Advisory Council Situation
With Johnson Included,
Becomes important.
BY Clark Il. Kelsey,

q United Press StdD CorreSDordcrt
CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The joint
meeting of the American and Ma
tional Leagues opened here today
with the reelection of Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands to the office of
high commissioner of baseball the
principal topic scheduled for discus
sion.
In some quarters II was regarded
as almost certain Lands will be re-
tained in his present position for an
other seven years, possibly at an IN
creased salary, but the action takon
Wednesday at the American League
meeting when Ban Johnson. presi-
dent Of the Junior circuit, was re
stored to the advisory council,
caused some to doubt that today's
discussion would be harmonious.
Banned for Two Years
johnson was banned from the
council two years ago to satisfy de-
mands made by the commissioner.
This advisory council has been a
bone of contention ever since Lands
was elected six years ago.
At the time It was provided that
the presidents of both majors, with
Lands, should constitute the coun-
ell. Differences are said to have
sprung up between Lands and
Johnson, and two years ago Landis
demanded Johnson's removal. Frank
Navin of Detroit was substituted.
but the American League is said. to
be dissatisfied with this arrange
ment and Johnsons return to the
council was the result.

NOT ENCOURAGING

Not all the criminals In Texas
have been pardoned by the Fergu-
sons and Texas must feel nightly
relieved at the overwhelming de-
feat Of "Ma". It will also be relief
to the women Of the country, who
must have experienced more or less
humiliation In the role assumed by
Mrs. Ferguson, as the mere mouth
piece Of her man "Jim". But 1t

A GOOD OPENING DAY

We guess some of the members Of
the Three Quarter Century Club
stopped over to take in the Central
Maine Fair att Waterville. Anyhow
a lot Of folks were there on the
opening day and, what with the
zippy air and fine exhibits to stimu-
late, the directors smiled, the peo-
pie smiled and a good time was had
by all.
Evidently the old folks enjoyed It.
their comfort being carefully looked
after and entertainment provided.
The Central Maine Fair is an
institution that gives it's patrons
their moneys worth and this year
the weather has started in to help
out. We hope it may continue in its
best mood; the efforts Of the AS
ISOLATION deserve the favor and the
attractions merit a large attendance.

Shorey. Director of Publicity. State
of Maine Association, who will &C
company Mr.. higgins. taking him to
various points of interest through
out the state. The pictures Mr..
higgins will take on Maine should
be Of the utmost interest to every
section Of the country, as they will
show what Maine has to offer along
recreational industrial and agri-
cultural lines. Among the subjects
to be filmed are the hardwoods of
Maine. her sardine industries at
Eastport. her lime Quarries, potato In
dustrv, her many water resources
and points of recreational appeal.
The big sardins carrier Black Dia-
mond Of the Booth Fisheries and
Sardine Company feet piled up on
the rocks at White Head at the en-
trance TO Bliss Harbor on the cana :
dian side a few miles from Eastport
in the thick weather and severe
electrical storm that visited that
section early Sunday night.
The boat was bound up the can
adam shore after fish for the East
port plant when she went ashore.
The damage to the craft has not
been ascertained and whether or not
she can be floated at this time Is
question and attempts may have TO
be delayed until next month.
The Black Diamond is one of the
best Of the local sardine carriers and
is valued at about $4,000. She was
built at East Machias in 1918 and is
sixty FIVE feet in length and equip
ped with a sixty horsepower crude
oil engine.
In order to relieve automobile
traffic congestion at Harmons Cor
ner. Manager William F. Goodwin
of the Biddeford Motor Mart is to
voluntarily remove the gas pumps
from in front Of the Motor Mart.
They are to be moved into the yard
near the Motor Mart building.
1t has been quite common at the
corner to have lines of cars held up
from Harmon's Corner to Kings
Corner at several times during the
day when cars were pulled up to
the Motor Mart pumps for gas. Mr.,
Goodwin feels that his action in
moving the pumps will greatly re-
lieve conditions on that section of
the street. His voluntarySremoval of
the pumps is an action which will
be much appreciated by those using
the section of the street quite fire.

Just a. he amused the world with
nonsense verse written for the
charming Christopher Robin, A. A.
Milne turned his pen to the detective
yarn, largely. he says. because his
fathers favorite reading Ii the mys-
terry story. II thought Of rather
good way Of numbering somebody"
he writes, "and instead of leaving 1t
at that, went on thinking about II,
and finally decided that II would
make q good story. began to write
the first chapter and left the story
to take care Of itself.
The result is THE Red House
Mystery"
The puzzle of this story is not 50
much who did it." as "how II was
done" A problem of identity also
enters into 1t, the solution of which
comes as a startling surprise. The
scene Is a manor house in an isolated
English village not far from London.
There in the little red house are
gathered the owner and a party OF
friends, and the owners secretary.
Matthew Cayley. The master Of the
house announced one morning at
breakfast that he expected a ne'er-
do we'll brother from Australia.
The party with the exception of
Cayley, then departed for the golf
links, and an hour later a man is
found dead in the Office off the heIl,
near the front door. Thorough that
door there enters
Antony Dillingham;, a whimsical
wanderer of money and leisure, in
search of a friend Of his who hap
pens to be in the party. Gillingham,
and his friend, with the assistance
of the secretary Cayley, play Sher-
lock Holmes and Watson. and con-
sidering that they are new at the
game, they play 1t with amazing
ability and fnesse. Small clues lead
to big discoveries-the position of a
key in the door, the finding of col
lar in a linen basket, are treated
with such gravity that an accumula
ton of these details creates the
highest tension, and it is a faded
reader who won't forget both clock
and bed and read on to the end.
Every true reader goes On from
book to book. hoping that one day
he will come across the perfect de-
tective story" says Hildegarde Haw-
thorne IN writing of this tale. Here
it is! Read 1t and be mystifed, be
thrilled. be puzzled. be sure you
have the right answer, and then
not so sure and then sure 1t is
another answer, and then again in
doubt. And at the end be ever
lastingly surprised and thoroughly
content"
The rare combination OF mystery
and humor found here seldom hap
pen together in a detective tale.

roads were overvalued in order to
bolster up excessive charges are not
forgotten. From these came the ef-
fort to value the railroad property
under Government supervision. This

Government valuation Is found to
exceed that which the company car
ried on its books. However the
charges served political purpose

tractor said. ''In by opinion that
10 absurd. Men who drink do not

want hard liquor. When was in

me we had light wine and beer all
around US. 1t was easy to obtain,
and 1t was cheap. Were the Ameri-
can soldiers who drank satisfied
with this kind Of stuff? No, they

anything for 1t. 1t would be the

talk about prohibition" said the con-
tractor, lis that you think IL It only
as II affects your own associates,
the wealthy people you know and
see every day. You do not know
how 1t affects the working people
and the poor. / do know because I
employ a great many Of them. I am
no crank on this subject but speak
from experience. Prohibition has
been worth great deal to the
building trade and to all other trades
which employ many men. Whatever
it costs, 1t is worth the price, in my
opinion"
This is sound argument for pro-
hibition. The nation needs some
evidence of this kind. Moreover, II
undoubtedly shows how the most of
the men who really know what the
effect of prohibition has been feel
about the enforcement of the Vol
stead Act.

Editorial Comment
Short shrift For a Bad Proposal


On. Y. World tDem.D
Under Secretary Winston has lost
no time in declaring the opposition of
the Treasury to Representive Mad
den's plan for devoting sl50,000, 900
of foreign interest payments an
nually to tax reduction. He is safe
in doing so. for Secretary Mellon is
firmly committed to the present
policy. II will never be easier for
the country to pay off its colossal
debt than now. when business is at
a high level of prosperity. We do
not know what emergencies lie
ahead. and our national credit should
be kept in the best possible condision.
If Mr.. Madden breaches his plan in
the next Congress public opinion
should support the Administration
in promptly extinsuishing it.
