Another reason which is said to have
influenced the choice of this place as
a summer home is the fact that this
region is full of squirrels, and the pres
ident during his summer sojourns at
Red Top" which is only short dis
lance away, was fond of going into the
woods with his gun and couple of
friends similarly equipped. The most
important reason of all, however. for
the selection of this place was the fact
that it is just suited to the needs of
Baby Ruth on account of its extensive
grounds and pure atmosphere. There
is an abundance of shade trees and

The WORK TO BEGIN.

The Question of a Senate Divorce Com
mittee VIII BE Agitated Next Week.
The General Assembly will re-convene
on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and
the real work of the session viii begin
The speakers will not announce the
committees before Tuesday or Wednesday
and it is likely that, before that time,
the Senate will have decided to appoint
committees on divorce and roads. The
members feel the odium which has been
attached to this class Of legislation but
some Of them assert that the present
condition of the judiciary makes it i'm.
perative that the General Assembly
should accept divorce bills, and, after
careful consideration, pass or reject them.
There is law which provides that the
General Assembly shall pass upon such
bills, and until that law is repealed it
will be difficult for the Legislature to re-
fuse to consider them as it considers
other measures.
