Frosty Nights And Rain
Has Effect on Roads

Evidently there will be no skating
or sliding for Waterville children this
Thanksgiving for even though each
day brings winter near on the calen-
der the warm, Indian summer days
still remain. People going away
over the holiday season yesterday
. were able to travel in comfort. Au-
toists who stayed on the macadam
roads experienced no difficulty but
those who attempted. to navigate
through the country found the way
beset with many difficulties.
But few weeks ago travelling in
the heart of Maine was excellent.
Then the frosty nights began to have
their effect on the roads. Up to a
week ago the travelling on country
roads was very good for this time of
year and then last Saturday and SUM-
day came a heavy rain storm. The
result Is that country roads in many
instances are nearly impossible. The
little frost that was in the road sur
face came out and that hard surface
made by weeks of dry weather and
the pounding of thousands of auto
mobiles was gone. The automobiles
that had done such efficient work on
the road surface now are grinding 1t
into a morass. Cars coming down
from the big woods are covered with
mud and more than one traveller can
tell doleful tales of being hauled out
of the mud.
One hunter who went up through
Skowhegan to Madison and beyond
said that he met man in Skowhe-
gan who had just driven through
from Madison. This mans earnest
advise was to take some other road
beside the main one between Madi-
son and Skowhegan as he declared
that his car was hauled out of one
mud hole and he had the pleasure of
seeing two other cars hauled out Of
the same hole. This hunter took
another road from Skowhegan to
Madison and went through without
chains but he said the mud was hub
deep in many cases. The outside of
his car was mute evidence that he
spoke the truth.

Careless Methods
Medical Colleges
Barred by Probe

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 28.--Describ-
ing conditions as "frightful" in the
Kansas City University of Physicians
and Surgeons, the Kansas City Col
lege of Medicine and Surgery and
the st. Louis College of Physicians
and Surgeons, the State Board of
Health today announced that evil
dence gathered in q recent survey
would be presented to the attorney
general for action. The survey fol-
lowed an expose of an alleged ring
which is said to have sold spurious
medical diplomas.
The survey was made by Doctor
F. c. Waite of Western Reserve Uni
versity, Cleveland.
His report stated that the records
of these three institutions are SO
incomplete and carelessly kept that
no graduate would be able, at some
future time, to ascertain what his
standing had been at the time OF
graduation.
The report further asserted that It
was not the policy of these colleges
to investigate thoroughly the claims
of students as TO their credits for
entry, and consequently many stu
dents entered who would not have
been accepted by reputable school
or one making a serious endeavor to
comply with the law or the demands
on public welfare"

tural Products Exposition. Among
these were the members of the Ohio
Male Quartet. After viewing the
different displays they came to the
booth occupied by Mr.. Greeley. The
local merchant in question, knowing
the noted singers and being per-
scnal friend .of@the well known honey
man. introduced them. Mr.. Greeley
ing acquainted and presented each
vocalist with a jar of his strained
honey. To the surprise Of everyone
in the hall. the Quartet, holding the
four Jars Of honey In hand began
singing the old time hymn, There's
Honey In The Rock for YOU"
Mr.. Greeley was Immensely pleas
ed with this honor and regards this
incident as very profitable to his
business. He has been resident In
Clinton all Of his life.
