PLAN IMPRESSIVE
( RECEPTION FOR
NOTED VISITORS

About the middle of this afternoon
the governors of the various states of
the Union who arc at present attend
ing the annual governors conference
in Maine will pass through Water
Vile on their way to the northern part
of the State, and although their stay
here will be short, the citizens Of the
city are to spare no efforts to make
their visit as pleasant and impressive
as possible. A committee of Water
vile people numbering about so, un-
der the leadership of Mayor Paul r.
Baird. has prepared a program which
will make the Is minutes that the
visitors are here busy to the extreme
and the people of the city will be
ready for their arrival about $50
o'clock.
The automobile procession carrying
the governors will come from Oak
land, across the Emerson Memorial
bridge and up Silver street. From
Silver street the route of the process
sion will be from Silver to Main
street. up Main street TO Postoffice
Square, from the square up Center
street to Pleasant street, over Pleas
ant street to Park street and down
Park street to Monument Park where
exercises the procession will resume
its way down Elm street to Temple,
down Temple street to Main street. up
Main street to College avenue and up
College avenue to Fairfield.
The orchestra of the Waterville Sem
Tor High school will provide musical
program under the direction of Mrs.
II. C. Marden. Last spring the orches-
ira outplayed many high school or
chestras at the New England conclave
, of music in Boston and was awarded
a beautiful silver vase as a prize, and
because of this, 1t was though most
appropriate that the orchestra enter
tain the guests this afternoon.
The short time that the governors
are to be in Waterville makes it i'm
possible for there to be any speeches
made. Each governor at the con-
clusion of the exercises is to be pre-
scented with a souvenir of the city,
given by the Waterville-W inslow
Chamber of Commerce.
The souvenirs, which will be pre-
scented by number of young ladies,
are attractive little booklets, con-
tanning full information of the city
and the many advantages that are
to be found here. Each booklet is
enclosed in a buff colored envelope,
at the top of which is an attractive
little reproduction of a pine branch.
Across the envelope are the words:
"Waterville, Maine" in large type.
The cover of the booklet is inscribed
with a picture of the Waterville city
hall and bears the words, water
Vile, Maine. The Elm City. The
Governors, Our Guests, July 1, 1925.
Chamber of Commerce" In the
booklet are descriptive literature
concerning the city and many pic
lures of the interesting spots and
buildings.
The committee in charge of the
entertainment is very desirious that
the city be decorated with the Ma
tional colors and it is hoped that
every house along the route over
which the governors will pass on
their trip through the city will be
decorated with a flag or bunting.

Predict Brilliant Future
For Youthful ViOlinist

Mention has been made several
times in Winslow's column of the
Kennebec Journal of the talent dis
played by little Bernard Shiro,! son
of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. II. Shire off this
town, as violinist, and it will
create and renew interest in the lit
tie fellow when his many. friends
know that recently he was accorded
the privilege of playing before the
worlds noted and greatest violinist,
Leopold Auer. Master Bernard is at
present, and has been for some time
past pupil of Max Cimbollex of
Waterville, who is known as violin
list and teacher of great repute. He
takes one lesson a day from Mr..
Cimbollek, and is making great pro-
gress. Mr.. and Mrs. Shire were
most happy to hear the prediction
of a most brilliant future for their
son, from Professor Auer. Young
Bernard will, at some future time
undoubtedly become pupil of this
great artist and teacher, and the me-
thod of study under which Mr.. CHM
bollek trains his pupils, and has
instructed the little fellow, was most
heartily endorsed by the Professor.

Punishments for Those Who

Washington automobile drivers

appear in traffic court for park

nits denied them when Resistance

was announced today by Director
of Traffic M. o. EIdridge.
In order that careful study may
be made Of individual operators
records, Director Eldridge will ask
Congress this winter to amend the
traffic act by authorizing q
staggered" system of drivers
permit renewals.
TO Go On Through Year
Under the present law all drivers
permits must be renewed annually
on March 81. This will impose so
tremendous burden on the permit
officials that proper study Of the
cases will be impossible, Director
Eldridge believes.
He will ask that the traffic law
be amended to provide that drivers
permits be good for one year from
the date issued, without stipulating
any specific date for their renewal.
II this system is adopted, renewals
will go on throughout the year.
The staggered" system not only
will permit a checking up OF the
drivers records as operators, but
also will permit physical examine.

ton is raised, for eye and car de-

If the staggered system is adopted,

issued under the same conditions

Mrs. Gardener, Former Civil
Service Commissioner,
Makes Request

Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, former
Civil Service commissioner, who
died last week, leaves her brain
to the service Of science, accord
ing to her win. which was filed
here today.
She requests 1t to Cornell Uni
versity. The only condition at
tached to it is that "a depicting
illness or some special brain dis
turbance shall not have produced
such brain disintegration as to
render it no longer representative
of the brains of women who have
worked for the public welfare"
Doctor Here to Decide
Mrs. Gardener was the only won1-
an ever to hold the office of Civil
Service Commissioner.
Doctor Robert Y. Sullivan, of
StoneIeigh Court, was authorized to
remove the brain and to decide
upon the suitability for service to
science.
Brain in Good Condition
Friends of Mrs. Gardener today
said that while her will requests
that Doctor Robert 7. Sullivan re-
move her brain that she later
voiced the desire that the removal
be made by Major Frank Francis
at Walter Reed Hospital, who
treated her in her last illness.

OF women's brains in comparison
with mems brains with the view
OF establishing that women are AZ
competent as men in the perform

A textbook she wrote on this sub
Ject is considered the best Of its
kind in this regard and held as
authoritative by scientists.
