Throwing a Fe,u Belated Bouquets

prevented us from scoring in the first
half That deadly tackling of Guckey-
son was a terrific factor"
Two personal tossings of bouquets
now are in order. A tremendous factor
in that Georgetown line was Shuker.
Much has been written about how
constant stream of replacements in
that great forward gradually wore
down Maryland's line and this is not
far from the truth.
But one gentleman who received no
quarter, nor asked any, was Shuker,
168-pound guard, who played all go
minutes and turned in a game such
as you seldom will witness. That is,
If you ever watch guards.
1t was Shuker, more than any
other Georgetown lineman, who
did that knitting through the
Maryland defense to throw the
Terrapin backs for losses.
And then there was little Joe Will
liams, 155 pounds of grit in George
town gray Joe is an end who was
told to wear the shoes of Al Snyder,
the best end in the city, and make
them fit. On Saturday they actually
pinched. Fifty-eight of the go minutes
this little fighting man played, and
effectively, calmly stripping the Mary
land interference on end sweeps and
tackle thrusts. Joe's daddy, incident
ally, is the most insured man in Amer
lea (20,000,000 bucks), and Joe Is a
millionaire in his own right. What

Guards Are D0bson'S Heroes.
PRANK DOBSON, the Maryland
coach, had a few posies to throw,
too. In the Maryland dressing room
he stalked, with faint smile playing
on his lips. Boys" he said, I'm
proud of you" That was all, except,
later, when some newspaper men came
into the room. Then he said, II want
you to meet couple boys"
Guckeyson was sitting nearby and
so was Johnny Gormley. who played
most of the game with a bad shoulder.
But the faces of the two boys Dobson
beckoned were strange. And no won
der. Guards.
Here are my foot ball play
ers," said Dobson. "Bill Wolfe
and Mike Surgent. They're my
boys. I'm proudest of them"
Wolfe and Surgent are a pair Of
20-year-olds, juniors, both from Penn
sylvania and almost physical twins Of
moderately sized linemen. In high
school they were not so hot and un-
invited to do their playing at any Of
the big Penn colleges. At Maryland
they have played virtually every min
ute of eight major games and are the
chief reasons why Hagerty, among
others, said, Don't think Maryland Is
a one-man team. Dobson has done .
wonderful job of building line"
Wolfe and Surgent have no
understudies. They are the only
guards on the Maryland squad.
They do all their work, incl
dentally, on Saturdays.
DobSon never uses them In scrinl-
mage or hard workouts, which accounts
for their ability to stand on their feet.
If anything should happen to them,
Maryland probably will declare itself
bankrupt and call it year.

The drinking of milk before retiring has long been considered an aid in in- Gucing sleep but one is apt to for- get about 1t. Although we arc not all subject to insomnia, a very wise habit is to take 6 warm glass of milk before retiring. Besides making relaxation easier and in- ducing sleep 1t is Q good food habit to form. MIX, according to its value as a food, is not consumed in adequate amounts. The warm glass at night could therefore serve the double duty of an excellent provider of necessary food elements and help for insomnia.
 Although 1t is easiest to use the warm milk alone, some prefer a stronger flavor. Tn that case few simple preparations are necessary. There are several ways to flavor warm milk, One is by the addition of 0 little sugar and drop or two of vanilla. Fruit fiavors may be successfully used by adding a few tablespoons of juice to the milk, care being taken to stir vigorously

financially impossible to build the
road through every town in the differ
ent vicinities to be traversed, interest
began to lag, and operations were fl
nally halted.
In 1881 the Virginia Assembly
made possible the completion of this
project by passing an ordinance to
provide for the construction of the
road. The governor and other high
state officials were to be the officers
of a corporation now formed and
known as the president and Directors
of the Northwestern Turnpike Road"
It was decreed by the act that the ac-
tivity or the declivity of the road should
not exceed five degrees, nor should
the road be narrower than twelve feet
at any point. The general width was
to be eighteen feet.
The road was soon built, crossing
the southern part of Garrett county
and entering Preston county, West
Virginia some miles south of King
wood.
In charge of the Virginia highway
work for time was Claudius Crozet,
who had served under Napoleon and
had been an instructor at West Point.
Under his direction much of the work
was done by Charles Shaw, very able
engineer.
The finished turnpike from Win
chester to Parkersburg was two hun
dred and thirty-seven miles. 1t is well
known as the last of the pioner Amer
lean turnpikes. Historians are agreed
that it did more than any other sin

the trade of the West. Taverns were
built along the way. Stagecoaches
made good time over it. Sheep, cattle
and hogs passed along it by the thous-

The Northwestern Road Company
was incorporated by the Virginia As
sembly, February 81, 1927. The pur-
pose of the company was to construct
highway from Winchester, Virginia,
to Parkersburg (West) Virginia. Al
though the exact route of the road
was not chosen at that time, it was de-
signed to run through the counties of
Hampshire, Mineral, Grant, Garrett
<Maryland), Preston, Taylor, Harri-
son, Doddridge, Richie and Wood.
Stock subscription books were open

ers of this rocky stream. This was
only bridge spanning Cheat River b.
fore 1851. 1t was hewn from virgin
timber and sawed and shaped by hand
by Silas Kidwell in 1885. 1t is three
hundred feet long and cost $4,000.
1t has been well braced and is being
preserved for its historic and senti-
mental interest.
At the east end of this bridge is
Dawson's Camp where residents of
nearby towns and passing tourists
gather in the summertime for picnics.
1t is on this site that the Caledonia"

Colorful and romantic are the tales
that have come down to US from this
era. At stopping places like the "Cal-
edonia" the news from East and West
was exchanged. Here the dining tables
were often showed against the walls
of the building and pioneer bellies with
their rugged SWANS could trip the
light fantastic with travellers. Here
were rugged men Stimulated" prepar-
atory to attacking the giant mountains
that lay ahead of them.

vest. Hundreds of Fasteners travel
ed along it seeking "more elbow
room" in the Utopia of the West. Tru-
ly, its existence has furnished US with
history, mellow and romantic, ardu-
Gus and tragic, filled with hope and
illusion.
The fourishing years of the North
western Turnpike were cut short in
the early 1S50's. Surveys for it and for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were
being made at the same time. But rail-
road building, hampered greatly Ey
adverse legislation, local opposition,
physical barriers and financial diff
culties, could not progress as rapidly
as the road, which had the favor Of all.
So, for few years, the turnpike had
no competitor in the transportation
field. And if Washington could have
lived to see his beloved West devel-
op during this period, 1 am sure he
