CURRENT EVENTS
CLUB HEARS WORK
CHARITIES BOARD

Declaring that there are now 1000
children in the care of the State
Board of Charities and Corrections
and that the calls upon his depart
ment are constantly increasing, Sec
rotary CRUDE 3. Cornish gave q most
interesting address before the wom-
en- of the Augusta Current Events
club on Friday afternoon at the reg
ular session held at the Y. M. c. A.
assembly hall
Secretary Cornish was enthusiastic
in his endorsement of the work of
the State charita BILE institutions and
Of the faithful, self sacrificing men
and women who are giving their time
in this valuable service to humanity.
He felt that the State hospitals were
deserving of special mention and that
they should receive a greater meas
ure Of appreciation from our citi-
zens.
Many of the old almshouses now
in use should be forever condemned
and closed" said Mr.. Cornish, "and
in their place four State controlled
institutions established to care for
the worthy poor"
He believed that the necessity that
brought about a new prison building
at Thomaston was really a blessing
and spoke particularly of the fine
work being done at the Woman's Re-
formatory at Skowhegan under the
direction of the new matron, Mrs.
Libby.
The speaker also declared that
many other cases coming 10 his
board for care are the result of the
laxity of our laws with regard to the
desertion of families by the husband
and father. He recommended the

ELECTRICAL FIXTURE
THIEVES ACTIVE
and DISCRIMINATING

Thieves with a strong leaning to-
ward electrical fixtures and appara-
tus, have made several breaks in this
city recently and judging from the
amount of material of this kind that
has been removed. the house which
they are evidently furnishing must
be we'll lighted and equipped with the
latest Of electrical labor savings de-
vices.
The latest break to be brought to
the attention of the sheriff's depart
ment which is working on the case
is the second break in the house of
Major William II. Mitchell. situated
just across the line in Hallowell on
the river road. Entrance was effect
cd through q back window and the
house was thoroughly ransacked. A
fine fully equipped Atwater- Kent
radio set was taken, together with
a vacuum cleaner and two electric
light fixtures.
AS Major Mitchell and his family
are now in California the complete
list of stolen goods cannot be given
In his absence, Corr. Rufus Willis
stationed in this city and associated
with Major Mitchell looks after the
house, going there two or three times
n week to see that all is well.
About two weeks ago when Cor
poral Willis went to the house ne
found that it had been entered in the
sarne way and that it had been ran
sacked. AS he was not familiar with
the contents of the house he was
unable to say what was missing.
From his observation at that time
he was able to say that the radio set.
lighting fixtures and vacuum sweeper
had been taken on the second break.
Probably the same set OF thieves
were responsible for the breaks in TWO
houses now nearly completed on
Hosnital street. These houses are
owned by Frank S. Cheney and We're
buiIt nv V. f. Dunn the contractor
and were both wired for electricity.
One of the housees it is understood
was so far finished that it had been
let but the tenants had not yet NOV
cd in. This house was entered ana
the electrical fixtures 'hich had been
Installed were removed. The other
house was not as near completion.
but wire insulating knobs. tube ano
steel wall cases which had been IN
stalled were all removed.
Besides these breaks the electric
warerooms of Earl Church were en-
tered recently and some radio ap-
paratus and wire was taken.

MAINE c. E..
'1 Will GATHER II IN
CITY FEB. 1924

Beginning with Feb. 22nd and last
ing over Sunday the oath, the Maine
State Christian Endeavor Society
will hold it's annual convention in the
Penny Memorial United Baptist
church. A fine program has been ar
ranged with interesting speakers and
other attractive features. 1t is eX-
pected that at least $50 young people
from other places in Maine will regis
ter at this convention. The local
committee, headed by D. Saunders
Patterson. has been at work for some
time on the various matters needing
attention and sub committees are at
work upon the details. On Thursday
evening meeting of the local COM
mittee was held and the various lines
of work necessary to a convention are
being carried out in fine condition.
The matter of entertaining the visl-
tors is causing some concern. as is
usual with such gatherings, but it is
hoped that the required number CT
rooms will be placed at the disposal
OF the committee OF which Miss An
ME Stiles. 81 Gage street, phone 9S2J.
is chairman.
Entertainment is on the Harvard
plan. /. e.. lodging and breakfast pro-
vided by the hostess. AS restaurants
are closed on Sunday It may be ne
cessary for visitors to be given some
attention on that day. Those who
attend these conventions come from
churches in all sections of Maine ana
from several of the different denomi-
nations. For this reason it is hoped
that some folks other than from the
Penney Memorial church will assist
in the entertainment and the pastors
who were present at the committee
meeting promised to present the mat
ter to the various churches. Those
who desire to assist may send word
to Miss stiles at the above address or
to Rev. Howard TT. Brown, 80 Grove
street, phone 1232M.
