Quaint Gaspe Area
More Accessible
To Tourists.

MONT JoLI. june ia series
~ Of daily tours around the oaspe
Peninsula in Eastern Quebec have
been arranged this year from June Is
to September 80 BY oaspe Tours Line,
with departure from Mont Joli in
modern fve-passenger motor cars on
. trip Of $50 miles Of picturesque
scenery, mountains ana sea, the ma
jestic River and Gulf of st. lawrence
and Bale des Chaleurs. These tours
from and to Mont Joli will be con-
Quoted on an al-expense-included
basis, covering transportation, meals,
hotel accommodation, and will also
include . short side trip by boat to
Perce Rock and the bird sanctuary on
Bonaventure Island.
0aspe, as . vacation playground,
has come to be associated with al that
is alluring and different because Of
its unspoiled natural beauty and Of
the quaint customs and manners Of
bygone centuries still retained In the
true hospitality Of It's inhabitants.
There has been 4 reason for this
communication or the lack Of than.
The Canadian National Railways
touches the peninsula 1T two Of it,
gateways, Mont Joli in the north and
Matapedia in the south. But except
for . railway operating along the
southeast shore Of 0aspe from Mata-
pedia to the town Of oaspe, the
peninsula was not penetrated by any
rail line or by any motor highway
until recently. The rail facilities have
not been extended, but today an ex-
cellent highway encircles the whole
Of the peninsula, . distance Of $50
miles, and has opened to tourists q
new and exciting summer playground.
This year, through the DEVELOPMENT
Of = combined rail and auto tour, the
Canadian National Railways has
made the region more accessible than
ever.
Gaspe Is today . land which has no
counterpart elsewhere on the con-
tinent. Its scenery remains un-
violated. Great forests cover its steep
hillsides; its streams and lakes teem
with fish; humble, inviting villages
dot its shoreline and its people remain
undisturbed in q world that sometimes
seems to have gone quite mad. It Is
An area that the machine age seems
to have skipped. Old customs and
older traditions live on In an era when
such things are either forgotten or
discarded elsewhere and simplicity Is
the keynote Of . civilization that still
finds its roots and its fruits In the
soil and the sea.
So far, the building Of the great
motor highway along the full length
Of the high-crested shore Of oaspe,
has not spoiled the area or fts peo-
pie. This highway, which Is much
longer than and Just A. spectacular
as the Columbia River highway In
Oregon, sweeps along with the st.
Lawrence River and Gulf to the east
ern tip Of the peninsula and then dips
gracefully southwark to follow the
curve Of the north shore Of the bay
Of Chaleur, one of the most inviting
bodies Of salt water on the continent.
It comes at last to MAtapedia where
1t swings, north and east again to
follow through the cloistered valley Of
the Matapedia until it completes it,
full circle 1T Mont Joli.
On the way it passes through hun
dreds Of picturesque villages and .
countryside that take the tourist back

NEW YORK R.-Fannie Hurst is
back in her triplex apartment high
over Central Park starting work on
her tenth novel, which she probably
never will read when it's published.
The novelist, who always has been
too absorbed with the book she is
writing to null over the success of
the past, said recently:
Il don't think I ever have read
book of mine after it was finished.
Yesterdays book belongs to yester-
days 100000 years. But tomor-
rows book
There's always the passionate
hope that it will be the book you
always wanted to write"
Last week, on the program of a
movie palace that was showing Hol-
lywood's version of one of her books,
she read that she'd written nine
novels. Apparently she was a little
surprised. She never had counted
her books and short stories.
Evening star., 1938-11-13

She seems a little surprised, too,
when one talks of her earlier work
"Humoresque," and THE Vertical
City," "Just Around the Corner" +"
and Gas Light Sonatas," as stories
one remembers in great detail.
Once young actress came to see
her and said, Il want to play Lum-

years ago.
The actress had blue light in
her eyes, the novelist recalled, like
the flame that burns ON Christmas

"She said she wanted to play
Iummox, and she knew it all" She
proceeded to recite long passages, to
the amazement of Miss Hurst, who
couldn't quote from the book at all
Here is a flash-back from the

The idea of free library service

development and has attained

OF the first subscription or share
holding library in Philadelphia, in
1882. The use of this was restricted
to subscribers, but it was a step in
the advance toward free library cir
culation of today.
The Library of Congress was es-
tablished in the City of Washington
by an act of 1900 in connection with
the setting up of the government in
the new Capital City. The act
made an initial appropriation of
5000 for the purchase of books and

To the Library of Congress, the
national library of the United
States must 60 copies of all books,
maps, prints or musical compost
tions to be copyrighted and de-
posted in the Library. according
to copyright law From occupying
single room in the Capitol in 180O
it has grown to be the largest IL.
brary in the world.
The first librarian was John Beck
ley of Virginia. who entered upon
his duties early in 1902. The first
catalogue. which he printed in April
of that year, listed 1854 volumes and
nine maps. Ten years later the
catalogue showed 3,O76 volumes and
50 maps. charts, and plans. This
was substantially the condition of
the Library when, during the in

Candid Camera Does
More Than Words
Before Jury
By S. r. Winters.

PlCCuTeS!
Twelve members of the jury,
wearied by the long harangue of the
lawyers, suddenly straighten in their
chairs. For the first time in hours,
all eyes are turned toward the
witness stand. A murmur of ex-
citement runs through the court
room as the case against an alleged
gambling establishment picks up
drama and action. Detective Sergt.
Roy E. Blick has announced that
he will introduce pictures as evil
dence.
One picture shows five people at
a gaming table above which is the
inevitable pair of rigid lights,
the kind commonly used in gambling
houses. All the evidence has been
given before, but mere words have
made little impression. Here, how
ever, is an actual photograph made
at the time of the raid.
The jury studies the scene. 1t
had been the contention of the
defense that this had been a social
game in a private home, but here
in the picture are the drop-lights
peculiar to the gambling profession.
The jury can see them. 1t doesn't
need to be told.
In another picture woman and
three men are engaged in an alleged
poker game. The woman is reach
ing for the chips while one of the
men. apparently noticing the camera,
drops his cards and covers his face
with his hand.
Concrete evidence! And the ver-
dict-"Guiltyr
Thus the candid camera is estab-
lished in the field of criminal in
vestigation Although this case was,
in itself, relatively unimportant,
it proved the value of a camera as
a material witness and opened
up a new and specialized field for
photography, a field that promises
to be almost unlimited in its posi-
bilities in the science of crime
detection.
And it is in the future of this
hobby that Sergt. Roy Blick of the
Metropolitan Police Force, WASH
ington, is most interested. Real
izing its possibilities and at the
same time dissatisfied with obtaining
the usual run of evidence, he turned
to photography for more positive
proof. For several years he has
experimental with its various
phases, but it was not until he
walked in on the gambling establish-

nection with the destruction Of the
Capitol. ordered by Admiral Cock
burn and Gen. Ross.
To replace the loss, Thomas JEFF
ferson offered to the Government
his private collection of 6.700 VOL
umes, at cost price of $23, ,700-an
offer which was accepted by Con-
gress in 1915 in the face of accu-
sations of extravaganza and pro-
tests against the irreligious char
acter of many of the books. JEFF
ferson's library. which was an ad-
mirable selection of the best an
cient and modern literature up to
that time, became the foundation
of the new Library of Congress and
the collection was gradually in
creased by annual purchases until
in 1851 it comprised $1,000 VOL
umes. That year a disastrous fire
destroyed the library quarters and
all but 10000 books of the Jeffer-
son collection was consumed.

In the last decade she published
give and Ten," 1929; Back Street" ="
1881; Imitation of Life" 1892: An
itra's Dance" 1884, and so on.
Her book "Mannequin" was award
de a $4,000 prize by a moving pic
ture corporation. Ray Long rated
her story Guilty" as l of the 20
best in his 20 years as an editor.
Hollywood has paid huge prices for
some of her recent work.
Unwavering determination to be
an author-it started when she was
child, keeping a scrapbook of
verse labeled Keats and Others
has been a big factor in Fannie
HurSts success.
She has excellent health, too-an
excess of vitality. She remembers
saying in college, Il suppose I'll
have to go to bed-there's nothing
else to do"
Her working habits, now that she
has a handsome apartment and serv-
ants, are much as they were when
she was living in the little room
near Columbia University.

The library collection was imme-
diately replenished by a congress
sional appropriation of nearly $780,
600 and grew slowly until after the
Civil War. Then. under the direc-
ton of Ainsworth Rand Spofford
an Ohio newspaper correspondent
who was appointed librarian in
1864, it made forward strides be-
cause of his ability to acquire much
material.
On the evening of February 10,
1881, the American Library Asso-
citation was in conference in the
Library of the Army Medical Mu-
scum in Washington. At that meet
ing it was

This contained most of the lit
