The social held Saturday. night.
was a success, with practically every
member present. Several new and
interesting games were introduced
and furnished much amusement.
Brother Greene was the lucky one
this week to win the blind pig.
Greene says it's just the thing to
have around when you are hungry.
Mrs. Defbaugh furnished the prize
The closing topic was when Is
the Next Social" No doubt. with
weather permitting. It will be held
out doors, if a suitable place can
be secured. If you know OF one, say
something.
Much credit Is due to the social
committee, composed of White
Hamilton, President Pruitt and r.
Greene They sure can act and act
quick. All you got to do is tell
them you want something and
they'll have 1t ready in a couple of
hours, if necessary.
Huber says there is no use OF act
ing the part of a "one-legged
chicken" If you haven't got your
eyes open. Charles thought he was
an aeroplana the way be retreated
from his opponents Little Jim
Gallo most likely will be champion.
He's so small you can't get at him.
He just stands still and let's you run
into him and then laughs at you
bouncing off.
Huber has a complaint TO hand TO
the social committee. They know
he doesn't like coffee, so they only
gave him small cup, which held
about 100 mouthfuls or Ave quarts.
He says he wants a larger one next
time, so It won't embarass him ask
ing the committee to fill his cup so
often Might suggest they use his
cup TO compound the Java in next
time and let Melve have the perco-
lator.
The committee lost sight OF Huber |
once and found him in back OF his
cup. After that they made him hold /

ing, among them being Defibaugh
Sadie rand the Dawson brothers
families. The latter were unable
to be present. due to the younger
Dawsons being i'll. Best wishes and
better luck next time, is the wish of
the gang.
The Clarks were among the early
arrivals for a change, while Greene
was detained on business.
The bunch is DESTROYS of seeing
little Jim Gallo and either Mrs.
Pruitt or Mrs Defibaugh in the ring
together. Possibly Mrs, Sadler would
make a good opponent.
In assembling the missing part OF
the Donkey" Mrs. Huber was the
winner, while the younger Pruitt
got the BOBBY prize. Mrs. HANDLE
ton donated the prizes.
Talk about cats chasing rats, you
know nothing about speed unless
you were there, and the funny part
Of It was, the women were not a bit
afraid. They even chased rats six
feet tall. Ask Hub il they weren't
that big. If was also amusing to
watch Big Jim try to crawl through
the holes after them.
Then came the big event OF the
evening, eats, and believe us, as
usual nobody went home hungry.
Some say it would be a good idea
to plan the long Sunday runs this
season on the Sundays following the
socials. so everybody would be to-
gether and they would get an early
start. because they would already
be fed up and would not have to
stop for breakfast. All those in
favor, give the usual voting sign;
contrary; passed.
Well, tomorrow nights meeting is
the combined meeting and all the
ladies' are requested to be on the
Job, as some mighty interesting news
is expected to come from them. If
not we sure miss our guess.

QUERIES
OF ALL SORT
ABOUT SPORT
BY BILLY EVANS

Is the use of the spltball under
the ban In the minor leagues as well
as the majors? What Is the exact
status of the major league pitchers
who still use that style of delivery?
What is the penalty for the use OF
the spltbali by some pitcher who is
familiar with the delivery but has
no right 10 use It'd. o. Il.
The spitball is under the ban in
most of the professional baseball
leagues.
There are some minor leagues
that still permit the use of that
style delivery.
Such action is really a mistake on
the part of the minors permitting
1t, and a greater mistake for q pitch
er TO use it. even if having the right.
The minor leaguers hope to sell
their stars TO the majors. The ma
jors are the goal of every minor
league player A pitcher who uses
the spitball in the minors is killing
his chances to show in the majors
since that delivery is barred by both
big leagues.
When the majors adopted the
rule it was decided that all pitchers
then in the league that used the
spitball should be permitted to con-
tinue its use, but no new pitchers
could adopt it.
The use of the spitball by pitch

Today suspension in the majors.
There are about Is pitchers In all
who have the right to use the spit
ball in the two major leagues.

Colonial Monday

An unusually fine cast has been

her new starring vehicle, For Those
We Love-" a Goldwyn release, COM
ing to the Colonial theatre Monday.
Lon CLANCY who made his first
outstanding success in 1.-THE Miracle
Man." the same picture in which Miss
Compson herself won national recog
milton, has the role of a gambler,
whose every good instinct was COW
cred by the hard veneer of his trade.
After an accidental meeting, in which
he saves the heroine from drowning
he finds that all his thoughts centre
upon her; and his acts afterward are
never free from the possible judg-
ment she may pass upon them. 1t is
a difficult Characterization superbly
done by Mr. CLANCY.
Richard Rosson, the brother of Ar
thur Rosson, the director of For
Those We Love-" has an important
part as the knavish brother of the
heroine. Frank Campeau an actor
of long experience, plays the part OF
an unregenerate gambling house
keeper. Other seasoned actors in the
company are Camille Astor, Bert
Woodruff, Harry Duffield, Walter
Morosco, son of the theatrical pro-
ducer. Oliver Morosco, and George
Cooper.

STATE H HOUSE
Mex. Meeting Of Governor Council Friday 27 A.

Shorey, "all motor vehicles owned
and used by the State of Maine, or
any city. town, village corporation,
municipal fire district. or county of
this State were exempt from regis
tration and the payment of regstra-
ton fees; but all such motor vehicles
were required to display indentifica-
tlon plates or markers, which were
approved by the secretary of State
The secretary of State did not furnish
these plates, but they had to be pro-
cured from some source by those in
charge of such motor vehicles. Once
the identification plates were ap-
proved they were good for all time
and could be used on any car as it
was not necessary to file any descrip-
ton of the vehicle.
when certain features of the new
law became operative Jan. i, 1922,
these Identification plates were auto
matically cancelled. The new pro-
vision of the law is contained in Sec
ton 81 of Chapter 211 of the Public
Laws of 1921 and.reads as follows:
All motor vehicles owned and used
Ny Tic Sldtc UT any municipal COrDCrG-
tion therein. shall be registered, bat
shall be exempt from the provisions of
this act as to payment of registration
fees; but all such vehicles Shall dis
play register Plates as required by this
act or approved by the commission
This means that each motor vehi-
Gle owned by the State or any munic-
ipal corporation must be registered
with the secretary of State and plates
| issued in connection with the regis
tration are valid only for the year for
which they are issued. A full de-
scription of. each car must be made
under oath and filed with the secre-
tary of State and the registration
plates must be used only with the
car for which they are issued.
| There is no fee in connection with
the registration and regular plates are
furnished by the secretary of State
without cost. In case a plate Of any
special design is desired by any de-
partment of State or by any munic-
ipal corporation it must be first
submitted to the State Highway
Commission for approval and such
special plates will not be furnished
by the secretary of State.
| THE law as to chauffeurs in the
employ Of the State seems to confuse
some." continued Mr.. Shorey. "This
provision of the law reads as fol-
lows:
Temporary licenses without fee may
| De issued to chauffeurs in the employ
OF the state or any municipal corpora
ton. to terminate when their employ
lnent ends
while the wording of this statute
IS perhaps not absolutely clear. it is
understood to mean that such license

cars owned by the State or municipal
corporation when such vehicles are
being used in the business Of the
state or such municipal corporation,
and does not entitle the holder to

ADJUSTMENTS
Dangerous Curve
Ahead" Last
Times TODAY

This afternoon and evening are all
that is left of the engagement of
Dangerous Curve Ahead" at the
Opera House. This is the latest pic
ture from the pen of that eminent
author, Rupert Hughes, and is another
great photoplay, like "The Old Nest"
which Mr.. Hughes also wrote. 1t is a
tender, sympathetic, humorous. and
very real, story of troubles and dan
ger points that confront young mar
ried couples. Written in Mr.. Hughes
happiest vein, it is story that lends
itself to the screen and which upon
the screen finds it's highest expression.
There is an ideal cast in production
with Helen Chadwick and Richard
Dix essaying the two leading roles.
The management urges any of its
patrons who may have neglected to
see this picture, to make it point
to do so either this afternoon or to-
night because of it's compelling
worth. The customary surrounding
program is shown with it, while the
scoring of it by the Opera House or
chestra is a decided treat. And the
management again wishes to lay
stress upon the fact that the usual
prices and starting hours prevail.
