Whoopee was raised by Wenceslas,
emperor OF Germany and King of Be-
hemla. He was the son of Charles w.
He was only II when he became EN-
peror. Already he scarcely knew which
he liked better-the bottle or the hunt.
Probably the bottle, for he seems to
have been drunk two-thirds of the time.
Riotous, rude frolics were the order
OF the day for him. The Germans de-
Spised him, but since he spent most of
his time at Prague, in Bohemia, seldom
bothering them, they permitted him to
go his own way.
The sort of amusement Wenceslas
liked best is indicated in the story of
the red, white and black tents.
He had determined to take back from
the Bohemian mobiles certain lands given
to them by former kings. They were
invited to come to him. They found
him in a black tent which opened into
red tent on one side and a white one
on the other. If they agreed to give up
the land they were led into the white
isn't, where a great feast was being
served. If they refused, they were
escorted into the red tent and their
heads were cut of.
Having mistreated Puchnik, an eccle-
siastic, Wenceslas turned remorseful and
sought to make amends. But, soaked
in liquor, he succeeded only in turning
his plans into a mad jest.
He led Puchnik to the royal treasury
and filled his clothes, even his boots,
with gold.
The delighted priest prepared to de-
part. 1t was impossible. The coin so
weighed him down he couldn't move.
The Emperor, laughing heartily, watch
ed him disgorge the greater part of the
treasure.
Wenceslas for a time was deposed and
held prisoner by some of the Bohemian
mobiles. Later they released him. He
invited them to a great banquet and,
while they were making merry, he had
them seized and beheaded.
OF course, he couldn't keep up this
sort of thing? The princes of the en-
pire grew angry when, during a visit
to Paris, he took part in drunken
frolic, during which the King OF France

VACATION SEEKERS
FLOCK TO MAINE
Lakes, Resorts and Beaches
Call Motorists North Each
Summer.

In the minds Of many people Maine
and vacationland are synonymous. For
Maine has everything that any one
can desire for holiday retreat. 1t has
emerald lakes, perfect In their set
ting Of surrounding forest growth, over
1880 of them, ranging in size from
majestic Moosehead to tiny bodies of
streams that are large enough to appear
on a map. It has wide, dazzling white
beaches, protected by countless Of
shore islands, which alternate with
craggy headlands that proudly breast
the daShing surf of the ocean. The
calm serenity Of the inland lakes, iso-
lated shore and peaceful rural country
side make a sharp contrast with the
happy busting din of amusement re-
sorts where one may enjoy to the limit
the more metropolitan aspects Of vaca-
ton pleasure. And in Maine these exist
within short distances and may be
sought according to the humor OF the
motorist.
Boston a Focal Point.
Boston Is really the focal point for
the starting Of a trip from the Capital
into Maine. There are many ways TO
Boston from the Capital, along conven-
tional routes or otherwise which are
well known to the motorist. In this
tour, however, the principal question
asked by the motorist Is, what do we
do when we get to Maine. So well
leave the Washington Boston route
out of the question, let the Maine
visitor take the well Travelled and well
marked highways that lead to the city
of culture and cod, and then answer
the question.
Starting our trip from Boston, the
Automobile Club of America suggests
that, although the Newburyport turn
pike is the most direct route TO Ports
mouth, we will find 1t much more at
tractive to follow the route out along
the famous North Shore" Of MaSSachu-
setts. This Is route IA out through
Lynn, Swampscott, where the first evl-
dences of Summer cottage life at the
shore will be found and Salem, one OF
the best known, historically, Of the old
New England cities, to Beverly. Here
we leave route Ia and continue out
along the shore through Beverly Farms,
Manchester to Magnolia. This little
place has often been called the New
port of Massachusetts" and it Is a very
gay Summer resort. A long, splendid
beach offers the main attraction and 1t
has some of the finest hotels along the
North Shore. From here 1t Is possible
to run and see Raves Chasm and the
Reef Of Norman's Woe, made famous
by Longfellow'S Wreck of the Hes
perus." From Magnolia we continue on
to Gloucester, home of the fishing in
duStry and of fishing fleets, famous the
world over.
At Gloucester we turn inland again

STUDY WILL SHOW
ACCIDENT CAUSES
Commerce Secretary Starts
National Check.up of
VehicuIar Faults.
By the Associated Press.

ny Ss1e ABSoClebeQ Press.
A study to check the growing num-
Der OF automobile accidents due to i'm
proper maintenance OF vehicles Is to be
undertaken by committee representing
more than score Of interests. an
pointed by Robert P. Lamont, Secretary
OF Commerce.
Estimates indicate that a large per-
cent OF all serious automobile accidents
on the highways are due to faulty
maintenance, and Secretary Lamont
regards the subject Of such national i'm
portance that every effort should be
made to bring about improved condi-
tions.
Report to Be Distributed.
The committees final report will be
widely distributed so that the fullest
benefits Of its recommendations may
be realized.
The committee was appointed by Mr..
Lamont as chairman of the national
conference on street and highway safe
", which was organized in 1924 by
Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of
Commerce.
Inspections in various States, the
Department Of Commerce says, have
shown an alarming lack Of maintenance
OF motor vehicles. OF 5,057 ,48O motor
cars inspected in 10 States in 1927 and
1910, 1,oS4,Ioo required brake ADJUST
ment to comply with existing laws.
Many Defective Lights.
Defective lights were found on 23o,-
SAT cars, 77,643 had defective steering
gears and about 200, 900 were below re-
quirementS in other respects, such as
horns, mirrors and windshield wipers.
Thirty-eight per cent of the cars ex-
amined in Michigan alone required
some adjustments to correct defects and
comply with the State laws.
The national conference on street
and highway safety has brought about
numerous changes In the interest Of
safety. Shortly after the organization
OF the body in 1924, q special commit
tee issued a report urging automobile
manufacturers and operators to exer-
else more care in the design and main
tenance Of vehicles.
Many of the design and construction
recommendations made by that COM
mittee have been incorporated in recent
models of vehicles, but the maintenance
situation has improved but little de-
spite campaigns by various States to
get the public to attend to brakes,
steering gear. headlights and other
units essential to safety.

Across Frenchman's Bay, to the east
ward lies Winter Harbor. Ferry serv-
ice Is maintained between the two
points. Winter Harbor has by its
natural formation one Of the best har-
bors on the New England Coast and
Is a fine objective for all yachting
cruises and races. Here also are facili-
ties for all outdoor sports. For the
motorist who wishes to go direct from
Bangor to Winter Harbor without 60
ing down on Mount Desert Island, it is
possible to continue on from Ellsworth
through Hancock and Sullivan to Win
ter Harbor.
The motorist going onward into
New Brunswick should continue along
route No. through Steuben, Cherry
field, Machias, Whiting, Pembroke
Perry, to Calais, where the border line
Is crossed over to Canadian soil. The
route runs onward through st. Stephen,
st. Andrews and st. George to st. John,
from which point trips can be made in
all directions through New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia.

Continuing our policy of following the
route nearest the water, we leave Ports

nebunkport Is another one of Names
noted Summer beaches. One Of the
unique charms Of this seashore resort
lies In the Summer cottages that have
been built out Of rocks in their natural
form.
Continuing through Cape Porpoise to
Blddeford Pool, we turn inland to Bid
deford and crossing over the Saco
River we run through Saco to Portland,
known as "The Gateway Of Maine"
Many Possible Trips.
From here trips in all directions are
possible, to the White Mountains Of
New Hampshire, Sebago, Belgrade, Ran
geley and MooSehead Lakes, Mount
Kineo, Bangor, Bar Harbor, Winter
Harbor, ST. Andrews and st. Johns and
other points in Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick.
For the White Mountains, one Of the
most popular ways to go Is by way Of
Poland Spring. perhaps the best known
OF all Maine resorts. The outlook from
the top of Kicker Hill is superb, O
beautiful, rolling country Of forest, lake
and farm with the peaks Of the PreSi-
Dental Range on the horizon, some
times a gray-blue in the distance or
snow-capped in the Spring and Fall.
A visit to the spring where the we'll
known Poland water gushes forth and to
the bottling house where the water is
prepared for. shipment all over the
