the drivers agreed to settle the matter
without court action.
Miss Ethel Kelley and Miss Viola
Gray, both of Belgrade, are at their
homes suffering from internal inju-
ries, the extent of which have not
yet been determined, as the result
of an automobile accident, in which
they figured about 8 o'clock Sunday
evening, on the road from Belgrade
Depot to Belgrade Lakes and about
four miles from Belgrade Depot.
They were occupants of a Ford tour
ing car which collided with an Es-
sex coach and the Ford rolled over
three times before coming to a stop.
In the Ford, which was driven by
Miss Gray. were Miss Kelley and
Stephen Judkins Of Belgrade. The
Essex with which 1t collided was
driven by John Marshall of Water
vile, who was accompanied by Err
win Weifs and Donald Weifs, also of
Waterville. The Essex was driven
into the ditch but the occupants es-
capped injury. The two girls were
attended by a doctor and were after
ward taken to their homes.
An officer from State Highway Po-
lice headquarters went at once to
the scene Of the accident to make
an investigation and later sent a
wrecking car from this city to clear

SHOE ENGINEERS

Even the best of shoes sometimes
have a habit of going wrong. Carey
& Poulin, at their shops on Water
street and Cony hill. are the shoe
engineers" that are called In to
straighten out the difficulties that de-
velop in footwear. So well are they
able to do their work that it is no
uncommon thing for a pair Of wom-

have an entirely different style.
Skilled workmanship coupled with
a desire to please has made the Carey

merits and they have come to be re-
garded with the greatest Of favor by
the many who patronize their shops.

car, without gasoline or passengers
weighs $3.50 lbs, or slightly less than

SUCCESS MARKS
PATH OF PRINTERS

Increasing popularity among tnoss
who like good printing is the good
fortune that has come to the Wnlte
& Horne Co. Of Hallowen. Whether
a lob be large or small, the same
careful attention is given to 1t. Elk.
celIently equipped to do all kinds OF
work and abundantly stocked with
materials to meet the needs OF their
customers, the White & Horne co.
has built a reputation that has ex-
tended much farther than the con-
fines Of Hallowell or even kenneoec
county.
From the very start Of the bust
ness, it has been the aim of the firm
to do printing Of a distinctive char
acter. In this they have succeeded.
The growth has been steady from
small beginnings until now the house
Is one Of the most popular OF its
kind.
In addition to the printing. the
stock OF Dennison goods which is
complete meets with the favor Of the
many who have need OF those things
SO necessary to the success OF par
ties.

when its paint begins to wear off.
Paint fills cracks and crevices, and
sends its tentac1cs down into the
pores of the wood, keeping out the
rain which destroys it. Tin caves
and drain-pipes require similar
protection from rust.
While paint in any color is pro-
tective, the pleasing appearance of
a house is wholly dependent upon
the choice of the right color
scheme. A paint dress for the home
should be selected as woman of
taste and discrimination selects a
costume for herself-with a view to
its suitability to type, style, lines,
etc. In short, it should be be

White, cream, or the light colors
are best suited to the large house.
The cottage or bungalow may be
more wildly painted. Where houses
are close together, similarity-or at
least harmony-is desirable. A
bright color-scheme for the tree
shaded house, and a more subdued
one for the house in the open, IS
a good rule to follow.

new DEVICE SAVES
WASHDAY LABOR
New Method of Drying
Clothes Offered
Housewives

Announcement today Of the New
Easy Washer with a new method for
drying clothes without a wringer is
of great interest to every woman in
America With this new washer,
which has two tubs, one for washing
and one for drying, 1t is possible to
wash and rinse and dry all at the
same time. Washing time. according
to the manufacturers, is cut down to
a mere matter of minutes. One whole
tub full of clothes is washed while
another entire tub full of clothes is
rinsed and blued and dried.
This new drying device gets an
entire tubful of clothes dry enough
to hang on the line in three minutes.
While the careful housewife prefers
to hang clothes out in the air and
sunshine, she may If she chooses
with this new Washer, iron clothes at
once after running the dryer for a
few minutes longer. She is thus In
dependent of cold or rainy days.
The announcement from the Easy
Factory continues to say that the
New Easy washes by the same
Vacuum Cup Principle which has
made the Easy famous. The thou
sands of these washers now in use
are exactly the same as the new
model except that in the new washer,
the new clothes dryer has replaced
the wringer. Both models will be
manufactured in the future. The
New Washer is simply an addition to
the Easy selection.
Among the most interesting points
of this new machine Is the way in
which all of the water is handled by
the new water circulating system.
Many steps are saved and all lifting
and carrying of water has been done
away with. The warm soap water
when removed from the clothes be-
fore rinsing Is returned to the wash
tub without a drop of waste. Thus
it is economical of soap and hot
water. The rinse and bluing waters
are also returned to the proper tubs
with no more effort than the touch
of small handle. When the wash
ing is all finished, the washing tub
empties itself into either the drain
or sink.
The thing that makes this new
Washer so entirely new and different
iloln al otnerS is tHe TACT tnaI Two
tubs are used in it's construction
one tub for the washing of clothes.
the other for drying, rinsing and
bluing. This feature makes it pos
sible to do two things at one time
in the New Easy, and not only saves
time. but greatly reduces labor.
All complicated operating mecha-
nism has been avoided in this new
washer and a whole washing. rinsing
and drying is done in a simple man
ner, with very little effort on the
part of the operator.
The New Easy is now on display
in number of local stores and Is
being viewed by the housewives of
the community.
