came Glacier Point. From there
we looked down upon the beautiful
Merced below.
A day may be well spend in max
i ing a thorough tour of the, floor of
the valley on both sides of the
Merced river, from Happy Isles. at
the east end of the valley to Po-
hona bridge at the west. Trips to
El Portal, Mariposa Grove and the
all-day trip to Hetch -Hetchy Val
ley viii prove well worth the time
spent.
When we left the valley by, the
Big Oak Flat road we took the
one to the. right, the Tioga road,
the scene wonder of the Sierras.
Lake Tonaya soon commanded our
attention. We soon skirted the
edge of Tenaya's blue waters and
reached the Toulumne Meadows six
miles beyond.
A few miles further on we enter
ed the Tioga Pass, road leading
/, to Mono Lake. Although Mono
Lake is not an inviting looking
body of water, it will bear closer
inspection. Here is the logical place
ito spend the night, at Mcpherson s
Camp, days drive from Yosemite.
After Mono Lake comes Bridgeport
and after a short drive we reach
the canyon of the Walker river. The
road leads on past Interstate Lake
into Nevada and back again into
California, where we soon reached
the Tahoe region.
Lake Tahoe and its fascinating
environs present territory that
will satisfy the ardent outdoor en-
thusiast, or fascinate those who seek
it as a place of rest. We passed

Written for the United PreSS)

NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-Mary and
Elizabeth Dugan are not only "good
stories'' and heroines, but they
come mighty near being "vital sta
tisties'' in an era when all the pub
licity concerning the Young gene.
ration has been centered ON tho
flapper.
Indeed, Mary and Elizabeth, in
their simple, accomplishing deter
mination to carry on bereaved
home, have put a few crimps in sew
eral pessimistic theories concerning
the 1924 female.
\ 20-vear old bread winner and
an1S wear old home maker are sig
nificant figures in amy eonsidera-
ton of modern girls. Especially
when the nine room house they are
trying to save shelters ten other lit
tie orphaned Dugans.
30 one would have known this
epic of Mary and Elizabeth just as
no one knows, perhaps, the brave
struggles of many other modern
girls-if the suit over the father S
death had not brought them INTO
Queens supreme court.
Cost S100 q Week
1t costs 500 a week to maintain
the Dugan home with its y children.
The dead father earned $50 a week
as grocery clerk, augmented by so
from odd jobs. Mary at IA stopped
school to go to work. As telephone
operator she earns $26.50 q week.
Elizabeth who left school at 16, was
earning $50 week also as tele-
phone operator. John II, earned 4
little but he is out of i job now.
The nine other Dugans run down the
age ladder to one year.
When death suddenly casts its de-
vastating tragedy over this home
Mary and Elizabeth wasted no time
in extravagant gestures of grief
Their love fer their dead parents
and for their living brothers and sis
