BELFAST
Navajo Camp Bows Meet Davis

Navajo Camp Boys Meet Davis
The l. boys who comprise the
Summer Camp at Temple Heights,
known as Navajo Camps, operated
by Orren j. Dickey of Belfast, had
wonderful day Sunday, for they
sailed across the bay to the island
home of Charles Dana Gibson, where
they had the pleasure of meeting
and shaking hands with John w.
Davis. Mr.. Davis, when he learned
that the boys were at the landing
and that they were anxious to meet
him. walked from the house to the
boat and shaking hands with each
of the Youngsters. asked their names
and where they lived. They are all
city boys and come from various
parts of the country. They were
then invited up to look over the
artists summer home on Seven
Hundred Acre Island, and although
Mr.. Gibson Is in the Bradbury Me
mortal Hospital in Belfast, and they
did not see him. his son-i law. Mr.
Post, entertained them and they had
a most delightful visit.
A Few Errors About Islesboro
With a dozen or two city news
paper men at Islesboro following the
John w. Davis party, all sending out
dope on the island and its environs.
local readers are learning many
things that they never knew before.
For instance one dispatch states that
there is but one steamer running to
the island, when as matter of fact
there are two from Rockland and
two from Belfast, one of them start
ing from Camden. From Rockland
there is the Eastern Steamship
Gteamer Westport, and the Pema-
quid, the Maine Central Railroad
Gtcamer. each of which connects
with boats and trains arriving in
sockland. From Camden and Bel
asst is the steamer Castine, leading
IN the west coast of Islesboro, and
between Belfast and Castine with a
'unding at the Lime Kiln, North
I5lesboro, is the Golden Rod.
The same article also stated that
here is one telephone line to the
Sland. The New England Telephone
90. has a cable running from Sat
urday Cove to Islesboro which car
ries seven circuits. 1t maintains 300
phones on the island, with a central
office and four operators.
One dispatch stated that Davis
would make the 40-mile run from
Rockland to Oar Harbor." Penob-
scot Bay is getting a good deal of
publicity from 1t all and every little
bit helps to advertise one of the
most attractive summer Fairgrounds
on the New England coast.

QUEEN MARIE NOW
 FASHION WRITER
RumaniaD Monarch Gives Ladies
 Latest Tips

Vienna, Dec, 1S,-Queen Marie of Rumania has joined the fashion writers and, in a signed article for the Vienna Freie Presse, severely crlticiZes the modern tendency to- ward short and scant dress.
 The passion for short dresses" le Urites' 'ls responsible for the GroteSque fashion of scant evening gowns which hardly cover the knees and from which rags of all shapes hang down from every possible cor ucr as a sort of substitute for the train, These merely serve to get the feet cntangled or 10 have the first gentleman who happens 10 say gooI evening tear them down."
 Marie believes that these dresses constitute "a sin against line," pre- venting women from making grace full movements. She Is disappointed ot the continuance of the narrow skirt remarking: T should have imaEinm that our athletic, sports loving women would wear something that would allow their limbs free play"
 The revolution in dress, she be- lievos, started with the advent of the automobile.
 we were compelled to give ur our picturesque costumes and to yield the floor to practical dresses" she continues. With the disapcar. ance of the carriage much elegance has been lost to the world, With the automobile and similar innovations cam q habit with which I cannot agree-that of wearing exactly the same thing whether one Is old or young, fat or thin, large or small.
 Tn my humble opinion a woman should wear only what really is be- coming, She should not feel obliged to adopt something that in no wise suits her size, figure or style"
 Bobbed hair is anathema 10 the green.
 "Women cut of their hsir," she observes, although f vas once rated 8s their most precious possession. I cannot help but think that women will some day regret having sacrl- feed this browning glory which cannot be regained in q day"

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there Is one preparation that had been very sue cesstul in overcoming these condl- lions.

 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an interview Of the sub Ject. made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many appl- cants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble Is so com- mon 10 the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined lo not even suspect that they hava the dlsease.
