The motive behind the Vitale dinner holdup is alleged to have been the securing of a murder contract in the possession of a Chicago gangster who was a guest at the dinner. The dinner was arranged, the unknowing Chicagoan was "put on the spot" ," and when the holdup men went through the pockets of the guests the contract was among the loot.
 This contract called for S20.000 and is believed to have had some reference to the killing of Frankie

There are more features of conspicuous gran
deur in the national parks Of the United States
than are readily accessible in all the rest of
the world together, while, considered individu-
ally, there are few, If any, celebrated scenic
places within easy reach abroad which are not
equaled or excelled in America. At the same
time there are many features of American seem
cry which are not to be found anywhere else or,
If found, are unequaled abroad in sublimity or
beauty. There more geysers of large size
in our Yellowstone National Park, for instance,
it is pointed out by the National Park Service,
than in all the rest of the world together, the
nearest approach being the geyser fields of Ice
land and New Zealand. Again, it is conceded
the world over that there is no valley in ex-
istence so strikingly beautiful Yosemite, and
nowhere can be found a canyon of such stu
pendous size and exquisite coloring as the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado In the Sequoia
National Park grow trees so huge and old that
none quite compare with them.
TT has not been many years since the auto
mobile was admitted to the national parks,
previous objection having been on the ground
that it would interfere with the stage-coach
routes in the reservations and further that it
would frighten or kill many Of the wild animals
in the parks The newest transportation prob
lem in the national parks is now presented by
the airplane. Up to the present time the Ma
tional Park Service has not permitted the con-
struction of permanent landing fields within
park areas, upon the ground that aviation Is
still in its experimental stage and that until
more safeguards could be assured to the public
in this mode Of travel, 1t could not be sane
toned.
But Horace NJ Albright, director Of the Ma
tional Park Service, makes the prediction that
the airplane probably in the near future viii
become an accepted means Of transportation TO
various parks, If not within them. This ques-
ton is being studied not only by Government
officials but also by others interested IN the
subject. Several years ago sightseeing trips
over the Grand Canyon, which have become
very popular with visitors to that park, were
inaugurated, and trips across the canyon are
made daily.

The Secretary of Agriculture under a recent

of ginning have been handicapped by lack of

They are becoming great centers Of nature

The barberry acts as a host to the black

attacks the grain In the Spring. Should the
weather be damp and musty so much the
better for the rust.
The results Of the eradication work have been
so encouraging that local cooperation Is be-

with the development Of rust-resistant varieties
Of wheat, Is expected to 60 long way toward

RESIDENT HOOvER'S decision to
spend his vacation during the month
! of August in visit to q number OF
the national parks in the Rocky
Mountain region Is one which should
be emulated by all good Americans who can
Sind it possible to do so. t4st
The President will make his tour by auto
snobile travelling by easy stages from one park
to another, after spending short time in each
Of those visited He will start in the North and
work South, beginning with Glacier National
Park Montana, whose northern line Is the Ca
madam border; then down to the Yellowstone,
carved out of the Northwestern corner of Wyo-
ming, and the Grand Teton" just south of the
Yellowstone and made into national park
only last year. From this point the presidential
party will proceed south to the Rocky Mountain
National Park, which lies short distance
northwest of Denver. Following the national
park to- park highway the President will then
go on through Colorado, New Mexico and Ari-
iona to the Mesa Verde and the Grand Canyon
National Parks; and then on the Sequoia and
Yosemite Parks in California.
The early part of the Summer the President
plans to spend in Washington, making such
frequent week end trips as his duties permit TO
his fishing camp on the Rapidan or other
nearby points In most of the national parks
where he will pitch his camp temporarily the
President will find convenient trout streams
well supplied with fish, in which to satisfy his
piscatorial yearning.

proved. In a very short time she
was feeling stronger and looking
better in every way, and she be-
gan to eat food that she had not

no bad after effect. She gained in
weight and a few weeks after she
began using this medicine, she
went in town shopping for the

longer takes pills or other harsh
laxatives, looks better in every
way and I must admit that Mil,

her case to be superior to the
many other medicines we tried.
