Plans Entertainment
High School Seniors

At the regular meeting OF the di-
rectors of the Waterville- Winslow
Chamber of Commerce yesterday at
ternoon tentative plans were made for
entertaining the graduating classes of
the high schools in the vicinity of
Waterville on some Saturday in the
near future. The idea which has
never been tried in this city before
met with the hearty approval of the
directors Luncheon will be served
at noon after a tour of the industries
Of Waterville and an automobile ride
around the city. In the afternoon
there will be some sort of entertain
nent to be decided upon in the near
future.
another future event of the Cham
Der calendar is the complimentary
dinner to the summer lamp owners
and manager in this part of Maine.
The affair is to be held during the
first Of July and 1t will be the second
Of Its kind. The meeting last year did
much to bring Waterville business
men into closer connection with the
camp people and it proved to be to
the mutual advantage OF both.

a safe majority for its passage when
the government whips get to work
on the big conservative majority in
the house of commons.
Outside of parliament there are
many elements opposed to the tax
for various reasons, the bookmakers
and the church people both for
once finding themselves on the same
side of the fence. The bookmakers
naturally oppose it on general prin-
ciples-it's going to lessen their
profits. The churches are opposed
to it as countenancing a great ma
tional evil" The strongest protest
is coming from the church people
and the social workers, whose attf-
tude Lady Aston has summed up in
the assertion that the government
was lending approval and counte-
nance to a great national evil"
Chancellor Churchill also has
many supporters, who contend that
as long as credit betting with book
makers at regularly established 1 Of
fees and betting on race courses are
already legal, there is no reason why
the government should not exact a
toll. They take pretty much the at
titude of the chancellor himself who
announced in his budget speech ~
am not looking for trouble; I am
looking for revenue"
A recent report of a commons
committee estimated the annual
turnover in legal betting at more
than 2OO,O00,0OO pounds. This
would figure out approximately 5
pounds per capita of the total popu.
lation yearly.
Chancellor Churchill estimated
that there would be a revenue of
6,OOO,OOO pounds year based on a
five percent tax, which would indi-
cate that he figured on a taxable
turnover of 120,000,OOO pounds.

continued. 1T seems to me that with

KNIGHTS PYTH|AS
SCORE BIG HIT
IN PLAY "KEMPY"

The large audience of wateryille
people who witnessed the performance
or the three-act comedy KENNY. :"
presented at the City Opera House
last evening, have the Bayard Com
pany, Knights of Pythias, to thank for
one of the most enjoyable evenings in
many a month, for the play was con-
Quoted under its auspices. The play
was of just the nature to appeal and
the members Of the cast, who had re-
ceived valuable tutelage from Mrs.
Palmer of Pennington. played their
parts In manner which could hardly
be better.
The story Of the play dealt with

treats of them is highly entertaining
Mrs. Eva Jackson was Katherine
Bence, to whose fancies the efforts OF
the family are dedicated, injected
much of the comedy into the produc-
ton and she showed herself to be ar
able actress. Ma and Pa Bence were
played respectively by Roy Jackson
and Phyllis Judkins. both of whom fiji
well into the situations; and another
interesting couple is Jane Wade, the
oldest of the Bench children, played
by Amanda Gallagher, and her hus-
band, portrayed by Bruce Hillman
Harold Browe. as Duke Merrill, the
sutton for the hand of Katherine, was
another convincing part.
1t was a play one would be glad to
recommend to a friend if it is present
ed elsewhere, and such may be the
case. The enjoyment of the evening
was enhanced by the presence of Lee
, Warren and his Phi Delt orchestra
which played between the casts. Still
another feature of the evening was

Ruth, Audrey and Eleanor who gave

cent beer, had been thrown out on
point of order.
The four votes against the bill
were cast by Representative Auf Der
Heide, New Jersey, and Black, Gull
len and Somers, New York, all
Democrats.
The proposal weathered nearly
dozen amendments and was passed
as reported by the Ways and Means
committee, to which it was sent by
the treasury.
1t would give legal sanction to the
reorganization in the prohibition unit
effected last August by Secretary
Mellon, and besides the prohibition
bureau would create a bureau of Gus
toms. The new bureaus would be
headed by commissioners appointed
by the secretary of the treasury.
Wet members of the house offered
no formidable opposition, number
supporting the bill on the ground
that it would make prohibition en-
forcement more drastic, thus bring
ing about increased demand for
modification. Representative Hill,
Republican, Maryland, recognized
wet leader in the house, voted for
it.
Urging passage of the bill, Rep
resentative Cramton, Republican,
Michigan, dry leader, endorsed the
prohibition administration under As
sistant Secretary Andrews of the
treasury. He asserted Andrews has
shown zeal and success" in en-
forcing the dry law, adding:
Don't give a man the hardest lob
in the United States and then criti-
ciZe him."
After Mr.. La Guardia had accused
drys of acting in bad faith because
they would not accept another
amendment by him, Cramton assert
ed he did not care for lecture
from other recent converts to pro-
hibition or those who are not con-
verts at all. La Guardia's other
amendment would have forbidden
prohibition unit employees to receive
any salary other than that from the
government. and was aimed chiefly
at f. G. Baird, who testified before
the senate prohibition committee
that while dry law administrator at
Pittsburgh he continued to receive
salary of $4,000 annually as a
railroad official. The amendment
was rejected on a point of order.
Both Mr.. Hill and Representative
Garner of Texas. ranking Democrat on
the ways and means committee, charg-
ed that the bill was nothing more than
move to raise salaries in the pro-
hibition unit.
1T will not add one single arrest"
Garner said, nor will one additional
dollar be collected by it; but Wheeler
(Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Sa-
loon League), Cramton and Andrews
are for it, SO we are for it, even my
self"
Representative Oliver. Democrat,
New York, said the prohibition chief
should be either the president or a
cabinet officer. He contended that
while the drys held the prohibition law
to be paramount, they were willing to
smother" the prohibition director in
a commissioners Office in the treas
ury.
wherever you put it, it will be I'M
der the AntiSaloon League" he added.
my state will never submit to the
kind of prohibition you want. We are
going to win our fight for temperance.
We are going to win that f1ght-the re-
bellion of the people against this law"
