Teachers Convention
CONTINUED from Page One)

following the "downhill footsteps Ct
Greece" is a program of physical
education in the schools, both pub
lie and private. which shall offer OPP
portunity and desire for every DO,
and girl to participate in the right
kind of physical activity every day
preferably out of doors-Charles
III. Keene. NJ. D., professor of n.y.
giene and director of physical edu-
cation at University of Buffalo, de-
clared in an address before the De-
partment of Physical Education a;
the opening session.
Such a program, he said, should
include gymnastics, dancing, games
sports and athletics. each I'm a dos
age suited to the age, sex, skill and
envipenment of those participating.
Superintendent Walter j. Rideou'
of 4Dover- Foxcroft in an address be-
fore the Department of Rura.
Schools pointed out that the teach
er's work is pre-eminently work OF
opportunity, both in the school and
in the community.
The one great argument" he
said, "for the public school is that
it is the means of producing q
strong. intelligent body of citizens.
Many agencies must cooperate In
this work-the church, the home.
the library--but only as the individ
ual teacher recognizes and seizes her
opportunities will the lives of our
boys and girls now and in the flu
ture measure up to their full posi-
bilities."
A woman may be the next head of
the Maine Teachers Association. At
the convention tonight six names
were suggested for the presidency,
three of them women. Those men,

the privilege of free speech when he
issued the statements, also was quick
| ly rejected.
Successive pleas then were filed and
voted down. One ,contending that all
the charges and specifications against
| Colonel Mitchell should be vacated for
| the reason that they had not been
| prepared in accordance with courtmar-
| tial regulations provoked the most
| prolonged and heated arguments be-
! tween defense attorneys and the trial
| judge advocates in charge of the pros
| ecution.
Mr.. Reds motion on this point said
THE charge and each specification
| fail to state any offense of which this
courtmartial has jurisdiction for the
reason that they do not showbdhat:
1.-THE commanding officer of the
| United States investigated the charges
or ordered them to be Investigated;
"2-The commanding officer of the
| accused recommended a courtmartial;
"3-There was a preliminary inves-
tigation of the charges by the proper
officers as provided by the courtmar-
tial manual"
The defense placed special emphasis
on the fact that Maj. Gen. Ernest
Kinds, commanding the Eighth Corps
Area, on whose staff Colonel Mitchell
was serving when he made his attack
on the war and navy departments, had
not recommended courtmartial. 1t
called attention as well to the failure
of Brig. Gen. Rockenbach, command
ing the District of Washington, to pre-
fer charges, contending that If any
crime had been committed It was the
duty of these officers to take action
and that the war department. officials
who ordered the investigation and fl
nally brought the charges had no al
thority under the manuals provision
to do so.
Colonel Sherman Moreland, trial
Judge advocate, admitted that the
investigation had been made and the
charges preferred by direction OF
the secretary of war, and that the
court had been ordered by him by
direction of President Coolidge.
This is presidential court" Col
onel Moreland said in answer to
questions by Mr.. Reid. There Is no
requirement that the regulations
shall be carried out explicitly so long
as the substance is there"
II hate to think this is a case
where necessity knows no law" Mr..
Reid exclaimed, adding that This
is an abnormal case, indeed"
Colonel Winship held, and the
court agreed. that since the court
martial regulations were made by
the President of the United States he
could, as commander in chief of the
army and navy. direct Secretary
Davis to have the charges against
Colonel Mitchell investigated and
order a trial, as had been done. In
the same way, Colonel Winship de-
cided, the war secretary had become
Colonel MitchelIs commanding Of
ficer to all intents and purposes of
the courtmartial manual.
No intimation was given by Col
onel Mitchell or Mr.. Reid tonight
regarding their plans for tomorrow.
Shortly before the overnight recess
was taken, however, Mr.. RSid asked
Colonel Moreland for "a bill of par
ticulars," asserting that the charges
and specifications given him Were
too vague to use for preparation of
a defense" and he apparently still
was supplied with material which he
hoped to bring before the court.

HERE'S THE SECRET

You folks who in damp, cold.
miserable weather feel achy, lame,
rheumatic and stiff-just drop into
drug store and ask them for a
bottle of Mike Martins Liniment
(the liniment used in the big league).
Take the bottle home with you.
After you have taken good hot
bath, get somebody in the family
to thoroughly rub you with Mike
Martins Liniment like the directions
say on the bottle and in the folder
which comes With it. Don't be
afraid of catching cold-you need not
worry on that score, for the liniment
will warm and sooth you wonderfully
all night during your sleep and next
morning you will wake up feeling like
q new person. Rub it in thoroughly. 1t

Secretary Jardine pointed out that
the Department of Agriculture
through the Forest Service, for four
years has carried the burden of max
ing this annual observance a matter
of national Importance.
The Department of Agriculture
will be represented in the campaign
by the Forest Service, the Bureau of

fy realize the rapid rate at which
this Nations timber resources are
being exhausted a national forestry
policy. with Federal, State and local
governments all performing their
part, Will be assured. The Clarke
McNary forestry act opens the door"
Secretary Jardine stated
About S0,000.000 acres of idle for
est land in the United States must
be put to work growing timber
crops. Man-caused forest fires. which
every year sweep -about 5000. 900
acres of forest land. must be stopped
by an awakened public. Our pro-
ductlve forests must be made per
manent sources of timber supply,
through Intelligent management
Farmers, especially, should be
awake to our countrS's forestry
needs. One-third of all our forest
land is in the form of farm woodlots
and small holdings. Farmers also are
the greatest single class of wood
users These are sufficient reasons
why forestry is of prime Importance
to agricultural interests in all parts
of the country"
Chairman Lowden also issued q
statement, in part as follows:
Timber is the country's most
valuable reserve of stored wealth.
Fortunately Ii is the one natural re-
source that can be renewed and made
To serve perpetuaIly the needs of man.
But national progress makes heavy
demands upon our forests The on

problem. outside our national forests.
is very largely a State problem. That
means that the states themselves
must enact supplemental legislation
to round out and make effective a

great menace to forest resources.
Adequate fire protection, although

national attitude. Our industries, our
landowners. our farmers. all our citi-
