"UNCLE JOE" IN
new "PEP' stunt
Hikes Like Boy Scout on Trip
Through Dismal
Swamp.

Although he has passed the fourscore
mark, Uncle joe Cannon was able to
convince younger and more active men,
bers of the House yesterday that he still
retains lots of the old pep"
He was in his seat in the House de-
spite the blistering temperature and his
return from trip to the North Carolina
Sounds that used up most of his COL

and embarked on the army engineers

Swamp Canal and the Pasquotank River
route to AlbermaTle Sound, returning Lv
way of the North River and the new gov
ernment Chesapeake Canal.
Uncle Joe made the trip up the dismal
swamp feeder to Lake Drummond, hoof-
ing it through the deep underbrush of
that weird region like a boy scout on A
hike.
After the party came out of the swamp,
its interest in inland waterways height
ened to an unusual degree, the prowess
OF the veteran legislator was again put
to the test. The party reached Elizabeth
City, North Carolina, but in order to
complete the inspection or the so-called
North Carolina Cut in time to arrive in
Washington yesterday. was obliged to
press on to Albermarle Sound and there
anchor over night.
There were four good berths on the
boat but there were ten men in the
party. Every one OF the ten insisted

And wrapping himself in an army
blanket, he picked out a place on the
planks. gazed up at the sky and was soon
fast asleep.
