AT the RiaIto. Newark

Our own Dougles Fairbanks is
seen in robin Hood" at the RI
alto in Newark for an indefinite run
He is just a little bit better than
you expect, for you know that N
Imaginative Land there really is a
robin Hood" and, besides, you
are aware that only person could
properly portray this wonderful
character on the screen and that
person is Doug.
The most striking thing about the
predictions that the beauty in
composition, in photography, in the
massiveness of the huge sets which
suggest so powerfully the iron age
of English chivalry. is not confined
to individual bits. Every single
scene is a delight to the eye, even
while the stirring action grips the
heart and carries one along to
truly toyous heights.

New York, Nov. 15.-The Redskln

tute, of Kansas, boasting the high

teams, has arrived in New York for
it's first eastern exhibition against
the strong Quantico Marine eleven
at the Yankee Stadium Saturday.
The Indians, although losing to
Minnesota by a single point, rolled
I'D a total of 376 points and expect
that total to pass the 400 mark be-
fore the season ends. In John Levi,
EOS pound fullback and captain, they
claim a triple threat star of ability,
rivalling that of Jim Thorpe. Levi
gave an exhibition of passing and
kicking at Yankee Stadium today,
which excelled anything of it's kind
yet shown here. His forward passes
were accurately thrown for distances
of so to 20 yards and his punts
travelled 60 to IS yards.
In addition, the Indian lineup
boasts several other notables. FL

Forbes charges of improper conduct
by committee counsel, stated that he
expecteded ito prove convincingly
the whole truth of Mortimer's charge
that Colonel Forbes was one of the
gang Of conspirators who were tied
together neck and jowl to defraud
the government" He added that he
expected further "to show that this
criminal conduct was in consonance
with his previous life record"
Then insistently and rather sharp
ly at times Organ put question after
question to Forbes about his meet
ings with officers of companies which
got contract for veterans hospitals;
his alleged relations with Mrs. Elias
II. Mortimer, wife of Forbes princi-
pal accuser; the divorce obtained
from him recently by Mrs. Kate
Forbes, and about charges Of drink
ing parties in Washington and other
places.
To all the charges of improper
official or private conduct and of
drinking and carousing, Forbes en-
tered specific denials. Time and
again Organ asked him to swear to
his answers. But he remained I'M
shaken and appeared to be calmer
than he was during his direct exam
ination. AS on yesterday and the
day before he repeatedly contra
dicted testimony of Mortimer whom
he characterized as wife heater.
He asserted that once he had found
Mortimer beating Mrs. Mortimer in
the Drake Hotel in Chicago and that
on other occasions he had seen "evi-
dences" of similar attacks.
Forbes said Mortimer had found
him and Mrs. Mortimer in an apart
ment at the Wardman Park Inn in
this city, but declared that the door
was '"wide OPEN. At another time
he said that he probably was bit
indiscreet" in permitting Mortimer,
who testified that he then was seek
ing hospital contract, to accompany
him on official inspection trips around
the country in 1922.
Organ sought to go back into
Forbes early life history. The for
mer director told him that he had
no objection to the production of the
official record of his service in the
Marine Corps when he was. young
man, but chairman Reed said the
committee would enforce a previous
ruling that it would not hear evil
dence relating to Forbes before his
appointment as director.
| The ruling was made when Organ
began questioning Forbes about the
divorce action brought by Mrs.
Forbes at Seattle, Washington, on
last October 6. James S. Easily
Smith, caunsel for the witness, OBJ
jected. saying he could not see that
this was material and after con-
ferring with counsel the committe
announced it's decision.

Noted M. ID. Adds
His Word for Dry
REGIME in America

Boston, Nov. 15-The taste of al
coholic liquor is acquired and not
basic and so long as the United States
has an adequate supply of pure wa
ter there exists no real reason why
prohibition should leave the land,
DIR. William J. Mayo of Rochester,
Mimi, noted surgeon and physician,
in Boston, attending the dedication
of the Thorndike Memorial Labra-
tory, an addition to the City hospital,
said tonight.
Doctor Mayor further asserted
that the curative value of alcohol is
over-estimated and it's use for med
icine overdone.
"The native American of Anglo
Saxon blood is a water drinker by
nature" Doctor Mayor said. 1.-THE
| bootleggers and traffickers in Illicit
LIQUOR are usually of continental Eu-
, ropean blood.
"Out my way, in the west, prohibi-
| ton has done a great good among
| the Anglo-Saxons and descendants OF
| Northern European races. which
have had good supply of pure wa
| ter to drink for centuries"
| Doctor Mayor declared pTOHiDittol
| possible only because of the plentiful
supply of water available.
IAN adequate supply of pure drink
ing water has led to prohibition. After
| Vienna had utilized pure drinking wa
| ter from the mountains for 10 years
! the per capita consumption of alcohol
ic and fermented drinks was reduced
spontaneously 40 per cent" he said
and added while scientists contrib
uted largely toward prohibition in thi:
/ country, prohibition was not possible
until supply of pure water was al
| hand.
"In the older countries OF Europe
water is so unsafe that the prudent
| traveller drinks the native wine and
beer as being the lesser Of two evils,
! he continued.
"These countries cannot hope to have
prohibition until their sources Of water
! supply are above reproach."
THE southern and central European
has had to drink something beside the
native water, it is So rank. N yor
boil his drinking water you will make
i it safe. but otherwise there is far from
/ an adequate supply of pure water
abroad. That accounts for the uni.
versal wine and beer drinking ovel
there and the wine and beer taste
which European continentals brought
here as immigrants"

Waterville, Nov. 15.-The Coburn
Classical Institute eleven put in their
last scrimmage Of the season on seav-
ers Field at Colby College this after
noon in the final preparation for the
coming prep school State title game
with Westbrook Seminary which will
be played on the college field Saturday
afternoon. Coach Haines and Vale
drove the Maroon men all afternoon in
spite of the bitter wind that swept
across the field and accomplished much
in readiness for the crucial game OF
the season.
This afternoon the 'stute lads were
given a tough scrimmage which con-
sisted entirely of line-bucking by Shan
ahan, Western and Khourey for the
first team. and Read. McCroary and
Minnehan for the seconds. The heavy
push that Captain Shanahan uses. COM
hined with the fast end runs or
Ihourcy, rushed the ball down the
field time after time against the sec
onds until Coach Haines gave the sec
ends the ball for unlimited downs.
Team + was not able to push the ball
ZIP the field either by line bucks or on
aerial passes. The Maroon backfeld
proved to be onto their job when 1t
came to breaking up passes OF the
seconds, and several times McCroary
was forced to hurry the ball when
Adams and Lowell rushed him down.
The first teams line was like stone
wall for the seconds and they could
do little gaining.
In the game Saturday Coburn will
pin her hopes on the fast and hard line
buckng backfeld. which will consist
of Western and Khourey. with Captain
Shanahan as the hing-pin. All OF the
Coburn gains this year have hceh
through that method and Coaches
Haines and Vale have developed re-
markable backtield of three fast men
with plenty of weight and fight. Cap
tain Shanahan will be called on to do
most of the booting for Coburn and 1t
is expected that he will maintain his
usual style in getting off long punts.
With two fast ends in Martosky and
Fielder and punter of the ability OF
Shanahan, the Maroon shold be able 10
keep the bail we'll down the field IN the
game.
All of the Haines men are in excel
lent condition for the coming battle
and will fight the entire game for the
coveted State prep school champion
ship with the Westbrook lads. Iomor-
row afternoon the 'stute men VIII run
signals and have light workout on
the dummy as the final polishing off
for Westbrook.
1t is expected that there will be a
large crowd witness the game Saturday
as there is no other game of any I'M
portance in the State and there is gen
orally something doing every minute
when Coburn and Westbrook meet on
the gridiron.

Why "Keep to The Left" I'M England

For centuries the bulk of the
traffic in England was borne by lines
of pack horses over roads that
were little more than bride paths.
Riding, not driving, was the popular
means of progression. and as the
rider naturally mounted on The left
side of his horse, this side gradually
became his side for starting and
stopping. and also the side to which
he would draw in on meeting anoth-
er traveller in order that his sword
hand should be nearer the possible
enemy.
With the coming of real roads and
carriages. drivers carried on in the
same way. The next step was to
build the drivers seat on the right
side of the box instead of on its
centre, so that it would be easy to
see that he was pro- erly clearing
the wheels of a passing coach. So
the rule of the road grew UP, to be
officially. recognized in the highways
act of 1886.

appear to indicate that the great

From January to April the number
of new policies written increased
steadily. A record was established
in April when $4,000 new policies
were written, exclusive Of renewals
or extensions of existing policies.
From May to September, new bust.
