rem, Ohio, where we visited in the
home of DIR. Rupert Rogers, the hus-
band of Ruth Nethercut, formerly Of
Wauwatosa. Their three little chill
dren were Interesting specimens Of
Buckeyes" I saw no reason for their
apologizing for them in any way--and
they did not. In fact, the baby--Don-
na--is By all odds the sweetest girl
in that county.
Occasionally it becomes necessary
to tarry long enough in town to re-
new ones acquaintance with real
bath tub and hot water. So we re-
corded that Warren, Ohio, Is the place
where we laundried, etc. Some weeks
later when visiting in Lyme, Conn.,, we
learned that Warren, Ohio, was named
for Moses Warren Of Lyme, who died
in 1885, aged 73 years. He surveyed
the Euclid avenue section of Cleve-
land as well as Warren, Ohio.
We were nearing the eastern mar
gin of our map, so we purchased an
other section, took up our brake bands
little and pushed Gu directly east to
Sharon, Penn, where we dined with
our old friend Ralph Miles, brother Of
Mrs. DIR. Morehouse. From here on
we forcibly reminded that the rolling
prairies of the four previous states
had ended. We had suddenly entered
a country where the surface of the
earth is too large for the earth and
lies in folds and wrinkles, or stands
on edge to make it take up less room
and leave little space for farms.
Shale standing on edge indicating that
the ruggedness of the surface had
been caused by volcanic upheavals,
whereas the land this side of Pennsyl-
vania acquired its, shape Of surface
from glacial action and deposits and
subsequent water wearing.
In the afternoon we drove south To
Pittsburgh We wasted two hours
trying to negotiate the streets from
Pittsburgh to McKeesport, a distance
of ten miles as the crow flies; but we
did not go that way, SO our speedo-
meter said it was eighteen miles. That
made 1t too late to call ON the parties
we sought, So we inquired Of a police
for tourists camping ground and he
directed us to the Oval which proved
to be race track on the top of high
hill in a park in East Liberty, over
looking many miles of Pittsburgh SUBJ
urbs. Late that evening young men
from Carnegie Tech. were running on
the track preparatory to some college
track meet that was soon TO come off.
Early in the morning dozen eQues-
trians-men and ladies--tried out the
track, for they were also to enter a
contest there in few days. A park
policeman, interested in our unique
camp outfit, took occasion to point out
the places Of interest for miles around
--all the noted institutions and even
the residences Of some Of the million
aires. Very interesting but we just
had to pack up and get away. We
hunted up Mrs. Merrill and her daugh-
ter Edna (mother and sister of the
wife of our pastor, Rev. Davies). We
spent q good share Of the day with
them, while we had new brake Innings
put in and general grooming of the
fliyver preparatory TO going over the
top--of the Allegheny Mountains. So
it was late afternoon wien we left
McKeesport. We drove a few miles
northeast to East MeKeesport where
we picked up the Lincoln Highway.
This red, white and blue marker was
most welcome friend, for we had left
it away back in Indiana and had trav-
eled on country roads ever since, in
order to reach orr many friends. Six
ty-three miles of beautiful ups and
downs, but mostly up, brought US just
after sunset to the top Of range,
where was concrete monument with
bronze tablet on one side marked
County Of West Moorland," and on
the other County Of Somerset"
A few acres had been cleared right
here years before and there was a
logging road running in. We could
not have ordered a better camping
ground. We were now on high; but
we had come up on "low,' much Of the
way, and the driver was as tired as
the engine. The top Of the range was
delightfully."- cool and the air tasted so
clean. We slept the sleep Of the just.
Vegetation seemed to be about three
weeks behind what we had seen six
hours before. Naturally we presumed
we were far from human habitation,
yet did we hear, in the night, the
growing Of ROSTERS and the barking
Of dog, and early in the morning we
heard some one chopplng.
