JEWELRY THAT
REALLY PLEASES

It's pleasure to do business with
man of the ability of c. P. Rowell
of Winthrop.
Mr.. Rowell is a jeweler Of many
years experience. He has made a
speciality of handling only the best
and as a result no matter how diff
ficult the job may be, he is able to
handle it. Winthrop is not a large
town as towns go, but there are
many worthwhile people in it and
Mr.. Rowell is one of them. His lit
tie store is a favorite place for
those who wish to buy jewelry or to
have 1t repaired.
Along with his ability as a Jewell
err Mr.. Rowell is a watchrepairer.
Watch repairing is a difficult job at
best. Pocket timepieces are growing
finer and finer as the years pass. 1t
was not long ago, when small watches
were regarded as freaks. But now
women are wearing on their wrists
watches of size that were regard
ed as curiosities years ago. Yet
! these are far more nearly accurate
in resigtering time than watches
many times larger a generation ago
To care for these. to clean them
and to put them in the best of shape
is bit of work that should be en-
trusted only to skilled hands. That
Mr. Rowell is constantly called upon
to look after the most delicate of
thne-recording instruments is the
best proof of his ability and skill.
Christmas is less than two full
months away. Watches and jewelry
will be favorite presents this year
as they have been in the past. The
Rowell stock will offer many desir-
able selections. Winthrop people
will find the Rowell store an ideal
place for the purchase of what they
wish and, too, they will know they
will get the best at very reason
able price.

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
| HATS OF CHARM
| ARE OFFERED

The present fall has been a busy
one for the milliners. New hats, es-
pecially felts, have been in great de-
mand, and every woman and miss
has found it necessary to have her
head properly covered.
No more, may 1t be said, are wo-
men going bare-headed. Such a
thing Is far from stylish now and as
result a great demand for mil
linery has been in evidence.
To get q good idea of the styles,
one would do well to call at the shop
of Catherine Harrington at 3O4
Water street. Here are hats and
hats and hats-numberless hats, In
the great variety of colors and
shapes that are in demand this year.
There are plain felts and velours
and hats with the new and much
desired tam effect. There are small
hats and large hats, but, of course,
the small hat seems to be the most
favored.
Miss Harrington has been par
ticularly fortunate In her selection
of headwear this year. She has
kept right abreast of the demands
In style and has been able to have
. her goods here and ready to be sold
just when the demand has been the
keenest More than that, her own
natural taste has aided in her selec-
tons so that one who goes to her
shop may be assured of getting the
best and very latest.
In addition to carrying a fine line
of millinery, Miss Harrington does
dress and coat remodelling. She and
her assistants have been very busy
at this ever since her place was
opened. Women's coats are shorter
| this year and as a result those who
are wearing those from last year
have required alterations in the
skirts. A great amount of work OF
this kind has been done. Dress re-
| modelling and dress making have
| also had their share of attention. II
may be safely said that the Harring-
| ton place is one of the busiest in
Augusta Certain it is. there are
few places of the same size that car
| show so much activity,

GET CARS READY
FOR WINTER

4, II Is very decidedly a time when
the automobilist Is beginning to
mink of the things he'll need for
wlnter. There are many Of these
arucles and there are many things
70 Dc done to the car before 1t is
ready TO stand up under the severe
strain 1t VIII have to undergo.
The Augusta Auto Supply on
water street opposite the Colonial
theatre IS ready to take care of these
necessities. Particularly is this con-
Germ able to look after tire needs.
Tor tires are one Of the real big and
important adjuncts to successful
driving when the weather gets cold,
All experts agree that the strain
on automobile tires is greater when
cold weather comes than 1t is dur
Ing the pleasant days of summer
To be sure, the dangers Of ow-outs
due to heat are absent, but this
danger is more than offset by the
liability of cuts from frozen ground
skidding and the ordinary effects OF
cold. 1t Is necessary that every
automobile owner have his car well
shod for the work that it will be
called upon to do when the real cold
weather comes.
1t may not be necessary to have
new tires. The old ones may be
nxed to meet requirements and the
Augusta Auto Supply by its excellent
vulcanizing can add miles of life t
tires that many an owner might
think worthy of only the junk pile
Not only Is the house able to do thi.
to the ordinary tire, but the specia
Firestone apparatus used will handle
vulcanizing for balloon tires. Hun.
dreds of dollars have been saved fol
| motorists by the work done by the
Augusta Auto Supply and hundred.
more will be saved this fall and win.
ter. II a tire is cut, due to tn,
roghness OF the road or from ice BY
the roadside, in the driveway or in 6
puddle, then the damage may b,
| quickly repaired.
But putting tires in shape is bu
| one of may things that are done a
the Augusta Auto Supply. Repair,
| to tops, to side curtains and to sea
| covers all are a leading part of tn,
work. Battery care is given and Civ
en- by experts, too, and there is moth
| ing more essential to reliable driv
ing in the winter than the condition
| Of the battery.
Frank Ochmanski, owner and pro
prietor of the Augusta Auto Supply
has built up big business durin;
his years of residence in Augustt
and this business is steadily CROWNS
| because of the courtesy, care anC
| real service that characterize tn,
| work done.

| BIG SEASON
| FOR The RADIO

It's going to be a big season for
the radio. Everyone admits that.
M. p. Scott of Gardiner who, has
everything for the radio" Is planning
on the biggest business he has ever
done, and that is saying a lot, for
his store has been headquarters in
the down river city,
During the past few months, there
has been so much going on through
out the country. all of which has
been put on the air." that those
who have scoffed at the radio have
decided that. after all, they might
just as well have a set. AS a re-
suit. the World series baseball
games. the Dempsey Tunney fight,
the big football matches, speeches
by President Coolidge and other dis
tinguished men have been brought
right into the homes of people who
never thought there could be so
much excitement caused by "just
listening in" People in general
have been able to talk more about
things about which they knew little
than they have ever been able to do
before.
The Scott place is a real radio
establishment. Not only are the
best of sets carried, but all kinds of
radio accessories are to be found
there. Even though man may
build his own set, there are new
things to be added that will increase
its efficiency by charging the
, volume, tuning out static or doing a
| number of other things.
The Scott place is able to supply
these things, and, best Of all, advice
is gladly given on the installation of
| them.
There are hundreds of radio sets
in and around Gardiner. There will
| be many more before the season is
| over. AS a Christmas present, there
| is hardly anything to beat radio
! and already orders for Christmas are
being taken by Mr.. Scott. 1t looks as
| if Santa Claus would broadcast
quite little cheer this year as re-
suit

There were no supporters of the
workers in the ranks of the British
government forces but there were gov
ernment agents and supporters of cap
italism in leading positions in the gem
eral staff of the Trades Union Con
gress.
This is the reason why the miners
are fighting alone today and why the
masses of the British trade unionists
are turning on the reformist leaders.
Such was the pressure from below
that the general council of the Trades
Union Congress was forced to call a
conference of union heads for June
in order that the whole disgraceful
affair be considered.
At this conference the basis will be
laid for the cleaning the leadership
of the Trades Union Congress so

~ He points out now that "all but
two points" of the unofficial memo
randum on which the strike was called
off have been accepted by the gov.
ernment.
These two points are:
I. Provision for more than the
regular unemployment pay for 13o,-
600 miners who lose their livelihood
thru the closing Of mines eonse-
quent upon the Reorganization Of
the industry.
2. A national living wage for the
coal industry.
1t is thus seen that the two points
left out of the governments proposal
which was made after the strike was
called off actually are. the heart Of the
whole question at issue, /. e.. whether
the coal miners shall accept a re-
duction of wages. aT
Heartened by the zdupIicity of the

of those recommended by the coal
commission.

BY WILLIAM F. DUNNE.

BY WILLIAM F. DUNNE.
THE method by which the British
4 general strike was called off and
the miners left to surrender or fight
on alone is made clear by the con-
troversy between Sir Herbert Sam
uels, chairman of the coal commission
and the leaders of the British Trades
Union Congress.
Sir Herbert acted as the go-between
for the Baldwin government but in
an unofficial capacity.
In an endeavor to cover up the cow
ardice and stupidity they exhibited in
calling off the strike at a time when
at least third of the trade union
strength was still in reserve and the
strike gaining impetus hourly, the
Trade Union Congress officials have
challenged Sir Herbert to deny that
he was acting for the government and
that the government had full knowl-
edge of the contents of the memoran-
dunn on the basis of which the con-
gress- officials say they called off the
strike.
THE reply of the emissary of British
capitalism, with whom the Trades
Congress officials entered into an
agreement behind the backs of 5,O0O,-
600 workers, lis very enlightening.
1t shows that unknown to the work
ers the reformist leaders, instead of
broadening the strike and accepting
the challenge Of the British govern
ment hurled broadcast thruout the
world, were scurrying here and there
in panic, anxious only to stop the
strike and at the same time leave the
masses ignorant of their treachery.
Confirmation of this fact was made
by A. ]. Cook, secretary of the Min
ers' Federation of Great Britain in a
speech delivered in the Rhonnda Val
ley, Wales, on May %.
TN this speech Cook made the cate.
gorical statement that he had never
been bullied by government officials
like he had by the officials of the
Trades Congress to get him to agree
to reduction in the miners wages.
He characterized the calling off of
the general strike as a shameful be-
trayal" and stated that the speeches
Of Ramsay Macdonald and ]. A..
Thomas, labor party and railwaymen's
union heads respectively, would be
read by the workingclass with shame"
AS the secretary of the Miners Fed
GRAFTON, the largest union affiliated to
the Trade Union Congress, it goes
without saying that A. ]. Cook realiz-
ed the full responsibility placed upon
him by such a public statement.
IF 1t had been possible to save the
4 regulations OF the MacDonalds
and Thomases, it is safe to
assume that the government would
do so. But the Baldwin government
has It's face to save and altho Mac
Donald and Thomas and their kind
have given sterling service to British
apitalism-before and during the
general strike-the British capitalist
government let's its catspaws shift for
themselves In accord with the ancient
custom OF dropping Jonahs to quell
mutiny on the ship OF state.
