Republicans Can Win

the state informally, Mr.. Snyder ex-
pressed the opinion that to win this
fall. especially If Governor Smith
should stand for election, the Re-
publicans should nominate a wet for
governor. He stood ready to inform
Mr.. Coolidge so, he said, adding that
not only should the Republican can
didate for the senate be a wet, but
the party platform at least should
go to the extent of approving the
action of the state legislature in pro-
viding for a referendum on the pro-
hibition question.
AS for President Coolidge, how
ever, there was no apparent consid-
GRAFTON given to political conditions
The day was one of the pleasantest
with bright sunshine and balmy air
since his arrival in the Adirondacks
one week ago, and after fishing trir
in the early morning, he spent the
time in quiet relaxation.
Putting out on Lake Osgood In a
guide boat for nearly three hours In
the morning, the President added tc
his fishing laurels by catching a
three-pound pike, and then, content
with the achievement, returned to
the camp to give his attention to
routine government business that
had been brought to him from Wash
ington.
The day was not so restful for some
or the newspaper correspondents,
who have accompanied him to the
mountains, however. A. H. Kircho-
fer, of the Buffalo News, and Leon
ard Smith, OF the New York Evening
Post, had an involuntary ducking in
the cold waters of Lower st. Regis
Lake when their canoe capsized. They
were fully clothed.
The two chung to the canoe and
after being in the water nearly Is
minutes were rescued by Erwin Stro-
bel, a native, who went to their as
sistance In power boat. Major
Coupal, physician to President Cool
idge. attended them, and tonight thew
were none the worse for their expe-
rience.
The American flag was raised above
the summer White House today on
new 80 foot f1agpole. President
Coolidge attending the setting I'D of
the pole and the raising of the flag
by his naval aide, Captain Wilson
Brown. At Washington, Mr.. Cool
idge has the flag on a standard be-
side his desk at all times and it was
in continuance Of this custom that
he had the flag pole put up in front
OF his living cabin and office at White
Pine Samp. There was no ceremony
attending the raising but all hats
went off as the flag scared aloft.
The afternoon Mr.. Coolidge spent
on the porch of his-r1ain cabin, read
ing and later going over the mail
Mrs. Coolidge in addition to spend
Ing much time sewing during the
day, went for canoe ride on Lake
Osgood. Canoeing provides a diver
sion for her as well as walks in the
woods of the camp and even into the
adjoining state forest reservation
which she takes almost every day.
Mr.. Snyder was accompanied by
Mrs. Snyder and they will be guests
at dinner of the President and Mrs.
Coolidge tomorrow.

Green Soup Daily
Dish of Portuguese

Lisbon. July d4-(P)-Caldo Berde
or Green Soup is a daily dish in
nearly all the north of Portugal and
forms very palatable and whole
some repast.
Green cabbage leaves rolled and
held tightly in the left hand are used
with a good piece of the roll held
outside between the thumb and fore
finger. From this roll, very thin
slices are cut off with a sharp knife,
and when opened form extremely
narrow, short strips of cabbage leaf
These are placed in a bowl of cold
water, and rubbed between the palms
of the hands. The water is changed
until it ceases to have any green COL
orinS, as the juice from the cut cab
bage spells the flavor of the broth.
Place in a saucepan some potatoes,
boil them in salt and water and when
boiled mash well in a potato masher,
or IN Portuguese fashion with a fork,
against wooden spoon. The Iotato
pulp then is mixed with the water in
Which the potatoes were boiled. some
olive oil added and when this mix
ture boils, add to it the cut cabbage,
leaving the saucepan uncovered, SO
that the greens shall not lose their
bright color.

His survey of the Mt Hope sector
Just over the hill from the Navy de-
uot revealed that 1876 families would
need rehabilitation of some sort.
About 25 families. representing 126
persons remain homeless and will be
cared for until temporary places have
been found for them.
The latest unofficial estimates place
property damage as high as S65,000,-
600 for the Lake Denmark naval ar
senal, s5,000,000 for the Pictinny army
and 100000 for civilians.
Four towns were practically devas-
tated. In Mount Hope. 107 company
owned miners cottages were wholly
or partly destroyed. Wharton, Rock
away and Hibernia were the three
other towns that suffered the greatest
damage. Smashed plate glass plaster
and debris were strewn through the
streets of Dover, Boonton, Milton

Succasunna and Ironia.
About 100000 of the estimated CT
william damage consists of claims for
injuries to 500 persons. These claims
will have to be considered by Congress
as the army and navy are not author
lied to pay them and they cannot be
taken to court.
Estimates of loss In the Picatinny
army arsenal, adjoining the naval de-
pot, were based on the assumption
that none Of the army's stored ammu-
milton had been destroyed. vast stores
Of the ammunition remained intact in
the naval arsenal today, also, although
the amount could not be learned with
out further investigation by a special
hoard of officers already appointed.
Great trees lay stripped Of bark and
foliage in the 10-acre naval sreserva-
ton, and nothing green remains near
the exploded storehouses.
Jagged holes so feet deep and 100
feet across in solid rock mark the
sites of two storehouses that blew up

not been located early today. Oficers'
houses and barracks lie crushed nat,

was dismissed on that account and
was thought to have hired a room IN
South Boston. Her last known adj
dress was 233 Warren avenue, in the
RoXbury section.
Hospital officials said that the girl
worked there as cleaner, and that
previous to coming there she had
worked as a cashier. In her refer
ences she gave no names Of relatives.
Identification was made by Miss
Landry, a fellow employee at the hos
pital. who was aided by an original
Photograph and two silver filings in
the upper back teeth.
1t was learned that Miss Green had
been a state ward since childhood
and was one of three children. The
police we're told that she had left the
hospital because of her condition
She hired room in the Roxbury
section on July and left her belong
inSs there, and that same night
young man called for her and took
her away with him. She was never
again seen alive.
The name of the man was known
to the police and they were search
ing for him tonight. They learned
that on July 3 he took out marriage
intentions for himself and Miss
Green but so far as could be discoy-
cred the marriage was not per-
formed.
Mrs. John r. Macdonald, Dorehes-
ter, with whom the Green girl room
ed from June 26 until she disappear
ed, said tonight that she with her
clergyman had urged the girl to get
married.
You treat me just like a mother"
Miss Green remarked when her land
lady advised her to never mind the
financial end" l never had a mother"
the girl said. "and I'll do as you say"
Mrs. Macdonald told her to consider
herself an oldest daughter.
Mrs. Macdonald was greatly at
tached to the girl despite their short
acquaintance.
Last Friday, Mrs. Macdonald went
to the girls room and was surprised
to find the key lying on the dresser.
She did not see the girl afterward.
Upon reading of the finding Of the
body Mrs. Macdonald said she be-
come uneasy. Today series of calls
and visit to the morgue left no
doubt as to the fate Of her missing

N. E. College Girls Spend

A group of New England college
girls, If they carry out the agreement

may be of great service, both to them
and to the public. +.->
The girls represent Wellesley, Rad

fifty of them have pledged themselves
to lind jobs for the summer in fac

working today. They must not let il
be known that they are college girls.
they Will choose a factory town or

wanted columns of the newspapers
and in every other way place them
selves on the same footing as. the

But there is still another phase Of
the matter that we hope the girls

met face to face than when viewed

Duty on Piano

Paris. July 10.-(P)-An American
piano house that presented President
Doumergue with a sample has placed
him in a rather embarrassing posi-
ton. With the notice that the piano
had reached Havre came a request
from the Customs authorities to pay
5000 francs duty.
AS a non-piano- playing bachelor
the President had no great use for
the instrument and the idea of pay
ing some two hundred dollars on IT
offered no attraction. Consequently
he write to the Customs Department
to explain that he had only accepted
the present from courtesy, not TO
hurt the feelings of the donors, but
that he had regarded the gift as
having been made to his office rather
than to him personally. He added
that he intended to leave the piano
at the Elysee Palace on the expira-
ton of his term of office in the hope
that it would be of more use to his
successor. Therefore he asked IL tile
authorities thought that NJ. Doumer-
que, the private individual ought %
be asked to pay the duty.
The officials, after consulting all
the texts available, informed the
President that the point could only
be decided by the Minister of FL
nance. The Minister at the time
was NJ. Raoul Peret but before he
could give his opinion, he had re-
signed and the President is still
anXiously awaiting the day that his
successor will be able to tear himself
away from saving the franc long
enough to settle this delicate ques-
ton.

To Purify Language

Berlin-(P - The directorate of
Posts and Telegraphs at Stettin has
started a campaign to purify the
German language. The French word
Pension meaning boarding house or
inn, is the first to be chopped off the
long list of foreign words which are
in the German dictionary but are not
to be allowed in the telephone direc-
tory. ....-
Authorities have substituted the
German word "Fremdenheim" Otter
ally, visitors home) in the new d.
rectory without notifying the innkeep-
ers. The arbitrary change. it is
charged, means the loss of business
as even Germans would never think of
looking under the rs" in the direc-
tory for pension" Furthermore they
say "Fremdenheim" sounds too much
lire some sort of an asylum.

generous provision in the history of
the State in behalf of these depend
ents of the State by the appropria .
ton of ,.$5,440,000 for this purpose.
This was 100000 in excess of the
total In the two preceding years and
far exceeded any other similar peri
cd even with the inclusion, of Items
for new construction.
This reflects the changed thought
of our people upon this score.
Following the war very compre-
hensive construction program In the
various state institutions had been
carried out and this had meant a
great increase in the yearly main
tenance charges for the State. A
new building ordinarily means an
increase in annual expenditures OF
from twenty-five thousand to fifty
thousand dollars each year with the
responsibilities that it entails.
The last Legislature believed 1t the
part OF prudence to make sufficient
provision for carrying out the obli-
cations which the State had assumed
and to take a period of two years to
digest the implications Of the tre-
mendous expansion that had been
carried out.
the feeble minded present the most
serious problem to the State. Many
of the feeble minded have in the past
been committed to- the hospitals for
the insane and this has greatly COM
plicated the situation. Steps are be-
ing taken to afford relief along these
lines.
During the past year the daily av-
erage of inmates at the Bangor hos
pital has shown a decline. but the in
stitution is still left with a number
of patients considerably in excess of
the normal number which the pres
ent facilities are designed to serve.
Unless there is a still further de-
cline in the number for which this
institution will be required to care,
the next Legislature will need seri-
ously to consider the provision of an
additional wing. This was recognize
ed by the last Legislature as the
most pressing problem of the institu-
tons of the State and will undoubt-
eddy receive first consideration in any
new construction that is carried out.
1t was undoubtedly to indicate its
appreciation of this possible need
that the following provision was in
serted in the Republican PLATFORM:
"We indorse the Republican adj
ministration of the States affairs
during the past two years. Rigid
economy has been practised and re-
| sultant saving has paved the way for
| needed additions to our State insti-
| tutions.''
During the next two years 1t
should be possible to carry out this
extension at the hospital in Bangor
if the Legislature shall deem it
| necessary and wise, and possibly
| certain other new construction, and
still look forward with confidence to
the tax reduction which will mean
so much to our State at this time.
The constantly improving cash posi-
ton of the Treasury seems to afford
ample warrant for expecting this
TO be brought about.
