audience by scenes taken in various
countries, showing the landing of the
aviators and the people of those
lands. A feature Of the show. was
the showing of the different ways in
which different people greeted the
f1iers. Natives swarm about the
landings and in some lands, feasts
were held, others. dances and In
many, the foreigners were contented
to gather about the American Officers
and gaze in wonder at them as If
they were birds of the sky.
The route Of the planes was shown
very clearly by enlarged maps with
movable planes" and dotted lines.
The jumps from one country to an
other was shown as the story adj
vanced and Porter Adams of Boston
who acted as lecturer during the en-
tertainment, explained very clearly
all points, SO that the spectators
were able to follow the aerial voyage
Of the birdmen perfectly.
The pictures were shown for the
purpose of arousing interest in flying
and no profit is made in showing
them as admission was free. They
were secured for Augusta for the
special benefit Of all the legislators
and state officials through the ef-
forts Of w. Fl. Gannett whose inter-
est in aviation is well known. Through
the efforts and interest Of George F.
Maxim of this city. the American
Legion members were informed of
the opportunity afforded Waterville
people also. and so invitations were
extended to the American Legion.

Of Auburn, federal prohibition enforce.

Rep. Bragdon Of Perham said that

except the committee" -,
No one appeared for or against acts

FORD AND REQ
NEAR COLLISION

A Ford coupe and REQ sedan
came very near meeting yesterday in
an unceremonious way on Temple
street near the junction of Charles
street. The smaller car was coming
down Temple. when the driver Of
the REQ shot out from the curb
where he had been parked and took
the rut. The driver of the coupe
applied his brakes. but having no
chains, this did not lessen the speed
of the car very much and not until
the coupe was almost upon the REQ
did the skidding wheels hold back.
The coupe turned quartering to the
street and barely missed truck
standing at the curb. Several COM
ments on near sighted drivers, Icy
streets and the universal make of
car were heard from the interior Of
the coupe but the REQ passed calmly
on into Main street, unhurt and I'M
interested.

Southern Europe
Gets Puzzle Bug

Rome. Feb. 81 CA. p. by malD-
The cross word puzzle craze has
reached Italy in it's triumphal march
from the United States.
The engaging pastime which has
made dictionaries best sellers, first
took Great Britain by storm and
then crossed into France where 1t
overcame the prejudices of thous-
ands of citizens of that nation which.
more than any other in Europe, had
been famous for it's pathological in
suarity and for its passionate in
sistence upon the purity of it's verbal
eXpressiveness.
Now. the fad. disguised as LIN
dovinello dele Parole Incrociate' has
crossed the Alps into Italy and its
proponents predict confidently that
nothing can stop its advance into
the heart OF central Europe and
even into the geograp hiCal crazy
quilt of the Balkans where Ian
guages and dialects abound.
Foreigners in Italy had for some
time interested and disturbed the
natives by their peculiar antics and
gesticulations in front of black and
white squares in foreign newspapers
but it remained for weekly news
paper to explain the mystery and IN
cidentally to introduce the cult.
That the 'parole incrociate" is but
a distant relative of our own cross
word puzzle is Immediately apparent
after literal translation of some OF
the explanatory definitions. Here
are several furnished with the sec
ond puzzle: In water l am strong
and gay; smiles at everyone but
rarely at him who touches it; 1t Is
pure: tolls when death appears; an
immense Adjective; always sacred;
beyond the octave: renowned for
works of genius; found in italian
politics; pcrceptible; more luminous
am 1 and more impalpablc.
In this puzzle there are eight right
and left words and 10 up and down
No word has less than four letters
and eight have eight letters each.
The newspaper announces 1t Will
publish n puzzle each week and Of
fers $4,000 lire in prizes for accurate
solutions during the year.
One large Roman daily has already
announced it's intention to publish
the puzzles. and other newspapers
are said TO be preparing to follow

Linesmen Kept Busy

Marion j. Hemminger. linesman
for the Postal Telegraph Co. passed
yesterday in Gardiner where he was
called by wire trouble. This is the
worst season of the year for the
linesman and Mr.. Hemninger has
travelled all over central Maine dur
ing the past. either fixing trouble or
looking for it.
The main cause of the trouble lies
in the fact that the frost is now com =
ing out of the ground and this exerts
sufficient force in many cases to dis
lodge telephone poles and to break
guy wires. A thick frost in the
ground this year complexities matters
all the more and in some instances
the frost has been found to penetrate
to a point lower than the base of
the poles.
1t is an arduous task. this looking
for trouble, and Mr.. Hemminger says
that it is all in the days work
whether he has to drive 40 miles in
a day with a horse and team or to
walk anywhere up to 10 miles.

PETITION OF13.4o0
Continued from PAGE One)

OF Washington when political par
ties were not recognized by law
Chairman Hinckley and several
other members of the committee ex-
pressed the opinion that the measure
as drafted is worthless and not in
proper form, and that IL passed, II
would be thrown out by the Supreme
Court.
The committee was also practically
agreed that they should exercise
their right of submitting an alterna-
tive measure along with the initiated
bill for the decision of the electorate.
Auto Protection at Grade Crossings
Proponents of law requiring
motorists to stop within ten feet Of
protected railroad grade crossings.
when gates or signals showed q train
approaching, agreed at the close Of a
hearing before the judiciary commit
tee. that the best solution was enact
ment of law similar to that in force
IN massachusetts. This would pro-
vide that motorists slow down when
approaching railroad crossings and
cross the tracks carefully. thus COW
ering the matter Of reckless driving
more generally.
Frank D. Marshall, secretary Of the
Maine Automobile Association. will
draft bill at the request of the COM
mittee. y. II. Staples. representing
the brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, told the committee of what he
termed the almost unbelievable ac-
t'ons OF motorists" in trying to beat

recklessness and sent warnings in
cases where due caution had not been
used.
Chairman Hincllley Of the commit
tee was OF the opinion that there was
enough law. that penalty clause
would have little weight with the
reckless motorist, but that suspension
of the license of reckless drivers
would bring about the desired result.
appointment of Administrators
Mr.. Nichols of the committee spoke
for the re-enactment of a law which
was in force until 1928, governing the
appointment of administrat tors, guard
ians,, conservators and receivers. while
Leonard Pierce of Portland thought
the present law. which permits trust
companies to act in these various ca
pacities was satisfactory. If the per-
SUNS So ueSlTeU, lie could
see no harm in allowing the court to
designate trust company to serve.
School Auto Registration Fees
Rep. Bragdon of Perham and DR..
Thomas, State commissioner Of educa-
ton. asked favorable report on the
bill which would exempt from the
| payment Of double registration fees
owners of automobile used solely for
the transportation of school children.
There was no opposition.

Date Pop Concert
Changed TO April %

The committee on the pop concert
to be presented after Easter by the
George n. Bourque Post of American
Legion has been obliged to change
the date previously announced Of
April Is. to Tuesday evening, April
%. This change was made neces-
sary by the fact that the federal in
spection Of the National Guard has
been called for April Is. and Of
course, military use Of the armory
has first place at all times. This
postponement to the next week will
result in more pleasure to the gen.

more time and opportunity for the
