ALFRED ENJOYS A
DESERVED POPULARITY

All Augusta knows Alfred Tong,
owner and proprietor of the Young
emma restaurant, just north of the
Colonial theatre, Alfred-for that is
the way everyone addresses him-is
one of the best liked and most
popular young men in the Capital
City.
1t would be difficult to find on
enterprise with which he has not
been identified. A member of the
American Legion, he believes in all
that that great organization is doing.
More than that, he is willing to go
farther and believes in all that his
town is doing.
How well the naturalized young
American is liked is best proved by
what happened couple of years ago.
His place was burned out. With his
restaurant and his business went a
big pile of money that had not been
deposited in the bank. All that
Alfred had was the suit of clothes
he wore at the time of the fire. But
he never lost his courage nor that
sunny smile that has made him so
popular. He had to have help to
rebuild his place. He got it. More
than that, he received the best
wishes of the hundreds he knew.
. The Young China restaurant is
now a going concern in Augusta.
Business men find it a convenient
place to eat as we'll as many people
coming into the city for pleasure or
business. Good food, well cooked
and served we'll at a very reasonable
price have been the means of build
ing up business that is sure to

ICE NEEDED NOW
AS IN HOT DAYS

Fall days MAY be approaching but
that is no sign that househOlders
should stop taking ice. On the con-
trary, ice should he taken Just as
much and the Talbot lee Co. OF
Gardiner is finding that the demand
is just as keen now as during the
hotter days that prevailed a month
ago.
There are so many foods that may
be prepared by the use of ice that
this commodity has become an es-
sential part OF housekeeping.
Frozen desserts, chilled fruits. Jel-
lies and many other things are all
desirable. Then, too. there is the
great advantage of keeping foods
fresh-somcthing that may only be
obtained by proper refrigeration.
Proper refrigeration, too, means that
the health of the whole family is
made better.
II is an admitted fact that, by the
use of ice AMI the proper keeping of
food. cooking is greatly improved.
There is no loss in freshness or
flavor. but everything is always as IT
should be. BY proper refrigeration,
food is preserved so that the ice
more than pays for itself.

"RED" SHERMAN
RIGHT ON THE JOB

Red Sherman knows how to
wash automobiles.
There is no denying his skill in
that regard. He has proved his
ability with sponge and channels so
well that Let Red do it, has come
to be a bye-word among those who
W sh a good job done.
o. E. Sherman is Red" to hum
dreds of people in Augusta. Being
a young man with foresight, he be-
lieved that there is more to the auto
mobile game than just Washing cars.
So, with every confidence n, him
self, he erected big one-story ce-
ment building on Bridge street, just
above the Maine Central tracks.
Since the doors We're thrown open,
there have been no idle hours here.
Sherman is called on continually to
go and get cars, drive them to his
place and give them the famous
Sherman treatment that makes them
look like new.
But it has not satisfied this hustl-
ing citizen to stick to the washing
game exclusively. Alemite greasing
at very low rates Is feature of his
establishment and big cars and lit
tie cars come there to be properly
fabricated.
When the cold weather comes and
the snow is on the ground and car
washing will temporarily be a thing
of the past, the Sherman garage will
still be busy place. He has
abundant floor space there. Those
who wish their cars stored for the
winter will find room and RED" is
sure to have his time taken in look
ing after this.

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
FASCINATION IN
A MACHINE SNIP

NO matter what business one may
pc IN or in what direction his
tancles may lie, there's. nothing
quite so fascinating as a machine
snop. The way machinery does the
work In an almost human manner.
the smell of the Oil, the clanking Of
the iron and the general air that
something is being done worth while
all make their impression.
That's the way it is when one
visits the Augusta Machine Shop,
Inc" on Winthrop street. AS nearly
everyone knows, the building that
houses this corporation was once the
Free Baptist church. What was once
the big auditorium Of the building is
now the place where all kinds of ma
chinery have been set up. Here
everything that a good machine shop
can do is done. More than that, F.
H. Boynton, the manager, with his
crew points to IS years of success in
machine work.
One of the most interesting Of the
machines is the big lathe which will
take a piece of metal ten feet long
by so inches in diameter. There is
nothing to equal this anywhere else
in the kennebec Valley. AS a mat
ter of fact. this establishment is the
best equipped in this section of
Maine and work from all quarters is
sent here to be done. Lathes, plan
ers, drill presses, belt-cuttipg ma
chimes, trip hammers-th are just
few of the machines here
II is little wonder then that all
kinds of work can be turned out at
the Augusta Machine Shop. Cylinder
grinding, score filing, steam and gas
engine work of all kinds. stripped
starter gears. replaced by Logan
gears. lawn mowers sharpened, cut
ter knives sharpened, farm ma
chinery repaired, elevators repaired,
mill machinery put into shape,
bearings for electric motors supplied
these and thousand and one
other Jobs are included in the work
done.
The big lathe has been mentioned.
1t is a big job to work this. Then.
on the other hand, such small things
as fitting and making keys Tor locks
| and repairing baby carriages are
also done. Big or small, for home,
automobile, motorboat. mill or farm,
if it is a job that pertains to ma
chinery it will be accomplished at the
Augusta Machine shop and done in
| a way that is sure to be just what
is wanted, even down to the thous-
/ ahdth of an inch.

A SPARK PLUG TO
MEET EVERY NEED

The Harvey Distributing Co., is
featuring the Splitdorf half dollar
spark plug. 1t is a good thing to
feature and the Harvey company
has shown good judgment in taking
hold Of this proposition
The Splitdorf half-dollar spark
plug is new Developments de-
pendable high grade porcelain plug
manufactured and guaranteed by
Americas oldest and foremost manu-
facturers of ignition apparatus. 1t
represents an important step in the
direction of economy for the motor
ist This plug Is 80 constructed that
cleaning and adjusting II is an ex-
treinely simple matter.
AS to its breakproof II leakpi ooi
qualities, one has but to examine a
sectional view of it and note the de-
tails of construction. The porcelain
and bushing are assembled as a unit
with a compressed winding of as
bestos yarn which offsets vibration
and prevents breakage. A special
copper-asbestos gasket upon which
the porcelain is seated overcomes
leakage of compression and gases.
"775" porcelain insulator is used
the finest quality porcelain obtain
able, and each one Is tested for me-
chanical and electrical strength. 1t
is Of the new semi-petticoat design
and withstands high compression en-
gines as well as engines throwing oil.
The successful operation Of sn en-
CINE depends to a great extent upon
the correct fitting of a spark plug.
Overheating and the knock in the
motor are the results of using plug
that is too long-snap and power are
lost and rapid carbonization results
from a plug that is too short
There is a type of Splitdorf for
every car and the Harvey company
is ready at all times TO tell OF the
advantages of Splitdorf and Mt one
to any make Of car.

GOLDEN-COATED
MARIE WOMAN IN
LITTLE Church
Queen Speaks to Fellow
Countrymen of my Chill
dren and Yours
By EIdOra Field

A queen IN a golden coat came to
indianapolis, passed through the
milling crowds, bowed, smiled, made
gracious speeches, and all who came
into the circle Of her glance and
her smile were ready to say, It's
not because she's a Queen-really,
not that-that we admire her so.
It's just because she's such charm
ing, lovely woman"
All that you might have pictured
royalty to be-this was Queen Marie
of Roumania. But those who went
with her out to the little Roumanian
church after the elaborate welcom-
ing ceremonies, got another picture
Of her as just a woman, a mother.
Church Bells Peal
Through the streets lined with
wide-eyed common folks" the
Queen passed in royal pageant and
as the line of cars turned west
toward the Christian Orthodox Rou-
manian Church at Blackboard and
Market SITS, the Ginning of church
bell was heard. Louder they pealed
as the royal car came nearer, then
the line of cars stopped, the Queen
descended.
Through a line of quantity dressed
Roumanian women in native cos
tune, past wreaths and baskets of
flowers, into the candle-lighted in
terror of the old world church,
walked a woman IN a golden coat,
rather lost in thought, little weari-
ness creeping into her blue eyes.
"Hallelujah," the choir chanted,
and down the aisle, up the flower
strewn steps, to the altar, the woman
In the golden coat walked. She
stood, shifting a bit in the golden
shoes while the choir chanted again
and again, but softly now, Halle
lujah." Then, in a great chair
golden too, like her coat, the woman
sat while a service-in her native
tongue-was chanted. Then she
rose again, made a gracious little
speech.
my Children and Yours"
My children and your children
that was what she talked about, and
the Roumanian men and wofner
listened eagerly gratefully. A mother
with slightly tired eyes was talking
Gifts were given her, then the sing
ing began again. The royal escor-
started to move forward, the colder
figure left the platform and as the
church bells pealed notes Of triumph
woman passed from the candle
lighted church.
