The plans for the ice hockey rink
which is to be built on Williams
Field have been completed and the
men from the Central Maine Powr
Co.. have been busy putting in the
light line so that the rink may be
properly lighted. g.. !
The rink will be 200 feet long and
.125 feet wide. The hockey rink
which will be enclosed in thiss sheet
of ice will be $50 feet long and 70
feet wide and will be enclosed by a
board retaining wall two and a half
feet high. This will give q skating
surface rs feet wide all the way
around the hockey rink so that the
spectators may skate and watch the
game. There will be nine, large
lights suspended by wires over the
hockey rink which will insure good
lighting over the entire surface.
The surface of the ground will not
be broken to make this rink. The
water has already been piped to the
grounds and as soon : as freezing
weather arrives, man will be on
the ground night and day playing
water on the arena which is to con-
tain the rink. The ice win be built

Senator Wheeler told his audience
that in both the United States and in
Europe public opinion is largely "a
manufactured article-the output of
propaganda factories"
Asserting that the day of the great
personal editorS-the Greeleys, the
Danas, the Storys and the Wattersons
is gone, Senator Wheeler declared
that with a very few notable excep-
tions the magazines and newspapers
are either owned outright by the great
industrial and financial interests or
controlled through the advertising pat
ronage."
"This is not a criticism of the pub

secured from general advertising pat

control of public opinion.

the flood of propaganda that fills the
public press and distorts public
opinion"
Senator Wheeler declared the rem
cdy for what he described as the evils
that have befallen the press lies with
the public itself.
"As long as the public expects to get
a daily paper for two cents or for five
cents" no continued, there will be no
improvement in the character of the
press The public will get just what
the interests that put up the money
want to give. Nothing else. If the
public wants newspaper or magazine
to give it the truth it must pay for it,"

part of Mr.. Wheeler head Of the
Wheeler household which proved to
be very hard to manage. Cora and
Bobby Wheeler the two children
played b. Miss Idora Beatty and
Lindsay Varnum were well fitted for
their parts and playei them exceed
ingly well. Clarence tn emysterlous
soldier kept the audience in laugh
ter with his dry remarks. Another
character that proved as usual an
excellent actor was Eddie Baxter
playing the part of 'Dinwiddie the
butler. Mrs. Martyr played by
Hazel Richie, Violet Pinney played
by Miss Louise Gates. Emily Heath
as Mrs. wheeler. Eva Jackson as
Della and Clarence Hale as Hubert
Stene all aided in making the cast

of the plane are subject to the con-

In test of this apparatus a plane
was started on 20-mile flight with
out human being in it. 1t attained
a height of a mile and half in three

Whole fleets of planes could be
