Announcement that the Tennessee
Valley Authority has opened lots
for leasing to families who want to
build their own cabins on the shores
of Lake Norris raised the question
as to whether public lands nearer
Washington were available for the
same purpose. The Forest Service
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture reveals that there are
cabin sites now ready in two parks
within the National Capital area.
But private cabins are permitted
rather than encouraged, for the ma
tional forests are managed for the
greatest good of the greatest num-
ber in the long run" and public and
semi-public uses have a decided pri-
ority over private enjoyment.
There are three national forests
not great distance from Washing
ton-George Washington, the Jef1er-
son and Monongahela-located in
Western Virginia and Eastern West
Virginia. No summer homesites are
at present available in jefferson
forest, but there are a few in the
Elizabeth Furnace and Rock Row
Run areas of George Washington
and in the middle mountain area of
the Monongahela. Application for
leases are made not to the Forest
Service here but to the forest super
visor at Harrisonburg, Va, for
George Washington National Forest
and to the forest supervisor at Ell
kins, w. Va, for the Monongahela.
Hewing to the policy that private
summer homes must not interfere
with public needs, the Forest Service
selects lot areas that by reason of
topography or location are unsuited
for general use. Then, too, 1t has
been found inadvisable to permit
summer homes in isolated, scattered
locations. Nevertheless, the objective
is to allow summer homes in places
both suitable and attractive with
good forest cover. Often they are
within easy access to fine recrea-
tional areas.
If the citizen is genuinely inter-
ested in leasing a lot, which usually
is from one-half acre to an acre in
size and is rented at SIS to S25
year, the forest supervisor will ar
range for an inspection of the area
to allow a selection. The cautious
Forest Service policy of leasing gives
reasonable assurance that the area
will not be taken back for higher

USE" The permit, however, Is on
q year-to-year basis, unlike the Lake
Norris sites. which are leased for
20-year periods. II the forest areas
are required again by the Govern
ment, reasonable time is allowed
for amortizing the cabin invest
ment.
Naturally, such cabins go up under
certain regulations. Restrictions
vary according to local condition,
but in general these rules apply:
Summer homes are not allowed
within sight Of highways or lakes,
along fishing streams or near public
use areas or scenic attractions;
The type Of cottage and materials
must be appropriate to the forest
environment;
The premises and improvements
must be maintained in an orderly
condition and in good state OF re-
pair;
Cabins and other improvements
are subject to State and county tax
alton;
Commercial use of cottages is out
laWed and they cannot be subleased
or sold without the approval Of the
forest supervisor;
Latrines and garbage pits must
meet State laws and national forest
regulations;
Laws and regulations on fire pro-
lection, fish and game, etc., also
apply.

Mexican parties, says Ruth Ellen
Loyrien, can be fun for the guests,
and the hostess too, for they can be
simple. Bright potteries and painted
gourds, little pots of cactus-presto!
the spirit is created. And typi-
cally Mexican food comes more than
half prepared in cans, as well as
being concocted on the cutting board
and the kitchen stove.
Suppose the hostess has the incli-
nation and the time to give the
home make flavor to a tasty party.
Miss Lovrien suggests two dishes,

Bermuda and Halifax divide hon.
ors equally this year for Labor Day
cruises. The Cunard White Star
Georgia, the Holland Rot
terdam and the Hamburg American
st. Louis will visit Halifax, while
the Furness Monarch of Bermuda,
the United States liner Washington
and the North German Lloyd Co.
lumbus will voyage to Bermuda.
Slightly longer Labor Day cruises
are offered by the Swedish Ameri-
can liner Gripsholm, which will sail
August 80 for both Halifax and
Bermuda, and by the Furness Queen
of Bermuda, which will leave August
81 for Bermuda.
Longer Cruise Offerings.
Many travellers will take advan-
tage of the Labor Day week end to
start a longer cruise. Six-day
cruise ships leaving New York Sat-
urday include the Clyde-MallOry
Shawnee, which will voyage to
Jacksonville and Miami; the Cuba
Mail Oriente, which will have
Havana as its destination; the
Cunard White Star Lancashire, en-
route to Nassau, and the Eastern
Steamship liner Acadia, which will
be bound for Bermuda.
These Labor Day trips will by no
means exhaust the cruise posslbili-
ties for September. More than 100
voyages are planned during the
month, and that travellers can visit
practically any island in the West
Indies or any northern seacoast des-
tination at that time. The shortest
cruise is one of 3la days; longer
cruises range from to 81. with s
and IL or l3 day trips in the
majority.

Danish Shops Are Famed
For Lace and China

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 19.-Cne Of
the Danish kings of long ago for

leave the kingdom. He was afraid
that emigrants would divulge to
foreigners the methods OF this
marvellous handicraft industry.
Today such forcible secrecy is out
Of fashion, but that Danish peas
ant women still have monopoly in
producing certain kinds of intri-
cately worked designs in fine linen
thread. A particularly desirable
variety found in Copenhagen shops
Is Tonder lace, made only by women
in the little town of that name,
situated on the Peninsula of Jut-
land.
Another famous sort of needle
work found In shops in the Danish
capital is the Hedebo Embroidery
The technique in making this stuff
Is many centuries old, but it con-
tinues to appear in new designs, as
1t has since it originated in the
Middle Ages.
Silver and china are two COM
modities that visitors should con-
slider in Denmark. Modern Danish
porcelain may be from either the
royal factory or private factory.
The first kind is identified by a
trade mark showing three Wavy
lines which represent the three sea
passages through the Danish archi-
pelago by which ships enter the
Baltic, the Sound, the Great Belt
and the Little Belt. The private
pottery mark displays the three
towers on the national coat of arms
In either case china bought in
good shops in Copenhagen or the
other cities of the country is a lovely
ware. The workmen who paint the
designs on it are real artists. Many
of them are descended from a line
of ancestors who have handed down
their skill from father to son, and

Volumes of an educational char

Before 100 case workers of pub

Mackall said an amendment which

This would be accomplished, he
said, by utilizing older records Of
previous employment than are now
taken into consideration.

Other amendments to be sub
mitted, Mackall said, would sim.
