On another. charge on warrant
signed by G. C. Goldsmith of Vassal-
boro, owner of the Ford touring car
which Antworth was driving, and
which as in collision with coupe
owned and operated by Jasper C.
Hamblin of Auburn, alleging that
Hamblin was operating MS car at a
rate of speed in excess of the Ia
mile limit within the compact or set
tied section of the town, the res
pondent was found not guilty and
released.
The speeding charge followed a
collision in which Mr.. Hamblin' S
coupe struck the Goldsmith machine
as Antworth turned from the right
side of the highway into the yard
by the Vassalboro creamery plant.
The damage to the Goldsmith car
was nominal, but Mr.. Hamblin's au-
tomobile left the highway, run up
onto an embankment and then
turned over. Fortunately none of
the three occupants were injured but
considerable damage to the car re-
suited.

was elected president of the orches-
ira, Sunday afternoon at the annual
business meeting which was held at
City Hall. Mr.. Beauchaine who is
one of the first violins, has been a
member of the executive board of
the orchestra and has put much time
and energy into the work of making

cessful organization.

Rum Propaganda
Denied by Quebec

New York, Oct. 10-(AP)-Charges
by the Anti-Saloon League of Ameri-
ca that European and Canadian liq-
uor interests are flooding the United
States with poison gas propaganda

Quebec of filling the papers with adj

popular dissatisfaction at home and

Stupid" said L. B. Cordeau, the

doors are not only the means
of entering a room; they also
serve to insure privacy when it IS
desired. For that reason, therefore,
it is imperative to take into con-
sideration the appearance Of room
with doors either open or closed.
There is something essentially
friendly about a door wide-fung,
and to this atmosphere of hospital
ity is added feeling of space that
is desirable in a small house. To
add to this effect, in the modern
house wide openings prevail be-
tween the entrance hall and the din
ing room.
The favored way of finishing
these wide openings is with a pair
of French doors. French doors are
always pleasing and appropriate
frame for an attractive exterior or
interior view. In shape each grace
full door is rectangular, fitted with
two or three vertical rows of panes,
thus allowing the light to stream
through the glass, and affording
intriguing glimpses of the room be-
yond. For complete privacy, as at
meal time, the doors, draped with
sheer gathered material, protect the
room without shutting off the light
from either hall or dining room.
The color scheme of the doors
themselves, as we'll as of the Grapes,
should blend in with that of the two
rooms and also with the stairway
the effect as a whole should be a
harmony of color suitable to the
type of house.
A pleasing arrangement was af-
fected by choosing buff for the col
or of the walls of one hall and
stairway. The floor, stair treads,

collision on the Winthrop road at a
point near the Henry f. Cummings
farm. The accident was probably
due to the imperfect visibility re-
sulting from the falling snow and
sleet, the drivers misjudging their
clearance, and the two cars hooked
wheels, swinging each into the ditch
on the wrong side of the highway
Fortunately the damage was to the
cars and no injury resulted to the
occupants.
