CALEDONIA PARK CIRCUIT
HIKE
APPROXIMATELY 7 miles.

approximately 7 miles.
This trip offers variety by famil-
iarizing the traveller with an unusual
section of the Appalachian Trail in
Southern Pennsylvania. The local
ity is Caledonia Park where the
Lincoln Highway on its westbound
course crosses this trail.
Caledonia Park is an area on each
side of the highway, nestled in the
MichauX State Forest. The region
highly developed as a recreational
and educational center, is much
frequented and of outstanding his
torical interest. Through this pass
poured Lees veterans on their way
to the Gettysburg campaign Very
prominent in Caledonia Park is the
stone foundation of an old iron
furnace. 1t was once operated by
Thaddeus Stevens, who named the
area from his native Caledonia in
Vermont. The destruction of his
furnace in the Gettysburg campaign
perhaps did not soften the bitter
ness displayed by Stevens during
the reconstruction days. The water
fall near the iron stack once turned
an old shingle mill The millrace
today provides pleasant walk.
Old Ore Pits Nearby.
From the parking area ore fol-
lows a well-worn path marked by
the familiar white Appalachian
Trail blazes, past the popular SWIM
ming pool and across the picnic
area to the base of the range. Near
by are the old ore pits which sup
piled iron for the furnace. Be-
yond the Quarry Gap Lean-tos, the
trail proceeds to a point of inter-
section with Wigwam Hollow Trail,
which follows the ridge crest for a
distance before the turn is made on
the Williams Trail This trail, while
not on level, will afford no inconven-
iences in grades encountered. From
the Williams Trail, one soon turns
into the Yellow Ridge Trail, follow
ing south to the Pine Grove Fur
mace road, turning right for short
walk up this paved road past the
Conservation Museum An oppor-
tunity is afforded to visit the mu-
scum where there is on display an
instructive exhibit of the trees and
other flora through which the days
journey has extended.
This trip is extended only to serve
as an introduction to the Michaux
Forest. A study of the map of the
Michaux Forest (south section. is
sued by the P. A. r. c., will sug-
gest an endless variety of trips in
this area. This section of the Mi
chaux Forest has an extensive
growth of rhododendron and laurel
which should be in full bloom the
last half of June and the first part of
July, making the trip particularly
attractive at that time.
How to Reach Park.
To reach Caledonia Park in the
Michaux State Forest, take route

sequent appearance before the sub
committee which established a
precedent. The wife of Presi-
dent had never testified before a
congressional committee.
The spotlight this inquiry threw
on the Blue Plains institution re-
suited in some improvements there
and increased appropriations for its
operation and maintenance. And,
incidentally, it brought Mr.. Dale
sandro, a new member of the House,
into the public limelight-a factor
that aided in his denomination in
the Maryland primaries last May.
Nothing has been heard lately,
however, of the three other investi-
cations the committee authorized
early in the present session of Con-
gress.
One was intended to find out how
many so-called fire traps" there are
in Washington and what steps have
been taken to remove them. An
other was to investigate the activi-
ties of palmists, fortune tellers, crys-
tai gazers and the like The third
was ordered as result of complaints
of baby adoption practices in Wash
ington.
The fire and police subcommittee
started an inquiry into charges there
are more than 100 fire traps" in the
District, but abandoned it after one
public hearing. No attempt was
ever made, however, to initiate an
investigation of the palmists and
fortune tellers, or of baby adoption
practices.
Now, another investigation has
been proposed-one that would
search into the cause of Washing
tons traffic problems. Representa-
tive D'Alesandro has a resolution
pending before the House Rules
Committee providing for creation of
a special committee to delve into
the traffic situation. But there is
little likelihood this resolution will
be approved, especially in view of a
report by Capt. H. c. Whitehurst,
director of highways, that this in
quiry is unnecessary.
Capt. WhitehurSt has said a sur
vey now being conducted will pro-
duce all needed data on traffic con-
ditions.

Slayer Of Florida Girl
Executed, Pleased al
End Of 'Sufferinq'
Victim Wus Lured to Her
Death With Promise
Of Movie Career

BY the Associated Press
RAIFORD, Fla, July 29-Herbert
Goddard, who lured 17-year-old
Frances Ruth Dunn of Miami to
her death by promising to get her
into the movies, was executed in
Florida's electric chair at State
prison here at 1888 am. today.
Sheriff w. H. Lawrence of Palm
Beach County threw the switch at
1892 am. and the current coursed
through Goddard's body for S. Sec
onds.
No relatives were here to claim
the body and Supt. L. F. Chapman
said it would be buried in the prison
cemetery this afternoon.
Welcomes Death.
When the death warrant was read
yesterday to the 29-year- old man of
many aliases and a career strangely
mixed with artistic brilliance and
crime, Palm Beach County Sheriff
w. H. Lawrence quoted him as
saying:
Thank you, sheriff"
A little later, the officer said, God
dard told him calmly, Il have
already suffered enough and will
be glad to see tomorrow come"
Going to Miami in 1899, Goddard
had over-aWed Miss Dunn and a
girl friend, Jean Bolton, with a
reputation he established as director
OF a Federal theater project. He
told tall tales of his ability and
renoWn in the theatrical business.
Convicted at Age of 16.
He was born in New York, the son
Of an Army officer. In an inter-
view on the eve of his execution
date, he blamed his life of crime
on his parents divorce early in his
life and his lack of a normal child
hood.
When his mother remarked, his
name was changed to Thomas
Cochran. In his checkered career
he also was known as Charles JET
ferson, Thomas Ashwell and by
other names.
Before he was Is, he was con-
victed of rape in Pennsylvania but
was freed on a parole after serving
less than four years. Later he
went to prison as an Army deserter
and as an impersonator of a Fed
eral officer but soon regained free
dom.
In between times, he said, he
often made as high as $1,000 a
month as radio script writer and
producer. advertising manager or
theatrical executive.

NEWS ABOUT SILK STOCKINGS

We do not pretend to be experts on
the subject of silk hosiery, but we have, in
sort of masculine way, paid some atten-
ton to silk stockings as they have APP
peared within eyesight range.
The ladies, we are sure, will be in
terested in the introduction of new types
of stockings which are scheduled to go on
sale in May. According to hosiery MAX
ers, half of the silk now used for hosiery
will be replaced by Nylon, Vinyon, Rayon
and the growing use of cotton Isle in toes,
heels and tops of medium and lower-grade
stockings.
Nylon and Vinyon are synthetic hosi-
cry yarns developed by industrialists in
this country. The use of new twisting
device makes rayon highly suitable for
quality hosiery and knitting methods now
being used, produce much finer cotton
Isle fabric than that used some years ago.
This being the case, we shall see what we
will see.
While this editorial is written mainly
to give our wOmen-readers advance infor-
nation, it may also interest men, who. we
presume, will keep watchful eyes on the
hosiery situation as it develops.

HOW TO SAVE LIVES

The best way to save the lives of
some of the American citizens who are
killed in highway accidents is by enforc-
ing the laws regulating the movement of
vehicles.
The highway regulations, including
the rules for parking, are little matters
that spell life or death at times Nobody
knows when minor violation may cause
major tragedy. Consequently, the minor
viclatOrs should be punished promptly
The enforcement of traffic rules
should proceed without recognition of
"big-shots." Nobody in any community
ought to have prestige or power enough to
escape punishment for violations of the
regulations. Enforcement officers should
not know" anybody; neither should juries
and judges.

Department.
The program involves a special cleo

an election have been placed at the Cham
Der Of Commerce and at the office of The
Citizen
Ii ten per cent of the countys free
holders sign these petitions, the Monroe
County Commission would have authority
for calling a special election to determine
if the majority favor creation of an anti
mosquito control district throughout the
county.
In the event the vote is favorable, the
governor would be notified Under state
law the governor is empowered to appoint
an anti-mosquito board Of three discreet
citizens" whatever they are under our
strange laws) to handle the countrywide
program. The State Board of Health
would conduct a survey of the MOSQUITO
situation and approve any plans for eradi-
eating them. The whole program is de-
signed to bring the state health forces ac-
lively into the picture with Monroe Off
Gals to control the pests.
No sane person can have anv sound
argument against invoking such pro-
gram. Mosquitoes form one of the worst

everywhere in this st. tie. No one section
is Immune from their birth and life. But
other sections do control them, so that the
birth rate in some sections is very low and
the mortality rate is exceptionally high.
That the pests can be controlled was
demonstrated by the army here during the
