WANT BANK AT SUMMIT

A movement to start bank at Blue
Ridge Summit near the Frederick anG
Washington county line has bee
launched by certain business men OF
the vicinity, including a number OF
Baltimoreans who have homes at the
resort during the summer, and meet
ing for the purpose of starting the
preliminary organization was held
Friday evening. DR.. Stanley, of Bal
timore presided over the meeting and
explained the project.
1t is proposed that bank be formed
at the mountain resort and that a
special building to house it be built
While the bank would cater to the
summer residents, it would be by no
means only summer institution, but
would be expected to take it's place as
one of the vital elements of the noun
tain district and in the winter time
would function as we'll as in the sum-
mer. 1t is understood that plans al
ready laid have partially outlined the
temporary organization which will be
effected.

HISTORIC REMAINS FOUND

Two bones of the human body and
two buttons unearthed on the Mount
Braddock farm, near the National
highway above Grantsville, Md, recall
incidents of the engagement between
General Edward Braddock's English
forces and the Indians in that vicinity
in the French and Indian war; 1t is
believed the lonesome from the up
per arm and the other>from the Shout
der-were those of an English soldier
who fell in battle.
The bones and buttons were dug up
by Dale Messenger, son of R. S. Mes
senger, who is cultivating part of Mt.
Braddock farm. On one of the but
tons is engraving which would indi-
cate that they were once part of a
British uniform. The other is of the
same size with no distinguishing
marks. A few years ago numerous
shots of one and two pounds were I'M
earthed on this farm.

CANCELS TRIP

Senator Joseph I. France, who was
scheduled to spend Monday campaign
ing in this county, sent word last Fri
day afternoon that he would be unable
to keep his engagement owing to the
Importance of attending the sessions
of the Senate that day.
He expressed keen disappointment
over not being able to make the tour
He added that Immediately after the
Soldiers Bonus bill had been disposed
of he would spend a day in Frederick
county as had been arranged. 1t is
probable that he may make the trip
the latter part of the week.
The itinerary mapped out for him
will not be changed. This includes a
short stay at Jefferson, Brunswick,
Middletown, Burkittsville, Walkers
vile, Woodsboro, Creagerstown, EN-
mitsburg, Thurmont and Lewistown.
He will remain at Emmitsburg and
Thurmont long enough to deliver short
addresses.

BANDED BIRDS

An unusual type of return for a
banded bird was recently sent in to the
U. S. Department of Agriculture from
Corning, Ohio. On June 20 band
was taken from the stomach of a
black snake which had been placed on
a fledgling cat-bird five days before by
the same person who found it.
A common tern banded as fiedg-
ling at Brigantine, N. j., August 10,
1920, holds one of the long-distance
records for this species. 1t was reta-
ken on May 20, 1922, at Paria Bay,
Blanchisseuse, Trinidad. Another
common tern on record was banded as
a nesting on the coast of Maine and
recovered four years later in the delta
of the Niger River, on the west coast
of Africa.

THuRMoNT 1s; JEFFERSON s

In the game with Jefferson on Sat-
urday the Thurmont boys used the
first two innings as a kind of warm
up period. Then they played ball,
taking everything that came their
way; those that didn't come their way
they went after and got. That same
kind of playing will win the Bruins
wick game next Saturday,
In the first inning it looked as tho
Jefferson had set out to have their
own way. The second, third and
fourth men to bat made clean hits;
the sixth man made another hit, but
E. Creeger put sudden stop to their
fun when he grabbed a grounder and
made a perfect throw to first, making
the third out. Four runs crossed the
plate this inning but only the first was
earned, two coming in when E. KEEL
baugh missed fly in hilly right field
and Ecker dropped the ball letting the
fourth run in. Jefferson made nc
more hits until the sixth inning for the
simple reason that Eaton had warmed
up in that first inning and was pitch
ing bah after the second opened. In
the sixth Huffer hit a home run in
deep center making the only other run
In the eighth E. Creeger stopped one
that looked like it was going for two
or three bases and caught the runner
at first. In the ninth he got another
speedy one and made double play
out of it. r. Creeger made sensa-
tional double play unassisted.
E. Creeger led Thurmont In batting
by getting four out of five times up.
j. Hines and O. Rice each robbed Bire-
ly of hit by rather sensational and
unexpected catches. E. Creeger and
J. Creeger each marked themselves up
with home run to deep left field.

THE CREST OF THE

SIERRA NEVADA
The highest point in the United
States, Mt. Whitney, Is not an isolated
mountain peak like Mt. Shasta or Mt.
Rainier, which are old volcanoes, but
is a summit in the great tilted block
of the earth's crust, forming Califor-
MAS sawtooth range, the Sierra Ne
vada.
One stormy day early in the seven
ties the first Director of the Geolog-
ical Survey, Clarence King, laborious-
ly, amid cloud and fog, climbed to the
top of Mt. Whitney, as he supposed,
only to find, long afterward, that he
had really climbed neighboring peak.
BY second journey, however, made
two years later on a clear day, he
reached the summit of the true Mt.
Whitney. 1.-THE Sierra here" says
Mr.. King, "is bold wall with an al
most perpendicular front of about 5000
feet, which is crowned by sharp tur-
rets having a tendency to lean out
over the eastern gulf. These are prop
erly the crests Of great riblike but
tresses which jut from the general
surface of the granite front. Mt.
Whitney itself springs up and out like
the sharp prov of an ocean steamer.
Southwark along the summit is a re-
gion of confused rough-hewn granite
obelisks and towers, all remarkable
for the deep SCATTERING to which the
rock has been subjected. It is a re
gion which may even yet suffer con-
siderable perceptible change, since a
single winters frost and snow must
dislodge numberless blocks from the
crests and TANKS of the whole group.
Indeed, at the time Of my visit, nota-
bly, the period of least snow and frost,
we often heard the sharp rattle of
falling debris"
The top of Mt. Whitney stands
14,501 feet above sea level. Among
mountains of slightly less height, none
of them more than six miles distant
from Mt. Whitney, are Mt. Russells
14,19O feet; Mt Williamson 14,384
feet; Mt. Muir 14,025 feet; Mt. Lang
ley 1902 feet; Mt. Barnard 14,0O3
feet; and Mt. Tyndall 14,025 feet.

If THEY COULD COME BACK

In an old dictionary we found an
editorial under the above caption, clip
ped from the Frederick Examiner in
the year 1880.
1t says if the people who lived in
the United States in 1880 could come
back and see the progress and devel-
opment the country had made in halt
a century it would be wonderful rev.
elation to them and they would not
believe it was the same country they
knew in 1880.
1t speaks of the development of the
country especially west of the Ohio
river, the increase in population, the
growth of the cities, the wonderful
discoveries and inventions, the great
er comforts and conveniences in the
homes and many other changes and
developments that marked the fifty
years from 1880 to 1880.
Great as the progress and achieve
ment during that period, which mark
ed the coming of the steam engine for
transportation both on land and water
the telegraph and many other wonder
full inventions and developments we
believe the>42 years from 1880 to 1922
have shown greater progress and
achievement and if the people who
lived in the United States to and prior
to 1880 could come back their wonder
and establishment would equal if not
surpass that of~the ones the old edito-
rial speaks Of.
Some Of the many things that-would
fill them with amazement would be the
automobile, the wireless the radio, the
talking machine, the linotype, the
marvellous uses of electricity, the SO
story sky scraper, the tractor, the air
ships, the submarine, the miles Of con-
crete road, the cost of government,
municipal, county, state and national,
the tax rate, Westminster without a
saloon, the number of divorces, the
short skirts, and scores Of other
changed conditions and wonderful in
ventions that were not known, thought
of, or even dreamed of in 1880.-West-
minister Times.
