my improvements Made on
the Backbone of the
Adirondacks

Lake Placid, y. u, June 12.-rp here
On the backbone of the A~dirondacks re-
turning so%journers who assemble annu-
ally for the summer months this season
WIN find numerous and gratifying i'm
movements, both out of doors and
within.
Connecting with the latest great mo-
Albany. Saratoga md Lake George,
makes the ascent of the eastern slope
of the mountains via Elizabetntown and
beautiful Wilmington Notch, passes
through this village and continues on
over the western slope to Malone. Og-
densburg and the Thousand Islands, are
now a number of improved roads which
make accessible to motorists portions of
the Adirondacks seldom If ever before
visited by automobile parties.
Points on the entire eastern slope Of
he mountains and in the Champlain
Valley are now so connected by a series
Of macadam and improved dirt roads as
to convert the whole area into a great
motor park. with Lake Placid as head
quarters. 1t would he difficult indeed
to find elsewhere in this or other coun-
tries a region so accessible to motorists,
combining at once such natural beauty
rs is to be found here.
Relatives and friends of members Of
the P%lattsburg training camps have
been quick to realize the advantages OF
this great playground of the people"
situated within a stones throw of the
training center Of the East. Platts-
burg Is connected with Lake Placid by
m a~ll-macadam road, a portion of which
is one of the links in the famous
Quebec-Miami highway. which con-
tinues from Plattsburgh to Montreal.
1t is certain there will be much enter
tanning this summer. and the camp
members will take an active part in the
social functions and sports of this never
idle resort.
Attractive Clubhouse
One of the centers OF Lake Placid's
outdoor life Is the attractive clubhouse
Of the Lake Placid Yacht club. of
which william r. Lyman, of Philadel-
phia, is commodore. Club members this
season have placed in commission sew
eral new fast powerboats and the races
are certain to be spirited. Although

best boats in Adirondack waters.
Clifford Eerbert, son of Victor Her

derived from visiting tourists. and many
times during the season. when its hotels
and boarding houses are fun to over
flowing. its citizens open the doors OF
their residences to the tourists. Cot
tage life in the vicinity of the village
is the largest and perhaps the liveliest
among the entire lake. During the
summer months it is estimated that the
population increases 500 per cent.
Lake George is noted for its deep
green water of great clearness. On a
calm day one can easily see every detail
of the bottom in twenty feet of water.
This Is due to the fact that the lake has
very little surface water. being fed al
most entirely by springs, whose great
est flow is during the month of June.
The night scenes at the head of the
lake arc quite an attraction, and are
enjoyed by the visitors here. many of
whom spend their entire evenings sit
ting in the Shepard Memorial Park, the
Fort William Henry grounds or in a
quiet little nook at Pine Point, watching

and interest in the ascent of this o u
tain has been increased by the fact that
a project is now being discussed to CON-
struCt an automobile road to its sum
init. 4S7l feet altitude. Eugene A.
Sundorlin. engineer of the pixies Peak
automobile road, thinks the project feas-
ible. From no other Adirondack peak
is there such a beautiful view as from
the summit of Mt. Whiteface.
The st. Lawrence River. Lake Cham
plain and sixty-fve other Adirondack
lakes are visible on a clear day. The
completion of a trail around LAX Placid
is another Improvement.
Lake Placid H. one of the best fish
ing waters in the entire Adirondack
region and the policy Of restocking 1t
IS adhered to each year. \ short time
ago 100. 900 brook trout and the same
number of AXE trout were planted In
the lake by +. Paul Stevens. The fish
now being brought in are all of un-
usual size. They are hungry after a
long winter beneath the ice and ARE
biting greedily.
Golf Courses Improved

the boats, Illuminated by their red,
green and white lights. Glide back and
forth across the surface of the placid
waters. The lake Is usually calm at
night. rejecting the many lights from
along the shore. The colored lights of
the Fort William Henry Hotels pergola,
the strains OF music floating out over
the water and the dimly lighted boats
gliding here and there all add to the
weird and enchanting aspect of the
scene.
Fishing in Lake George is good, in
spite of the lamentations of some of the
novices each year who have been smit-
ten with that terrible disease known
as ''fsherman's luck" Each year a large
toll of fish is taken from the lake by
those who are halfway proficient dis
ciples of Izaak Walton. and for the
expert who Is not satisfied with the
smaller game the deep waters of the
lake yield trout weighing as high as
twenty pounds with now and then an
exciting tussle with the gamiest fish in
American waters the landlocked salmon.
At the foot of the lake some of the
highest mountains are located. and
therefore it is natural that this is the
place one will find all the enthusiasts
of mountain climbing. one of the most
popular climbs is the one up Black
Mountain, The trail up this mountain
starts from Lake Georges beauty place,
Paradise Bay. 1t Is an all-day hike up
the mountain and back. and many par
ties climb it and camp over night on
the summit, watching the sun rise the
following morning. The good roads at
the head of the lake make automobiling
more popular than mountain climbing,
and many parties are formed during the
sumner months.
with the advent of the high-speed
boats one is not satisfied riding on the
waters of the lake unless he is In some
thing that will step along just a little
better than the other fellow. This has
led to the Introduction to Lake George
of about FIFTEEN boats of the same make
and specific Albany Hacker hydro
plane, making a speed of thirty-siX miles
per hour.

SCHOOLS OPENED
WITH INCREASES
OF ENROLMENT

With the ringing of the bells this
morning the fall school semester was
officially ushered in. Boys and girls
and little youngsters with their "mom-
mers," starting to school for the first
time, were seen happily on their way
to the buildings.
Some of the older boys-those who
have been continuous patrons of the
plunge" or the camps in the noun
tains-seemed loath to bid farewell to
vacation time, but in the main every
one was glad to be back in school
again.
The first days enrolment at the
various grammar schools indicates
that about 20 per cent of FL Centro's
annual vacationers are home again.
A total of 5S3 pupils were enrolled
by the grammar schools. Lincoln took
the lead with an enrolment Of 1888,
Mckinley was a close second with 1873,
the Wilson school was third with lat
pupils and the Booker T. Washington
last with 35 pupils. The city kinder
earten reported an enrolment of 60.
Supervising Principal NJ ID. Boucher
stated that this years enrolment was
a material gain over the first day of
last years school, which was Septem-
ber II, 1917.
There are five new teachers on the
grammar school staff this season-W

ing; Irminia Marshall, formerly of

signed to the First A class, and the
Misses Hart and Mccullough, at the

"War work, whenever and where
ever possible, will be continued the
same as last year, and it will be the
paramount purpose of the schools tc
