and Jorge Santani Of his own native
Dominican Republic. George H. Will
son Of Warrington, played the accom-
paniments in his usual good form,
giving support but not obtruding the
piaao part, and always with the proper
value to the rhythm.
The work Of the band last evening
was very gratifying and in addition
to the excellent work in the Latin
American music, Capt. Benter and
his men are to be commended for
their stirring. spirited playing Of "The
Star Spangled Banner" at the close
Of the program. The arrangement
used last evening has an elaborate
establishment in the middle part
which Is very effective.
A waltz from Latin America Is not
often heard and "Besos y Pesos" by
A. Martinez of Mexico, which the
band played, has not only the Ian
guid and graceful rhythm OF the
waltz, but also has . pretty theme
enhanced by = generous use Of the
harp in tho band arrangement. The
tone poem, Hymn to the Sun" by
Daniel H. Robes Of Peru, has . de-
votional quality In the beginning and
works into q climax which the band
made the most of last evening. Among
Evening star., 1937-07-16

the other compositions Of note were
the symphonic suite "Himno q la
Paz" by Pedro E. Gutierrez OF Ven
ezuela and the symphonic poem THE
Funeral Of Little Rabbit" which
the composer, M. de Adolia y Camera
Of Honduras, has dedicated to Capt.
Benter.
Other numbers were played by mem
bers OF the band, an unusual trio "Sere-
nata" by Sixto M. Duran OF Ecuador,
we'll played by William Cameron, harp,
Salvatore Perrone, xylophone, and
Louis Goucher, vibraphone, and a
cornet solo with band accompani-
ment, "Por Tu Amor" by A. Diaz
Chavez Of Mexico, played delightfully."-
by Oscar Short.
Preceding the playing OF the "star
Spangled Banner" three picturesque
Mexican singers were presented, Los
Tres Ranchero, who are guests Of the
Mexican Ambassador. They wore
their gay native costumes with wide
sombreros and played their own &C
compartments on guitar-lke Mexican
instruments. Their songs were popular

marks the northern extremity Of the
park. Later, about 10 miles south
Of that point, the officials plan a
development, which essentially will be
an eating establishment.
The park highway on top of the
mountain ridge is still under con-
struction between Swift Run Gap and
Waynesboro. Va, the southerly seq
ment of Shenandoah National Park.
Just what development will be re-
quired in that section of the park
will await an indication of public
demand after the highway has been
placed in commission
National Park Service officials de-
sire that public accommodations at
Shenandoah National Park be equal
to those available in the Western
parks To this end they are advis-
ing the officials of the Virginia Sky
line Co., Inc, to make q first-hand
inspection trip to some Of the West
ern parks - Yellowstone, Yosemite,
Sequoia, etc.-to see how accommo-
dations for the public are handled
there.
Camp grounds for trailers and other
means OF travel are provided at Shen-
andoah National Park. as elsewhere
in the national park system. These
are free public camps, officials said.
All existing facilities at Shenandoah
have been turned over to the conces-
slonalre to operate, and any addi-
tlonal ones required will have to be
furnished by him, the authorities here
say.

SKYLINE SURVEY
TRIP IS PLANNED
Cammerer to Speed Work
.. of Concessionaire for
Accommodations.

Arno B. Cammerer, director OF the
National Park Service, has arranged
to make an inspection trip next week
to Shenandoah National Park with
view to speeding up operations Of
the concessionaire, the Virginia Sky
line Co., Inc, of Skyland, Va. so
that greater accommodations for the
public may be available.
Over the week ends, officials say,
the accommodation at Skyland and
. other points are filed. but during
the middle of the week the public
may find lodging there easily. Res
ervations must be made at Skyland,
as the firm maintains no Washing
ton Office and the National Park
Service does not handle them.
4 The transformation of the erstWhile
mountain area into a modern park
with up-to-date facilities is proceed
Ing. Next weeks conference on Mon
day and Tuesday will be held among
Cammerer, J. R. Lassiter, superin-
tendent of the park; Mason Man.
ehum, president of the company, and
Charles L. Gable, chief of the park
operators division of the National
Park Service. They will go over the
situation and make plans on the
ground for the development of Big
Meadow, where the main project is
contemplated. Officials here said this
would not be ready for the public
for this Summer season, however.
At Big Meadow the National Park
:. Service has installed sewer. water
and other facilities and has built
roads. A central lodge and overnight
shelter cabins will be erected by the
operator. Just how extensive this
will be will depend upon the public
demand
At Skyland, which is owned by
the Government, but now is under the
concessionaire, II cabins have been
renovated and 10 more are in process
OF modernization by the Civilian Con-
servation Corps The dining room
at Skyland now is in operation. Ma
tional Park Service officials are con-
sidering the advisability of erecting
20 more cabins with service for only
two or three persons. The older
cabins accommodate larger groups.
At Panorama, Va. in the park, the
tea room has been taken over by the
operator, and it has accommodations
: overnight for four parties. Similar
provisions exist at the Spottswood
tea house at Swift Run Gap, Va.
Meals are served at both places.
Park officials here said the plan
Is to eliminate the Panorama and
spottsUood facilities as soon as Sky
\ land and Big Meadow have been
suly developed. Authorities consider
the existing layout at the main en-
frances to the park an eyesore, and
1t will be removed. If the public
demands that similar facilities be
available they will be constructed
elsewhere, out of sight.
For the present nothing is being
planned at Front Royal, Va, which

and entered the old woman's room. Then, leaning against the closed door, her face paper white, her nails digging into her palms, she deliv- cred her message parrot-wise, like a stifE-lipped, frightened child reciting Q verse:
 "The airport called "A. They wanted me to tell you {. they've found his plane - in the surf - somewhere on the coast of Central America They Said-tell you they--had not given up hope"
 "Ah, indeedT said old Miranda slowly after Q moment.
 Perhaps she was remembering other scenes in which she, herself, had said to other waiting women, But they haven't given up hope yet"
 For e moment she sat silent, her eyes closed; then she said, You may tell George I shall not want the car this afternoon And do go out for some fresh air, Miss Benton. You are looking rather pale. L-think I shall 90 to my room"
 Linda must have walked miles that afternoon, but she was not con. Scious of being tired only numb, and somehow apart in gray, empty dead world of her own. !. The dead do not weep. Linda did not.
 When she dragged herself home through the little park, the Christ mas tree was gayly lighted-all sil- yer and blue. Candles were glowing in the windows, people were hur. rying along with brightly wrapped parcels, laughing and calling out gay greetings to one another. At the edge of the park she met the little dark man with the puckered, wtstful smile who had spoken to her that day when she had paused outside the church to sing with the choir the Christmas carols they were rehears- ing. He called, Merry Christmas, Mss Bentonw And she heard her own voice answering, Merry Christ Tnas!"
 Those few hours alone in her room that afternoon were old Miranda's one concession to the frailty of the flesh. She came down to dinner, Q little haggard, but very quiet.
 Later radio reports only confirm. ed the news they had had.
 The wrecked plane was undoubt. edly that in which Captain Trent had set out. It had evidently been tossed for hours by heavy seas be. fore washing ashore. .. Severa! experienced flyers were quoted as saying that 1t was impossible that the pilot could have survived such 6 beating. And there was no ap- parent possibility of his havii'e been picked up.
 Old Miranda heard t all with dry eyes; Linda with that riumbed pas- sivity that had held her since the airport had called this morning.
 Notes of sympathy, even flowers. had been pouring in all day, and callers had begun to come. At the first arrival Linda rose and would have left the room, but Mrs. Trent said swiftly, Please do not go, Miss Benton. I may want you"
 So Linda sat down aehSn.

Uuestions courteously. But sone- thing in her bearing froze on their lips all but the most formal express sions of sympathy.
 The Trent women, Linda gath" cred, did not permit others the lib' erty of being sorry for them.
 Through 1t all, Linda was con- scious of furtive glances cast Tn ner own direction. From her experience on the ice the other day, she had gathered that rumors about Barry and herself had travelled swiftly.
 So people were sorry for her.
 Well, if the Trent women did not welcome pity, neither did 0eonry Benton,s daughter. old MiraIi" da seemed aware of something more than casual in the glances cast ot the slim fair girl who sat with such quiet dignity in her tall, high-backed chair.
 When one of the women turned and said to Linda, This news about Captain Trent must be a great shock to you, too, Miss Benton" the old lady's shrewd eyes swept the co. vertly listening faces about her With attentive curiosity.
 And when Linda turned grave, steady young eyes upon her ques- tioner, lifted her head, and an" swered briefly and quietly In her clear, locely voice that naturally 1t must be a great shock to all who knew Captain Trent, Miranda Trent's eyes agairls travelled over the listening faces, with a look that al- most said, "All rightl Now what do you make of that?"
 At last they all went. Miranda Trent had just picked up her cane and said @ little wearily that 1t was bedtime, when the telephone sud- denly shrilled.
