An illuminating glimpse into th'
lives and homes of the poor whites IL
the Kentucky mountains was givei

Anna Ernberg, director of the Fire.
side Industries of Berea College IL
Kentucky gave an exhibition of han.
fdicraft which was Of especial Interest
and value. The purpose of the Fire
side Industries in the Southern col
lese ives to revive and foster the ole
time arts Of weaving and spinning
and largely through the efforts OF
the Director this work has attracted
| naticE wide interest.
In this lecture demonstration Mrs
ErEberg explained the arts of weav-
ing. dyeing and handicraft and ex-
hibited some Of the articles made by
the mountain people. She told the
Audience Of what it had meant to
some of these people to find that their
almost forgotten ability to make
things in the old-fashioned way was
lucrative. In this manner they had
made a few dollars and for many OF
them it was the first cash they had
ever possessed, most Of their trading
being done by barter and exchange
The various articles displayed by the
lecturer were beautiful and showed
the result of hours Of painstaking
labor aided by natural ability.
Mrs. Ernberg emphasized the value
OF handmade articles over those
made by machine. she said for they
represented the ability of the maker
to create by hand, heart and brain
Her talk was one replete with per-
sonal experience Of her work in the
mountains, and after its conclusion
many took the opportunity to exam
inc the display more closely and dis
cuss the work with Mrs. Ernberg.
Five Hawaiian musicians all pos
sessed of fine singing voices and real
musical ability presented the even

setting transported the audience in
mind to the Hawaiian islands. A
feature Of the program was some in
formation regarding the history OF
the Islands az told by George Vierra
tho leader. Special lighting and
scenic effects and native costumine
added to the pleasure of the evening s
program. The musical numbers in
cluded several popular song hits as
weH as the native music, and both
were equally well received.

Maxim Coffee Pot
Interesting Relic

City Treasurer George II. Will,
has an interesting antique coffee Dot
at his office that was at one time the
property of an old Hallowell family.
1t bears a brass plate on the outside
saying that it was made by Hudson
Maxim. 1t is very ingeniusiy con.
structed, with much the same idea
as modern percolater, but with a
separate compartment and spout for
hot water, so that one might weaken
his coffee to taste. Various odd vents
here and there assure the escape Of
steam. The spout had a neatly fitted
top, chained to the coffee pot The
whole forms an interesting relic and
one worth seeing.

Gardiner friends have received word
Of a very pleasant summer from Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis F. Blake at West
Kennebago Mountain near Grants,
Maine. Mr.. Blake is acting as fire
warden at the station there and they
have sent home glowing reports of
their life in the Maine woods. The
tower is situated $3.50 feet above sea
level and is 1870 feet from the foot of
the mountain. They can see mountains
60 and 80 miles away, including Mt.
Washington and Mt. Katahdin. A re-
