By GEORGE HADDOCK.

Descendants of the followers of
Jacob Amen, who pioneered an un-
usual farm community in Pennsyl-
vania's Lancaster County more than
200 years ago, have found new
frontier in sparsely populated
section of Southern Maryland.
Some of the Amish farmers
whose traditional customs, such as
letting their boards grow after they
are married, have changed little
with the years-grew dissatisfied
with encroachments of modern
progress on their life in Pennsyl-
vania.
Their lands were becoming so
crowded there was not room for
their sons to develop their own soil
in the manner of their forefathers.
And they didn't like the Pennsyl-
vania law that forced their children
to continue in school beyond the
seventh grade
So they moved-famiies, furni-
ture, everything. That they were
leaving neat, comfortable homes on
prosperous land developed by pio-
neer ancestors more than 200 years
ago didn't seem to matter Land
was scarce and expensive, so they
moved.
And now Southern Maryland sees
the beginning of colonization of
Amish farm folk. Soon st. Marys
County will be as familiar with the
sight of the sturdy. bearded Amish
men with their broad, fat hats, and
the soberly dressed Amish women
as Lancaster County has been for
generations.
Buy Land in st. Marys.
Slender John Fisher, whose young
eyes belle his so years, typifies the
simplicity and calm purpose of these
new pioneers. Wearing their char
acteristic fiat hats and homemade
clothing, he and his white bearded
father, Isaac Fisher, are going about
the preparation of new homes.
John Fisher is one of the Amish-
men who sold his lands in Pennsyl-
vania and bought greater acreage
in st. Marys County. Johns farm
has 120 acres of arabic land and
timbeE His father bought an ad-
joining farm of 240 acres. With this
they feel there will be room enough
for farms for future generations
something they could not provide in
crowded Lancaster County.
While the Fishers work together

the city have now been unified. On
top of this, much of the land which
the two experts recommend turning
over to the new recreation commits
sion is already being turned over to
the District Recreation Department.
The National Capital Parks Office
admits that lands remaining in their
Jurisdiction which fit the descrip-
ton of adjacent and subordinate
from use standpoint to Fairgrounds
will probably be turned over to the
District agency in the near future.
This done, all supervised areas
would be under the District de-
partment and golf courses, bride
paths, certain tennis courts and play
fields, picnic areas and certain
swimming pools would remain under
parks operation and jurisdiction,
which is just what MI. Wagner and
Mr.. Sauers propose.
However, a major departure from
present practice, which they rec
ommend, would be the creation OF
recreation commission on which the
District, schools and parks, plus the
using public, would have equal rep
resentation.
officials of the Office of National
Capital Parks are enthusiastic over
the phase of the report affecting
recreation as it does not recon-
mend tampering with authority over
the unsupervised large scale, adult
recreation facilities in the parks
proper. They have fought hard
against turning all recreation over
to unified setup and have claimed
they should be the maintaining and
developing agency for all grounds,
and with some justification, at the
same time letting them out on per-
nit to the District programmlng
authorities.

|ckes Said 10 Favor
U. 5. Operation Of
Park Concessions
Report on Control
Proposals Given
To Legal Advisers

Interior Department officials said
today Secretary Ickes was in SYM
pathy with that section of the report
on the National Capital Parks which
recommends that operation and con-
troll of all concessions, refectories
and other recreational facilities for
which fees are collected be placed
under the superintendent.
Mr.. Ickes Cancelled a press con-
ference today, so it was impossible
to obtain from him directly his views
of the park report which was pre-
pared at his request. 1t was under
stood. however, that he regards the
report highly because of its con-
structive suggestions. Because OF
the possible course of action which
the report opens he has turned 1t
over to legal advisers.
Closer Control Favored.
officials reminded that Mr.. Ickes
had gone on record repeatedly in
favor of closer control of all recrea-
tional facilities and concessions in
the national parks by the Govern
ment. The only reason these con-
cessions are let under private con-
tract, he has said, is that the Gov
ernment lacked appropriations to
operate them itself.
He took the same position recent
ly when contracts were awarded for
concessions in the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park.
The Government is charging fees
for admission to many of the
national parks and national monu-
ments, such as Arlington House and
the Lincoln Museum in Washington,
on the theory that those who bene-
fit directly should help defray the
expenses for which all the people
are taxed.
The report on the National Capital
Parks, it was pointed out, may
necessitate legislative action if a
number of its recommendation are
carried out.
Officials said study was necessary
because many of the points raised
in it would require action by the
Civil Service Commission, the
Bureau of the Budget, the Controller
General and, even perhaps, execu-
tive orders. These are matters out
side the general scope of legislation
Secretary Ickes has given the re-
port careful study and it was under
stood he intends to discuss some of
its problems at future date.

trucks in those series should have
either a green inspection sticker or
a time extension card.

CHAPTER XIII

If Emily had expected her blunt statement to surprise Eric, she was not disappointed.
 You're doing what?" he shouted over the wire.
 I'm leaving Alan" she re- peated. "I1l explain when you get here"
 "But can't leave the dam now, Emily. Things are in bad shape here. The water is rising"
 Please, Eric" The appeal in her voice could not be denied. You are the only person I could turn to. need you"
 well all right. I'll be there within an hour"
 But 1t was almost two hours be- fore she let him in the door, wet and dripping. His clothes, his boots were mud spattered. There were dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept for nights.
 The moment he saw her all the love he had tried so hard to put from him, claimed him again. She was so small, so helpless, so for lornly alone. Her eyes were red from weeping, but she managed a wry smile as he took her hands. Eric wanted to enfold her in his arms, comfort her, tell her of his love. Instead he said:
 Just what is this all about? Whats this about your leaving Alan?" He tried to make his voice sound stern, matter of fact.
 Its true" Emily answered. T am leaving. I'll go back to St.. Louis, then to Reno. I can't go on here"
 What happened. Emily? Why this sudden decision? Don't rush into anything you'll regret later"
 T know what I'm doing-and I won't regret it, Eric. Alan turned down the chance to go to St. Louis tonight. Wired Dr. Peterson that lhs was staying in Sumner Wei I'm not!" Emily's eyes blazed.
 "where is Alan now2' Eric asked.
 "At the hospital with one of tt.e patients that helped wreck our marriage. Oh, I'm not blaming tl,em, entirely" she added quickly. T: it hadn't been Mrs. Rowland and Grandma Frank it would have b,en someone else. There always wGald have been someone he couldn't leave.
 "It's been wrong ever since I came here. You saw only little of it., while you were here-it's been like that for year"
 Self-pity welled up within her. Eric listened understandingly while sfe poured out her story of that hateful year year of loneliness ara discontent. Try as he would to defend Alan's actions, Eric found himself admitting tha5 Emily's deci- sion was not without justification. He. let her talk on and on, and her returning composure was his re- ward.

Ecuador Still Argues Over Its Boundaries


 OLD country is picturesque Ec- V uador. It was old even when the Spaniards took possession and warred on the Incas in 1884. Ecua- dor became a republic in 1922 after the battle of Pichincha and its history has been stormy even for a Latin-American country; so stormy, in fact, that the nation is still without definitely determined boundaries.
 Ecuador, lying on the Pacific coast of South America. extends from about 100 miles north of the equator to 400 miles south of it. It is bounded by Colombia on the north and Peru on the south. The boundary on the east is something else again for Brazil, Colombia and Peru all claim certain lines which Ecuador does not aclnowl- edge.
 So the maps show "areas in dis pute" and the controversy rages over the years. But boundary lines or not, Ecuador boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, and all within definite ly settled limits.
 There is, for instance. the rail line from Guayaquil, the Pearl of the Pacific," to Quito, capital, and once the center of the great Inca civilization before the raid- ing Spaniards came. This road is one of the most spectacular en- gineering feats in the world. At Nariz del Diablo Devils nose) a mountain blocks the railway and the train is forced to climb 290O feet in five minutes along a dar- ing zig-Zag course cut from sheer granite.
 Ecuador estimates its definite area at 276,000 square miles. Its population is roughly 2,756,00O. It is a nation of vast potential wealth which may some day place it among the leading countries of the western hemisphere. A map of Ecuador is shown above on current stamp of the country.

Yes, Emily was right. If there was to be any surrender, she must make 1t. Alan was staying in Sum ner, with or without Emily. And if Emily did not surrender, if she did get her divorce, could he even hope? Eric put the selfish thought from his mind. His dreams. his future had no place here. First he must make every effort to save Alan's home.
 That Galahad spirit must be con- tagious, he thought. smiling. But 1t was not being Galahad alone that made him want to do all in his power to hold Emily and Alan to- gether. If the break did come, Emily must be thoroughly convinced that it was all over-that there would be no returning. Only when she was certain of that, only when she was sure that all her love for Alan was dead, would she turn to Eric. Right now she regarded him as her best friend, a friend who sympathized, who understood. That was the role in which she had cast him; that was the role he must accept, for 8 time at least.
 He hardly noticed when Emily left the room to answer the doorbell, SC engrossed was he in his thoughts. Then he heard Dr. Farrell's voice, echoing throughout the house. Far rell here, too? What brought him?
 Farrell greeted him without warm tn. Eric could see that the doctor did not welcome his presence. But Farrell had little time for Kane. AL most savagely the old physician, now suddenly grown older, turned to Emily.
 My God, Emily" he asked, his voice trembling with emotion, what have you done to Alan?"
