you look, toward the head of Petit creek, at the jagged points of Old Snowyside mountain with it's group of three pinnacles. Then, as the evening S shadows begin to play about the lake and the water settles to stiffness, the blue expanse of Taxiway makes a weird and fascinating picture, every sound coming back to you repeatedly from the echo halls of Old Snowyside and the surrounding crags.
 In the morning, you will feel tempted to take a little stroll to get better ac- quainted with your fascinating sur roundings. After a, trying climb, you find yourself the very tip-top of Old Snowsides topmost pinnacle Here you get a view of primitive and picturesque landscape.
 And the lakes! Before you lie "A gems in a gigantic setting. There are emeralds of different shades of green and of all sizes, set beside blue sap phires of similar 1ustre, while others, shimmering in the sunlight, look like sparkling diamonds or pools of silver.
 Homeward bound, you have your choice of retracing your steps by way of the salmon river to Galina and on down Wood river Or you may glide down Stanley river past Stanley post office, where you may replenish your grub stake from up-to date and fresh stock of supplies carried by Niece in his littlo log cabin store. Then you pass on down the river, past the Shot gun rapids, Sunbeam dam and Robinson bar. Here you will find hotel accommo- dations and fine. large plunge sup piled by a nearby spring of natural hot water.
 From Robinson bar you follow the river to Challis, an old mining town of the early sixties. Beyond Cha1lis you pass through gorgeously tinted canyon stretching 10 miles to Mackay.
 On you speed to Lost river, where there are as many trout to the cubic foot as you will find anywhere. They are not afraid to take a chance on a fly or spinner at any time and de- voices of the rod will be tempted to spend little time here. At Mackay you are back to civilization once more after a memorable trip.
 You will want to know how to reach No Woman's Land where to start from; which roads are best. For the thou sand things you will want to know you will come finally to the Automobile Blue Book. After that everything is easy. The only touring informa uonN it doesn't contain is daily weather fore cast

Peasants of Ukraine Are Not Hurrying to Plant
 Crops for the Germans

Vologda. June 25.-(Corresponden of the Associated Press s.)-Information has reached the American embassy here that the peasants in the Ukraine district, whence Germany expected to obtain the largest part of her new grain supply. are sowing only enough grain for their own needs.
 Fearing that their land will be cor- fiscated or divided or their grain talk en away from them, they are putting in very little seed In fact. in many cases the seed itself has been con- fiscated either by Germans. various factionary armies or rowing bands of soldiers.
 In some of the villages which tho Germans occupied. they seized all gram excepting four poods CHA pounds) per inhabitant which must last the people until the late fall harvest.
 Conditions throughout the Russ an wheat fields according to reports to the embassy, are similar to those of the Ukraine. Land troubles, wherein viI- lage fights village for the land and absence of workers from the fields, have contributed, as well as fear of seizure. to the failure to SOW mor Q than 30 or 40 per cent of the fields.
 As conditions of actual starva tion have prevailed in many Russian cont munities for several months actual famine is facing millions of Russian ns next winter

A Motor Trip Through
 No !" Won1a1's s Land'

You have heard of No Mans Land. that strip of battered, churned terri tory between the battle lines, stretch- ing from the Channel to the Adriatic, in which so many brave fellows have gone to their last great adventure. But have you heard of No Woman's Land?
 No Woman's Land is right here in America It is so called, not because it is forbidden territory to woman, but because the wild and primitive nature of the country has proved a forhidding obstacle to her, as well SIS to the less adventurous type of man.
 Tn the unpoetic language of maps! it is the Sawtooth Range of Idaho, but long before you reach it you realize you are approaching something new, different and collaborating, For the route to the Sawtooth Range leads through stretches of desert and prairie. until you finally reach the beautiful groves and willows along the Dood river, one of the finest trout streams sn America.
 Passing through Hailey. you glide over excellent roads to Ketchum, where you plunge into the wilderness still following Wood river, whose banks are spattered now with pine trees and frs, intermingled with the cottonwoods and willows. And when your speedometer registers an even 30 miles from Ketchum you will find yourself on Gaiina summit, at an elevation of S7s5 feet. You look across the head of a beautiful valley. bordered by dense spruce and lodge pole pines, and you huddle back awe-stricken at the mag nifcent peaks towering above them.
 That range of peaks, resembling the edge of an inverted crosscut saw in the jagged outline of it's pinnacles, is the Sawtooth. It extends practically 90 miles down the Salmon river from here. in places reaching an altitude of II GOO feet
 You start down the long descent to Alturas lake. Reaching this point, you pull up near the inlet of the lake, on 2 beautiful white randy beach. pie

Can you imagine a factory so big and so efficient that it takes the raw cotton in at one end and runs it out in cloth at the ether at the rate of 6o miles every hour and keeps up that speed all the year through2 The cotton comes forth as fast as the highest powered automo- piles fly oyer the road. You might hitcn the cloth is it comes from the looms to a lightning express train and start the locomotive off at full speed and there would be no slack or break in the cloth. It would keep up with the train, even though the ears were kept running for nine hours day all the year through. If started here in New Hampshire the first days output would reach almost to Pitts burg and by the end of the second day the train pulling the cloth would be at the edge of Chicago. Within four days it would be far beyond Denver. and by the end of the week it would have reached San Francisco, and if you could

 As like as not, while you are pre- pairing camp for the night, you will en- counter a party filing by from the in- let. They are equipped with long poles and some of them have sacks slung over their shoulders.

 But how about rod and line? They look pretty gamey," you suggest after a closer inspection of the fish. "Yes, they belong to the salmon fam lily but they wont bite." you are in formed.

L. J Lively, the lively" manager of the EiIcar Motor Sales company. is en- thusiastic over the way his 12-cylinder National proved it's mettle on dhe cross country run, from which Lively has just returned
 To quote MT. Lively:
 We started our trip from Tndian- apolis and our itinerary included Elk hart, Ind, Toledo, Cleveland, Pitts burg, Wheeling. Columbus, Louisville, Nashville and Rirmingham.
 This was distance iof 1885 miles and we covered it in three days which is by the way, very good time for the roads were very rough; espe- cially between. Toledo, Columbus and Pittsburg.
 The poor condition of these roads fife which is continually passing-con- sisting mostly of army transport trucks
 Between Columbia, Tenn. and Ath- ems Ala, we experienced quite bit of difficulty on account of the noun tainous roads, which were in some places almost impossible but through out the entire trip the National stood up like man under all punishment.
 The trip was purely attest trip and at no time did we try to spare the car It was truly an inspiration to me to see the way the National proved it's worth over difficult grades, which we encountered through the mountains
 "This trip has proven once more to me that the National not only is fauitless performer, but it is econom- ieaL We averaged between II and 12 miles to the gallon of gasoline and S0n miles to . quart of oil
 "ln Pittsburg there are 367 National 12' owners and a thorough canvass of these autosts has proven that National economy is based on facts-for they report fror 10 to hs miles per gallon of gasoline

a motor car road IS feet wide around the earth and still have enough to cover a three-foot path half way 10 the moon
 The cotton is coming forth now at the rate of about mile a minute. and large part of each mile is for shirts to be made for the soldiers. The shirt ings of that kind already produced num- Der more than 100000 yards, enough to reach almost all the way from New Orleans to Chicago. It was enough to supply shirt apiece for 100000 sol- diers.
 The same factory is making vast quan- titles of worsteds for tho army. It turns out something like 60 miles of them every week. It makes the barracks bag which every soldier carries to France This is woven in a cylinder of strong in on machines run by girls. The bag looks much like the laundry bag we use in travelling. The room in which it is made covers more than an acre, and the foreman thereof tells me that he is weaving such bags at the rate of l0.- coo per hour.
 The factories where all this is going on are right here at Manchester They belong to one company and they have produced cotton mill center which is larger than that of any single company in Great Britain. It is, I venture, one of the oldest factories in the world It be- gan to spin and weave cotton within generation or so after the spinning-jenny was invented by Hargreaves, and shortly after the British barber and hair dyer named Arkwright had put up his fac tories in England for his new inven- tlons of spinning and carding machines; and it has been making more or less cotton cloth from that time until now
 The first mill was established when Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States, and the present company had it's origin when Andrew Jackson held tine office which Woodrow Wilson now holds There is a tradition here that Andrew Jackson rode through Manches- ter in a beautiful barouche drawn by four milk. white horses and that he visited the cotton factory and rode for a mile be- tween two rows of mill girls, who greet

INTIMATE PAINTINGS

Most Of Notable Amer

The group OF Intimate Paintings"
now on view In the Macbeth Galleries
contains small examples OF the work of
the most of the notable artists in
American history, as we'll as contribu-
tons from most OF the well known
men of the present. The pictures are
often somewhat sketchy. but will be
valued none the less by those who like
to penetrate as closely as possible TO
the artists thought.
Winslow Homer's water color is an
instance in which a slight impression
reveals much of the man. certainly all
OF his force. Some fishermen are pull
ing a hfeboat over an ocean that is
still molten yellow, although the sun.
like a red wafer, sinks to the horizon
behind fog bank. A few strokes in
dictate the surge of the sea and a few
strokes suffice for the men and the
boat i yet not only is the pull upon the
oars realized, but also the mystery
and sense of tragedy that Homer al
ways gave to his sea pictures. -
Albert Ryder's 1.-THE River" is a tiny
panel, but packed with poetic sugges-
ton; Alexander Wyants Pain and
Wind" scarcely needs its title, IL Is so
breezy and wet; Dwight Tryon's little
Moonlight" is more satisfactory than
many of his larger efforts; Carl Mel
cher's Early Spring in Virginia" is
the most attractive and sincere of his
recent canvases. and even F. Luis
