Fire Department Answers Call
From Jasper Riley Tuesday

Fire, supposedly originating from

south of Loeb Lynn, about noon Tues

A call was sent in to the Oakland

but neighbors had the fire well I'M

Circumstances during the past week
lead Scoop and Col. Bell to believe
that all may not be over at Garrett
county's Hollywood town. One of the
actors, at least, seems to be "acting
up" and since there is still chance
of framing the ten-reel film Col. Bell
has ordered the grandstand and all
the props and property to be left in
that vicinity for use whenever neces-
sary. The machine, which arrived
last week, has been set up and is
shown with the Col, getting ready for
the Corn Festival, due now most any
time.

Not kidding a speck, the parade on
Sunday was we'll worth watching, for
several reasons. The snappy appear
ance of the Terra Alta outfit was a
sight to behold, and could they not
have played a measure, their appear
ance would have more than made up
for it. But they played too.
The Boys band came down the
street like veterans, and although
they didn't have the military bearing
so outstanding in the Terra Alta band,
they had music in their system and
they let it out to the satisfaction of
the spectators. In fact, the whole af
fair was well worth the attention of
all. Scoop had Col. Bell snap a pic
ture of Oakland's drum major as he
cavorted through the streets.

WELTE AND ROGERS MIGHT
 STAGE X DEBATE

At the moment when Dr. Herbert D. Welte has been telling the future school teachers at the state normal school regarding the high ideals to- ward which they should strive. along comes Robert E. Rogers, professor of English at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and upsets the bean pot once again.
 Professor Rogers, author of the famous snobbery talk of some time back, was in good form during his Wellesley Hills address. There are not enough men teachers, said Mir. Rogers, and as a result the boys of the nation have not been taught to a masculine manner. Hard words these:
 "Our American thinking Is feminine thinking, inCulcated by women teachers, highly competent in detail, immediate in it's aplications. rigidly idealistic regardless of the working facts, and weak on critical examination"
 This seems to be a slam at tho en- tire feminine teaching fraternity, but more especially at feminine teachers for boys during the adolcs- cent period. We note that the chair man of the Boston school board lost no time in agreeing that boys should have men teachers before they are 17 or s years old.
 We do not intend to be the um- pire in this warfare of scholastic opinion, We know some school marms and they are good looking and agreeable. By stepping where angels should stay away we realize we could lose valued friendships quickly and most distressingly. We prefer to leave the subject to Dr, Welte's attention; or perhaps Super intendent Holmes might find time to put in a yirile word to counteract the effect of Professor Rogers un- | kind remarks,
 As for the multitude of he-men in | the luncheon clubs and elsewhe ere, | who have been raised under feminine teaching, perhaps they can | think their share on this subject; and If some of them think i'll Of Pro- lessor Rogers We would not be sur priscd.

MAINE CONTINUES ITS HOLD ON POWER

Greatly to the surprise of the "outside power interests" who have been investing heavily in Maines power plants in the hope that an ex- port of power would vastly increase their potential value, Maine has re- fused to change its stand against the exportation of power from the state.
 Thus the majority of Maine voters took it to heart that the 'Insulliza- ton" of the state was imminent, that the Public Utilities Commission. which is designed 10 protect the peo- ple's interests, would be of no value to regulate power export. All of which was in line with what former Governor Ralph o. Brewster held out: and most people up in Maine think MT. Brewster knows what he Is talking about.
 The power interests have done their best and have failed to shake public confidence in the Fernald law which for 20 years has sought to conserve Maine's power resources for the people of Maine The Smith Carlton bill, passed at the last ses- sion of the egislaturc-which by the way lasted 103 hectic days-would have permitted the export of sur plus power" but not by the com panies producing it. Such surplus power under this bill would have been exported by companies formed for the purpose and which in turn would first buy it under state regula- ton from the producing companies. Put 10 a vote. as stated, this plan has gone into history as q neat attempt to accomplish something indirectly which could not be attempted direct Iy.
 It is safe 10 assume that the quite recent disclosures of the manipula- tions of power interests and their propaganda did not set well with the majority of Maine's voters. These revelations undoubtedly helped ma

 New York and Connecticut have what is termed working agree ment" regarding boxing affairs; but Thomas E. Donohue. state athletic commissioner for Connecticut, doesn't think this agreement goes as far as to uphold the idiosyncrasies of the New York fisticuff czars.
 N1r. Donohue is to be commended for his independence.
 Andre Routis of France, worlds featherweight champion, and Bat Battalino of Hartford have been matched for championship fight at the East Hartford vclodrome on Sep tember 23.
 Chairman James A. Farley of the New York Athletic Commission has asked Mr. Donohue to stop the fight because Routis is under suspension fin New York. MT. Donohue has re- fused to fake action because he con- siders the suspension as unjust.
 The history of the Routis suspen- sion dates from the Max Schmeling affair Schmeling was managed by Joe Jacobs, and refused to fight Phil Scott, an Englishman directed by Humbert J. Fugazy of Brooklyn.
 The New York boxing czars re- taliated by suspending Schmeling, his manager, Joe Jacobs, and every fighter identified with Jacobs stable.
 This includes Routis.
 Commissioner Donohue rightly has refused to recognize the suspension of Routis because he claims that Routis cannot be held responsible for the actions of any other man, especially Schmelng. Routis had nOlnlng 10 QO with the refuSal or Schmeling to fight Scott. The same holds good for Jacobs, the manager. Jacobs tried 10 get Schmeling to fight Scott.
 AS long as Routis violates no rules in Connecticut, and so long as Jacobs conducts himself on the square with boxing in this state, there is no ground for the state athletic com missioner interfering with them.
 The New York state athletic com mission, inflated with an assumption of importance because of the size of the state in which it upsets apple carts, has an idea perhaps that tho hinterland needs it's advice. Many first class fisticuffs encounter has been fought outside of New York. And the East Hartford affair promises to be added to the list.

whether the record of a cemetery

whether the record of a cemetery could be any more appalling.
 Here are some sterling figures from one page of this book-just from one page.
 The highest birth rate ever chronicled in Connecticut was in the year 1918, when the rate was 2S.4 per 1000 of population. The follow ing year, in 1917, it had dropped to 27.8. But that is nothing to how it has dropped since that time For in- stance, in the year 1927 it had fall en to 1S AS the figures have been slanting downwards ever since the high mark of the World war period it is likely that the rate during 1928 was even less than IS.
 But before one grows pessimistic about the reduced birth rate that accompanies the higher standard of living and increased prosperity it is worth peering it the death rate column. In 1916, when the birth rate was highest, the death rate was 16.2 per 1000 population. This was not due to the war. but the deaths oc- cured in Connecticut; and as mat ter of fact, this was a lower rate than during some previous years. The highest death rate in the states history, for instance, was during 1891, when it was 19.2 per 1000 population. In 1927 the death rate was down to 10.4 per l ,000 of popu- lation.
 Fewer births and fewer deaths!
 Although the population has ad- vanced, the total of marriages have not In 1927 there were 2,150 mar riages in the state; but in 1920, when the population was less, there were 14,3S7 marriages; and sever. other years provided more marriages than in 1927-indeed, every year since 1916 did so with the exception of 1918, when there were a great many young men away from home and their sweethearts.
 The divorce column from this page is another eye-opener. The first time the state took notice of divorces was in 1860, when BIO were listed for the year. The figures have increased more or less steadily every year, un- til in 1927 there were 1875 divorces, the highest on record with the ex- ception of 1920. when the figures were exactly the same.
 It is also learned that there has been a steady decreasing percentage of marriages to divorces. It used to be-in 1919, for instance-that there were 18.1 maria ges to each divorce. In 1927 the number had dwindled down to S.S.

 The promises of the power inter ests have fallen on deaf ears. The New England Public Service Com pany. which is an Insull organiza- tion, and of which the Central Maine Power Company is a subsidiary, has been heavily interested in what Maine would do in the premises. The Public Service Company bought the controlling interest in several textile mills and ordered new machinery for them to be built in Maine plants. Followed an announcement by the president of the Maine Power Com pany that if the people voted favor ably for power export large indus tries would locate in Maine, and that one of them would spend s6,000, 900 tIlt III Sl veal. ->O IldIllSo oIlt uHN1H were given and opponents asked for more particulars before being con- vinced. The definite particulars however, were not forthcoming.
 The manner in which the voters sat down on the plan to raise the gasoline tax from four to five cents again illustrates the unpopularity of increasing taxes of this type. The fear that a five cent gas tax would keep tourists out of Maine probably was not a determining factor, at least not half so determining as the realization that four cents gallon seemed enough 10 thrifty Maine resi- dents. And at the same time s10,- 000,0 was voted for improved highways and s5,OOO,0OO for better bridges. Maine wants the roads and the bridges but is not anxious to pay for their upkeep through too high a gas tax. It is human nature all over again.

SOMETHING ELSE TO BLAME ON THE AUTOS

Loud lamentations about poor business that are heard from Coney Island are no different, except for volume, than similar dirges heard from most other amusement centers. It has been bad year, and accord ing to the maestros of the dime catching devices, the hard luck has not been due entirely to the wrong kind of weather. With something of an accord they all blame the parlous situation upon the increasing use of the automobile.
 Listen to Samuel Gumpertz, presi- dent of the Coney Island Board of Trade and owner of the Parkway Baths:
 They come here in those little automobiles. They bring their own food and bathing suits. And they un- dress right in their cars. It is dis graceful. It is indecent. The police and the magistrates should stop it."
 But that complaint is not any, where as loud as that emanating from the fuzzy throats of bankers who do not provide bathing houses, but merely operate -by-four emporiums designed to extract dimes from the pleasure bound. Autoists never get their machines off their minds, we gather from the remarks of the bankers, and are as tight as Yankee farmers when the opening offers itself to play sucker. Besides, man coming to such place with his entire family in his car is less likely to get rid of his weeks pay as he invariably would do if he were alone. Too often, alas, the wife in the
 
 spend a few cents on toys for the lIiddics and let it go at that. The wife, too, is custodian of the edibles ] brought from home in the car, and the whole family doesn't need tc ! patronize even an eatery. With such a development facing the amusemen l catercrS--all to be blamed on Henry l Ford and the General Motors and some others-the world is changing where the dimes used to disappear with utter abandon.
 In New York, by the way, it seem. to be legal to undress in an automo bile so long as the shades are pulled down. In such a case, the judge! have held, the automobile become, a domicilc,
 It might as well be legal every where else. The keen-w witted motor ists who cannot use their cars as domicile at one beach motor over [, another even in Connecticut.

EMBRACES. BIRTHS AND DINDRCES IN NJTNF,GIA

4 volume crammed with vital sta tistics relating to Connecticut is the Soth registration report on births, marriages, divorccs and deaths for the year ending December 3l, 1927. which has just been issued by the state department of health. The volume, printed in compliance with statute does not contain an apology by tho state board for the delay in producing it. The reason for the delay is -cvident-to compile such a complete inventory of vital statistics is no job for few days. The first tabulation by the state of such statistics began in lS4S, but with the passing years the urge for better reports finally produced the present volume, which Chairman Stanley II. Osborn, NJ.

 I get movie after food. My bed is like a little boat It holds our stock when agents
