DENVER, Nov. 16.-An earth
tremor of far greater intensity than
any registered on the seismograph
within the last two years was re-
corded at Regis College this morn
ing.
Starting at o'clock, the maxi
mum waves were reached between
sos and 500 and were very rapid.
Father A. w. Forestall. seismo-
graphist, estimates the distance at
about $500 miles but due to the
fact that the tremors started on the

So severe were tho waves that in

pen was over an inch in length.

ON SIDNEY ROAD

Autoists who frequent the RIVER
road on the Sidney side are welcom-
ing the order passed at the recent
meeting Of the city government to re-
pair the bridge over Loves Brook.
Since early last fall this bridge has
been in bad condition, although safe
enough to hold the weight of cars and
trucks passing over 1t. The planking
was somewhat damaged last summer
and other planks were placed on top,
making an extremely rough surface,
and as the bridge is situated at the
foot of two steep hills 1t is necessary
to make a run" to easily climb either
A few car owners reported damaged
springs from taking this method OF
climbing the hills in high gear. but
nearly all who were accustomed to the
place contented themselves with using
low or second gears, ande scaping the
inconvenience of a broke spring or any
other damages resulting from severe
shock to an automobile.

ords show a steady increase in at
tendance and interest. On April tth
there were ! present and enjoyed
a visit from Scout Richard Davis OF
Manchester, n. III. lie reported that
in that city there are II troops OF
Scouts, with total membership OF
about 400. Scout Davis is u second
class Scout.
The first rating which the boys
work for and which is necessary for
them to be admitted to Il troop is
that of Tenderfoot Scout. The re-
quirements for this rating are that
he must know the Scout Oath, Sal
ute, Laws, significance of the Badge,
composition ana history OF the
American Flag and the forms of
respect due it and lie able to tie nine
knots. AT present this troop. which
is Troop IL of WaterVille, has II
Tenderfoot Scouts with five studying
for the test. OF these eleven one i
nearly ready TO complete his second
class test. The requirements Of this
rating include knowledge of first aid
for general accidents. proper use of
the Scout tools, the ScmaphOrc Sig
nal System or the international
Morse code, doing Il mile in l. min
utes at Scout pace, having a bank
account, budding q fire in open, us
ing not more than two matches,
cooking meat and potatoes on oren
without utensils, use of compass and
other thoroughly useful attainments.
From this the boys work for the
rating of first class Scout, which re-
quires equally as much study of ahil-
ity building things. Beyond that
come the merit badges for parti-
cular ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

COBURN NOTES

President Arthur J. Roberts OF
rolhv College spoke in Chapel Tues
low morning. He spoke on the ad-
vantaees of a college education and
,bs modern view on college. Presi-
ssrt M Roberts stated that in his mind
= college education was the greatest
s.set that a man could have as it
snriched life. In regard to the great
number of young people going to
college today the president said that
As long as a person had the qualities
necessary to enter college and was
deslrous Of acquiring knowledge
there was no reason why he should
A kept out of college.
Norman TarboX of Skowhegan. a
,upil in the vocal department OF the
roburn school Of Music, sang in
chapel Tuesday morning. His
selections were "A Rose and You
and "The World is Waiting For the
Sunrise.
Mrs. Manter, vocal instructor, met
her pupils Tuesday.
President Roberts of Colby passed
nearly all of Tuesday morning in in
teyiewing seniors in regard to en-
trance to Colby in the fall.
The work on the minstrel show is
PROGRESSING rapidly and from the re-
tearsals it appears as though the
show would be even better than last
years. The boys rehearse every
afternoon from 2.30 to 4 and the end
men rehearse from I to S in the
evening".

Public Schools
Open on Monday

The public schools will open Mon
day for the spring term of the year
after a two weeks recess. The pu-
pills as well as teachers have been en-
joying this Snort vacation either at
their homes in town or visiting rela-
tives and friends elsewhere. Spring
weather has been ideal for outdoor
leisure, and while the boys have made
the most Of their opportunities to get
in as much baseball practice as pos
sible, the girls have not been idle,
many of them taking long hikes to
enlarge their records for walking.
The country roads have been quite
suitable for this and the State roads
are as dry as in summer, although the
gravel roads are still rough and per-
haps not very comfortable for tour
lists.

COLBY NOTES

The annual spring dance of the
members Of the junior class of the
Woman's division of Colby College
will be held at Foss Hall on Satur-
day evening of this week. Plans by
1.-THE committee have been practically
completed and the affair is to be one
Of the most pleasant of this year
with the junior women of the college.
The members of the Colby chapter
Of the lambda Chi Alpha fraternity
are to hold their annual initiation
hanQuet at the Elmwood hotel on
Thursday evening of this week. This
will be the eighth annual initiation
banquet that the Colby chapter of
the fraternity has held and a large
number Of members are expected to
be present.
There is considerable talk of the
college chapel period a compulsory
one for the members Of the Mems
division, attendance being required
1t least four times each week. The
poor attendance on the part of the
nen Of the college has made this
step seem as the only solution of the
problem and unless the attendance
within the next few days improves
remarkably. this undoubtedly will be
put into effect. Two years ago the
chapel exercises were compulsory
Tour times each week and the plan
worked successfully, but it was
chopped after the one year trial.
Professor c. Harry Edwards, d.
rector Of athletics and physical edu-
cation, returned Tuesday evening
nom Rochester, N. Y, where he has
oeen attending the annual conven-
aoa .a OF the American Physical Edu-

eports that the convention was the

Colby Debaters Due
For intercollegiate
Debate This Month

Ihe Colby debating teams are to
hold two dual intercollegiate debates
during the month of April, according
to an announcement which was
made yesterday at Colby college by
officials of the Colby debating soci-
ETY.. The first of these two dual de-
bates has been arranged with the
University of Maine and will be held
on the evening of April 9. The sec
ond will be debated with teams of
Clark University Of Worcester.
Mass, on the 18th Of this month.
In both of these dual intercolleci-
ate debates, the Colby negative team
will debate at Waterville while the
affirmative teams will be entertain
ed by the University of Maine and
clark at Orono and Worcester re-
spectively. Colby and Maine are old
rivals on the platform and in recent
years these two teams have staged
some excellent debates.
The question for both of the sche-
duled debates is to be the same
which has been supported by the
Colby team in their first two de-
pates, namely. Resolved That Con-
gress should have the power to pass
a measure over the veto of the su-
preme court by a two-thirds vote"

sary two thirds vote TO put the bill
over the veto in either branch.
With the Governor maintaining an
attitude of silence as to his intentions
toward these bills the legislature is
in doubt. 1t may be said however
that in certain quarters the feeling is
strong that he will. despite his re-
luctance to do so, make use of the
veto power in, at least, the case of
the tidal power bill and probably on
the railroad tax matter. True, this
sentiment comes, largely, from the
opponents of these bills. They claim
that in view OF his public utterances
and his special message to the leg
islature Gov. Brewster cannot, very
consistently. take any other course
on the Cooper bill.
They do agree that in the matter
of the railroad tax il is somewhat
different. He has indicated his dis
approval of it. but the manner in
which it has gone through the leg
islature leaves him in a position to
sign the bill without in any way be.

March 11th.. group of boys have
been meeting in the Junior high
school gymnasium for the purpose

Waterville has been very fortunate
SO far this spring in not having any
serious automobile accidents. Some
very close calls have been experienced
by many drivers, especially during the
last two weeks since traffic began to
increase swiftly, but with the traffic
officer in Post Office Square and at
other intersections, accidents should
be very few in number. Drivers
should, however, bear in mind that it
is also very good policy to watch other
cars and not shift the entire RESPONSE
hility to the officers, as they are un-
able to prevent some people from MAX
