THE FLORENCE CRITTENTON
HOME.

THE Florence Crittenton Mission,
located at Phoenix, has been
serving the needs of this state Tor
thirty years. During that time
hundreds of unfortunate girls and
January last seventy-three have
been sheltered in the home. Six
unfortunate babies have been born
three boys and three girls. The
work is progressing in every di :
rection. Finding the girls whom
the influence of the home can re-
store and giving them back again
to the world to make good mothers
and desirable citizens is the mis-
sion of the home.
The mission is in desperate need
of a new building to carry on all
lines of its activities The girls are
taught all lines of domestic art
Some acquire a nurses training
and others are given a business
course. When they leave the home
they have learned a new outlook
on life and make good. OF the
combined Crittenton homes in the
United States around 10000 girls
and babies have been cared for.
OF this large number IS per cent
have made good
Mrs. l.. c. Thompson, field secre-
tary, was in Winslow last week On
her annual visit to tell of the work
and to give service to any girl she
may reach. She is earnestly asking
the support of Winslow in contri-
buttons to cary on this important
work in our state
The home belongs to Winslow,
and this city should feel it owns a
share in the work that is being
done. The B. P. o. Elks of Winslow
will give one-fourth of the proceeds
of the big charity ball to be given
Tuesday, Sept %, to the Florence
Crittenton home.

Farmers Are Buying
Fordson Tractors

During the month just ended the
Ford Motor company did a record
July business in every division, it
has just been announced at the
Highland Park general offices
Domestic sales of Ford cars and
trucks totaled 167,626 in July, ex-
ceeding by 6,182 those of a year
ago. Sales of Fordson tractors
were more than 5000, or 300 great
er than last year, and 207 more
Lincoln cars were delivered to GUS
toners during the month than in
the previous July.
On the basis of branch reports
received early in July the company
anticipated an increased volume of
business, and while it predicted
that summer buying would rise to
a higher level than usual, the de-
mand for all Ford products during
the month exceeded expectations.
The outlook is for increasing
business in August.
One of the chief indications of
this appears in agricultural sec
tions of the country, where farmers
are coming into the market in rap
idly growing numbers. Evidence
of this is found in the remarkable
sales of Fordson tractors during
July,

Tree Dependent Upon

Ihe FIG wasp goes into the hgS for
selfish purposes only. She is hunt

and the only place that suits her
are the female flowers inside the

crawling about, pOllinates the other
female flowers with grains of pollen
which were adhering to her body
from the older fig where she herself

of the fig wasps, and the latter can
not develop or exist without the

GunporUder's I7Uention

The origin of gunpowder is in
vOIved in considerable uncertainty
but 1t is believed that the mixture
and its characteristic properties
have long been known, even before
its use to prOpel proiectile from
some form of artillery. There is
evidence that the recipe for making
gunpowder was in the hands of
some of the alchemists of the Thir-
tenth century. and, on the strength
of passages in the works Of Roger
Bacon, he is often spoken of as It's
inventor. The discovery of gun
powder is also assigned to Berthold
Schwartz, by whom it was men
toned in 1928.

CURPLUS copper stocks are low
and prices continue to advance.
Shipments for the second quarter
of this year were largest on rec
ord. totaling 36S,324 tons, against
241, ,808 tons for the first quarter
The world is consuming copper
at rate greater than ever before
in the history of the metal and
uses are being constantly increased.
1t is not improbable that world con-
sumption of copper during 1925
will reach 1,750,0O0 tons. Con-
sumption last year was 100000
tons, while the record year of 1918
reached but 1,550,0O0 tons.

BE A PESSIMIST

DE A PESSIMIST while driving
car.
Since all auto accidents directly
result from the unexpected circum-
stances that arise in the motorists S
path, the driver who holds the pes
simistic attitude of always expect
ing such conditions to happen, AMI
who accordingly drives carefully,
is the safest on the highways It
doesn't pay to be confident of what
the other fellow is going to do. or
going to do, or to ever feel posi-
tive that no danger lies around the
corner.
The speeder, the reckless motor
ist, the incompetent and the intox-
icated driver are sources of danger
that must be given wide berth by
the autoist who wants to be safe.
Incompetent handling of the auto
mobile has consistently been among
the leading causes of motor vehicle
fatalities The speeding and reck-
less motorist has caused a tremen-
dous total of deaths both in his own
ranks and among others, while the
intoxicated driver has taken a huge
toll of lives. The driver who wants
to play safe must be a pesSimist.
He must expect to meet his share
of motoring dangers, and constantly
watch out for them.
To be safe, always be careful in
operating a machine, and follow
the laws of safe driving. Be pessi-
mistic at all times of the chances
OF meeting some intoxicated or ir-
responsible driver, careless or ire
sponsible pedestrian, or with some
road or other conditions that might
cause the wrecking of ones ma
chine or the loss of life or limb.
Know that speed limits are estab-
lished to correspond to traffic con-
ditions in the respective localities,
and breaking these laws means de-
flying the chances of accident

To a Pioneer
BY D. MAITLAND BUSHBY
written for The Mail.)

Yesterday, as l walked down the
street,
An old white-headed man passed
me by.
With stopping shoulders and drag
ging feet,
He shuffled by in the MONDAY
heat,
With squint in his one good eye.
How little life holds for you, old
man.
The hustle of the rushing crowd
Means naught to you with face of
tan,
To you that think of dying clan,
That once was young and bold
and proud.
You who lived when the country
was new,
When coyotes hunted where
cities stand;
You who saw the redman fight and
WOO;
The desert and plains have called
TO you
And marked you with their
wrinkling brand.
Now, today, you go your way un-
known
And the Great Divide is calling:
AS you go wearily through your life
alone
With nothing but thoughts to call
your own,
For you this life's sun is falling.

Globe Limits Tourists
To Three-Day Stay

AS result of a motion for the
elimination of the free auto park
at Globe, the city council of that
place has decided to limit the priv

each party of tourists.
The action was the direct result
of the misuse of the park by tour
lists, according to members of the

AMERICA SETS THE PACE

LNOR centuries Europe has been
the home of art, literature,
learning, science, invention and the
luXuries of life. But the masses
could not generally share these lux
uries with wealthy or officially
prominent people 1t remained for
the United States in a short $50
years to give the telephone, cleo
tricity, the automobile, pianos,
monographs, modern railroad
transportation, insurance, house
hold gas appliances, the camera,
and numerous other convenienceS,
many of which even today are lux
uries in Europe, to the poorest citi-
zen in this country as part of his
daily life.
The result of Americas high
standard of living, developed under
a system of private initiative and
enterprise, is now being felt in
Europe. The Chamber of Com
merce of Paris and the French
chambers of commerce, at which
40 chambers were represented,
have adopted resolutions urging the
French government to transfer the
government telephone serv-
ice of France to private enterprise
Press reports declare that this
movement in favor of private own
ership has found support among
trade associations throughout
France.
In 1924 Greece granted to Brit
ish syndicate a sixty-siX-year con-
cession for the installation and op-
GRAFTON of modern telephone serv-
ice throughout the country. Spain
has lately adopted a similar policy.
The Italian authorities have ar
ranged for a sale to private COM
panies of government-owned local
telephone systems of Italy. Poland
turned over her government tele-
phones to private company. Ger
many has reorganized her tele-
phones virtually ON a basis of pri-
vate enterprise. This is the drift
of European sentiment today.
And why shouldn't the European
countries follow the lead of the
United States? The telephone is
for the wealthy in Europe; it is for
everybody in this country-16,00O
900 telephones in a nation of no.
100000 people.
Not only in their dealings with
their own employees, but notably in
their relations with the public,
government-owned utilities have
frequently failed to attain the
standard set by enterprises under
private ownership and operation.
Our telephone industry, owned by
more than half a million citizens,
stands as typically American and
represents the spirit of initiative
and enterprise which has enabled
this nation to surpass all others i'll
its standard of living, conveniences,
and even luxuries in the average

Uncertainty as
To How BOWdOin

Especial to kennebec Journal)
Brunswick. March 13.-The Bow
dcin baseball squad had its first out
door practice today. Whittier Field
being sufficiently dry to allow a
short game to be played. Although
the practice has been under way for
several weeks there is still consider
able uncertainty as to how the team
will line up this Spring.
Larry" Southwick is going good
pitching. and will probably be the
mairstay of the team in this depart
ment. Rel" Robinson, who pitch
ed a. very good brand CT ball last
Spring has been severely handicap
ped by a bad shoulder received in
football. John Stafford, a senior,
looks very good, and will probably
be one of the regular pitchers. H..
Hildreth. Ranney, Grey, and Means
are also doing good work. and before
the season Is ever may turn in to
very dependable hurlers. Captain
LES" Blake VIII do the catching;
although Charlie De Blois will be q
dependable relief backstop.
1t is in the infield that there is
the greatest problem. Barrett Mich
ols is the only veteran infielder lie
from last years championship team.
He will undoubtedly play sEortstop.
Wayne Sibley. who was trying out
for pitching last year. seems to be
the most likely candidate for first
base, although Dysart and Hastings,
both Freshmen, are giving him
plenty of competition. "Jackey" Lord
and Francis MCGOWAN. two Sopho-
mores who showed up we'll as Fresh
men. seem to have the edge on the
other candidates for second and
third respectively. However, Dan"
Lancaster. Laney. Markell, and
Bryant, candidates for these posi-
lions, are ALI good players.
The outfelders have only been out
for few days, ard it is at present
doubtful as 20 who will he playing
IL the outer gardens. Asa" Small
is by far the best player. but he may
he ineligible for part of the season.
Daggett and Fish are other men. but
there are also several likely candi-
Gates from the Freshman class,
