BUDDHIST PRIEST STEALS.
Now Must Spend Month in Jail for
Needing Temptation.

SHANGHAI, January LIN the
Shanghai Mixed Court appeared one
recent morning Zung Nyoen-sung, a
Buddhist priest. to answer a charge
or theft. Zung explained somewhat
in this manner: With the peoples
minds turning to affairs of state and
TO agitations. the Golfers of his little
joss house became leaner and leaner
Much as his religious soul revolted
against the idea, Zung was forced TO
pawn his robes of office. Without his
robes he could induce no worshiper
to darken his temple gates. Finally
he was driven to hire himself out as
a boy" For time he bore his lot
with fortitude and worked as one of
the faithful. One day, however, while
rummaStng in his masters trunk he
was overjoyed to find a complete
priests outfit. This was too much to
resist. Zung took the garments and
Jewels and set up d small temple.
But along came the police and the
temple was closed. SO is the world
to Zung, for he has been sentenced to
one month in Jail.

POISON GAS INEFFECTIVE

Protest against the use of poison
gas in warfare appears to have made
little II any Roadway but a ray of
light comes from an unexpected
source. Germany's foremost expert
in the use of poison gas, DR.. Fritz
Haber, announces that this gas is
not as effective in warfare as is
commonly asserted. One is re-
minded that Germany under the
terms Of treaty is denied the priv
ilege of indulging in poison gas, but
in event of war there is little rea-
son to suppose she would not be
prepared to make 1t.
Undoubtedly there Is widespread
fear of this weapon. What will be
the effect If we become convinced
that this apprehension is unbound
ed, that poison gas isn't so terrible
after all? Are we to stop thinking
about 1t and leave to the experts to
do their worst without any protest
from us, or are we to say that II
there is no cause for apprehension
on this account why continue to
spend a lot of money on a weapon
that Is ineffective?

THE LESSONS FROM A cATAs-

What bolt of lightning did to the
Lake Denmark ammunition depot in
New Jersey a bomb from an airplane

say there is no dependable appara-
tus for protection against lightning
and the war demonstrated that there
Is no sure way for protecting them
against bombs.
Under existing conditions. what
with the army and the navy, storage
of ammunition at places suitable
for practical distribution in time of
need is essential. Where may it be
stored? Obviously where there will
be the least menace to life. Lake
Denmark does not appear to have
been such a place although 1t might
be difficult to find in the east one bet
ter adapted. Senator Edge was dis
posed to criticize the Government for
locating 1t there but the Governor
Of New Jersey refrained from criti-
cism.
One phase Of the situation appears
to be obvious; a way should be de-
vised under which storage houses
filled with combustibles should not
be grouped, however much Of con-
venience obtains from such an ar
rangement. 1t is probable that this
feature will receive due consideration
at the investigation which is to be
held. Meanwhile we best be CRATE

SQUIRREL ISLAND

During the past few days there
have been quite few informal but
most entertaining affairs.
The first Special Hop" was held
in The Casino Thursday night, July
8. This event brought. forth many
amusement seekers regardless OF the
dismalness and dampness of the
evening. Throughout the evening
the floor was crowded and the
orchestra gave forth it's usual talent.
That same evening the few guests
also managed to find amusement Tor
themselves in a progressive bridge
game which lasted from $40. The
hostess and instigator for this
tournament was Miss Theodore
Bates, of New York City. There
were four tables of competitors, so
that the affair was not a large one,
but proved a very pleasant way OF
passing away the time on rainy
and foggy evening. Miss Mary h.
Clapp, who has shown her remark
able bridge playing on many other
occasions ran off with the first prize
again this evening with a score of
1884. 1t was a lovely rose colored
saucer and top made of glass on
which to stand tumbler. The sec
ond prize went to George Yates
with his score of 2156. He received
two packs of playing cards. There
were two consolation prizes which
went to A. H. Worster and Mrs. II.
F. Folsom. Their scores was 779
and 7S4 respectively The former
received two match box holders,
while the latter was presented with
box of peppermints. This proved
to be the first of a series of bridge
games which have now taken on the
form of a tournament to be played
off as soon as possible.
Another party which took place
the same evening as the Special
Hop" and the Inn bridge party was
that of Miss Robinson. There Were
quite a number of cottagers and also
Inn people present at this affair. II
was a bridge and heart party.
There was one table of heart play
ers, and two of bridge. Among those
present were Mrs. Powell and son,
Bradford, Mr.. and Mrs. +. H
Knowles and son, David, Mrs. and
Miss Sherwood, Mrs. Allen, the guest
of Miss Sherwood, Mr.. and Mrs.
Snowman and their daughter, Mrs
Spencer, Mrs. and Miss Emery
Mrs. Folsom and Miss Theodore
Bates. 1t was a very entertaining
evening. Mrs. Snowman and Miss
Gertrude Emery won first prizes al
hearts. while Mr.. Snowman and Mrs
Emery walked away with the honors
at bridge.

TWO OUGHT TO BE ENOUGH

In baseball one is limited to three
strikes before being called out but
in divorce learned Judge from Chi
cago would fix on two divorces as
the limit. He thinks that otherwise
there Is danger OF contracting the
divorce habit; that II one fails after
being granted. two opportunities he
demonstrates inability to choose
wisely.
Such an arrangement would cause
uncomfortableness among those who
already have acquired the divorce
habit but might serve as a restraint
OF others on the way to habit form
ing. Moreover, considering the over
worked condition in which most of
our courts are, It would seem that
considerable relief might be found in
restraining the number of divorces
There are other more important
matters which should not be side
tracked while the dispensers of law
are oothering their heads over ar
ranging mates for those obsessed
with mismating.

Why Find Fault
With Best There Is?

July IS, 1926.
Editor Kennebec Journal,
, Augusta, Maine.
Dear Editor:-I have been much
disappointed with one of the habits
in Maine since / returned from the
West, and l can't help thinking of
the wonderful contrast between the
people of the West and of Maine.
On arriving in California, at the
different places l was much i'm
pressed with the way everyone, no
matter how large or how small their
! town or city might be, praised it's
beauties and advantages, never a per-
son saying a word derogatory to it's
great future. Their city or town was
the very best in the state, their coun-
ty the most desirable, and their state
the most wonderful in all the Union.
This applies to Arizona and other
western states as we'll as California.
On returning here after being four
Years in the West, l have been think
ing how nice it would be in this great
publicity drive if the different agen-
cies would start something which
would make the people stop and think
before telling visitors and strangers
the disadvantages, as l know many
do.
l was In Bangor the other day,
where / supposed that everyone would
be commencing Lucerne-in-M Maine
after the wonderful advertising it has
given Maine. and especially Bangor,
and right off the bat one prominent
business man began to criticize it to
me. l believe it was thoughtlessness,
but nevertheless those things all hurt.
If everybody praised every honest de-
Np1CnT1ar1f in Of vi, :
the advantages would be correspond
ingly great
This is one of the things which has
kept Maine back in the years past. /
sincerely hope that the remarkable ad-
Vertising in which the governor and
his associates are so vitality interested
will cause these critics to preach the
virtues of their State. county and town
to the world, and If there are any dis
advantages keep them to themselves.
After crossing the continent six
times the last four years, having
toured quite good deal, l can truth
fully say that there is no section in the
whole United States more beautiful
than Maine. nor more advantageous
for industrial development If the wa
ter power. freight rates, etc, are
properly handled. I never realized It
quite as forctbly as on my return
from the west, and being in business,
as was, in California, 1 can honestly
say that I believe young or old men
with or without capital can find more
opportunities in New England than In
the west.
You may use this letter as you see
fit, but If in my humble way l can
start something which will cause the
people of Maine to pause and think
what they are doing by criticizing
when they can praise their State, /
shall feel repaid.
Very truly yours
