about the continual drag.

The Down Town Association OF
San Francisco in 1888 mapped out
a. 49-mile drive to carry tourists to
the outstanding scenic and historical
areas in the vicinity. Visitors to
the exposition on Treasure Island
may recall 1t, for it was well worn
by out-of State tires in those days.
AS a pleasure boulevard it was
closed during the war period; fol-
lowing through on the route for
pure enjoyment was taboo. But
now it is opened again, refurbished
and distinctively marked by attrac-
tive directional signs.
Some changes have been made In
the routings over what is publicized
as the 49-nile scenic drive. The
course was relaid over certain Sec

Fall foliage has been a major
inspiration for scenic drives since
the automobile took over from the
horse and buggy. and of late years
Except for gas-rationed wartirne)
has been the incentive for longer
tours. With the approach OF In
dian summer, vivid, healthy colors
already are creeping into the forests
in the topmost tier of States, and
the tourist industry has begun to
keep September and October vaca-
TONERS posted on the flaming
leaves" situation.
A rule of thumb says that the tide
of color sweeps southwark at the
rate of 100 miles a week. So word
from New Hampshire serves to re-
mind the Washington tourist that
fall colors will begin to appear be-
fore the month is out. The Granite
State is one of the first to mention
the approaching season, and has
geared up a Statewide system of
reporting the progress of this in
vasion of beauty into the different
areas. The service was set up not
only for tourists, whose impressions
grow dim in the minds eye, but
amateur and professional photog-
raphers who catch the scene per-
manently on color f1lm.
Ordinarily. the height of the color
season in New Hampshire fingers
from October / to IA. 1t varies, as
elsewhere, according to the weather
and locality, and the moterist may
expect to find some Northern areas
in full color by mid-September.
That is the general rule. To prevent
disappointment by those not too
aware of the advanced or retarded
season, however. the State Develop
ment Commission perfected its re-
porting system. Information on va
rious localities will be passed along
to the public in four bulletins, the
first due about September 10.
Reports of autumn color from each
subdivision Of New Hampshire are
sent weekly to the commission by
1OI eSb 11IC IOOzAOuUS 6l1u OUA1S1 wv
servers. The reports then are con-
solidated on q printed map and
mailed to those who have registered
interest with the commission. The
commission also has listed q series
Of proposed routes for fall-color
tourists and those who wish to see
the States outstanding attractions
by automobile.
Briefly, the best way to see New
Hampshire (and this is recon-
mended by the commission as well
as tourists who have been there) is
to drive up one side OF the White
Mountains, cross over at one Of the
several notches and return on the
other side. Such route combines
everything ng-mountains, lakes and
seacoast.
A calendar Of New Hampshire
events appear to center on Colun1-

season. Some attractions close

And how far would he 60 in countering

the end.
Mr.. Lodge may be victim of misunder-

is the clients product. The basic task is to

Selling America

The job of telling the world about Ameri-
ca the real America and selling the world
on our good intentions has been sally ne
elected. And what has been done about it,
hasn't been done very well. Almost any
Americans will admit that, but few have
come up with any new ideas.
An exception is Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge
Jr. Mr. Lodge saw service with the Army
in Europe during the war. He has been
back there twice in the last year, so he
has a good idea of the before-and-af
attitudes of public opinion in those
countries.
Not surprisingly, the senator found that
Europeans are being fed pack of lies
general. In the absence of effective rebuff
tai, those lies are being believed. He tells
about them in some detail in Golfers and
also offers his suggestions for doing a bet
ter job.
Briefly, Mr.. Lodge thinks that our sal
vation is to send abroad more men with
experience in such fields as journalism
and politics really political minded" men
familiar with conditions overseas and fluent
in languages He doesn't believe in press
agents. To leave our information program
in their hands, he says, is Completely to
misunderstood its nature and it's import
ance"
His suggestions include 13 specific steps,
First he would make certain that the Presi-
dent and secretary of state coordinated
their activities. AS an example of unco-
ordination he cites Mr. Truman's interview
on Russian "outrages" in Hungary the
same day that Mr.. Marshall announced the
Marshall Plan, which stole the front page
from the secretary Of state.
He would have Hollywood block-book gov
ernment films into Europe with it's own
products Every time the Russians lie about
us he would have some official American
spokesman counter it with truth. He also
says that the French government agency
which allocates newsprint to French papers
IS antl-Amerlcan, and suggests that we pro-
vide some newsprint to the French press in
the hope OF getting fairer deal.
Perhaps we are being unfair to the senator
IN citing just these four examples But we of.

DR.. Nicholas M. Butler

Two names stand out like beacons in
Ameican education during the last half
century and more - Charles Eliot Norton
long president of Harvard, and Nicholas
Murray Butler, whose death occurred on
Sunday and who was associated with Col
umbia. as student teacher and president
for sixty-seven years. Both carried the
schools over which they presided to new
and unprecedented heights, but for the
moment our interest centers upon their ex-
tra-curricular activities.
Doctor Norton devoted his time. when
not actually engaged in administrative
matters at Harvard, to literary pursuits.
His contributions to what we NAV call the
"solid" part OF American literature, were
notable. Doctor Butler, on the other hand.
gave his private attention chiefly to public
affairs to reforms, to national and inter-
national problems. And wherever he spoke
his words were needed by thousands be-
yond the actual sound of his voice.
He had rare ability not only for finding
the kernel in the nut, so to speak but for
putting his thoughts into words that were
understandable in all circles and which for
the most part had the respect of persons
in general disagreement with his political
views.
After forty-four years as Columbia's pre-.
sident Doctor Butler became president
emeritus This was on October l, 1945. HI
had assumed executive responsibility il
