WALLED GARDENS

A young American woman won a
prize offered recently by an English
newspaper for the best suggestions
for making the city of London more
attractive. Some of her ideas would
appeal to any interested reader,
English or American. But her sug-
gestion that the Londoners tear down
all its walls hiding gardens and
green spots probably would receive
little approval from the British home
lover.
Even as the Englishmans home is
his castle, so his garden is an out-of-
doors breathing spot dedicated to
privacy and family enjoyment. He
would no more relish the idea of lay
ing his garden and the family activ-
tiles conferred in it bare to the public
gaze than he would relish tearing out
the wall of his house so that what
went on in the rooms within should
be open to the eyes of the curious
passer-by. And is he not right in
this?
The great American front porch
and front yard are noble institutions.
justly representative of nation
which has nothing to hide, but for
all that there is something about the
quiet, restful privacy of the walled
garden which is beginning to make
its way even among our frank and
open people, and it is more likely that
coming years will see more walled
gardens in America than fewer in
dear old England.

BITTINGER

On Friday evening of last week be-
tween seven and eight o'clock, two
unknown men attacked Miss Hazel
Faidley, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Faidley, in the yard at the
hotel in Jennings and subjected her
to most violent treatment. Miss
Faidley is about sixteen years of age
and on the evening mentioned she
had walked but a few steps from the
kitchen door of the hotel to an out
building for the purpose of locking it
for the night As she struck match
for the purpose of locating the lock
two men stepped up and one of them
struck her in the face saying, "This
time we've got you" while the second
man struck her upon the head, the
blow rendering her unconscious The
two men then carried the PROSTATE
girl to a nearby field, but becoming
frightened by the turning on of lights
they ran off, leaving their victim ly-
ing unconscious upon the ground
where she was later found by her
mother. Bloodhounds were brought
to the scene on Saturday, but they
were unable to follow the trail, it
having rained very hard the night
before which eliminated all scent of
the perpetrators of the outrage. This

Club Adopts New
Membership Fees

Brunswick, Apr. 12-(SpeciaD-
The annual meeting of the Brunswick
Golf club was held at Community
house this evening and was largely
attended. A new schedule of MEM
bership fees was adopted as follows:
Resident memb ers, $50 plus war tax;
nonresident. $40; women, 50; school
children. $3.50; non-playing social
members. 81; visitors, 81 day.
There was considera BILE discussion re-
garding the club membership charged
the students of Bowdoin college for
use of the links. Heretofore, that
membership has been SIS which
has permitted any student at Bow
doin to play on the links at any time
during the year. 1t was proposed to
increase that membership to S1OO
and it was voted that no student be
permitted to play on the links Satur-
day afternoons, Sundays or holidays
unless they take out regular resi-
dent or nonresident membership.
This action was taken because it was
claimed that the student players
were crowding the regulars off the
links on those days. Officers were
elected as follows: President, Nor
