Start Decorating
For Sigma Kappa
Convention June 30

The first signs of the National
Sigma Kappa Convention which will
be held In this city June 30-July 8,
was seen last evening on lower Main
street when the first of the colored
lights which the Central Maine
Power Company is decorating the
streets with, were lighted. Yesterday
workmen strung several lines of the
electric light bulbs across Main
street from the Crescent Hotel to
Castonguay Square. The light re-
ceived on the street from these
bulbs is quite noticeable and the add
ed attraction makes Waterville's
main thoroughfare appear quite
Cosmopolitan. AZ yesterday evening
was quite warm many people we're
on the streets during the early hours
and a large number collected in the
vicinity of the Waterville Military
Band rooms where the band was
having a rehearsal. With the win
dows open the music sounded very
loud and nice and one would have
thought to come onto the street at
that time that something out Of the
ordinary was going on.

DEATH
To SHOW HIS
Faith
Proves Efficacy Of Safety De-
vice BY Driving Car Into
Page Guard

The age Of daredevil chlvaIry in
the South has not passed. but its
purpose has changed, II y no
longer the knight Of lofty but I'M.
practical aims who predominates.
but the modern knight Of business.
whose daring is directed to a def.
mite and strictly useful end.
This has just been illustrated by
osmond L. Barringer, chairman of
the committee which Is erecting the
worlds fastest. safest and most
modern board automobile racing
track at Charlotte, N. G.
Mr.. Barringer, chiyalrous and
knightly, is nevertheless primarily
d hard-headed. practical business
mani he is in the automobile bust
ness.
He wished the Charlotte track to
be without question the safest n
the world, both for spectators and
drivers, He had observed q high
way guard OF woven link" wire
which had been erected on the roads
near Charlotte. It was the well.
known Page hi-Way guard, and
had prevented several accidents
which ordinarily would have been
serious.
When Richard Kennerdell, Of
Franklin, Pa, chairman Of the con.
test board OF the American Automo-
bile Association, came to Charlotte
to inspect the track during the
process Of its erection, Mr.. Barrin-
ger insisted that the inside curves
Of the track be protected with Page
hi-way guard as an effective buffer
against accidents.
To demonstrate his belief in the
efficacy Of this type Of guard, Mr..
Barringer took his own car out on
the road, to q spot protected by this
guard and. driving at full speed,
crashed head-on into the guard. and
was stopped, without injury to him.
