II You would win

If you would seek a place of power,
And climb a1oft to high estate,
Keep moving with the running hour.
While idlers make excuse to wait
Then rush ahead and swing along
Until you pass the tagging throng!
II you would rise above your kind,
And occupy an honored chair,
Bestir yourself resolved to find
The lion-heart, to do and dare
Then face the battle, fit to fight
Your way up to the splendid height!
If you would have the master-skill
That overcomes the toughest task,
Yield to the masters guiding will,
BY tearing Off your binding mask
Then take grain of sense thus found
And plant it in productive ground!
II you would win the loud applause
Bestowed on men of rare renown,
Proceed to seek the basic cause
Why they cannot be trodden down
Then follow them with faith un-
furled
And blaze your name around the

An original cedar dugout, con-
structed or followed from a cedar
tree Is in the hands of Fremont
Rowe at his antique store at Bath.
This boat, peculiar as it looks, is not
unlike small dory such as the
fishermen on the Maine coast use.
The extraordinary part of the cedar
craft lies in the fact 1t Is over 100
years old and was brought to this
country from Haiti where it is the
favorite type of navigation, or was
century ago, among the natives in
that vicinity. The ancient native
boat was brought to Maine by Capt
Eastman of Sebasco and there 1t
has been located for the last half
century. until Mr.. Rowe recently
purchased 1t. 1t Is roughly hewn
from a cedar tree and is some two
inches thick. 1t measures approxi-
mately IL feet in length, has a beam
of three feet and tapers gradually
from the bow until it has a stern not
unlike a dory type. On the back end
OF the one piece craft Is a hollow
evidently for the purpose of sculIing
TIE novel boat, while a keel running
over three quarters of. the length of
the craft resulted From the peculiar
mode of carving. 1t represents
many hours Of hard work and is an

bluffing most realistic. The mother
of the Dermott family was Emily
Kinney and she with Gerald. John
son, Phyllis Farwell, Margaret Nc
Cam and Eleanor who depicted the
other children were all that could be
desired in their respective parts.
The element of love entered the
piece through the efforts of Cath
crime Thompson as Faith Crombie
as Boobies sweetheart and Geral-
dine Taylor as her mother. The cast
was completed by Griggs, the butler
in the Dermott household, ably
played by Henry McCracken.
The play was coached by Cecil M.
Rollins of the history department of
Colby College and to his efforts
much of the smoothness of the per-
Torrance was due.
Music between the acts was fur
nished by the Waterville High
School orchestra under the direction
of Mrs. II. c. Marden. The students
played particularly we'll and they
were heartily applauded.
All proceeds of the play will go
towards financing the various activi-
ties of the school and a substantial
sum was realized. The business
manager was John H. Sawyer.

Says Earth Due
To Liquefy in Some:
80 to so Million Years

London, Feb. 12.-(AP) - The
earth's crust constantly is growing
hotter and in some 80 or so million
years it will liquefy completely. This
statement was made before the Royal
Astronomical Society here. Professor
John Jolly, professor of geology and
mineralogy at the University of
Dublin. Professor Jolly. author of
several publications concerning the
birth of the world and numerous 9TH
er scientific essays said the lower
layer or sub-stratum of the earth's
trust, upon which the cont ants and
floors OF the oceans rest. are con-
tinually becoming hotter from the
heat of the interior, and will grad
ually change their formations in
many millions of years. and that
when the process is completed the
continents will crack" and will sink
until about nine-tenths of their pre-
sent area Is submerged beneath mol
ten lava.
The sub stratum. Professor Jolly
added, will then cool gradually and
the continents again rise up. This
cyc,e of events has already repeat
ed itself many times in the past, he
averred and will do so many times in
the future.

Brain Specialist
At Chicago Awaits
Arrival Villas Head

Chicago. Feb. 12-(AP)-Chicago
scientists have admitted that the
head of Francesca Villa, described az
"the greatest criminal Of the age"
is on its way to Chicago for examin-
alton by experts.
The disappearance of Villas head
from the bandit chieftain's grave
near Parral, Mex, the night of Feb
5, was followed by story In Ell
Grafico, of Mexico City that an &C.
centric Chicago millionaire interest
ed in criminology" had financed the
theft.
The Chicago millionaire has not
been identified but DIR. orlando F.
Scott. prominent Chicago brain
specialist, has announced that he
expected the head would arrive here
within a few days.
1.-THE head will be examined from
a pathological standpoint by experts
from universities and colleges" he
said, but he stated he was not al
liberty to divulge any other informa-
ton and he refused to discuss
whether any Chicagoan had been
involved in the affair.
A band of five obtained Villas
head, reports from Parral said. They
opened the grave and decapitated
the body. Near the grave they left
a note that the missing head would
be carried to Columbus, N. M, the
town villa that his band raided ten
years ago. Two men, one described
as an American soldier of fortune
and a Mexican companion, were held
by the Parral constabularyc on Feb
z. They claimed they had been in
Durango hunting big game.

WATERvILLE HIGH
SENIORS PUT over
AMUSING COMEDY

Another Waterville High school
play became a part of the history
of the school when last evening the
three-act comedy, 9TH Leave 1t to
You," was presented at the City OPP
era House by a cast of students. The
play began at 7.30 o'clock and short
ly before this time the theater was
comfortably filled.
In all respects it's was a successful
evening. The play chosen this year
was one which took the fancy of the
audience and there were innumer-
able situations in the three acts
which brought forth laughter. The
story of the play has to do with the
Dermott family of England who de-
spite its social standing is faced with
economic hardship. An uncle, Dan
lei Davis, comes from South Amer
lea and he sedulously encourages the
Dermotts' belief that he is of fabu-
lous wealth. Taking the children of
the family aside one by one he
promised each his fortune, provided
that none of the children tell the
others of the promise he had made
to him or her. The uncle departs
and the children, DESTROYS Of making
themselves favored in his eyes, set
to work I'M different pursuits with
an ardor they had never before
known. 1t results that the promises
bring the best out of the children
and each is met with success. Fin
ally the uncle returns from South
America and as he is about to tell
them that in truth he has no wealth
they inform him that because they
have made money they absolve him
from his promises. Hereupon the
uncle confesses his falsehoods and
all are happy.
Bobbie Dermott, whose forte Is
the composing of songs, was played
by Deane Quinton. He handled the
difficult part as one with much pre-
vious experience and his rare ability
was large factor in the success OF
the performance. David Vigue was
the uncle from South America and
at all times was his big-hearted

Explains Attitude Il
Of Lower House in .
Hard Coal Suspension

Washington, Feb. 12-(AP)-Rep.
resentatiye Tilson of Connecticut,
the Republican floor leader, issued
statement today In explanation of the
attitude of the house during he an
thracite suspension.
At the opening of this session of
congress-" he said, 'the president, In
his annual message, recommended
certain legislation which would have
the effect of extending the present
powers Of the executiv branch Of the
government with reference to medi-
alton in future labor disputes In the
coal mining industry.
1.-THE chairman of the Interstate
and foreign commerce commission
and the leadership of the house were
and are Of the opinion that no good
purpose would be served by attempt
ing to formulate permanent legisla-
ton Of this character at a time when
the existing circumstances might
arouse false hopes in the minds Of the
warning factions, and might bias the
Judgment Of the congress.
. L believe that in delaying action
on the presidents recommendation
for permanent legislation on this
subject, the chairman of the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce and the leadership of this
house acted wisely, and that the re-
cent settlement was Expedited by rea-
son OF the refusal of the congress of
the United States to attempt inter-
ference or to influence he chief ex-
ecutive to that end.
Now that the strike Is settled, the
congress may proceed to consideration
OF the presidents proposals for ex-
tending the executives powers to
meet a further emergency in the
calm and dispassionate frame of
mind which will be conducive to
sound legislative action"

Urge Experimental
Fighting Squadron
Naval Air Service

Washington, Feb. 12-(AP)-Cre-
alton of an experimental fighting
plane squadron in the naval air SER
vice with the ships manned entirely
by enlisted pilots is recommended by
the special board appointed by Sec
rotary Wilbur to outline a policy for
the department on the proposition of
commissioned and enlisted fliers to
be maintained.
The special board was headed by
Rear Admireal NJ. M. Taylor and in
cluded five naval aviators and two
other officers who have commanded
aircraft squadrons. 1t was directed
by Secretary Wilbur to study, in
addition, system for the naval SER
vice under which officers specialize
ing in aviation can be fitted also to
command the sea fleets and not be
narrowed exclusively to aviation
units.
The boards recommendations, as
modified upon review by the bureau
of navigation, which considered also
minority, recommendations by three
of the five aviation members on GER
tain points, have been approved by
Secretary Wilbur and legislation is
being drafted for presentation to
congress to make effective such re-
commentators as require change
in law.
The specific recommendations were
numerous. including a provision that
naval aviators be given the rank OF
commander only when they have had
year of responsible duty aboard a
cruising surface ship. that officers
on cruising ships add ships work
detail to their other duties where
possible to assimilate the require
ments of naval command; that ul-
timately all air organizations be
commanded by men qualified fol
both line and aviation duties.
