Believe Mothers
AS Well as Fathers
DESERVING Children
Should Be Punished

Mothers who desert their children
should be punished as well as fathers
who act in a similar wayu in the
opinion of CRUDE B. Cornish, secre-
tary of the state board Of charities
and corrections.
Secretary Cornish recently advised
authorities in Brewer to bring action
against Mrs. Christine I. Avery of
Hampden, who was held under 5000
bail upon the charge of deserving her
nine children, from four to Is years
of age, last November. Her case will
be heard at the September term of
the Penobscot county superior court.
Il appreciate the fact" said Secre-
tary Cornish, that scores of men
have deserted their families in Maine
but have not been diligently fol-
lowed and punished as believe they
should be.
II am not insisting that every per-
son who deserts his children should
be sent to Jail, but 1 do believe we
have been quite lenient in regard to
desertion and support cases.
There are more than 1900 children in
the custody of the state board of
charities and corrections. Many of
these children were deserted by their
parents who are not sharing the re-
sponsibility of making proper provis-
inn for the children.
Several cases have come to our
attention where a mother failed to
care for her children in spite of the
fact that the father was willing to
provide an adequate financial sup
port. five have been lenient with
the men deserters, think we have
been more lenient with the women
deserters.
I'm a recent case coming before the
Bangor municipal court the mother
left her home at Brewer and went to
live with her brother at Hampden.
She obtained employment and appar-
emily enjoyed herself while her hus-
band unsuccessfully labored to prop
erly provide for the family.
1t was at first suggested that the
children should be comitted into our
custody. The father cannot work and
at the same time give his children
proper care as the children are in
clined to be bit unruly. In all
probability the father will be brought
into court very soon and placed on
probation. We are doing this to pro-
tect the children and likewise the
state"
81 thoroughly believe" sayG Secre-
tary Cornish, chat it should be made
in creasingly difficult for a father or
mother to desert his or her children
in the state of Maine"

In Town of Dexter

Dexter, June 20.-The Exchange
Hotel, owned by a syndicate of To-
cal business men, has been leased to
the Augusta Hotel Company. pro-
prietors of the Augusta House,
which will take over the manage
ment of the local hostelry next Mon

the past year has been conducted by
Kimball w. Morse, who came here
from White River Junction, VT.
The Augusta House people will

it is understood, maxi repairs and
improvements to the Exchange.
Manager F. C. Gates of the Augusta
House was here recently and in
spected the local hotel and outlined
certain improvements that will be
made. The fact that the house has

the travelling public and also to To-
cal folks who are anxious to have a
first class hotel conducted in this
town.
The lease is for a one-year term

sage circumstances might warrant.
No, there was no red tape or any
restrictions whatever, but despite
the fact that some 1000 people
stormed this pretty little town there
were no accidents or untoward Incl
dents. There was ample policing
all day and the general efficiency
and courtesy of the highway patrol
men and the two companies of Ma
tional Guard was audibly comment
ed upon frequently. This latter con-
tingent came from Augusta and ar
rived about A. NJ. and the men
were deployed for police duty.
Toward noon Governor Brewster
and party arrived from Newagin,
where they had passed the night. To-
gether with Commander Macmillan,
officers of both ships and General
Greedy, he moved about the wharf,
greeting many grown-ups and chill
dren. At the insistent demands of
a small army of movie camera men
as well as other photographers, the
party lined up for several shots, first
the big three, Macmillan, Brewster
and Greedy, and then the officers Of
both ships.
Shortly after noon parade | was
formed led by the Fifth Infantry
band of Portland and marched to
the First Parish Congregational
church, where Fluctuations of the oc-
casion were exchanged. Gov. Brew
ster opened with glowing tribute
to Names noted explorer, a man
symbolizing the highest qualities,
and possessing the spirit of the Vik-
ings in his leadership of the present
expedition"
Commander Macmillan replied in
a quiet, self possessed way and aft
er reviewing his plans up to arrival
at Etah, said:
1.-The three amphibian planes of the
expedition will then be put into OPP
Grafton and an air base established
ESQ miles from Etah on Cape Thorn
as Hubbard Axel Heiberg island.
From there we will fly out over
the drift ice to that great white
blank spot in the northwest. In one
day with our airplanes we can cover
as much area as we could in three
months by dog team. Our work
should be finished by August 25, and
we should be back here about Sep
, TENDER 20 to tell you what we have
DONE"
Other speakers heard were Pres.
Grosvenor of the National Geograph-
ic Society. Pres. Stills of Bowdoin,
Gen. Greeley and Lieut.. Commander
Byrd. Commander MacMillon was
then presented with a flag by the
Maine Aviation unit.
The parade was again taken up
and marched to the wharf where
was found waiting thousand chill
dren with toy balloons and after the

to be there. AS the planes fly out for
a distance of about ESQ miles on each
Of their flights. there will be visi-
bility Of at least 20 miles on each side
that will permit a close examination
Of the surface below to determine
whether there is land. Thus on aut OUT
going and return trip of two places
about 10000 square miles of arear can
be examined from the air, and MacMil-
Ian is certain that II land is there he
will find 1t.
The guests on the Bowdoin included
DR.. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the
National Geographic Society. which is
sponsoring and financing the MacMil-
Ian expedition. He will go as far as
Sydney, N. S. DR.. Grosvenor said he
had never seen any explorer SO affec-
tionately greeted as Macmillan had
been, and expressed his entire conf
dence in his ability to successfully ac-
complished the work he had under
taken.
Yesterday Commander Macmillan
and the men of the Peary, the other
ship Of his expedition, as well as those
on the Bowdoin, received their official
farewell at Wiscasset. but Commander
Macmillan always stops at Monhegan
Island going and returning from the
Arctic. He does this for practical and
sentimental reasons. His ship Is made
ready for sea here and on the island he
has many friends whom he likes to
visit.
The Bowdoin dropped anchor in the
sheltered harbor last night and early
today was brought to the landing
wharf, where water was taken aboard.
AS she passed out of the harbor to-
day IL members of the Civilian Club
of Minneapolis, who came to Wiscas-
set yesterday to see the ships sail and
who accompanied the Bowdoin, dashed
after the Arctic ship in small boat,
caught up with her and threw aboard
their mornings catch of fish, mostly
cod, enough to last the Bowdoin's crew
until they reach Sydney, next Thurs
day. At Sydney the Bowdoin will
again join the Peary, which sailed
ahead last night after stopping at
Boothbay Harbor and taking on wa
ter.
Early this morning a heavy fog
hung over Monhegan Island but by the
time Commander Macmillan sailed the
skies had cleared. To the north, how

expedition had he been so well
equipped as he is in the present. All
that modern science and equipment
affords is available for him on this
trip which bids fair to be epochal in
it's results.
1t was a day of delightful democ-
racy. There wasn't any red tape ex-
cept on the uniforms of some of the
officers. The two ships of the expe-
dition, the Bowdoin and Peary, were
completely overrun with curious peo-
pie. The craft gave one the impress
sion of crowdedness. Supplies and
equipment were in evidence on all
sides with the three great Amphib-
ian planes hogging the space on the
Peary. But tucked away on this
boat was found one of MacMillan's
emergency outfits, a nice little coop
containing a half score Of carrier
pigeons, ready in the event of failure

trained eyes of the island fishermen

around the BAY of Fundy, anyway.
Last night the leader of the expedi-
ton and several members of the

Of guests and relatives of the crew,
who accompanied him to the island,
were guests at an informal dinner at
Island Inn. There were brief speeches,
mostly dealing with personal remin-

py one.
Relatives Of those who sailed said
they were so confident of MacMillan's
ability In the Arctic and impressed by
the elaborate precautions taken
against disaster that they felt little
fear for the safety of the party.
Commander Macmillan said he did
dition but said of course there al
ways was the possibility of his ships
being frozen in the ice. Using the
navy airplanes in the work of ex-
ploration, however. would shorten that
task so they should be able to start
