Good Roads Map.

The Automobile Club of Baltimore last
week sent out its Bulletin No. LOT and
with it revised map of the Good Roads
throughout the State. This map is val
liable to tourists travelling through Mary
land and into adjoining States. The
Bulletin gives the names of towns in the
State wherein speed traps exist, and
gives the following advice:
Members and friends can greatly as
sist US in our campaign by reducing their
speed to the local rate through towns
and villages throughout the State and
take precaution to call the attention of
all occupants of the car to your doing so,
and have them watch the speedometer
with you.
"Then, if you are arrested for exceed
ing the speed limit, you will have more
witnesses to testify for you than the
magistrate probably would have to test
ify against you.
"Should you receive notice by mail
from any of the town officials in the
State, imposing fine upon you and ask
ing for remittance to be sent them, and
same is signed by anyone other than a
Magistrate or Justice of the Peace,
ignore the notice.

In Our New School Building
More Pupils In High School
Than Ever Before.

Although an effort was made to open
our schools last Wednesday, September
9Th, as directed; it was found to be i'm
possible because of some delay in con-
struction. The students were, therefore,
given their books and directed to return
on Monday morning of this week. Mon
day morning, therefore, found busy
scene at the fine new building. There
has been an unusually heavy enrolment
for September, partly due, no doubt, to
the desire on the part of the scholars to
be enrolled in the new building. Monday
morning all the students were assembled
in the splendid new auditorium, there to
be instructed regarding regulations
necessary to be enforced in and about
the building. DR.. Kefauver, president
of the Board of Trustees, made an ad-
dress, calling upon the students to exer-
else especial care in keeping the building
neat and clearly, and instructing them
in certain sanitary requirements. Mr..
M. l.. Creager, another member of the
Board of Trustees, was present and made
some appropriate remarks, calling the
attention of the students of the great
honor that should be cherished by the
student body for the late Col. John R.
Rouzer, because of his heroine efforts in
securing this new building DR.. Heimer
was also present and was called upon to
open the work in the new building with
prayer.
There are at present eleven teachers
busy at work in the school giving earnest
and wholesome instruction to the 275
students there enrolled Three new
teachers have been added to the faculty
for the present year-Prof. A. NJ 1san-
ogle, Miss Barbara Wineman and Mr..
Jesse Poole. Mr.. Poole succeeds Mr..
Rice in the Commercial Department,
Miss Wineman has been placed at the
head of the Domestic Science Depart
nent, and Mr. Isanogle has been as
signed to duty also in the High school.
The enrolment in the High school is
dbouI seNehty-h'' hio'e '''"' S'Si ~
rolled in this department.
The High School now presents to our
students three courses-Academic, Eng
lish Scientific, and Commercial. There
are about two hundred students enrolled
in the first seven grades, the same being
taught by the same corps of teachers rs
last year.
A most cordial invitation is extended
to all patrons of the school, residents of
the town and vicinity, and visitors to
visit the splendid new school building
where they will be escorted from room
to room and be thereby enabled to be-
come acquainted with this new work in
our midst.

Held Up BY Footballs.

Frank Wise, of Buena Vista, was way
laid by two footpads Sunday night near
Highfeld, and robbed of $3.50 in cash and
a So check on Waynesboro bank.
Wise was walking on the tracks of the
Western Maryland Railway at a lonely
spot, when two men emerged from the
bushes and hailed him. One of the men
asked Wise for a match and while he
was reaching for the match the highway
men clutched him by the throat and de-
manded his money.
Wise struck the footpad a singing
blow and probably would have overpow-
cred him if the robber had not flashed a
gun in Wise's face and ordered him to
hold up his hands. Wise was obliged to
allow his assailants to rifle his pockets.
They took from him his pocketbook con-
tanning the money and check and warned
him not to make an cutlery on pain of
death.
They beat hasty retreat down the
track and were soon lost. 1t is supposed
they boarded train near Highfied.

WOman's Fitness For a Car.

'In my opinion, no woman should be
allowed to operate an automobile. In
the first place, she hasn't the strength,
and in the second place she is very apt
to lose her head Magistrate House.
The Editor of the Hagerstown Mail in
commenting on the above says:
doubtless women who play golf and
polo, and hosts of others, possess the
physicalq ualifca tons. AS for the head
are the general run of women who drive
their own cars more deficient in this re-
quisite of safe motoring than the multi
tudes of small boys to whom cars are in
trusted at all hours of the day and night?
There is not the slightest likelihood
that any sex line be drawn in automobile
operation. But if women are incompe-
tent to run motor cars on the ground
specified by the Magistrate, many men
are equally So 1t is matter of COM
mon observation that women are less
reckless on the road and more regardful
of the rights of other drivers than men.
The roadhogs and the joyriders are not
women.
"But not all women, any more than all
men, are tempermentally qualified to
drive automobiles. The question is one
of individual fitness, not of sex. Per-
haps as the regulation of motor-car driv-
ing becomes more stringent the test of
mental aptitude in both sexes will be rig
idly applied in examinations for license. "

Railroad Picnic.
Big Time In Store For w. M.
Employees.

On Saturday of this week the We' tern
Maryland Railroad will give the EN-
ployees of the Eastern Division picnic,
the same to be held on the Fair Grounds
at Hagerstown.
Included in the list of invited guests is
every person in the employ of the road
from President Gray down to those do
ing the lowest grade of work. Men hav-
ing no wives are privileged to take their
sweethearts and men with families can
take every member thereof all expense
of transportation and meals to be at the
expense of the company.
There will be all kinds of sports on
the Fair Grounds, prizes to be awarded
t. successful contestants.
For some time past railroad men of
this vicinity have been talking about this
picnic and if fair weather prevails on
that day, the management expects 5000
or more to attend. I
Mr.. j. j. Gibbons of the Pcn-Mar hotel
has charge of the eats ard has placed an
order for 80, 600 rolls with Hagerstown
bakery. Coffee will be made by the
barrel, hams boiled by the dozen for
sandwiches, and 500 gallons of ice cream
dispensed as cooler if the weather is
as warm as it has been the past few
days.
The occasion will inaugurate a scheme
of family sociability between company
and employees that will become perma'
nent annual event and will surely accom-
pish its purpose not only of having a
good time once year but of uniting all
hands in closer bond of fellowship and
mutual interest so necessary to success
full management of large enterprises,
where employees are so>widely scattered

These rooms were his home. For the

his trade, his eyesight having failed him.
Since April LIST he has been caring for
