MANUFACTURING THRIVES
IN BALTIMORE DISTRICT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 23.-Industrial
companies operating in the Baltimore
district as whole in the first quarter
Of 1929 realized one of the most profit
able periods in their history.
This was particularly true of the steel
industry. Steel mills here ran on a
nearly 100 per cent schedule through
out the quarter and are still working
practically full time. The second quar-
ter has begun auspiciously and indica-
tons are that business will continue In
large volume for some time.

the town consists OF only a few
scattered dwellings and soft drink
stands.
Just outside Of Paris, however.
is one Of the most complicated
bridges extant. On 1t the tourist
has to make two turns, and, since
the structure is Of wood, with a
wooden flooring, It is a rather diff
cult feat Of plotting.
within a few weeks this trick
will he eliminated, for the State is

mates both Of the turns and also
cuts down the mileage q bit by
Strengthening out the road.
The new bridge already has
progressed to the point where the
piers in the Shenandoah River
have been constructed, and all that
remains is to lay the steel.
From the range of the Blue
Ridge the tourist starts the descent
into the famous Shenandoah Val.
ley, a descent so gentle that 1t is
scarcely perceptible. The only indi.
cation of it is that apple orchards
along the roadside replace the farm
acreage to which by this time he
has became accustomed.
MOrgan's Old Home
Between Paris and Winchester the
tourist passes Saratoga, the home
built by Gen. Daniel Morgan in
1777. The general was a canny gen.
tlemsn so far as building expenses
were concerned, so he pressed into
service the Hessian prisoners who
were captured in the Revolution.
Saratoga, named after the battle
of that name, served as headquar.
ters for Gen. Robert e. Lee when
he journeyed through this country
in June of 1883 on his way to
Gettysburg.
Then, after travelling "a miles
the tourist drives into Winchester,
famous for its historical back.
ground. for its commercial prog.
ress. and for the Shenandoah Apple
Blossom Festival, commemorative
OF the bounty which the Deity has
bestowed upon the valley in the
form OF apple orchards.
Hours might be spent in this
city by the tourist, but he is forced
to give only q cursory glance to
the many historical points in which
the community abounds.
He will, OF course, visit Fort
Loudoun, built by George Washing.
The Washington times., 1929-08-03


The tour, somewhat longer than
those formerly published in The
Times, takes the motorist from the
National Capital to Berkeley
Springs, w. Va.
The excellent roads which cover
the entire length Of the tour seem
to minimize the $50 miles which 1t
Is necessary to drive In order to
cover the territory as mapped out
by the Automobile Association.
The highways are In almost per-
feet condition, and 1t is only in the
towns and villages along the route
that bumps and holes are encoun-
tered-a commentary contrasting
the state and community govern
n1ents.
Colonial Atmosphere
The curtain Of history which
hangs over the section and which
is pierced by the tourist dates
back to the early colonial days,
pictures the struggles of the early
settlers; tells the story of the
Revolutionary war; vividly por-
trays the struggle of brother against
brother: and is brought up to date
when 1t tells the story Of the in
dustrial and agricultural advance
ment Of the current century.
It Is difficult to judge which Is the
more attractive feature of the trip
the historical background, or the
magnlficent grandeur and beauty
of the scenery. The tour offers
something of interest to all, salts
flying the most varied tastes.
Starting from the Zero Milestone,
the tour leads through old George
town and over the Francis Scott
Key Bridge into Virginia, which,
with its sister State of West Virginia
are the States visited on the trip.
The motorist passes through Ross
lyn and purrs up the hill to Cherry.
dale, through several attract1Vely-
laid-out real estate developements.
Already the tourist gets a taste OF
the beauty which is to envelop him
throughout the trip. It's aspects will
change as he pursues his course
through Virginia and West Virginia,
but its potency will remain the same
or even increase.
Passing through Falls Church,
still in the environs Of the National
Capital, the motorist finds himself
at lHJSI SOlI VI SIoAeO III
travel-the strange feeling that
comes over one after he has started
a Journey, but before he has really
become settled into the role Of tour
ist.
Old Fairfax Lore
But that he is a tourist, and q
tourist through country abounding
in interest, ts borne in upon him with
his arrival at historic old Fairfax.
Just II miles from the Capital he
finds q treasure house Of lore which
might well tempt him to linger for
hours and disarrange his entire
schedule Of the trip.
If the beauty of the trip was fore
cast by the scenery within few
miles of Washington, the history of
the section through which he Is to
pass is accurately indicated to him
in Fairfax.

frequently, when possible. left the
Continental army and spent q week
or two at the resort.
Now the town Of Bath, familiarly

its health giving waters to all. The

both for drinking and bathing.
Berkeley Springs, however, does
not owe its popularity entirely to
the waters. for it offers scenic at.
fractions which are excelled no
where else in this section. Noun
tains rise sheer all around the
town. giving beautiful views OBJ
tainable nowhere else.
Center OF Industry
In addition to its attraction as a
health resort, the community is
really q center for industry. The
immense mountains nearby have
been found to be of good stone. and
quarries have been established
which take from them daily a
mede of treasure.
The history of Berkeley Springs,
like that OF most communities on
the tour Is boundless, and it 10 i'm.
possible here to describe it.
Leaving Berkeley the tour for
this week swings back through
Martinsburg and there takes n
southerly slant which enables 1t to
avoid returning through WincheE'
ter and allows the tourist to visit
Charlestown and other historic
points.
At Charles Town the traveller can
visit the old courthouse, built upon
Rlots donated by Col. Samuel Wash
ington. brother of George. and In
which the trial Of John Brown for
treason was held.
Then, within few blocks. he can
find the scene OF Browns hanging.
1t might be we'll TO mention that two
Of the three trials for treason in this
country have been held in the
Charles Town courthouse,
Famous Hardwood
To Washington motorists there Is
a peculiar attraction to Hardwood,
the home of Mrs. George Steptoe

Todd became the bride of James
Madison. later President OF the
United States.
From Charles Town the rout"
home leads through Rerryville and
then on to the Lee-Jackson High

distance he can see the rich acres
Of Virginia spread before him.
II the trip is made now the tour
ist will come to realization OF
the tedious labor which goes into
the making OF the roads over which
he drives so speedily and with such
little thought. Near the little town
of Aide, about 80 miles from Wash.
ington, che State is busy repairing
the road for his delectation.
No detour Is possible and It Is
necessary that the road be kept In
use. The State, as most know, uses
its convicts for laborOn the roads,
A gang OF several hundred Is en-
gagged in this job. and as the motor
ist drives throught he is greeted
with low-voiced pleas of "please
give us a cigarette" AS his car
drives on there is generally seen a
shower Of cigarettes from one of
the windows.

about a mile, but when the task is
completed, It will be worth IT, for
several curves are being straight.
ened out and spots, once rough, are
being made smooth.
Improved Road
Once through Aldie the tourist ap-
proaches Middleburg. All this while
he is driving over an improvement
OF the road which was used so ex-
tensively by both tho Confederate
and Federal forces In the struggle
to preserve the union.

ton In 1855 as defense against the
French and Indians.
The structure is now a prosaic
apartment and rooming house, but
this cannot detract from tbs his.
toric significance.
Then, too, one should visit the
little structure where Washington
made his headquarters while he
was building the fort. Carefully
preserved the old stone building
still stands. It was at this point
that the army of General Braddock
which left Alexandria April ., 1855.
moved against the French and In
dians. the movement which led to
the general recognition of Wash.
ington as military commander.
At Fort Loudoun one may see the
old we'll which Washington dug
through 105 feet of limestone. He
named the fort after the com.
mander-in-chlef of the British forces
In America at the time.
Filled With History
Almost every structure In Win.
chester has a history. The town
itself was the shuttlecock of the
forces OF the Civil War, being cap.
tured and recaptured many times
by the Confederates and Federa1s.
Cannon ball house Is one of these
places cannon ball having
passed completely through the
structure during the war.
Even the most casual tourist,
however, must spend a minute at
the Stonewall Cemetery ami the
National Cemetery. In the Stone
wall Cemetery are the graves of
nearly 5000 soldiers OF the Confed-
eracy, including those of S29 un,
known dead.
Within a radius of 25 miles of
Winchester more than 100 engage
ments took place during the Civil
War, and the National Cemetery
was established as last resting
place for those who. wearing the
blue, fell In these combats. More
than 1000 OF these are buried in
the cemetery, 2.O00 OF them being
unidentified.
But, to tell Of the teeming history
or Winchester would require
volumes, and to see 1t would take
nours, so the tourist must drive
on If he Is to reach Berkeley
Springs.
From Winchester the tour swings
north to Martinsburg, and soon the
traveller has passed into West Vir.
ginia. incidentally he is soon in
the center of industrial activity.
Martinsburg Is proud of the fact
The Washington times., 1929-08-03

that within its city limits Is to be
found the largest sock factory In
the world.
The mills of the town give employ
ment to thousands and the COM
munity Is justly proud Of its COM
mercial activity, as we'll as Of its
widely advertised water supply.
Recently the city dedicated a
| monument marking the site on
which once stood the RED House, 4"
home Of Edward Beeson, where
Berkeley county was formed from
a party of Frederick county, Va.
The government OF the county was
authorized by Lord Dunmore and
among its commissioners was Col
Samuel Washington.
Enters the Foothills
Moving out of Martinsburg the
tourist comes upon what Is probably
the most beautiful part of the trip
from a scenic standpoint. He
enters the foothills of the Allegheny
Mountains, passing over the North
Mountains a short distance out of
Martinsburg.
West Virginia seems to be more
interested in the welfare of tourists
than its sister State, for, in it, the
roads are much more carefully
marked. Every turn and hill is
plainly marked for the motorist, a
thing that Is almost unknown In
Virginia.
Over the Black Creek, the tourist
finds that the present wooden
bridge. narrow and uncertain, is
being replaced by q modern struc-
much more pleasant.
Just outside Martinsburg, the
country as seen from the beautiful
winding road abounds in carefully
laid-out apple orchards. AS one
progresses. however. this man-made
routine is sUpplanted by the care
less hand Of a bounteous nature
and the road leads through virgin
forests.
At one stretch for nearly a mile
the road Is overhung by the
branches of these nature-planted
trees; 30 oVerhung, in fact, that,

ceptional opportunity to view long
vistas.
1t is said that George Washing

staff of Lord Fairfax, first dis
covered the springs Of Berkeley in
174s. He mentions having called to
see Eve famed warm springs" In
his diary. Shortly after, in 1875,
the town site Of Bath was estab-
lished.
It was named after the famous
spa of the British Isles. With the

In the old courthouse, recently
remodeled with the addition Of a
wing, he goes back to' colonial
history. Here he finds the last will
and testament of George Washing
ton. 1t is guarded 1ealously but the
authorities are ever willing to dis
play it to the seeker of knowledge
or the inquiring tourist.
The beautiful grounds or the
courthouse tell Of other incidents
in the history of the nation. Here
is found a tablet marking the site
where fell John @. Mari, of the War
renton Rifles, the first man killed
in action in the Civil War, he hay
ing met his death In, June, 1861.
Upon these same grounds, within
a short distance of Marr tablet, ls
found the answer OF the town Of
Fairfax to the question Of division
of the Civil War days-it 10 an i'm
pressive stone which bears a tablet
sraved with the names of those
who in the World War laid down
their lives in sacrifice to a united
nation.
Going out Of Fairfax the tourist
enters on the broad stretches Of the
Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway, a
road of which the State Of Virginia
may well be proud. For q while
the thought Of being still In the
suburbs Of Washington is retained.
Give Way to Farms
But q few miles out Of Fairfax
the clustered houses give way to
the rolling acres of the farm, and
shortly the tourist realizes that he
Is really under way.
The hills that he encounters are
frequent but not steep, and In the

Fourty-four miles out Of Washing
ton one reaches Middleburg, capital
of those who raise fast and depend.

ings of numerous stock farms dot
the scenery and impress on one that
in some places the horse still reigns
as king.
Just a mile or two out OF Middle
town are the farm and stables of

while flier and now contented raiser
OF fine horses and cattle.
Although only a small town, Mid.

'JacksOn's Bivouac"
Going on the tourist Is reminded
that he is still In the country doni-
mated by the horse when he reaches
the fair grounds at Upperville.
A short distance beyond he comes
to "Jackson's Bivouac." While
Jackson was leading his men to the
first battle of Manassas they fell
here, too exhausted to march further.
SO tired were the men that it was
impossible even to find the necessary

u. S. RELATIONS SEEN
INVOLVED In RAID
Advices Say Seizures Made al
Soviet Consulate Included
American Seals.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, June 11.-DispatcheS
from Hardin given out yesterday by the
japanese Toho News Agency state that
Russo american and Russo-Japanese
relations are likely to become involved
in consequence of the Chinese raid
made on the Soviet consulate at Hardin
on May 81.
The advices said that among the
seizures made by the Chinese were
japanese official envelopes and papers
bearing stamps and seals of the Ameri-
can and Japanese consulates. The be-
lief in Hardin, the dispatches declare,
was that these seals were used for eff
fecting communications among Com
munistS or for use in connection with
passports or correspondence between
the American and Japanese consulates
and their home governments.
The Soviet officials declared that
these alleged stamps and seals were
planted" by the Chinese prior to the
raid.
The Toho News Agency is widely con-
sidered as a semi-official news agency.
