M. DUMESNIL'S RECITAL.

Another friendly link between
France and America was forged with
music last night at Memorial Cont
mental Hall when Maurice Dumesnil,
French pianist, gave charming re-
cital under the auspices of the League
of American Pen Women and used
Chopin's own piano for part of the
program. Since the establishment Of
the Conservatory Of Music at Fon-
tainebleau for American students,
France and the United States have
had close interests musically. The
bringing Of the Chopin piano on an
American tour for the benefit of mu-
sicians needing help in France further
cements these interests, and M. Du-
mesnil is the Lafayette In this case.
The concert last night was in the
nature Of special ceremony, for it
was the first in the tour. In the alb
sence Of the French Amba assador, who
is in his home country, the charge
d'affaires of France, Count de Sar-
tiges, was the official representative
present. Counselor and Frau Dieck-
hoff of the German embassy also were
in box and Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Thompson Seton were in the audi.
ence. Mrs. Seton is the national pres
ident of the society which sponsored
the concert in Washington.
M. Dumesnil opened his program
with a group of '"Twelve Preludes,"
the entire first book of preludes, by
Debussy, musical Corot of France.
The pianist seems to have the typ.
ically French gift for gracefulness
and suavity in his playing. Among
the preludes that seemed most inter
esting as presented by him were LES
Colliness d'Anacapri," "Ce qua WI lie
vent d'Ouest," LA File aux Cheveux
de Lin" La Serenade Interrompre,"
La Cathedrale Engloutie'' and La
Danse de Puck" each of which show
ed entirely different musical mood and
color, and all of which were particu-
larly descriptive.
Then followed the famous Funeral
March Sonata" of Chopin, which was
played in Washington Saturday by
another extremely individual French

SENATOR GOULD
ENDORSES HEALTH
SEAL CAMPAIGN

In what probably is the first state
ment he has issued on subjects 9TH
er than politics since he became a
United States senator from Maine,
Hon. Arthur r. Gould of Pressure
Isle on Sunday released through the
Maine Public Health Association a
ringing approval of the annual sale
of health Christmas seals and health
bonds.
Il heartily endorse the sale of
these health seals and bonds,
throughout the state" writes Sena-
tor Gould to the M. p. H. A. Il ap-
preciate the very fine work that is
being done-especially for the bene-
fit of the tuberculosis sufferers. Best
wishes for the success of your drive"
A pledge of her own personal sup
port of the seal sale campaign and
an earnest request that all Maine
parents and teachers help in every
way possible, was voiced in a letter
from Mrs. Joseph D. Small of West
brook, president of the Maine Par
ent-Teacher Association, who said,
II heartily endorse the sale of the
little Christmas seals with it's praise
worthy objective of Better Health
in America" as it is promoted by the

Chile to Look Into
Proposal of U. S. in
Regard Tacna-Afica

Washington, Dec 5-(P)-Chile has
agreed to consider, in principle, the
proposal of Secretary Kellogg provid-
ing for the cession to Bolivia of the
disputed provinces of Tacna and
africa.
Notice that Chile had consented 10
give consideration to the suggestion
of the American secretary of state,
made on his part as the only way out
of the forty year old dispute with
Peru, was contained in a note re-
ceived today at the Chilean embassy,
a similar note was forwarded to the
state department through the Ameri-
can embassy at Santiago.
Mr.. Kellogg had proposed cession
of the territories to Bolivia because
he believed that their division be-
tween Chile and Peru ION any basis
, of agreement presents almost insup-
cradle difficulties so long as each APP
plies to every arrangement suggested
the test of whether it may conceiv-
ably enable the other to claim a
moral victory"
Perpetual demilitarization of the
provinces. which Mr. Kellogg had
fixed as one condition in the transfer
of sovereignty, Chile said in her note
must be understood in its widest
sense, eliminating all possibilities
that in it or its territorial waters
there may be maintained bases for
forces of land, air or sea-"

we are making in Difference to lofty

nWNERS of homes that were
Vbuiit some years ago are apt to
consider them out of date, sell them
and build new homes Many times
this is a good practice, as the needs
of the family may be such that the
old home is no longer large enough.
However, many of these homes
would be satisfactory If the owners
would rebuild them and apply paint
of different color scheme, thereby
securing for themselves modern,
attractive homes at a comparatively
low cost
What may be done with The old
fashioned two gable home is shown
IN the larger OF the two iilustra-
lions. The smaller illustration pic
lures the type of home OF which
there are thousands in all parts of
the country. Houses of this type
were erected when home architec-
ture was in its infancy. These
homes were well built of excellent
materials. 1t is anything but econ
omy to tear them down. or to sell
them, They can be transformed in
many different ways into modern
attractive. comfortable homes.

In the instance disclosed by the

of the house was extended at the
same pitch to provide roof for
the porch. This was supported by
large porch columns. Into the roof
was set wide dormer. The kitchen
entrance was covered with per-

for vines. Blinds were added to
the house, relieving the baroness OF
the walls.
In choosing the coior scheme for

as that chosen for the walls, tend
to make small house seem larger,

STORM PRECEDED
BY WINTERS FIRST
SUb-zER0 MARKS

Preceded by a bitterly cold Sat-
urday with the mercury sinking
steadily until at midnight the first
sub-zero temperature Of the winter
was registered and with four and
five degrees below being reported
Sunday morning, snow began falling
at about $50 o'clock Sunday evening,
and continued with increasing inten-
sity until at midnight last night
there was every prospect of storm
OF real blizzard proportions and a
heavy fall of snow.
Saturday was a most uncomfort-
ably cold day in this section, but
with the below zero temperature of
Sunday morning, the mercury stayed
about twenty degrees under the freez-
ing point, and motorists had consid-
cradle difficulty with radiators and
CONCEALED grease.
The snow of last evening was fine
and dry, and driven by cutting wind
from the north east carried a real
breath of old Boreas. Transportation
lines in this part Of the state had
not been seriously affected by the
snow fall up to midnight, but with
reports of heavy storm in New
York state, and the progression of
the storm towards Maine, there was
a prospect Of delayed schedules for
the morning.

Gov. Smith in
Clash with Four
OF Water Power Com

Albany, n. Y, Dec. 5-(P)-The
controversy between Governor Smith
and four Republican members of the
state water commission moved swift
ly toward a crisis tonight when the
governor made known that he had
retained Samuel Untermyer. New
York attorney, as special counsel to
protect the interests of the state.
The governor intimated that Mr.
Untermyer is to take such proceed
ingS in the courts as may be deemed
necessary"
Governor Smith requested the
commission to delay action until
December II to permit the compile
ton of the investigation now under
way into the legal and other aspects
Of the proposed lease and for "the
preparation of the necessary papers
on an application to the court to en-
jon your proposed action"
The commission had indicated an
intention of licensing the develop
ment of water power on the ST. Law
renee River at Barnhardt Island to
one of two applicants, the American
Super power Corporation and the
Frontier Power Corporation.
The governor. in his letter, said
that because of the position of the
attorney general of the state" as a
member of the commission, he was
unable to secure the disinterested
advice and assistance of the CHIEF
legar officer of the state" The COM
mission proposes to grant the Ii
censes at a meeting in Albany on
Wednesday,
I'm addition to the reasons already
given by me-" the governor said
after consulting with counsel, it is
