small strong comeback by the X.

able. However, at this time the
Masons secured several spares and a
couple of strikes placing them safely
In the lead. Spectacular bowling was
quite conspicuous by Its absence on
either side but the score was so close
during the earlier part of the game
that it was d very interesting contest
TO witness. Leon Smiley was high

A cast of thousands of people, hun
dreds of machines almost human In
the operations they perform, and Il
500 100000 setting provide the back
ground for the film 1.-THE Story of an
Automobile" to be exhibited at For
esters Hall, Skowhegan, Feb. 81.
This film was produced under the di-
rection of the United States Depart
ment of Commerce in cooperation
with the Studebaker Corporation and
will be shown in all parts OF the
world. The scenes are laid in the
new $2O,OOO,OOO Studebaker plant at
South Bend. Ind. This romance OF
modern manufacturing shows as
commonplace happenings the wonders
of motor car manufacture such as
hydraulic pressure tossing four ton

feather, and this same hammer forg-
Ing white hot bars of the toughest

one operation--this bloc being held
by metal straps so that 1t will fit in
the machine in only one position
the correct one, which helps to ex-
plain the perfect interchangeability of
Studehaker parts. The story is a
fascinating portrayal of the miracles
of twentieth century manufacture. 1t
will interest anyone who ever rode
In an automobile. After seeing 1t,
you will appreciate why the repre-
sentatves of fourteen nations after
viewing 1t in Washington asked that
it be exhibited in their respective
countries. This city Is fortunate to
obtain this film which has been term
ed "the finest industrial film ever
produced" 1t is due to the energy
and courtesy of The Waterville Motor

that this film is to be exhibited free
