Spring to Carpet Holland
With Bright Tulip Blooms

up and down the land special displays
are being planned. For Holland takes
no chances CT disappointing the trav-
elers who come to see its acreo and
acres of brightly colored flowers,
stretching away in a multi-colored
carpet as far as the eye can see.
Harlem has an additional distinc-
ton as garden spot in this land Of
gardens. 1t is the one place in all the
country where hyacinths can be raised
to perfection, and on warm days they
fill the air with a fragrance so sweet
that 1t is almost overpowering. The
soil on which these bulbs are grown is
so precious that 1t sells for as much
as $1,000 an acre, about half the price
OF an entire average farm in the
American Middle West, and even then
buyers find it almost impossible to OBJ
tain any.
Flowers and bulbs have lost much OF
their romance for Hollanders, but To
visitors they remain one of the coun-
try's great attractions.

SHIP-CAR- -BY-RAIL .
POPULARITY GAINS
Method Especially Convenient
for West Coast
Tourists.

Ship your car by rail" has be-
come more than slogan to many
travellers; it has developed into a
means of safe, rapid, comfortable
travel over long distances, yet with
the advantages Of having ones own
car at destination. ready to go on
local trips without resting for several
days from the fatigue Of a trans
continental motor trip.
The ship your car" plan has
reached a state of convenience and
efficiency which permits the Cali
fornia-bound tourist to drive to the
nearest freight station; deliver the car
TO the agent, uncrated; allow a few
days more than ones own rail Journey
in streamlined trains will consume,
and call at the railroads office at Los
Angeles. San Francisco, Seattle or
elsewhere upon arrival, and the car
will probably be standing In the shed
ready to be driven off.
The cost is only slightly more than
| that of a one-way ticket on the over
land route to San Francisco; the Gold
en- State route to Los Angeles, or the
Burlington-Great Northern line to the
North Coast cities.

DUBLIN, March 6.-Througout all
ireland lively celebrations, solemn
ceremonies, joys and sorrows will cast
their spell for st. Patrick on March
II, and the festivals promise to be OF
intense interest to visitors.
Dublin will usher in st. Patrick's
day by a military parade up o'con-
nell street, past Trinity College, where
the priceless illuminated manuscript.
the Book of Armagh" containing the
life of st. Patrick and written by
himself. will be on display. At the
National Museum the Bell of st. Pat
rick" known as the Shrine Of the
Bell" VIII be the scene of an impress
sive ceremonial. The city will take
on the aspects of a holiday, with
marching clubs, societies and members
of state adding their uniforms Of color
to a city beautifully decorated for
the occasion.
On st. Patrick's day the City Of
Armagh becomes the heart of all cele-
brations, and is the focal point Of
hundreds Of pilgrimages. Passing the
Boyne Valley en- route from Belfast
to County Armagh, '"The Land of st.
Patrick" the traveller envisages the
ancient pre- Christian civilization of
Ireland, but at Armagh, the Canter-
bury and ecclesiastical capital of Ire
land, st. Patrick made the pulpit
mightier than the sword.
Armagh is a pleasing town of quiet
prosperity. It is the ecclesiastical CEN
ter of the country, and is the seat of
both the Catholic and Protestant pri-
mates Of Ireland. Many believe that
Armagh's Seven Hills, like Rome, at
tracted him, for he was of Roman par
entage. His choice of Armagh. as
Erin's intellectual center, has many
legends. and all historians agree that
King Oriels conversion to Christianity
Influenced his selection Of the North
Ireland district.
Armagh is overflowing with recol-
lections and visible remembrances Of
the patron saint, and has an old
world flavor, with many reminders Of
the hoary past. st. Patrick's well is
situated near tie famous Cellen Bridge
founded in 1908 on the Old Coach
road, where King Mall Caille was
drowned in 846. as a warning to in
vaders, famed in verse as the Way
to Western Ireland" and is near the
Royal College, which carries on the
work Of the original school founded

feeling of unspoiled nature, sense
of unbreathed air, a freshness and
purity that Is new and delightful.
Strange to American eyes will be the
numerous wooden utensils carved by
the industrious Films, who can fur.
nish a house by using an axe. a
knife and felled tree. Bowls, mugs,
forks, spoons and countless other
things are whitfield from a special
type of cedar.
Wood carving Is an art for which
Finland's forests and long Winter
evenings furnish more than inspira-
ton. Everybody carves. A popular
line is that of little models showing
the shaggy hulk of a bear threaten
ing forester, an isolated farmer or a
lone fisherman.
Illiterate Denied Marriage.
The illiterate are not permitted to
marry in Finland. Thus a favorite
carving is that of a girl carrying a
wooden pail of water to her simple
log cabin. She frowns furiously at
her young man. who has just con-
fessed that he has failed his exam
ination on the little primer he is
carrying. So their wedding must be
put of until he can read and write.

~ ROADLY speaking, America
- has four eras of epochs of
folklore-the land of the
- Pilgrims, Colonial days, the
winning of the West and ante bellum
Dixie. They have become legends
now, bathed in hallowed glow that
becomes brighter as the eras them

Noticeable OF late Is the growing

Much of it can be attributed to the
Interior Departments zeal in preserv-

And, fortunately, the past Is not
all legend. Some of it still can be

little pockets that retain and cher sh

IT is not that progress has passed
Natchez by. It has factories, is
served by four railroads and as many
bus lines. It has good landing field
for planes, is still river port OF
importance. But advancement during
the last seven or eight decades has
not swept away all the beauty and
charm of the old, deep South.
Natchez, in this respect. lives in the
past. and each year, when Spring
awakens the azaleas and the ia
ponicas, it beckons to the world to
come and see the grandeur in which
it lived prior to the War Between the
States.
The war touched Natchez at the
height of its glory. 1t had grown from
little fort, Rosalie, established by
Bienville in 17l6. Cotton became
king and the South rich. Scions OF
noble families settled in and around
Natchez, built spreading mansions and
