Heavy Rainstorm.

We arrived at SOiOfnOfS Island at 6.4t
J o'clock Saturday evening and had just
stored the machine away for the night
when a terrific rainstorm struck the
| island. keeping UP with great fury the
greater part of the night. Had the rain
struck us an hour sooner out on the new
state highway under construction we
would in all probability have had to
spend the night there, as the earth was
soft and fresh. After a good supper and
q nights rest we planned for our return
Journey. Hiring a barge Sunday morning
we loaded the machine on board and at
10:15 o'clock, with the aid of a motor
boat headed across the mouth of the
PatuXent river, which is two and a half
miles wide where it empties into Ches-
apeake bay, for Milestone. on the oppo-
site shore. This is not a regular ferry
service. but residing in that vicinity
motorists and transfers frequently use
this method of transportation from one
side of the river to. the other The
motor boats and barges. however. can
are none at Milestone. The charge for
ferrying US across was 81 for the ma
chine and passengers
Landing on the other shore we turn
ed to the left at Milestone and started
took the left fork, and passing over a
fairly good road found ourselves after a
three-mile run in the. little burg of Her.
manVlie. we were advised to take this
route as the road was considered in bet
ter shape for motoring than the other
roads. On our arrival at Hermanville.
we turned to the right, passing throufh
Jarboesville, where We Kept straight
ahead for Leonardtown. which was to
be our dinner stop at noon. After leav-
ing Jarpoesville We next headed for Cali

reached at 1910 O'Clock
we continued to keep straight ahead

times was up to the hubs of the ma

we turned to the right Both roads at
TINS point lead to Leonardtown, but as
the roads were extremely heavy as the
result OF the heavy .downpour the night
previous We were naturally looking for
tne best roads we could find into Leon
ardtown: We passed in front of new
frame church at this point, and after a
run OF a mile pulled into Hollywood.

gatherings. The island has a population
of about 600 residents the year round,
which is increased during the summer
months to about 500 or 91J, including Wis

greater portion of the island is owned by
a resident of Connecticut who makes oc-

odometer showed it to be seventy miles
by road.
There are three churches on the island

MOTORCYCLE NOTES

A road race to Fernandina will be
staged by the Jacksonville, Fla,
Motorcycle Club early in April.
One of the many runs planned by
the Maryland Motorcycle Club is a
230-mile trip through Maryland, Vir-
GINA, West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania. The route Is over good, bad
and Indifferent roads, and will be q
great test of the capability of the
motorcycle.
Guy Jackson of Terre Haute. Ind,
who has been motorcycling in Califor-
MIA during the winter months is now
riding his two-wheeler back to In

c. A. Bradley an enthusiastic motor
cyclist of Shelburne Falls, Mass, has
added a side-car to his motorcycle and
now his grandmother, who is rs years
old, accompanies him on many trips.
The Irrigation Department of Egypt
is making use of motorcycles in its
work. The department finds that its
work can be almost doubled at less
cost than by using horses.
Proof of the effective work done by
motorcycle mounted officers is shown
by the fact that a large per cent of the
cases brought before the grand jury
of Dayton, Ohio. during the last term
were presented by motorcycle officers.

of the notes bore large check mark,

Both the bank men said they had no

Long asked if it wasn't possible that
these we're marks of the auditors, and
was informed by Breckons that "the
auditors never saw these notes." 1t
seemed for a moment that possibly the
investigators had found a clue as to
how the officials had distinguished be-
tween the notes which were really for
salary advances and those which were
for other purposes. Finally, though,
the bank men decided the check
marks were made by former note
clerk when entering the notes in the
bills receivable book. But the close
examination in the matter, slight as it
at first seemed, shows the carefulness

Did you use it this morning.? there is little re-

Many of the children assumed that headache,
IeaIache, and other ailments were perfectly nat
ural things, and seemed surprised that anybody
should be curious about them "Why, always
have headache" they would say. DIR. Hoag
found that by simple questions about the chill
idrens eyesight, the teacher, without any optical
tests at all, would discover that 90 per cent of
her children suffer from eye-strain.
From II to IA per cent of the country school
children suffer from earache, and per cent have
,discharging ears. "AdenOids earache, discharg-
ing ears, deafness: that's the order we find over
and over again." says DR.. Hoag -Four or five

Hoag an old-fashioned unjacketed stove had sent
the thermometer to the sizzling height of 80 de-
grees, while it was 10 below zero out-of-doors, a
difference of 100 degrees. The children in the
country are generally plentifully fed, DIR. Hoag
finds, but they do not eat the right kind of food.
People in the country do not breathe pure air,
because, with abundance of it all about them,
they carefully exclude it from their houses by
keeping the windows tightly closed These are
some of the things that have caused the country
to lose its reputation for good health as COM
