Naked Man in Maine Woods

To prove that the people of the
twentieth century need not be slaves
to civilized convention, Joseph
Knowles, a Boston painter Of outdoor
life plans to plunge into the wilder.
ness of Northern Maine on July l,
without clothing, food, matches, fire
arms or ammunition. He promises to
stay there until October /, to subsist
on fish, game, berries and wild yege-
tables, and to come out fully clothed.
He will live fifty or sixty miles away
from any settlement and will accept
no help from the outside world.
Knowles will make his own fire by
friction; will build a log cabin from
material he finds in the woods, and
will make traps out of what he dis
covers in the practically unexplored
northern part of the Pine Tree State.
All of which is fairly interesting.
Probably Mr.. Knowles will experience
a change of heart when the black flies
make his acquaintance. lf he marches
through Bangor en- dishabile he might
jar the sensibilties of a city which
couldn't stand for september Morn.
The New York Tribune takes
solicitous interest in Mr.. Knowles's
proposed little adventure. 1t remarks.

way of summertime holiday he will SO

Complaint About Names Highways.

The Touring Information Bureau of
the Maine Automobile Association is
receiving a great amount of complaint
about two of Names most important
highways. These are the roads between
Portsmouth, N. H., and Portland; and
that between Danville Junction and
Auburn. In the first named case, the
work is being carried on all along the
route and the contractors are proceed
ing so slowly that it looks now that
unless something is done at once, tn
same conditions the prevailed the last
summer, will continue this season, and
this most important artery of travel
into Maine will be torn up almost from
end to end so that great amount of
travel that ordinarily would come to
Maine will be headed off into New
Hampshire and other sections.
