is Installing at te Weston power
plant on the Island. from the Maine
Central station to the plant. They
EaVe hauled it with their I.i.n trac-
tor, which weighs five tons and is
90 horse power. The fourth unit
is to be somewhat larger than the
other three. which are 1900 horse
power. the fourth unit is to be $4,000
horse power. of which the tranform-
er weighs - tons and the water
wheel ten tons. There were seven
other sections of machinery which
weighed from five to eight tons.
These were all taken from the fiat
cars on which they were shipped by
de"rIckS and attached to the tractor
and dragged through the streets to
the power plant. making the trans
portatiOn cheaper for the Central
Maine Power Company than if they
had been placed OH sleds and drawn

The dress most often worn is the
simplest one ard usually It's the
one easiest to don and the most be-
coming.
Challis was at one time consid.
cred appropriate chiefly for a dress
for grandmother. Now. it's jCrt
the opposite. The lovely designs
are youthful in every detail and
some delightfully."- smart frocks are
seen in challis. The dress illus
trated. for instance. is taken out OF
the sports type by means CT its
lace-trimmed collar and cuffs: vet
4. carries all the distinction OF a
sports one piece dress. even to the
pockets.
Challis dresses. because the fab
ric is light in weight should always
carry generous hens and never be
skinny looking Especially is this
a wise precau,ion because the wool
variety has the habitual trait for
shrinking.
The figured silks. as we'll as Gre
tonnes, offer additional materials
for this dress, and tailored silk and
linen collar and cuffs. fer these
dainty Georgette and Irish lace
trimmed ones.
Straw hats augur we'll for popu-
larity. but only In rare cases are
they used without the addition OF
a fabric. White Canton crepe is
used in this model for the facing.
the soft edge-fold, and the smart
floral motif that serves as it's only
trimming.
