So everybody was up early the
next morning, and after breakfast we
started taking down the tents, and
preparing to leave. 1t was about ten
a. m. hen we got through. All the
cars thai took the boys out came to
take them home, and it was about
IL a. m. when we landed in Hanna.
All the boys enjoyed the time at
camp, and this proved very valuable
as the boys were given every oppor-
tunity to help them pass some of their
tests. During the twelve days out

the top of Elk Mountain, leaving
camp about $3.50 a. m. This was
rather a hard climb for the boys, so
we were unable to get right to the
top. Although we travelled through
lots of timber, and snow, the top of
the mountain seemed to be getting
farther away. At about 1870 D.. m.
Harold Morgan and Claud Johnson
gave out and could go no further,
as the altitude was getting too high
for them. At this place we ate lunch
and rested for quite a long time, then

One good thing vas that Dan Clegg
ate only two pan cakes for his break

and he surely did run. The other
days that W. had track he came in
4th and 5th place in nearly all events
And some of the boys thought eating
would make no difference in their
speed, and ate as many as 10 pan
cakes for breakfast. But they know
that 10 flap jacks are too many now.
Howard Rodda had a good stand

Few Realize Great Pressure
Under Sea

When you drop something into two
or three miles of ocean, you immedi-
ately invite hard usage. First, there
Is the pressure of water. The weight
OF the sea at 1000 fathoms (approxi-
mately one mile) Is one ton to the
square inch, or $50 times as great as
the air which we breath. Go down
1000 fathoms and there is a pressure
many times more powerful than that
OF the steam in locomotive boiler.
Captain De Carteret told me of
test that was made on the cable ship
Colonia in midocean, writes George
w. Gray in the American Magazine
An empty soda water bottle-one of
the kind that has a conical bottom
was fitted with a long stopper of
hard wood trimmed to fit the neck
of the bottle snugly, and cut so as to
make 1t barely touch the bottom of
the bottle. The bottle was weighted
and let down to a depth of 1000
fathoms. When it was brought up
the point of the wooden stopper was
protruding through the thick glass
bottom. The pressure of the water
had converted the stopper into hyd-
raulic ram. and had driven it so
neatly through the bottom of the
bottle that THERE wasn't even a star
fracture in the glass.
Another cable seaman told of
lowering a piece of meat, properly
weighted to make it sink, in the mid
Atlantic. After being exposed to
the near freezing temperture and the
squeezing weight of a thousand faith
oms of ocean, that tough roast beef
came up as tender as veal.

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Skowhegan, Me, Aug. 16.-For the
motorist, who considers his trip a
total loss unless he discovers some-
thing new and unusual, there awaits
a delightful experience at Lake
wood. Although this unique place,
or institution, or whatever you may
wish to call it, has been in existence
for some 20 odd years, there are,
peculiarly enough, surprisingly
small and select number of State of
Manners who have discovered Its
true worth and are availing them
selves of it's many pleasures.
Lakewood might be termed a pro-
fessional colony. Its population,
transient and otherwise, comes prin-
cipally from New York, although
there are any number of families
from Skowhegan, Madison ana
neighboring towns. who have cot
tages there.
The out-of-staters include such
we'll known personages as Wincheli
Smith, playwright and producer
author of Thank U, Lightnin, ana
half a dozen other successes; John
r. Hymer. co-author of the big sue
cess East by West, and Leroy Glenn
ems. his collaboration of the present
New York hit, Saloma of the South
Seas: Kilbourn Gordon, the New
York producer, who made his bow
to Broadway few seasons ago with
The Cat and the Canary; Howard

For purposes Of location, Lake

to Quebec, five miles north of SHOW
hegan. 1t is easily accessible by mo-
tor, or there are TRACTION connections

College Spa Is
Raided by Officers
-LiuuOr Found

Charles RuDenS VINO LOT the past
year has conducted the College Spa
on Main street, will be arraigned in
the Waterville municipal court prob
ably today on a charge of the illegal
possession of intoxicating liquor.
The raid netted the police two
quarts of liquor which tested about
% per cent alcohol and it revealed
one of the cleverest systems OF car
rying on an Illicit liquor business
found for some time.
In the afternoon Police Chief
Franklin D, Gaskell and Deputy
Sheriffs Oscar Haglum and William
v. Nash visited the Spa on war
rant issued to one of the deputies
but the raid proved to be unsuccess-
full and nothing was found. Gaskell,
not feeling satisfied, obtained a
search warrant in the early evening
and at $50 o'clock he and Deputy
Marshal Alfred Poirier went to the
Spa. the chief having previously as
certained that liquor was being sold
there.
Rubens was IN the store when the
officers arrived, standing behind the
counter. No sooner had Mr.. Gas
kell entered than Rubens went TO
push button under the counter
which was connected with puzzer
in the cellar and signaled man In
the cellar that trouble was imml-
nent.
The door to the cellar was locked
and the chief demanded that 1t be
PIIhpnS de.
layed opening the door as long as
possible, asking to see the search
warrant, and by the time Mr.. Gas
kell reached the cellar no one was
there. There was a strong smell of
alcohol in the air but a search of
the basement and a closet revealed
no alcohol. In the toilet, however,
there was an unmistakable smell of
liquor and the two quarts of liquid
which were drawn from 1t contained
a high per centage of alcohol.
In the floor of the Spa was found
hole, about six inches square.
through which it is thought the liq-
uor was passed from the basement
when a signal came from the store
above. A couch had been provided
in the cellar for the man who was
oSotAoiCu a. ShO cAPPAy VI Alq
Rubens was placed under arrest
and taken to the city building where
he furnished bonds of $500 for his
appearance in court.
Yesterday afternoon Rubens, who
had evidently been drinking, went to
the Spa and, taking a hammer, vir-
tually wrecked the store. Large mir
rors which lined the walls were all
smashed, the soda fountain was bad
ly damaged and chairs and tables
were overturned.
Police Officer Petite was on the
upper Main street beat at the time
and the noise that Rubens was
making attracted him to the Spa. He
Immediately called Deputy Marshal
Poirier and soon after the latter's
arrival Rubens unlocked the door of
his establishment and came out on
to the street. When questioned by
the officers he said that the property
IN the store was his and he guess
ed he could do with it as he
pleased"

Apprehend Loubier
Escaped from
Mems RefOrmatOry

Napoleon Loubier of Spruce street,
who was sent to the Mems Reforma-
tory at South Windham last July ~
on a charge of assault and battery
against his wife and who escaped
from that institution last week. was
apprehended by the police Saturday
and the local officials believe that he
has returned to the Reformatory.
Since his escape the police had
been always on the watch for Lou
bier and Saturday afternoon 1t was
learned that he with his wife had
gone to Vassalboro. He was not
found there and the trail led to Lou
bier's brother-in laws in Richmond.
Deputy sheriffs in that town were
notified and the man was found In
company with his wife. They both
told the officers that it was their In
tention to go to the Reformatory
and return Loubier to the authori-
ties. After Police Chief Franklin ID.
Gaskell had communicated with the
Reformatory it was decided to allow
the pair to be on their way. Up to
last evening the Waterville police
had not learned whether or not Lou
bier had made his appearance at the
vouth Windham institution.
