walk. The ditch along the eastern
edge overlooked, washing away the
top coating of clay and depositing
gravel and small sticks on the court.
However, the town authorities have
deepened the ditch to a depth that
will in future carry the surplus water
and the courts have again been put
in first class condition by the tennis
committee, ready for the annual
tournament to be held from the 18th
to 10Th inst.
Meyersdale played Mountain Lake
on the courts here last Monday af-
ternoon and the former team walked
away with the honors. When we say
walked away" we don't mean may
be either.
That good, snappy music is appreci-
ated is attested by the capacity crowd
at the Mountain Lake Hotel last Sat
urday evening when the Emerson Gill
orchestra appeared. 1t was the larg-
est turnout at any similar event. The
orchestra stopped here again over
night Tuesday enroute to Cumberland.
The chicken supper tonight from
$50 to $3.50 at the M. E. church is
sure to be well attended.
A warning has been issued from
Washington to people who gather
their own mushrooms to look twice
before they eat. The harmful type
seems to be unusually abundant this
year because of frequent showers. The
lepiota morgani, the poisonous vari-
ETY., is found this year over large
area from Canada south, and closely
resembles the edible variety, lepiota
procera. These names may not mean
a thing to us, but we should be eau
tious, for it is said a good big feed
of the morgani fellow makes for a
dangerous experiment. Even if it
does not kill it makes you right
smart sick.

remarked this morning that, "the sea-
sons activities here are about over,
when in fact, they should be at their
height"
True, isn't it? While conditions
this year have not been such as to
hold out much hope for very success
full season, yet the fact is that for
several years there has not been a
great deal going on at the Park.
The Presbyterian meeting few
years ago was fine, but take it as a
whole, the season is all too short.
When we consider the accessibility
of Mountain Lake Park to large cen
tiers of population, both by rail and
motor, when we consider that we have
good water, telegraph and telephone
service, good hotel and boarding
house facilities, good general stores,
the best doctors, dentists and drug
stores within easy reach, cottages for
all practical purposes and buildings
in which to hold conventions, plus a
wonderful climate, we wonder if we
are doing all in our power to corral
the convention and tourist business {?
A few live wires can not turn the
trick. 1t will take mass cooperative
action.
William L. Branch, Jr, son of Mr..

found violating the road rules would be punished.
 According to the inspectors, they noted that three or four non-or- ganized drivers arranged to run their trucks close together. The lead truck held to the center of the Highway while those behind remained on the right side. A car or truck approaching from the rear thus passed the rear trucks but was held up by the leader. Thus trapped, the vehicle trying to pass would be bathed in the glare of spotlights rom the trucks. If the car and driver passed scrutiny the lead truck pulled to the right and allowed the driver to pass.
 If the vehicle happened to be driven by organization man, how ever, the other drivers would stop and, according to the inspectors, assault the lone driver.
 The reorganization men in. sisted they were only acting in self-defense. They told the inspec- tors that when they went along they frequently were stopped, their trucks damaged and they beaten.

 When Medical Examiner Dr Ed- ward H. Kirschbaum conducted an inquiry and searched among the woman's belongings for informa- ton as to her identity he discovered a huge roll of "gold backs" mostly 20's hidden away in a trunk. The inventory indicates also that the deceased had a fondness for gold coins. A 500-ruble note issued by the Russian government in time of the czars was listed among her pos sessions as being worthless.
 The estate of the deceased has been claimed by her husband.

 Hartford, Conn, Dec 6.-(UP)- Guerrilla warfare on Connecticut highways between organized and non-organized truck drivers has broken out, Michael A. Connor, state motor vehicles commissioner, charged to-day.
 Department inspectors, observing drivers were "ganging" the high ways. They questioned the drivers anc learned the convoy system was being used for self-protection and also in an effort to even accounts with organized men they charged with damaging their trucks and as- saulting them.
 Commissioner Connor has placed the matter before the state police. As result, night patrols will be or gauized to patrol the highways. Drivers violating the road rules and menacing traffic will be dealt with summarily, Connor said.
 "This practice of 'ganging' Is hazardous and must be stopped" " Connor said today. Ut is a menace to other drivers and we are not going to permit 8 quarrel among truckers disorganize our highway rules."

RING LARDNER RITES
SET FOR TOMORROW
Private Services Will Be Held at
East Hampton Home, in
Which He Died.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 27.-Funeral
services for Ring Lardner, author and
humorist and playwright. will be held
tomorrow morning at his East Hamp-
ton, Long Island, home, where he died
Monday
The services will be private and will
be followed by cremation at Fresh Pond
Crematory, Middle Village. Queens.
Mr.. Lardner had been i'll since 1881
and was confined to his bed most Of
the time. The sense of humor that
made him famous from his You know
me. Az days to his Elmer the Great"
was with him until the last.
Henry L. Mencken and George Jean
Nathan. along with Carl van Vechten,
hailed him first as a great writer. but
English critics before that rated him as
the greatest of all short-story writer's.
He said Of himself, Il am just a
funnyman."
He liked to write songs. to amuse
himself by drumming on piano and
playing a saxophone
He came East from Chicago In 1919
and moved to Great Neck, Long Island.
A few years ago he built house in
East Hampton, next to that of his
friend, Grantland Rice. There in a
sun room. especially constructed. he
did his last writing.

Get the hell cut of here. Amt there
people enough around already?"
Lardner and Hugh Fullerton seemed
as much a part Of the old Chicago
Cubs as Frank Chance himself. One
afternoon they were in Stillson's, just
across from the old Chicago Tribune
Office. Ring wanted Fullerton to stay
to dinner Hughie said they had
guests and he had given bond he would
dine at home.
IF your wife says it's all right for
you to stay will you?" Ring asked.
"She won't" said Hughie.
Lardner went to the telephone, re-
turning shortly with:
She not only says it's all right for
you to stay, but that she insists upon
it."
"I think I will call her up myself"
Fullerton decided.
Mrs. Fullertons husband tells the
story now with lot of laughs, but I
am told he didn't even smile as he
scurried out of Stillson's for home after
telephoning Ring had informed Mrs.
Fullerton that her husband was down
town and slightly stewed.
Shall keep him down here or send
him home?"
Keep him down there" advised Mrs.
Fullerton.
Another Lie That Failed.
When Lardner first went to Chicago
to look for job some one had given
him a letter to Fullerton, then sport
ing editor of the Tribune. When the
letter was presented, Hughie, as was
the custom, said:
Lets 60 across the street and have
a drink and talk it over
Il don't drink" replied Ring.
you'll be in fine fix around here
if you don't"
We'll. that's what they told me to
say when I asked for job"
P. S. They got the drink and Ring
got the job.
ITO what do you attribute your sue
cess?" asked Lardner, to make this
account of him official.
ITO Home Run cigarettes and
family with extravagant tastes which
always needs money" was the un-
qualified answer.
