The Luncheon Session

Perhaps the most entertaining and
enjoyable social feature of the busy
day was the luncheon session held at
the Augusta House at / O'Clock during
the recess between the morning and
afternoon business and program ses-
sions. The luncheon was most infor-
NAL and with about $50 members of
the Federation, including many club
women from Augusta and Hallowel,
besides the regular delegates in at
tendance, the banquet hall was filled to
capacity and the overflow was handled
in the main dining room just through
the wide connecting doorWays.
Mrs. Charles B. Porter of Orono was
the POSTMASTER at the luncheon meet
ing and her introductions of the spe-
cial guests and those who proposed
the toasts and made the responses
were most happy. Mrs. Ralph Q.
Brewster and Mrs. Blaine S. Viles of
this city, State regent of the Ds.ugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, were
the guests of honor. -.E
The Federation officers, the honor
guests and two past presidents, Mrs.
Huddieston and Mrs. Wing. were
grouped at one table. otherwise the
ladies gathered in consenial small
groups and the informality made for
most enjoyable sociability.
Mrs. Grace A. Wing of Portland,
past president of the Maine Fedora
ton, presented the greetings of those
who have occupied the highest Office
in the organization. Mrs. Viles most
graciously conveyed the greetings OF
the Maine d. A. r. Mrs. Ruth Film
wood of Rockland told what the Fed
Grafton means to the young club
women. Mrs. Rebecca G. Marsh of
Portland spoke of the work she is
doing in regard to the Maine publicity
bureau at Portland.
In her usual inimftable manner of
address with scintiilating bits of hui
NOR interpolated in her remarks, Mrs.
Jennie Flood Kreger of Fairfield gave
a five-minute talk on jury duty. A
piano duet, "A Spanish Dance" by
Moskowski. was splendidly rendered
by Mrs. J. NJ. Robinson and Mrs. w. p.
Bradford Of Hallowell, and the chorus
singing of America, the Beautiful"
was another feature of the program.

NEW YORK CHAMPAGNE

Maybe that champagne in the bathtub at a
certain celebrated party after ALL Or what New Iork-
ers consider champagne Recent testimony. in court
and out of court suggest that their taste is less certain
in that respect than outlanders used to think.
Here is the New York World, in liquor expose,
revealing the shameful truth that the metropolis is
drinking more champagne than II did before but
that not one bottle of 1000 from any farther
than the Bronx.
The stuff is "factorv-made" The basis of it is
usually homegrown wine. The conSummate product,
for which New York connosseurs and visiting butter
and-egg men pay high $50 bottle, Is synthetic
and the bubbles come from bicarbonate of soda. Just
as they do in pop or ginger ale There would be profit
in the stuff at 81 bottle.
They seem to be born at the rate OF more than one
minute in these prohibition times, and there's more
good money thrown away on blue sky booze than on
blue sky securities.

Roberts Tells
of Computation
of Tire Costs

Motorists are rapidly accepting
the policy of the largest users of
tires in computing tire costs. ac-
cording to J. p. Roberts of the L.
s. Grant Auto Equipment company,
Fire>tonc dealers.
1.-The biggest taxicab and bus
companies III the United States, =
Roberts said, "do not base their
tire costs on the original price Of
their equipment but on the final cost
or cost per mile.
With the large highway trans
portation companies of. the country
investing thousands of dollars an
nually III tires, they must know the
exact cost of their equipment. The
difference in tires costs may mean
the difference between profit and
loss in operation for these big taxi
cab and bus companies.
THE specdometer reading be
comes an important item in their
bookkeeping. They figure the ac-
tual mileage obtained from their
tires and thus compute from the
first cost the actual cost per mile
including the cost of repairs, if
any.
The Firestone company for years
has advocated this method of arriv-
ing at the true value of a tire.
The leading taxicab and bus opera
tors of the United States standard

have found that, based upon cost per
mile, Firestones give more mileage
and service than any other tires.
The fact that motorists are ac-
cepting the cost per mile as the real
standard of tire value is factor
responsible in a geat degree for the
every increasing demand for Fire
stones.'
