pleted the beautiful decorations. Many
unique features made the occasion one
OF distinctive interest and pleasure
Shamrocks were pasaed, having on
one side St. Patrick'S birthday, March
II. On the other side were written
Irish jokes which caused much merri-
ment as they were read aloud by the
guests. Each one was given a sealed
envelope containing different parts of
a shamrock and the ingenuity of the
guests was taxed in getting the parts
properly placed to form perfect
shamrock and this puzzle proved very
entertaining. Martha Rauch, presi-
dent of the class, was in charge of the
short program. The subject of most
inspiring talk by Mrs. Lowrey was
THE Good Shepherd" and following
this she sang very impressively, THE
Ninety and Nine" An unusually
happy social hour was spent by these
young girls and their teachers. The
little hostess mother assisted in enter
tanning. The St. Patrick colors were
prettily carried out in the delicious
refreshments of sandwiches and cakes
in white and green with fruit punch.

Legion, was we'll represented III
Americas on Thursday night at an
elaborate barbecue given the Albany
post by the John Mathis post OF
Americus as the result OF a member
ship contest in which the Albany le-
gionnaires were viCtOrs.
AT a meeting of the Dawson post
early in the year a number OF Ameri-
Gus and Albany legionnaires were
present, and one Of the visiting posts
challenged the other visiting post to
a membership drive, naming as the
wager a big feed" of some descrlp-
ton, the place to be named at the
close of the contest and the date to
be decided upon by the losing post,
whose duty it would be to prepare
the spread. AS a result OF the con-
test Albany was winner with an en-
rollment Of about 200 legionnaires,
while Americas come under the 200
mark and fell for the feed" At the
time the challenge was made the two
visiting posts voted to invite the Daw-
son post to attend the affair.
Prior to the elaborate spread pre-
pared by the Sumter county legion
naires brief program was rendered.

greatly enjoyed. Former State Com
mander James E. Fort welcomed the
visiting post to Americas in behalf
of the legion post of that city. Fol
lowing Mr.. Fort, Commander John
Toe West of the Albany post made an
interesting talk, and told how he won
over Americas in the contest and
touched several important phases OF
legion work. Congressman Charles X
Crisp then addressed the assembly
He assured the ex-serv1ce men OF his
desire to aid them in every way
worth while, and stated that he was
for the American Legion and that for
which it stands. Following Mr.. Crisp's
address Sam Brown Lippett, popular
Young attorney of Albany and mem
Der Of the post from his city, made
brief talk in which he assured Judge
Crisp that any service he might rem
der the legion would be highly APP
preciated. Mr. Roddenberry, OF Al
bany, followed Mr.. Lippett with a
few remarks.
Last, but by no means least, was
the elaborate spread OF barbecue
which was enjoyed HllILleHSely ny 0N-
cry one in attendance, many OF whom
would like to see the feast duplicated
at some future date. This feature Of
the affair was we'll arranged in detail

Highway Is Built
Of Glass in, Wyoming
A Historic Achievement in Highway
Construction. Mountain Exploded.

A Historic Achievement in Highway
Construction. Mountain Exploded.
"Of all the curious roads in creation
the strangest is the glass road running
along the base of Obsidian Cliff on
the highway between Roaring Noun
tain and Golden Gate. Wyoming, in
the Yellowstone National Park, IL
miles south of Mammoth H o t
Springs" writes George H. Dacy, in
St. Nicholas. "When the route of this
road was originally mapped out the
government engineers did not know
that they would have to devise a nov
ell method Of cutting down part OF a
mountain of volcanic glass in order to
provide the necessary path for the
roadway. Obsidian Cliff, approximate
w $50 feet high and about 1000 feet
in width, was along the line where
the road was to run. In the bright
sunlight Obsidian Cliff glistens like a
diamond. The glass is jet black and
quite opaque, with occasional streaks
of red and yellow.
Resisted Dynamite.
THE federal roadbuilders first tried
out all kinds Of giant blasting pow
ders and heavy charges of dynamite.
These expedients failed. The glass
wall was as resistive to such attacks
as armored and explosion-proof met
al. About discouraged and thinking
that they would have to change the
route of the road, the engineers final
w decided to test out the suggestion
Of one of the surveyors, who had for
merly served as a glass-blower and
who believed that the glass mountain
could be disintegrated by heating it
to a high temperature and then spray
ing it with water.
Great piles of dry logs were spread
along the line of the highways, and
huge bonfres were ignited and kept
burning for approximately 50 hours
The confagration-one of the most
notable ever set off in the Rocky
Mountain states-extended over a
stretch of Glass Mountain three-quar-
tiers of a mile long. Then when the
road constructionists figured that the
right temperature had been attained
they let the fire go out and sprayed
the sides of the glass cliff with ice
cold mountain water pumped from
the neighboring river.
Mountain Exploded.
THE mountain exploded in huge
chunks. For miles around the noise
was deafening. 1t sounded like the
biggest Fourth of July celebration
ever held in Wyoming. When all the
smoke had cleared away that portion
of the cliff and towering plateau
which had blocked the road-making
operations had disappeared.
The plan was complete success.
1t is historical among modern road
building achievements. Instead of
wasting the great mass of glass debris
the material was almost as hard as
flint and admirably adapted as road
base material-the engineers used it
in building the permanent highway.
The temperature changes in that lati-
tude annually induce considerable
weathering and chipping from the
glass mountain. All this material
Slides down over the road surface and,
being ground down by the stream of
traffic that travels over it, keeps the
suface in condition"
