Took Rising Sun Route.

Not being DESTROYS to take the short
route" to the Quaker city. and in order
to avoid the sand stretch between Perry
vile and Elkton, they decided to take the
route up via Rising Sun. For several
miles out of Perryville they found an ex-
cellent macadam pike. They made good
time, but the two pilots, becoming dis
gusted at a farmer who plowed up the
dust for mile after mile and refused to
let the big Mitchell car in which they
were riding to pass him, managed to
squeeze by the farmer and his team, and
they then proceeded to kick up little
dust themselves. So intent We're they on

and invigorating air, they climbed over
the hilltops and through the mud holes
when suddenly it daWned on them that
they might once more be wrong. BY this
time they had covered about eight miles
out of Rising Sun. 4 decision was reached
after II short conference of the two
pilots-namely, Whitney Leary and Fen

cided to return to the town of Rising Sun

Saunders. Leaving Washington last Sat
urdav morning at $40 o'clock it was the
intention of the three who composed the
party making the run to the quaker
city to arrive there early in the afternoon
and be prepared to return home about
O. clock in the evening. The motorists
made Baltimore all right, and soon the
little village of ToWson was reached.
All went well up to this point. when the
two trail-blaZers suggested what theS
thought to be the right road to Havre de
Grace. Mr. leary, ST., dldn attempt 10
tell his companions the route, as he had
only been over it once to Philadelphia,
and, both of the boys having recently
negotiated the same trip from AsDury

smoking a cigar. and listened to the two
pilots on the front seat who We're to take
him through with safety and dispatch.
After brief discussion it was decided
to take road in an easterly direction:
After going several miles it was agreed
by the two pilots that they were evil

looked like the one, whereupon they re-
traced their tracks Another start was

road. Another attempt was then made.

trips they got started. and. judging from
the description of the road given to the
writer, they plowed their way through

pike and after much delay arrived in

LIVE MEETING
IN new HOME
Commercial Clubs Finances to be
Put on Sounder Basis
Social Features Next

The first meeting of the Com
mercial Club in it's new home in
the Hover Block was more than
usually we'll attended and the ses-
sion was taken up with live discus
sions pertinent to the good of the
Club and the community.
Perhaps the most important move
of the evening was the decision for
a systematic effort toward the col
lection of membership dues now
owing the club. At present a dis
cussion of the the clubs finances is
a delicate subject, but if a large
portion of the back dues could be
collected, amounting to more than
$500, the organizations affairs
could be put in good shape and the
new year be started on a sound
basis.
To bring this about a motion was
made by H. A. Hover and passed,
whereby the secretary is to notify
each delinquent member of the
amount of dues owing by him and
to make all reasonable effort to col
lect same, either by personal solic-
itation or by mail. At the end OF
two weeks a list of those members
who are still delinquent will be
posted for two weeks in the club
room. Members whe are still de.
linquent after 80 days will forfeit
the privileges of the club and after
a period of three months will be
dropped from the membership roll
