GIRLS CLUB MEMBERS ENJOY tour OF
WESTERN STATES THROUGH Vivid talk
BY MISS INGRAHAM On her REGENT TRIP

On Monday evening an interested
group of girls at the Augusta Girls
Community Club started on an mag
mary trip to the west, with Miss Deb
orah Ingraham as delightful leader
Their first stop after leaving New
York, with its store windows gay with
Christmas decorations, was at New
Orleans. The trip down through the
southern states had been interesting,
with its views of large cotton planta-
tions. where whole families Of colored
people worked together in the cotton
fields. At New Orleans, with its
streets paved with clam shells there
were other trips to take, ride up and
down the Mississippi, watching the
loading of bamboo, cotton, bananas,
visiting the largest sugar refinery in
the country with its huge elevator.
and the home Of "Bre'r Rabbit" molas-
SEES. Most noteworthy of the New Or
leans sights was the French market.
with It's streets of produce of all kinds.
fruit, vegetables. game; while there
was also the Catholic cathedral with
its bronze chancel, and the cemetery
of mausoleu@s, and another Of under
ground graves.
After trip through Texas they Wis
tied the Roosevelt Dam in Arizona,
largest in the United States, reaching
it by the Apache Trail. and in Phoenix,
city Of palms and roses. There they
were especially interested in all the
different races Of people-Spanish,
French and many others. Indians rum
ming about doing their Saturday shop
ping with their papooses on their
backs.
California next, and the Mission Inn
at Riverside-an immense building
with curios from all over the world,
and among it's bells an original Paul
Revere bell brought from Massachu-
sets three years ago. There was also
a visit to the Sunkist Packing Com
pany, from which so many oranges
come east to New England.
At San Diego there was the harbor
view, with IL United States battleships
besides so many strange birds of all
sorts to see. There were ostrich gar
dens, and the Ramona marriage place
with it's banana tree and wishing well.
OF course a trip to California would
not be complete without seeing Holly
wood and Mary Pickfords home OF
white brick with red tile roof, or the
smaller residence of Charlie Chaplin,
also white brick, with green tile roof.
And there were also trips to Venice,
with it's gondolas and setting true to
the beauties of italian Venice; there
were the Busch gardens In Pasadena,
and Mt. Lowe. tall and magnificent.
Santa Barbara. Miss Ingraham told
the girls, reminded her of New Eng
land. and especially of Camden. with
mountains on one side and ocean on the
other. She regretted to think of the
beautiful city now mass OF ruins
because of the earthquake.
On to San Francisco, with a view of
the Golden Gate, Just as the sun drop
ped behind it. From here trip out
to Leland Stanford University. where
the memorial chapel is true inspira-
ton to any student or visitor, with It's
wonderful stained glass windows and
it's outside picture, Biblical scene, in

YIN. c. 4. GROUP OF
OLDER BOYS HEAR
ADVERTISING talk

shall Go Into Advertising?," a
talk intended particularly for the boy
who is reaching the age when he
must decide what he Is to do to earn
his living, was presented Monday
evening at a meeting of the Knights
of the Round Table of the Augusta
Y. M. C. A., by Ralph G. Weber Of
the Gannett Publishing Co. The
speech, delivered in an informal
manner, was a most instructive one
to the boys and it is expected that
others by representative men of vari-
GUS trades and profession will be de-
livered from time to time.
The speaker told of the childhood
ambitions to become a policeman or
an engineer and then pointed out that
these ambitions fade as time goes on
and many boys "falr' into a trade or
profession, without giving 1t con-
sciou thought, later becoming better
acquainted with it and remaining In
the line Of work which they under
took by chance.
He explained that it is better for a
boy to take a mental inventory and
to decide what particular line he Is
best suited for. then to work with a
view to the goal which he had chos-
en-. Mr. Weber declared that a
youth must make up his mind to do
some one thing better than 1t has ever
been done before and he must not be
afraid to work to accomplish that
end.
The speaker told briefly OF the i'm
portance of advertising and cited
campaigns which have been carried
on by manufacturers Of nationally
known products to put their mer-
chandise before the public. He ex-
planned the various kinds of know
ledge which a successful advertising
man must possess, and told some
thing OF the mental characteristics
which go to make up a good adver-
Using man.
In conclusion he toldl the boys that
that field he should begin at once to
prepare himself. He might practice
writing, perhaps by handling articles
dealing with activities at the Y. M.
c. A. for the local paper, perhaps by
working for the school paper, but in
some way he should practice putting
his ideas upon paper in an interest
ing and forceful manner. Then when
he was out Of school he might get a
job with a printing concern, where he
could learn type-setting and thus
gradually work into the advertising
game. which he declared had now
truly reached the dignity of a pro-
fesSion.
There were present about Is men,
bers of the club and guests, including
several dormitory men, and the talk
was greatly appreciated by all. A
delicious supper was served by Miss
Ethelle Garside and Mrs. Bertha
Overlook, assisted by the Misses Ce-
celia Beane, Fay Bickford and Helen
Bachelor, who served. The singing
was led by Physical Director Jack
Mahan, and Lawrence Murphy, head
of the social committee of the club,
presided at the meeting.

Seek Missino Pastor

Kansas City, Feb. S-(AP)-Search
for the Rev. Francis E. Hagedorn,
20. assistant pastor Of the Immacu-
late Conception Cathedral here, was
being conducted today by the police
and Catholic churchmen, following his
disappearance Saturday night.
Father Hagedorn left the Cathedral
rectory at z o'clock Saturday night,
telling the Rev. James A. Mccartney.
also an assistant pastor, that he was
going to answer a sick call.
His prayer books, his empty billfold
and his leather case for holy oils were
found yesterday in an alley five
blocks from the cathedral.

What wonderful time the girls
had at Yosemite. They were at Camp
Curie in the evening, at the time of
the fire fall" and saw the stream
Of glowing embers rescending appar-
emily from the very sky itself, instead
of from Glacier Point, so far above.
They drove through the gigantic red
wood trees and admired the incompar-
able Yosemite Falls oand it's daintier
sister. the Bridal Veil Falls.
And now came Oregon, a city even
more beautiful than California, and
the most wonderful of all its sights
was Crater Lake. This lake, sixteen
or eighteen miles in size, which can
be visited but three months out of
the year, lies as a surface of the
clearest emerald blue, rejecting tire
mountains about. Miss Ingraham
emphasized most emphatically the
wonder of this lake, as one Of the
most beautiful sights of the whole
trip.
There were many other interesting
things about Oregon, the July 4th
celebration, with it's parade and sham
battle, and the days passed in the

ham stressed the trip along the Ca.
madam Rockies. She took the girls
with her to Lake Louise, where they
could watch the sun rises over the
lake, with it's clear reflections Of the
snowy mountains, and on the trip
back from Lake Louise, still with
miles and miles of mountain views.
Indeed it was with a start that the
girls realized that two hours had
passed. two hours Of interesting des-
criptions, interspersed with humorous
anecdotes, and with loads of colored
folders and beautiful water color
sketches, to bring the scenes home to
the girls. They certainly were agreed
that many of the western states and
cities will mean much more to them
for the evening down at the A. G. c.
C. and the interesting talk by Miss
Ingraham.
After the talk. delicious refresh
ments of sandwiches and coffee were
served, and a social hour enjoyed.

out on the special train from Port

him as compliments Of the manu-
facturers, large size bottle of DR..

Both of these household neces-

safe to predict that the trip will be
made just so much better due to these
well-known State of Maine products
which spread good cheer and good

Many man of Maine can look
