HAWKSBILL MOUNTAIN CIR
CUT HIKE.
approximately 4 Miles.

The features of this trip are two
fold 1t affords an easy ascent Of
Hawksbill the highest mountain
within the confines of the Sheilan-
doah National Park and IL is of
extraordinary interest because OF its
flora. 1t is a curious fact that on
the Appalachian Trail route of 2,050
miles from Maine to Georgia the
highest elevations occur near Soth
ends AS we travel south along the
trail we find Hawksbill's 4,049-foot
elevation to be the highest point
south Of Mount Killington, in Ver-
mont. The trail in this section,
following the west side of the Blue
Ridge escarpment, is especially
scenic and is perhaps the finest bit
of Appalachian Trail in the Shen-
andoah National Park. AS the trail
crosses the boulder slope along the
northwest face of HaWksbill in a
wild and rugged setting forested
with spruce and fir, splendid back
views are offered of Old Rag,
Crescent Rock, Stony Man and the
Ida Valley.
Across Hawksbill Gap winds the
old, abandoned Ida road, cut in the
days when the mountaineers were
rolling out chestnut logs for tannin
extract before the chestnut blight
destroyed one of the principal in
dustries of the region. Now in the
Ida Valley we can see the houses
of resettlement project where fam
lilies are living who were formerly
living within the Shenandoah Park
area.
Fir Trees Transplanted.
The dense growth of spruce and
fir on the higher slopes of Hawks
bill contrasts strikingly with the
types of trees in the remainder of
the park. In general, the spruces
are distinguished by their sharp
pointed, angular needles and pendu-
lous cones, while the frs have fat
needles rounded on the end, and
their cones stand erect, like Christ
mas candles. Fir trees seen at

Cheese Price Control
Subject Of Inquiry

In Radio Address

BY the associated Press.
Thurman Arnold, Assistant At
torney General in charge of the
antitrust division, said last night
that the Justice Department was
investigating the cheese industry.
Mr.. Arnold, in a radio address
marking the 50th anniversary of
the Sherman antitrust law, said
the basic settlement price for the
whole week for millions and mil
lions of pounds of cheese" was set
each Friday afternoon at Plymouth,
Wis.
He said a few men met al the
Plymouth Cheese Exchange and,
during a few seconds of shouting
not understood by the laynen, u
made Offering prices and bids, after
which word goes out on the wires
to all parts of the United States
that the price of cheese on the
Plymouth exchange is Is cents per
pound"
IF this hokus-p -pokus was limited
to cheese Mr.. Arnold said, 'the
farmer and the consumer might sur

American Tourists,
Starting Late, May
Set Spending Record
American Travel in 1910
Expected to Be Greatest
In Country's History
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
American tourists-stalled for a
time by war and weather-are set
ting out now to see the sights with
an estimated s6,OOO,O0O 900 to spend.
The depressing effects of war
have lifted and the weather, unset
tied longer than usual this year, has
cleared up so it looks now like 1940
probably will be the greatest travel
year in American history" said
w. Bruce MacNamee, director of the
United States Travel Bureau.
During the first five weeks of the
normal travel season-beginning on
Memorial Day-it seemed as though
1910 would be dull year, even
though most of the Old World had
been cut off the travel list.
People were iittery at first over
the war; now they're saying: Let's
60 out and have fun while we can"
Heavier Spending Forecast.
Mr.. MacNamee predicted trav-
elers would spend more this year
than they did in 1899, when they
dug up $3.50 100000 to put the
tourist business into third place as
an industry in the United States.
For the first three months of 1910,
national parks showed an increase
in the number of tourists, but just
about the time Of the LoWlandS in
vasion in Europe a marked decline
developed, according to Miss 1Sa-
belle F. Story. editor in chief for
the park service.
But figures now show that the
American people are realizing again
the benefits of travel to health and
mental attitude
Her latest reports from the parks
seemed to fortify Mr.. MacNamee's
prediction that there would be 90
100000 park visitors in 1910, COM
pared with 1928, ,688 in 1899.
Park figures on visitors for June,
1910, and June, 1899, respectively,
included:
Great Smoky Mountains in Tenn
essee and North Carolina, 1883
and 9l.342: Shenandoah in Virginia,
1l2.949 and 1855; Yosemite in Cali
fornia, 93,646 and 80042; Yellow
stone in Wyoming, 82,997 and IT,
442 Rocky Mountain in Colorado,
rs, 1852 and 77,l65; Mount Rainier in
Washington, 1888 and 20O46;
Crater Lake in Oregon, 30,374 and
1854, Carlsbad Caverns in New
Mexico, 3O,l89 and 28,876; Glacier
In Montana, 32,393 and 2l087;
Olympic in Washington, 1857 and
1865 Wind Cave in South Dakota,
3.0l9 and 1924; Hot Springs in Ar
kansas, 17,4l7 and 1868; Lassen
Volcanic in California, 1879 and
1889; Mammoth Cave in Kentucky,
1913 and $1,000; Sequoia in Cali
fornia, 35,9S8 and 33,915; Grand
Teton in Wyoming, l3,945 and 9,543;
Kings Canyon in California, 27,l64
and 23043.
Decreases were reported in Ar
cadia in Maine, Grande Canyon in
Arizona, Zion and Bryce in Utah
and several other smaller parks.
In Washington, visitors to Lincoln
Memorial increased to 163,184 in
June, compared with 126,0l6 a year
ago.
Mr.. MacNamee said Americans
spent S5320O0000 abroad in 1888
and s469 100000 in 1889. He pre-
dicted that a large share of the
money usually spent abroad would
be expended at home this year.
