pointments is to be turned over to
Kiwanians of Maine for that day.
Though Jeff c. Smiths introduce
tory remarks We're in relation to the
late war and the clubs responsible
ity to the community to assist in the
prevention of further wars, he finally
swung into the expected vein and
talked about boys, which are his
speciality. To those who know jeff
Smith it is a foregone conclusion that
any talk made by him will eventually
run to boys. and his address of last
evening was true to form and his
words were given weight by his per-
sonal experiences With thousands of
them. Mr.. Smith brought out two
interesting facts concerning the cost
of the World War which were sum-
med up as follows: $4,000 an hour
every hour for 1924 years was the
monetary cost of that conflict. and
the lives lost might be computed as a
Lusitania sunk every day for II
years.
f., Concerning that part Of his talk
dealing with boys, Mr.. Smiths ad-
dress was developed around the main
theme. that little counsel and ad-
vice to a boy at the proper time may
afterward be the turning point in a
boys life. governing whether the
boy will turn out to be for good or
evil.

war PREVENTION AND BOYS, SUBJECT
OF JEFF SMITHS talk TO KIWANIANS

That the scrapping of navies and
the abolition of armies will never
prevent wars, was the declaration of
Jeff C. Smith of Waterville, State Y.
M. C. A. secretary, in a brilliant and
illuminating talk before the Kiwanis
Club at the first regular meeting of
the fall season held at the Augusta
House Thursday evening. This gen.
ial mentor of boys, who has probably
had more to do in the development
of character in the youth Of Maine
than any other one individual, con-
tinued by saying that the promotion
of friendship and goodwill among
people by such organizations as XII
wants and Rotary will do more to
counterbalance the hatred, jealousies
and i'll well. which are the underlying
causes of international strife, than
any other possible agency.
The talk by Mr.. Smith was listen
ed to with the closest of attention
and was pronounced by the Kiwani-
ans one of the most instructive which
it has been their privilege to hear
since the institution of the local club.
At the luncheon meeting last eve
ming two new members were elected

Under the present plans for Ma
tional defense az outlined in the War
Act Of 1890, and as developed along
the zone army idea during the past
three years, every resource Of every
last little community in every state

Eess house. bank. factory. and indus
try would have their part to play in
wartime, and with this knowledge
coming to the understanding of our
citizens, widespread interest Is be-
ing manifested in the Defense Day
test, which is to occur simultaneous
ly in every part of the United States
on st. Mihiel Day. September IL.
Augusta organizations, business
establishments and citizens are
showing an appreciation of what
would be expected of them in time

willingness to do their bit by volun-
tary contributing to the fund which
is being raised by the general COM
mittee, in charge Of the local dem
cnstration on National Defense Day.

CHAS. &. DAWES IS
FAR FROM PROFANE
BUT WHEN HE SAYS @HELEN
MARIA" HE WANTS ACTION
AND ALWAYS GETS 1T

Washington, D. c., July I5.-(Na-
tiOnal Press Association.)-Accordin
to intimate friends and business asso-
ciates Of years standing, Brig.-GenI
Charles G.. Dawes, running mate Of
Calvin Coolidge on &. the republican
ticket, is not what we would call a
prOfane man. The nickname, Helen
Maria" came from Dawes using this
expression when he appeared before
a Congressional Investigating COM
mittee which was trying to ascertain
whether certain army expenditures
had been regular or not. Dawes,
noting that something out Of the or
binary had to be done to arouse some
Of the committee and the press TO the
fact that the waste of government
money was going or every day.
adopted heroic measures and Shout
ed, Helen Maria, if you men would
spend 0 time trying to stem the
millions of waste going on under your
noses, instead of looking for flaws
in the brilliant record of the Army.
we would have a "Helen Maria of a
lot better government" The news
papermen seeing a committee being
told the truth in a most emphatic
manner about the waste of the peo-
pies money, seized upon his Helen
Maria" exclamation as a good point
on which to hang a news story and
this secured for Dawes the attention
of the citizens of the nation. The ex-
plosion awakened the people and
they sided with Dawes in his demand
to stop the waste. This "cuss-sound-
ing" word undoubtedly was the cause
of the saving of millions of dollars.
Dawes career has been a most in
teresting me-. He was born in Ohio
in 1865. His father was General Ru-
fus r. Dawes, commander OF the IA
nous Iron Brigade of Wisconsin.
Charley" Dawes worked during his
college years as chief engineer on a
small railroad in Ohio. He gradu-
ated from Cincinnati Law School at
the age of 81. In 1887 he moved
to Lincoln, Nebraska. A great stream
of clients did not come hurrying to
the door of his office and odd jobs
of engineering during the intervals
Of clients afforded him money ON
which to live. The majority Of his
meals were eaten at q 15c lunch
