Warns Sons Not To SpecuIate

Alderman Louis s. Cohen, a FORM
er Lord Mayor of Liverpool, has left
91,192,1OO the duty amounting to
994,S97.
In his will he says: II advise and
Deseech my sons not to engage in
speculation on the stock exchange or
otherwise. Money made by specula-
ton is sure to be lost and leads to
further loss and disaster.
1t is also my earnest wish that no
son of mine shall, while engaged in
the business now carried on by Lewis
Ltd. and Bon Marche (LiverpooD,
Ltd, or either Of them, become a
candidate for or a member of, Par
Lament or any municipal council or
district council or any local author
ity."
Another paragraph Of the will
states: Il have a strong conviction
that intermarriages between per-
sons OF different religious beliefs tend
to great unhappiness; and it is my
earnest wish, which I am confident
will be regarded, that no grandchild
or remoter descendant of mine shall
forsake her or his religion or marry
person that does not profess that
religion.
"And I also hope that no grand
child or remoter descendent of mine
Will marry any person who is not a
subject of the British Empire or of
the United States of America."-Lon-

this method:-Measure off two table
spoonfuls for each member Of the

Took All Sorts of Chances

The Muscovite who was driving
our Benz over a Persian mountain
pass had the most original method
OF descending mountain side that
l have ever seen.
Instead of putting his clutch into
second gear, he would shut off his
power entirely and then go charging
downward at terrific speed, the big
car lurching from side to side to the
precipice bordered road like a run
away locomotive.
The ordinary curves he took on two
wheels, presumably to save rubber,
but when we were within a few yards
of one of the hairpin turns with
which the road aboupded, with
nothing but emptiness ahead. he
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-02-02

would suddenly jam on foot and EN-.
Urgency brakes simultaneously, thus
locking his rear wheels and causing
the stern of the car to skid around
the corner.
And sometimes, at the narrower
places, where the outside of the road
ended in "a drop into nothing below
you as far as a begger could spit" he
would give us an extra thrill by
gripping the steering wheel with his
knees so that he would have both
hands free to light cigarette.

The Legislature often fails to make

To the S1st Legislature of the State of
Maine:
During the past two years in many
public addresses l have referred to
the State Contingent Fund. and have
stated that the existence of this Fund
In it's present form is not in accord
with modern methods of finance. Dur
ing the period in question the EXecu-
i've Councillors and myself have been
very reluctant to approve payments
from this Fund. I desire to have the
Legislature fully understand the sit
uation, so that each member will know
just how this Fund has been handled
by the Governor and Council.
At my request the State Auditor has
made a tabulation of all payments
made from the Contingent Fund during
the past two calendar years. These
total S1,159,703.91. OF this amount
$256, 117.19 will be or already has been
