In addition to its delightfully."- cool
climate, the Luray area is an ideal
spot for those seeking rest and re-
cuperation after the sweltering
months and many attractions and
amusements are offered to enliven
the sojourn.
The visitor may see the under
ground splendors of the famous Lu-
ray Caverns where the air is more
accurately air-conditioned than by
any man-made process, the temper
ature never varying from 81 degrees.
Carlton recitals are given daily with
the exception Of Monday and Fri-
day. Sunday night vespers in the
Carlton Park are becoming known
throughout the South.
Nearby is Shenandoah National
Park where pleasant outings and
hikes are possible through the gor-
geous panorama of the Blue Ridge.
Within 3 miles of Luray, the
Shenandoah River winds its placid
course. and just 4 miles west
from Luray is the primeval George
Washington National Forest,
abounding with game of all de-
scription.
Accommodations in Luray are
commodious. The Mimslyn Hotel
built along early Colonial lines, lies
almost within the shadows of the
towering mountains, and the cuisine
Is reported excellent. Riding horses
and old-time horse-drawn vehicles
are furnished by the hotel.
Formations in the Luray Cayerns
are OF limitless variety, MANY of
them seemingly made in the mold
OF objects common to the world
above-ground, streamlined In accord
with modern ideas of beauty, vet
intricately detailed like old lace or
embroidery. Stalactftes, stalagmites
all in beautiful colors, underground
lakes, rejecting the skyscra pers of
miniature cities; extensive passages
and rooms, brilliantly illuminated
and fitted with safe, concrete walks:
creVlces and caves, winding away
into the unknown depths of the
earth-all give lasting impression
to the visitor.
To many newcomers in Washing
ton the diversified recreational ad-
vantages OF Maryland are little
known. Whether across the waters
OF Chesapeake Bay. through the
foothills of the Alleghenies or along
the sea-swept beaches of the East

EGGS IN AIR-The scheme for
quickly restoring Europe's poultry
fiocks after the war by flying baby
chicks from the U. S.-originally
preached last Fall-has passed from
the discussion to the experimental
stage, with notifications. Three
dozen eggs are now in an incubator
at the University of Maryland after
an airplane round trip to Los An
geles.
The freshly-laid eggs were put
aboard a transport in Washington
by DR.. Morley A. Judd, professor of
poultry husbandry at the University.
The 5,200-mile round trip was equi-
valent to the air distance to Bali
kan country. A close check was
kept on changing barometric condi-
lions and when the eggs hatch, if
they do, DR.. Judd will compare the
chicks with an equal number hatch
ed from other eggs.
From this it's hoped to determine
definitely whether eggs from Ameri-
can hens can produce poultry in

SENATE ELS QUESTIONS-The
Senate subcommittee on aviation,
headed by Bennett Champ Clark,
3D., Mo-, which has been holding
hearings looking toward the forma-
ton of postwar u. S. air policy, has
decided what questions should be
answered before such policy can
be laid down. One point which wor-
ries the subcommittee is "the dam
ger that one American company will
be played off against another by for
eign governments-the analogy of
the problem encountered in the
communications field"
That's an old argument, frequent
ly raised by disciples of monopoly on
overseas air routes. And they gen.
orally point to the chaotic condition
of U. S. international communica-
tons in claiming that competition
on foreign air routes should not be
permitted.
It's true that U. S. communica-
tons companies have been played
Off against each other by Great
Britain. But that's been possible
only because Great Britain control
led the oceanic relay stations. But
Great Britain will not control post
war air routes. In fact, the u. S.,
with the majority of planes, skilled
personnel and experience in over
water flying, will be in the drivers
seat, if not "outsmarted."

Trades Solve Many
Needs of Marines
In Southwest Pacific
BY Capt. Ellis Nj. Trefethen
Public Relations Officer, USMC)


TARAWA (Delayed) - Where
ever they are, be it Tropics or
Arctic or the thousand and one
places in between, U. S. Marines and
probably soldiers and sailors too,
have carried their Yankee "horse
trading" abilities with them.
Whether the process of obtaining
something you want for something
you don't want involves trading
with the natives for japanese
souvenirs or dealing with half
dozen quartermasters, the training
received in the boyhood pastime of
swapping proves valuable.
PrOfit-TwO Washers.
Probably the best example of
horse trading would be that carried
Ion by young quartermaster with
Marine aviation unit He started
out with a double handful of moth
ing, which is very plentiful here in
large quantities, and ended up with
two washing machines.
Members of the unit, from the
youngest private to the top ranking
''brass hat" previously had been
doing their own laundry by one of
two approved field methods. The
soiled laundry was either boiled in
an old drum, trustworthy method
that ended with all white under
clothing no longer white or no long
er underclothing, or it was scrubbed
on a board, which called for much
more energy.
The quartermaster, who halls
from Louisiana, and so would OBJ
ject to being called a Yankee"
horse trader, discovered that two
washing machines of the type found
in most any cellar were sitting, I'M
used, in the storage shed of another
unit. Adroit questioning disclosed
that that unit had an embarrassing
shortage of mess equipment, par
ticularly individual mess gear.
A Three-Way Deal.
A little more investigating re-
vealed still another unit had plenty
of mess gear but no mosquito nets.
The problem was solved-almost.
Armed with nothing but a fast line
of chatter, the Marine talked one
unit out of a number of mosquito
nets, traded them to a second unit
for mess gear and then turned the
mess gear in for the washing ma
chimes. Now the shiny, white wash
ing machines stand under a palm
matched shelter and "tattle-tale
gray has been banishd.
Exchange of a stick of dynamite
for fresh meat for the table is an
other bit of 'horse trading" that has
borne results. One unit had fresh
meat. The Marines knew the loca-
ton of reef that abounded in fish.
Under the direction of the mess Of
ficer, stick of dynamite was placed
judiciously under water on the reef
and the resulting explosion brought
some 40 or so pounds of fish to the
surface. Fresh fish was exchanged
for fresh meat.
In trading with the natives, per-
fume and gaily colored cloth bring
better bargains than five and ten"
baubles. Best trading to date:
The Marine who obtained JAP
anese pistol in good condition
(worth up to 500 on the souvenir
market) for bottle of sweet smell

There's a song the fellers

times I sure wish 1 were back

Creek again."

TRIBUNAL STANDS

Supreme Court Refuses
To Reconsider Texas
Election Case

WASHINGTON, May 8. - B -
The Supreme Court today refused
to bulge from its stand that Ne.
groes have right to vote in Tex

Without comment, the court de-
clined to reconsider its to l de.
cision of April that man can.
not be barred from participating
in the selection of ''his rulers" be.
cause of his color.
Attorney General Grover Sellers
of Texas and two Houston cleo.
ton judges who were involved ir
the original case requested a re
hearing on the ruling which upset
previous court decisions on the is.
sue.
The court based its April find.
ing on the ground that the Demo.
cratic party in Texas is required
tc follow procedure laid down by
state law in selecting nominees
and, therefore, is an agent of the
state.
Sellers argued party officials con-
duct the elections at party expense
and that the state does not have
the right to say anything about
voter qualifications.
The court also cleared the way
for broad consideration Of the
problem of japanese American
citizens who were removed from
the west coast area and sent tc
detention camps under military or.
ders shortly after the outbreak Of
the war. It agreed to hear the APP
peal of Mitsuye Endo of Sacra-

Arguments on her appeal will be
