THE TWINS

James J. and Richard Skatey arc
brothers. and they're twins: for
years that number eighty they've
piled their useful shinS. And they
are hale and stalwart, as much alike
as eggs, except for Richards small
wart, and James is handy legs.
I've smoked Kentucky's hurley"
said Richard, since d child; I've
smoked it late and early, I've
smoked it strong and mild. And if
I'm full of ginger it is because
smoke; tobacco's bound to iniure
the germs that make men croak.
I'm still the daily buyer of hurley
and perique; if 'twere not for my
briar you'd find me bent and weak"
1--we never known diseases" said
James, .he other twin; I've no
asthmatic wheezes or backfre woes
within. The reason I'm clipper is
plain as day, indeed; since | was but
a nipper I've never used the weed.
Yes, / admit it's true, man, that
Richard smokes and chews. but he
is scarcely human, and he has fire
brick fues." It's hard to draw
moral from any fact, in sooth, for
every fact will quarrel with every
other truth.

MOTHERS PENSION
NEED HERE URGED
Labor Bureau Also Suggests Uni.
fed Control as Well as PEN
sions for Mothers.
WOULD KEEP UP FAMILIES
Greater Staff for Local Bodies
Proposed.

| a mothers pension law for the Dis
trict of Columbia, as recommended in
a report of the children's bureau of
! the Labor Department on child de-
! pendency here, is only one of several
, considerations in drawing up legisla-
tion affecting Juveniles in Washing
ton, officials of the bureau said to-
day.
Among other important factors
which are expected to be considered
by the commission on public welfare
legislation, which is headed by Judge
! F. L. Siddons, are the following:
| Amendment of the Juvenile Court
law in line with the laws of progress
| sive states.
! Change in the method of handling
n-support and desertion cases.
Provision of a sufficiently large staff
| for the Juvenile Court to permit the
| highest grade of service and increase
! in the number of workers for the
| board of children's guardians. in or
der to insure the grade of investiga
| tion and supervision essential.
Prevention of Dependency.
While the report recommends es
tablishment of mothers pension
law, it also recommends measures
looking toward prevention of de-
pendency, and urges certain admin
| istrative changes which will increase
! the value of the work of Washing
tons public and private childcaring
agencies.
Preventive measures looking to-
ward conservation n nd
| ing OF children with their own fami-
lies. recommended by the bureau, in
clude in addition to the pension law:
Adequate social investigation CT
the needs of each child so that every
possible measure may be instituted
! to prevent separation OF the child
| from his family.
Keeping Families Together
Constructive work and assistance
broken down. with the object Of
bringing it together.
Chief among the recommendations
is that the Districts public char
| tiles be co-ordinated through one
department, with Il bureau to care
for dependent children. and that pri-
vate agencies and institutions caring
for children come under public SUI
perElSlon. IN order TO carry out
really valuable preventive and con-
structive work, the report says. both
| the Juvenile Court and the board of
chlldren's guardians must be grant
ed an adequate staff Of workers.
Cost Of Pensions.
The total appropriation necessary
for mothers pension" law in the
District of Columbia, estimated on
the basis of appropriations for pub
lie aid to dependent children in
! twelve counties in five different
states. would approximate s105, 900.
The number of children eligible to
receive such aid in Il year would
be, it is estimated, about $50.

LONDON. January 4-England.
IKE America, has. become radio mad.
1he recent successive triumphs in
getting the United States and
other distant countries by wireless
telephony have given enormous impetus
70 the sale of receiving sets, some va
T1eties Of which are being sold for as
little as 80 cents.
To meet the British puhlic'S de-
nnands for further dissemination of
wireless programs the British broad
casting company now is erecting an
other powerful wireless relay sta
ton at Plymouth, which, with tine
transmitting plants at London Bir-
,ningham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edin-
hurgh, Aberdeen, Cardiff and
Bournemouth, will link up the whole
British Isles.
Nothing has fired the public fmagi-
ration 50 much as America in the
silence of the night sending new
Year greetings across the ocean in
mystic radio waves to her British
cousins. The east Pittsburgh and
as If the heaving Atlantic had been
eliminated and England had become
a next door neighbor to the United
States.
Remote Places Heard.
During the last week not only
America, but remoter places like
South Africa, India, New Zealand
and Mesopotamia have been heard
distinctly. and the British public eX-
poets this year will bring more SEN
sational achievements in radio
science.
II is anticipated that as continental
and transatlantic transmission inn
proves the relay system now conduct
i. t,,.r
pany will enable listeners-in here to
make a tour of the world in a single
night, and hear in the course OF an
hour or two the concerts in New YORK,
Chicago, Vienna, Prague, Rome, Ber-
lin. Paris and Moscow.
Even those possessing crystal sets
hav" been able to listen to America
through the action OF the powertui
hroadcasting station here in rciaying
the American programs. only those
possessing multiple tube sets have
been able thus far TO pick UP the
United States directly. and then only
after the rest of England had gone
L. bed and there was complete dark
ness over the Atlantic.
AT Manchester this week Mrs. Sarah
Nightingale heard the voice Of her
son, S. j. Nightingale of the Westlng-
house Electric Company. Pittsburgh,
across $500 miles of space as he sang
a number of musical selections.
SO much success attended the re-
cent experiments of British radio en-
pineers in talking across the ocean
that a great part of England now sits
up all night trying to establish wire
less contact with the American sta
tionS. Amateurs are encouraged IN
their efforts by the fact that the
American wave lengths are much the
same as those used by the British
stations, which range from 500 to 500
meters.
With five-tube set messages from
New York have been received on the
loud speaker in London. Manchester.
Bradford and other English cities. On
New Year eve a group of Americans
were heard Justify singing: I'VE

BARTLETT E. FOLSOM
STRICKEN BY DEATH
ALONE IN ST OR E

The body Of Bartlett e. Folsom. for
many years associated with the gro
Gerry trade in this city, was found
about 4.30 Thursday afternoon, be-
hind the counter of his store at
Cony street, by policemen who broke
into the store at the request Of Mrs.
Folsom. Medical examiner DIR. w. H.
Harris. stated that he believed Mr..
Folsom had died about $50 o'clock.
Death was due to cerebral hemorr-
hage and was instantaneous.
Alarmed by the fact that her tele-
phone calls to the store were not
answered, after she had called at
intervals between o'clock and o.
clock, Mrs. Folsom went to the store.
which she found locked. She enlisted
the aid of Marshal Skehan of the
Augusta police department who broke
the glass in the door Of the store
and entered. He found the body of
Mr.. Folsom, lying behind the counter
of the store, near an overturned chair.
Mr.. Folsom conducted the store
alone and il was his habit when he
went to the basement of the building.
to lock the door. Evidently he had
been to the basement at that time as
the door was locked. 1t was thought
that the exertion caused by Climbing
the stairs. might Rave caused the
hemorrhage.
Mr.. Folsom was known to a great
many people OF Augusta as Bart"
He was an ardent baseball enthusiast
and rarely missed a bail game in Au-
gusta, beside keeping we'll posted up
on baseball doings in the big leagues.
He was chairman of the Augusta
Board Of Registration, which office he
had held for the past three years.
He was born November IL, 1855,
and was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ste
phen Folsom OF this city. He was ed
ucated in the public schools of Au-
gusta and married Nellie Plummer,
about AZ years ago. About that time
he went into business for himself, and
conducted a grocery store on Cony
hill for over 20 years. Then he ac-
cepted a position with J. +. Fuller,
and was employed there for several
years. After leaving that company
he again opened n store Of his own,
in the Masonic Temple and conducted
1t until about four years ago. After
about a year in which he stayed out
of business he opened the store which
he conducted on Cony street at the
end Of the bridge until the time of
his death.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Nellie Folsom, three daughters, Mrs.
Pliny Barrows. who has been making
her home with her parents for the
past year, Mrs. Harry Smith of Bing-
hampton, n. w, and Mrs. Kerry
Steward Of Skowhegan, and one son,

THIRD ANNUAL Maine WINTER CARNIVAL
GOVERNOR BAXTER SENDS HIS SUPPORT

ably be forthcoming from the Gov
ernor within a few days, which
would be somewhat of a surprise,
but which would give State wide
recognition to the undertaking this
year.
Splendid reports on the progress
of arrangements for the several
phases of the Carnival program were
presented to the meeting yesterday
afternoon by the chairman of the
committees. Three days replete with
outdoor events, both competitive and
exhibitions will make this Carnival
one of the biggest outdoor affairs in
New England. The success of pre-
vious Carnivals in this city has been
given publicity all over New Eng
land and the east, and many visi-
tors, including a SZeable party from
Rhode Island will come to Maine and
Augusta for the events this year.
The Carnival here is recognized by
the colleges and prep schools as the
official competitions for champion
ship honors. and the congress of
school and college ice and snow
sports, will draw representative
teams from schools in every part
of the State. and also their sup
porters. Exhibition ski jumping will.
as in previous years. provide thrilling
entertainment for the non-partici-
pants. and besides Miss Margaret
Towne of Berlin, n. H.. the champion
girl ski jumper of New England. the
committee in charge of this part of
the program expects to have stellar
performers present from Dartmouth
college, and from Canada.
The primary purpose OF the State

has been to interest greater num-

ing, hockey and similar pursuits.
During the carnival days, everyone,
men, women and children are ex-
pected to don winter sports gar
ments and get out of doors and par
ticipate in the general snow frolic.
In connection with the Carnival,
certain professional exhibitions are
arranged for those who participate
as spectators and as in previous
years, a fast and clever pair of fancy
skaters have been signed up to per-
form on the wonderful surface at the
Williams Field rink.
The school and college hockey con-
tests will also provide interesting and
spectacular exhibitions for the on
lockers. as well as the ski jumping by
the experts.
