Red Cross Points
To Less Number
Deaths bY Drowning

Washington, Oct. o4.-(AP)-
In the face of a growing popularity
of all the year round water sports,
the annual report of the American
Red Cross today revealed that there
is q gradual decline in the thousands
who died annually by accidental
drowning in the United States.
This is due, in its opinion, to the
adding of 22,S92 swimmers trained
in water life saving science to the
thousands the Red Cross has already
enrolled in it's life saving corps.
The slogan Every child swim
mer," has been adopted, the move
ment gaining $4,000 more children
than enrolled the year previous,
with 5,Ss4,9O7 school children en-
braced in the work on June 30, this
year.
Hand in hand with this service the
report showed that the Red Cross.
through its chapters, maintains a
corps of 924 public health nurses on
duty throughout the country. whose
function is to assist in developing
and maintaining the health of the
communities they serve. In the last
year these nurses made 1000. 49,
home calls. visited S3.34S schools and
inspected 1,473,031 children.
Cooperating in military prepared
ness, the report said, chief nurses
have been assigned to % general,
IL evacuation, and four surgical
hospitals and one station. The Red
Cross nursing service showed a total
enrolment on June 80, of 42,002, an
increase of 1866 over last year.

COAL STRIKE is
COSTING DEARLY

New York, Oct. 24-Aside from
what Inconvenience it has thus far
caused the public, the strike of the
anthracite mine workers. which be-
gan Sept. 1, has cost the industries
directly affected-the anthracite in
dustry itself and the anthracite
carrying railroads-about $165,000,
600, according to reports from var
ious interested sources. OF this sum-
about $7S,000,000 represents wages
which railroad and coal employees
might have earned.
In addition, there Is the loss to
merchants in the hard coal region of
Pennsylvania. This cannot be &C
curately estimated but based on the
lost earnings of anthracite and rail-
road employees. who make up a very
large part of the regions buyers, it
must be very large.
Also, about 10000 men are out of
work as a direct result of the strike
and the production of anthracite, as
everybody knows, has ceased.

4 N outstanding characteristic Of
~ all English architecture, espe-
cially in respect to small homes, is
its unassuming aspect. To be sure,
England has its medieval castles,
of noble and imposing grandeur.
But the typical English home does
not project up into the sky with
bold affront. On the contrary, the
tendency always is to bring the roof
close to the ground. in order to
make the breadth of the house more
apparent than its height. Perhaps
more than those of any other coun-
try, English homes give the effect
of nesting"
In the design here shown. this
characteristic has been skillfully
worked out The roof breaks down
low to the level of the second story;
yet, by careful adaptation of the
roof to the plan, the second story
rooms are all we'll lighted.
A graceful timber and plaster ef-
feet has been obtained through the
use of an harmonious wood trim
with the stucco exterior And the
heavy wooden shutters are in keep
ing with the timber design. The
wood-trim would look best if stained
or painted rich brown, since the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1925-10-26
An Attractive English Type

stucco walls will probably be tinted
either a delicate pink or a deep
cream. The importance of painting
the timber parts cannot be over
emphasized, since it is exposed day
and night to the weather. If un-
protected the trim will weather and
decay.
Another detail that is strongly
characteristic of English domestic
architecture is the use of the bay or
oriei window, by means of which
a number of rather large windows
are grouped together. Not only
does this produce an extremely
graceful effect, but it lets into the
interior of the house much addi-
tional sunlight. Besides the one
here shown in the front of the
house, there is also a bay window
in the dining-room on the oppo-
site side of the house, not visible
in the large illustration, although
shown in the accompanying plan.
Much glass and little construction
are in evidence in these bay win
dows, the result being a light and
airy effect that is highly pleasing.
The house illustrated here pro
vides six rooms and bath, and
seven closets. Opposite the small
main entrance is large open porch,
and, in addition, there is an en-
closed porch at the rear of the
house. Each bedroom has windows

EDITOR O'BR|EN
SPEAKS BEFORE
COLLEGE CLUB

Robert Lincoln O'Brien, editor of
the Boston Herald appeared Satur-
day evening before the members of
the Augusta College Club for their
first meeting of the season, which
was held in Ingraham Hall on Lin
coin street. Mr.. O'Brien served for
two years as private secretary to
President Cleveland and therefore
the subject of his address, THE
Presidency and its Significance" held
for his attentive and appreciative
audience, alluring and intimate side
lights of entertaining ancedote and
real instructive information as well.
Mr.. O'Brien said in part, that two
theories underlie the office of presi
dent, namely a president is a very
powerful head or he is merely a
f1gure-head. Instances were cited of
the figure head presidents of other
republics, while the United States
was most emphatically declared TO
be a republic guided by the presi-
dent who is the powerful head.
Geographically additions to our do
main, for instance, have been made
in nearly every case, by the decisions
of our presidents, previous to any
f''LlOH Nv congress anu the power OIL
the president Is increasingly con-
tinually.
Some details concerning the casual
manner in which elections to the
presidency are often made included
the extraordinary case of President
Cleveland, who at the Inauguration
of President Garfield on March q,
1891, was entirely unknown to that
nAH 1to m @f ckAt~
A. Arthur, who, smarting under his
recent removal by Republican
president from the position as col
lector of the port of New York con-
scented to become the Democratic
candidate for President when that
party was experiencing difficulties in
selecting candidate and Chester A..
Arthur became the next President
of the United States.
Mr.. O'Brien expressed his hearty
approval Of the policies of President
Coolidge and his ardent hope for an
extention of his tenure of office.
About sixty members and guests
of the Augusta College Club listen
ed to Mr.. O'Brien's entertaining and
instructive lecture and enthusiastic
cally expressed their appreciation of
the unique priveledge accorded
them. A short business meeting was
held at the opening of the meeting
with the newly elected president,
Mrs. Milton o. Dean presiding.
Mrs. J. Fuller Ingraham was the
hostess and she was assisted by Mrs.
Smith Cooper, Mrs. Willard Ellis,
Mrs. James Merrill. Mrs. Dwight
Higgins, Mrs. Lewis Johnson, Miss
Hazel Gibbs and Miss Katherine
Holway.

Does Your Child Obey You?

This possibility developed tonight
when Representative Reid of Illinois,
counsel for the air officer. made pubic
two statements challenging the consul
tutionality of the article, although ne
failed to reveal any indication OF the
procedure he would follow when the
trial begins Wednesday.
1.-THE right Of freedom of speech is
undoubtedly guaranteed by the constr
tuition" Mr.. Reid said, land if the 96th
article of war abridges that right II Is
unconstitutional and void"
In the second statement Mr.. Reid In
yited attention to the fact that al
though his client had been charged
with conduct prejudicial to good order
and military discipline by issuing Ger
tain statements in violation OF the
96th article of war, the truth OF such
statements was not questioned In the
charges.
IF the construction attempted to be
put upon that article by the war de-
partment is allowed to prevail ne
added. sit will set at naught the con-
stitution of the United States. and the
army and the war department will be-
come a law unto themselves. which
will never be permitted under our form
Of government"
Mr.. Reid asserted further that the
, war and navy department had previ-
ously been subjected to vigorous criti-
cism from within and that the state
! ments made by Col. Mitchell ARE mild
compared to those of Gen. Hooker,
Gen. Mcclellan, Col. Theodore Roose-
Welt and Admiral Sims, which were
published broadcast, yet no disciple
nary action was ever taken against
them"
