BAR HARBOR HERE SATURDAY.
Next Saturday will be the big day
of this week in Ellsworth. The
$4,000 Bar Harbor baseball team
is coming to play what should be
one of its fastest games this year.
The game will open with Buster"
Williamson in the box instead of be-
hind the bat. Manager Frank Hor-
rigan has had Buster out develop
ing his twirling ability, and the is
land bunch will have a tough propo-
sition in getting in their usual hits.
Spike" Carlson will be on the re-
ceiving end, and when you get this
pair together, something is bound
to happen. Both these boys have
been playing a wonderful game.
If Ed German gets into his stride,
goodbye to some good balls. They
will never be found out in those
woods. Whitley" Ruane has been
playing a corking good game at
third, and puts pep into the game.
With his and Germans encourage
ment coming in from both sides. a
pitcher sure ought to know that the
team is right with him all the time.
Jimmie Fallon is a lively little
player at short, j and Frank Horrigan
says that when Jimmie hits his
stride at the plate he will surprise
some of you old-timers.

The class in advertising campaigns
enjoyed talk given by Frank Glynn
on some OF the pratical problems
which confront an advertising man
1t was really more of discussion
than talk, as Mr. Glynn had pur-
pOsely brought to class some
problems for the boys to discuss
The answers which the boys gave to
some of these problems showed a
keen interest in the subject and quite
bit of knowledge. despite the fact
that many of them have taken adj
yertising courses for only three
weeks. Mr. Glynn is assistant ad-
vertising manager of Houghton x
buttons department store in Bos
ton. and is spending his vacation,
whoch we suspect is also his honey
moon. in Ellsworth.

THERE is a certain type OF person

his friends shows familiarity with the
ways of the world. Let US hope that
these persons are those who have had
little chance TO get about. little chance
TO mingle with those who know how
things should be done-that they are
those who have never had servants Of
their own, and have had few friends
who numbered servants among their
possessions. Sometimes, unfortunate
ly. we meet women who have always
been used to servants who yet have
an overbearing attitude toward the
servants of their friends. We always
suspect that they gossip with their
own servants.
Now, in the big cities, at least, serv-
ants resent an appearance OF friendli-
ness of too informal Sart on their
employers parts. In their relation as
servant, especially where they have
specialized, they wish to assume a
deferential manner, just as they wish
m have their employers assume di-

game. They expect the same treat

FLORENCE

ELORENCE, signifying tiourishing'
i can scarcely be separated from
its quaint diminutive Flora, meaning
flowers. Flora in NEUROLOGICAL legend
was the goddess of the flowers, and
the festivals of Flora or Floraiia were
celebrated in the first burst OF spring.
In later times, the name of Florus
was formed from that of the goddess,
and is memorable as that of the proc
urator whose harshness drove the
Jews TO their .last rebellion. 1t is be-
lieved that the feminine Flora came
from this.
There is church at Florence of
Saints Flore and Lucilla, but other
wise the first instance of the name is
in Roman Gothic Spain, where the un-
happy daughter of Count Julian was
called by the Spanish diminutive
Florinda, and thus caused the name to
be so much detested that, while Span
ish ballads call her La Caya the
wicked, her Christian name was only
bestowed on dogs.
A Spanish maiden martyred by the
Moors brought Flora into better repute.
It became Flore in France, where it
was adopted as a romantic epithet,
and from there it found its way
to Scotland. In the Gaelic, it is
spelled Florie, as the island heroine
of the '45 wrote herself. Florentia
was a natural product, and named a
feminine saint martyred in Diocletian's
reign in Gaul.
The prevalence of the name Flor

CALLED OFF THE CONFESSIONS
East Indians Took Easy Way Out Of
Position That Seemed Some
what Difficult.

AT recent meeting of the British
Royal Geographical society, Sir Percy
Sykes told a good story concerning the
natives of Bandar Abbas, in India.
The first airplane TO fly over that
part of the country gave them great
deal Of alarm. They all believed that
the Day of Judgment had come, and
turned out in vast numbers onto the
plain and began confessing their sins
in a loud voice, among other things
relating how they cheated one another.
When the airplane landed without
doing any harm they were in an awk-
ward position, becatise they all knew
how they had cheated one another.
So they thought over the question for
a few days, and finally held solemn
meeting. at which they all swore that
whatever they had said on that occa-
sion was privileged.

les. Apart from antelope hoofs, tor
toise shells and porcupine quilts there
were large number of metal bangles
such as are worn as bracelets and

wire solved the mystery of the disap-
