Times Readers Give Views
on Ideal Ways to
Take Rest.

The call for a word from the
"gallivanters" brought response to-
day in The Times vacation letter
contest.
Tourists camps and highway
maps may not sound as interesting
to some as a shady, backyard ham
mock, but here's what Mrs William
B. Corder, of 1892 ThaddeuS street,
thinks about it:
Here's my idea of happy care
free and altogether joyous vacation:
Get the old bus out of the garage
and leave your cares behind you.
Eat when you get hungry at some
wayside stand. And when night
falls, stop at a tourists camp and
sleep out under the stars. Awake
after refreshing rest to find the
sun shining in your face and that
empty gnawing feeling in your
tummy. Then start another day of
riding and eating and eating and
riding. Lead the life of a gypsy for
week or two and your vacation
will have been well spent"
IRON Claire Williams, AS Berk-
Il ley Road-dy best vacation was
spent in the foothills of the historic
AdirondackS near the camp where
President and Mrs. Coolidge
rested one summer. The invigorat-
ing pine-laden air kept me con-
stantly hungry, and the lazy, blue
mountain haze was conducive to
sleep. The camp was built of logs
and the birch furniture and Indian
rugs added to the rustic effect The
porch, overhanging the lake, was an
ideal place to watch the moonlight
sparkle on the water, to relax from
the hustle Of modern life and dream
about the days when the Indians
of Cooper's Leather Stocking Tales
inhabited these mountains.

 Mr. Mitchell says he thinks no men in these posts should drink under any circumstances" that United

 Letter Significant
 The arrival of this letter. seeming to present q justice department pro-
 gram in the selection of United States marshals. has elevated the : | fications of Mr. Walter to q possible seriousness that was not manifest earlier. Borah is likely to ask the justice department for q report on ! Marshal Walter and his record Senator Norris of Nebraska. chair man of the judiciary committee, suid yesterday he had not read the pro- test but that it is q matter of routine to appoint q subcommittee to con- sidcr any protested nomination. Mr. Norris also said that if the sub-com mttcc thinks Walter is a wet even that of itself would not mean an ad- verse report on him.
 Senator Borah, head of the sub committee which is comprised of ] StciWcr of Oregon. and Robinson of 1 Indiana, republicans, said that since he has been named chairman he will want to know something of Walters record. Nr. Borah could not say whether his examination will develop 1 into hearings. at which Walter and others would testify here.

by Senators Bingham and Walcott, representatives Tenn and other members of the congressional dele gation. Last night MT. Walcott said this is the first time he had heard of the protest and did not care to comment.
 The letter from the Rev AIr Wheeler, written more than eight years ago, says that "Alr. Walter was elected to our state legislature in 1918 by the wet element of Chesh ire and he voted against approving the Eighteenth Amendment" IL notes 1921 newspaper reports that Senators Brandegec and Mclean had recommended the appointment of Walter and stated that both of those senators had voted against the anti beer bill" The letter was written to the then Prohibition Commissioner Roy Haynes and was forwarded by him to the justice department and by the latter 10 the senate commit. tee.
 In addition 10 the letter of Atlor- ncY-Gcneral Mitchell the committed. :; action in naming a sub committee 10 study Walters rcappointmcnt in wolves several details that command attention here.
 Speculation Aroused
 In the first place. why was the oightycar protest rcsurrected at this time when it had apparently been ignored when Walter was first appointed and later reappointcd in 1926? The answer to this may be that the committee under Mr. Norris is acting under more careful proceed urc than it did under his predcccs- sOrS. Senators Nelson and CummiuS.
 In the second place. Senator Bor- ah. yesterday named chairman of the subcommittee. had recently en- phatically declared that the person. ncl having to do with prohibition en- forcemcnt should be revamped so that the officials are more efficient. and. presumably, in sympathy with the dry law. The question is raised whether Mir. Borah will take the Walter case to apply this theory and if so, whether his investigation will cause him to criticize the proposed rcappointmcnt
