Range to Grafton Notch and the
Maine-New Hampshire line.
The 166-mile section in Maine is
the northern end of the 2O5O-mile
trail extending down the Eastern
seaboard to Mount Oglethorpe in
Georgia. The guide to the Maine
section is a guide to much of Maine s
finest woods, lakes and mountains.
The guide not only furnishes the
detailed description of the trail
route, with exact distances taken on
the ground with a measuring wheel,
but also tells of all points of in
terest en- route, the approaches to
the trail, and indicates all public
accommodations and campsites.
Good Armchair Reading.
The section on Katahdin is prob
ably the most interesting part of
the volume, certainly to the arm
chair traveller" One hundred and
twenty-four pages are devoted to
comprehensive description of the
entire Katahdin country, with COM
plete descriptions of the mountain,
the outlying peaks and ranges, the
trails and all of the approaches. It
is the most complete account to be
found anywhere in print. 1t is sup
plemented by a detailed, contoured
two-color map.
This fourth edition, of 592 pages,
contains 200 more pages than the
third edition of 1898. Much of the
material is new and all has been re-
written, revised and brought up to
date.

looks like an ordinary book, the

Little Surprises Make Mexico
Charming Tourist Land

Where but in Mexico would you
ever encounter humble craftsman
who would steadfastly refuse the
lure of money if 1t meant COM
promising his esthetic desires? In
Mexico this happens all the time.
One remembers the sarape weaver
in Michoacan whose wonderful skill
was being admired one afternoon
by a little matron from Chicago.
He had just completed a besuti-
fully designed sarape for friend
of hers and she wanted him to
weave her another one just like it.
He refused to do so. ''11l give you
10 pesos more than my friend paid"
she finally argued.
Still he refused. They argued
for half-hour and finally the
Indian said to her with an apolo-
getic smile, I'm sorry, senorita
but cannot oblige you. I have
just finished working on the sarape
your friend bought and it does not
interest me to repeat the design
1 am planning to weave beautiful
new pattern into my next sarape
and, if you wish, will gladly sell
it to you when it is finished"
She was so impressed by the
weaver's skill that she returned to
the village some months later to
buy the sarape which he had been
working on all that time. 1t was
beauty and completely different
from the one her friend had pur-
chased. And SO she had a stunning
sarape and a good story.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 3.-In
Mexico one expects extraordinary
landscapes and exotic people in COL
orful costumes. You knew before
hand, perhaps, about gardenias and
snow-covered volcanoes, the hidden
convent. Aztec pyramids and Mayan
ruins, pagan rituals, curious Indian
villages and architecturally fabulous
colonial cities. But what you prob
ably didn't know thing about are
the simple little surprises that make
Mexico really different.
You found the first one out for
yourself the day you decided to
sneak in little shopping just be-
fore lunch and discovered that all
places of business are closed be-
tween l o'clock and $3.50. At midday
every one goes home to eat a heavy
dinner an dthen sleep it off before
returning TO rthe afternoons work.
The 15-minute quick-lunch is un-
heard of in Mexico where people
take their eating seriously And
why shouldn't ,they-the food is good
especially fried maguey worms. an
appetizing little dainty taken with
mezcal, the national drink.
Where but in Mexico would you
see barefoot peasants driving droves
of cackling turkeys before them
down the city's most fashionable
boulevard? The Paseo de la Re-
forma is Mexico Fifth avenue, and
you see not only turkeys, but also
COWS traversing its aristocratic, tree
shaded lanes.
Where but in Mexico would a
storekeeper close his shop to take
you on Ha-mile walk to building
you are trying to locate, because
you can't understand Spanish and
he's afraid you'll miss it if he doesn't
accompany you?
When you go visiting in Mexico
your hostess informs you that this
is your house And if you admire
any of her possessions she will tell
you, 1T is yours" What's more,
she means it. Mexican courtesy and
hospitality are so overwhelming
that most Americans don't know
what to make of it. It's as dazzling
and as genuine as the tropic sun
itself.

New Issue Of Guide
To Appalachian Trail
In Maine Available
Gives Extensive Dutu
On 266-MiIe Pathway
Of Outstanding Scenes

AUGUSTA, Me-, Oct. 3.-Because
Ut world conditions and gasoline and
tire shortages, many who have here
tofore travelled abroad or westward
for their vacations will stay in the
East. So in spite of these shortages
Maine can expect to see a great
number of late summer and autumn
travellers in her forests.
Many have been accustomed to
traversing the unsettled portions OF
the country with camping equip
ment; others to staying at camps or
lodges and exploring the country
around. For the first, the "a lean
tos along the Appalachian Trail in
Maine furnish camping sites and
shelter; for the second, the sporting
camps are the answer.
Both groups want to know some
thing of the possibilities of the coun-
.try for hiking and for recreation.
For this reason the announcement
by the Maine Appalachian Trail Club
of the publication Of the fourth edi-
ton of Guide to the Appalachian
Trail in Maine" is of especial interest
just now.
