nivaL The youngsters 10 and 10
years of age, have been skating ever
since they were able to stand on two
legs and as exhibition skaters they
maintain enviable regulations. Not
long ago they entertained a large
crowd of hockey fans at the Boston
arena and the Boston papers of the
day following their appearance car
ried words of the highest praise con-
corning them. The boys have also
shown their wares in Madison SQUARE
Garden in New York where they
made an equally good impression.
The rest of the two day program
is shaping up well and within few
DAYS all will be in readiness to an
nounce it in it's entirety. With two
of the States colleges signed up at
present to enter teams in the events
and with pretty definite assurance
that the other two colleges will fau
in line, he collegiate activities at the
Carnival are bound to be lively and
full of interest. The two colleges
which have already signified their
intention of participating in the
events are Colby and Bates.

merchandise at once on the basis of

last meeting of the board of education,
and at that time he said that the lines
Of the present districts were drawn

| home of Mrs. Elizabeth Welch with
good number present.
Reports from various committees
were listened to with interest, partic
ularly the report brought by Miss
Maud Merrick in regard to the new au-
ditorium in Washington. 1t was voted
by the Daughters of this chapter to
purchase a chair which will be marked
with the name of the chapter and the
woman in whose memory it is given.
! Plans were made toward giving a
colonial supper in the near future to
raise money for this contribution.
The following committees were ap-
pointed by the regent; Sons and
Daughters Of the Republic. Mrs. Maud
Brown. Mrs Emma Muzzy and Mrs.
Mary Learned: preservation of historic
spots. Mrs. Jennie Hammond: histori-
cal and literary reciprocity, Mrs. Mary

At the close of the business session
a very interesting entertainment was
given. beginning with victrola Selec-
ton by Mccormack. accompanied by
Crysler. Mrs. Cora Brown had charge
of the "Gleanings" and read very in
structive paper on pine Grove Farm
in Virginia" which was the home of
Washington from about four years OF
age for many years following, and on
this farm is shown the descendant OF
the famous cherry tree. On this old
home of Washington a memorial of any
sort has never been placed. It is only
about one mile from Fredericksburg.
Mary Washington resided on this farm
more years than on the one where the
monument to her memory was erected
by the Daughters of the Revolution.
This farm is sometimes called Cherry
Farm and contains about 500 acres.
The lessons in Civil government
which Mrs. Mary Hall directed before
going to California in the early part
of the season, are now under charge OF
Mrs Drummond. To-Day the reading
was from the chapter on public health

tivities of the public health service OF
the government the length Of life of
the American had been increased very
considerably.
A paper on "Old Trails" written and
read by Mrs. Adelia Waldron was of
great interest.

General Pickup
Business Conditions

The total amount of the individual
check transactions in the commercial
banks of the city for last month is
an indication that business conditions
are somewhat better than they were
during the same period the previous
year. For December. 1925, the amount
was $4,231 ,030.32, while in 1924 the
transactions totalled s4,1SSS71.54. The
fact that the Christmas season leads
to considerable increase in business
can be seen in the fact that the checks
for December amounted to some $780,
600 more than did those of November,
the figure for the latter month being
S3,742,4S429.
