ORCHARD HEATING A SIMPLE
PROCESS

Many, fruit growers are still
skeptical as to the exact benefits
obtained and look upon orchard
heating as a complicated process
to be undertaken only by those
familiar with the technicalities of
the process. Orchard heating is a
comparatively simple operation
and may best be conducted if a
grower understands what is meant
by frost. The term ''frost" is used
to designate the deposit of feath-
cry, spinelike, translucent crystals
which form on the ground and
other exposed objects when the
temperature falls to 80 degrees
or lower. A more general use of
the term is the occurrence of any
temperature of 80 degrees or low
er, whether frost forms or not.

Great Number of
Police Reserves
Held in Readiness

London, May 11.-P1-The Brit
ish government expects the strike
to be settled without firing a shot
or fixing q single bayonet. it was
said at the war Office this evening,
in an official statement explaining
the purposes of the newly recruited
constabulary, to which King
Georges subjects are focking by the
thousands.
The governments strongest line of
defense against strike disorders is
the regular police force; the second
line is the special constabulary
force, which today reached 10000 in
London and 100000 in the prov
inces; and the third line Is the civil
regime.
Stats Of large insurance. CONNER
cial and manufacturing concerns in
London are being sworn in as spe-
cial reserves by the wholesale in
groups of twelve. The men are CIV
en- armbands and police whistles,
told to return to their desks or fac
tories and cautioned to be ready for
emergency calls.
With the sreat number Of police
reserves available, the war office
does not expect that troops will be
needed in even the most turbulent
areas and for the transport of es-
sential foodstuffs.

Discuss Rules of
Camp Sanitation
In Health Speech
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Portland. May 11.-"Summer Camp
Sanitation" was the subject of the
weekly health talk broadcast from sta
ton WCSH this evening. The paper
was prepared for the occasion by DR.
Clarence F. Kendall. State commits
sioner of health. and read by DR.,
George Holden Coombs. director of the
divisions of communicable diseases
and social hygiene OF the State de-
partment of health.s DR.. Coombs said
in part:
Camp sanitation is a problem which
is rapidly attracting the attention OF
health workers, camp owners and peo-
pie who are contemplating spending
their vacations in travel and camp
ing or who are sending their children
to camp for the summer There are
several kinds of camps. but we are es-
pecially interested in those camps
which are used by the public, such
as the boys. girls and family camps
and the tourist or automobile camp
The necessity for proper sanitation
for these various kinds of camps has
become a vital factor in the welfare
and progress of the State of Maine.
We would urge the automobile trav-
eler to occupy the permanent automo-
bile camps as far as possible because
they are properly protected by SAM
tary inspections of these camps by the
State department of health.
If one has vacuum bottles, safe wa
ter may be obtained from the public
water supply of cities and towns
through which one may pass. or from
water supplies which have been exam
ined and are known to be free from
pollution.

Waiting for Labor Leaders

II there were no other grounds for
this deduction the fact that the
premier and several other ministers,
as well as some prominent officers OF
, the labor department remained at the
prime minister's residence until
after one o'clock in expectation OF
receiving a communication from the
labor leaders, would be sufficient to
show the Importance of the discus
sions.
Not until the officials received a
definite message that labor represen-
tatives would not for the present
make a visit to Downing Street, did
the officials separate and leave for
their homes.
1t was announced afterwad that a
trade delegation probably would con-
fer with the premier and other min
listers sometime this morning, AFTER
Ia meeting of the labor leaders.
While apparently matters have not
progressed to a point enabling the
trades union congress and the par
liamentary Laborites to submit any
definite proposal to the government,
the belief Is generally expressed that
not many hours will elapse before
the premier and his colleagues Will
receive from the trades union coun-
Gil some important communication.
It is understood the executives OF
the miners federation, who lett
Eccleston Square more than an hour
before the labor conference adjourn

The woman, who was sentenced
to serve ten years for the theft of
$3.50 worth of jewelry from Buff

as a maid. escaped by digging
through her cell wall and scaling
the outer barrier with the aid of a
plank early yesterday. She was
found under a pile of straw in a
field IL miles north of Auburn this
morning suffering from exposure and
hunger.
Auburn prison officials, under
strict orders to give out no infor-
nation either about the womans
story or her condition, refused to
confirm or deny Northumberland
reports that she had developed pneu-
monia.
A farmer going to work noticed
her arm protruding from a pile of
straw and promptly notified the
prison authorities. There is a
standing $50 reward for informant
leading to the apprehension of an
escaped Auburn prisoner.
A party led by John Martin, dep
uty keeper, found her in a pitia BILE

dress had served i'll as protection
against the cold drizzle and she had
been without food since Sunday. She
was barely able to talk. The noto-

55 to %. Some of the bill went on
record for this amendment, while some
opponents voted against it.
