give their Kennebec county wards

the gifts.
An invitation to the party has
been sent to every member of the
State House Family. about $50 in all
and in less than an hour after the

replies had been returned TO the
committee in charge, consisting of
Charles S. Brown, Theresa c.
Stuart and Maurice II. Leighton.
Contributions have been made by the
State House employees to make the
State wards happy on Christmas. and
over 500 was donated for the pur-
chase of presents.

candy, sailed peanuts on the tables
like sailed almonds, peanut butter,
peanut oil and peanut meal or flour.
And all the possibilities of the peanut
have not yet been realized by the
public.
American farmers are not supplying

GIVE UP CONTEST WITH SAND

to Get Out of tho Way.

After fighting night and day to keep
their tracks free from %windblown
sand, two railroads running along the
banks of the Columbia river, near
Wallula, Washington, have given up
the struggle and are soon to move
their roadbeds to the top of the bluffs,
out of reach Of the sand. For months
teams Of horses and scrapers have
struggled with the sand.
During the flood season the river
deposits sand and silt on the Colum-
bias banks to a depth Of from ten to
fifteen feet, and as the water recedes,
the wind picks up this fine, rounded
material and carries it over the sur
rounding country. On the farm of

TURN CHURCH INTO CENTRAL
Phone Workmen, Following Disaster
at Pueblo, Colo, Use Odd
Makeshift-

Time out of mind the church has
been an asylum for the helpless and
the suffering in times of disaster, but
it remained for a church in Pueblo,
Colo, in the first few hours of con-
fusion following the last flood, to
throw open its doors to a telephone
company, sc that a temporary switch
board might be established in its base.
ment and the vitality necessary system
of communication with the outside
world might be re-established.
No sooner had the waters receded
than the telephone men were on the
ground seeking to restore service. The
flood had ruined their central office
equipment and they sought in. vain to
find another building in which to house
the temporary headquarters. Then
Rev. Frank E. Eden, pastor of the
First Baptist church, came to their
aid with an offer of the use of his
building.
Gangs of installers quickly trans
formed the basement of the church ed
ifice into an up-to-date central office
and for some time Pueblo's only means
of communication by telephone was
through a switchboard-probably the
first in history-set up in a house of
worship.
Telegraph Instruments were also in
stalled and during the period in which
the church was put to this emergency
use the pastors sermon were accom-
panied by the click of Morse instru-
voices of the telephone operators as
they transformed into action the spirit
of service which he preached.

AMERICAN GIRLS NOT so BAD
Our Ffappers May Smoke, but They
Did Not Start the "Fad," Is
the Defense.

It would be deplorable if all Amerl-
can girls, or the average American
girl, or a majority Of American girls,
or a considerable proportion Of Amer
lean girls, could be described truth
fully as an English novelist describes
the American girl:
"Unbalanced, cigarette smoking, I'M
disciplined morsels of sex. Turing men
to find new lips to be kissed"
There are "undisciplined morsels of
SEX" as there were when Salome
danced before Herod and That's ac-
companied Alexander the Great upon
his Asian marches, comments the
Louisville Courier-Journal. One re-
members Salome and That's without
having heard of the millions of their
contemporaries who knew how to
knead and bake and sweep and make
swaddling clothes.
One "undisciplined morsel of sex
gives her set. in jaundiced eyes. its
standing. BY the exception. as often
as otherwise, is proved the type that
rules
Denunciation sometimes serves the
ends of publicity to a certain class OF
writer's. But while denouncing the
American girl as a very orward
March chick how could any n charge
the American girl peculiarly with
smoking cigarettes?
White women-squaws had the hab-
1t before America was discovered
first smoked tobacco In England and
France. When this country was a
wilderness. with the white settlers
hacking with their axes at its edges,
London women of fashion were smok-
ing pipes in places of public enter
tainment.
The modern revival of smoking by
women began. American women are
assured. in England. Twenty years
ago the astonished American CORE
spondent cabled the news that British
debutantes smoked cigarettes "openly"
at the Ascot races.

TELLS ALL ABOUT AIRPLANE
Explanations of the Mystery Of Fly
ing, Made for the Benefit OF
the Uninitiated.

The airplane is being used more and
more today for travel. so, if you want
to know about the latest means OF
transportation. you want to know
something about the airplane and fly
ing, remarks a writer in the Christian
Science Monitor.
Instead of a driver, you call the
man who handles the plane a pilot.
When the pilot wants to start the en-
CINE or motor in the plane, he pulls
on the propeller in front Just as you
would pull to crank, an automo-
bile, and when he gets the propeller
spinning, then the motor is ready for
fight.
The pilot always rides several hun
dred feet on the ground before he
goes up in the air. He always tries
to start flying in the face OF the wine
instead of with 1t.
Do you know what is meant when a
plane skids in the air? The pilot mas
not tipped his airplane enough in max
ing a turn or circle and the plane goes
along level instead of following the
turn. Slipping is just the opposite~of
skidding, for then the aviator mas
tipped his plane too much to n SIDE
and It actually slips or falls a dis
lance before he can right it.
A monoplane is an airplane that has
one plane or wing. a biplane has two
and a triplane has three. Next time
you see an airplane notice what kind
is andesee what else you can learn
about it.
