has naturally caused renewal of &C

Miss Holmes plays an important
role in bringing one band of wire tap

rounded up after an exciting chase in
which Miss Holiness clinging to the

WANTS CAPITAL VIEWS USED.
Secretary of Board of Trade Writes
to Lincoln Highway Association.

Secretary Chris t;ockeIer of the Board
of Trade has written letter to the
Lincoln Highway Association asking
that views in Washington he included
in the motion picture entitled Prom
Coast to Coast in an Easy Chair which
the association has had taken. The
photoplay shows scenes along the
route of the Lincoln highway. Since
the road from Philadelphia TO Wash
1ngton and from this city to Gettys-
burg has been included as a feeder to
the main route of the highway, Mr..
Gockeier believes that scenes along it
and also in Washington should be in
corporated in the picture.
An effort is to be made to have the
Lincoln Highway Association have the
pictures taken. as the last of the scenes
to be included in the photoplay are
now being completed. If the associa-
ton will not include the Washington
Getour Mr.. Gockeler will urge the
Washington civic and commercial Or
CARNATIONS to cooperate in having the
pictures taken, at their expense, and
then presented to the Lincoln Highway
Association and incorporated in the
photoplay.
From Coast to Coast in an Easy
Chair is to be shown at the Panama
Pacific exposition, and later the film
is to be exhibited throughout the
United States. Mr.. Cockeler believes
that views in and about Washington
will prove good advertising for the
National Capital.

RETURNING HERE FOR WINTER
Tide of Travel From Lower Potomac
Counties Sets In.

With school opening time approach
ing, many families who have been
spending the summer at their old
homes along the lower Potomac are
now returning to this city and the
river line steamers are bringing back
the household goods they took down
the river early in the summer.
A large proportion of the population
Of Washington came originally from
the river counties of Maryland and
Virginia. Each summer. about the
time the schools close, the migration
to river points starts. Many families
have summer cottages on the old home
farm along the river. Such household
furnishings as are needed are taken
there and the women and children go
to the cottages to spend the summer,
the ~breadwinner visiting them for the
week end when possible.
In the latter part of August and into
September, until about the middle of
the month, the tide of travel sets to-
ward Washington from the river coun-
ties and the household goods are
brought back on the river boats This
tide of travel cityward has now start
ed and will be at its greatest in about
two weeks.

proposed last Sunday. but was inter-
rupted by rain. This is said to be one
of the most perfect wooded trails fol-
lowed by wanderlusters, as well as
being entirely new. An unusual oppor-
tunity is afforded nature lovers to see
some sections in Washington consid-
erably out of the line of ordinary
travel

success, about fifty participating. The
air was almost perfect" says the Off

clouds, and the moon. large and full,
shone upon US from behind the trees
and over the roadway ahead, as the
turns OF a pretty country lane. border
age and high trees, were followed from
inc bridge to Cherrydale. The evening
mixes have an advantage in that, on
account of the crowd being smaller
and less scattered, the opportunity to
become acquainted with one another is
so much greater.
Several new members were initiated
Another walk probably will be taken
next Wednesday evening"
Word has been received here that E.
4. Rochester, accompanied by John r.
Boyle, jr., and Titus like, with twelve
other Washington wanderlusters, went
on a seven-mile ride along the south
side OF Yellowstone canyon recently,
where they are on a trip. They also
mixed for about six miles along the
north rim of the canyon to Lookout
