Metherersft Department WaterviIle
Women's Club Meets

An interesting meeting Of the
Mothercraft Department of the Wat
erville Women's Club was held yes
terday afternoon at the home Of Mrs.
4. H. Risley in this city. The host
esses for the afternoon were Mrs. A.
H. Bridges and Mrs. Risley. The
principal speaker was Mrs. Elsie NJ.
Fentiman who read an interesting
paper on Government and Discipline
OF Children" In speaking of the gov
eminent of little children. Mrs. Fen
timan said:
THE governing Of small children
is practically matter Of regularity
in their living. Submission to nur-
sery government is not only soothing
and nerve steadying, but il Is the
first step toward obedience and the
lesson in obedience becomes accord
ingly the first to be learned by q
properly educated baby. All through
life he must be obedient if he wishes
to be happy. We may consider 1t an
axiom that obedience TO desirable
law brings a person Of any age into
harmony with the universe. while
disobedience results in sense of I'M
ease and untitness. The best time to
learn obedience Is in helpless infancy.
1t is not only the best time but 1t is
generally the only time"
The speaker then went on to show
the fundamentals of punishment and
declared that the method of gov
erning by suggestion or words is
carried through in the right manner
would be as efficient as by capital
punishment. She divided her paper
into three parts, first the child as a
baby. second. from infancy TO the age
of six and third the ages from 6 to
l..
Mrs. Fentiman declai cd in her pa
per that the child not having reached
the age of ten possesses very little
moral equipment and little capaciy
for sorrow and none for rcmorse.
She said that the greater part of res
pect which they feel IS to personal
commands. But after this age. she
avecred. the mind begins to develop
fast and the hoy or girl begins to live
in the age OF individualism.
This age she thought, was the most
precious one. as the child lives in
dreams of the future. and sets a
mar kfor himself that often times
leaves a mark and builds for him an
ideal for his future. To encourage
these ideals. if they are Of the best
sort, and hold the youth to have pride
in his work. the speaker declared.
was the best way of getting the best
out of him.
In closing she declared. let us
not hope for finished characters, be-
fore the years of maturity. The abil-
ity for our children 10 propel them
selves after we have ceased to push
them from behind; undving affection
for ourselves coupled with growing
appreciation of what we have meant
to them and the power OF handing
on to their descendants and ours. the
soodly heritage of bodily. mental and
moral soundness with all that means
to society and to the world, 1t Is a
task we'll worth all 1t costs"

Rotarians Enjoy Regular
Meeting at Hotel ElmWoOd

The regular meeting of the Rotary
Glib was held Yesterday afternoon at
the Elmwood Hotel with large at
tendance. There were several guests
and three speakers gave interesting
addresses. George Crossman of Port
land, State chairman of the cam
dren. gave short talk on the con-
ditions of the stricken people. The
director of the campaign, T. w.
Spraguc of Portland was also present
and spoke on the same subject.
\ short but interesting talk was
given by Professor f. G. Mariner of
Colby college in which he took for his
subject Ready for 1924" The speak
err mentioned four ways in WHICH
business men might be ready for the
new year THE first" he said, "was
to be firmly convinced that the world
is getting better and not worse:
second, to be more interested in u
reign of law, than in a rain of laws:
third, to be willing to pay the price
for successful Democracy: fourth,
lens with an open mind"
Prof. Mariner who is neither OPP
posed nor in favor to the problem
of helping the German children,
mentioned at the close Of his talk
that this problem is one of the best
tests for the appliance of the fourth
rule. He suggested that every bust
ness man look upon this plea with an
open mind and then do what he be-
lieves to he fair.

gument at Il.16 and spoke one hour
and "a minutes.
He opened by saying he had the
greatest contempt for Calvin and was
not defending his only in his duty as
an Investigator and prosecutor.
He accused Levin of falling into a
sewer of disgrace and to confessing
to the most damning conspiracy. He
attacked the argument Of Senator
Hinckley that Is of the IS witnesses
for the government were bootleggers.
Lewin's own record showed, he said,
that beginning when 1t was alleged
Calvin began paying him money his
income increased from s1S6S for the
first seven months in 1922 to sSe52.s6
for the next five months.
The district attorney made special
point of Calvin's t2timony that he
paid Grant $1,000 with which to pur-
chase an automobile. On the day be-
fore the automobile was bought. he
said. Grant deposited $500 in the bank
and the next day made $500 pay
nent on the car.
He emphasized the testimony that
tho sheriff had never raided or ordered
raid on Calvin's place. The only
raid made. he said was by Deputy
James Ross. who. he said. was an hon.
est deputy. when Calvin was away,
and that Grant sent Calvin to Jail be-
cause election time was approaching
and the people were beginning to talk
about non-enforccment.
Lewin's own books he said. showed
that beginning with the time when IL
was alleged Calvin began paying him
money that his income increased from
SlS6S for the first seven months Of
1922 to $685. for the next five months.
In other words. said the district at
torney, he sold his soul for $500.

ivory From Skinned Milk

Combining beauty with utility, q
material is being made from SKIM
med milk by process recently
brought to the United States frona
England. AS II is non infiammable,
odoriess, and can be drilled, glued or
dyed. IL has a multitude of uses as
a substitute for ivory, ebony, amber,
tortoiseshell, horn, and other similar
products. Besides, 1t may be used
as an almost perfect imitation of
many natural products of great
price, among them being Chinese
jade and lapis lazuli. A brilliant
polish Is easily obtained and 1t can
be bent. pressed, and, to some ex-.
tent, moulded, or machined. As it
is a conductor of electricity, It
may be used in making decorative
radio and lighting fixtures. Also it
has been found valuable for shipas

No Response to
German Relief at
G.. of G. Meeting

Although six citizens attended the
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms yesterday afternoon to discuss
the possibilities of giving for the re-
lief Of German children. four of those
present declined to be identified with
the movement and two did not express
views at all.
President Arthur J. Roberts Of Col
by College when asked to be local
negative. and he added that he did not
know one person in Waterville from
whom he could get a dollar.
The meeting was called by George
L. Crossman of Portland. State chair
man of the campaign. and l.. w
Sprague of Portland. director. was
also present.
Mr.. Crossman made the appeal that
if General Henry Allen. national chair
man. was behind the proposition there
was much ground for believing it TO
be worthy movement. for General AL
len has been in that territory for four
years and thoroughly investigated con-
ditionS.
Mr.. Sprague asked for suggestions
as TO what was to be done. President
Roberts suggested that local treas
urer be appointed TO collect the funds
and that letter OF appeal be mailed
from the State headquarters in Port
land. This suggestion did not wholly
meet with the approval of Mr.. Cross
man and Mr.. Sprague. but citizens of
Nateryille present seemed to think il
was good idea. Mr.. Sprague asked
how many present would not serve on
a committee in Waterville. and four
present Immediately put up their
hands and the other two did not vote
either way.
1t was finally decided to adopt Pres
ident Roberts suggo stion and to have
the subscriptions sent TO the Cham
Ter of Commerce office in Waterville
and remailed to the Port land head
quarters. Those present at the meet
ing were DR.. Arthur J. Roberts. preset
