Decision Made
Not to Re-appOint
General Mitchell

Washington, Mar. 3-Brig. Gen.
William Mitchell, about whom the
air power controversy has revolved
for some time. will not be continued
as assistant chief of the army air
service when his present appoint
ment expires March rs.
1t was learned authoritatively to-
day that the next assistant army air
chief will be selected from brief list
of names now before SecrtWeeks
of names now before Secretary
Weeks, and that this list does not
include General Mitchell, who has
been an ardent advocate Of udfca-
ton of the government air services
despite administration opposition.
1t was made known today that the
nomination for the place would be
sent by President Coolidge to the
special session of the senate, which
was called for noon tomorrow, and
that it would conform to any recon-
n endation Secretary Weeks might
make. Failure of Gen. Mitchell to
receive the appointment, which car
ries the rank Of Brigadier General.
will return him automatically to the
rank of ColOntI.
The brief :;sI now 1efore Secre-
tary Weeks includes eiigibles recon-
mended by Maj. Gen. Patrick, chief
of the army air service, Maj. Gen.
John l.. Hines, chief Of staff, and
others whose advice Mr.. Weeks has
sought in his efforts to find man
whose qualifications for the assign
ment cannot be questioned.

FIRST AUTOMOBILE TO
CLIMB TICE HILL

For the first time an automobile
has climbed to the summit of Tice
Hill, the famous testing ground for
army motorcycles near Bakersfield,
Cal. The car which made the sue
cessful ascent was q Maxwell stock
touring car carrying five passengers.
''Tice Hill has always been regard
ed as an insurmountable wall to any
motor car" says w. Il. Hunt. local
Maxwell dealer. 1T has been a
proving ground for motorcycles
and only motorcycles of the greatest
power, piloted by the most skilful
and daring drivers. No one ever
dreamed that any automobile would
ever be able to turn the summit.
This Maxwell accomplishment is
power and many improvements
made in the good Maxwell by Chrys-
Ter engineers in the past year"
The difficulty of the stunt success
fully undertaken by the Maxwell
may well be imagined when more is
known concerning Tice Hill. The
average grade is about 30 percent
almost wall. 1t is So feet long.
1t has no roadway--not even wheel
tracks to follow No chains were
uso1 and the car carried its stand
ard tire equipment of 90 inch bal
looms. The climb is regarded rs
the most difficult ever attempted by
an automobile.

SPORT
CHAT

Ben Houser viii not manage the
Augusta Millionaires this year.
That's definitely settled. We've talk
ed direct with the old fox himself
and he states positively that he has
signed to handle the Bar Harbor Ma
hobs the coming summer. TO many
this apparently sounds the death
knell for baseball in Augusta. But
there are still a few who believe
that team will represent the Cap
ital City this summer.
1t is true that nearly every fan
one talks with at present is either
a potential or out and out Grape
hanger. A funeral chant has been
kept up all winter and the psyche
logical effect has been to convince
real fans that a team this year is
an impossibility. But while there's
workers there's hope. and these are
in evidence and only awaiting the
proper time to agitate.
For four years A ugusta has had n
winning team and one that has
proved a real asset to the city. Iii
nancing the project has been real
job and a few loyal fans of two dis
den during that period. 1t is need
less to mention names. These men
have labored well and delivered the
goods in the form of finance and hard
work. They deserve a rest or at least
relief. But there are others who now
signify they are willing to take up
the task.
Several plans are being discussed
to raise a fund that will insure q
team. Prominent among these is
the proposition to have the Ameri-
can Legion Post of Augusta put
over some form of entertainment for
the benefit of the baseball team.
Should the Posts consent be obtain
ed it would mean success as this
organization has never started any
thing that it has not finished
The Posts spirit behind the enter
prise is what every fan would de-
light to see.
With all due respect for the abil-
ity Of Ben Houser, there has TO 4
certain extent existed a sentiment
for player-manager. This year,
due to Ben being grabbed by Bar
Harbor. 1t certainly would be good
time to try out this plan. AS to the
man for the job, we hold a brief
for no one in particular. but fans,
Just think this over: What's the
matter with Nal Morrell, coach at
Cony High? It's early yet, but
there's nothing like getting an early
start. Let's hear from some OF the
fans on the subject. Agitate and

Statement Of Facts
The textile industry of Maine
prospered during and after the war
but the profits, instead of being di
vided as regular dividends in con-
siderable part of the industry were
divided as stock dividends, thus
greatly increasing the capitalizatio
and forcing the mills to earn more.
in some instances twice as much
money, with substantially the same
number of workers. The increase in
the amount Of work in the cotton in
dustry is from SO 1870 to 1000, &C
companied by a reduction in wages
Of 1870 and reduction in earning
capacity from oVerwork which
amounts to more than 1920.
Women weavers who were running
1G TO II looms have been required
within the past few weeks to run IS
and 40 looms. Women workers have
complained to public health officials
that If they take one minute to get
Il drink of water it costs them the
loss of one hours wages to catch up
with their work; that to run 40
looms walking $50 feet back and
forth all day.
Many of these women are mothers
and prospective mothers. The death
rate Of infants under one year of
age in Lewiston in 1924 was the
highest of any city in the United
States. The rate in other cotton
manufacturing centers in Maine is
singularly significant.
Many Of the textile workers are
sinking into a state of suilen despair
There are rumorS that a general
strike may break out spontaneously
at any time In the present condi-
ton of retail business in the cotton
mill centers general strike would
be financially disastrous to the re-
tail merchants and property owners
The public health department and
the labor department are without
power to remedy the situation. The
legislature alone has the power to
protect the health of women workers
and the public health, welfare and
safety.
