was received by letter into the Metho-
dist Society in Mercer on November
16, 1878, during the passionate of Rev.
Trne Whittier. Thus on the Sunday
before she died Mrs. Brown complet-
ed her ferty-sixth year of member

Lord.

and was interested in everyday al
fairs until she took to her bed few
weeks before she died.
Funeral services were conducted in
the home by Rev. James " Barr. ON
Saturday, November Is. at 10 o'clock
and the remains were inferred in the
Mercer cemetery.

The Late Mrs. Ellen Brown

In the death of Mrs. Ellen Ward
Brown Which occurred on Wednesday
November IL, 1924, the town of Mer-
Ger has had taken from among its
citizenry one of its most respected
and well known characters. Mrs

20, 1888. She was the daughter OF
Ephraim and Hannah lMoore) Ward
Her father was one of the early set
tiers oil Bloomfield. Through her

The Maine Public Health Associa-
ton has commenced its annual sale
OF Christmas Seals and Health Bonds
and we are especially anxious to make
record breaking sale in Somerset
County this year, since 50 per cent
to rs pei cent of the money raised
will be expended in carrying out a
very definite county program.
Do you realize that Somerset Coun-
ty and particularly Skowhegan has
never raised its quota to help carry
on the most excellent work of this
association? And If you consider
that substantial part of the Maine
Public Health Associations budget
and nearly all of the budget of the
Somerset County Public Health As
sociation comes through this annual
fund raising activity-the sale OF
Christmas Seals and Bonds, you will
understand why it is that this county
has been handicapped in its health
work.
We earnestly bring this matter to
your attention so that when you are
asked to serve on a Christmas Seal
or a Health Bond committee or when
you are asked to buy Christmas Seals
or a Health Bond, that you will have
in your mind the great importance of
this work and the truly wonderful
work which is being done with the
funds raised in Maine through this
annual sale of seals and bonds for
health and happiness.
1t has been estimated that more
than 100000 of the leading men and
women of the United States are serv-
ing on local or state or national COM
mittees this year in the sale of Christ
mas Seals and Health Bonds through
out the United States.
With your sympathetic interest and
help this year, with your influence
added to the fight. Maine will go far
ahead of any previous year.
What will record breaking sale
of seals and bonds mean to Maine?
1t will mean more public health
nursing service.
1t will mean hundreds and possibly
thousands, of additional boys
girls enrolled in the Modern Health
Crusade.
1t will mean more clinics for the
detection of early cases of tubercu-
losis and other diseases.
1t will mean more lectures on
health and the prevention of sickness
to more Maine families than ever be-
fore.
II will mean more health and less
sickness, more happiness and less
misery for our neighbors right here
in Maine.

On 1.-THE way home, We passed thru
territory where the pine trees spread
close by the road The weight OF
snow had pushed the branches way
down, In some instances low enough to
brush the top of the car. Even
where they did not, these low-hang-
ing. snow covered branches would
loom up out of the darkness in a
manner to give the impression of an
impending collision. Now and then
we would arrive just as branch
dropped it's load and for the moment
the sight would be completely cut on

It was an interesting and somewhat
novel experience; an adventure with
the country highways under winter
conditions, not perhaps to be know
ingly planned, but having ended well,
one to be pleasantly remembered.

Grues0lne Find
Brings to Mind
Portland Murder

PORTLAND, Ore, Dee. 10
Striking similarity between the lat
est Apache murder in Paris and the
supposed murder of Ernest Des-
camps in Portland in February, 1920,
caused police here today to specu-
late on the possibility of connection
between the two murders.
Portions of dismemberea body,
supposedly that Of pescamps were
found at widely scattered points
throughout the city. Each part was
wrapped in 4 newspaper. The dis,
membermrnt was an expert piece of
batchering. A
Louis Victor Braycr, alias Victor
Gonzales, known us 1.-THE rabbit,
character of the Paris underworld
who was known to have quarreled
with Descamps was suspected. He
was arrested several times in diff.
ferent parts of the world, but each
time by actually escaping or
through some legal tcchnicality, he
prevented authorities from return
ing him 10 Portland.
In ease Paris authorities solve the
reported murder today, Portland au
thorities will investigate to find
IL possible solution at the same
source for the Deseamps case.

the air ministry itself at Carding
ton.
So far actual construction cannot
begin because no sheds bid enough
to house these great grey monsters
have ever been built.
The R-l0l, it has already offici,
ally been announced, will be 720 feet
in length, 40 feet in height, 1870
feet in diameter, and will be driven
hv seven engines of 600 horse power
each, burning crude fuel oil instead d
of petrol The displacement-5,0 ,000,-
600 cubic fect-iS not considered cx-
ceSsive in view of the magnitude of
the other dimensions. 1t is expected
the specifications for the R-l00 will
be closely similar.
Can Accommodate 100
If the airships are to be used for
commercial purposes, accommoda
tions can be provided each for 100
passengers, separate sleeping accom-
modatiQns being in the form of two
berth cabins on a separate deck from
the living and smoking quarters.
The cruising radius will be practi-
cally unlimited, with Il $500 mile
trip to Egypt Il mere weekend
jaGnt.
The following will be the journey
times of the R-l0l ON her empire
flights:
Egypt-21l2 days.
Indla-5 to Is days.
Australia-l0 days.
Cape Town-5I days.
Canada-3 days.
In case commercial use brings it
to New York, it is thought the en-
gines of the R-101 may make the
5000 mile trip across the Atlantic in
slightly in excess of IS hours.
Naturally, an immense amount of
subsidiary work is necessary before
actual construction ON these vessels
can begin. First of all there is the
matter of sheds-adequate housing
for the mammoths as they are being
Quilt and permanent hungars for
them when completed. Two large
sheds are now under construction at
Howden, while at Cardinston the
present huge shed is being enlarged.
Another shed is TO be erected In
India and possibly Il third one at
some intermediary point.
When it is completed the Card
ington she'd will be sl2 feet long.
If tthe Wriglcy tower in Chicago
should topple over, this she'd would

space to spare. 1t could hold up-
wards of 100000 people, so that
most of the entire population of
say, Fall River, Mass, could easily
find entrance. over $500 tons of
steel have so far been used in its
construction.
There is again the matter of moor
ing masts.
One of these masts, $50 to 20t
| feet high, is to be erected shortly a
