Garden Of the Gods Woven
Into Ute Indian Legends

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
May 23.-Known to millions Of vis-
itors since 1t was opened to the pub
lie in the early years OF the present
century, the Garden Of the Gods is
a fantastic collection Of red lime
stone rocks at the base Of world
famous Pixies Peak.
Three Of the giant rocks are more
than 800 feet high and their gro
tesque shapes suggest all sorts OF
names, such as Kissing Camels,. Ship
Rock, Cathedral Spires and Bal
anced Rock. Biologists say the up
thrust Of limestone, OF which the
Garden of the Gods is the most
spectacular unit, extends along the
entire eastern base of the Rockies
from Canada to Mexico.
Legend has 1t that many, many
moons ago, when the Ute Indians
were living in peace at the foot of
the Holy Mount (Pikes Peak, a bar
baric host Of giants advanced from
the plains. They were so big, ac-
cording to legend, that In sight OF
their foes, "the Utes were as grass
hoppers." Accompanying the giants
were monstrous beasts.
The Utes, terrorized, prayed to
their great god Manitou, whose gaze
caused the giants and their beasts
to instantly turn to stone. Thus
was formed the Garden of the Gods,

HALIFAX, May 23.-Tourists are
probably the greatest collection OF
collectors known, but today have
learned to look for the more prac-
tical kind Of souvenir.
In Nova Scotia the visitor will
find momentoS which he will be
able to use upon returning home
and be a practical as we'll as a
pleasant reminder OF a happy va

rugs are two of the best buys. Ma
tive handicrafts flourish in all Sec
tions Of this province and some
lovely examples Of these arts may
be bought.
Descendants Of Nova Scotia's first
settlers have retained a rare skill in
various handicrafts that were 50
necessary a part of the life OF every
household in pioneer days. Their
hooked rugs have earned q CONT
nent-wide reputation.
Besides fine woolens and hooked
rugs, Nova Scotians make interest

Maine Popularity Based
On Pre-Machine Ace

AUGUSTA, Me-, May 23.-It was
81 years ago this summer that
Msine's popularity as q recreation
center began-long before the days
Of automobiles, airplanes or modern
railroad transportation. Back in the
days before the Civil War the beauty
of the Mount Desert region was dis
covered by a group of 26 New York
ers headed by Charles Tracy, the
father of Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan,
S., who came with him as girl.
The nearest railroad terminal was
at Bangor. so miles away over a
rough road; steamship service was
not established until 1858: but these
hardships were no deterrents to the
hundreds Of New Workers and Bos-
tonians who started the first sum-
mer colony In Bar Harbor. They
spent long vacation days boating,
climbing, picnicking, buckboarding,
studying nature and relaxing on the
rocks.
A survey Of resort hotels and high
grade sporting camps indicates that
some Of their proprietors must
have foreseen today's transportation
problem, for in many cases modern
recreational facilities are literally at
the front door. Golf enthusiasts
will recall that at several of the
big resort hotels players step from
the front porch to the first tee. while
tennis courts are within a stones
throw. Inasmuch as practically all
these hotels and camps are located
on the water front, fishing. boating
and water sports are within stroll
ing distance.
This type Of hotel or sporting
camp does not expect to be seriously
affected by the gasoline and tire
situation, but rather looks for the
usual number Of guests, as well as
new ones. who formerly took long
touring vacations to far-distant
parts Of the continent.

MID-EAST MENACED
Evidence continued to pile up in
dicating that Hitler was making a
great effort to strike at the key
communications lines and the oil
fields of the Middle East. He had
made little progress, however, and
Turkish speculation suggested that
the Allies might be planning to
open strong new air fronts against
the enemy with the aid of the
American Army air corps.
In Libya, the Germans and Ital-
ianS under Col. Gen. Erwin Rom
mel sought to follow up the Medit-
dranean sea battle with an encir-

Rezegh on the east Both were
thrown back British communique
said.
The Axis desert corps did not
attempt an attack on the main Brit
ish forces at Ell Adem directly
south of Tobruk. New battles Of
greater magnitude were expected
on the desert front without delay.
Allies were encouraged, however,
by the work of the American army
air corps in its first big action
against the Axis during the four
day battle of two conveys. The con-
voys fought their way through to
Tobruk and Malta with needed sup
plies, despite considerable losses. 1t
was said that the long-range Amer
ican Consolidated B-24 bombers,
known to the British as LiberatorS,
were expected to play an increasing
ly important role in patrolling the
Mediterranean and guarding against
any Axis attempt to strike at Syria
or the Suez canal.
