Parties Dispute
Trend in Maine
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


Political normally has returned
to Maine after "six long years"
but it left in its wake today train
of dispute that will go on until
the country speaks the final word
in the national election on NoVem-
Der 8.
The respectable proportions by
which the Republicans won the
Maine State election brought joy
unreStrained to the party'S ma
tional leaders. It brought out
again the old saw, "AS goes
Maine, so goes the nation" al
though that adage has been dis
proved so many times as to make
it doubtful barometer.
The Democrats were somewhat
disapT61nted at the figures, al
though they had expected defeat
and were inclined to be somewhat
philosophical about it.
The Maine figures represent a
very respectable victory, especially
in view Of the fact that the Re
publicans Inseated a Democratic
governor and two Congressman.
To the Democrats, however, it
spelled merely a return to the
normal Republican victories which
save in unusual years they have
always been led to expect. They
pointed out that the average Re
publican majority in presidential
elections, extending back over 60
wears, has been approximately 49,.
600 votes. With a record-breaking

TO SET
SCHOOL HOUR

Whether Anacostia Junior and
Senior High School will continue
its policy of opening at $3.50 in
the morning instead of 8 o'clock
will be decided tomorrow after
noon when the Board Of Educa-
ton meets at the Franklin Admin
iStration Building.
DR.. Chester w. Holmes, former
principal of Anacostia who inaugu-
rated the school study classes for
the last six weeks of the spring
semeter and who recently was ap-
pointed assistant superintendent
Of junior high and vocational
schools, said today he would rec
ommend the board permit the
school to continue the policy. He
had, he said, found the policy of
supervised study in the school
much more satisfactory than home
study. He will read his report to
the board tomorrow.
Asked If other schools had asked
permission to open at $3.50 instead
Of at 8, DR.. Holmes said they had
not. He added, however, that if
such a request is submitted to the
board it probably would receive
favorable attention.

II expected the State to go

Senator Thomas observed:
ut was to be expected. No

got on its feet and there is a

Other comment included:
Senator Hill CD OF Florida:

Maine to the Portland visit of GOV.
Alfred NJ. Landon, Republican
presidential nominee.
The majority hung up by Sen
ator White in Portland was hailed
as significant of the great surge.
Two years ago, Governor Brann

TWO of the Congressional dis

ment Of the advocates Of the
Townsend old-age pension plan
and one Of these was Endorsed by

unpleasantly cool the night before.

her control. Her eyes rested de-

her thoughts danced over their
breakfast conversation.

OF course. by that he simply
meant he'd been keeping her at work.
What else could he mean? If she

CHAPTER 8

THERE WERE faint shadows un-
der Joans eyes the next morning but
her eyes were bright and none of her
crisp efficiency had deserted her
when she appeared in the breakfast
room a half hour before Julian
Sloane.
The shadows didn't come from late
ness Of the hour at which she had
returned from dancing. But Joan
had had little sleep. 1t was her
thoughts that had kap. her awake.
She was no silly little romanticist to
seize moments and develop them in
dreams When she had something to
face. she faced it for its true worth
and scorned the deceptive auras.
Last night she had had something
to face. 1t wasn't her job. Win or
Alex but 1t was her feeling for
Julian Sloane. The fact that he was
her employer. being annoyed with
her, didn't bother her. She knew
quite surely that his attitude was un-
fair and that he was the sort of
person who would be sorry for it. He
had gone off to New York early in
the morning without telling her when
he would be back and. after all. she
was a secretary. not a wife. Her
hours and what she did with them
when she was not working with him
were her own.
The thing that worried her was
that his annoyance-his coldness.
she finally admitted-had the power
to spoil her whole evening. to make
her forget her fun, to cast her from
heights to complete desolation.
Then she went back step by step
over these four weeks. From the
very beginning she had liked him,
found herself intrigued by. dependent
on him for all the stimulation she
had. Except for that one night-last
night-she had seen no one else and
she hadn't realized before that she
was fascinated. dangerously so, by
him.
Joan, wide-eyed in the darkness of

would happen to her If she permitted
the fascination to grow. Julian Sloane
would never be interested in her.
And herself? She knew enough
about psychology to know that she
had fastened on Julian Sloane for
two good reasons: there was Win
and her desire to escape from her
own emotions. The heart on the re-
bound, she supposed it was. And
Julian Sloane was different from any
attractive. by far, than any man she
was ever likely to know.
Well since now she knew, she
would know what to do. She ar
ranged her mind neatly and turned
over on her side to compose herself
for sleep. Hereafter she would shut
him out Of her thinking completely
Her ears would be less alert for his
footstep. her eyes would see only the

Nevertheless she lifted them with
a quick. nervous glance at his face
when he entered the breakfast room
and she was disguised at herself be-
cause she was relieved to find him
smiling cheerfully.

MEADOW STRIPS SERVE
DUAL PURPOSE ON FARM

Meadow strips take care of water
from terraces and provide hay
crop at the same time, according to
H. r. Tribou, agricultural engineer
of the Soil Conservation Service.
The strip is generally about 20 to
80 feet wide, while the length de-
ponds uopn the size of the field and
the area that the landowner wants
to convert into a meadow strip.
Water flowing from terraces emp
tying into the strip is slowed up
spread out in sheet, and soil that
might wash from terrace channels is
collected, eliminating practically all
soil loss on the field.
The practicabi1ity of the meadow
strip, said Tribou, lies in its being
easy to establish, its permanency
and usefulness. Meadow strips can
be moved several times in one year
The hay from the strips is often
worth more to the farmer than any
crop that could be planted on the
same area.
A very good example of the eff
cheney and utility of the meadow
strip as terrace outlet can be found
on the farm of L. 0. Willard, who

HIGH SCHOOL SMOKING

DICHMOND is debating the question of
~ whether modern high school buildings
should include smoking rooms for boys and
girls.
The assistant superintendent of the public
schools of Richmond who says he does not
smoke neither approves of it among young peo-
pie, favors such compartment if school pupils
are smoking secretly.
It is better, in his judgment, to have them
commit this offense out in the open rather than
slip around into the alleys and hide away behind
counters in drug stores to indulge.
This brings up an old, but ever-new question
which applies not only to the habit of smoking,
but of drinking and dancing.
It is precisely the issue that so greatly arous-
ed interest among the Baptists of the State when
trustees of Wake Forest College sanctioned SUI
pervised dancing on the campus of the institu-
ton instead of bootleg events of this sort in 9TH
er localities.
Some colleges for women have faced this
problem as it relates to the habit OF smoking
among the girls and have opened rooms in their
buildings in which students who desire to smoke
may so. disport themselves.
The psychology on which this rather iber-
alistic step has been taken is that it removes the
repression which collegiate authority imposes
upon the young people, and that when the latter
find that they are not forbidden to smoke, the
habit loses one of it's main incentives-that of
flying in the face of such authority.
It is a question, of course, open to varying
views Dogmatism seems out of place in trying
to locate oneself in satisfactory position
Certainly, in these days when young people
especially are insisting upon and demanding
rights in self-expression never requested or ex-
pected by their elders when the latter were at
the same age,it is wise to feel ones way into pol
icies and innovations that will meet the exigen-
cies of these more dynamic and militant youth
movements
