TRAVELLERS TAKE
TO MOTOR CAMPS
Municipal Camps and Cabins
Solve Hotel Expense Problem

Hello Connecticut, got any wood
en- nutmegs to sell?" 1t was an old
Joke, resurrected, but served as an
introduction just the same. The salu-
tation came from the occupants of a
tent, which was set up alongside of
an automobile parked under an ap-
pie tree in an orchard. 1t might have
been in Maine or New Hampshire
or Massachusetts,. In fact there were
two apple orchards on this trip, one
was at East Lee, Mass, and one was
at Montreal, Canada.
The scene represents newly de-
veloping situation in travel. Motor
camping taken the traveller away
from the usual scenes, situations.
problems, and even expenses of Or
binary travel and plunges him into
what is almost another world.
The camper need not dress for
dinner. He wears only old clothes.
He comes and goes when he pleases
and his expenses for lodging are
very little. He pays 80 cents night
for the privilege of erecting his
tent and parking his car. He cooks
his meals over a kamp HOOK stove,
using gasoline as fuel. eats from
tin dishes or paper plates, unfolds
collapsible cot. covers it with three
or four wooden blankets and he has
his own hotel all set up.
He carries his privacy with him
and has not the bother of walters,
bell hops or hat check girls always
at his elbow looking for tips. He
buys his gasoline. oil and food en-
route ana unless he chooses 10 adopt
something extra has no additional
expense.
1t has been figured by experts that
a man and family of four can travel
by way of the motor camp route for
not more than s. a day. This is Il
low figure, but he certainly can
travel. seen as much as his time and
other conditions will permit him to
cover. buy gas, oil and food, and pay
for parking at a maximum of $50
per day per person. This Of, course
does not figure repairs on route.
One of the most interesting motor
camps in the east is the municipal
camp at Quebec. This camp is oper-
ated by the city and is within the
city limits. If one were to enter
there early in an afternoon he would
see probabl half dozen tents,
Come back at 10 o'clock that night
and there will be more nearly 100
tents. BY ten o'clock the next morn

and several of these will be prepar-

GLACIERS FORMED
HILLS and LAKES
Territory in This Vicinity Shows
Marks Of Ice Age

A resistlessly moving mass OF Ice
half a mile deep is responsible for
the topography of New Britain and
vicinity today. geogoogists have
learned by examining the various
features of the landscape. Most OF
the hills. lakes, ponds, and even
soil in this section of Connecticut
were left here some 10000 years
ago when the great glacier finally
spent its force and had to retreat
before the return of a warmer eli
mate. At its fullest extent the ice
stretched over the whole state as
far as Long Island, burying hills
and valleys alike beneath its huge
and relentless mass.
may be better understood, 1t may
be well to describe how glacier
works. This has been learned from
study Of glaciers which exist at
present in Greenland. the Alps. and
other places, as we'll as from the
evidence left behind by that which
buried Connecticut. A glacier is a
great mass of snow and Ice parti-
Giles ground and pressed together
and moving irresistibly outward or
downward from certain centers.
That which passed over New Brit
ain had its origin in eastern Canada
and spread southwark, sweeping
away everything In its path. 1t
gouged out great amounts of soil,
ground off the edges and tops of
hills, and carried with it the rocks
and dirt thus picked up, leaving
them far from their points of ORR
gin. The whole surface of the earth
was changed when the glacier re-
treated. and biologists have been
able to discover Just what altera-
tons were made.
Plains Formed
Where the water from the melt
ing ice was not confined to definite
channels or places of deposition. it
carried the soil picked up by the
glacier and spread 1t out over the
country as a plain. Such plain is
that at Wallingford. In depressions
left behind by the gougng of the
ice, lakes and rivers were formed.
One occurred at Plainville. a river
being damned and great lake re-
sulting. The soil carried into this
by the post-glacial rivers was de-
posted as sand resulting in the
sand plain which covers a number
OF square miles in the vicinity OF
that town.
| Where the water in these glacial
lakes was turbulent the finer par
ticles of soil were retained by the
water. but they were carried out
into still, deep water and deposited
there. When the lake became
drained, they emerged at the sur
face as clay beds like those at Ber-
lin and Milldale. The Berlin Mid
dletown deposit occupies a fiat,
narrow strip along the Sebethe
river. 1t Is about 80 feet thick and

Queen Mary's Maid
Has Queer Duties

Miss Jean Hamilton Bruce, who
has been appointed Maid of Honor
to Queen Mary. has some queer
duties to perform under the ancient
regulations.
The regulations declare that maids
of honor shall "eat ham in the
morning: ride over hedges and ditch
IS on borrowed hacks: come home
in the heat Of the day In a fever,
with red mark on the forehead
from an uneasy hat. They must
chatter an hour and thence to din
ner."
Miss Bruce obtains many social
advantages with the appointment
and probably will have $1,000 on her
Marriage rule which was institut-
ed by Queen Victoria.

Abie's Irish Rose Which Has Been Running in London

London - Sixty-five per cent of

Cd by women.
Although the habit of snuff-taking
has considerably declined, women
snuH-takers are to be found In every
grade of society. There are said to
be thousands in the Lancashire cot

q valuable means of clearing the air

Snuff Is manufactured here by a

Of tobacco are largely used and are
moistened with u solution of COM

liquorice. tonka beans and other in

being forced to deposit the soil in
great masses. These elliptical hills.
usually about a quarter OF 4 mile
long and from 40 to 100 feet high,
are elongated in the direction Of the
ice movement. The soil In them is
not stratined. and no bedrock is
exposed. The New Britain hills -
Niger hill. Walnut hill and Rack
life heights-are Of this type and
are technically known as drumlins.
The heights about Elm Hill bear
the marks Of similar formation.
In many places the retrorgade
movement of the retreating Ice
ceased temporarily. and the irregu-
lar currents created by the mass
of broken ice and material left
along the edges carried the soil and
deposited 1t in mounds or interlock-
ing ridges known as kames. There
are a number of these In the re-
gion west Of Cheshire.
In other places long undulating
ridges are found. These were made
by the soil deposited at the bottom
Of rivers which flowed through dew
ious channels beneath the ice. They

esker which winds along the east

| Origin of Ponds
The numerous small lakes and
ponds about New Britain. such al
White Oak. Halmin'A Watkins.
Loon lake and the Hartford reser-
voir along the New Britain Farm
ington town line. are in depressions
scooped out by the moving ice, and
the little brooks which flow to and
from them are largely Of glacial
origin.
In many places huge rocks were
carried great distances and left far
from home. These are called resid-
ual boulders and may be told by
their difference in composition from
the surrounding rock beds. There
| is one such boulder atop the Trim
ity college escarpment In Hartford
and probably many others exist
about here or have been broken UP
to clear the land.
Where the ice pushed along rocky
surfaces 1t etched the rocks, leaving
horizontal scratches known as
glacial striae or situations. These
may be seen at White Oak In those
places where the quarries have not
blasted away the original rock sur
face.
Finally, the mantle Of soil In this
district was transported here by the
glacier. There, therefore. IL little in
