described the exhaustive tests used
in determining the quality of oil
purchased.
1t is impossible, the witness pointed
out, to detect inferior oils by the
eye alone and extremely difficult
therefore for the motorist to check
up on whether he is getting the
brand Of oil he orders and pays for.
He stated that it took him on the
average five hours to test a sample
of oil and that the tests employed
showed specific gravity. viscosity,
the temperature at which oil will
fash and take fire and the tempera-
ture at which it will pour.
DR.. Massons testimony was given
in the case of the People against
a filling station proprietor in the
Bronx, charged on complaint of the
American Fair Trade League, with
violating Section 1854 of the Penal
law in relation to unfair business
practices. One IF the Leagues inves-
tigators testified that on each of the
three different occasions he had pur-

Keene Hall

Friends of Freedom Academy will
be interested to know of the purchase
of the Keene residence as a perma-
nent residence for the principal. This
became possible only through the eX-
treme generosity of the owner. Carter
s. Keene of Washington. D c., ma
tive of Freedom, who placed the pur-
chase price within the reach of the
finance committee and then returned
to the committee a check of liberal
proportions. Mr. Keene is enlinently
pleased to have his boyhood home
function in this manner and so fulfil
a continuous public service.
The residence will be known as
Keene hall and thus by its name per-
petuate the memory of one of the out
standing representative families of the
town.
Mr.. Keene has been away from his
home town for many years but it is
most gratifying to its resident citi-
zens to realize that he still has an
interest in all its activities and that
he comes back as often as possible to
keep in touch with the old friends and
to make friends of the new

COMPLETING THE SEOUL FAIR

While Maine folks are taking more
of an interest in the Sesqui- Centen-
NAL Exposition at Philadelphia since
the designation Of october as State
of Maine Day. reports Of a discon-
certing nature are being broadcast
from visitors to the Exposition
grounds. These reports cause one to
stop and ponder If the Philadelphia
newspaper man was hitting at facts
when he characterized the EXPOSE
tior as the flop heard round the
world"
Certain 1t is that the Sesqui- Cen
tennial is having troubles of its own,
due largely to the failure of the
daily gate receipts to balance the
cost of maintenance, and when
Philadelphia's responsibility in f1nan-
cling the enterprise is also taken
into consideration, the critics should
endeavor to make proper allowances.
A shows reputation is built to a
large degree upon information dis
semInated by word Of mouth.
But what of the conditions at the
Exposition? Are the knockers" jus
titled in their criticisms? A staff
correspondent of the Pittsburg Ga
zette Times while not agreeing with
his Philadelphia brother in the news
gatherers' fraternity as to the extent
of the flop Of the Exposition, shows
that the big fair is unfinished to a
colossal degree. This might be an
ticipated by the report that the Ex-
position was opened when its grounds
were "but little more than a partially
reclaimed marsh on which several
buildings were being erected"
Commenting on this situation the
Springfield Republican declares:
Although wisdom could easily have
been learned from the example of
Chicago in 1892, Philadelphia would
not postpone its great show for a
year.
THE Pittsburg correspondent, re-
porting as recently as last week,
says that one Of the five principal
exhibition buildings is still without a
main entrance and that workmen are
usually obliged to repair damage on
two others after heavy rain The
Tower of Light which was to have
been the center of a dazzlingly brill
liant lighting scheme, is today lit
tie different from the steel frame of
a tall office building in process of
construction.
LAS with the buildings, so with
the exhibits. They are incomplete
Few foreign governments made any
substantial response to the invita-
tons to send exhibits. Spain sent a
notable collection Of material, but
work in the Spanish building has
not been started. The roads inside
the grounds are easily converted into
mud and the bridges across the la
COON are mostly not in use. The
really interesting exhibits which are
to be found in many places are sadly
handicapped by the unfinished state
of the buildings and grounds. Per-
haps the most hopeful thing that can
be said about the exposition is that
by the time it is ready to close II
may be really ready to open"
Harsh criticism and perhaps not
deserved in so great measure! But
Maine residents who are planning to
visit the Exposition will be encour-
aged in the knowledge that the work
OF Completion is steadily going on
and the Pine Tree State Day is nine
weeks distant.

A low, dark-raftered, homely, cozy
room,
Gay with long rows of polished pots
and pans,
In the deep window sills stand plants

Geraniums and musk and yellow

Whose fragrance filters through the
spicy scent
OF juicy goodies, with the leisure
blent
That knows no bustling citys stress
full boom.
Here friendly neighbors drop in for

Who keeps herself so clean and sleek

And goes home comforted With
warmth and cheer.
