then the full horde Of mixers will be
on the trails.
Most popular with the serious
mixers is the master trail Of the
Smoky Mountains National Park-a
standard section of the Appalachian
trail which follows the crest of the
Smokes through the park. Con-
Meeting with this footway are over
500 miles of marked trails set aside
for hiker and horseman in Pisgah
and Nantahala Forests and State
and private preserves. The real out
doors fan may, If he wishes, plunge
into a wilderness which will take
him months to explore, though never
far from civilization. This is because
the trails, even when near the habi-
tats of man, are insulated" by mar
row but pleasing strips of protected
rights of way.
Popularity of wilderness vacations
has grown enormously since devel-
opment of this network of paths in
North Carolina's parks and forests.
And while the hiker Is to be seen
at almost every season, 1t is in In
dian summer that he especially
favors this country.
Wild Flowers Along Trail.
The reasons are obvious. Now the
late wild flowers are lining the trails
and when frost drives them out it
will bring glorious compensation in
the brilliant colorings of the forest
leaves. The atmosphere on the
reaches mile or more high is brisk
and at night distinctly sharp, and
the heat of midday has lost its Ian
guorous touch. Bacon in the camp
pan now takes on magic scent.

Shades of yellow and orange are
in the leaves even during the sum-
mer but are unseen because of the
presence of large quantities of
chlorophyll, a green substance that
allows the leaves to derive energy
from sunlight. With the approach
of the end Of the growing season
chlorophyll Is withdrawn from the
leaves and stored for another season,
thus allowing the other leaf colors
to be seen.
THE most delicate as well as the
most brilliant colors Of red, scarlet,
flaming scarlet and burnt orange
are formed by sugar manufactured
by the leaves and left after the
growing season. Other chemical
substances, such as tannin and ac-
cumulated toxins. either act on the
sugars or in themselves give varia-
tions in the red and orange colora-
tions"
Red naples that change from
green to brilliant scarlet are the
advance guards" of the color
change. DR.. Peirson stated, adding
that these harbingers of autumn
are often visible at least a week be-
fore other leaves don their fall raj
ment.
The turning of the leaves can be
explained. But not so the odd event
that takes place each October %
at the Mission San Juan Capis-
trano, one of the headline attrac-
tions on CALIFORNIA; calendar for the
coming month. The event is the
departure of the mystery swallows
from the mission. For 100 years ac-
cording to legend and for 70 years
according to mission records, q flock
of between 1000 and 5000 swallows
has appeared in the sky and de-
scended on the Spanish Franciscan
shrine punctually on st. Joseph's
Day, March 10, leaving en- masse
with the same uncanny precision on
october %, the feast day of st. John
Cor San Juan, for whom the mission
was named. Confirmation of the
event in news dispatches trickling
East have spread each year the fame
of the mystery, with the result that
a growing throng of tourists now
watches the enigmatic flight.

Exploring the Western Hem

Central America is also a new and

Cuba will be in the limeight, to-

popular vacation place in the Pa

Western Hemisphere and a chance
to get there on American or neutral
ships, Americans will not confine
themselves this winter to the four

Overnight and weekend hikes

HEALTH CAMP AICN
 TO OPEN APRIL 2
National Negro Week to Be Marked By 18th Annie
 versary Observance

The silver anniversary marking the 25th observance of National Ne gro Health Week will be celebrated through the month of April with an active health campaign slated for April ? to April g it was announced in the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health. In coopera- tion with the United States Public Health Service, State, County and City health departments and various voluntary health and civic organiza- tions, the National Negro Health Week committe has based their 1889 campaign objective on ~a1le Citizens Responsibility for Com rnunity Health" Especial emphasis will be placed upon adult health, community sanitation, home and personal hygiene, school health ac- tivities and disease prevention, the bulletin said.
 Initiated in 1915 by the late Book CT T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute to raise the standard of negro health the move ment organized by negroes for ne- groeS has according to the bulletin, grown to large proportions during the quarter century. Studies of negro health in large cities indi- cate that while negro children un- der IS years are less prone to acute diseases than are white children of the same age, this is reversed in the ages over Is and up to "A at which time there is much higher in- cidence of acute disease than. in white children over 15.
 The bulletin urged all communi- ties to aid in the promotion of Negro Health Week by taking an active part in this movement. Co., operation in these activities can be given by personal assistance in ad- dressing groups on special phases of health and aid to negro leaders in planning for such meetings for groups of all kinds at churches, schools. lodges. settlement houses and other public places. Local com munity leaders can also assist with press articles, distribution of health leaflets and arrangements for health films and other illustrative material, advised the bulletin. Assistance can also be secured from the State Department of Health for speakers, health films, health leaflets and ad- vice in planning programs.

MAN-MADE CEYSER
 TO BE DISPLAYED

Troy, N. Y.-"Old Rensselaer," a mail-made geyser which erupts every two or three minutes, will be part of the geology departments display at Rensselaer, Polytechnic institutes open house weekend here May 5 and 6.
 The geyser, given its name by students at the open house held in 1883, is about four feet in diameter and six feet high. Covered with an iron shield, which IS painted to rep resent a hillside, the water spout is boiling much like a natural geyser when it erupts.
 Students, who are now putting the geyser into condition for the week. end, explain that a tube which is wide at the base and narrows down along its length is responsible for the action of the geyser. A large reservoir beneath the geyser supplies this pipe with water, while gas burn CTS heating the fiuted pipe cause it to erupt.
 By changing the amount of heat, the students can control the period of eruption, although 1t is planned during the weekend to have an eruption approximately every three minutes. The water spurts upward from the mouth of the mountain like structure to a height of from 10 to 15 feet, then drops back over the geyser and is caught in 8 trough extending around the ex- hibit. Since very little water is lost through conversion into steam, the system runs with the addition of only a small amount of water.
 Other parts of the geology exhibit will include rock ironing minerals, ore minerals, fossils, gemstones. and other rock forms. The department will arrange to have a limited num- Der of samples of some forms for visitors who wish a souvenir.

and Q license. On the face of the license the operator must write in his name and address and then fold the license in half so that 1t will fit into the back of the identifica- tion plate. The commissioner point ed out in his statement that neither the license nor the Identification plate are valid without the other. They must be together at all times and the license must be signed.
 Attached to the new license is an application blank for the 1940 license which will be filled out by the applicant when he applies next year. Concerning application blanks Commissioner Connor requested that all applicants make certain their applications are signed before mail ing them and also that the address which appears on the application is correct.
 Each year, thousands of operators mail their applications to the de- parement without signature. That necessitates the returning of the ap- PlACdtAOl 4Ol 0tBAiaOuAC oAA4 A1Ob OAAAJ delays the issuance of the renewal license but means added postal ex- pense.
 In conclusion, the commissioner stated: "Of course, with this new system, the renewal procedure this year will be slowed up somewhat and we will not be able to issue the new licenses with the same dispatch as in other years. Consequently, as the deadline of April 30th ap- breaches and the last minute rush begins to develop, a long wait in line cannot be avoided. I urge all who can to apply for their 1889 h- censes now and avoid that long wait toward the end of April" Next year before the end of April next year," he continued, things will be different. We will be able to issue renewals much quicker than ever before"
 In addition to the main office at Hartford, branch offices are located in New Haven, Bridgeport, South Norwalk, Stamford, Danbury, Wa terbury, New London, Norwich and Willimantic.

A steel drum incinerator, ragged and rent in an alleged explosion caused by concentration of gases, was exhibited in court today in the SIS, 1000 superior court civil action of Mrs. Mary Lynch of B Welton street against Theresa Moran.
 The plaintiff was on the stand to- day, telling her story to . jury of eight men and four women, with Judge Frank F. McEvoy presiding.
 Mrs. Lynch alleges that she was severely injured and burned May 19, 1897, when the incinerator used for rubbish at the property where she made her residence, exploded because of gases which accumulated in the base of the drum. Previously, the drum was used for a petroleum. The property is owned by the de- fendant.
 The plaintiff Is represented by At- torney Walter w. Snyth and Att torney Maurice Wrenn, while the defense is represented by Attorney Walter Monagarl.

Operators Licenses
 Awaiting Applicants
Present Permits Expire April Commissioner Con-
 nor Advises Owners on l939 Issues

The new 1899 operators licenses are now ready for issuance at the various offices of the State Depart ment of Motor Vehicles throughout the state, according to an announce ment made today by Commissioner Michael A. Connor of that depart ment.
 All that is necessary to renew the present license, which expires April 30th, is to sign the renewal appli- cation attached to the 1888 permit and either mail 1t or present it in person to the office nearest the residence of the applicant, with the correct fee of Three (3) Dollars. Applicants are specifically requested by the Commissioner to apply to the office nearest their residence, as the new aluminium identification plates have been made up in Hartford and dispatched to the various offices where they are on file.
 This year, departing from the conventional, Commissioner Connor is introducing another innovation with the so-called permanent oper- ator;s license. Faced with further curtailment of operating expenses, the commissioner has found it nec- essary to develop new labor and time saving methods. It is esti- mated that after this year, the new Identification plate system of oper- ators' licenses will save the state about twenty-five thousand dollars annually.
 The plate is small aluminium affair, three inches long and two inches wide and weighs half ounce. On it will be stamped the operators name, his date of birth and height, the license number, the state coat of arms and the inscrip- ton, "State of Connecticut"
 Upon renewal, the operator will be handed an identification plate
