missioner of education and president

tional Associations, gave the key

WAR is too heavy a burden for
our civilization to bear" said DR..
Thomas. "All countries seem to
feel the same about it. The problem
of avoiding war, or at least reducing
the hazard, is the most serious sin
gle problem of the age. Neither for
ourselves nor for those who are to
come after us, do We wish to repeat
our recent experience. Some sort
of cooperation among the nations is
necessary.
Just now there is a confusion of
thought in this country as to the
best method of solving the problem
of world unity. There are eXtrem-
lists on both sides. We do not doubt
their sincerity, loyalty and patriot
ism. Their chief mission seems to
be to keep the masses level with
straight thinking.
There are those who would dis
arm without waiting for other ma
tons to join. They would make this
country an example. They would

had hoped to have the dedication
ceremonies early in June but there
have been some delays and It will
be postponed until August.
"All the work except that requir-
ing skilled labor, such as bricklayers
and others. has been done by the
prisoners. who as a rule have shown
a willingness to do their part. All
the buildings in the prison but the
easterly end will have been con-
structed new during my administra-
ton. and the prison will be a very
different place from what it was
three years ago.

crete floors, and automatic sprink-
lers have been installed in all places
where inf1ammable material will be
used.
zone of the principal improve
ments will be the filling UP of the
old quarry in which formerly stag
nant water stood at all times and
which was used as dump for
refuse. This quarry will now be
used as q playground, with a base
ball field and courts for handball
and other outdoor games. Most of
the new cells have been installed
ana they are clean and sanitary. I
expect to have the prison a modern
one in every respect and life for the
prisoners will be made as nearly nor
NAL as IL possible under the circum-
stances.
IT already can feel a change in
the prison atmosphere. The men
seem more hopeful and take hold Of
their work with better spirit.
After the construction work Is all
done certain changes are contem-
plated in the routine and then the
State Of Maine will not be ashamed
of its principal penal institution.
The IRE was certainly q blessing in
disguise.
'The new prison will cost not less
than $3.50 900 and I hope to be able
to pay for 1t without borrowing any
money. This has only been possible
through the savings in our depart
ments and institutions and the ac-
stimulation Of unexpended balances.
Special quarters have been pro-
vided for the women prisoners.
There Is q large chapel, school,
room, q hospital and everything else
that goes to make complete insti-
tuition. I think the citizens of Maine
will be pleased at what has been
accomplished" ~

and distrust. It would not require
much display of military spirit to
throw the world into an armed
camp.
I'VE would not leave our country
without adequate defense. I deplore
the so-called 'pacifist' movement
which tells our young people that
war is never justifiable; that they
should never fight to defend their
own country or to right the wrongs
of others. The extreme military is
as vicious as the extreme 'pacifist'
doctrine. There is danger that we
may go too far in relieving our his
tory Of many of it's most vital pages.
History should be truthful and there
should be proper balance in teach

peace. We should not forget the
courage and patriotism of our SOL

noble deeds and to an appreciation
of the cost of the privileges we en-.

civilization has advanced to such a
point, the nations can settle their

America is a patriotic nation and
needs no National Defense Day to
develop the spirit of preparedness
and to show other nations we can
take care of ourselves. We must
have reasonable preparedness and
believe our government will have no
trouble in providing it. The reg

Issues 4th of July
Warning of Tetanus
Danger nOckjaw)

Zone of the most agonizing OF
deaths is that from tetanus, or lock-
Jaw. which so often comes as an
aftermath of careless or Irrational
Fourth of July celebrations. says
a timely bulletin just issued by the
State Department of Health. FOR
instance, in 1922 of the total of IA
deaths from tetanus here Maine,
eight of them. occurred in July. In
July Of that year the tragic sequels
of celebrations which lacked judi
cious parental and municipal con-
troll were so unusually numerous
that it would appear that the press
recitals and warnings for the future
must have had some influence, for
there was q total OF only six deaths
in the year that followed, and only
one of these in July.
The value Of warnings and of
educative work against the tetanus
danger is shown by the vigorous
campaign carried on by the Ameri-
can Medical Association. In 1903
there were 406 deaths from tetanus
in the country. In the next seven
years the number of deaths from
this cause was lowered to one-flfth,
fortieth of the number for 1908.
Eighty per cent of these tetanus
deaths, it is recorded, followed blank
cartridge wounds.
But our frantic way of celebrat-
ing the Fourth tears from us many
of our treasured ones not claimed by
tetanus. The Independence Days of
three consecutive years furnished l.
$50 killed and wounded in New York
State alone; and for the whole
country there was total of 3d.
296 killed and wounded.
In the eleven years 1908 to 1913
there was a total of Ills cases of
Fourth of July tetanus. Distribut-
ing these under the character of ex-
plosive accidents causing mem, 1874
were due to blank cartridges. "a to
giant crackers; q to cannon; 81 to
| firearms; and 81 to powder explos-
ions. --
THE danger. to children parti-
| cularly, is so great that the State
Department of Health wishes to
warn the guardians of them and
| suggest that they shield them from
| the special dangers indicated in the
preceding figures; and If accidents
| occur. to bear in mind that tetanus
| Is especially likely to follow wounds
! in which the spores of .tetanus may
| be carried beneath the surface of
the skin away from the saving in
| fluence of the air., These wounds
| which may serve as the nesting
| places of the tetanus bacillus and its
deadly virus, may be only slight pun
ctures or decorations.
eff such wounds should be in
| f1icted. it would be much safer to
seek the advice of a physician for,
given promptly, or with the delay
| of only a day or two, tetanus an
titoxin is a life-saver. In military
contests the amazing decline in the
tetanus rate, due to the use of the
special antitoxin for guarding
against the onset of this disease, was
shown in the World War"

Ocean Point, July 1.-Special-The
season of 1924 is opening big at
Ocean Point, and all signs point to
a most successful summer. Nearly
all the cottages and hotels are open.
In many ways much is on the pro-
gramme at this popular resort these
golden days Of early summer. The
Point was never handsomer, and
there Is a peculiar charm to these
long June days.
Everybody is busy here just now,
for boom spirit is in the air. Since
early spring cottages have been I'M
der construction and probably twen-
ty new cottages will be added to this
growing colony during the summer.
Five contractors and their crews are
on the ground. big trucks are in the
highways, and many vacant lots are
being sold to prospective builders.
The new development is on in a big
way. The clearing east of the At
lantic House and the new gravel
streets were completed late last fall,
and the new water mains and cleo
trio lines along these new streets
give the place a business and pro-
gressive aspect.
Ocean Point is large in area. but
building there for nearly fifty years
has been mainly along a narrow
fringe. Between extreme points this
colony of summer people stretches
along shore at least two miles, and
can be seen only by following the
Shore Drive. -
Building at Ocean Point thus far
only hints at the possibilities of the
place as a summer home for families.
This valuable property was taken
over about two years ago by the E.
E. Newbert Agency of this city. Fol-
lowing a survey of the land much
work has been undertaken. Import
ant sections where woods covered the
ground have been opened to lot buy
: ers and summer home builders. Per-
Permanent streets have been built
and other plans are being worked

upper end of Second street and eX-
poets to build this summer. Other
owners of lots are eager to begin op-
erations.
An important venture, not to be
overlooked in this rather hasty
sketch, is the tea room. Mrs. Ger
trude e. Stewart has bought Ocean
Point Villa and is rapidly putting
this we'll known house into shape for
her first summers business. Many
improvements have been made and
more are in the making. Ocean
Point Villa will be able to accomo-
date limited number of boarders.
and the tea room and gift shop fea-
ture will be an attraction. 1t is I'M
derstood that Mrs. Stewart will make
a|specialty of chicken and shore din
ners. She is painstaking in her pre-
parations and her enterprise is sure
to meet the reception it deserves.
So fast is Dean Point coming these
days that strangers ask questions
and the older time residents marvel
that the thing can be done. Even
when everybody who wants to come
gets there, Ocean Point will still be
big enough for more.
