terday approximately 10000 persons
we're already assembled in the State
Fair Grounds to hear Mr.. Willkie,
whereas Mr.. Roosevelt did not ad-
dress public assemblage. There
was one other factor to be con-
sidered. The President arrived in
Dayton on Saturday, which also
marked the observance of Columbus
Day.
The Republican nominee renewed
at Cincinnati the pledge he has
made many times to continue work
relief as long as there are men
without jobs, but he accused the
administration of violating essen
tiai principles that should govern
the relief program by 1.-The injec-
ton of politics into relief" and by
waste.
Lists Objectives In Relief.
His administration, he said, would
begin by creating a demand in
private industry for more work.
ers Of every kind as the only way to
take men of relief. Until that goal
is accomplished, Mr.. Willkie listed
five steps he would advocate to i'm
prove administration of relief.
Briefly, they are:
l. Place greater emphasis on the
development of valuable" public
works projects under private con-
tracts.
2. Place Federal relief personnel
under the merit system and allo-
cate Federal funds to the States
in accordance with the extent of
unemployment in each State as
ways Of protecting relief from pol
itics.
3. Seek to preserve the self re
Spect OF those on work relief by
giving them an opportunity for bet
ter pay, either by Unemployment in
industry or on public works handled
through private contracts.
4. A promise to invite labor and
other groups, including the A. F. Of
L. and the G. I. O., Ito help set
up a training or apprentice pro-
gram of national scope"
S. That Congress set up the ad-
ministrative machinery to co-ordi-
nate the relief efforts of Federal,
State and local agencies.
Cites Economic Slavery.
Mr.. Willkie began by recalling
that rs years ago this Nation, after
a bloody struggle, gave freedom to
millions who had been held in slav-
cry, referring to the colored man
and the Civil War.
To-day" he said, "a new form of
slavery has been created. This is
an economic slavery, a slavery that
we seek to hide from our own eyes
by calling it unemployment. Of this
form of slavery I say: Let each
of us, man and woman, resolve that
it shall cease; and let us humbly
invoke upon our efforts that same
Almighty blessing that enabled us
to set those other people free. This
is slavery that does not shut men
init shuts them out"
In charging that political pressure
has been exerted by the New Deal
against men and women on relief"
Mr. Willkie asserted that in many

New Dealers can afford to be ex-
travagant. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference to them how much OF your
money they spend because they have
given up hope for the American eco
nomic system"
Mr.. Willkie said 1t may be true
that no one is starving in America,
but he contended 1t Is not true that
every one is being cared for. The
New Deal divides those in need into
employables and unemployables, and
only 10 per cent of the employables
are "given actual work relief on
w. P. A."

surrender your political freedom to
the ward committeeman"
Departing from his prepared text
at this point, Mr.. Willkie declared:
That is the way it works in Chi
cago, Jersey City and the Bronx"
In turning to the charge that the
administration has been wasteful
In relief, he cited a road widening
project in Pennsylvania. 1t could
have been done by private contract
for $1,000 a mile, he said, but
charged it cost $4,000 a mile as a
w. P. A. project, five times as
much"

testimony Of q Senate committee
supported his charges. Continuing,
Mr.. Willkie said:.
Here's how it Is worked: Last
November a New Deal Congressman
wrote a letter to an applicant for re-
lief. He said: 1T is an unbroken rule

Puerto Rico Air Services
Now Speed Vacationists

SAN JUAN, July 6.-Though trop-
ical Puerto Rico has a network
of hard-surfaced highways, some of
which were hewn out of mountain
sides many years ago by Spanish
colonists, the Caribbean island now
is adopting air travel on a broad
scale.
Most popular air route within the
island is that from San Juan, the
capital, to Ponce, historic Spanish
city on the south coast Over the
old military highway autos must
travel nearly 80 miles to cover a
beeline distance of 40 miles, because
of the rugged terrain and the many
streams the road must cross. Careful
motorists require three hours or
more for the ride, but modern cabin
planes cover the distance in a mere
Is minutes. Many visitors arrange
to travel one way by automobile
and then return by plane.
Other airplane services connect
San Juan with Mayaguez, a west
coast city, and with the Virgin
Islands, only 40 miles distant. Tour
lists who come for the famous deep
sea fishing can reach the best fish
ing grounds at nearby Mona Island
in few minutes in special plane
operated for that purpose by the
government of Puerto Rico.

BANFF, July 6.-Among the
places in Canada which perpetu-
ate the names of members of the
British royal family, perhaps hone
is more beautiful than that which
bears the name of Princess Louise,
Duchess of Argyll, first royal chate-
laine at Rideau Hall, Ottawa.
Lovely Lake Louise, in the Ca
madam Rockies, was called Lake
of the Little Fishes" by the Indians.
This name, however, did not pos
sess the descriptive quality which is
characteristic of most Indian place
names in Canada, for when the lake
was discovered by Tom Wilson of
Banff in 1882, it was found to be
teeming with trout. Mr.. Wilson
promptly renamed it Emerald Lake
because of it's marvellous coloring,
which is always changing, sweeping
the whole gamut of blue, green,
amethyst and violet, undershot by
varying tones of green and gold as
If some magician were mixing COL
ors in its magic bowl. But it bore
the name Emerald only until 1884,
when it was renamed in honor of
Princess Louise.
Indians Led Way.
The story of the discovery of Lake
Louise is romantic chapter in the
history of the opening up of the
Canadian Rockies. Mr.. Wilson, a
noted western guide, had pitched his
tent near an Indian camp, and dur
ing the night was aroused by the
sound of an avalanche some dis
tance away. The Indians told him
1t was the sound of thunder from
the Big Snow Mountain above the
Lake of Little Fishes" The next
day one of the Indians agreed to
show Mr.. Wilson this lake, and the
wonder of it left him almost breath
less. The Indian told him there
were other lakes higher up the
mountains and that one of these
was called THE Goats Looking
Glass" because Rocky Mountain
goats came there to comb their
boards" This would be one of the
Lakes in the Clouds" probably Mir
ror Lake, which nestle high up the
mountain side over $500 feet above
sea level These little lakes are
among the finest examples of cirque
lakes in the Rocky Mountains and
lie actually above the clouds.
Lake Louise is some 40 miles west
of Banff, in the Province of Alber-
ia, which province also bears one of
the christian names of Princess
Louise.
Resort Springs Up.
For several years after the dis
covery of Lake Louise, small cha
let housed few guests who visited
that part of the Canadian Rockies,
but as the fame of it's beauty spread,
accommodation was extended, cul-
minating in the erection of the Cha
teau Lake Louise and several other
hostels.
Moraine Lake, in the majestic
"Valley of the Ten Peaks" lies
about eight miles to the south.
Along the north shore of this lake
stands huge semi-circle of frown-
ing mountains known as the Ten
Peaks. which originally were given
the names of the 10 numerals of
the Stony Indian language.
Wild life is abundant in this re-
gion, and includes big game such
as Bighorn sheep, Rocky Mountain
goat, deer, elk, moose, black and
brown bear, as well as numerous
smaller animals. Birds, too, are
plentiful, and some 500 varieties of
wild flowers await the nature lover

of the mountains.

BY JACQUES FUTRELLE, JR.,
Travel Editor.

Washington Irving's Rip Van
Wrinkle has his counterpart in many
parts of the world, but in Japan
one can visit what the Nipponese
fondly tell their children is the
grave of the parents of Rips an
cient predecessor, Urashima- -taro.
In Yoka1ama, near Rempo- il
Temple, is an old stone pagoda.
Here, the traveller is told, lie buried
the mother and father of Urashima,
character known to all japanese.
For centuries they have heard of
the kind-hearted fisherman and
his adventure with a strange turtle.
Legend says Urashima was born at
Miura, near Yokoshuka, and that
one day he saw some boys tor
menting turtle. He purchased it
and set it free. Later the fisherman.
walking along the beach, saw huge
tortoise rise from the sea and offer
a ride upon his back. Urashima
was carried beneath the waters to
the realm of the dragon king.
AS he started to return to land.
after visit of three years in the
magnificent palace, the princess
handed Urashima casket, with the
stern warning not to open it. Back
in the village. the fisherman found
everything strange None knew
him and he recognized no one. Per-
haps, he reasoned, the secret to the
situation lay in the casket. And he
opened it.
Smoke rose from the box, and
Urashima-taro suddenly aged. Well
he might have been old, for Ura-
shima had left his home in the 22d
year (487 A. d. of the reign of En-
peror Yuryaku and he opened the
mystic casket in the reign of En-
peror Junna, in 825 A. D.
Delightfully."- terrifying are the
tales the traveller hears in Canada S
Gaspe region-if only he pauses to
listen. The "quickie" tourist with a
time-crowding itinerary would hard
ly stop by the water front or on the
farm long enough to strike up more
than a nodding acquaintance with
some native who, living close to a
nature that is at times benevolent
and at other times narrowing, knows
the supernatural almost, but not
quite, at first hand. And he tells
about 1t with shuddering impressive
ness.
