KEEP WELL"

The season for deep winter SHOWS
approaches; there are hints of it's
coming. bringing with it certain re-
strictions on rural contact with the
populous centers. 1t is getting to be
matter for serious consideration how
the farmer may be assured of
prompt medical attendance on the
wants Of the farm home. That need
persists, and will continue to do SO
although 1t is within the power of
people living in the country to miti-
gate 1t in considerable degree.
Back in 1921 the Maine Public
Health Association adopted a slogan
urging periodical medical examina-
ton. This has been taken up all
over the country. The force OF 1t
was quickly comprehended once
pebble considered that when pain or
discomfort comes from disease the
trouble is usually well advanced,
whereas q medical examination
might have forestalled At. Keep
Well' is a slogan of this Associa-
ton, which. by the way boasts OF
more interested support from the
msdical profession than SO far as
known any other voluntary health
ASSOCIATION anywhere receives.
70 the degree that rural resi-
dents, far from medical attendance.
may make use Of preventive meas
ures to that degree they lessen their
need Of medical aid, although in this
day and generation such aid should
be. accessible. It il not for the pur-
pose Of denying that fact but for re-
minding people that what with pre-
vehtive measures, what. with tele-
phone connection with the city
doctor, what with remedial agents
that each household should have and
know how to use, the rural resi-
dents may in some respects be bet
ter of than were their forbears with
4 doctor who could not possibly have
the knowledge now Afforded.

Beautiful Sculpture
ST. Luke's ReredOS
'Special to Kennebec Journal

(SpeCldI u hSliCDSC oOoi1AoD
Boston, Mass, Sept. IA beauti-
full piece of ecclesiastical sculpture
in wood, a reredos for st. Luke's
Episcopal Cathedral at Portland, Me.
has been completed by Ernest Pelle-
GRIM, the Boston sculptor, and,
through the kindness of it's donor,
Canon Myles Hemenway of the Port
land cathedral, is temporarily on ex-
hibition at the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts. This rercdos is given to
the cathedral, together with a beau
tiful altar of French marble, by the
Canon in memory of his late wife.
The architectural plan for the screen
and the altar was made by Ralph
Adams Cram, the noted ecclesiasti-
cal architect Of Boston. The model
ling and sculpture of the screen was
done by Mr.. Pellegrini and the cary
ing and cabinet work at the studio
of Irving, Casson e. Davenport, under
Mr.. Pellegrinfs personal supervision.
The latter, in his modelling, has
secured the effect of the great redolf
in the cathedral at Seville, Spain,
but in no sense has he copied it.
He has secured the space compost
ton. together with the feeling and
light and shadow that are required
for so important a work, while at
the same time showing great origi-
nality in his design. The execution
of his design has resulted in some of
the most beautiful woodcarving ever
done in America.
1t is hard to exactly classify the
style Of this screen. 1t is Gothic, of
course. That is, it is based upon old
Gothic precedents, but it possesses
both French and Spanish quality,
without in any degree losing its own
originality or modernity OF thought.
Canon Hemenway purposes leaving 1t
on view in Tapestry Hall at the Mu-
scum until the middle Of October, or
until the altar that is now being
made at the johnson studios, is fin
ished. This is Of very fine Haute-
vile and fleur e-peche marble. In
stead of being stained or colored In
any way, the reredos will remain in
all the beauty of the natural wood,
until time has weathered down to a
darker and softer tone.
The whole reredos is designed to
set forth the idea of the Incarnation.
There is one big central panel, con-
tanning deep relief carvings Of our
Lady and the Holy Child. Ranged on
each side of this are two smaller
sculptured panels. beginning with
the Annunciation at the upper left,
the Visitation at the upper right, the
Nativity at the lower left and the
Epiphany at the lower right. Below,

MAINTAINING NEUTRALITY


This country having kept out OF
the League Of Nations would seem
under especial obligations to strictly
observe neutrality in European at
fairs. We can Ill afford to appear
aiding and abetting France in her
conflict in Morocco. First and last
there has been much written about
American aviators with the French
forces. II these were recruited in this
country or in any place where Uncle
Sam has extraterritorial jurisdiction
then we might Justly be criticised.
The administration does not intend
to be placed in that position.
There appears to be supposition
on the part Of some in France that
our Government shows lrfriendli-
ness to her in publicly stating its
position respecting neutrality with
regard to the Rifian conflict.
Such q conclusion is altogether far
fetched and unwarranted. In ad-
vsncing it the critics only serve to
emphasize the fact that the Sultan Of
Morocco really is but puppet in
this French colonization project;
that were the Rif1ans less brutal,
less dominated by fanaticism, in
short that. We're 1t not evident Riffian
success would make none too good
situation in North Africa unbearable,
the sympathies Of Americans natur-
ally would 90 out to a people strug-
Cling to free their homeland from
foreign control. Anyhow there is no
occasion for this country to violate
neutrality on behalf Of France in
this matter.

RATHER roo MUCH pRuaoAN

Accounts of one Druggan Of Chi
cago are being written. These are
not calculated to inspire youth in the
straight and narrow path. But Drug
gan's career Is not yet ended. Youth
better wait awhile before trying to
initiate it.
It is said he began as a gansster
in Chicago, schooled in getting easy
money" by hook or crook, presum-
ably, it is said, by crook. Be all this
as it may, Druggan in process OF time
gathered unto himself breweries.
Now brewery would seem to be an
awkward and cumbersome thing with
which secretly to violate the Vol
stead law under the nose of enforce
ment sleuths. But IL said sleuths
happen to have been appointed al
the behest Of politicians-well there
you are, and there was Druggar
right on the job making, so the story
goes, 1927 barrel on his beer.
OF course this could not go on un'
ruffled forever and finally Druggar
was put in jail, where 1t is said hi
has spent the past eight months $780,.
600 and enjoyed himself in soft bee
in the hospital, permitted to go and
come as suited his fancy. His guards
we are told, found him a princel,
host" Really this was getting to bt
rather too much Druggan and thu
authorities appear convinced his &C.
| tiyities should be curbed a little.

Facts, Not Sentiment
(Bostofl Post)

Because a life prisoner at Charles
town plays the violin very sweetly,
to the delight Of persons who have
heard him over the radio. and be-
cause Henry Ford has promised him
position IL released, movement
Is on foot to procure his pardon.
Neither his ability as q musician
nor the interest of Henry Ford should
weigh in the slightest, but undoubt-
eddy both things will. II the public
interest is sufficiently aroused and
its sympathy touched. people are
eager to overlook cold facts which
interfere with sentiment
Probably at the time this man was
convicted and sentenced there was a
demand for stern punishment and
summary justice. Now that the i'm
mediate details Of the murder are
forgotten his violin playing seems
of more moment than the crime for
which he was sentenced.
- We would not for q moment OPP
pose the release of a man who had
earned a pardon and was entitled to
a fresh start In life. but his case
should be predicated on his conduct
and the facts surrounding his
sentence rather than on the particu-
lar talent for awakening the interest
OF the public that he possesses.
Many unfortunates have ne friends
and no means of arousing publicity
enough to cause any interest in their
cases. Yet they are entitled to Just
as much consideration.

Wasn't the Big Brown Bear calling
the little rabbit on the telephone In
the last story? I hope he Is still on
the wire, Little Reader, for I'm cur
ious to hear what he has to say.
And SO are you, 1 know full well.
For every time that little bell
Gives a tinkle, calling me.
I'm full of curiosity.
"Did you see Old Mr.. Dogs Cross
Word Puzzle in this morning s
Bugle?" asked the big brown furry
animal. Splendid advertisement for
my lollypops. Already have had 20
orders. Goodness me, I hope there
enough on the Lollypop Tree"
did you see Mothers name right

bunny. she said she wished mine
were there instead"
"Just like sweet Lady Love-" an
swered the thoughtful old bear.
Mothers are always unselfish. Mine
was, too. l can remember she al
ways saved little honey in the jar
for ME. Well. goodby. Give my best
regards to your mother"
The next minute dear Uncle Lucky
hopped up on the pack porch, HIS oiu
wedding stovepipe hat on his head
and the Bunnybridge Bugle in his
right paw.
"Where's Lady Lover" he asked,
peeping into the kitchen.
I'm the flower garden" answered
the bunny boy. But she's seen the
answer to the Cross Word Puzzle"
well, I'm going to motor over to
see Old Mr.. Dog. cried happy Uncle
Lucky. "That old dog deserves q
new collar for remembering the
sweetest little lady in all Rabbit
land"
"Who is she?" asked Lady Love
tripping up the little path with an
armful of flowers and two roses, one
in each cheek.
"You, of course" answered the old
gentleman rabbit. who else could
it be?" and he raised his precious old
wedding stovepipe hat. Yes, he did
that nice, polite old bunny uncle. He
never forgot his manners, although
he didn't always remember his
pocket handkerchief. But if he
didn't, Little Miss Mousie always did

"Pollyanna's Jewels" the fourth,
Glad Book, by Harriet Lummis
Smith. author of "Pollyanna of the
Orange Blossoms" illustrated by H
Weston Taylor.
Like that mother described In his
tory who pointing to her children
said "These are my jewels" Pollyan-
ma now appears on the scene as the
mother of three active children-jew-
els, indeed, and jewels to be proud
of.
The Glad Game continues and it is
especially interesting to note It's sue
cess in the midst of busy family.
For instance, when Pollyanna Is
obliged to take rest from her
household duties and take a vacation
away from her family she finds IL
necessary to concentrate all her res
olution on playing the Game, assert
ing: II ought to be glad that Jimmy
thinks more of what is best for me
than of what he wants himself" ~
Pollyanna's desire to help the un-
fortunate and downtrodden is inspir-
ing. Whether that unfortunate is a
child of the neighborhood who Is an
outcast among the other children, or
is a dumb animal that some children
amuse themselves in torturing, Pol
lyanna is on hand to sympathiZe and
protect. Here is a real lesson taught
by the example of Pollyanna.
The story Is replete with humorous
incidents and abounds in good cheer.
AS in the previous "Pollyanna"
books, there is never a time when
the Glad Game cannot be played to
great advantage. The Game is de-
signed to take away frowns and cast
aside worry.
In the third and fourth Glad Books
Harriet Lummis Smith has proved
herself a worthy successor to Mrs
Porter. The interest in Pollyanna
increases and the optimism of the
Glad Game is infectious.
