Federal Road Funds Shared
BY National Forest States

Fifteen million dollars has been
apportioned by the Secretary of Ag
riculture among ~ states, Alaska,
and Porto Rico for the construction
of national forest roads and trails.
OF this sum 50, 5000 known as the
National Forest Highway Fund" is
set aside for roads of primary i'm
portance to states counties. and ma
tional forest communities; 81, 800, 900
constituting the National Forest De-
velopment Fund will be used for
the construction of roads and trails
needed for the administration and
utilization of the forests themselves.
These appropriations, forestry Of
ficials state. will give Il new impetus
to the work of opening up vast tracts
of valuable timber and areas of seen
ic beauty for the use and enjoy
ment of the American people.
The development of roads and
trails throughout the forests will aid
materially in fire protection. At
present there are large areas of
trackless wilderness within the ma
tional forests that cannot be reached
by trails. When lightning storms
sweep over these inaccessible areas,
heavy fire losses of public timber
often occur.
Speed in reaching forest fire,
foresters say, is just as important in
protecting the country's forests as Is
speed in city fire protection.
OF these funds Maine receives
S7514, of which $4754 are national
forest development funds and $3.50
are of the forest highway fund.
Three states receive more than q
million each from the forest high
way fund, California, Idaho and
Oregon. while Idaho also receives
more than a million from the forest
Development funds.

To be retired from the United
States Navy at the age of thirty-three
years, with the rank of Lieutenant
and pay assured for life, is an event
rare enough to deserve attention on
it's own account. When the young
man is a native of this vicinity and
has made his way up the ladder en-
tirely by means of his own industry
and perseverance he gains double
distinction. Guy II. O EerlocIl, a ma
tive of HalloWcll, whose family NOV
ed to Augusta about five years ago,
and now reside at Chapel street,
has just returned from California
where he has been stationed for some
time. On account OF a serious illness
ne has been retired from the L. s.
Navy service with means of support
assured for the years to come. Six
teen Years aye the rcquisit time for
such action to be taken in behalf OF
veterans n the naval service. Owing
to his illness Lieutenant Overlook is
two years ahead Of the came.
Lieutenant Overlook was born in
HalloWell in the year 1889, from his
earliest youth aspiring to become a
machinist. With this Goal in view
he worked as apprentice in the ma
chine shop OF Fay and .'cott in Dex-
ter. and in Bangor. At the age of 10
he enlisted in the navy as a second
class maclIinist. At the time of the
World War, faithful work and con-
tinual endeavor had procured for him
rank as a commissioned officer in the
navy. During his war service he was
stationed at the Ford plant in Detroit.
Mich, where he was inspector Of
Eagle boat construction. Lieutenant
Overlook continued there after the
war. Two years ago he made the trip
on an Eagle boat down from Detroit
through the Great Lakes, via the VIII
lard canal tn the st. Lawrence river.
thence to the Atlantic Ocean and
along down the coast, continuing
through the Panama canal around to
California. IN Montreal the boat vas
forced to remain captive to the ice for
several weeks.
Since going to California Lieutenant
Overlook has been stationed at VAL
leio on the northeastern shore OF san
Pablo BAY United states navy Yard
being located at Mare Island nearby.
About a year ago he was taken seri-
ousIy i'll, has submitted to surgical
opartion since and is now in better
health. though not sufficiently strong
to fill out his two years Of service.
Lieutenant Overlook SAYS that he's
going to "sport" for n while and find
ont what the life Of a man of leisure
may be like.

The fire caught in the basement ani
spread rapidly. sbut the fire depart

good stop. The machinery and Ium-
Der was badly wet down and the floor
timbers were considerably burned
The first floor was damaged principal
ly by water and smoke, only little
fire working up through. The hall was
apparently unchanged. The hearses

The gathering of the clans, post
poned because of the bad weather con-
ditions the past week, will be held at
the rink tonight for the purpose Of
meeting the new "Y" team. The Bull
Moosers and the Old Guard will be out
in force and a good time is expected.
General practice and scrub games will
be played.

porous, owns a first Glass clubhouse

seemed to suit our forwards better

rings around the place. In fact all
the forwards preferred the larger rink
and Percy and Mac both say that
game did not take as much out Of
them as the one Wednesday.
Nate Weston played very acceptably
in the place of Hayden Ryan.
Bill johnson, the old war-horse, got
in for a few minutes when Mac retired
temporarily to attend to injuries to his
mouth resulting from an accidental
wallop from a Lewiston stick. 1t is
presumed that the chance to get lit

Haines moved up to Macs position
and Bill fell heir to Rays old job.
Mac soon came back, in fact that IS
a habit with Mac-he always comes
back for more. Ken Jarvis at goal
had his regular night hawk eye with
him and kept it consistently on the
elusive puck. Be it understood that
his goal guarding activities have a
great deal to do with winning or

Of all the guardians of the net who
have performed on the various teams
that have played Augusta this year.
Two more games are being arranged
with the A. S. D. team, which is well
come news to the Augusta fans.
Through the courtesy of Principal
Quimby of Cony High school. three
sections of the Cony stands have been
loaned to the carnival committee to
be used at the rink. They are now in
place and they were welcome addi-
ton at the game Saturday night.

u. S. Veterans Bureau
Has New Fund, WASH
ingtOn Memorial e

Colonel Albert Greenlaw, former
commander Of the department of
Maine, The American Legion, has re-
ceived the following information from
John Thomas Taylor, Washington, d.
c., vice chairman of the Legion
National Legislative committee:
The United States Veterans Bureau
announced on Jan. 81 last that the
American Red Cross had appropriate
ed $175,000 for recreational equip
ment to be used by disabled men in
training. The agreement between
the Veterans Bureau and the Red
Cross stipulates that this fund shall
be used only to provide equipment
and facilities fer recreational pur-
poses in resident training centers,''
that is, in centers where resident stu
dents are in attendance, which are
leased, equipped or maintained by
the United States Veterans Bureau
or owned by the government and OPP
Grated by the Veterans Bureau.
Regular High schools, colleges and
universities with which the Veterans
Bureau may have contracts, will not
share in the benefits provided from
this fund. This fund will be expend-
ed by a committee selected jointly
by the Veterans Bureau and the AM
erican Red Cross.
"To counteract the activities Of the
George Washington Memorial Asso-
citation we have called upon the va
rious state commanders. state adju-
tants, National Executive committee
men and chairmen of state legislative
committees, urging each department
of the Legion to take up with its
state the inadvisibility of appropri-
ating money for the erection of a
memorial in Washington, D. c., to
George Washington and the men and
women who served during the war.
The erection of such a memorial by
an individual or it's erection upon
government owned land was objected
to by the third national convention OF
The American Legion. This COM
mittee has done everything in it's
power to prevent the furtherance of
this plan in Washington, d. c.. and
would appreciate very much the CO.
operation Of the several states to dis
courage the erection of this memori-
al until such time as Congress has
adequately provided for the disabled
and passed the Adjusted Compensa-
ton btu."

DRESSING up for oneself.
IL paradoxically speaking. is
really not a selfish pastime,
for what, more than a comfortable
negligee that is both unusual and
delightfully."- becoming, can provide
the satisfaction and mental COM
posure necessary to relax from
home and civic duties and, at the
same time, prepare oneself to meet
with clearer insight the problems
that one must ever be ready to
face?
OF all the colors that may be
used for negligees, mauve, because
of the delicacy and refinement it
suggests, seems most enhancing in
the boudoir. And, as no other color
finds greater favor with Fashion
this season, mauve crepe de Chine
with mauve lace having a delicately
traced pattern was chosen for this
design, which boasts of simplicity
of cut with an effect that is charm
ingly unusual.
Character is added by the deep
mauve ribbons that secure the clos
ing and even further daintiness, by
the roses of a light rnauve that
vergea closely on pink.
