THE CHAPMAN CONCERT.
Ellsworth Promised Musical Treat
Thursday, March 20.

Thursday, March 26.
The Chapman concert is near at
hand-Thursday evening of next
week at the high school auditorium
are the date and place. Mr.. Chapman
and his artists should be accorded a
welcome in Ellsworth. These con-
certs have grown to be the musical
event of each season in some of the
larger towns of Maine, but it is a
long time since Ellsworth has been
favored by one.
The festival choruses deserve grea'
credit for their loyalty by studying
each year the great master music of
the programs for the festivals in Ban
gor, Lewiston and Portland, and
these concerts are given to stimulate
and assist them in their local eX-
penses, so the great public who
patronize and enjoy these concerts,
are helping local interest that they
should be proud of in their own
town.
One of the artists which Mr.. Chap
man will bring to us on his spring
tour is Miss Muriel II. Wilson,
young lyric soprano, unknown to
Maine music lovers. Miss Wilson
is petite and girlish, with d sweet
smile and pleasing personality. Her
voice and manner remind one of
Alma Gluck when she first came to
Maine, sweet and appealing,
especially in the mezzo-voice effects.
Miss Wilson will sing old-time
faYorite ballads and songs, as well
as operate ariaS of the lyric color
atura brilliancy
The other artist on this trip will
be Giuseppe Lombardo, the wonder
fal new tenor, who has been coaching
with Fucito, who was the accom-
PIANIST for Caruso. His marvellous
voice is declared to be second only
to that great artist
Mr. Chapman himself will preside
at the piano, which fact will add
greatly to the concert

EVANS DELAYS
FLIGHT To
PACIFIC
Weather Holds Up His Plan
to Break Transcontinental
Records

Postponement Of his record. break.
ing transcontinental nonstop flight
until spring was announced today
by Edward s. Evans, millionaire
Detroit Observation-Disclosures, who
is financing the attempt.
Arrangements for the flight had
been fully completed and Evans
expected to hop off from New York
before November 10. but adverse
reports from the Weather Bureau
caused the sportsman reluctantly 20
abandon temporarily the idea ef
crossing the continent in twenty
four hours or less without landing.
The present weather forecast, It
was stated, indicated that Novom-
Der will be a freak" month, with.
out the probability Of reasonably
favorable conditions prevailing over
the United States on any one day.
''This does not mean that have
abandoned the idea, Evans de-
clared today. Next spring. when
weather conditions are better, we
shall make the attempt, using a
giant Sikorsky plane of greatly
improved design.
sIndications now point to our
being able to make the jump then
in about twenty hours.
There is also a good chance OF
our making a non stop round trip
flight in, say, forty-five hours.
an any event, during tie win.
ter months, we shall leave nothing
undone. in our effort to prepare
for a flight which will hang up a
number Of good records for the
world to shoot at"
AS an interlude, Linton Wells
who, with Leigh Wade, was to
have piloted Evans across the cont.
nent, is now formulating plans for
a spectacular air stunt to be
staged by Evans in the vicinity OF
New York between now and
November Is.
Evans, a keen aviation enthusi-
asst, is sponsoring the attempt to
shatter the present twenty hour
and-fifty minute transcontinenta
record as part of his program to
add impetus to the present move
ment toward developing CONNER
cial aviation and for the pleasure
making it would give him.
He believes that If commercial
aviation is to be developed along
constructive lines, the public iTlA
terest must be sustained and its
present fear of flying dispelled.
To this end he is directing his
efforts and has dedicated a portion
of his fortune.

A Question and An Answer

"When is gold-flled watch case not goId-flled
watch case?"
The answer is easy: when it is not stamped
gold filled"
In cooperation with the Better Business Bu-
reau and legitimate manufacturers, local mer-
chants handling watches do not advertise or rep
resent watch case as gold filled unless it is
stamped gold filled"
So, it is fair for the public to assume that any
watch case is not gold filled unless it is actually
stamped gold filled
This is only another indication of the grow
ing sentiment throughout all branches of bust
ness to make doubly sure the public is completely
informed regarding the merchandise advertised
and sold.
