CLIMBED TO WHITE ROCKS
Green Mountain Club Hike Monday
Evening.

The hike planned by the Green
Mountain club fer late afternoon Of
Memorial day came off as scheduled,
and joyous group of nineteen en-
thusiasts hit the trail for the White
Rocks Although it was about the
warmest day of the season, by the
time the hiAers reached the foot of the
mountain the. heat had begun to wane.
and as the trip was taken in a leisure
ly manner, the temperature was no
drawback to the full enjoyment of the
occasion.
Those who have not wandered
through the woods this spring can
hardly conceive the loveliness that
greets the eye on every hand Every
leaf and flower is brand new and the
birds are mad with joy of the spring.
AS the band of hikers journeyed along
the good mountain road that led up
and up, they found adjectiyes insult
ficient to express their appreciation of
the beauty all around them. Wild
azalia bordered the road, lading the
air with its sweetness. Lawrence
IGriswold was the first to discover the
shy beauty of the pink lady-slipper,
and rejoined the group after a detour
into the wodds, with handful of
these Fare quaint blooms. Later the
pitcher plant was added to the collec-
lection of unusual botanical speci.
mems.
The White Rocks were reached a
little before the sun went down, and a
tired but happy party perchHd on the
ledges to watch the sunset and feast
spread before them. Soon the fire
was built and coffee made and lunch
was welcome. finish to the climb
Although not a perfectly clear night
the moon furnished ample light for the
return trip, which was made without
hurry and with many short stops to
rest. Much credit is due to President
Wills White, the excursion committee
and helpers for the careful arrange
ment of the details of the trip, to in
sure the greatest comfort and enjoy
ment to all who participated. Ions
live the Green Mountain Club ant
many be its hikes.

STOPS AUTO SPEEDING
Greek Policemen Have Found Way
That Works,

Athens, May 2S.-Policemen Of
this city have an effective method of
curbing speeding autoists. Officers
posted along the principal streets
carry planks studded with long, sharp
nails. and when they see car ap-
preaching at rate they believe is ex
cessive they drop the plank in front
of the machine. If the car is speed
ing it cannot be stopped in time and
as result its tires are punctured; but
if the machine is proceeding at rea-
sonable pace it can be stopped before
the plank is reached.
The chief of police finds the system
is cheaper than maintaining motor
cycle squad and has the additional ad
vantage of making the capture of
speeders comparatively easy.

OF state his statement of expenses,
and as far as 1t can be seen from the

which provide that it should be gan

the etims read thus: May 3 cash, H.
Nelson Jackson $4,000; May 10, cash,

The statement was sworn to by Mrs.
Agnes Dover, assistant city clerk of
