There are a number of branch lines
on which the expenses are out of all
proportion to the revenues. The dis
continuance of some other branches is
now under consideration. 1t is posi-
bic that some branch lines operated at
a heavy loss under present conditions
may continue to give service by means
of some form of motor cars. The de-
Nelopncnt of self-propclled car for
use on rail lines has not yet been per-
fcctcd. We believe, however. that a
car similar to that with which we are
now experimenting has possibilities.
particularly as this type Of car can.
if necessary, haul a passenger car or a
freight car as a trailer. 1t should be
said. however. that the unit car is not
a universal remedy, as there are prac-
teal difficulties in substituting such
cars on many lines where, in some
cases. the freight, milk, express and
other traffic cannot be handled eco
nomically apart from the passenger
traffic. With the development of the
passenger automobile and motor truck
the carload freight traffic on many
branch Zines is much more vital to the
territory served than the passenger
traffic, or the handling of small pack
age freight by rail. and the commune

road hauling 5u-ton cars of coal than
they are in maintaining steam passen-

Study committee of the Y. w. C. AZ
was held in the assembly hall at
Foss Hall, last evening. Miss Louise
Steele, chairman of the committee,
gave a brief explanation OF the pur-
pose of this series Of discussions
and introduced Professor Newman.
The general topic of the discuss
sion is "Christian fundamentals"
The special subject OF the evening
was christian Conceptions of God"
by discussing the question:: Who IL
God? What does He do? There arc
several conceptions, the physical
form, God as all there Is, absolute
idealism, and a personal being ~
the universe. The latter conception
is the most common There are three
endowments in personality, tntelli-
gence, will and feelings. Through
his discussion Professor Newman
showed that man recognized SUI
preme, all loving, all-powerful, all
knowing Being, Who Is God. In an
swer to the question: What does
God do? He explained that the con-
ception of Gods work was in uphold-
ing the universe.
The meeting was most interesting
and there were SO present. The new
association song pamphlets were used
for the first time. The songs in this
pamphlet are those used at Camp
Mauua. Professor Newman was most
enthusiastically received and the
girls look forward with great deal
of pleasure to the remainder OF the
series of talks.

Coburn Notes

Basketball will hold the sport fans
interest at Coburn Friday night.
-Four games. three basketball, one
hockey. will be played on this night.
The first string basketball men at
Coburn will star their fireworks at
Westbrook and vicinity. when they
playe the Thornton academy five in
that place. Saturday night, the reg
ulars will take on the powerful
Westbrooll quintet in the Portland
Athletic Club gymnasium. for one of
Coburns big games Of the season.
Other Friday night games will in
clude a girls session with the Gen.
trail Institute ,paidens in PittSfield,
and a second team game at Unity.
The hockey team will play the
Bowdoin seconds at Lewiston on Fri
day night. This game is expected to
be a hair raiser. in view of the fact
that Bowdoin has been offering stiff
opposition to all Corners this season.
They fell before the onrushing Lew
iSton Independents some time ago
by a small score. 1t is expected that
Coburn will give them about all they
can digest in this one session.
Saturdays hockey tilt will be with
the Cony puckstcrs in the Capitol
city. In the first game Of the sea-
son. the Hainesmen turned the Au-
gusta boys back by q small score,
and ever since, Cony has been lay
ing to take the scalp of the Coburn-
ties.
Coburn's lineup for these games
will be as follows: Is. Drummond; c,
Council or Mitchell: NV, Capt. Rowe;
Id, Simpson or Lord; rd, Goldberg;
g, O'Brien. Other subs that are like
ly to get into the game are Richards,
who made his first appearance on
Coburn's ice. Saturday. scoring three
goals. Fleming, Minnehan. McLane,
Mathers. Hardy, Brown, and Ingra-
ham.
This will be about as busy week
as Coburn will see this winter. About
a week ago, Coburn had its hands
full with it's sports. taking part in
the Waterville Winter Carnival,
nevertheless they have signified their
intention of entering the Augusta
Winter Carnival which is to be held
Feb. II and IS. Whether Coburn will
enter many contenders is not yet de-
finitely known. 1t is thought by
Coach Ray Haines that practically
the same entrants will be listed as
those who were in the Waterville
carnival q week ago.
