NO V. F. w. MEMBERS

Local Post of Veterans Denies Ale gation That They Are Taking
 Places of Railroad Shopmen.

It was learned at a meeting of Priv ate Walter J. Smith Post, Y. F. W. last evening that none of the mem- bers of the local post are strike breaking on the railroad. A number of the members have been asked, as the outcome of the statement made by the official of the railroad that the majority of the men who have been secured to work in the places of the strikebreakers are ex-servicemen whether or not any members of the local posts were employed in tn>' ca pacity.
 formal denial that any of the members were acting as strike breakers stated that there were no members of Private Walter J. Smith post, Y. F. w. working in the shops of that railroad. It states however. that any member is at liberty to &C., cept a position in the place of the striking shopmen If he so wishes, as that is his personal business, and nothing that concerns his standing in the post.

Washington, Aug. 12.-This is the year that Sen. Frank B. Brandegee sits back and enjoys the amenities so to speak on the gridiron and had to keep stepping throughout that strenuous campaign. The life of any campaigner this year Is bound to be lot tanner than it was In 1920 with practically nothing but the good old tariff ritual to repeat, and for Sen. Brandegee it is bound to be simply matter of few perfunctory speeches here and there. The Sem ator is not candidate this year and can afford to take it easy, possibly enjoying the efforts of his colleague. Sen. Mclean as he attempts to ex- plain the multitudinous blankh in the republican party's record of achieve ment
 Sen. Brandegee Is to contribute his mite as a keynoter at the re- publican state conven'ion in New Ha- ven. Sept 12 He has been asked by the republican state Central com. mittee to deliver the opening address of the convention at the Hyperion theater on the evening Of that date. II is known that there is still some resentment on the part of Sen. Bran dogee and his friends because of the little interest shown by Sen. Mclean in the outcome of Brandegee's rather desperate struggle in 1920 but it is not expected that the feeling will lead the gentleman from New London to refuse to address the convention that is to renominate Mclean at New Ha- ven next month.

KEITHS BANS ALL
 PROHIBITION JOKES
As Result Many Performers Must Change Acts-Samc Applies
 to Political Comedy.

New York, August 12.--All refer ence to prohibition, whether serious or humorous. have been stricken from jokes, songs and batter con- Keith vaudeville circuit. This ban includes the affiliated B. s. Moss and Proctor circuits and practically makes 1t impossible for actors to refer to Volsteadism on a majority of the var. iety stages of the United States. A like order has been In effect on the largest Western vaudeville circuit, the Orpheum. for a considerable time.
 A general letter, signed by E. F. Albee. president of the Keith circuit. has been sent to each house man. ager in which it is directed that the ruling be rigidly enforced. As a re- suit, it Is believed that fully half of the comic specialists operating In the East will be forced to rearrange their offerings, substituting dialogue of different nature.
 Patrons of the playhouses, 1t Is understood have complained so per sistently of the great number of vaudevillians who ring in joke or gibe or a sentimental wheeze based on the dry law and it's enforcement that the management decided 1t was of the best interest of every one concerned that a strict regulation be made.
 Such acts as that of Raymond Hitchcock will suffer as a result of the ruling. but it was admitted gen. erally among actors and managers that the variety stage was becoming flooded with prohibition references and that the order would be compiled with without protest
 One of the lines which Mfr. Hitch- cock considered best in his mono logue last week was this:
 Prohibition? Why, I think it's good thing. I hope to see it come back some day.
 The order from Mfr Albee also contained paragraph asking his players to refrain from discussing political matters on the stage. This Is one of list put into effect in the last two years by Mir. Albee.

RAIL PARALYSIS
 COUNTRY FEARED
West, North and South Yitally
 Affected by BrOtherhoodS

Chicago, Aug, l2, (By Associated Press) The strike Of rail shop crafts employees today had adopted a still more threatening aspect today as the walkout entered Its seventh week. Paralysis of railroad transportation in various sections particularly the far west, northwest and southwest threat ened as "big four" brotherhood men abandoned work or called meetings to consider quitting in protest against presence of armed guards on rail- road properties or against handling allegedly defective equipment. The trainmens walkout started when crews tied up trans-continental sante Fe trains in the California and Ari- zona deserts and freight traffic on the ElNn, Joliet and Eastern outer belt line for the Chicago steel and shipping districts and gradually has taken on importance during the last 24 hours.
 Object to Troops.
 switchmen joined engineers, fire men, conductors and brakemen in protests against working where troops, deputy United States mar shals and other guards were on strike duty. Clerks on the Santa Fe coast lines were authorized to walk off their jobs if they considered conditions un- satisfactory.
 Members of the big four brother hoods in Texas were called to meet at Waco tomorrow to determine what to do. They previously voted to strike.
 Other Roads Affected.
 Early today the trainmen's strike had spread until it affected among other roads, the Illinois Central at Memphis, the Louisville and Nash vile at Evansville, Ind, and Madi- sonville, Ky; the Denver and Rio Grande; the Wabash and Mobery, Mo-; the Union Pacific and Oregon short line at Pocatello, Idaho and Salt Lake City and the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas.

wow! RUSSIA GETS
 SIS FOR A STEAK
Restaurants Charge Ezorbitant
 Prices for Meals

Moscow, Aug. 12.--After one or two visits to Mcscow's newly opened and gay summer cafes, foreigners vis- iting Russia usually retire to their rooms to a diet of crackers and cheese and franticaly telegraph home for more money. The Russian capital has become probably the most expensive city in Europe from the standpoint of living costs to the for eigner. Jnblushingly the restaurant proprietors furnish third rate meals and demand prices which an Amer ican summer resort hotel in the height of the season would not even consider. American war profiteers were blushing, shrinking violets in comparison with Moscow's get-rich- quick trillionaires.
 Two young Americans went to one of these restaurants and ordered beef steak, Tn omelette, a bottle of near beer and two small cups of cof- fee. The check was the rube equiv alent of SIS. Four others ordered small portions of ice cream decorated with a strawberry and a thin slice lTOHl pear. lHtlT CHSCk was Sb. But it cost them another dollar apiece in entrance fees just to get into the place.
 High Taxes Cause.
 The restaurant proprietors say that high taxes and the high costs of operation make these charges neces- sary. but their customers suspect they are trying to make back in one sum- mer all the money they sank in re- modelling and equipping their cafes.
 Russians by the thousands pay these prices without complaint, for they also are spectators. billion rubles day. or about s25n, Is con- signed 8 poor turnover for these spectators
 Foreigners, however are in a diff ferent position. First of all they must pay the high hotel prices, for they cannot find accomm odations elsewhere, and when they buy rubes they have to give up real money for them, while the Russians seems to pick them off trees.

KIWANIS FIGURES
SHOW NEED HEALTH
WORK IN AUGUSTA

AS a starting point in its health
drive, the Augusta Kiwanis Clul,,
working through a committee headed
by Kiwanian Ernest A. Gray, has
collected the following statistics with
the cooperation of the State OF
Maine Department of Health.
Comparing the six cities, Augusta,
Bangor. Waterville, Portland, Lewis
ton and Sanford, the records show
that deaths from typhoid fever per
thousand of population run as fol
lows: Bangor, 80, Augusta IA,
Portland 10, Waterville OF, Lewiston
.06 and Sanford .007. Deaths from
tuberculosis, Bangor las, Augusta
1.35, Waterville 30, Portland IS.
Lewiston .06, Sanford sc, deaths from
all sources: Bangor 1929, Augusta
22.46, Lewiston 1851, Portland 1922,
Waterville 1928 Sanford 1107, from
which should be deducted the non
resident deaths. which are especially
heavy in places having hospitals or
insane asylums, which are as fol-
lows: Augusta 9.2S, Bangor TIC,
both Of which places have hospitals
for the insane; Lewiston 3.4e, Wa
tervilIe 120, Portland 1874, each of
which places has a hospital, and
Sanford 80.
The net result of these figures
gives the number Of resident deaths
which are as follows: Bangor 1913,
Portland 14.43, Waterville 140S, Au-
gusta 1918, Lewiston 1906 and San
ford 1875.
The birth rate is always Of interest
so that too is included and is as
follows: Lewiston $3.50, Waterville
24.57, Sanford 1892, Portland 21.61,
Augusta PIGS, and Bangor 1871.
The infant mortality rates for the
various cities are Lewiston II, Ban
gor 10, Waterville and Augusta each
90. Portland 08. and Sanford .05.
The aim of the Augusta Kiwanians
is to make Augustus record the
very best of any Maine city and with
clean water. a clean city and in
formed people. the goal should he
reached if a real united effort j:
made to bring good health to the
city
