Telephone in Bathroom,

For years hotels have been compel
Ing with one another to provide the

is only recently that anyone had enough
Imagination to think of anything so
sensible as telephone extension in the
bathroom. What is more annoying than
to have to get out Of the bathtub all
dripping and stand by wall tele-
phone? One hotel | saw recently has
two telephones in each room, one by
the bathtub and the other on stand
by the head Of the bed. Excellent
places for phones, but think how long
ii took for hotel men, even hotel men
with the best of intentions, to quit
putting them on the wall where a
guest can't even sit down. For that

phones in private homes were placed
where one could talk and be comfort
able all at once-Fred Kelly, In the

Switzerland, Sweden and Argentina,
until such time as will suffice to
cajole, browbeat and coerce France
to reduce reparation payments to the
vanishing point.
With this desideratum converted
into an accomplished fact Germany
would repudiate her worthless cur
rency, start afresh on a gold basis.
and speedily blossom out as the most
prosperous country in Europe.
One fly in this adulterated quack
salve is the contingency that France
declines to be cajoled, browbeaten
and coerced, and that she will use
the argument of the big stick to such
excellent purpose that Germany-to
save her shirt and her skin-will find
it expedient to recall the dollars,
pounds and other valuable moneys
deposited abroad, and with them pay
such measure of her debt to the
Allies as will then be due by the
terms of the Versailles treaty under
which Germany has placed her dis
honored signature.
France now dispenses with the as
sistance of her two most powerful
Allies for the collection of this just
debt. Yet it must be clear to Ger
many that she is in earnest--with
sinews of war braced and bowels of
compassion petrified.
There can be no retrocession. II
France should fail at this stage the
great war has been waged in vain.
Germany is the victor, and the recon-
quest of the Rhine and of her
colonies will be only a question of
time.
If not for Frances sake, then for
our own, and for that of outraged
humanity, let us refrain from any
word of disapproval to our comrade
or of encouragement to the buster
ing and tricky foe of civilization. Let
us at least give ear to the woods

OBITUARY.
MRS. FRED E. MORANG.


Many friends were saddened last
Thursday by the death of Mary E.,
wife of Fred E. Morang. Mrs.
Morang had been in frail health since
an attack of pneumonia last year.
Mrs. Morang was born in Ellis
worth December 8, 1875, the only
child of the late Charles M. and
Harriet Grindle JOY. She was mar
ried to Fred E. Morang on December
/, 1896, and had always lived in
Ellsworth. She was of quiet, retir-
ing nature, devoted to her home, but
drawing to herself many friends.
She leaves husband, one son, al
fred, and her mother who made her
home with her, and who is herself
much of an invalid. To these the
sympathy of the community is ex-
tended
The funeral was held Sunday af-
ternoon, Rev. G. T. Jones officiating.
In accordance with the wish of his
mother Alfred made the prayer,
which expressed the intimate under
standing and close companionship of
this mother and son. There were
many beautiful flowers.
MRS. ELLEN S. DONOVAN.
Ellen S., widow of John H. Dono-
van, died last evening at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Hollis E.
Davis, after an illness of only three
days. Mrs. Donovan was taken ill
Sunday, pneumonia developing, and
an old trouble of asthma and heart
Wpa kppcc h. ct opaI tbo pp6
Mrs. Donovan was born at Eden,
April l, 1856, and was the last sur
vivor of the seven children of
Nicholas and Nancy (Treworgy)
Thomas. Her grandfather, Nicholas
Thomas, was among the first settlers
Of Mt Desert, one of the signers Of
the Maine constitution in 1920, and
a democratic member of the first
legislature of Maine.
Mrs. Donovan came to Ellsworth
as a young woman, and soon after
ward was married to John III. Dono-
van, who died in July last. She was
one Of the oldest members of st. Jo-
seph's Catholic parish, and woman
of kindly generous nature, loved by
all who knew her.
She leaves one daughter, Mrs.
Davis, one son, J. S. Donovan, one
niece, Miss Florence Pettengill of
Waltham, Mass, who made her home
with her for several years, and six
grandchildren, all of Ellsworth.
The funeral will be held at St.
Josephs church, Friday morning at
9 o'clock.

Had Wronq Pair Shrinking.

She evidently was a new clerk in
the department store, and was doing
her best to please. The customer
asked to see wool hose. Two pairs in
a size she wished were shown her.
One pair was trifle larger than the
other.
The customer remarked that she
liked the smaller pair better, but that
she was afraid they were not quite
large enough. She wished they We're
the same size as the others.
The clerk promptly replied: "Oh
that is all right, madam. These, the
smaller ones, were made to shrink,
and the others were not. They were
made to stay the size they are

A New High School.

We print this week, on page s.,
cuts and plans showing one type of
high school building, approved by
the State department of education,
and adapted to the needs of ELS
worth. These plans have received
some consideration from the city
government, but have not been
adopted. Other architects will be
asked to submit plans. The plans
as printed will give the people some
idea of the requirements of a mod
'ern high school building, and open
the way for discussion and sugges-
ton
The question first to be decided is
whether to go ahead with the build
ing of high school this year, and
we believe the answer of the people
of Ellsworth to that will be yes.
The need is most urgent; the present
high school building is entirely in
adequate, and has barely escaped
official condemnation by the State
department of education. 1t has
been condemned enough to make
Ellsworth hide it's head in shame,
but the State department has been
lenient in view of the efforts being
made by Ellsworth soon to provide
suitable building.
The most important point to be
considered is the. financial one. The
city now has available a fund of ap-
proximately $4,000 for new high
school building, and it owns the lot,
The estimated cost of the building
shown in the plans printed is $685.
600; the city government believes
a suitable building can be built for
$4,000. With start of $40 900,
neither of these figures seems pro
hibitive. And so we believe the
answer of the people of Ellsworth
will be- build now.
And right here, at the risk of be-
ing charged with furthering some
ones political ambitions, we urge
the wisdom of retaining the present
city government for another year.
We have not consulted the members
of the city government as to their
desires-we do not know whether
they seek or will stand for re-elec-
tion-but we do know that to Mayor
Foster and the board of aldermen,
not less than to the Boosters club,
is due in full measure the thanks OF
the city for the progress so far made
toward a new high school building
They deserve. if they will accept 1t,
the honor of carrying this thing
through to completion. Ellsworth
should not "swap horses in the mid
die of the stream"

MRS. MARGARET B. KIEF.

Mrs. Margaret B. Kief died yester-
lin street, after an illness of a few
days, from shock of the throat and
brain. Mrs. Kief was never of ro-
bust health, and had many severe
illnesses during her life, her last ill
ness being probably due to weak
ening of the brain tissues by the re-
moval of a tumor from the brain
some years ago.
Mrs. Kief was born in Ellsworth
late John j. and Ellen Small Scott,
and had spent practically all her life
here. She was twice married, her
first husband being the late Frank
H. Partridge, and her second hus-
band the late Capt John o. Kief.
She never had children of her own,
but of six of the surviving children
of her second husband four found in
her a real mother, and in later years
have returned in kind the devotion
she gave them as children.
She leaves also three sisters, Mrs.
Annie Maddocks of Ellsworth, Mrs.
George H. Preble of Bar Harbor,
and Mrs. Benjamin S. Stevens of Au-
gusta, all of whom were privileged
to be with her at the end. The
death last summer of brother,
James Fl. Scott of Southwest Harbor,
was a severe shock to Mrs, Kief.
The funeral will be held at the

GOT NAME FROM TROJAN KING
hstory Professor Says Britain Was
Ancient Land Before the Land
ing of the Romans.

Professor Gordon, Merton professor
of English literature in the University
of Oxford, lectured to the English as
ISOLATION at the London School Of Eco
Monies on The Trojans in Britain"
and the report of his talk given by the
London Morning Post, sets forth some
statements new to the general public.
Professor Gordon said he found it
difficult to understand why so often the
history of Britain taught to schoOlboys
began with julius Caesar, for Britain
was quite an old land by the time the
were the Trojans, and Brutus, the first
British king, gave his name to the
island
Brute, or Brutus, great grandson Of
Aeneas, gave Britain it's first estab-
lished population since the flood. He
founded second Troy in Britain. On
his voyage he encountered sea monsters
known as sirens, which Godfrey mag
ined to be a species of whale.
Brutus landed in Britain, where he
found nobody but a few giants, whom
he rounded up in their caves. One
giant was clothed in furs made up of
the boards Of the kings he had killed.
Lud, one of the associates of BrutuS,
gave his name to London and to Lud-
gate. The Trojans represented the
best blood of Europe; hence it was
quite natural that Cymbeline's son
should marry a daughter Of the EN-
peror of Rome.

Candlemas day to the contrary
Notwithstanding, signs multiply that
the back of winter is badly spralned,
if not broken. This does not mean
that we shall have no more snow
and no more winter weather, but an
early breaking up of winter is pre-
dicted by those who place faith in
nature signs. For one thing, bears
have not denned as closely as usual
this winter, and have been wallowing
about in the snow. Comparatively
few of the winter birds from the far
north, heralds of prolonged spells of
severe weather. have been seen this
winter. More than the usual number
of robins seem to be spending the
winter with us. Robins in winter are
not common in this latitude, but at
the same time they are not rare.
This year. however, they have been
reported to us from all parts Of the
county We have even had reports
of Clocks" of robins, but we always
season that well before swallowing.
We always suspect that someone has
seen a flock of pine grosbeaks, or,
perhaps, the smaller crossbills.
