Spanish Trail Scout.)

South Baldwin county, considered
the weakest and strongest link in the
Old Spanish Trail, weak in the roads
it already has and strong in its de-
velopment possibilities, stood ON tip
Toe through rainy cay and decided
that SO far as Fairhope. Robertsdale,
Summerdale and Foley are concerned,
it will be In Mobile December 10 and
IL to fight teeth and toenail for the
expenditure of a proposed $3.50 900 APP
preparation in such proportion as to
put South Baldwin county, Ala. on
the Old Spanish Trail. South Bald
win county wants to open its wonder
full territory of farming possibilities
and pleasure resorts to the outside
world and it gave assurance to the
good road scouts for the Old Spanish
Trail that it saw in the east and west
national motor highway from the At
lantic to the Pacific the possibilities
of that which it desired.
South Baldwin county wants that
county to be prepared to meet the
road West Florida is planning to
build as an extension of the Old Span
ish Trail onward to the Atlantic
ocean, with the slogan, ..We'll get to-
gether," fixed as the keynote for the
delegation that viii join with Escam-
bia county and the other counties of
Florida at the Mobile convention.

aqueus bodies on perfectly good hill
tops where no such institutions are
supposed to exist.
PROVES IT'S SINCERITY.
South Baldwin county proved it's
sincerity by arranging for a mass
meeting of South Baldwin at Fair
hope next Sunday afternoon, at which
time the communities of Foley, Rob-
ertsdale, Summerdale, Fairhope, Sea
Cliff and Daphne plan to unite their in

Sight Of Uncle Brings Memory
Back to Boy Amnesia Victim
Interest in New Haven Story
Gives Clue-Last Recol-
lection Is of Work on His
Motorcycle.

After remaining at the Volunteer
Hospital for almost week with his
mind blank, the tall. athletic youth
who has beon q puzzle to specialists in
mental diseases was identified yestsr-
day as Ralph @. Towne. 20, Of 2s
Maltby Street, West Haven, Conn. With
the fash o: recognition which greeted
his uncle. George NJ. Chaffee, secretary
and treasurer Of Sherman sons q Co.,
Ssl Fourth Avenue, the young mans
power Of recollection was restored.
Gradually, in response TO tactful ques-
tions, he cleared most Of the mystery
Of his disappearance.
Earlier in the week Mrs. John n.
Drexel, Of East Sixty-second Street,
one Of the active workers in the SO
cial service department of the Volun-
teer Hospital, had taken en- interest
in the case. At her suggestion cir
culars describing the young man had
been mailed to towns and cities
throughout New England
Young Towne will return 20 West
Haven with his uncle tomorrow after
noon. His mother, brother and three
younger sisters are awaiting his ar
rival. He was 80 exhausted from re-
ceiving visitors and answering ques-
tions yesterday that the hospital au-
thorities advised a short delay in his
return home.
Provides Clue Himself.
A daily newspaper that he read gave
the first clue to his identity. Assistant
Superintendent Maurice Davis learned
that he had drawn q circl- around a
story with q New Haven date line.
Furthermore. the name of New
Haven outftting. firm had been found
on his shirt Mr.. Davis got the Po-
telephone.
yes, there is o widow by tho name
Of Mrs. Towne who reported her oldest
son missing" he was told.
A few hours later Mr.. Chaffee, the
uncle, was shown in. Young Towne,
glancing up, Immediately Strengthened.
Take good look at me, Ralph"
suggested Mr.. Chaffee, quietly. "Don't
you know your Uncle George?"
For fully a minute the boy held his
hand to his forehead. Then cried:
Owe got you, it's all right nowl"
Mr.. Chaffee sat Jown TO talk with
his nephew, taking particular pains to
not get him excited Slowly, but
clearly, the story was told.
Mind Just Went Blank.
Ralph remembered one afternoon a
week ago he went out In the back yard
70 tinker on his motorcycle. While
taking a twist on the sprocket with
a wrench everything went blank. The
only other thing he remembered was
when a conductor shook him by the
shoulder at the 125th Street station in
New York. That was last Friday morn
ing A few hours later q patrolman
found him at the Manhattan end Of the
Brooklyn Bridge acting rather queer
ly and complaining that he did not
know where he was. An ambulance
call brought him TO the Volunteer
Hospital.
"IIis wooden sweater with the letters
S II. s. only made his Identification
more difficult" said Mr.. Chaffee
