At the bridge head on the District
side the path that leads from the rail
road levels meets the River road or the
Canal road, which leads from Wash
ington, and in this neighborhood, where
SO much traffic convergeS and so many
travellers meet, a little settlement has
strung itself along the wayside. Some
of the houses are old and picturesque,
and some are new and lacking in that
charm with which men are prone to in
vest old things, but nearly all of them
have bright flowers blooming in their
little gardens. The Rambler has
folk, and has and still has many friends
among them
From the Chain bridge steep set of
wood steps leads down to the tow
path Of the canal. and this, being lined
with trees on the southwest side, is
shady in the afternoon. Many men fish
here and many couples promenade. AT
the foot of the steps you may find the
main path, which leads through the
jungle below the bridge to the bare
rocks at the margin of the river One
of the interesting features in this
rough and dim land is the ancient
causeway. Parts of it have been oblit-

The boats of the Potomac fiotilla were
often engaged with batteries along the
Virginia shore and there was pretty
constant communication by signal and
otherwise between the MARYLAND and
Virginia sides of the river. The follow-

the University of California, where his
acquaintance with Franklin X. Lane,
now Secretary of the Interior, began.
On being graduated from the uniyer-

pose. and Mr.. Mather has taste for

The fact that in college he had done

The national park problem he said
the other day in discussing his present
work. consists chiefly in making these
national Fairgrounds avatlable ana
useful to the people. Means OF getting

cally when one gets there must be sys-
tematized better than they nave peeh.
ITO illustrate what mean: Many
school teachers in the past haYe saved
up their money to visit Switzerland to
enjoy the Alpine scenery. With them
the high initial cost of getting there
is balanced by cheap living within the
country. What we want TO do is to put
tours of the national parks on some
what the same basis. so that a larger
portion of the population may enjoy
them.
This means cooperation between
the transportation, camping and hotel
concessionaires. that separate ar
rangemenrs will not have to be made
with each, and so that accomm odatlons
to suit all purses may be provided. To
this end we are consolidating conces-
sions as far as possible, and also we
are planning to erect in some parks.
