covered that the warrant for the
special town meeting in Jay, sched-

decide the location of the school if
it is to be built. and as interest is
keen in this subject. a large number
of voters had gathered before omis-

Government Members
Witness Proof of
Explosive Powers

Portland, May 16-Terrific de-
molishing powers of an exploded
hot water boiler, such as is used in
the average household. was realisti-
cally demonstrated at the Portland
Gas Light Company last night be-
fore an audience composed of five
members of the City Government,
and local stove dealers. plumbers
and architects.
f. A. Wheeler of the F. and c. B.
Nash Company, stove dealers, con-
Quoted the demonstration in an eff
fort to convince the five City Faith
ers members of the ordinance COM
mittee, that some sort of safety
appliance on all hot water boilers
is an absolute necessity.
This City has an ordinance. ap-
proved in July. 1922, which requires
safety appliances in all households
but efforts are now being made to
repeal the law on the ground that
such a requirement places an I'M
necessary expense on the average
family. The ordinance committee,
which has the matter under discus
sion. was invited to attend the DEM
onstration last night by the Portland
Gas Institute. an organization made
up of plumbers, gas company en-
ployees. stove dealers and architects.
This organization believed the or
dinance should stand as passed and
demonstrated to the committee by
means of an actual explosion that
safety appliances on boilers are nee
essary from the standpoint of public
safety.
The fact was brought out that a
boiler that gives way at 30 or 40 de-
grees above the boiling point de-
velops a destructive force of nearly
12OOO pounds pressure, enough to
completely wreck the average build
ing.
BY suddenly pulling a plug from
boiler heated beyond the boiling
point Mr.. Wheeler demonstrated the
power developed as the boiling
water meets with the cool air. The
water promptly changes to steam
and explodes. with deadly results.
Members Of the ordinance COM
mittee who witnessed the demon
stration were Aldermen Robert w.
DeWolfe and Geo. r. B. Allen,
Councilmen Edward Roy Monroe,
VIM. A. Derrah and Clarence A.
Brown. -+-

timber in the world. or these u.s.
100000 acres, 100000 are naturally

land that can never be farmed and
that is fit for nothing but for the
production of timber. Nowhere in
the world has finer timber grown
than grew on these 100000 acres.
The reckless logger with his con-
scienceless cutting, and the careless
camper with his unextinguished

years what it took Nature I'M
counted centuries to accomplish. To-
day six of those thirteen million acres
are absolute desert, as bare and
dreary and unproductive as Sahara

practically nothing will grow.-Lewis

Undertakes to Ask
Modification of
Enbalming Laws

Officers Of the Maine Undertakers'
Association and members of the
executive, legislative and legal COM
mittees met in this city at the Hotel
North yesterday to discuss plans for
the next two years.
The executive committee voted to
recommend to the members that
prices for funerals Of former soldiers
and their widows be made uniform,
that q maximum price be set FOR
their services throughout the state.
A protest was entered against the
double registration fee for automobile
hearses, ambulances and passenger
cars, used solely by the Funeral
Directors in their work feeling that
this extra tax was unjust. They also
objected to the style of plates used
and requested that special designa-
tons be made for these cars. This
matter also was referred to the
Maine Automobile Association.
The acts of the delegates to the Tri-
State meeting in Concord were APP
proved and legalized and the per
capita tax approved. Bangor was
selected for the next meeting of the
Maine Undertakers' Association the
dates to be August 5 and 16.
Recommendations were made to the
State Board of Health that their
rules be changed so that all bodies
shipped by common carrier should
be embalmed. This department also
was asked to modify several forms
now required for shipment Of bodies
so as to simplify them. They also
approved draft of a bill to be pre-
scented to the legislature on the care
and preparation of bodies for burial.
