Fire Dept. Answers
2 Calls For Fire Sunday

The fire department answered two
calls yesterday. the first a call for
assistance from South Gardiner. and
the second for chimney fire on
Mechanic street. The first call was
about eight o'clock in the morning,
and the pumper made the long trip
in good time. When at the scene of
the fire, the home of John Cunning
ham on Canard street, the crew ar
rived they found that the local de-
partment had laid line of hose, and
did all that was possible under the
efficient direction of Engineer w.
Norris Potter. The men remained at
the fire for some time but their SER
vices were not needed. The blaze
was kept in and the damage was
caused mostly by smoke and water
on the inside. This was the third
Of a series of fires in the community
within three days. the others being
smaller ones. The trip was hard
one for the crew, the roads were in
bad condition, and there was no
protection from the biting wind. The
second call was for a chimney fire
at the house at SO Mechanic street
which is divided into four tenements.
1t was necessary to use three small
chemicals but there was no dam
age.

Hon. F. G. Harrington Speaks
At Old South Church Sunday

Sunday morning at the Old South
church the service was of unusual
interest. Hon. - Frank harrington of
Augusta occupied the pulpit and
presented to the congregation a
message of interest and appeal. He
was clear. direct and practical with
touches of real eloQuence. He began
by referring briefly to the legacy OF
confusion and difficulty that the late
war has left US and declared that
only the spirit of the Man of Galilee
could solve the problems of the
world today. Religious feeling, he de-
clared, was to be found in the heart
of all men and men today were more
nearly ready for the message of the
gospel than they realized or were
ready to acknowledge. OF this latter
fact he gave number of interesting
examples of which he had personal
knowledge. He defined a good Ameri-
can as one who loved his family, his
fellow men, his country and his God
and is loyal to them. The corner
stone of our nation he declared to be
the American home and the duty of
all good Americans to support the
trinity of home, school and church
upon which our democracy is built.
He hoped to see the day when the
reading Of the Bible and family wor-
ship should be the rule in every
American household. He called upon
the men of the community to attend
church and to ally themselves with
the activities of the church. His dir
ect and forceful message was listen
ed to with attention. Two of the
musical numbers of the service were
a violin solo by J. Archer Snare and
an anthem by the choir in which

COMMODIOUS

A COMMODIOUS medicine
~ chest, with its stock OF house
hold remedies collected in
one accessible place for minor
emergencies, and its plate glass
shelves for the sanitary and incon-
spicuous accommodation of the FAM
lily toilet preparations, is essential
to every home. Where it is lack
ing, or where its antique design
stands out in Earring contrast with
modern bathroom fixtures, the
handy man can build one with little
effort and less expense.
The medicine chest illustrated
above is built of white pine, and is
equipped with plate glass mirror,
plate glass shelves and novel ac-
comodations for tooth brushes and
face cloths. In building the chest.
the hinged mirror door should be
constructed first. for in case there
is easily available a mirror that
varies slightly from the dimensions
given, it will be simpler to adapt
the chest to the mirror than the
mirror to the chest.
The frame for the mirror is OF
scven-eighths-inch white pine stock,
planned on the edge until it is seven
eighths-inch square in cross section.
The length OF the four sections
comprising the frame are deter
mined by the mirrors dimensions.
Mitrcd joints are desirable but
should not be attempted without an
accurate nlitre box and a sharp
back saw. In the absence OF these
tools, the mortised corner shown
in figure l will prove more salts
factory. The mirror is held back
and front with quarter-inch quarter
round moulding as indicated in
, Figure 2. The same moulding may
be used later as cleats for support
ing the plate glass shelves as in
Figure 8.
Before making the chest proper,
secure the glass rod that is to serve
as face cloth rack. It's diameter.
preferably about three quarters of
an inch, will determine the size Of
