Pick Up New Road Again.

When the odometer of the machine
registered 1871 miles We again picked
up the new macadam. which continued
into Olney. 1873 miles. At this point
We turned sharply TO the left, leaving
the veivet-like highway behind us. The
road then became worn-out rutty
country road. in many places filled
with broken stones and rocks, which
made the going uncomfortable, to say
the least. About three miles west OF
Olney the macadam roadway from
Brookville merged into the road we
were travelling over, and from this
point on we found the conditions
slightly improved over that which we
had left in the rear of us.
At 23.4 miles we turned into the right

journey was begun. Turning to the
right, we took up with the concrete
road and continued on to Damascus.
At this point we varied the route TO
the left for Laytonsville, we avoided
the old dirt road and continued on
over the concrete road and entered the
National Capital via the Rockville
pike. About five miles south of Da-
mascus the front tire again went to
the bad. delaying us almost half an
hour this time. Repairs were made
as quickly as possible. and after run
of several miles left the concrete road
and motored over the mile of dirt

once more. we soon arrived at Cal

Frederick avenue and down the pike

amusing time on arriving at Bethesda

Jefferson was the next town passed
through en- route, the mileage being

miles west of Jefferson we passed
through covered bridge over Catoctin

up a steep grade and lay among the
farm lands in ribbon-like effect. We
soon negotiated the stiff grade, how
ever. and within a short space of time
were entering the village of Petersville.

Ferry Road Worn Out.

We had not gotten very far from the
outskirts of Frederick when we were
confronted with a sign on the side of
the road which read Road closed"
and a warning that those using the
road did SO at their own risk. We soon
discovered the reason for the sign. for
the road was found to be in deplora-
BILE condition. The traffic had been so
heavy that the road was worn full of
holes. Several carloads of crushed
stone were elevated OH tracks and
were being dumped into wagons which
were engaged in hauling the material
further up the road in the direction of
Jefferson.
The road, however. was found to be
very wide and we decided to run the
risk. Much to our surprise we only
found less than a mile of the road ac-
tually torn up for construction work at
time and consequently had no trouble
in negotiating the detour alongside the
road being repaired After passing the
stretch under construction we motored

has discovered that feeding pigs on
snakes imparts a delicious flavor to
the pork. Richards farm is in the
wooded region between Roselle and

Reichard determined to eliminate

pork had gained a peculiarly rich,
gamy flavor, and the restaurant pro-
prietor contracted with Reichard fo1
all the pork he could raise.
The growing scarcity of snakes has
forced Reichard to search for substi-

conductors and porters, fve-year-old
Elmer Gardiner, Jr., arrived here re-
Gently and has been busy holding re-
ceptions and telling his story at the
home of his grandmother, Mrs. Henry
Amman.
The boys father left his home in
Los Angeles early in the summer to
investigate new venture in the east,
planning to send for his wife and SOD
nently in Connecticut. In his absence
his wife died, leaving the little boy
alone. The boys father telegraphed
$3.50 to a Los Angeles lawyer, intend
ing that this should be used for e.
mer's maintenance until it should be
decided whether Or not the boy should
come east to live with his grandmother.
The lawyer, noting that $3.50 would
be largely spent for the railroad fares
between Los Angeles and Hartford in
formed the surrogate he had received
money with which to send the boy to
Hartford, and the court signed the nee
essary papers
The first intimation the father and
grandmother had Of this turn Of af-
fairs was when newspapers told Of the
boys departure on his trip. This news
was confirmed the next day by a tele-
gram.
It was impossible to follow the train
movements, and the next heard from
Elmer was that he had arrived at
Springfield. Mass, and was placed
aboard the next train for Hartford.
He jumped into his fathers eager arms
and Immediately began a recital about
the wonderful sights he saw coming

Last February Mineral Point opened
splendid playhouse that had been fin

little city about $50, 900 and is worthy
creation for the use of one of the best
communities in southern Wisconsin,
So far the theatre part has been i'm
mensely popular with all the people.
There never has been move to make it
in any way exclusive. And the best Of
travelling companies go there, so that
Mineral Point people see the very best
of the drama.
