To the Honorable Senate and House
of Representatives of the S1st
Legislature
l return herewith without my ap-
prevail,
RESOLVE in Favor of a Bridge Be-
tween Rowland and Enfield"
This Resolve is one OF several re-
lating to bridges that doubtless will
be presented to me. There are cer-
tain features involved in one case
that are not found in others. In the
case before US the bridge is between
two towns bordering on the Penob-
scot River. Repeatedly during the
last two years these towns have ap-
piled to the Governor and Council for
aid to repair this bridge. ,The Coun-
cilors and myself have gone into the
matter carefully on each occasion.
have looked into the valuation OF the
towns and have made inquiries as to
their ability to raise money to keep
the bridge in proper repair. We have
been satisfied that. the towns are in
position to handle this situation
and consequently did not take money
from the Contingent Funu as re-
quested.
In one OF the towns there is a large
pulp mill and it's heavy trucks cause
most of the wear and tear on the

Beauty Dehests Differ To-day
Some people are short-sighted
enough. to: criticise the woman Of
today for the time she uses to make
herself attractive. II these critics
had been fortunate enough to have
attended the exhibit at the Art Cen
ter IN New York City Of the Houbi-
giant Collection Of seventeenth and
eighteenth century perfume con.
tainers and toilet accessories, used
by women OF the time OF Marie An
toinette back to 1910. in the reign
of LOUIS Thirteenth, they would
have seen 40 through a telescope

women Of yesterday and those Of
today is that Habit and Fashion re-

The Captain, Preacher, and Parrot

The Captain, Preacher, and Parrot
4 certain sea captain once had Il
parrot which he used to keep in his
cabin. One day some sailors passed
under an open window in which the
the parrot was sitting. One of them
said: "Give me a piece, stingy. .
The parrot remembered that.
One day the ship was caught in
a heavy wind and was travelling
pretty fast. The captain was shout
ing: ''We re making 90 knots, we re
making 90. knotst' The parrot re-
membered that.
\ few days later the ship stopped
with a jar, and the captain shouted:
"We've struck a sand d-bar; we We
struck a sand-bar.' The parrot re-
membered that.
About a week later the captain
sold the parrot to a preacher, The
preacher had company for dinner
that night, and while they were eat
ing the parrot says, Gimme a
piece, stingy.'' That made the
preacher mad so he grabbed the
parrot by the neck and threw it at
the wall. While it was going through
the air it yelled, "'Were making
90 knots And when it hit the
wall sqawked, "Ch, we struck a
sand-bar, we struck q sand-bar,'

leading roles in the week end pro-
grams of the Palace theater, in a

nize the places. The cast includes
many well-known actors among

posite Miss Talmadge as her leading
man. According TO Miss Talmadge
"Duley' is synonymous with

ma Talmadge in the leading role.
This is a revival, one of a series
which will feature Miss Talmadge

Blythe Complains
About Service of
Sierras Power Co.

The city of Blythe, Riverside
County, has filed complaint with
the Railroad Commission against
Southern Sierras Power Company
charging that electric service OF
that utility has been inadequate.
The answer of the company, filed
with the Commission today, while
admitting that there was unavoid-
able interruptions of the service,
due to engine trouble, states that
prompt measures were taken to cor
rect this trouble. The company
further states that the deficiency
in the water supply of the city of
Blythe for domestic purposes and
fire protection is due to the made
quate reservoir or tank capacity of
that water system. 1t is set forth
that the tank capacity is limited
TO Il supply sufficient to serve the
inhabitants of Blythe for period
of not to exceed One-half day, and
is wholly inadequate i'll case of fire.
