8. 6 P. w. Club Elects Delegates for
State Convention

The May party Held on Thursday
night at the Belfast Business and
Professional Women'S Club was q
most enjoyable affair. Mrs. Harry A.
Foster was chairman and was assist
ed by Mrs. Herman II. Coombs and
Miss Adelia Cook.
Supper was served and after the
tables were cleared away there were
stunts, contests and games. Follow
ing this was a business meeting,
after which auction was enjoyed.
Miss Isabel CHM, treasurer. read
a report of the financial status Of
the club. Thus. far $500 has been
received in membership fees, $40
in gifts. and Sd. 10 from card par
ties. The disbursements include
S13o for State dues. 500 for furnish
ing room, leaving ST. in the treas
ury. For club not six months old
this record is an enviable one, for
its headquarters are equipped with
everything necessary for comfort
and convenience. Mrs. Lillian NJ.
Pattee. chairman of the program
committee, reported activities to
June list. 1t was voted to have a
vacation from that time until the
first of September. so far as social
business meetings will be called on
bylaws. A sports committee. to be
appointed by the president. will look
after the social activities during the
summer months, planning out of
doors affairs whenever possible.
With the exception of bad wash
outs in some of the streets Belfast
is about the most fortunate city in
Maine, for during the past few days
when the others have suffered a
loss of many thousands of dollars
owing to the floods, there has been
practically no damage here. The
Belfast branch of the NJ. c. r. r.
had no trouble that has interfered
with its running time and take it al
together. Befast has much to be
thankful for.

STRUGGLING WITH A FLOOD OF
LAWS

No way having been found prac-
ticab!c for lessening the grist OF new
laws incubated by ambitious State
Legislatures, the decisions OF state
and Federal courts being inter-
minable, the confusion Increasing at
an alarming ratio, rescue work be-
comes imperative. For this purpose
the American Law Institute was or
ganized last February. The Carnegie
Corporation contributes $1.075.0OO to
finance the work for the next ten
years. This is begun with a view to
having t. work continuous with the
demand. .
Even the lay mind is capable of
cOmprehendinG the need Of simplifi-
cation and greater clarity with re-
spect to the law and its administra-
ton and has little patience with the
mischief occasioneC by confusion and
ambiguity and will approve the benc-
faction which has made this under
taking possible.

beautiful hair to thousands Of
women? Simply the use of Olive
Oil in the shampoo! Hair specialists
say that hair should never be washed
without it. For it keeps hair, from
dry, brittle dullness. You can have
this luxury at home now, cheaply.
Just get bottle of PALMOLIVE
SHAMPOO-at any drug or de-
partrnent store. Use it but a few
times and you will. marvel at the
lovely sheen it gives to your hair.

cRIPPLEs AND AUTOMOBILES

If an unfit person be licensed to
run an automobile and a death re-
suits from that unfitness. the grantQr
OF the licese shares in the RESPONSE
bility. though under the law not in
the punishment. This is unfair, not
only to the one improperly licensed,
but also to the public which is i'm
pcrilled thereby.
A subscriber sends in an editorial
from the New York Herald COM
menting on an accident caused by an
automobile of which the paralytc
driver had lost control. 1t was found
that he was utterly helpless as to one
leg and partially 80 in one arm and
had been thus crippled from child
hood. His infirmities were pleaded
In his behalf before the court but
were not taken into consideration and
a sentence of four t, six years i'm
prisonment was imposed.
But the responsible party, the State
of nnsylvania, except for having to
bear the expense OF the imprison-
ment, went clear. Our subscriber
thinks this matter worthy of atten-
ton and remarks: "In Maine they
license, one-eyed. one-eared, one
armed and one-legged." He asks:
"Yhat do you say about it?"
We would say that we have seen
one armed and one legged drivers
with whom we would prefer to ride
than with rome perfectly sound in
wind and limb; they were sound as
90 the head. soundness by the way
which is very essential but If insisted
upon would result in relieving the
motor congestion on our highways
VERY materially.
The State endeavors to obtain evil
dence from trustworthy parties as to
the ability of these licensees to prop
erly control car. This should be
thorough; done and the authorities
evidently think it is. Certainly the
y burden Of proof rests heavily on the
person who Is physically defective yet
comes with request for privilege
that usually requires all the arms and
legs with which Nature endowed man.

. This part of the country has been
noticeably free from accidents" in
cident to hazing affairs but Chicago
is having its attention brought to the
matter very unpleasantly, to say the
least. Last week a student was
killed in an automobile accident at
tendant on class fight and now the
bones of a student who mysteriously
r. disappeared a year ago have been
brought to light under pier on the
. lake front in Evanston. Conditions
In the eastern colleges indicate that
success has attended effort to elimi-
nate brutality from hazing in large
degree. The example is worthy Of
notice in the midwest it would
seem.
