FIRE IN ARMORY
CAUSES DAMAGE
Of ABOUT $4,000

The first serious fire to occur in
Watsrville for more than six months
broke out yesterday morning about
IL o'clock in the basement OF the
Arniory building on Front street. In
spite of the zero temperature and
the frigid northwest gale the nremen
did excellent work in fighting the
fire and inside of an hour the all
out sounded.
The damage was estimated at be-
tween 5000 and $1,000 with an in
surance Of about $1,000 or the whole
building. Fully az much damage
was done by the water as by the
Hre as the actual blaze was mostly
confined to the basement.
A telephone call was received
from Day and 6miiey's woodwork
ing shop Just before IL to the effect
that the ATmory was on fire and
alarm was rung IN from box 20 in
City Hall square Immediately after.
All Of the apparatus from the Gem
trail station was OH the scene of the
fire In very short time but q coat
ing of glare ice oil around the build
Ing tmpeded the work OF the fKhters
somewhat. However, several lines
Of hose were quickly connected and
streams played from Various vantage
points about the building soon had
the names practically quenched.
~. Maurice O'Donneli. day janitor at
the City Hall who also has the care
Of the Armory furnace said that he
went over in the morning and built
up fire in the furnace as he often
has done and about Is minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered he went
over and put come coal in the fur
mace. He did not notice any smoke
or evidence of fire then and the fire
in the furnace OF course did not
have time to over heat in that length
of time.
Captain s. PARKER Foss. Of Com
papy G., 1O3rd Infantry, y. G.. S. NJ,
stated yesterday noon that the MILF
tary equipment Of the company was
thoroughly drenched. Adjutant-
General James w. Hanson and Ma
jor William c, Goodwin Of Augusta,
arrived in this city shortly after the
fire and they spoke Of taking the
uniforms back to Augusta to dry
them out.
The basement was well flied with
water and Mayor Tebbetts was busy
yesterday afternoon making ar
fangementS 10 nave the water
pumped out and the windows board
ed ZIP. Repair work will probably
start at once.
The big ceiling was badly soaked
and will probably have TO be replac-
ed almost wholly. a The woodwork
around the foundation wes burned
to some extent.
A score Of doves came out of their
home in the peak Of the building
when the smoke reached there but
a good many went back In again and
were suHocated.
The Armory building was perhaps
one Of the oldest buildings in the
city. The building as 1t first stood
was erected In 1896. 15S years ago
and was known as the East Meeting
house. In 1926 1t was changed over
into a town hall and when Water
willie became o city in 1888 1t was the
City Hail until the present structure
was erected In 1902 after which 1t
was used Q sthe Armory. OF course
very little OF the original building
remains but 1t is about the same
shape and size. A few months ago
the city expended several hundred
dollars In painting and renovating
the building.

suppose that | should point out the
difference between the type Of stu.

OF a quarter of a century ago. And
right here find difficulty con-
fronts me. We got alt sorts and
conditions OF men then and we get
them now. What you want, I sup
pose, Is sort of average or COM
posite type and that Is by no means
easy to construct. Has this last
quarter century developed any ap-
preciable differences in the general
type, 1t is easy to see what changes
1t has brought to the college. In
that time there have been great i'm
provements in the plant and equip
ment and the number Of professors
and instructors and the number Of
pupils trebled.
Il am inclined to think that the
average student of today Is ply
sically at least Il better, healthier

was the student of a quarter cen-
fury ago. Colby today may not be
turning out a Jack Coombs but cer-
tainly more men and women now

Is greater variety OF games and
