Practical First
Aid Discussed in
Sunday Health Talk

DR.. f. w. Boyer speaking on
First Aid" gave large number
of people very enjoyable afternoon
at the regular health talk at the
Sisters hospital yesterday afternoon.
Not only did the doctor give his
hearers much sound advice but
many times he injected humor into
his discussion and he assumed an
informality that greatly pleased
those present.
It was announced that the speak
err next week will be DR.. John Shaw.
superintendent OF the Central Maine
Sanatorium in Fairfield, and he will
have as his subject, THE Problem
Of tuberculosis"
DR.. Boyer first considered anti
septics, how they should be used
and the care that should be taken
of them.
Heat as an alleviator Of pain, he
said is fine thing, the doctor stated,
but he warned those who use an
electric warming pan not to use a
moist cloth around 1t as this may
result in burns.
Asphyxiation, electric shocks. and
apparent drownings, cases which de-
mand artificial respiration was the
last topic that the doctor considered.
His advice was never to leave a per-
son who had apparently stopped
breathing until efforts to revive him
had been going on for at least an
hour. In such cases people should
not spend time in summoning aid
but should Immediately set at work
by themselves. For this reason ev-
eryone should have knowledge of
artificial respiration. DR.. Boyer gave
very clear demonstration of this
being helped init by Wilbur Larsen
and Luther Page.

Waterville Due for
Hot Political Contest
Municipal Election

That Watervtlle Is to have one OF
the most hotly contested political
campaigns for some years could be
seen Saturday from the impressions
made by the two caucuses on Friday
night and from the conversation that
they occasioned.
Most Of the comment has conferred
around the speech Of F. Harold Du-
bord in which he accepted the nomi-
nation as Demo- :atic candidate for
mayor. Mr.. Dubord alleged that the
present Republican administration
had an overdraft of $43,50o at the ter
mination Of the municipal year be-
sides spending $3S n"n which resulted
from raising the tax rate three mills.
It was also his contention that "a Of
the city's Departments have overdrawn
their appropriations. OF the police,
Mr.. Dubord said. "A member of the
present police force has been known
TO insult women on the streets Of
Waterville and I have proof to back
up my words"
Saturday afternoon Mayor Paul r.
Baird issued a reply to these attacks
in which he said. Il only ask that the
tax payers of Waterville compare the
city report this year with the one is
sued year ago. In reference to the
statemeLt regarding the insulting ac-
ton of a member Of the police force
| will say that l stand ready to re-
move any officer from the force at
any time the proof is presented to me
that he Is doing such thing"

Three Fires Make
Busy Saturday for
Wateryille Firemen

Three fires. none Of them of any
great importance gave the Water
vile department a busy day Satur-
day. The first call came at 7.30 A.
NJ, when box 32 was rung in for a
small blaze in the basement of the
Pitcher store on Water street. Hose
company had put the fire out be-
fore the arrival of the trucks from
the Central fire station.
Shortly after this at 7.45 o'clock
the firemen were called to the house
at 100 Silver street. owned by Arthur
Loubier, where the roof had caught
fire in five different places from
sparks from the chimney Forty gall
Ions Of chemical were used in
quenching the blaze and the loss was
not great.
At S.45 P. NJ, chimney fire in the
house owned by Vede Roy at s
Sherwin street, was put out with the
use of two chemicals. The ladder
truck responded to this alarm for it
was at first reported that the roof
was ablaze.

Interest High in
Local Bows Club

The event which looms biggest
among the divers activities at the
Waterville Boys Club for last week
Is the banquet Of the Cadet Division
which was held last Friday evening
at the Unitarian church parlors. 1t
Is still topic of conversation among
the boys and nothing that the club
has ever done has appealed to them
more strongly. J. Frank Goodrich,
the superintendent of the club,
thinks that such affairs are fine
means of bringing the boys closer
together and, with the cooperation
of the parents Of the boys, he would
like to have such a banquet at least
once ever yother month. He is of
the impressions that If the mothers
would each donate little food they
could easily be made possible.
Enthusiasm Is as high as ever in
the pool and carrom tournaments
which will come to close this
month. In the intermediate carrom
tournament Harry Kyle and Charles
Stevens are running a neck and neck
race and there is much interest as
to which will be the final winner.
In the Junior Division Elias Peters
has lead which will probably not
be taken from him, while in the
Junior A Division Gerald Armstrong
appears the winner.
The intermediate pool tournament
was started last week and one round
as thus far been played. the winners
being Wallace Terry, Charles Ste
vens, Harry Barron, Frank Joseph
and Brayton Larsen. The second
round is to be played this week.
Competition in this division is very
close and the interest is intense.
Another activity of the club which
has greatly taken the fancy of the
members is the weekly hikes under
the leadership of George Bernhard,
the physical director. The hike Sat
urday was postponed but the one
next Saturday will take place as
usual providing the weather condi-
tons are suitable.
In about another month the boys
of the club are to give a gymnasium
exhibition to which the public will
be invited. The boys have become
very adept in gymnasium work and
games and the exhibition will be of
much interest.
The club basketball team has con-
tinued on its victorious way and Fri
day night the second team journeyed
to Oakland where they took the Oak
land high school team into camp by
a score Of p to s.

Drew's Waterville
Band Pleases Large
Crowd with Concert

The second Of the four concerts at
the City Opera House which are be-
ing held to raise money for the con-
struction of new bandstand on
Monument park took place at the City
Opera House yesterday afternoon be-
fore a large audience.
A feature Of the program was a
short talk on current events by DR..
William J. Wilkinson, professor Of
history at Colby college, and the mu-
sic Of the afternoon was furnished
by Drew's Waterville band under the
direction Of H. T. Drew.
DR.. Wilkinson at the opening Of
his talk placed his stamp Of approval
on the concerts and he expressed the
hope that after the concerts TO. the
benefit of the banGstand fund were
over the people would continue to
meet at intervals to enjoy good mu-
sic. One great advantage that COM
munities Of European countries have
over the communities Of America, he
said, is that people hear great deal
of good music at little or no cost.
In speaking of the growing senti-
ment in favor of internationalsm
which Is now sweeping the world the
speaker asked his hearers to recall
number Of the revolutions of the
past, especially the reformation per-
iod of 400 years ago and the time Of
the French and American revolution
of a century and half ago. He char.
acterized the present as one Of tho
greatest periods Of transition that the
world has ever known.
The doctor stated that the recent
Locarno treaty was a strong mani
festation of the spirit Of information.
alism and he expressed his happiness
that the United States had shown
the same spirit in voting to join the
world court.
The band was made up of the same
players who have so often been heard
during the summer concerts on Mon
ument park. They were some 80 in
number and their playing brought
forth much applause.
AS was the case at the first con-
cert two weeks ago pledge cards
were distributed to be filled out with
the amounts that those present were
willing to give towards the new
bandstand. At the close Of the con-
cert these were turned over to the
ushers and a sum was realized which
added to the 500 which was raised
at the first concert will send the fund
well on its way.
