Floating Bridge Used
For Many Years
Now Has Detour

TORONTO, July 26.-The
flooating bridges of Chemong
Lake in the Kawartha Lakes
district of Ontario and long a
tourist attraction, have a new
interest this year. One of the
two bridges is IA miles long
the longest floating bridge in
the world-and It now also
boasts a detour.
When it was found that 1t
was necessary to make repairs
to the bridge, the clever engi-
neers constructed a sort Of ~"
branching out from the main
part and built exactly like the
rest Of the bridge, and over
this the traffic moves unin-
terrupted, with water tapping
the edges of the planks and
every one quite unconcerned.
These floating bridges are
made Of planks of wood, an
chored by chains to q series OF
concrete pilons sunk in the
lake and have been in use for
many years.

Week in West Tours
Center Around Yellowstone

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL
PARK, July 26.-For several years,
visitors to Yellowstone via Gallatin
Gateway have been extending their
Western vacations by spending from
a few days to a week or two at Gal
latin Gateway Inn. Last year, Of
fetal park tours were reduced from
three and one-half to two and one
half days. AS practically all trav-
elers wish to remain in the Rocky
Mountain region longer than that.
planned vacations including a stay
at the inn were organized.
These "week-in-the-West" vaca-
tions were so well received that they
will be offered again this summer
The plan includes the regular tour
of Yellowstone plus a stay of four
days or longer at Gallatin Gateway
Inn, at one fixed price. The rate
includes such side trips as the guest
may wish to make into the surround
ing Rocky Mountain recreational
region.
On a typical vacation, the tour
party would leave Gallatin Gate
way Inn in open-top coaches for the
80-mile mountain drive to Yellow
stone, arriving at Old Faithful the
same afternoon. Two days are spent
in this land of Spouting geysers and
bubbling 'paintpots." of the glor-
iously colorful Grand Canyon and of
beautiful Yellowstone Lake. On the
third Gay, the party is back at Gal
latin Gateway Inn in time for din
ner.
The remainder of the week is oc-
cupied in making side trips from the
inn. One day is spent in driving
over the mountains into the beauti-
full Madison River Valley for visit
to historic Virginia City. This town
one of the Oldest in Montana, has
many buildings dating back to
vigilante days. On a nearby hill is
the famous Boot Hall cemetery
where five notorious outlaws are
buried. And nearby is Alder Gulch
where visitors may try their hands
at panning fold in stream that was
once the scene of the richest placer
gold strike in the State.
Another motor trip of unusual in
terest is to newly-opened Morrison
Cave. This new State park has been
recently developed by the National
Park Service. The seven chambers
of the cave, connected by winding
passages in the rock, are more than
half a mile in length. The cave is
spectacularly situated high up in the
Tobacco Root Mountains overlook
ing the Jefferson River and valley.

Lottery Stubs and Vaudeville
Come With Cafes Coffee

CORDOBA, Argentina, July Co.
In most South American cities peo-
pie visit a cafe to have cup Of
coffee, but not so in Cordoba, thriv-
ing capital of one of the provinces Of
Argentina.
At Cordoba's leading cafe coffee
has become almost a side line, for
customers patronizing it may have
their shoes shined, buy a lottery
ticket or a newspaper from a wan
dering salesman, drink a glass of
beer, take in a vaudeville show and
perhaps throw an amorous glance
or two at nearby young lady, dis
creetly chaperoned by her mother
and perhaps the rest of the family
also.
From until about Z o'clock every
evening this cafe has more hustle
than the proverbial three-ring cir
Gus. Scores of people wander about
looking for seats, among the hum
dreds of customers already seated.
Bootblacks park in the aisles and go
about their trade, while stolid wait

terry ticket statesmen thrust hands,

But these myriad distractions
have not the least effect on typical
Cordobese, or resident of Cordoba.
He has come for the vaudeville
show, consisting of several perform
ers and a small orchestra, and only
to it does he pay any attention.
The price of this entertainment
is solely the price of ones food and
drink.
After the dinner hour in Cordoba
residents of the city usually visit
Sarmiento Park for another bit of
entertainment. The cafe there is
entirely in the open air. For a few
cents one can buy q cup of coffee or

Will Rogers Shrine Stands
Al Haunt Of Humorisf

COLORADO SPRINGS, July 26.
The Will Rogers Shrine of the
Sun, halfway up Cheyenne Noun
tain, near Colorado Springs, is one
of Colorado's most impressive at
! fractions.
Built of stone cut from one solid
block of Colorado granite. the shrine
dominates the landscape for miles
around. At night, concealed flood
lights highlight the monument as it
stands sentry duty.
The shrine is fashioned after an
English feudal castle with particu-
lar attention toward making it ap-
pear rugged. More than 1900 tons
of Colorado pink granite went into
the construction of the shrine. The
rest Of the building is made of steel
and concrete and no nails or wood
have been used.
Inside. the shrine are four floors.
The first depicts in murals the his
tory of the Colorado Springs region
while the other three floors are filled
with pictures telling the story of
Will Rogers life.
The late Spencer PenroSe, a Colo
rado Springs pioneer, built the
monument in memory of his friend
and he chose the site because it was
at this particular point that he and
Rogers had so often stood and ad-
mired the beauty of the surrounding
country. A plaque on the stairway
states that it was from this point
that Zebulon Pike first saw the peak
which bears his name.

Millionaire Plans
To Develop Nassau's S
Paradise Beach
Resort Village Being
Built at Direction Of
Swedish PhiIonthropist

NASSAU, N. P, Bahamas, July 26.
The purchase of Paradise Beach
by Axel Wenner-Gren, philanthropic
Swedish millionaire who is making
his home in Nassau, Is the newest
development in this resorts 1941
tourist boom.
Altho ough Mr.. Wenner- -Gren's
plans for Paradise Beach are still in
the formative stage, he has disclosed
that he proposes a number of
changes which, he believes, will add
to the fame of this cosmopolitan
playground.
Paradise Beach Is q sheltered
crescent of sloping, white beach,
fringed with gaily-colored cabanas
and palm-shaded terraces, overlook
ing an expanse of ocean streaked
with the rare coloring of Bahamian
waters. 1t Is on the north side of
Hog Island, the long, narrow island
which protects Nassau's harbor.
Resort Village Planned.
When the extensive changes and
improvements are completed the
beach will be associated with Para
disc Town, a year-around resort vii
lage which is under construction on
site adjoining Mr.. Wenner-Gren's
magnificent Hog Island estate,
Shangri, La
Mr.. Wenner-Gren's first step upon
acquiring Paradise Beach was to
slash admission prices for the sum-
mer. Daily luncheons, featuring
Bahamian dishes, are served to the
accompaniement of music by native
minstrels. Later, in connection with
distinctive shops, visitors will be able
to buy Bahamian peasant craft
work and other merchandise typical
of the Bahamas.
The famous photosphere of John
Ernest Williamson has been moved
to Paradise Beach. Mr.. William
son welcomes visitors to his Jules
Verne III, a white barge from
which he lowers the flexible tube
down which sightseers descend into
the Atom metal ball through whose
great window can be seen the drama

Bezan as Poor Boy.
A poor Swedish boy, Axel Wen
ner-Gren arrived in the United
States in 1908. hoping to get the
European agency for gasoline mo-
/ tor. but when that plan collapsed
he went to work for IS cents week
in the factory which made the
motors.
On the boat which took him back
to Europe he met Marguerite Lig-
gett. daughter of Kansas City
merchant, whom he married. In
| Europe Mr.. Wenner-Gren acquired
rights to vacuum cleaner, perfect
ed it and with his profits backed
two Swedish scientists who devel-
oped refrigeration by gas.

Maine Towns Old Homes
To Be Displayed Aug. 13

WISCASSET, Me, July 26.-This
little Maine community, famous for
its magnificent examples of early
American architecture, will hold its
14th annual Open House Day on
August 13.
Many of the finest of the old
homes, including the noted Sortwell
and Smith houses, will again be open
to the public that day.
Wiscasset and its old homes have
become increasingly well known in
recent years because of the visits
of architects from all parts of the
| Nation who come here to obtain
source material.
The majority of Wiscasset homes
were built for wealthy sea captains
who obtained their riches in the Far
East trade during the last century.
Wiscasset's heyday was in 1872 when
it was one of the most opulent towns
| of its size in the world. Today, the
little, elm-shaded coastal town is
much as it was in those days.
Extremely little modern building
has taken place in latter years thus
| the charm of the town has been
preserved.
There is little organized activity
here on Open House Day. Visitors
simply drift from one point of in
tereSt to the other. Lunch and tea
is served under the elmS on the lawn
of the Sortwell house by the ladies
of the town.
Wiscasset was discovered" dur
ing the present generation after the
craze for ultra modern construction
and design had subsidized and people
turned to the simple beauty Of the
Colonial period.
The Georgia period, often called
the golden age of American arci1i-
lecture, is perpetuated in Wiscasset'i
finest homes.

back, Jeff knew, belonged to Brett Sards.
Jeff moved from the doorway to the bar and
gave his order.
As the bartender moved away Brett turned
insolent eyes on Jeff and said, "A saloon is
one place that's not particular about it's
customers"
The silence hung heavily as jeff finished

Friend Brett" he said ooolly, people

were brightly hard as he said tightly Brett,

saloon, but harsh voice drew him up short.
There was venom in the words Brett slammed
at him.
Damn you, jeff do have to kick you
like a cur to make you fght?" -
Jeff turned slowly and faced the man,
knowing at last that something had come
which he could not avoid. His courage was
many -times-proven thing, but there are times
when a man, to be man, must face the
issues which pile up against him and push
them aside with his strength - or be srnoth-
cred by them. The man whom he faced was
after his blood. To Jeff it seemed at that
moment that he and Brett were the only two
occupants of the world. The other men in the
saloon were pressed close to the walls silent
and staring.
Jeff's whole attention was frozen to the
other man. waiting for the move which he
knew would come. It came swiftly and
silently, as Brett's body bent slightly at the
knees, his shoulder dipped, and his quick
hand dropped to the butt of his gun. In less
