COBURN NOTES

After coming through Saturdays
conflict without injuries, the Hair es-
men were out on their jobs Monday
afternoon getting ready for Kent's
Hill. Kent's Hill sprang the sur
prise of the season Saturday when
they defeated Hebron, incidently the
first time in IA years. This makes
the Readfield boys serious contend
er for Coburn Saturday. Both Co
burn and Kent's Hill have been sent
back by Westbrook Seminary and
Saturdays conflict will settle the
second place for the prep schools in
the mythical prep school league.
The first thing done by the coach
yesterday afternoon was to give a
careful and important talk on Satur-
days game. The real worth of the
Coburn team could not be shown by
the week opposition given by the
visitors. 1t did show. however, that
there has been considerable i'm
provcment in the Crimson and Gold
line up. The forward pass was not
used to any extent because of the
wind. Some of the passes thrown
were dropped by the boys on accoun.
of cold hands but they showed that
their offense of the pass was all right.
The few passes thrown by Higgins
were quickly smothered.
Last night there were more new
plays added to the present list. In
graham was sending a few punts out
over the So yard mark. In Saturdays
game he booted the ball the best that
has been seen on Libbey field for
some years. At two times he sent
the pigskin, with the aid of the
wind. over 80 yards. At one time at
the kick off he booted the ball 70
yards, a feat that has been accom-
plished by very few men in the COL
legiate ranks. After striking the
ground the ball travelled almost as
many more yards before it vas ralt-
ed. He is getting his kicks away
quicker and seems to get more dis
lance out of them. During the past
few weeks he fell down on his kick
ing but at his present speed he will
have the Kent's Hill boys at bay
with some of his long kicks
The girls basketball practice was
held last night There were 35 mem
bers to report for the squad. There
is much talk over the game to be
played this week between the jun
iors and sophomores to decide the
interclass championship. Roth
teams are putting n extra hard
work. The game was postponed from
last Friday and will be played SC me
time during this week.
This afternoon Miss Pearce, IN
charge of the Outing Club, with An
ne Hooper, Priscilla Clark and Do
rothy Daggett will go on scouting
expedition to search for a new place
for the Outing Club for hike. They
will go to Anne Hoopers' home in
Winslow and have picnic lunch,
from there they will go out on their
expedition.

''R0TAR|ANNES" TAKE
CHARGE OF MEETING
At THE EL.MWO0D

The regular meeting of the Water
Vile Rotary club was held at the
Elmwood hotel Monday noon. 1t
had been announced as surprise
and it was a genuine one for after
being told at the hotel desk that no
tickets were required for the festivi-
ties the Rotarians entered the main
dining room to be greeted by their
ladies. who had proved the falsity of
an old adage by showing that women
can keep a secret. AS the gentlemen
appeared the ladies rose and sang in
unison Hail. Hail, the Gangs All
Here" The faces of some of the
gentlemen were a study.
Someone had coached the ladies
just what to do, for they at once
proceeded to take charge of the meet
ing just like real Rotarians; in fact
they called themselves "Rotariannes".
Mrs. Herbert c. Libby. wife of DR..
Libby, president of the clsb presided.
Mrs. George MARI. wife of Secretary
Mari, had in some way purloined a
copy of Mr.. NIarr's report of the pre-
ceding meeting and read the same to
sAioS WI ny iAotAI lid COIl-
sternation. Then the ladies showed
that they knew all about the attend
ance contest which is on between the
Morning Glories" and the Daisies"
and called a roll of their own. Mrs.
George Vose. wife of George f. Vose,
captain Of the Daisies" called the
roll of that team and Mrs. Ora A.
Meader. wife of Captain Meader of
the Morning Glories,' called the
feminine Morning Glory" roll.
After the meeting had listened to
several songs contributed by the la
dies, the program was turned over to
the men.
John II. DeOrsay contributed a pa
per on the subject as Your Druggist
More Than a Merchant" He said that
the origin of the drug business is
found in the history of Egypt, Greece
and Rome. An Egyptian mummy
was found. in its hand a roll Of
papyrus on which We're written 40
prescriptions, compounded 1000 years
before the Exodus.
The first Pharmacopoeia was pub
iloucu III Italy III 49, una the nrSt
one in America in 177S for use in the
army hospitals during the Revolution.
This book is published by authority
once every ten years and required all
drugs to be of certain strength.
The speaker sal that days
druggist has to take care of babies,
crank Fords, act as assistant post
master and sell cigars and soda wa
ter in addition to his legitimate occu-
patton. He said that the average
sale in drug store is SO cents and
the average cigar counter sale Is
cents, which makes it necessary for
him to wait on larger number of
customers than other business men.
He has to work longer hours because
he deals in materials for the saving
of human life.
The speaker discussed some of the
interesting details of druggists life
and the legal red tape by which he is
surrounded. The paper proved very
interesting.

Golf Ball Insurance

The beginner at golf, although he
may not be able to drive his ball very
far. generally gets it into the rough
sooner or later and manages to lose
q good many of the expensive little
spheres.
AT one of the country clubs near
New York the caddie master is doing
q nice little business insuring balls.
For 50 cents he agrees to replace
with balls in good condition any that
are lost. His caddies are well
trained, and in most cases he comes
out ahead, for he gives his patrons
secondhand balls which have been
found on the links and repainted
Their cost. to him is practically
nothing. York Sun.

High School Dancing
Class Has Halloween
Masquerade Monday Eve

A Halloween Masquerade ball was
held at Union hall on Monday night
in connection with the high scho,
dancing class under the instruction
OF Mrs. Eloise L. Anderson. A large
number of the members of the class
were in attendance and nearly all
Of them were in fancy costume. A.
mong the many different and inter-
esting make-uns were those repre-
senting Spanish cavaliers and noble
men, Turkish girls, cowboys, etc.
one Of those present suggested that
the assembly might well be called the
League of Nations, because of the
many different nationalties which
were represented.
Prizes were given for the best
looking and the most ridiculous cos
tunes. They We're taken BY Miss
Rachael Maher. who had the prettiest
costume, and Horton Flynt. who had
the most ridiculous one. Ths prizes
were large boxes of candy.
The hall was very prettily and ap-
propriately decorated for the occa-
sion. Streamers were hung from cor
ncr to corner, colored both purple
and white and twisted to form spir-
ais. The lights were all decorated
with large covers from which hung
streamers of purple and white. Hall
oWe'en lanterns of a small size were
suspended in various places about
the room to carry out the idea of
Halloween.
The music for the dances was fur
nished by the Douglas orchestra
1t is expected that two more Of these
assemblies will be held before the end
of the half year. The parents of the
children showed their interest in the
occasion, there being from 40 to As
present. This party was under the
management of Leon O. Douglass.

perfect condition as result of Sat
urday's layoff. The entire squad was

were able to master them in one
nights work These plays are de-
signed Ito give the Cony High war
riors a little trouble on next Satur-
day. Coach Hendricks is fully aware
that there is a real eleven at Cony
but has not made up his mind that
they will not be beaten this Satur-
day.
Forward passes were tried and the
boys are well equipped in this de-
partment of the game. The team has
we'll lined defense for this part of
the game. There was punting prac-
tice with the kickers standing be-
hind n line Of scrimmage and in front
OF wouidbe tacklers. This was de-
signed TO make the kickers acquire
more speed in sending out their kicks.
Donovan and Thibodeau did most of
the kicking Their punts averaged 45
yards.

Elastic Roads

An interesting surfacing expert
ment has been made, with promising
results, in Switzerland. Fine gravel,
the grains averaging from one
twentieth to one twelfth of an inch in
diameter, the whole carefully freed
from earthly substances. was coated,
in revolving drum, with tar. These
pellets were then carefully dried, and
after eight Of ten weeks seasoning
were spread. during dry weather, in
in a thick layer upon prepared
roadbed and rolled. The road thus
formed is inexpensive, possesses a
certain elasticity, and it is said to
Withstand the effects of a heavy ira
ffic. The desirability Of a slightly
elastic road for saving wear and tear
and lessening noise is evident.

Adulterated Coffee

Food inspectors have found that
certain coffee grinders and sellers are
adding to the lower grades of coffee
chaff and screenings to as high as 25
per cent, so the Bureau of Chemistry
reports. Their specialists hold that
chaff and screenings are not coffee,
and that such mixtures are adulter-
ated and misbranded under provis-
ions of the Food and Drugs Act when
labeled, sold. or offered for sale as
coffee. Action will be taken against
all such violators of the law.-Scien-

Invention Promises Secrecy for Radio
MESSAGES

Considering the wonderful advance
that has been made in radio commu-
nications during comparatively lin
tied time, it is only logical to expect
some development that would insure
secrecy for radio messages. 1t is now
announced that one Of the foremost
radio eXperimenters of this country
has produced simple device which
prevents any but authorized stations
from receiving broadcast messages.
Several messages may be sent at the
same time on a single wave length,
and the apparatus reduces the posi-
bility of accidental interference and
also the effects of static disturbances.
