EVERYBODY GETS A.
CHANCE TO SPREAD
CHRISTMAS CHEER.

The second annual municipal
Christmas tree for the kiddies will
be held this year on the corner of
Second street and Kinsley avenue.
on Christmas eve. Everyone in
town will be afforded an opportun-
ity to contribute to the merry-mak-
ing fund, a dozen jars being dis
tributed around town to catch the
pennies, nickels and dimes of the
holiday shoppers. The holes in the
tops of the jars, however, have been
made large enough to accommodate
two bit pieces, even halves and
whole dollars, so that the extra
generous person may reap the full
benefit of the greater blessing that
comes from giving rather than re-
ceiving.
There never was a more beauti.
full or merrier public Christmas
festivity than the first municipal
tree last Christmas eve, despite the
fearfully cold weather. This years
event should, and no doubt will,
eclipse the former effort The same
jolly old Saint Nick will be on hand.
Music in profusion, vocal and in
strumental, will be provided. Every
thing points to a wonderful cele-
bration on Christmas eve.

The revival of the old-time

headway in this country, and the
efforts of Winslow is along the line
of popularizing the spirit of carol
ling on Christmas eve and day.

FIRST MEET OF THE
LOCAL RIFLE CLUB
A GREAT SUCCESS

The Winslow Rifle club very sue
cessfully held its first shoot Sun
day on the new range, all those
participating, pronouncing this first
venture a distinct success.
About % members of the club
showed up while quite a number
of visitors came to see the first
practice.
Shooting began at the 200 yard
mark, each of the targeters firing
ten shots. While no remarkable
score was made, the major portion
of the men, demonstrated the fact
that the Army Springfield rifle was
nothing new to them. With a few
more practice shoots will be de-
veloped, we believe, number of
excellent marksmen.
Pit work was very ably handled
by c. C.. Meyer, while the action OF
the contestants was supervised by
c. C. Blumlein and F. J. Fischer
All work was handled according
to the army Small Arms Firing
Manuel"

day, December 18th, the various
members planning to leave for the
range about l p. m. All members
are asked to report at the Western
Union building where transporta-
tion cars may be provided for and
where officials in charge will be
able to determine the number of
participants for the day. At the
present time the president of the
organization is attempting to es-
tablish a register station at the
telegraph station so that all mem
bers may be acquainted with plans
for the day.
New members may be register
ed at the range or are asked to get
IN communication with w. B. Darl

Recreation
Recital This Evening

Is it possible for a singer to sing
a duet with herself?
Can living voice and the same
voice re-created on an instrument
be SO identical in tone quality that
they cannot be distinguished, one
from the other?
These are some of the questions
questions in which every person
of culture must take a deep inter
est-they will be answered at the
recital to be given at the Washing
ton school auditorium tonight. In
vitations to this affair, at which
Elizabeth Spencer, the popular
American soprano and Lucille Col
lette, the young Prisian violinist,
will appear, have been given to
several hundred people in Winslow,
and interest in it is keen.
The appearance of these cele-
brated artists, of course, would
be sufficient to arouse enthusiasm
of music lovers here, but the fact
that they will lend their superb
art to the laudable work of reveal
ing conclusively that the marvel
Gus achievement of the recreation
of musical sound has been attain
ed, adds immeasurable interest to
the occasion.
In the coming recital these art
lists will sing and play in compar-
ison with their art as re-created by
the New Edison, to enable the aud
ience to judge whether or not the
living performances can be made
to live forever. The audience will
try to pick the two golden threads
of tone apart-to say which one
lives for the moment and which
one has been made immortal. Can
it be done? Cards of admittance
can be secured at the Central News
company if you wish to have this
question answered.

was made last week by Ed. A. John

Hutchins, division engineer of the
state highway department at Hol-

of the section of the stream above
the bridge considerable strain is
brought to bear on the south pier
at present, and the new span will
be added with the view of eliminat-
ing the possibility of the bridge
washing out during high waters.

To Happy Human

Dancing is just as necessary for

Orkney, Scotland.
He regrets, however, that mod
ern dancing tends to thrust aside
"some of the most beautiful dances
that we have inherited from the
past"
Country Dances" he said, have
behind them that intangible, inde-
finable, yet living force-the force
of national sentiment and patriot
ism"

POLITICAL ROW
THREATENS THE
ATHLETIC UNION
By HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, March 2.-Another
political row, as serious as the in
terhal dissension caused by the
Paddock controversy, is threatening
the unity of the Amateur Athletic
Union.
The New England Association,
one of the strongest organizations
in the membership of the A. A. L.
is in revolt because the national
organization refused to punish Will
lie Ritola, star Finnish distance
runner, for failing to appear in Il
meet in Boston last week.
Charging that Ritola had promis-
ed verbally to enter and $40 in ex-
pense money had been advanced TO
him, the New England Association
suspended him when he failed to
appear at the meet.
Ritola appeared before the regis
tration committee in New York and
explained that he didn t go to Bos-
ton because he was in Baltimore the
day before the meet and did not
receive his tickets from his mana
ger, Hugo Quist.
The New York registration com
mittee then absolved Ritola from
blame and vote of the National
Registration Committee was taken
by telegraph in which an over
wheIming sentiment was expressed
in favor of lifting Bitola S suspen-
sion.
Notice was received here today
that the New England Association
still considered Ritola to be under
suspension and that any runner who
competed in a race with him would
not be allowed to run in the New
England. area National. officials
maintain that a Subsidiary organi-
zation has no authority ito suspend
an athlete when he has been clear
ed by the National Registration
Committee and there is the rub.
