OPERA HOUSE
TO-DAY

Promise of a delightful romance OF
middle class life in New York is
made by the management of the
Opera House Today, where 1T Must
Be Love" Colleen Moore's latest
First National.
1T Must Be Love" adapted from
Brooke Hanlon's story, 'Delicates-
SEN is declared to be one of the
most human stories of the year be-
ing replete withs heart -throbs as
well as the well-known Colleen
Moore chuckles. This production
presents a cross-s section of the kind
of life we all know. centering in the
situation a girl finds herself in when
she gets a beau and is ashamed to
bring him to her home in back Of a
delicatessen store.
There are many such cases in our
own families, in the families around
1t is this sense of nearness. this
feeling Of actually and everyday
humanness which gives Miss Moore
the opportunity to draw the most
out of her very appealing part as
the girl who has to sacrifice living at
home for her pride.
Malcolm McGregor plays the role
of the sweetheart. who never finds
out till the end that his girl has
been deceiving him as to her par

were obtained, and the Chief of the
Bureau advised that this estimate
was most conservative.
That this is conservative basis
is evidenced by replies received to
1900 questionnaires sent to people in
various walks of life, who came to
Maine in 1924, showing tlhat 941
travelled by automobile and 600 by
railroad and steamship, or in other
words, practically two thirds or 66
2-3 percent as many travelled by
railroad and steamship as compared
with those who travelled by auto
mobile.
The aggregate figures used gives
total of / 100000 people.
The questionnaires referred TO
above determined that these people
averaged to spend $9Q56 each; US
ing $50. gives a revenue of $126,O0O,-
600 for 1924. The organizations con-
cerned in the development of Maine
used the figures Of $45,0OO,oOO Tor
1928. They used the figures of $685.
100000 for 1924 and 1925 UP to the
early fall, by which time it was
thought that $100,000,000 Yas con-
servatiye estimate based on the 1924
ISuIeS
ports received from hotels in all sec
tons of the State that their bust
ness had increased. from 1870 to
35Gb in 1925 over that of 1924. To
be sure the $126,000,000 given above
is based on the total number of peo-
pie, whether tourist or commercial
travel From reports received from
various Chambers of Commerce
Tourist Agencies, Government Of
ficials and others who have kept
statistical records, 1t was thought
that for the months of July, August,
September and October, the period
during which the Federal census was
taken, that it was perfectly safe to
drop the $26 100000 from the total
as representative of the commercial
travel. Anyone will agree that as
this shows a record Of 100000, 600
for 1924, it is entirely within the
bounds of safety to use the same
figures for 1925 with its reported
1870 to $3.50 increase in business.
Free Advertising
A report has been issued of
amount of free publicity that has
been secured under supervision or
Director Shorey for the State of
Maine during the past year in news
papers from every State in the
Union. This report was only made
up to March %, 1926. Since then
more clippings have been received
daily so that the total now is much
larger than the attached report II

pended in straight advertising as

Maine Development
What's Being Done
And Methods Used

Portland, Aug 30.-Philip r.
Shorey, director of publicity for The
State Of Maine Associates, is send
ing out a report on development and
publicity, showing how it functions
how financed and how the number of
tourists and amount of money they
leave in the State are estimated.
The money appropriated by the
State Legislature. which was $4,000
for period of two years, is used for
the printing of State booklets show
ing our recreational. agricultural
and industrial opportunities. The
money raised by the cities and
towns for the Maine Development
Association is used for newspaper
and magazine advertising. The
State of Maine Publicity Bureau, of
which Hiram w. Kicker, ST., is
President, and which now has been
functioning for five years, acts as a
service organization for all of the
State organizations, namely: The
Maine Development Association and
State Chamber of Commerce and
Agricultural League.
The State Of Maine Publicity Blu
reau distributes the booklets issued
by the State and answers inquiries
received from the advertisements
appearing in the newspapers and
Eia%azines made possible by the
money raised through city and town
appropriations handled by the Maine
development Association. The

such as Mr.. Kicker, Mr. Guy p.
Cannett, Mr. Henry p Rines. Mr..
Harry A. Chapman. and others give
their personal checks in the interest
of the State.
The Board Of Directors and Ex-
ccutive Committee Of the Publicity
Bureau takes in prominent people
throughout the State. the same as
the Maine Development Association,
and are made up Of men of every
political party. which insrres it's
Mp ar 8 a and non-political
aspect.
The compilation Of the booklets
issued by the State necessarily calls
for a great amount of detail re-
search work that they may have the
proper information in them. Out
side of a portion Of the expenses and
time which has been thus used in
the compilation and publication of
data for the State booklets for agri-
cultural. industrial and recreational
purposes. none Of the monies raised
by the State or the Maine Develop
mont Association have been used for
salaries or overhead, the State of
Maine Publicity Bureau having
borne the greater amount of this
burden from their private subscrip-
tons.

OF the Maine Development Associa-
ton has spent money out of his
own pocket for secretarial work in

Association demanded. The State Of

represented by these clippings, they
would be classified as readers" by
the newspapers The rates for adj
vertising per line for this class OF
publicity is higher than straight ad-
vertising, so they have been quoted
from the lowest to the highest, as
the report shows. Taking the low
est It will be seen that the amount
of free publicity received would APP
proXimate 1872 $50 at minimum.
This does not include clippings from
Maine papers.
The clippings referred to are
bound and have been shown at
many places throughout the. State.
They are at the Publicity Bureau Of
flee and are available to anyone who
desires to look them over. There
are on file in the same office news
paper stories sent not only within
the State of Maine. but out of the
State, and copies Of various maya
zine articles.
The work Of the Publicity Director
has been confined 500 to letting
people outside of the State know
what the State had to offer, not
only along recreational but agri-
cultural and industrial lines. The
rest of his work has been to try to
educate the citizens of the State to
know Maine better and what Maine
has to offer the rest of the country.
From necessity, the publicity and
development program has had to
start with a recreational appeal
which every other state has done
who are now experiencing the great
est era of prosperity they have ever
known. the idea being that to sell
anything there must first be an
audience. IT is thought that the
audience has been obtained and the
working out of the appeal along
more forceful lines on agricultural
and industrial resources Is now un-
der way.
1t has been repeatedly tried to
put before the people the exact cost
of this publicity campaign, i'll TACT
it is desired that everyone know the
exact amount of money being ex-
pended as compared with what other
states are doing; it is pitifully and
shamefully small. Other com
munities and small cities alone in
other states contribute more oyer
night for their own publicity and de-
velopment programs than the united
efforts of the State have raised for
the development program of Maine.
That some idea may be had of
how Names program has awakened
some of the other New England
states. note the publicity stunt
that the State Of New Hampshire
had the week of July 18th to 18th.

How Survey ls Made
The statistics which the State or
Maine Publicity Bureau have put
out and which are also used by the
Maine Development Association are
based on Federal Government re-
ports. From July LIST to October
31st, 1924 the Federal Government
in cooperation with the State High
way Department, took census OF
the out of state cars using the fol-
lowing gateways into Maine; Kit

road, Madawaska, Van Buren,. Houl-
ton. and Calais. This report shows

American Automobile Association
from statistics on file at its head
quarters in Washington, D. G..
shows 1.3S5,2S7 people. This survey
was made for the purpose of deter
mining the type of road to be built
in the future based on the density OF
traffic. DR.. Mckay, Chief of the
Division of Highway Economics and
Transport of the Department OF
Agriculture. calls attention to the
fact that his statistics do not cover
cars entering or leaving the State by
other gateways nor of foreign cars
operating within the State that did
not enter or leave the State on a
particular date when the census was
being taken.
For purposes OF easy figuring,
round numbers of 100000 were
used and divided equally for cars
going into and out of the State
through these gateways, which gives
a figure of 100000 people. To this
was added 100000, or 25Go OF the
total of 100000 for the other eight
months of the year and 25cS or $50, =

For the Housewife

Things to be fried often stick to the
pan If new. To prevent this scour the
pan thoroly with salt, rinse well. and
then dry.
Paste printed fsces cut from pic
lures of children found in magazines
upon the rag dolls. The little tots
will like them better than the express
sionless faces usually seen on rag
dolls. When face gets soiled Or
worn new one can easily be put on.
A simple method Of keeping the
hands and nails in good order is to
have lemon, insert the fingers and
turn them round and round in the
pulp. This will tend to prevent the
skin from growing up around the
nails and hiding the white crescent
which should always appear at the
base of the nail. After washing the
hands well in warm water aud soap,
the skin surrounding the nails should
be pushed down by the fingers, or bet
ter still by blunt bone instrument
made for the purpose.

Health Notes.

Anything which scothes the nerves
will, as a rule. induce sleep.
light supper taken just before
going to bed is often helpful.
It is well to have a glass of miih
standing by the bed. If wakefulness
comes, this should be slipped very
slowly,
Lack of sufficient ventilation in a
room often causes sIeeplessness. But
the air should never be permitted to
blow directly on bed.
A bed should never be placed fac,
Ing the light, for this hurts the eyes
and affects the nerves.
One Of the best remedies for ner-
vous woman is to take hot bath just
before going to bed. The body should
be immersed for fifteen minutes in
water that is hot without being ex-
hausting.
