Expect No Pennant.
TN one thing DOME Bush will
be more fortunate than was
- Zeb Milan q year ago.
When the Washington club
broke camp at Tampa ON Easter
Sunday, 1922, it was q potential
flag-winner. One alleged expert
had picked them 70 win the
American League championship.
Dozens had named them as con-
tenders, with excellent chances Of
winning the title.
This year it is doubtful if any
alleged expert will be so foolish.
The other day Nick Flatley, the
Boston writer, in discussing the
recent trade bringing Ruel and
Russell to Washington, went so
far as to say that Clark Griffith's
team might easily reach the first
division, if things happened to
break right.
Mr.. Flatley, n most satirical
writer at times, may have been
poking fun at Washington. He
has done it ere now, and rightly,
too, by the way. But it is unlikely
that he has gone so far as to
believe Washington will finish in
the first division this season.
Bush's team may hop into the
first division. We sincerely hope
it does. We shall exult, and you
shall share our Civilizations, if
such happy result is experienced,
but not till the curtain falls will
we do much exulting, no, not
after last year.
Bush has nothing to lose and
all to gain. So far as known, his
hands will not be tied. He can
try anything and if it fails he
can try something else. All Of
which is a whole lot.

Connie is the greatest manager

Rommel. "He knows more baseball

could go out there on the field and
do what Connie tells US to do, we'd

that means! Every one of the

called regulars Is a pal Of every

HELEN NJ. SMITH KILLED.
Former Bar Harbor Editor Struck by
Automobile in Boston.

Miss Heleh NJ. Smith of Sullivan, a
former editor of the Bar Harbor
Record, was struck and run over by
an automobile in Boston Saturday
evening, while returning from call
on a friend, and died Sunday morn
ing in the hospital to which she was
taken. The automobile that struck
her passed on without stopping
Miss Smith retained consciousness
Just long enough to give her name
and address,
The news of her sad death was a
shock to her many friends in Han
cock county. Miss Smith began news
paper work in Bar Harbor about
forty years ago, with the Bar Har-
Dor Herald, and in 1887 established
the Bar Harbor Record, which she
edited and published successfully for
about twenty years. In connection
with the Record, she later estaD
lished a summer monthly Bar Har-
Dor Life, which she continued to edit
for several years after selling her in
terest in the Record, which later was
merged with the Bar Harbor Times.
Miss Smith was a talented writer
anu an energetic newspaper Noildl'
one of the first in the profession in
Maine. During recent years she had
been much handicapped by i'll health,
Since her retirement from active
work, she had spent her summers at
her Sullivan home and her winters in
Boston. She had a wide circle of
friends and acquaintance.
The funeral was held at the First
Parish church, Chestnut Hill, Bos-
ton, on Monday. The body was
brought to Sullivan for interment.

Coolidge on the Constitution.

ITO live under the American Con-
stitution is the greatest political
privilege ever accorded to the human
race" says President Coolidge.
THE Constitution of the United
States is the final refuge of every
right that is enjoyed by any Ameri-
cap-citizen. So long as it is observed
those rights will be secure. When
ever it falls into disrespect or dis
repute the end of orderly organized
government as we have known it for
more than 1875 years, will be at hand.
1.-THE Constitution represents a gov
eminent of law. There is only one
other form of authority, and that is
government of force. Americans
must make their choice between these
two. One signifies justice and lib
erty; the other tyranny and oppres-
sion. To live under the American
Constitution is the greatest political
privilege that was ever accorded to
the human race"

Heating Dwellings Satisfactorily,


The efficient operation of home
heating plant depends ON many
factors, including proper construc-
tion of the chimney flue, proper in
stallation, a thorough understanding
Of the plant in order to get maxi
mum return from the fuel used,
tight house construction, correct
degree of humidity. and good ventila-
ton. says the Division of Agri
cultural Engineering of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The problems of construction can
be solved only by a skilled builder,
while experience is the best teacher
as to satisfactory ways of handling
the individual home heating plant.
The other factors however. can be
controlled with'a little careful atten-
tion at the start of the winter season.
Cracks around doors and windows
and leaky floors waste a great deal of
heat in the average house. Under.
conditions of moderate temperature
and wind the resulting air change is
not Objectionable and does not ma
terially affect the operation of the
heating plant. But when snow or
rain is driven before a wind of
twenty-five to sixty miles an hour, if
window and door cracks permit, the
air Will change four or five times
more rapidly than it should Many
people try to remedy this by shutting
off the rooms on the windward side
in an effort to force the heat into the
other rooms The only sure cure,
however, says the department, is to
use storm sash, wood and felt
weather stripping OF metal stripping,
and calking materials to fill in the
cracks and to make the house COM
Portable in all kinds of weather,
The proper degree of humidity is
another factor in heating the home
that requires careful consideration.
Investigations have not proved def
nitely what are the best conditions as
to temperature and moisture for our
dwellings, but rough practical test
for determining whether the air in a
room is too dry is to observe the in
side Of windows on a cold day. If
frost forms freely on the inside of
the glass there is no doubt but that
the inside air has sufficient humidity
If there is no sign of frost the air is
likely too dry.
The degree of humidity and the
amount of ventilation both have their
effect on the operation of the home
heating plant, The proper amount of
each is best determined by expert
ence and individual conditions, as a
rule.
