BELFAST
Several Moose
Attract Attention
Walking in Streets

Moose in the streets OF Belfast
walking casually along on the side
walks at midnight is a sight not Of
ten seen, but this did happen on Sat
urday night an dearly Sunday morn
ing. Mrs. c. w. Jennys Of Cedar
street hearing a commotion looked
out the window just in time to see
two moose, side by side, come down
James street, and take the sidewalk
at Cedar, following it to Franklin.
She called DIR. Jennys who also saw
them and next morning their tracks
were plainly seen by others. Several
moose have been seen in the county
of late, proving that they are herd
ing here and one carcass was found
recently in East Belfast, the beast
having evidently been caught in a
barbed wire fence. The moose seen
on Saturday night were undoubtedly
q bull and COW, according to the
tracks, although in the moonlight.
lt-ond the fact that one was much
larger than the other 1t was impos-
sible to tell. e.

The Belfast delegation returned
from the State Federation COnven-

and over the cordial reception ac-
corded them by the Bangor Club, the
members of which left nothing I'M

for when the members arrived home
they found that quite unexpectedly.
the clubrOom had been visited by a
number of the Portland delegation
on their way home. Unfortunately
there was no one at the clubroom to
greet the visitors, which would not
have happened had any one been
aware of THEN coming. The club
deeply regrets this and hope that
another tTe visitors will telephone
ahead. even if they are only passing

only few minutes Belfast wished
to lie on hand to greet them and

Western Drama, Comedy, News and
Adventure at the Opera House
T@I.u

Edward HooD Gibson isn't like
himself. in one respect, in "Kindled
Courage" the Universal production
showing at the Opera House. He
doesn't run and jump onto a heaving
saddle and he doesn't tame a single
wild mustang of the western plains.
The divergence of this picture from
the western standards of previous eff
forts proves that Universal Is trying
to give this popular young star all
the scope in the world for variation
in his portrayals. Beatrice Burn

PIGGLY DIVIDEND MONEY BORROWED
Saunders Ordered To Produce Books involving Handling
 Of $15,000,00O

MEMPHIS, Oct. 1S.-Stock divi- dends declared by the Piggly Wiggly Corporation in December of last year were paid with borrowed money, it was brought out today during the hearing of Clarence Saunders re- csivership suit before c. L, Marsil- liott, federal master in chancery.
 Mr. Saunders testified that the executive committee declared the usual dividend and four days later the board of directors met and found no funds in the treasury with which to meet the dividend payments.
 Earnings for the year, he said, were found to total approximately $400, 1000, four times the amount of the dividend and he borrowed suff- cient money to pay the dividend. He defended this action of the board, de- claring the earnings and not the amount of money in the treasury de- termined the payment of dividends.

MILK PRICE JUMP IS LIKELY HERE
Rise In Cost Of Stock Feeds And Lack Of Pasturage
 Hits Diaries

Higher prices for milk is the new economic threat hanging over Bir- mingham, it became known Thursday morning, and a return of 10 cents a pint and 20 cents quart rates are anticipated, according to dairymen. Long lack of rain, decimating the pasturage, and the doubling, almost of many sorts of stock feed prices are the causes cited. Some brands of hay are reported to have increased in price from $2S to $4S ton. Pre- pared feeds in some instances, have advanced from $40 to $60 ton.

U. s. Body Intervenes To End Differences Pending At
 New Orleans

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The Knitted States shipping board prob ably will intervene tomorrow in an effort to settle the differences be- tween the dock workers and ship owners operating out of the port of INew Orleans, it was stated today ! The material interest held by the government in tho situation was de- clared sufficient to warrant inter- ivention.
 This was expected to follow the procedure recently taken in a similar interruption of ship loadings at Norfolk, Va. There the dock i workers held out for 80 cents an hour while the owners insisted on 65 cents as a maximum.
 ] Through the influence of the board a compromise scale with 75 cents an hour as 8 base. was agreed upon.
 NEW ORLEANS. Oct .1S.--The United States shipping board through its local agent, c. J.

URGES MENTAL TEST IN MARRIAGE CODE
Would Eliminate Mentally Inferior
 Children, Says SOciologist

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 1S.-Passing of an intelligence test as a require ment for marriage can be looked for within ten or twenty years, accord ing to Prof. F. A. Ross, of the Uni versity of Wisconsin faculty and nationally known sociologist.
 The mental test probably will be a part of marriage code, much as the physical examination is now in many states, Professor Ross said.
 Parents give their children their mental qualities as well as their physical characteristics" he de- clared Tt is just as necessary to preserve the mind standards of the next generation as it is that its bodily health be safeguarded.
 q believe that proper intelligence tests, properly used, will enable so- ciety to prevent largely the birth of children mentally incapacitated, who will later be liability to the na- tion."
 The proportion of mentally infer for indvidI als is increasing in the United States. Professor Ross said. '',The means of combating this ten- dency towards a lower level of in- telligence is to place restrictions on children of parents of low mental caliber."

Horner Says Recommenda- tions Of Underwriters Are
 Now Being Carried Out

Carrying out the recommendations of the National Board of Under writers for improved water supply in case of fire, and the taking over in the immediate future of the Roebuck water supply system were two things announced Thursday morning by H. H. Horner, vice president and general superintendent of the Bir- mingham Waterworks company.
 Tn fact" said MT. Horner, emany of the recommendations of the un- derwriters have been carried out al- ready and others are in progress of installation now"
 At Roebuck the company is laying 24,000 feet of new mains to supply that vicinity, entailing an expendi- S21000 to be exact. The Roebuck Springs Land company has its own water plant. The Birmingham Waterworks will supply the commu- nifty in the future by means of 15,OO0 feet of twC-inch and 5000 feet of siX-inch mains.
 In the report on fire protection in Birmingham submitted a week ago by the experts who surveyed the city last spring for the National Board of Fire Underwriters, it was pointed out, in regard to water supply, that several areas in Birmingham were inadequately cared for, because of absence of mains, smallness of mains, low pressure and friction due tc distance.
 City Commissioner W. l.. Harrison, under whose supervision for the city, come public utilities, has heard many conferences with MT. Horner during the past two years and along with the other utility problems MT. Harrison has settled, that of water service was taken up as interestedly mobilization of the street car com pany and its departments of public service.
 Harrison Is Pleased.
 MT. Harrison stated Thursday he was more than glad to note the in- troduction of impressed pressure service than even enlarging of mains, for high pressure service, In some fires, is the equivalent of another bumper in the fire department.
 One of the paramount improve ments the company is now installing is a 16-inch main along pike road from Avenue F to Warrior road, Ems ley. The pipe for this Is on the ground and installation starts at once.
 On Avenue N, from Warrior road to Twenty ninth street a new eight inch main has been placed and Is in service.
 Delivery of pipe for a new line tn Avenue O from Eighteenth street to Twenty-first street has started. This is 12-inch main and is service to new territory.

 Asked whether the commission would consider the sending of "a frs of the month statement to the debtor nations, Mr. Mellon said he had given no thought to that phase of the situation. He recalled that one communication of that nature had been sent to all of the powers more than year agL ;Nd added thut he thought it was time for tie com mission to meet and discuss what lever subjects it's members may call up.
 Coincident with the call for the Saturday meeting, it was made known at the treasury that care- full survey had been made of the fi- nancial status of all of the foreign powers: The only official comment was that the commission wanted all the available facts and had been gathering them piecemeal since it organized after passage Cf the debt funding act. '..-'--
 Mir. Mellon refused to speculate on whether a second communication to the foreign powers advising of this governments readiness to enter into funding negotiations would result in a revival of constr rlctive efforts cn tn part of the debtors. He said any question of approaching the foreign powers would have to be handled Automatically and he had chosen, therefore, to maintain silence.
