Huge Preserve Planned

7 OUISVILLE. KY, November
- N.AN.AD.-As today's dream
begets tomorrow's reality, so may the
plan of Col. j. P. Barney. commander
of the Civilian Conservation Corps at
Fort Knox, 80 miles from here, place
one of the greatest game preserves in
the country at Louisville's elbow.
Col. Barney envisions a gradual
extension of the Fort Knox Game
Sanctuary from its present 5000 acres
to include the entire $4,000 acres in
the reservation.
A dam which is expected to create
lake of IS acres is nearing COM
pletion in the western sector of the
reservation. Only the finishing touches
remain to be put on a smaller dam
to make a similar hole for civilians
and soldiers, and breeding pond for
fish. Howard's Pond, almost in the
center of the reservation, has been
cleared of cat-tails. reeds and other
unsuitable vegetation and planted
with duck potatoes" to attract
waterfowl and improve it for the
breeding Of bass.
The most ambitious part of Col
Barney's plan calls for building q
natural" dam across the Mill Creek
Valley to create Q lake extending
nearly two milek up the valley.

Sunken Gardens will be seen from
glass bottom boats.
The link between the west and
east coast will be made by motor bus
across the State from Tampa Bay,
circling Florida's beautiful lake dis
trict en- route to West Palm Beach.

fashionable resorts, Miami will be
visited, with three days allotted for
the city's attractions, beaches and
environs. From Miami. the tour will
follow the east coast northward

coast The scenic West Lake Wales,
Box Tower and Babson Park regions
are to be seen in Tour No. 3, which
reaches the east coast resorts from
Ocala, crossing the State from West
Palm Beach by combination rail and
motor to ST. Petersburg. The five
major diversified tours are planned to
bring all parts of the State within
easy access of the travellers, with the
optional itineraries allowing prefer
ence as to the resort regions to be

Expects Big Season

KEY WEST, Fla, November O.
~ This little island city. ITO miles
from the Florida mainland. is prepar-
ing for what in all probability will
be its banner tourist year.
Many persons have been struck with
the charm of the place and have been
affected by its magnetic appeal. They
come, some times out of sheer curl
osity, to see this spot of coral covered
with exotic flora of hundreds of va
rieties, and then remain, instead of
day or week, weeks and months.
From one end of old Duval street to
the other-from the Atlantic to the
Gulf Of Mexico-is heard the boast
of the most equitable climate in the
United States, where frost is un-
known and outdoor sports await the
Winter visitor.
Although a Labor day hurricane
destroyed part of the railway track
and bed of the oversee Railway, the
Island City is far from inaccessible.
Comfortable 16-passenger planes oper-
ate regularly out of Miami to Key
West; ferries ply daily over that
stretch Of oversee highway which is
not completed, offering the tourist
and his automobile an opportunity to
take trip over the open sea, and
passenger steamers operate tri-weekly
from Miami and Tampa into Key
West.
Much of the city's anticipation of a
good tourist season is based on the
large number of visitors who were
here last year who plan to return for
longer stays this Winter. They are
bringing others with them.
The vanguard of the visitors already
is here.

pertinent with still another travel
producing idea this winter-low ex-
cursion fares to and from the Pacific

Vacation travel heretofore has been
regarded primarily as summer
proposition, and the lowest excursion
fares have been offered only during
the Summer season. The western
lines now propose to popularize Win
ter vacation travel, and in that way
to keep their new and expensive
equipment busy during what has for
nlerly been accepted as the of-season.
The first of the Winter excursion

fares to the Pacific Coast for pas
sengers in Pullman sleeping cars will
go into effect December /, it was
announced.
Travellers will have six months
within which to complete their va
cations and the option of using diff
ferent routes for their trips in each
direction. This will make it possible
to include both the Pacific Northwest

marlin, wahoo, tuna, bonita, barra-
cuda, amberjack and rockflsh, in addi-
ton to special prizes for the largest
fish caught on light and heavy regu-
lation tackle.
1t is only during the past 10 months
that the Bermuda government has
seriously attempted to develop big
game fishing in the islands. There is
much conjecture as to just what fish
may be caught of Bermuda, although
visiting fishermen as well as natives
of the islands feel certain many spec
tacular fish are to be found here.
Marlin have been seen, good many
big tuna have been caught, and some
fishing experts express the belief that
sailfish are also present. Baby tuna
abound in all the surrounding waters.
A recent experience Of fisherman
indicates the lively time Bermudas s
fish afford. A bonita struck Harrison
Outerbridge's line and jerked him into
the sea. He clambered back into the
boat and the eager fish then took
the rod. After finally rescuing his
rod, he succeeded in landing the fish.
This particularly aggressive bonita
weighed only five pounds!

Strange Isle On Route

NEW YORK, November 9.-The
members of the Raymond Whit
comb South Sea Islands cruise of
the coming Winter, in the NJ. S.
Stella Polaris. will visit the in
accessible island of Mas. where every
village has its jumping stone" seven
or eight feet high, over which the
young men must leap to qualify as
warriors. Few persons know Mas
even by name. and probably only three
or four hundred pleasure travellers
have actually seen it, for no pas
senger steamers go there and only
two earlier cruises have touched it.
Mas. which is one Of the Dutch
East Indies. is one of the most re-
markable islands in the world. Its
history has baff1ed students. and, al
though several theories have been
offered to account for its customs and
culture, all that is known for a GER
tainty is that at some very remote
time settlers of undetermined origin
came here and through many GEN.
turies. cut of from the rest of the
world, developed their own laws and
art and civilization.
On ancient maps of the East Indies
Mas appears as the Island of Gold"
and as far back as $50 AID. a Mo-
hammedan trader wrote of its great
treasure of gold. Today there is still
an astonishing amount of gold to be
seen there in ornaments, beads. brace
lets and gold leaf decorations. Golden
ornaments must be made for every
bride and bridegroom, with the re-
suit that much of the gold in private
families is melted and fashioned into
new articles once in every generation.
Besides this the local chiefs all have
their state jewels"-coats of mail
covered with sheets of solid gold.
"krises" with golden hilts or sheaths,
umbrellas with golden bands, heavy
earrings and necklaces.
The villages were built for protec-
tion. on hilltops as difficult to reach
as possible. The "kampongs" consist
usually of a single broad street which
is paved with large fiat stones. Here,

jumping stone, seven or eight feet
high, built like small section Of
strong stone wall and often carved.
In the single village street or court
the communal life of the village CEN
ters. Here the chief sits in great
carved seat and settles disputes and
gives judgment in trials, and the
warriors leap over the jumping
stone" to keep in trim, and dance
their ancestral dances.
Some warriors have a strange armor
of sheet metal which remotely sug-
gests the military costumes of me-
dieval Europe. Warfare has been re-
duced to a minimum under the Dutch
rule, but chiefs still keep up their
companies of trained fighting men,
and war dances and sham battles are
the expression of their militant spirit.
Members of the cruise will be spec
tators at some of these dances and
mock battles and jumping exhibitions.

AS wintry winds moan through the

Florida'S warmth and air, but he also

section the air is to be filled with the
pungent smell of pines.

ELORIDIANS rarely come North in
the Winter, although many of
them take advantage of the popu-

over their homes to visitors. On the
eve of a great season, delayed only by
a rare poSt-season hurricane, Miami
residents have taken to a new roost,
some fretting in cramped quarters
that tourists from the North can have
the space and the fun-and also a
rent bill. The fair weather makes
almost any type OF structure do, and
many owners simply move into rooms
over garages fitted as temporary quar-
tiers for such prosperous invasions.
