NAMES SOME THINGS IYIATARE
NECESSARY TO TYESUCCESS Or
THE COlNLNG VIRGINIA PAGEANT
Bessie Mae Dudley, in Advocating Support for Event,
Declares All Virgnians Should Be Able to Direct
Visitors to All Important Places in State &

/ Now that all ot us are putin,
! forth every effort TO make the com.
! ing pageant a thorough success. i,
! has occurred 10 me that there az,
! several things which should be par
| ticuiarly stressed at this time. says
| BESSIE Mac Dudley in a letter advo-
| eating support for the pageant
Since the pasean. will center large
~ around the first settlement OF our
country. ii is quite reasonable to
assume jhat there VIII be thousands
OF visitors who Will want to visit
the actual birthplace OF our nation,
Jamestown. itself
/ wonder how many virginians
really know whore Jamestown is?
And. too, do we know just how TO
reach it?
am confident that the vast ma
iority have no idea of the exact To-
cation OF this most Important spot in
our history. Most OF them know that
1t is in the James Rivcr--somc where
because the y. L. V. \. runs an
excursion there once year" But
then Il great many people are under
| the Impression that this is the only
way to reach it. This ignorance on
the part of NirSinians in general. and
possibly of Richmondcrs in particu-
lar leads to some very amusing stu
;ttionS.
AS an illustration, gentleman
from Plymouth decided To spend his
vacation last summer in going from
his home. the landing place of the
Pilgrims, To jamestown, the Oldest
settlement of all.
He got as far as Washington, hut
no one there could direct him to his
destination. JIc asked at every bu-
reau OF information. aUl finally visit
ed the Congressional Library. But
all Of the Information which he sue
cceded i'll uncarthing there was con-
tanned in two hricf references; one
&" crly mentioned at Jamestown as the
landing place of the first setticrs the
other referred TO ii as "a mess OF
ruins"
lie decided to come TO Richmond
for more accurate informaiion and.
coming down from Washington on
the train, he engaged in CONVERSE
ton with two gcutlcmcn-ou from
Richmond. the other from Norfolk.
The Richmond man frankly didn't
know where Jane stown was The
Norfcik man thought that ii was in
the James River, and was under the
impression that yon had TO go to Nor
folk and catch a boat from there.
sun uncertain. the plymouth man
was making futile inquiries in the
station. after reaching Richmond
when n"gr" porter overheard him
and told him that he had worked on
the run 10 Newport News. ami that
he thought that lac had heard pas.
scngcrs speak Of getting off at Will
linmshure and driving from there to
jamestown. All other Information
being totally lacking. the gentleman
decided TO take the risk. and went
10 Williamsburg
He took the right chance. for VIII
liamshurG IS only nine miles from
the island. and cars are easily pro-
cured FOR reasonable rates to take
one OUT there.
Another amusing incident concerns
the efforts made by wealthy West
ern man who was staying at one OF
oar most exclusive hotels
Upon asking N" cicrl; how To reach

posed to relieve public service cor
porations from n part of tho 10 per
cent income tax provision OF the bill.
The chairman indicated that he was
not particularly impressed with the
argument that this would hit many
such corporations very hard. saying
that electric light. street railway. gas
and such companies having small
net income would pay n proportions
atcly small revenue TO the govern
mcnt
Aside from revision OF these levy
sections OF tho law, the minds OF
many committee mcml crs are turned
to Il repeal of the higher income sur
taxes. of all or part of the transport
tation taxes and OF the fountain and
ice cream lcvics. 1t is explained. how
ever, that II does not necessarily fol-
low that these changes vii, be made
or that other changes in the 1915
law Will not he made. The actual re-
visions are yet to be agreed upon,
with indications of some fights in the
committee before the completed Bill
comes out.
