Portland, May ia valuable link
in the chain of agencies devoted to ad-
vertising the State of Maine, it's re-
sources and possibilities, was forged
here today at meeting of sub-com-
mittee of the directors of the Maine
Central Railroad Company by the crea-
ton of a publicity bureau, set UP for
the purpose of broadcasting to the
nation Names outstanding position in
regard to transportation, the first ne
cessity Of civilized progress.
To head this new bureau the Maine
Central has secured Dudley Alleman,
we'll known in Maine newspaper cir
cles. Mr.. Alleman was formerly ed
itor of the Maine Farmer, and later as
ISOLATED with the Portland Press Her
aid. More recently he has been en-
gagged in the advertising business at
Augusta.
LAS a Arm believer in advertising"
said Mr.. Alleman to Journal reporter
today, II am delighted to note this
forward looking move on the part of
Names greatest corporation. Too long
has the Maine Central emulated the
shrinking violet. Too long has it
turned the other cheek for its enemies
to use as target for brickbats.
Without the Maine Central, Maine
would be about as prosperous as the
steppes of Russia. In freedom from
accidents, in complete coverage. in
satisfactory schedules, in the courtesy
and helpfulness of its employees, and
in many other ways, the Maine Cen
trail Railroad makes Maine prosperity
possible and is the outstanding factor
in any movement looking towards the
development of Maine.
"a large proportion of Maine sum-
mer visitors are first greeted and last
seen by the Maine Central Railroad!
Their ideas of Maine are freqcently
determined by these contacts. Few
Maine citizens realize the tremendous
part that the Maine Central Railroad
plays in their lives and particularly
in their economic we'll being. I well
come the opportunity this new pub
licity bureau gives me to aid in the
great work of developing Maine"
Mr.. Alleman will continue to reside
at 81 Chapel street. but will probably
become Names champion long dis
tance commuter, leaving Augusta on
the Pine Tree Limited at asa A NJ.
and returning at $50 P. NJ.

BRACGI0TT| WILL
CONDUCT SUMMER
CLASS IN CALIFORNIA

Mr. Isidore Braggiotti' returned to
Boston, Monday afternoon after be-
ing in the city several days to meet
his Maine pupils for the last time
this season. He leaves for California
the last of May, having recently con-
scented to hold a Master class for
three months in Los Angeles, under
the management of George Leslie
Smith and Merle Armstrong, manag-
er of the Los Angeles Opera Company,
in which Louise Homer, Tito Schipa
Banelli, and others. all personal
friends of Mr.. Braggiotti, are singing
for the summer.
Some of his professional pupils
from Maine and Massachusetts will
continue their studies, through the
summer, at the Los Angeles studio
with the added advantage of the as
ISOLATION with the opera, but it is a
matter of great disappointment to
the large number of pupils in this
state who had hoped to study with
the Maestro this summer, though this
recognition of his eminent profess
sional standing is, naturally. very
gratifying to them all. The following
is quoted from a recent edition of one
of the Los Angeles newspapers:
"The Florentine vocal authority
Maestro Isidore Braggiotti arrives in
Los Angeles June l to conduct a
master class under the supervision of
George Leslie Smith and Merle Ar
mitage. This maestro has since the
war made his residence in America,
where he established a studio at Au-
gusta, Me-, at the request of Nine.
Emma Eames, who had exacted a
promise from him that if he left his
native country he would establish a
studio in Maine.
During the twenty-five years of his
residence in Florence. Italy, it be-
came the mecca for all the celebrities
of that day and he numbers many
world-famous artists among his
friends and pupils. AS a child he
played accomplishments for Adelina
Patti, and later became associated
with Nine. Nordica, Nine. Eames,
Mime Hauk, the De Reszke brothers,
Jean and Edouard, De Gogorza, Ar

operas, notably, Saint Saens, Gounod,

exceedingly logical; he could also be
EXTREMELY illogical. His logic had a
way of breaking down completely
when he talked about women. he
said a number of very unwise things
about them. He advised against mar
rage: he preached celibacy as being
the higher state; he required women
to wear their hats in church; he for-
babe them speaking in meeting.
Paul was illogical about women
He had no patent on it. Men have
usually been illogical about women.
Women have been struggling for
centuries to win a place of self-respect
in this man-made world. All the
laws. all the customs, have been dc
tated by men. Only in comparatively
recent years have women been able
to break through the crust OF mascu-
line complacency and to secure the
recognition Of their most elementary
rights.
The fight for equal citizenship
rights is being slowly won. we stiil
have a long road to travel
The fight for equal property IS on.
There are queer survivals in our law
which bark back to the days when
woman was a chattel.
But the struggle is for more than
legal rights.
1t is desirable that all laws which
limit the rights of women be stricken
out. That is not enough.
1t is not enough that women be no
longer prohibited from speaking out
in councils of men. 1t is highly de-
sirable that they should speak out.
Our human institutions need the saw
ing intelligence of women.
This is no mans world. 1t is a
man -and-woman world. 1t has suf-
fered at the hands of much masculine
counsel. It is high time that woman
gets in her word.
The woman's word is needed be-
cause she knows many things more
accurately than man can ever know
them.
She knows the cost of human life,
it's agony, its longings, it's bitterness
She has learned this lesson in the
months Of waiting. in the days of
nursing, in the years of anxiety. She
cannot, by her very nature, treat life
lightly nor hold it in contempt. Her
schooling leads her to protect life and
to magnify it.
Woman is the great specialist on
life. She can speak with passion and
with conviction. She can tell what
war costs, what disease costs. She
can serve humanity as an expert wit
ness
move that PauIs advice be amend
ed. Let woman speak out, in the
church, in the affairs of state, in the
affairs of the world.
