California Dolls
To Children's Home

Twelve dolls. who call themselves,
"Scarey AIMS" made their appear
ancc this week at the Maine Chill
dren's Home Society, coming all the
way from their maker in Atascadero,
Calf. They come as gifts for the So
ciety's wards in their Christmas
stockings and follow a suggestion
made by Governor Baxter.
H. T. Quinn. evidently the mana
ger OF the business, writes a real
personal letter with the gift. He says
in part: Our Nttle daughter has
asked me, If Santa Claus gives my
dolls and books and toys to me. and
to all the other children. why do you
make dolls? and not wishing to des-
troy the chlld's faith in the sweet
myth, we have explained that We are
Santa Claus helpers, that he needs
helpers and that she too can be a
Santa Claus helper even tho she is
only six years old"
ITO create in our child's mind the
true meaning Of Christmas and its
giving, we have formed the plan of
sending to each one of the orphans
homes in the state few Of our Scar
ey Ann dolls"
The dolls are most comical little
lassies, made of wood and having
coarse black hair. which propelled by
a lever. concealed. lifts up and goes
down in a laughable manner.

of Hutchinson and Gates, Tuesday
afternoon.
Arthur p. Abbott, we'll known
textile manufacturer of this town,
recently patented a burglar alarm
and window lock. Mr.. Abbott, who
is manager and part owner of the
Amos Abbott Wooden Company is q
genius when it comes to machinery
of any description. a graduate of
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
.nology, his hobby is inventing. For
some time Mr.. Abbott had the idea
of an alarm of this kind in mind
before actually making the alarm.
The Abbott Alarm as it is named
can be attached in a jiffy. by just
placing it on any slide window
whether open or shut. No bother,
no tools necessary, the alarm auto,
matically locks itself in place, ready
for action. The alarm is portable,
and can be used anywhere in any
house. readily changed from one
window to another as desired. The
Abbott Alarm is strongly built of
steel and so constructed that the
more force YOU use to open a win
dow when one is in place the more
firmly it holds. There is no cleo
tricity as there is in the operation
of the greater part of such alarms
on the market. This alarm has no
cost of upkeep, nothing to get out Of
order and will last Il life time. This
alarm was patented by the Dexter
Alarm Lock Co, August 10, 1924.
Mr.. Abbott has invented several
other pieces of machinery. one of
the best is the baler which is used
in the Amos Abbott Wooden Com
pany's mill in baling the cloth in
burlap ready to snip to the various
cities where the goods are sold.
This machine is not only a labor
saving device but also a great saver
of the burlap winch the goods is
bundled in, the machine drawing the
burlap around the cloth much tight
er than it could possibly be done by
hand.
Mr.. Abbott also has patented
very unique Silent Policeman, which
was used here in town during the
past summer with much success
This Silent Policeman is of usual
type with the exception that it
never is knocked over, a car coming
against it full speed merely tips it
over only to have it rebound into
it's proper position, there being a
spring inside that regulates IL if
it is Knocked over as silent police
men always are.

CAR SLIDES BACK
ON HILL, 0vERTURNS
|NJURINC PELT0N

When the brakes of his small coupe
failed to hold on the slippery road
way on Pelton hill, shortly after noon
Monday, the machine started rolling
back down the hill and turned turtle
into the ditch, injuring Raymond
Pelton' about the left shoulder and
back. Just how serious the injuries
are could not be fully determined at
the Augusta general hospital yester-
day afternoon, where the young man
was taken following the accident and
X-ray pictures will be made today
to aid in diagnosing The case.
The accident occurred within sight
OF the young mans nome, on the
steep grade of Pelton hill on outer
Western avenue. Pelton was pro-
ceeding up the hill when a car driven
by Mott Reynolds which was ahead
of him came to stop. The road at
that point is narrow and treacherous
and young Pelton applied his brakes
to hold his machine stationary while
the Reynolds automobile proceeded.
When the light coupe failed
to respond to the brakes and rolled
backwards down the grade. it's oper-
ator found it impossible to keep to
the roadway and the accident re-
suited.
The injured young man was ac-
contpanied by younger brother. who
fortunately escaped with only a
shaking up and minor bruises. Mr..
REYNOLDS eXtricated the hapleSs
driver from beneath the wreckage of
his own car. 1t was announced at
the hospital last evening. that it was
not believed that the injured man
will experience any very serious ef-
fects.
The Pelton machine was badly
damaged and it was said that the
car rolled over three times before
finally coming TO a standstill off the
