Now that Maine is planning to ad-
vertise extensively the attra ctions
which it offers tourists. it should not
be forgotten that there is no state in
the country which Is better adapted
tc camps for boys and girls, says the
Bath Times. Maine is already the
site of many of these Summer camps
but more are being established every
year and they should be located in
Maine. This nationwide advertis-
ing for the State has great possibii-
ties and should work wonders in the
returns which it will bring. Had it
been delayed few years longer,
Maine would have found itself losing
hundreds of thousands of dollars
every year. just because it did not
awaken to the situation in time TO
prevent the loss.

MANY LIVES LOST IN
FIRE THAT DESTROYS
HISTORIC HOSPITAL

ROME. May 1S.--A disastrous fire
swept the historic hospital of Santo
Spirito, one of the most ancient and
picturesque charitable institutions in
Rome, early today. Collapse of the
pavement isolated the chronic ward.
Sixteen bodies had been extracted
from the burning ruins at 1880
o'clock.
As the immense wooden beams of
the hospital fell, there was heavy
grinding noise and the pavement COL
lapsed, burying 20 of the chronic
patients, and rendering access to the
wards impossible.
Carahipeers. royal guards. nurses
and doctors made heroic efforts to
save the patients, rushing through the
smoke and fire and bringing out 12.
all OF whom, however, were already
dead.
Several of the rescue parties were
injured. Two wards were DESTROYED
but the firemen saved the rest of the
building.
