MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY
INTO YOSEMITE

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK,
Cal, May 27.-Superintendent Lewis
has made numerous improvements IN
roads and public camps in Yosemite
valley as preparation for the enormous
motor travel which is just commencing
now that roads to Yosemite National
park are OPEN
An of the work accomplished in the
'ost II months is nnr~rare"t. mart IF
the great, comprehensive plan for the
development of the park which looks
forward to the time when even the
present large number of visitors will
be greatly increased.
Most important of the various fea-
lures of the work is the completion of
the road from Yosemite valley to Ell
Portal, terminus of the railroad, where
the new state highway, now under con
struction, will enter the park. This is
the most beautiful route into Yosemite,
following the Merced river canyon and
entering the valley at the famous
"Gates of Yosemitc'' formed by Ell
Captain. Three Graces and Bridal Veil
Falls. The Ell Portal road now is uni
formly 20 feet in width for its entire
distance, of the finest quality macadam,
with grade of six per cent. Wherever
the road is banked above the river, the
outer edge is guarded with granite
curbing, giving the finished appearance
of boulevard. About $4,000 is be-
ing spent on the road this year.
There are few mountain highways to
compare with the Ell Portal road and
to complete the beauty of it Superin-
tendent Lewis has planned on orna-
mental gateway of typical Yosemite
granite at the park entrance, the pill
lars of which have been completed.
The road will be widcncd out and park
ed at the entrance and an artistic
ranger station built there us soon as
the new state highway connects up
with it.
For the convenience of dwcllcrs i'll
| the public camps, work is being rushed
on the construction of sanitary toilets
| to connect with the new $l50,000 sew
age system. New extensions of the big
| % inch Waterman system also are be-
made to serve public camps. 1t is
hoped to furnish these camps with elec-
trio lights next year, which will give
| Yosemite the finest accommodations
for the average man of any park in
| the country.
"We will have to build several new
ranger stations before long, Superin
tendent Lewis said. ''The first ones
will be at Alder creek on the Wawont

Reporting on The recent autom0blIc

Firestone representative states it as his
opinion that sales at the show amounted
to about $4,000 and that at least 10

IN China are American manufacture, the

stolen cars are hidden in the garages un-
til the chase blows over, the ears are
then removed, parts transposed and the
car sold, An active campaign against
the thieves is going on all the time, but
the cooperation of the public is neces-
sary in order to break up the theft
gangs, say the club officials
When the Auto club issued bulletin
recently calling attention to the wild
flowers in California, it was accompanied
by the suggestion that the people should
90 out to see them. So enthusiastic
were the latter, that they cut and pick
ed the flowers along the highways and
foothills so that scarcely Il wild flower
is to be found along any of the main
roads. Despite the fact that it is
against the Jaw to cut or pick the gigan-
tic yuccas which dot Southern Califor-
MIA foothills, forming an important part
of the watershed, thousands of motor
lists have nipped off the big blooms and
carried them homo. Complaints have
poured into the Auto club headquarters
asking that a warning be issued to mo-
tOrists not to strip the country of the
flowers. This has prompted the Auto
club to suggest that people raise do
mestic blossoms in their own yards and
help bcautify their towns and cities
and to leave the wildflowers to bloom

Superintendent Lewis expects that
Yosemite attendance, rs soon as the
all-year road is completed, will jump
we'll above 100000. Yosemite then
will be only about four hour distant
from the trunk highway. If projected
feeder roads from Modesto and MADEIRA
are completed, the time from north and
south will be lessened sharply. 1ose-

to guess what they intended to convey.
Every once In awhile there would be

Such a dance was that which marked
the American debut of Maria Montere,

Then there was a delightful Japanese

Sing Sing prison vas the scene of a
remarkable incident recently when
''The Stroke Of. Midnight" a Swedish
Biograph picture released by Metro

try before the prisoners Of that insti-
tuition. The inmates of Sing Sing were

is disclosed that the story concerns
the final regeneration Of a. seemingly
hopeless derelict Of q man whose re-
%sistance to all efforts to effect his re-
form was almost diabolical in its stub
b%ornness.
The picture is a grim drama of the
underworld and its characters were
many of them prototypes Of the very
men who sat s~pellbound before its un-
foldment. But so true to actual life is
it's story and so convincingly is it por-
trayed that these hardened criminals
were moved to a demonstration Of ap-
proval that surprised Warden Lawes.

Nobel Peace Prize and the adaptation
and direction are by Victor Seastrom

bound from start to finish, is "Whis-
pering Devils" a six reel picture star
ring Conway Tearle and Rosemary
Theby, playing Sunday and Monday at
the Alcazar. It has been adapted
from the stage play of Henry Arthur
Jones, the brilliant English playwright.
The story deals with the struggle Of
man against temptation, and is an
outspoken, Straightforward reflection
Of the temptations that beset the hu-
man being and set his brain afire with
uncomfortable desire. The story is all
the more powerful by dint Of the adj
nirable performance Of Conway Tearle

undergo a severe strain in the exc
cution Of their respective roles.

Suddenly he spied Frank Fay-care-

And then came a surprise. A little boy,
not more than four or five years old, in

the honors of the evening. We all ex-
pected to be bored. but that youngster
played that drum and struck the Gym
balls and ratified away with such an
instinct for jazz that he proved irresist-

and vainly searched the program for

Thus ended one of the most curious
