Unique Auto-Sled
Center of Interest

People on Main street were greatly
interested Sunday forenoon in pccu-
liar sort of a vehicle that looked like
cross between a flying machine and
an automobile, that came up the street
az a rapid rate. 1t proved to be an
auto-sled driven by George w. Maxim.
which is of his own handiwork. The
body of the vehicle was & sort Of Il
bcat-shapcd affair with regular aero
plane propeller high at the back for the
motive power. 1t was fitted with a
Lawrence 2S-horscpowor, two-cylinder
aeroplane motor. the same kind that
vas carried on battleships for scout
ing duty during the war.
There were three runners. one in
front which was about a foot wide and
one at either side of the body of the
machine. a little narrower. The run
ncrs are built for either hard or soft
snow, a narrow steel runner being UNI
derncath the wide one. The snow of
Sunday was bit too damp and sticky
for the machine to do its best work,
but it can easily do Al miles an hour
under anything like favorable condi-
tons This particular machine carries
two passengers and is fitted comfort
ably with two automobile seats side by
side.
While the auto-sled is in an exreri-
mental stage. there is a great future
before it if it can be perfected along
lines already started. During the
summer Mr.. Maxim intends TO put the
rig on wheels and apply speedometer
so to ascertain the rate of speed it
VIII make. If the experiment works
cut successfully, Mr. Maxim and j,
A. Carnage of Augusta VINO is equally
interested in the affair and who carries
on a brokerage business in the Edith
building in this city, intend to form
company and bGildng the machines. II
is believed that they will be much
more practical for winter work than
an automobile. 1t is the intention ia
make them for private work only and
they will be especially suited for ply
sicianS and other business men who
have to travel daily in the winter.
The body of the machine that Mr.
Maxim was driving Sunday Was
painted blue and the runners red,
which with the white snow made a
pleasing combination. The machine
runs as quietly rs ar automobile and
Mr.. Maxim and his passenger made a
short spin up Main street, down Apple
ten to Front and back to the garage
en- Halifax street in Winslow. They
also made two and onc-half mile
trip out on the Albion road. which
was certainly an enjoyable novelty both
as to conveyance and as to surround
ings. for everything was laden with
snow and made charming picture.

Second Baptist
Pastor Resigns
After Four Years

AT the close of the morning SER
mon yesterday, Rev. H. J. Tetreault.
pastor OF the Second Baptist church,
read his resignation which will take
erect on the last Sunday in April.
Just about a year ago, Pastor Tet-
reault presented his resignation and
intended to return to Massachusetts,
ms nome State. but the people of his
church pleaded SO effectively with
MIN to remain that lie consented to
90 SO. About three weeks ago the
CHURCH had its annual meeting. at
which time all officers, including the
pastor, were elected for the ensuing
year. When Mr. TetreauIt was
asked by the chairman of the nom
lnatlng committee if he would serve
Tor another year, he replied that he
would not bind himself for any period
of time but would consent to a re-
engagement if the church so wished.
-Af. Ietfeault was, of course, unan-
! imously elected as pastor. However,
holing the splendid condition of the
church by the report submitted at
that meeting, and realizing that n
tempting and desirable appeal could
now ne made to a new pastor, and
that the church was probably in as
Sood condition as it would be posi- :
Die Tor him to create, and being de-
slrous OF giving some other man
with better, or different qualifica-
IONS, the opporI unity of leading this
people 10 greater success, he SO told
ms people yesterday morning and
asked them to accept his resignation
without reserve.
Whlle Mr.. Tetreault has been here
only four years, he has won the af-
lection of his fellows and has learn
ed to love dearly the people of this
city, and states that only motives of
conscience could induce him to
leave. He has a host of friends in
the city, bo1h in and outside of re-
llSlous circles, and also among the
attendants of the Temple at Eight
rod road. where ne has been con-
Quoting services on Sunday after
moons for several months and where
the work has grown to a marked de-
gree.
Mr. Tetreault will miss, and be
missed by, the other evangelical
churches of the city as lie was al
ways in attendance, and frequently
took an active part in, the services
OF a public nature in these churches.
He is at present president of the
local Pastors Union and on very in
|'timate terms with his fellow pastors.
He has had the privilege of welcom-
ing to the city all the present Pro-
a
as in the same ration he is the old
est Protestant pastor in the city, in
point of service.
1t is known that Mr.. TetrcauIt is
considering two or three PROPOSE
tons. but he has not vet made any
decision as to his future plans.
The church will act on Mr.. Tct-
ieautts resignation at special
: business meeting to be held after the
evening service on Sunday, April Q

Veterans Census Progressing

The census which began last Friday
among all World War veterans now
living in Winslow, Vassalboro and
Waterviue has progressed to a point
where no doubt is entertained as to
it's outcome.
The census idea was brought for
ward and tested cXpcrmentally in the
state of Iowa a year ago, while Han
ford McNider, now national command
er of the American Legion. was at the
head of the Department of Iowa. The
results were such as to make obvious
the feasibility and instant need Of a
national census.
The George n. Bourque Post is
working over Il very extended terri
tory which makes the task the more
difficult. This is one of the biggest
jobs the local legion ever tackled and
the entire post is determined to make
it an absolute success.
Returns are coming in to the post
adjutant with such promptness that
the work should be readily completed
by the end of this week The time it
takes to fill out the census blank is
trivial and there is no reason for de-
lay in getting at it. If any question
does not seem clear, or if anyone does
not feel sufficiently informed to reply
to any question, that fact should be in
dictated and the blank returned so that
the point in doubt may be explained.
The returned blanks which have
come from Winslow and Vassalboro
make up 4 very fair per cent. CT the
total which have been received.

New Unitarian
Minister Awaits
Suitable Quarters

Rev. William Claiming Brown of
Boston, field worker for the Amer
lean Unitarian association is in the
| city for few days in the interest OF
the Unitarian church. Rev. Roy +.
| Griffith has accepted a call to the
Unitarian church of this city and is
waiting only to secure housing quar-
tiers for his family before coming
here to fill the position. Mr.. Brown
met with the prudential committee
| of the church Thursday evening and
the church matters were gone
through with very thoroughly.
1t is understood that the American
Unitarian association has taken over
the running Of the plant and has ar
ranged to send a minister here for
three years and stands ready to buy
house for a parsonage if such a
house can be found.
A peculiar situation has come to
, light in regard to the Unitarian pro-
perty on Main street. 1t has leen
discovered that part of The Mel
cher, new apartment house built
two years ago and owned by the Elm
City Realty company is covering lard
which belongs to the Unitarian so
ciety of this city, having been decided
to them as right of way by one of
the Melcher family. many years ago.
This right of way runs north of the
church to Elm street and as laid out
cuts off q good sized corner of the
building. This has been discovered
through investigation of old deeds
and the claim has been fully cstab-
lshed. Negotiations between the
two are under way and it is believed
a satisfactory settlement can be
reached without any difficulty.

SOME DOUBT
Continued from PAGE One)

The strike, which began in Rhode Is
land IN January and spread to New
Hampshire and isolated points in
Massachusetts, in the middle of Feb
ruary, is only week old in the most
easterly of the mill cities on the Me--
rlmack river. Because the strikers
there are largely unoKanzed there
is more of a feeling Of uncertainty
than in Manchester and Nashua. n.
H., farther up the river, and in the
PaWtuxet and Blackstone Valleys of
Rhode Island, where under the direc-
ton of union leaders the striking OBJ
eratlves have settled down almost in
to a routine.
Two unions are trying to organize
the Lawrence strikers. estimated t
number about 10000 in seven mills.
Leaders of the One Big Union, after
being refused cooperation by the
heads of the United Textile Workers
OF America, are attempting to swell
their ranks and laying plans for in
dependent strike conduct Thomas
f. McMahon. president of the United
Textile Workers. has made Law
renee his headquarters for New Eng
land.
OF the Lawrence mills, which in the
strike was called last Monday be-
cause of 20eo wage reduction, two
were closed early last week. The
other five, including the largest
plant. the Pacific Mills, kept a part
OF their machinery in operation
throughout the week and announced
that they would be open tomorrow.
In addition to these strikers, 1000 OPP
eratives are idle in Lawrence be-
cause of the closing of the Arlington
Mills, which did not announce any
wage reduction but attributed it's in
definite shutdown to unfavorable
market conditions.
In Rhode Island the Amalgamated
Textile Workers, in charge Of the
strike in the PawtuXet Valley. are
concentrating their efforts on trying
to establish their right to have as
many picketS as they want at any
of the mills. They have started a
test case by submitting to the arrest
of two of their leaders in order to get
before the courts the question
whether the police or the national
guard officers on duty in the valley
have any statutory authority for en-
forcing a rule that in certain cases
only three men shall be allowed to
picket a mill
Leaders of the United Textile
Workers who have recently led dele
cations of Blackstone Valley strikers
to the state house in Providence to
watch proceedings in the senate with
regard to a 4S-hour bill before that
body are seeking to have the senate
galleries re-opened to them. On their
last visit Lieutenant Gov. Gross bar,
red them from these galleries on the
ground that they had disturbed the
session on a previous appearance.
Aside from active organizing and
fund raising by the United Textile
Workers, the last week has develop
ed little Of interest in connection with
the strike in New Hampshire.
No effort at mediation is under way
in any of the three states and pros
poets of a strike settlement appear
remote. About 10000 operatives are
now idle.

More One Big Union
Pickets at Lawrence Today

Lawrence. Mass, April 2-Leaders
Of the One Big Union announced to-
day that they would have a larger
number of pickets on duty tomorrow
at the mills affected by the textile
strike here. They addressed meet
ings of operatives of various nation
alities during the day.
President Thomas T. Mcmahon of
the United Textile Workers of
America said his organization did
not plan to increase its force of pick
cts at present. He conferred today
with members Of the Dyers'' and
F'inishers' union, and announced
plans for sending girl operatives to
cities in the middle west to collect
funds for the relief of the Lawrence
strikers. There was no general mass
me eting of strikers today.

WHEN a model is cut and de-

this, it naturally favors a figure
of slender or youthful proper

fedeto bring out its full charm.

it is fashioned. A jaunty tie of

Charles w. Mullen, former mayor
of Bangor. former legislator and
former Public Utilities Commissioner,
states that under no circumstances
will he allow his name to be used in
connection with the Democratic
nomination for Governor, because Of
business reasons.
AS the case now stands. no one

Some of the builders advocate a
platform largely devoted to advocat-

Maine. OF course the administration
of the affairs of the State by the Re-
