New Jersey Boys End
 1000 Hours in Tree

News that will probably be sad news for New Britain's two cham pion tree sitters, Harold Morley and Michael Kowalczyk, who had been up in a tree for S37 hours at 2 o'clock this noon, came from New York today.
 Two boys in Camden, N. J., whose names are Eugene Heck, 14, and Arthur Sochacki, 13, con- pleted 1000 hours in a. tree at 10 a. m., Wednesday, and expect to stay up until the day school opens. The article did not state when the schools open in Cam den, but if they open next Tues- day. the local boys can break their record by staying up until the schools open in New Britain. In case the schools in Camden do not open until September s, and the boys stay until that day, the New Britain boys will not have a. national record. despite their hardihood and tenacity in stick ing to their tree perch.

TINY ISLANDS
/ TO Be CENTER
OF RUM RINGS
New Canada Law to Make
Smuggling Industry Take
to Atlantic.
BY CECIL OWEN,
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June g. Two
tiny French islands of the coast
of Newfoundland in the North At
lantic are soon to become the major
center of operations for rum run
ners smuggling liquor into the
United States from Canada, treas
ury officials said today.
AS a result of the new Canadian
law prohibiting legal liquor exports
for the United States from Domin-
ion ports, the rum runners are be-
ing forced from the Great Lakes
and are diverting their extensive
liquor traffic by way of St. Pierre
and Miquelon.
Reports to treasury officials
charged with prevention of SNUG
Cling indicate that thousands of
cases of valuable Canadian liquor
soon will be leaving the French col
ony for the United States over the
smuggling route along the North
Atlantic coast.
THE reported shift in rum run
ner operations rom the great lakes
area, particularly about Detroit and
Buffalo, means that the coast guard
will have to marshal its forces on
the Atlantic coast" Rear Admiral
F. G. Billiard, commandant, said to-
day. mo definite plans have yet
been evolved, but we are fully pre-
pared to meet the situation as it
arises"

roads west were paved it was decided
to do the same with the old pike. 1t
has been slow work, although the
grade and line of the old road has
been followed closely, and as soon as
the last two miles of dirt road thru
Grafton, w. Va, are paved the old
turnpike will be through hard
surfaced road from Winchester to the
Ohio.
If Colonel Crozet's shade is hover

as he laid it out and built it over a

burg, West Va.
AS Colonel Crozet and his aides
stood on the eastern bank of the Ohio
river and looked back toward the At
lantic Ocean they experienced the
satisfaction that comes of a hard job
well done. They had not underesti-
mated the current value of the new
road as tap root from the rich and
undeveloped West to the markets of
the East, but the future value of the
road as an aid to the growth and de-
velopment of the United States was to
transcend their widest dreams. 1t
was one of the major arteries be-
tween East and West and the pulse
of life already throbbed up and down
it's entire length of PAL miles, steadily
if not strongly.
Covered wagons, carrying women,
children, household furnishings and
farm implements moved westward
over the new road. Men, ever on the
lookout for hostile Indians, rode on
horses or trudged on foot beside them
Older boys-and sometimes girls
drove herds of lean and leathery cat
tie. Traders, settlers, farmers, hunt
ers, adventures, and soldiers they
were, and their wagon trains creaked
and rolled over the mountains in
clouds of dust-ever on toward the
West-the land of opportunity.
Later raw materials and cattle were
brought back over the road to Eastern
manufacturing cities, and in time
stage-coach lines were inaugurated
Coaches ran over the Northwestern
turnpike on regular schedule and this
new means of rapid transport created
demand for inns and hostelries to
accommodate the travellers. Many inns
sprung up along the road, and it was
the day of rapid travel between the
East and the Ohio river.
When gold was discovered in Cali.
fornia the Northwestern turnpike wit.
messed it's first great rush of frenziec
humans to the far West. Men, womer
and children from every walk of life
passed along the road in wagons anc
in carts, on horseback and on foot-al
eager to get rich. The romance Of
gold and the West drew them as irres
istibly as magnet. The inns ant
hostelries waxed fat on the increased
volume of trade it brought. Larger
more comfortable and more preten
tious buildings were erected to take
