TOURISTS WILD TRIP n.
 CANAAN TO NORFOLK
Norfolk Daily Prune Points Follow ing Interesting Article Dealing
 With State Roads

MT. and Mrs. Oscar P. Foozle, Master Basil Foozle and the Misses Chloe and Daphne Foozle, who, with their chauffeur, footman, governess, valet and maid, are making an exten- sive tour in their Ford limousine, were camped last night in beautiful situation near the Blackberry River, below Dodd'sy garage. ... #..\, . MT. Foozle is prominent chirop- odist of Canaan and has travelled ex- tensively. He was putting up the family tent, last night, when lhe West Norfolk correspondent of the Daily Prune asked him for a few words about his trip.
 "eThe trip from East Canaan to West Norfolk has taken forty-three days" he said. "One can see that there were roads there long ago, but they are now only difnly traceable. Tn the entire distance we did not meet vehicles of any kind nor see q human being or ,habitation. It was just one great, Fawe-inspiring waste of sage-brush and alkali, and there was a time when~the going was so rough that never left the bridge for forty-eight hours.
 ''It was gruelling experience, and rather than go through it again, we have decided to push on and get back to Canaan by making circuit of the globe, crossing France, Germany, Russia, Siberia, Manchuria and China, and so on to Canaan by way of San Francisco and Chicago" . The party was received this morn ing on the steps of the City Hall by His Honor the Mayor, who gave MT. Foozle the freedom of the city and handed him letters to be delivered respectively to the Mayor of Win sted, the Commissioner of Motor Ve- hicles at Hartford, Harry Parmalee at New Haven, the Prince of Wales, whose visit to Norfolk is still pleas antly remembered, the President of France, the President. of Germany and Messrs. Lenine and Trotzky. The two last mentioned jazz experts are to be invited to Norfolk to hear the Country Clubs amateur orches- tra, which, it is thought, can give them few pointers.
 MT. Foczle's house-fag was run up on the Ford immediately following the ceremony, and after back-fring a salute of twenty-one explosions in the muffler, in honor of our city, he got under way in the direction of the Winsted- detour.

! HORSES PERISl IN DIS-
 ASTROUS LAkEWLLE FIRE
Barn Owned by w. 5. Halliwell . Is Entirely Destroyed by
 Flames
FIRE COMPANIES HELPLESS
Sharon and Millertop Fire Companies Assist Lakeville, But
 Are Helpless

A serious blaze occurred in the western part of the town of Lake vile about 9:3O Saturday evening which threatened for time to spread to nearby dwellings. Fire started Tn the large modern barn, owned by w. s. HalIiwell, and which had been built only two years. Two theories are held as to its origin: one that 1t was spontaneous combustion and the other that a spark from passing train ignited the hay through one of the open windows .,..... ...-=e-
 When discovered the fire had gained considerable headway. Lake vile Hose company responded to an alarm and after exhausting their supply of chemical, were forced to practically stand by and protect nearby buildings. Hose Companies from Millerton, N. Y. and Sharon were also called, but the service which they were able to render was neglible. It is reported that call was also sent to this town for assist ance, but no word being rec eived from Lakeville Hose Company our
 
 fire fighters did not respond.
 Besides the building, which it. is estimated was worth about $1O,OOO, five valuable horses and 30 tons of hay were destroyed. It is reported that two of the horses were thoro- bred stallions valued at $15,OOO and $5,OOO. Several wagons, corncrl1b and some small tools, etc., were also lost in the blaze. Of such immense proportions was the blaze that a freight train was forced to wait until it had subsided. J
 The breeze carried the sparks from the burning building in the direction of E. o. Wagner's house and fear was held that the roof would be ignited. Bucket brigades were formed to keep the roof soaked with water and no damage resulted.

FAMOUS TURTLE FOUND
 TO BE A BOOTLEGGER
John Rodemeyer Makes Discovery. .f.. While Sojourning at
 Twin Doors

Editor John Rodemeyer, who spent two weeks with friends in town re- gently, made an amazing discovery during his sojourn here. We'll let John tell it in his own way, as fol- lows:
 "The "homing" instinct of the turtle is evidently we'll known to the bootlegging fraternity of western Litchfeld county, according to evi- dence come upon by accident, by Professor Walter King Stone and Professor Bristow Adams of Cornell University, while hiking over the fields near "Twin Doors," the sum- mer home of Professor Stone, one day last week.
 About mile west of Twin Doors they were surprised to meet up with large turtle lying on its back in the mouth of a big woodchuck hole, it's position plainly showing that it had approached the hole from the upper side and toppled over the edge, land ing upside down directly in MT. w. Chuck's doorway.
 "The turtle was extricated by, the two Professors and put upon its feet then it was discovered that there was round hole, about three-quarters of an inch in diameter, evidently bored with an auger, in the center of it's shell, and further examination re- suited in an interesting and aston ishing disclosure.
 "The reptile was the self-same bird that was found on Stones do- main about a year ago-a veritable and veteran autograph and mono gram album, probably not less than 100 years old, and bearing on his shell scores of carved initials and dates, many overgrown and practi- cally obliterated, but some quite recently acquired, including "W. K. S., 1921," Professor Stone having inscribed it last year.
 "The startling feature, however, was the fact that the edge of the hole in the shell was apparently lined with thin brown rubber, which proved to be the smouth of a hot-water bottle that had been, skillfully crowded through the orifce and carefully manipulated to fit the space beneath the upper shell-a process which Professor Adams explained was per fectly feasible from the fact that the turtle is a cold-blooded creature capable of being emaciated by star vation, to a point where it would be easy to provide space within it's shell, for the operation described an operation which would not incon- venience it to any degree in attain- ing its normal condition of corporosity

Fire in Canaan Valley

At about 1:3O on Wednesday morning the place in Canaan Valley known as the Charles Thompson place, now owned by Louis Mark ham was burned to the ground.
 No one was living in the house at the time but it had been rented to city people up until Saturday of last week, when it was vacated. Nothing was in the house except one or two beds.
 The fire was watched without call ing the Fire Department, until it was. ascertained that it would not spread to the house across the street, in which MT. Markham and family, who are in New York at present, live

WHY LEGION ADOPTED
DAISY ASITS flower
(By Associated PressD

Indianapolis, End, May Is
The little white daisy OF the
american Legion is not even Il
Sind cousin of the English daisy
Of poetic tradition, writes Waiter
Pritchard Eaton, author OF an ar
ticle for the Legion, announced
by national headquarters of the
organization.
The American daisy was adopt
ed by the Legion as its official
flower after three years of dis
cusSion.
The poppy OF Flanders, a house
hold word throughout America,
was the first choice. They say
these peoples grow in fields
where blood is shed. They flour
ish in the English wheathelds
about Hastings, where William
the Conqueror beat Harold OF
England about nine hundred
years ago in the last conquet OF
England. They cover the coun-
tryside in Flanders, where the
English suffered their severest
losses during the world war
There was no more than the
merest scattering of poppies il
the Argonne and about St. Mihiel
where the American doughboys
beat back the Germans.
Moreover this poppy is not q
native of America. Alter its
adoption by the Legion it was
brought into the country in CON
siderable quantity and then some
experts put out the information
that it was likely to spread SC
fast as to become a pest. The
i1arrassed American farmer came
forward with a protest at once
announcing to all the world thai
he already had troubles aplenty
with raising wheat for a falling
market, let alone peoples.
Therefore the Legion in its
third national convention last fal
chose the American daisy for it.
emblem. The choice has me-
wide approval. 1t is a perennial
and thrives under almost any cor
ditions. Children and top ser
geants love it. In quantity, il
affords a glorious mass of lively
beauty that cheers the heart.
Meanwhile the poppy of more
sombre memories has by nc
means been forgotten. 1t has
been adopted by the American
American Legion Auxiliary as
memorial flower Of the world
war. The crimson of sacrifice
that stains its petals will serve
as long reminder of the strug-
gle and the victory.

The Daugheryt-Felder- ALorse
scandal which follows fast after
the Fall-Denby- Sinclair Naval
Oil scandal, while the odor Of the
Nat Goldstein scandal is still
strong in the public's nostrils, has
resulted in a suggestion that Al
torney General Daugherty resign
from the cabinet, and a demand
from another quarter that Con
gress make a searching and i'm
partial investigation Of the
charges against the Attorney
General.
While Harry M. DaugIerty's
connection with the Morse case
has long been a matter of history
and newspaper comment, the do
cumentary evidence Of the details
OF this connection together with
the successful efforts to release
Morse from the penitentiary are
made public for the first time by
publications in the Washington
ID. G. News and by their inser-
tons in the Congressional Record
by Senator CaraWay OF Arkansas.
This expose is given unusual
Importance by the charge that

ing to his own letters associated

to be the attorney for the, Bosch
Magnetic Company, has attempt

the Bosch Magnetic case pending
before the Department Of Justice
at the suggestion of Attorney
General. 1t is upon this charge
made by Captain II. L. Scaife, the
investigator, and Representative
Roy L. Woodruff, republican, OF
Michigan, that Senator Caraway
bases his suggestion that the At
tcrney General resign and upon
which demands for an investiga-
ton are made in the press.
TO what extent the administra-
