There is a possibility that whereas
one church in Portland has been turned
into a theatre, it may come about that
another theatre may be turned into
church, even if for a short time only.
Following the announcement that the
jefferson theatre is to be closed in a
short time. comes request from re-
lgious body in Newark, n. j., to know
what terms they can make for hiring
the theatre to be used by them for
series Of evanselistic services Whlch
they say will last six weeks.
G. Frank Stevenson of Eastport,
seventy years of age, has just been
engaged in painting the $50 foot bel
frv of the Unitarian church of that
CITY. Mr.. Stevenson was a trapeze
and horizontal bar performer in his
Younger days and the training
this work gave him for his hazard
Gus business of later years is recog-
nized by him today. He is always IN
demand for painting high stacks and
belfres, and feels as much at nome
there as the ordinary person does
standing on the ground. He is in
class by himself in his work, IN
which he is often assisted by his son.
Three New York firms that import
large quantities of pulp have been
looking up facilities to ship through
Portland. Should storage facilities
be found there, it is probable that the
shipments of pulp might extend over
a period of three or four months. and
the number of steamers coming here
with cargoes from Scandinavian
countries would be sufficiently large
to provide many longshoremen with
considerable work
Even though the Augusta audience
was not given the opportunity to see
Sousa, when Sousa's band appeared
here at its most previous engage
ment, the following is of Maine inter
ticth annual tour at Albany, n. Y,
last week. The tour will cover a
week in Montreal; several weeks in
New England, and five in Philadel-
phia. Sousa has travelled 100000
miles with his bandsmen in the past
seasons, five times to Europe and
once around the world.
Conductor Tressi, a we'll known
musical director in this country, and
voice specialist of European repute,

hanncsburg, South African College Of
Music and of the Symphony Orchcs-
ira and produced in Johannesburg Is
grand and comic operas inside Of
three years, and with local talent
only. 1t is his intention to put on
grand and comic operas during the
coming season here in Portland en-
listing tho services of local talent.
The principals will be chosen from the
| ensemble, regardless Of what teach
c" they are studying with.
That the world is small place aft
eli all was amply demonstrated when
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Patterson, who
have made the tour across the coun-
try by auto all the way from San An
tonic, Texas, met Mr.. and Mrs. II. NJ.
| Orchmann, also from the Lone Star
state, in the lobby Of the Windsor

AIE we're cropping our way across the street inter

of a moonless midnight when we were startled by the
rattle of the dead arc-lamp above us. Then we heard
the creak of the pulley that held it and we knew that
somewhere close to us in that dark stiffness was a man
feeding out the rope to lower the lamp to the street
level. We waited and watched. Presently a flash lamp
was laid on the ground and revealed the lame lamp
and its doctor. By the dim reflection we saw him place
a platform which he presently mounted and then went
to work.

CHRISTMAS is coming. Can't
Ayou see the twinkle in the eyes
of those kiddies? Can't you hear the
pit-a-pat Of their anxious hearts when
they awake in the morning to make a
rush for that stocking? And the joy
when they examine it, the thrill of the
anticipation, the delight of a wish
fulfilled, the pure red blood, sent
coursing through the veins of the little
manakins that II of these days are
goin' to help run the country. Think
of the privilege of being able to create
happiness of this kind, and to mould
little men and little women into bigger
and broader beings. Christmas is the
most glorious opportunity of all the
year. Come to think of it, why wait
why not make a little Christmas in
the home every once in a while. Dates
don't rnatter. Most likely the date OF
Christmas isn't correct anyhow.

COINAGE VALUES .

The United States gold dollar con- tains 25.s troy grains. The ordinary avoirdupois pound contains 1000 grains, therefore S1,00O,00O in would weigh 36s6.4 pounds avoirdupois, or over ton and quarter. There be- ing no troy ton all gold and silver have to be weighed by avoirdupois and com puted into ounces troy. The standard silver dollar now in use in the United States, contains 412.5 troy grains, and $1,0O0,000 in silver will weigh 57,931 pounds, ,or nearly 2SA tons. When metal money is counted" in the Unit ed States treasury it is shoveled onto the scales and weighed, the loss by sweating and friction being account ed for as loss, but so far as the coins are concerned their use is unabridged unless they fall below certain value.

WHERE ARE ALL THE
 STUDEBAKERS GOING?

Upon mention of the great number of Studebaker Cars being produced every day, one not infrequently hears te following query: What do they do with all the cars?" The more imaginative of those of us who work at the plants may have carried our innaginings so far as to have pic tured the Emperor of Siam in his Big Six, or coffee planter of Brazil in his Special-Six, or an Australian business man in his Light-Six.
 There is hardly town or hamlet, worthy of the name, in the United States but what as its Studebakers- not Studebaker, but Studebakers. In Long Pond, Maine, for instance there are thirty families. The Wateville Motor Company, studebaker Dealer at Skowhegan, Maine, has sold ten Studebakers in Long Pond.
 Studebaker cars are being shipped to every part of the world. Every day sees shipments marked for Australia, South America, Europe, Africa, or the, Far East. According to M. F. Rigby, Export Advertising Manager, an entire trainload of Studebaker Cars left our factory at Walkerville, Ontario for the port of Montreal where it was shipped to Great Britain. This shipment was, as far as we know, the first complete trainload composed entirely of one make of automobile to be shipped from Can ada to Great Britain, or any other foreign country
 Following is a list of places in the United States to wich cars were shipped in one day. This list was se- lected at random from recent daily reports of shipments in the United States: na
 Atlanta, Ga; Birmingham, Ala; Knoxville, Tenn; Tuscaloosa, Ala; Bangor, Me-; Boston, Mass; Glouces- ter, Mass; Waterville, Me-; Lewiston, Me-; Brockton, Mass; Syracuse, N. Y; Salamanca, N.

MAXWELL SPORT TOURING ANNOUNCED
 BY BLACK & ELLIS

Te latest offering of the Maxwell Motor Corporations Sport touring car" fully equipped in all that the phase implies and selling at less than . thousand dollars-bids fair to rank equally as sensational as the intro duction of the New Series Good Max well a year ago.
 The new Sport car", will be dis played in the show room of Black & Ellis, local Maxwell dealer, is intend ed, it is announced, as fitting corn- panion for the present Maxwell with the additional rakish features and equipment so much in demand among those who seek style extremes and extraordinarily snappy performance.
 So far as recorded, in later years at least, it is easily the most completely equipped car of its type ever offered to the consumer at less than the f thousand dollar figure. ......... '.
 It is an attractive car that gives evidence of genuine artistry in car design and appointment as we'll as careful consideration of the owners requirements. The body and hood are painted Chester Hunt Red, with run ming gear and disc wheels in black. Drum-type head lamps and tie-rod, parking lamps, radiator, and water meter, are all finished in full nickel. Outside door handles are also nickel with black aluminium inlay. An alum mum bead runs around the hood at the cowl and lends touch that rounds \ out the impression of completeness.
 The upholstery is genuine long grained patent leather of high finish, snd the top, which is extremely well made is ollve-drab duck two-ply with rubber insert-ra new material recent ly adopted by makers of much high CT priced sport models.
 The equipment on the sport tour ing car includes a spare cord tire which is encased in an envelope type olive drab duck tire cover which is fitted with glove fasteners and nickel strap ring.
 The left front fender is specially designed and counter-sunk to receive the tire.
