Follows Crest of Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Washington, D. C.—Along the crest of the Blue Ridge mountains, once the haunt of wild game or an occasional mountaineer, a second segment of Virginia’s skyline drive was opened, and motorists now may glide over the summits on 65 miles of scenic highway. “Mountaineering, to those who prefer it thus, becomes a spectator sport in the Shenandoah National park along the Blue Ridge sum mits,” says the National Geo graphic society. “Over 30,000 in a day may watch the autumn color ing of the trees from a moving ringside seat along the highway. “For those who prefer nature un diluted, there are miles of trails for hikers from height to height, with MUTE SPAR MATE Evidently human sparring part Hers complained too much of the punishment they have received at 1 the hands of Everett Marshall, j claimant of the world's heavy I weight wrestling Utle, so he has as hta constant wrestling practice com* 1 panton “Sandow stein'' s wooden dummy.

Picnic grounds and parking spaces are found overlooking colorful valley viewsf their rustic fittings made of wood and stone found on the spot. “The Shenandoah National park’s 176,429 acres embrace scenery which is the happy medium for mountains. Higher, they would be less accessible, lower, they would be less picturesque. The average altitude, somewhat higher than 3,000 feet, is just sufficient to catch the shimmering blue haze which named the Blue Ridge. “A color equally as characteristic is the gray-green of many a wind- bent ‘lonesome pine’ near the ridge crests, or the deep green gloss of mountain laurel. Gray skeletons of chestnut trees, bleaching casualties of the blight years ago, stand against the green background. "Skyline drive follows the Blue Ridge crest, with gently sloping foothills on the east and a sharp drop on the west into the held checkered and town-dotted Shenan doah valley. Beyond the blue band of Massanutten Ridge, bisecting the valley, rise faint blue acallopa of the Allegheny mountaina. “From the Blue Ridge branch nu merous mountain spurs to form shadowy pockets, or ‘coves. ‘ In winter they are drifted deep with enow that lingers for weeks la summer their shady thickets are sprinkled with little waterfalls and rushing creeks Rated With His Goo.

BARRETT “Who steals my purse steals trash, but he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enrich es him and makes me poor indeed.” How true it is. A good name is to be preferred above a full purse, but a purse whether full or empty, plays an impor tant part in the development o f our lives. Time will record the full measure of good which may have come out of the depression. Already we can see some of the benefits. The empty purse caused by the shrinkage in security values, has, for many shifted the standard of values from the material to the moral and the spiritual. We have realized as never before that all gold does not glitter. We have learned to distinguiah be tween a house and a home An emp ty purse may have caused some ^hjfou . .

"The rich man of today may be come the poor, tomorrow.** The val ues that endure and mold character and life are those which cannot be contents of a full purse. No amount of money can buy knowledge, goodness, integrity, hap piness: these are impalpable, price less, and part of striving for the un seen riches of the mind and heart. No full purse can buy love: it must be given. An empty purse has a way of dis closing who our friends really are. A full purse may surround us with a lot of congenial people who pro fess friendship; an empty purse reveals the constancy of those who value us for what we are and not for what we may possess. A true friend stands by us and with us no matter how we may be rated in Bradstreet’s. One of the tragedies of the past few years was the dis covery that those whom we thought were our friends were sadly absent in the hour of need. An empty purse reveals thoughts and intents of heart as the full purse cannot do. We appreciate that for which we have to toil. When the good things of life come easily and without struggle they do not seem very val uable to us. A young man who must work his way through college on an empty purse has a great advantage over the student whose indulgent parents have given him a full purse. The principle of sacrifice releases the power of character J a* nothing else oan. Loyalties of life depend upon it. Achievements colored by sacrifice have never been thwarted. An empty purse may arouse ere suddenly to a correct evaluation at his own life purpose It is /"'kNE of the things that a woman should be careful to have bright, shining and immaculately clean is her jewelry. If it is costly, it deserves to be treated in accord ance with its worth. If it is inex pensive, it loses its beauty shortly unless it is kept in good condition. So whatever kind of jewelry you have, see that it reflects credit to its care, and con- tributes most to your costume. The equipment for cleaning jew elry is trifling. A soft bristled nail brush, a water color brush and some jeweler’s sawdust is suffi cient. The soap does not have to be any particular kind. The saw dust can be had at any good jew eler’s.

There is e saying "when every thing goes dead wrong " It is de scriptive of times when they are at to know that the great cathedrals of Europe were erected from funds provided by the poorer classes. Just so the cathedral of personality may be erected without the possession of a full purse. We grow in the likeness of that which dominates our life. If that purpose be self and self only, even a full purse is not suf ficient. If that purpose be sympathy with others, personality and not pos sessions is the all important aspect. An empty purse will never cause one to fail to give to the world the best he has, that the best may come back to him. & Western Newspaper Union. their worst, or seem to be. When a time like this comes to us (and few have lives when something akin to such a situation does not befall us), we need imperatively to cling to every shred of good that we can find. To worry is but to add fuel to the flames of misfortune and the smoke which arises will cloud our mental vision. What we need is to see clearly. When we do, we shall act wisely, if we are true to our bet ter judgments. There is one consoling thought “when everything goes dead wrong,” and that is that whatever change comes, it cannot fail to be for the better. If we think it could not be for the improvement of things, then everything is not as bad as it could be. We might be worse off. We still have something to be thankful for. Constructive thinking is needed when our affairs are not going well, it may be that being forced to make plans, and to take action is the very best thing that could possibly happen. Perhaps we have advanced aa far aa we can in what appeared to us to be a good course. Some thing better may be In store for us. It may be that we need to be brought up with a round turn.
