouSe nearly a half million
dollars occupied Is pages and contained
about 100 reasons.
Attorney w. II. Austin for Dorrit
WoodhouSe stated TO the court that he
wished 10 have il appear on the records
that he had been handed the motion FIVE
minutes before the arguments were
begun.
Charles ii. Darling who read the mo-
ton FIRST argued that the amount of
compensatory damages was grossly ex-
cesSlYe because the case didn't show
anything of peculiar value in the affeC-
Douglas Wo0dhouSe. 1t was necessary
in fixing the damages to arrive at the
value of Douglas as a married man.
There was nothing to show that Douglas
had Il peculiar value, but rather the eYi-
dence showed that he was of less value
than the ordinary man in this respect
The actual damages were inconsidar-
able according TO Mr.. Darling's argu-
ment. The loss Of conjugaI society was
inconsequential. After Dorrit and Doug
las We're married they We're together but
small part of the time and the time of
the final separation came about Il year
after the wedding There was nothing to
show that any effort was made BY either
Dorrit or Douglas to hold the other.
There was a feeling Of Indifference be-
tween them ali through their married lifc
if il was NOT something less There was
no effort at home ties The attorney also
argued that there was nothing to show
that Douglas was susceptible To outside
influences and there was also no evidence
to show that there was any coercion used
by the parents.
Douglas was not worth any more than
$4,000 and any aid he could render in a
financial way certainly could not exceed
that. Judge Darling argued that tc
place the valuation of man worth
$4,000 at S465. 600 was shock to the
judicial sense of Justice" He also argued
that when il came 10 the pain. humilia-
tion and suffering Of the wife in the ease
there was nothing TO show that il was
any greater in this case than in similar
cases which had resulted in a verdict as
low Us the dollar.
Dorrit Woodhouse was in the court
room bat neither Mr., nor Mrs. l.. T.
WOodhouse WAS present There were
fewer than half dozen persons in the
audience

F. Il Stuart proprietor of the Brook
dale farm in Hollis Center, is the latest
York county resident found who is wear
from sheep which he raised himself and
Mr.. Stuart puts Judge Emery and other
York county residents into the back
ground as he not only raises enough wool
TO make suits for himself but has kept
his wife and children plentifully supplied
with woolen clothing and has also had
enough wool to make several pairs of
blankets for home use.
Since the war Mr.. Stuart has sent all
the wool from the sheep raised on his
farm to the mills and has secured enough
cloth to make dress suits and dresses In
several shades for his wife and children,
so that they have not been obliged 10 pur
chase heavy clothing of any description
since they have taken up the production
of their own wool.
The Stuart farm embraces 100 acres
and is situated on the road from Saco to
Hollis Center, about half a mile from the
main road. Ii is n model farm and
equipped with all modern apparatus. The
farm is well stocked Besides a herd of
cattle they have large NUMBER of hens
which are among the best in the county.
The farm produces practically everything
needed and very seldom are they required
to rely upon stores for the necessities of
life. Quite frequently Mr. Stuart brings
in a lead of produce for which he finds
ready market
One of the products of the Stuart farm
for which it is noted. is the old-fashioned
cheese, such as was made In grand
mothers time. Many of the cheeses are
manufactured from the surplus milk pro
duced on the farm. and the demand has
always exceeded the supply.-Biddeford

AMERICA WOULD

America at Present.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3O.-Disclosure
by Secretary Hughes, in his New Haven
speech last night Of the belief Of the
Washington government that an intcrna-
tional commission of financiers including
Americans. might well be called in to
recommend a method of settlement for
the reparations crisis, apparently leaves
the next move in the hands of the allied
premiers.
The American suggestion, Mr.. Hughes
specified, was offered as an alternative
in the event that the premiers at their
Paris meeting next Tuesday fail to find
a basis for adjustment of their views
among themselves
The secretary stressed the view that
settlement by the premiers was to be
hoped for. He pointed out that failing
such an agreement. the world might be
facing the employment of forcible means
to collect reparations from Germany
and outlined the danger to world peace
the American government toresaw in
that course.
As a first condition of appointment of
an economic commission, however, Mr.
Hughes specified that the whole question
of Germany's capacity TO pay and
methods of payment must be taken out
of politics. He emphasized that the

Board of Governors Names
Committees for Com
ing Year
DECIDES TO HAVE
WOMEN'S BOARD


Written Reports at Frequent Intervals
Skating Rink Builder to Come Here
at Oncc-List CT Committees.
An important meeting of the board of
governors of the Outing club was held
yesterday afternoon at O'Clock at the
club headquarters, ut which time COM
mittees for the year 1923 were appointed
and plans for the winter sports discussed
Among the various matters accomplished
were the establishment of women's

tivities of the club, the adoption of a
resolution authorizing the purchase of
100 naval pennants for the decoration of
the ski jump and the skating rink now
in the process of construction and the
appropriation of substantial sum to
advertise the coming ski events. The
rink is TO be on the Retreat premises.
An innovation in connection with the

the requirement made by the board that
chairmen of all committees effective at
once, must hereafter file with the secre-
tary at the end of each month. a report
in writing containing information as to
the accomplishments made by each COM
mittee during that month. In addition.
chairmen of committees closely affiliated
with the winter sports program are re
quired to file weekly reports at the end
of each week. in order that definite
progress in each department may be
noted These reports will be posted on
bulletin board at the club headquarters.
where all members of the club may be in
formed as to the progress made by each
committee.
The list of the new committees is as
follows:
Skating Rink and Skating Events: C.
Il. Cruger, chairman II. V. Brooks. Den
nison B. Cowles. with James Z. Helyar
as advisory member.
