new store built by Babbitt Broth
ers at a cost Of $4,000, and the
establishment Of Phantom Ranch in
the bottom of the inner gorge by
the Fred Harvey Company, are
among the many desirable develop
ments by park operators. The Gov
ernment contributions have been:
the establishment of administrative
headquarters, the building Of nearly
100 miles of telephone lines which
now connect both rims of the Can
yon and all operating points in the
of new trail, the building of the
Kaibab suspension bridge, the es-
tablishment of free nature guide,
information and naturalist service !;
the start of a $2,0O0,000 road pro-
gram, the maintenance of all public
improvements, and many other
activities.
In reviewing the work of the past
eight years Park Service officials
take a greater pride in the new
public auto camp, which will be
opened in the spring, than in any
other accomplishment. The grounds
have been laid out according to the
best modern practice developed by
the Park Service. There will be
practically no limit to space avail
able for camping. In addition, the
Fred Harvey Company has con-
structed a fine camp lodge, which
will provide delicatessen service,
and also large rest and lounging
room for campers. They have also
built 19 housekeeping cottages of
the most advanced type and addi-
tional ones will be built as the de-
mand increases. The standard of
construction throughout the unit
has been the best and officials Of
the Service are certain that it is
the last word in auto camp develop
ment. The completion of this camp
unit will make available four diff
ferent classes Of accommodations in
the park. The most expensive and
luxurious will be the Ell Tovar Ho-
tel, while the cheapest will be the
free public auto camp maintained
by the Government, even water and
fuel being furnished without cost.
The housekeeping cottages will rent
for 81 a day. Between this class
and the Ell Tovar is the Bright An
gel camp. In the first eight years
the Grand Canyon National Park
has been developed to the point
where practically any person may
find accommodations to suit his
pocketbook. In addition, many de-
velopments are now planned for the
future.

MOTOR ENAMEL IMPROVES
APPEARANCE OF OLD CAR

When overhauling the motor, try
scraping all the oily dirt off of the
outside surfaces, thoroughly clean
with gasoline and, after drying,
paint it with motor enamel. This
enamel can be obtained in either
aluminium or black and will decid-
edly improve the appearance of an
old motor, says the American Auto
mobile Digest. Then, if the valve
covers ara all places that ordi-
narily leak oil are kept tightly
fastened on, dust will not collect
so easily and the usually neglected,
dirty job of making many small ad-
justments will be pleasure.

American marines are patrolling the northern and western mill districts of the foreign settlements where trouble is most likely to break out.

All barriers between the native and the foreign cities are closed and heavily guarded. One of the British Punjab soldiers was killed and two wounded by gunmen firing from the border of the settlement The troubles in the native settlements are blamed largely upon the Cantonese plain clothes men, who attacked the police stations, cap turing several and burning one.

showdown" on the question Of con-
victing alleged bootleggers on the
testimony given by "undercover"
agents has resulted In victory for
the Government.
The test came in the first ses-
sion OF the United States court in
Danville since the undercover policy
was Initiated last year.
No acquittals were recorded and
several prisoners pleaded guilty
and were sent to jail, by Judge III.
9. Mcdowell.
Two juries returned verdicts OF
guilty on undercover agents testi-
mony.

Lumpkin, former postmaster Of
Danville. who gathered evidence
against bootleggers and moonshin-
ers In Patrick County. and r. w.
Graham, University Of Virginia stu.
dent and son Of professor at
Charlottesville.
Judge Mcdowell in his charges to
the juries emphasized constantly
what the law sanctions by way Of
Misrepresentation and what 1t does
not sanction. The burden Of his
charge was that Government agents
have the right to misrepresent them
selves to obtain evidence.
