Automobiles COnfine
Traffic to Highways
Since Recent Rains

Although weather predictions for
Yesterday were fair the sky was over
cast practically all day and a cool
wind blew through the city from the
north. The Kennebec continued to
run almost a flood pitch but did not
go any higher, than the day before.
The yellowish gray water pouring
over the Ticonic dam at height or
about four feet made roar that
could be heard at quite a distance
from the river.
Dirt roads are seas Of mud at the
present time and auto traffic is
closely confined to the hard surface
highways. The road between Wa
terville and Augusta on the East
side of the river is in excellent con-
dition excepting for two sinks in
the macadam, one just below Getch-
eIIs Corner, and the other q little
way this side of the Shorey estate
on a curve. The best of automobile
springs groan IL the driver tries to
nush his car above 10 miles an hour.
The road between here and Fairfield
is about as good as could be asked
for excepting up College avenue from
the postoffice to the lower crossing.
The Waterville side OF the ROAD 10
Oakland is fair and the road from
the Oakland line into the village OF
Oakland is excellent. excepting LOT
one or two sinks. The road through
Oakland village Is not comfortaole
one TO travel on at the present time,
hut IL one gets through the village ne
has fine stretch of hard surface
for about IS miles to three miles or
so beyond Belgrade. The road to Au-
e,,sta on the West side of the Ken
nebec is passable but when one can
travel on the East side 1t Is pre-
ferable. ..

in between, and the road to Skowhe-
gan is very fair.

Extensive improvements
Interior Selectmen's Office

The interior of the selectmen's Of
flee presents a very pleasing appear
ance since extensive repairs for
which an appropriation was made at
the annual town meeting have been
made including new hardwood floors,
new paint and paper and new steel
ceilings and new lighting fixtures.
The selectmen are justly proud Of
their new quarters and as soon as
the new filing cabinets ETC., arrive
and are put into use the towns busi-
ness will be able to be kept in a
much more convenient and morern
way.
The room in the rear of the select
mems Office has also been fitted up for
the use of the superintendent OF the
water works and this room has also
been painted. papered. new ceiling
put on and new lights installed.
These offices will be open every day
in the week for the transaction Of the
towns and the water works business
and It is expected that this arrange
ment will be much more satisfactory
than the method employed in the past.
The selectmen will very son put a
crew at work grading and cleaning up
the lot that Union Hall Is built on
which is something that is greatly
needed.

Worst Icepacks of
Years in Baltic Sea

Kiel, Germany, March 20 "a. p.
by MaiD-Ships in the Baltic Sea
traffic had such trouble with fee in
February, and were frozen In SO
often, that many Of them were ready
TO believe the climate of the Arctic
had shifted. The German warship
Braunschweig, which n1s just re-
turned to this port after weeks of
work in relieving icebound steamer s,
was the only craft able to cope with
the unusually heavy ice.
The ice was too much at times
for the ferry service between Sas-
snitz. on the island of Ruegen, and
Sweden, and the traffic md to be
transferred to Denmark. One OF the
big ferries, which carried ar entire
PAS, enaer train and several hundred
passengers became nCpelessly en-
mcn.,ed in great ic foe. The
wind was driving the ice pack
toward the rocks when .ho Braun
schweig answered the wireless calls
and cut the ferry boat loose before
she grounded.
At times the Braunschweig cut
ont as many as 20 steamers in IL
hours. British. Norwegian, Swedish.
Danish, Russian. Finnish, Latvian
and Esthonian ships were rescued.
Sometimes the ships were frozen In
for several days and their crews
were out Of provisions before help
reached them.

Students Would
Rather Win Key
Than Colby &C"

According to the recent issue Of the
Colby Echo, the undergraduate weekly
newspaper at Colby College, majority
of the students at Colby would rather
earn the Phi Delta Kappa key than to
wear Colby &c" The majority of
students who determine the choice is
small as 80 per cent. of the answers
to the questionable recently published
in the paper were for the Phi Beta
Kappa key. In the womans division
of the college the vote for the key is
overwhelming by majority of more
than 3 to /.
Analysis Of the ballot shows a con-
siderable difference among the four
classes with the greatest majority for
the key being in the freshman class,
65 per cent. of the yearling class pre-
ferring the key to the letter. On the
other hand, the sophomore class vote
went in the opposite direction and only
as per cent. of the ballots favored the
key. The two upper classes went in ia
vor of the key but by very small ma
jorities. the seniors electing the key
with "a per cent. of the votes in favor
and the juniors with 81 per cent. for
The returns are considered to be fair
ly accurate in that a better part of
the student body voted.

Mrs. Freer's Art
Wins in Long Struggle

Chicago, April s-(By A. P.)-La-
boring over a long period of years in
behalf Of American art, especially
opera in the English language, Mrs.
Archibald Freer. composer, and so
cial leader of this city, is credited
by her friends as having achieved
q notable success. No fewer
than 20 operas in English by Ameri-
can composers are now in production,
or ready to be heard, all due to Mrs.
Freers untiring efforts.
In the Opera in Our Language
Foundation, of which she is national
chairman, associated with numerous
society patrons of art. Mrs. \ F'reer
last season was instrumental in the
staging here of four American operas
each under native auspices. stage
manager, director and assistants.
Allotted by the David Bispham
Memorial Fund, Mrs. Freer is be-
ginning to feel her carrying on" at
times alone and against the tide,
has given the public taste of what
can be done.
I'VE are trying to show the Amer
lean public, in small groups, that
they can produce American operas in
their own communities by using only
such orchestration as they can fur
nish in their own district" Mrs. Freer
explains. 1.-The average small orches-
ira, with local singers, can interpret
American opera as well as they can
produce a comedy with interpolated
popular songs. The small accom-
panying orchestra brings American
opera to the small community"
Some of the operas whose pre-
miers have recently been given are
"Shanewis," by Cadman; '"rhe Cor
sican Girl" by Browne: 1.-THE Temple
Dancer" by Hugo: Loves Sacrifice"
by Chadwick: THE Cricket on the
Hearth" and 1.-THE Legend Of the
Piper" the latter presented at South
Bend, Ind, by the music department
Of the Progress club with cast COM
posed entirely of women. These, with
several others, also have been pro-
duced by the Chicago Civic Opera
Company.
