AUTO TO MT. MANSFIELD
Daily Trips Made to Highest Noun
tain in Vermont With Passengers
arll Freight

The first automobile to be operated
successfully on Mt. Mansfield, the
highest mountain in the state of YER
mont, has recently been installed by
w. M. Adams of Stowe, same being
one of the famoue Oldsmobile Econo-
my trucks with passenger and freight
body, to operate twice daily between
the summit of Mt. Mansfield and the
town of Stowe. This mountain is
4457 feet above sea level and is Access
sible by a winding road which has
grades as heavy as forty per cent,
sometimes a half mile in length, ris-
ing 5000 feet in five miles. This part
of Vermont has some of the finest
scenery in North America, including
the famous Smugglers Notch with it's
new state highway, made possible by
the untiring efforts of E. A. Small N /,
representative of the town of Morris
town, the state making an appropria-
ton Of fifty thousand dollars for this
road. This highway is practically
completed and will connect with what
will eventually be known as the
Ethan Allen Trail, going from Nor
risville through the famous Snug
glers Notch to Burlington, connecting
there with the roads through to the
Adirondacks and south through the
Green Mountains, connecting at
Morrisville with the state highway
going directly through the beautiful
towns Of Hardwick and St. Johnsbury
to Breton Woods, N. H., and the
White Mountains.
A brief description of the initial
trip of this Oldsmobile Economy
truck may be of interest to readers.
The truck was equipped with cab and
stills only and there was placed there
on six bales of hay, weighing in the
aggregate 925 pounds. Eight people
including the owner of the truck, w.
M. Adams, and the driver, H. B.
Blossom, boarded the truck, making
a total weight Of 1850 pounds and
started on their way. The first trip
was made to the top Of the noun
ain in exactly 60 minutes, there be-
ing no part of the grade that could
be successfully operated in other than
low gear and portions of it were so
steep that the passengers were OBJ
liged to cling to the truck or lose
their equilibrium. June 18th was a
very hot day, and, although running
the motor in low gear continuously, it
was stopped but once during the
climb and obliged to replace only one
and half quarts of water, showing
the wonderful cooling propensity of
this truck. The large cord tires
gripped the road firmly, making an
ideal equipment for this mountain
work, the road being of gravel and
rocky. \
The light horse-drawn vehicles
have gone forever on this particular
trip. 1t used to require two and a
half hours to negotiate this grade
with pair of horses attached to
light wagon, carrying only four pas
sengers, which makes the trip very
tedious. Now, however, person
may alight from the trolleys at
Stowe and be on top of Mt. Mansfield
in one hour and thirty minutes, a
distance, including the mountain
climb, of thirteen miles through the
Stowe valley. This trip
will make an ideal tour for nature
lovers and should be included in the
itinerary Of all New England tour
lists.

Time to Make "Noggins.'

Dan Beard says that this is the time
of year to get hurls from trees with
which TO make "noggins." Upon the
trunks of naples, oaks, birches and
cherries are frequently found large
swellings which can be detached by
scouts and followed out for the pur-
pose of making drinking cups or
TASKS. Dan says that making "nog-
gins is not easy work and that is the
reason the scouts value them so highly
when they are completed. From the
pine knots which one finds in rotted
pine stump TASKS can be made to be
afterwards fitted with a stopper and
finished off with sandpaper and var
nish. Napkin rings can also be made
from some of the large burls. A little
experiment has been made at local
headquarters in the making of noggins
and it has been found that chestnut
trees occasionally have bnrls suitable
for this work. Uncle Dan carries
around with him "noggin" which
he made and which he uses for a
drinking cup. He explains that you
cannot break it when you sit on it and
if you drop it in the water it will al
ways float; this indeed seems reason
able -

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and youthful with a simple mixture
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray, streak
ed and faded hair is grandmother 8 reel
pc. and folks are again using it to keep
their hair a good even color, which is
quite sensible, as we are living in an age
when a.youthful appearance is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don t have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All drug
stores sell the ready-to-use product. i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dients. called "Wyeth 8 Sage and Sui
phur Compound. - 1t is very popular
because nobody can discover it has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few appli-
cations, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive.--Adv.
