big power dam at Rumford a few
years ago.
Describing Brassua Lake. the
State Water Power Commission
makes the following statement:
"Brassua Lake is approximately
rectangular in shape, running north
west and southeast, about 3 IL miles
long and L IA miles in maximum
width. It's greatest depth is about
80 feet. In the extreme northwestern
part of the lake, the more shallow
portions lie at the southeastern ex-
tremity along Misery Sands. II has
an area of 5..j square miles at an
elevation OF 1919 feet above mean
tide. The shores are wooded and
as rule are high, the low areas
being around the entering streams
Misery stream at the southeast,
Moose river at the south and Bras
sua stream at the northern extrem-
ity. No dam now exists at the out
let of the lake. The drainage area
at the outlet is 67J square miles"
The dam which Is being built will
be 1900 feet long. The spillway will
be 800 feet in length and 80 feet
high. No power will be developed
from this project-the dam being
constructed for storage purposes
only.

Interest Shown
In Continuance of
Children's Book Week

The observance OF Children's
Book Week was observed yesterday
by book demonstrations at the Pub
lie Library. by Miss Theresa Stuart
of the Maine State Library in Au-
gCsta The afternoon session COM
menced at + o'clock with the room
upstairs packed we'll with children
Of all ages. Miss Stuart conducted
an informal discussion of various
books which were familiar to the
youthful readers and gathered from
their answers, much of interest, in
regard to the manner in which the
children seemed to apply their
knowledge Of books to everyday life.
One boy expressed his enthusiasm
over that familiar novel of the ages,
Robinson Crusoe' by Daniel Defoe.
He said that Is was of unlimitable
interes. TO him because the life of
Crusoe on the isIards was similar TO
life in camp this last summer.
Others told of the books which
they had read during the summer
and fall. Nearly all the children
who are interested in reading. re-
ported at least II books read. These
were mostly of the standard juvenile
fiction, listed among the books which
are recommended for children. Miss
Stuart asked many questions about
various character in The different
hooks and the answers showed that
the readers had read their books
with considerable care.
At 80 last evening Miss Stuart
gave her second talk of the day to
the parents on "Children's Reading"
The speaker had large number of
good books which she brought from
the State library. Among those
which she strongly recommended for
youthful readers, was shakespeare
and the Heart of a Child" This book
brings the GREAT author into the
minds OF children.
She also declared that BLACK
Beauty" that beautiful old fashion
ed story of animals and loving care.
was one of the best books that a
child could read. She said that in
the modern day of the automobile
and mechanical methods of trans
portation, many children never have
an opportunity to see horse and
that BLACK Beauty" gives the read
or different view of this loving and
intelligent animal.
One of the books which she recon-
mended for parents were james,
Joseph and john by Ralph Bergen
Ercn. The book is illustrated by
Morris Day, who Is Il Maine man and
now resides in Damariscotta. An
other was Roads to Children" by
