The mountains have always held
q strong lure for residents of this
city but this year the attraction
seems to have increased 1O-fold,
according to proprietors Of the
numerous mountain resorts.
Splendid roads reach to the
beautiful hills and scores OF motor
lists leave the city each weekend
to camp out in the cool forests.
The popularity of the mountains
has increased to such an extent in
the past few years that the Federal
government will soon throw open
the great Shenandoah National
Park, stretching along the submits
of the mountain ranges and incloS-
ing an area of $4,000 acres. Soon
this territory will become one Of
the great Fairgrounds Of the East.
Greater Part Acquired
The greater part of the park
already has been acquired and is
now a national forest preserve.
Hiking trails stretch through the
preserve and scores of Washing
tonians, with camping equipment
on their backs, march over them
every day.
Many motorists from this city
motor to the little country towns
nesting at the foothills Of the
mountains and park them for a
week or two. Then, shouldering
tents, blankets and a few cooking
utensile trudge off into the noun
tains to disappear from all traces
of civilization. ...
The greater number Of washing
tonians visiting the mountains, how
ever, prefer to take their taste Of
the rugged outdoors with a touch
of modern comfort. They stay at
the resorts along the mountain top.
Skyland, nine miles from Luray,
is in the heart of the Shenandoah
National Park, and is one of the
most popular Of the mountain re-
sorts.
Among the Washingtonians who
were vacationing there this week

Phoebe Fleming, Jesse Loeb, Mr..

the popular resort. Miss Dorothy
Tucker. Of Petersburg, Miss Virginia
Price, W. M. lobe, and Ferdinand
Zerkel, of Luray and Mr.. and
Mrs. Arbert w. Lockwood, Of
Norfolk Are at the resort.
The most interesting event at
skyland last week was the benefit
entertainment given in the dining
hall of the Skyland Hotel by G.
Freeman Pollack, proprietor, for the
benefit Of the Bailey Nicholson
Mountain School for Children.
Miss Marian Sizer. director OF
the school. arrived at Skyland
early in the day with 30 of her
young mOuntaineer pupils. The
Vacationists joined in presenting an
impromptu vaudeville sketch for
the children.

advancing arguments in asking that his
sentence for contempt be set aside.
The matter was brought before the

gressional committees in the examina-
ton of witnesses.
