JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec.
15.-Record throngs Of dollar
wise vacation1sts are making
this sun-blessed playland their
headquarters for a gay, thrill
packed Florida visit this year as
the word spreads that vacation
dollars buy more fun in Jack
Sonville.
A recent cost study by the
Tourist and Convention Bureau
showed that a Washington
area couple can come to Jack
sonville, play in the sunshine
for seven full days and return
home for a total cost of less
than $3.50, including round trip
transportation for two.
Situated far below the snow
line and just above the tropics,
this gay winter playground is
a day closer to the homes of
northern visi tors, enabling
them to save travel dollars for
extra days of grand fun in Flor
ida. Another reason for the low
cost of a vacation in Jackson

AT PINEHURST

PINEHURST, N. c., Dec. Is.
A game, a tree and a geo.
graphic phenomenon have made
this New England appear
ing village in the South what
it is today, a popular fall, win

is golf, the tree the long-leaf
pine which grows beautifully

deSolate tract of 5000 acres
with the purpose of making it a
large pea ch-growing center
where a number of his friends
in the North could come to take
advantage of the dry, healthful
climate and to combine this
with the growing Of peaches on

LUXURY TRAIN
STARTS TRIPS
ON SEABOARD
Nearly 3 Hours Cut on
N. Y.-FIorida Run

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The
new East Coast Orange Blossom
Special of the Seaboard Railway
starts its annual winter rail
schedule to Florida today.
This is the twelfth anniver-
sary Of this all-Pullman train,
and will be operated this year
on a running time of 26 hours
and IS minutes for the 1895
miles from New York to Miami.
FASTER SCHEDULE
The new running time is two
hours and fifty minutes faster
than last year. One hour and
20 minutes will also be cut from
the schedule of the East Coasts
"twin," the West Coast Orange
Blossom Special which serves
the west coast Of Florida.
The Seaboard's east coast,
powered for the first time by
the lines three new stream
lined diesel-electric locomotives,
in units of three locomotives
each, 5000 horsepower and 210
feet long, is equipped with tight
lock couplers, rubber draft gear
and diaphragm suspension
which make for improved rid
ing and elimination of noise.
The East Coast has a buffet
club, two dining cars, lounge
and section compartment-draw-
ing room-bedroom sleeping cars
and is considered the finest
equipped train in the New York
to Florida service.
NO MORE BUMPS
The rubber draft gear and
the new type of couplers enable
the train to be started and stop
ped without the usual bumps
when the slack is gathered up.
The entire train stops and starts
as a unit.
The locomotive is in orange,
green, cream and aluminium
colors and on test runs devel-
oped a speed of lit miles an
hour. During the trip to Wash
ington from Chicago in Octo-
Der, one of these dieSel-electricS
pulled a loaded freight train Of
70 cars at a speed Of IS miles
an hour over a period of several
hours.

LURES VISITORS
Points Reached Easily
By Newly Paved Roads

Deep in the heart Of Amer
ica's picturesque region
where still exist areas untrou-
bled by the busy whirl Of the
workday world lie the historic
pilgrimage cities Of Vicksburg,
Natchez, Woodville and Holly
Spring, easily accessible over a
newly-completed system Of paved
highways.
Though the major pilgrimages
are held during March there is
never q time when these old
South cities do not hold much
Of interest for the visitor.
HISTORIC VICKSBURG
Vicksburg annually commem-
crates its part in the South OF
the past with a pilgrimage whose
major point of interest is the
National Military Park. Scared
by Union trenches and the re-
mains Of Confederate forts dat
ing back to the siege Of 1858,
the park Is built on the site OF
one of the most important bat
ties Of the War between the
States.

O gay ball was in progress when

River; the Marmaduke Shannon
place, where gan .blers were
hanged; the Warren county
courthouse, where Sergeant s.
Prentiss tried many a famous
case, and many other historic
buildings have helped make
Vicksburg famous.
Most widely known Of the
pilgrimage cities is Natchez,
where each March and April
tens of thousands Of visitors are
guests at the beautiful old
homes where some Of the finest
treasures Of Dixie may be seen,
In addition to the scores Of fine
old homes where history once
was made, the pilgrimageS in
clude Confederate balls, his
torical pageants, plantation din

A proposed housing survey en-
compassed in set of plans sched-
uled to be presented to Works
Progress Administration this week
by the Washington Housing Associ-
alton, was Endorsed by the Amer
lean University Park Citizens As
sociation last night
The survey, as set forth by the
Housing Association, and by John
Ihlder, executive officer of the Alley
Dwelling Authority, would determine
the number of dwellings to be con-
demned for replacement in accord
ance with the terms of the United
States Housing Act.
The project will be sponsored by
the District of Columbia Health De-
partment, and directed by a CO.
ordniating committee under the
Craftsmanship of Mr.. Ihlder, accord
ing to information received from
Mrs. Helen Duey Hoffman, executive
director of the Washington Housing
Association. The committee will be
composed of representative of sew
eral Federal, municipal and citizens
agencies.
Inventory Held Need.
Henry l.. Colman, president of the
association, said:
washington needs housing
market inventory. To know the
number of doubled-up families and
vacancies and the available housing
for families on all income levels
and to know the condition of these
dwellings, good, fair, poor or bad,
such an investigation as Washing
ton Housing Association proposes is
necessary. Mr.. Ihlder's proposal that
300 housing units be condemned
within year is sizable but neces-
sary.'
A request previously had been
made to Mr., Colman by Mrs. Hoff-
man for an expression of opinion
from the residents of American
University Park on the project.

Parking in area adjacent to play

Aardvarks
(Orycteropus)
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

In the who's Who in the Zoe"
Natural History of Mammals, we
find this statement, referring to the
aardvarks: Their order is repre-
sented today by only one genus
split into two species"
In the various scientific books this
queer little animal is listed also as
the ant bear or earth pig of Africa.
We also find it is the first animal
mentioned in the dictionary, and
other records all refer in one way
or the other to this hump-backed
creature as having an "evil eye" or
supernatural power.
Today the aardvark is found only
in South Africa. 1t is a harmless
animal, about the size of a pig,
blessed with an elongated snout,
piglike in contour and most efficient
in routing termites and ants from
their lairs. 1t has extremely long

ears, arched back and strong. short
legs. The toes are equipped with
steel-like claws, valuable aids to
digging. Not only for food is the
excavating done, but to make bur-
rows for retreat. It's skin is tough,
like a hide, and sparsely covered
with coarse brown or gray hair.
The length OF the animal is about
feet, which includes the tapering,
cylindrical tail.
Close inspection reveals the mouth
to be tubular, and the teeth con-
sist of cylinders which are per-
forated by many fine canals. This
is for the special diet OF ants, for
no other form of teeth would an
swer the need.
When the aardvark is digging
you can see the powerful muscles
arriving the forefeet with their four
claws. The dirt is passed by them
back to the hindfeet, a swift kick
