Scholars Study in Scotland
To Found Monastery Here

! fer of some individual. AS Benedic-
tines they will be exclusively under
the control of the superior of the
order in the United States.
The Benedictines are picturesque
and efficient. They were established
with the central idea of -ordinating
religion with concentrated work for
common purpose. Any particular
to suit the particular type of work
in hand.
At the time of it's establishment.
about the time of the fall of the
Roman empire, the order devoted it
self to agriculture, raising the gen.
eral standards of cultivation through
out Europe during the dark ages.
1t was largely by the work of these
brothers that the ancient Latin manu-
scripts were copied and preserved
through the trouble period from the
crash of Rome to the renaissance In
Europe after the crusades.
Services of Order.
The religious life of the order con-
sists of services in which every monk
takes part at stated times every day.
The rules provide for eight hours OF
steady work in the laboratory or
study between hours for services. 1T
was this feature which appealed
especially. to the scholars now in
Scotland in deciding that none of the
monastic orders now established in
Washington was entirely suited for
their purpose. 1t was decided to es-
tablish the monastery here because
of the excellent Catholic University
laboratories, the Congressional LII
brary, the library of the surgeon
general and the opportunities for
study at the various hospitals.
The group has in mind an institute
which will do somewhat similar work
as the Rockefeller Institute its per-
manence to be guaranteed not by
financial endowment, but by the sta
bility of the monastic life. The men
will be united with no worldly or
financial interests, but solely to toll
for human progress.

nosA In Splendid Shape Between
Here and Quebec and Also from
Down River Points

A general survey of highway con-
ditions In this section ARE that the
roads for the most part are In very
good condition. The roads from here
to Bingham are excellent and likewise
the roads through to Strattpn. Auto
mobile drivers coming into skowhe-
gan from Augusta Tuesday reported
road conditions for some seven or
eight miles between Wateryille and
Augusta az rather unpleasant for
driving, because oil was being APP
piled at that time.
The reports from the western part
OF the county are that the roads from
Athens to Cambridge via Harmony
are good. The Harmony-We Wellington
bridge Is up and the Harmony-st Al
The road is good from Harmony to
Ripley.
Extensive repairs have been made
on the roads in West Athens section,
which have been very rough for some
time, the freshet of last spring hay
ing made them 4lmost impossible.
The Rhines road, so called, leading
west from ]. c. Kipcaid's. to Rhines
Corner, which was In terrible condi-
ton has been improved beyond all
expectations under the supervision of
the third selectman, w. r. Tibbetts.
The bridge at Kingshury Mills is be-
ing repaired under the instruction of
Fred Judkins of Guilford.
Information from Jackman states
that the road from Jackman to the
boundary line In charge of Andrew
Holden Is in very fine condition at
the present time and that Mr.. Holden
Is also building a very fine piece of
state aid road in Sandy Bay Planta-
ton. A special report to the state-high-
way commission from Supervisor Lib
by, who has charge of the road be-
tween Bingham and the Quebec boun-
Diary line, by way of yackman, Is of
similar purpOrt and states that this
road is In the best condition that it
has ever been and safer for travel
than at any former time.
The commission did considerable
work on this road last year in West
Forks and Sandy Bay Plantations,
widening and crawling narrow
places. This year the commission is
working at West Forks and Johnson
Mountain and also in Jackman Plan
tation. The work Is kept passable
for traffic at all times.
There are few narrow places be-
tween Bingham and The Forks, In
Moscow and Caratunk Plantations,
but by careful driving one can nego-
tiate these places In safety.
The drive up the Kennebec valley
is one of the most beautiful in the
State of Maine. 1t is the direct road
between Augusta and the city of
Quebec.

In securing Mice People. so soon
after its appearance on Broadway,
Director Whiteomb has accomplished
theatrical ten-strike. The. piece Is
still being played on the road with
Miss Francine Larrimore, who was

comb saw 1t when 1t was playing In
the metropolis and made arrange
ments to get 1t Just as sopn as 1t was
released for stock presentation.
The story OF Nice People" reyolyes
about young girl, raised In society
and accustomed to getting what she
wants. She lives the life of the aver
age debutante of today. with all its
silly little habits and its purposeless
customs. She finds herself in a
compromising position, as result Of
her own willfulness. Then comes
the real boy who Is destined to change
the entire course of her life. To tell
more than that would be to spoil the
enjoyment of the play.
This play has been especially Sc
lected to afford an opportunity for
Miss Catherine Willard and Miss Jes-
samine Newcombe who have not as
yet had parts to display their excel
lent dramatic ability, which has made
them both SO popular in Boston at the
Copley Theatre. Until they see this

Extipguisher Is Effective of Fire

Elliott Spear, formerly of this town,
now representative OF the Spear
Guardian Fire Extinguisher gave a
very clever demonstration at Fair
view Park last week during the
Fourth OF July celebration. He hrst
had q large piano box which was
filled with various materials which
had been soaked in gasolene and kerr
osene oil. The match was applied
to the contents of the box which was
isnited and the flames rolled up in
large volumes. A handful or two of
his powder from the FIVE pound pail
quickly settled the flames which was
a wonderful demonstration. He
then took tar barrel which had been
coated over with shoe cement and
applied the match to the barrel
After the flames had assumed a good
sized blaze a handful of the powder
extiQguished them in less than five
seconds, which was a most wonderful
demonstration of fighting fire. The
powder is sold in five pound pals
and the contents of the pail Is enough
to extinguish large size fire.
Mr.. Spear. the inventor OF this pow
der, Is stopping in town with his
father, Edward Spear and will be
here for . time and will be pleased &c
give farmers and others who own
buildings o demonstration.

OUR MOTHER

Gone, yes gone; how happy she will
be;
Just took her Heavenly Fathers hand
And crossed the Golden Sea;
Now she'll watch and wait for loved
ones,
In her robe of snowy white,
Where we're told there is no sorrow
And no dark and stormy night.
In fancy l can see her kneeling
In her last beseeching prayer,
AS she prayed for all her loved Ones
And left them in His care.
And in dreamland, as she wandered
Perchance clasping His strong hand,
Our loving Savior called her
To that far-off distant land.
In our weakness oft we question
Why He gives this sudden call
No doubt 1t is warning message
TO be ready, one and all.
Many friends and loved ones gather
ed
To bid a last and fond farewell,
While sad hearts seemed like 40
breaking,
And the thinest tear-drops fell
Gone, but not forgotten. dear one,
To our Fathers home ON high;
Our mother still will be our mother
Until the day we too shall die.
And then with Christian smile the
same,
She'll meet us ON that shore,
Where trouble, sin and sorrow,
Forever will be DER.
She Is not dead Just gone away
From the dark night and dreary day
Now safe from all that hurts or harms,
She rests, our mother rests
Beneath His tender, loving arms.

chosen teachers. Culture and char
acter are certificates of graduation.
Even Jesus Christ, who brought glad
tidings, passed thru crueifixion-the
uttermost pain--to the uttermost
pleasure, the worlds throne.
This splendid wife, mother, grand
mother, like all worthily lived lives,
needs no words Of special eulogy that
are human. Enough the Heavenly
Fathers approval "Well DONE" Tho
for some years, she was frail In
health the best OF care by devoted
husband and constant thoughtfulnes
by her faithful children, enabled her
to get much Joy out of life, and to
have her even as long with them.
Compensation and comfort In part at
least, is to be found in the fact that
she made not only the best but the
most of her strength and opportuni
ties, daily. A devoted neither, faith
full neighbor. helper In many worthy
causes in the communities where her
lot was cast; of sterling worth in
Christian character and faith, her un-

ness "out of my tears"

MY SHARE IN MAKING
THE HIGHWAY SAFE

By Theodore Poole, Pontiac, Michigan.
In a game each person has his part
to play. Let us think of the task of
making a nation safe as q game in
which each has his place to fill and his
bit to do.
One might suppose we children
have very little to do with the safety
Of our nation, but we are the coming
generation and in our time shall up
hold better and safer highways.
As in q game, there are rules to
follow. These things we must do:
Always observe traffic before cross
ing street.
When walking on road keep to the
left to meet on-coming vehicles.
Learn automobile signals to know
what q motorist means to do.
When alighting from a street car
stand still until sure of safe way to
the curb.
Help those in need.
Keep close to the curb when riding
bicycle, and give correct signals
when turning.
Thus we shall spread our safety
interest and information.
Now come the things we must not
do, rules just as important If we are
to play the safety game.
Don't hurry! Most accidents are
caused by the desire to save a few
seconds.
Never play in the streets nor dash
before moving vehicles.
Never jay-walk.
Never steal rides.
Never make q blind dash across a
throughfare.
Never stand in the street while
waiting for a car-you are safer on
the curb. One cannot always stand
on his rights.
A child's part in this Safety Game
is to keep from being tagged" by an
automobile. In the many automobile
accidents in which the driver is blame
less, pitifully large number Of chill
dren are victims.
