Time was when the sewing machine
placed through the structures. of limit
ed space in the sitting room presented
problem of reGonciling use with
beauty, says the New York Sun and
Globe. Today in the small apartment
the typewriter presents the same
problem. In one small apartment in
lower Manhattan the problem was dealt
with by the substitution of the usual
typewriter cover by a square of rose
colored velvet in flowing Grapes. The
looseness of the cover conceals the ma
ture of the hidden object and permits
the jewellers to delude themselves that
it adds a touch of oriental mystery to
the ROOM If the lost cover could be
found no doubt the seductive velvet
draping would be discarded.

California expends nearly million
dollars in advertising for it. Florida
of course, is winter resort state,
and so does not come in competition
with Maine, but just as showing the
extent to which other states are get
ting after tourist business, we men
ton the fact that ten Florida cities
alone last year expended over $780,
600 in advertising for it,
That Maine, with the pitiful $685.
600 that it had last year, can do so
much speaks for itself of the
strength of appeal in the attractions
we have to offer This fund was
raised largely by private subscrip-
tions. but more and more municipali-
ties are coming to recognize how
much of their prosperity is due to the
summer visitor and tourist. and are
making appropriations for advertis-
ing, to be expended through the State
Oh Maine 1'uDlIClly BUREAU. t Hdu
hoped that the city government of
Ellsworth would this year make an
appropriation to this fund, as the
board of trade and several private
citizens did last year We believe
that such an appropriation would
meet with the approval of the bust
ness men of Ellsworth, who realize
most fully the value of the summer
business. Perhaps it may yet be
done from the contingent fund
But one thing we can do. Stop
talking about our summer residents
as a liability and think of them as a
real asset; remember that they are
paying fifty cents of taxes to every
fifty cents of yours, and in few
years may be paying seventy-fiye
cents to your twenty-five. Remem-
Der, too, the several millions of dol
lars of new money put in circulation
annually in Maine by tourists, and
make the casual visitors want to
come again.

MARY S. SNOW DEAD.
Maine Woman Who Won High Place
in Educational Field.

Miss Mary S. Snow, Maine
woman who won a place of national
prominence in educational fields,
died last Friday at her home in New
York. Though a native of Bangor,
Miss Snow was considered almost a
Hancock county woman, for her sum-
mers for many years had been spent
at Southwest Harbor. The. death of
her brother and only near relative, G.
Fred Snow of Bangor, occurred only
two days before her own.
For the greater part of the last
fifty years Miss Snow had been
leader in education. Beginning her
life work as a young woman in her
home city. Bangor, she quietly rose
to prominence not only in Maine but
throughout New England.
Herself an alert, bright, original,
unusual character, typical of the
Maine, she early showed her strong
influence upon young people, and be-
come a recognized leader in normal
training and had through many years
been the guide and inspiration of
large number of young teachers.
For long period she was superin-
tendent of the schools of Bangor and
power in the New England Edu-
cational association, frequently flold-
ing office in that organization. New
York and Chicago were later fields of
Miss Shows activity. In New York,
she was associated with Edith Greer,
an original thinker in modern edu-
catioual movements which have for
their aim the development of the in
dividual's greatest power. In Chicago
Miss Snow was associated with Ella
Flagg Young, noted educator who
left an impress upon the schools OF
Chicago.
Her later years she had spent, for
her very pleasure in work, associated
with Florence Greer, principal of one
of the oldest schools for girls in New
York, the Brooklyn Heights Semi
nary. 1t was as a visitor to the
classes, led by Miss Snow in Bangor
that Florence Greer received her in
spiration to make education life
work.

BY these figures it will be seen
that while resident property in Han
cock county has increased less than
90 per cent. from 1892 to 1920 (and
large part Of this was due to in
creased values rather than to i'm
provements), nonresident property
had increased over 800 per cent,
mostly in new buildings and in
dustrial undertakings.
Thus, in 1920, non-residents were
paying about 4 5 cents out of every
dollar raised in Hancock county in
taxes, and to-day, with the ratio of
resident and nonresident growth
continued, it is about tifty-tifty
proposition At this rate, how long
will it be before the non-residents
may retaliate on the minority quoted
above, and complain that they are
paying too much to support schools
in Maine that they never use? And
they have no vote in the matter
But this is not all, Take into con-
sideration the money expended annu-
ally by the summer residents, the
casual visitors, the sportsmen, the
tourists, add to this the fact that non
residents are already paying one-half
the taxes in Hancock county, and it
may with reason be argued that the
obligation is very much on the other
side of the ledger.
What is true of Hancock county is
true to greater or less extent of every
county in Maine, though very few
counties in the State owe more to the
summer residents than does Han
cock. 1t is good business to foster
the kindly feeling of our summer Wis
itors as we'll as of the casual tourist.
Maine has just made a beginning
in this direction, through the State of
Maine Publicity Bureau. Last year
it expended about $4,000 in aad-
vertising Maine, and reports wonder
full results in increased number of
tourists, some of whom have al
ready bought property with the view
of building summer homes here.
But Maine is not without competi-
tion in seeking this tourist travel.
