Amundsen VIII
Carry First Mail

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 2S-One OF
the most spectacular chapters in the
annals of world wide postal delivery
may be written when Captain Ronald
Amundsen, famous Norwegian eX-
pl0r2r, wings his way across the top
of the world in his proposed attempt
to fly an airplanc from the tip or
Alaska to Northcrnmost Europe via
The North Pole. With him in his
monop!anc Will ride n mail sack con-
tanning letters written by Nome resi-
dents for delivery to friends in
Europe.
If weather conditions had not
forced a postponcmcnt of the fight
until next year, these letters might
have reached their destination week
ahead of the time required to make
delivery by the established routes.
As it is, arriving perhaps more than
a year later, they will have a price
less historical value to their re-
cipients who will doubtless follow the
affairs Of their explorer postman with
intensified interest.
According to a IMPORT by Postmas-
ter Walsh of Nome to local postal
officials, the letters were written
when Capt. Amundsen was about to
depart from the mining camp on his
way to Wainwright, 100 miles south
west of Point Barrow, where he will
winter awaiting favorable conditions
! for his proposed flight.

Thousand S. S.
Workers Expected

Upwards Of a thousand Sunday
eenooi workers are expected to at.
~1sho IN whole or in part the annual
convention OF the State Sunday
scnooI Association which will be
neio IN Augusta, Oct. II, IS and 10.
special rates obtained on the rail-
roads as we'll as the willingness of
the churches Of Augusta and vicinity
TO entertain delegates on the Har-
ward plan will encourage a large at
tendance. The business Of the con-
tcntion will consist in the election
u oilcers OF the Association, the
adoption OF a budget for the coming
year and the presentation Of the re-
ports OF the Secretary and the sup
erintendents Of the various depart
ments.
one of the special features Of the
convention will be the thorough dis
cussion of week day schools of re-
hgion for the instruction of boys and
girls in religious subjects. The fact
that p million Of the Protestant
children OF the country are as yet
unenrolled in any religious school
mas aroused wide interest and COM
ment. The fact also that SO times as
much time is devoted to secular ed
ucation as to religious has caused
much dissatisfaction among church
people In many sections Of the
country, however the problem is be-
, ing met by week day schools Of re-
hgion in which the children and
Young people are taught during the
Acaool day, Bible lessons. Some of
lie most successful Of these schools
are in Gary. Indiana, where Miss
Mary E. Abernethy has charge of
this type of religious education. Miss
Abernethy has been secured to come
to the Maine convention and will be
one of the principal speakers Much
interest will attach to her addresses,
and to the conferences which she
will conduct.
Another method Of religious teach
ing which the convention will en-
plastic will be that Of music and
paGeantry A large chorus of child
rem will exemplify the use that can
be made of classic music in the
teaching Of religion. On the closing
night Of the convention a pageant
will be given. This will illustrate the
importance of Christianity for civil
cation. The costuming will be most
elaborate and the entire setting very
impressive. The pageant to be used
was first produced in Toxic, Japan
at the Worlds Sunday School Con-
vention and has since been given
with great effect in several places in
America. The pageant will he given
in the City Hall. DR.. Daniel l. Gross
of Woodfords will preside at most of
the convention sessions. The Gov
ernor Of the State will extend greet
ings. and it is expected that on one
evening Congressman Carroll L.
Beedy will deliver an address. Near
ly score of prominent Sunday
School leaders and educat tors Will
take part upon the program.

to equip the machine with . loose
pulley or in not shutting down the
mill when the machine needed OIL
ing. A jury might well find that the
mill foreman knew of the necessity
of oiling the machine during each
half day run.
Upon this issue 1t was question
for the determination of the jury
whether. under existing conditions,
the defendant had exercised reason

safe place in which, and a reason

by an employee in the course of

would exclude the defenses men

declaration must allege that the
plaintiff belongs to the class Of en-
ployees who are within the Act.
Although ~the injury may have
been received in the usual course OF

employment Of the Injured person Is

declaration to say that it sufficiently

plaintiff was one of the employees

Upon the facts. the plaintiff was
regular employee; the defendant
knew that to be true, and could not
be misled by the pleadings or sur
prised b. the proof; it was conceded.
Under such circumstances an obJec-
ton that the declaration failed to
alIece that the plaintiff was an en-
ployee within the statute, not made
until after the evidence was closed,

ruled

tions clearly indicating the intention
Of the pleader to institute an action
AGAINST a non-assenting employer by

allowed; it simply made the declara-
tion more formal.

employment was question for the

Bewildering Array at
GregOire.P eilegrini

No one need blame any woman for
INDIGESTION on visit to the Grcgoire-
pellcgrni Hat shop. The array. OF
new fall millinery presented at their
opening yesterday was one that
might we'll bewilder because of the
beautiful showing OF new models.
Large trimmed hats seem to have
tho call for the most part and they
are to be seen in a variety Of shapes.
placks are extremely popular, but
browns and tic new wood shades
have their favorites. Velvet pre-
dominates for the material.
1t would be difficult to imagine
anything moro pleasing than some OF
the sport models, for there seems an
infinite variety. On the Meadow
brook creations burnt peacock and
coquc feathers are used in a most
effective manner with ornaments OF
platinum effect.
A mighty stunning sport hat at the
shop is a Rawak model Of brown
felt. Broad velvet ribbon is woven
through the sides of the crown to be
caught in a large bow under the wide
hrim and on the side. Almost as
stunning is Il Bell-Art model in the
new wood color trimmed with mar
row ribbon of tinsel. Dark brown
yelours with leather flowers in a
lighter shade are also effective. Vel
vet hats share the honors with the
velours and they come in all colors
and models. especially in the new
stitched mode.
A most striking color is the new
mignonotte green which is most har-
monous with brown and especially
with fur trimmed coats. Orleans
blue IS another favorite shade for
dress hats: the latter are usually
trimmed in silver or platinum ef-
feet.

unanimous action OF the City
Council, and introduced in the

providing for a bond issue for
making permanent street I'M
provements in Annapolis. is a
step in municipal progress that
deserves hearty support. Any
objections there may be 10 the

terms and provisions of the mca-
sure itself, are fully met by the
referendum feature. which leaves
TO the qualified voters OF the city
the final decision. In this way
the citizens will be enabled to sec
precisely what streets are To be
paved, the amount allocated for
each. and can calculate to a Ger
tainty what the cost will be
Permanent street improve
ments are one OF the chief assets
OF any city, and i'll the long run
are always an excellent invest
ment. 1t is. OF course. out OF the
question TO obtain improvements
OF this nature by direct taxation,
SO that the city has to choose be-
tween letting the streets go UNI
paved for an indefinite number of
years. or putting them in condi-
ton now by means OF a bond is

Legislature gives the opportunity
10 the citizens to make their
choice on this important question.
