NRA Hours Get Blame
for Workers. Absences
From Home.

By United Press
UTASHINGTON, Aug. 3d.
w Several recovery administra-
ton workers have found it diff
ficult to explain to wives or
mothers that the sole reason they
come home late at night is be-
cause of the long hours they must
put in to get the rest Of the
country on a forty-hour week.
One tired official left his office
at a. m. Sunday. He found his
parked automobile hard to start.
Utterly exhausted he slumped
over the wheel. When he awoke
1t was dawn. He spent Sunday
explaining TO his wife.
a young clerks mother had her
suspicious about his long hours.
Finally last Sunday, after he had
told her he had to work all day,
she decided TO find out for herself.
She came down in the early eve
ming. apparently hopeful her
suspicious were warranted. There
was her son, shirt-sleeved and
perSpiring, at work.

Beautiful Scenery Reward
of Visitor to Noted
State Park.
BY STURGE WELLS
Times Automobile Editor.

This weeks tour, made in new
Ford va, through the courtesy of
r. A. Hayes, manager of the Indian
apolis branch of the Ford Motor
Company, included a visit to one Of
Indiana's most picturesque parks,
the Shades.
Taking route "a out of Indian
apolis and continuing through Pitts
boro to jamestown, where 234 in
tersects and offers a short cut to the
Shades, we decided to take advan-
tage of the shorter route rather than
continue on to Charlottesville and
down by route At.
While the route we decided upon
probably is shorter, we discovered
too late, much to our chagrin, that
234, like many gravel roads, badly
in need of reconditioning, was very
rough and resembled pair of cor
duroy trousers" rather than a good
highway.
Even so, it was found that many
motorists prefer this road, possibly
because it takes one back closer to
the "soil' and life on the farm.
In one respect, this route has it's
advantages, in that, it enables the
owner of a new car to determine
whether his latest choice "can take
it," This reasoning worked out fine
in our case, for it was quite sur
prise to find how well the new.
Ford va could take such punish
ment at moderate and also very
high speeds.
Ones first impression Of the
shades is something rather hard to
describe. Possibly the late William
Jennings Bryan, who is accredited
with making the following COM
ments on his first visit to this
scenic resort, covered it about as
we'll as any scribe ever has. Said
Mr. Rrvan. "I am SURPRISED TO find

In the mythical kingdom of Syl-

Black Door, or the firing squad for
the condemned, had been inaugu-
rated by the ancient King Vulcan
the First.
The secret of this black door had
been inviolately passed on from
commander to commander until the
present time. On this fairy lore the
plot of the movie is based. Captain
Paul Statler, able air force ace, for
Sakes duty for love, and when court
martialed, has to take the dreadful
choice.
BY an obvious chain of circum-
stances he learns that his beloved
has been the mistress of his COM
mander, and rather than take her
advice-the Black Doors opening to
freedom and no mystery. he prefers
to face the tune of the rifles. The
story, laid in a GrauStarkian prin-

background of high military officials,
exotic ladies and gay life.

part in bridge.
Before starting in on the play Of

standing cards.
A careful analysis may show you
that there is danger in the distri-

as there might be a singleton in
one hand or the other.

The Shades such a picturesque
spot. 1t is glimpse Of the noun
tains in the very midst of the
prairie. It's springs, its deep ra-
vines, its overhanging rocks, its
waterfalls, and it's great oaks COM
bine to make it a most attractive
place for rest and recreation"
While this description is brief, in
my opinion, it ably covers the ac-
tual mass impression Of an observ-
ing person, possessing an interest
for the wonders of nature in their
most beautiful form-"in the raw. "
Indians Roved Country
Going back to the romantic days
when the Indians roved the greater
part of this section of the country,
this place was known to them as
the Shades of Death" owing to its
many mysterious ravines and dense
forests.
1t is said that the Redskins" took
to this retreat, and remained there
long after they vacated the sur
rounding part of the country, be-
cause white men feared to invade
this black forest, which they thought
possessed unknown terrors for any
one who dared to invade its inner
most regions.
Interesting and romantic trails
have been mapped out in and
around the many ravines, gorgeS
and winding rock formations of this
2,000-acre reservation, which is re-
puted to be the largest privately
owned park in the state, as well as
one of the largest bird and small
game sanctuaries.
From beneath huge cliffs flow
many mineral springs which form
beautiful cascades as they wend
their way toward the river Accord
ing to the management of the
Shades, the waters of these springs
have been analysed and found to
possess medical properties for res
toration Of a system exhausted by
mental and physical strain.
Plant Life InrIVeS
Trees, flowers and plant life in
general thrive abundantly here.
Many of the trees resemble tall SEN
tinels, so often seen in the larger
forests in other parts of this coun-
try. These trees are the pride of
the Garland Dell Mineral Springs
Association, which claims that they
have been preserved in their vir-
ginal growth, and never has one been
sacrificed for commercial purposes.
Typical of such scenic resorts, are
numerous cottages and cabins avail
able for guests wishing to spend d
few days. However, if more elabor-
ate accommodations are desired,
there is a large white hotel of the
rambling type, which possesses am
pie sleeping quarters, and like most
of these kind of hotels, Specializes
in serving dinners to daily visitors.
Picnic grounds and a limited
number of amusements make up the
greater part of the immediate park
itself, and should appeal to the
large Sunday family outing with
restless children!
