This eliminated % large number of proposed areas and allowed Wie committee to concentrate Its efforts on a few tliat appeared to be possible sites on account of tlielr slate, location and •favorable scenic features. These Bites; have been thoroughly examined. • The committee laid 4fc>wn u few simple retirements for Its guidance In seeking an area Which could be favorably reported to you for the 'possible consideration of Congress: M'liiniHin scenery with Inspiring- perspectives and delightful detail" 0 3T / ^lue cRidQe oMountains commended to Congress by Official Committee 77T Jozr77iz'7?rr AP&LLACiOAKS Beauty Of Hair Skin Preserved By Cuticura SoaptodsMM, Oinlinsn* to Heal By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN HENANDOAH NATIONAL park may be established by congress on the • summit of the Blue Ridge in Virginia. • Secretary Work's Southern Appa- • lachlnn National park committee has • recommended the area over all oth- *W era in its report to congress. There is enthusiasm in the "National Park Army"--something like 5,000,000 strong--for the project. Only one of the 19 national parks is east of the Mississippi--Lufayette, on the Island of Mount Desert, Maine. There is a general feeling that there should be a national park in the Appalachians. The South and Southeast are of course supporting the movement. The capital is unofficially supporting the establishment of Shenandoah; less than three hours over the Le? highway takes Its people to the park and from the Blue Ridge may be seen the Washington monument. •» Please note, however, that the lettered title carries with it a question mark. Apparently there are at least three "Ifs" between the committer's recommendation and the "consummation devoutly to be wish'd." The general proposition may be stated thus: Shenandoah National park will be established-- If sectional rivalries and jealousies do not bring to naught the whole movement to establish a Rational park In the southern Appalachians. If landowners do not attempt to hold up Uncle* Sam In the matter of prices. If congress can be induced to appropriate funds for the purchase of about 700 square miles at reasonable prices. As to these three "Ifs" this may be said: It' now looks as if several disappointed areas have forgotten their altruistic promises, are Ignoring the fact that the selection was made by a disinterested commission of experts and are planning a fight in congress against the Blue Ridge. Anyway, the bills introduced for the creation of national parks of other areas would seem to dispel the Idea of united action. As to prices: The land In the Bine Ridge area is of course all in private ownership. The committee intimates In its report that a "spirit of constructive co-operation on the part of the state of Virginia and among some of the large land-owners promise reasonable prices and perhaps a number of donations." The committee did not attempt to estimate the cos^ of purchase, not feeling sure of. Its authority in that particular. The report to congress concludes with this suggestion: » We suggest that If congress thinks favorably of this proposed park sit«j, a commission be appointed to handle the purchase and to solicit contributions, and to arrange condemnation proceedings If the state of Virginia deems it wise. The creation of such a park may well be made contingent on a limited total land cost. A bill has been Introduced for the creation of a commission to investigate and report to congress the cost of acquisition of the Blue Ridge area. It provides for an appropriation of $10,000 to cover. /. the expense. ' ";' • As to the chances of the passage by congress of an establishing act carrying with it an appro-^ priation for purchase of the area: Anything^Ts possible, for congress has no settled national park policy. Ktertial vigilance on the part of the "National Park Army" is necessary to keep it from passing all sorts of freak legislation. In one respect, however, congress has been practically consistent It has declined to appropriate money for the purchuse of national park areas. The sceulc national parks of the West have been created from public lands. Lafayette was given to the nation by the property-owners. Efforts to secure the establishment by congress of a national park in the Appalachians are of long standing. The areas proposed were, however, not np to the national park standards of the national park service and the "Army" and the various bills came to naught. Then the movement for an Appalachian national park became so strong that Secretary Work of the Interior department appointed a committee of five experts to make a thorough Investigation of the Appalachian region and select the area best suited to national park purposed This committee was disinterested, conscientious and capable; incidentally its members served without pay and paid their o\Vn expenses. The fthoto^ graph herewith reproduced shows the five on the slope of Mount Mitchell. North Carolina's most noted mountain. From left to right, they are: Gregg, Temple, Smith, Welsh and Kelsey. Chaifv man Henry W. Temple Is a representative from Pennsylvania, a college man. -professor and minister.' William C. Gregg of New Jersey is a leader in the National Arts Club of New York, a director in the National Parks association and a student of recreational development through parks. Glenn S. Smith Is acting chief topographic engineer of the United States Geological survey and represented Secretary Work on the committee. Maj. William A. Welsh Is chief engineer and general manager of the Palisades Interstate park of New York and New Jersey and a park expert of international reputation. Harlan P. Kelsey of. Massachusetts Is a former president of the Appalachian club of Boston and a noted landscape engineer. The committee spent eight months 111; visiting sugij^ted areas in Georgia, North Caro* : Una, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Alnbama : and Kentucky. The nub of its report is this: We have found many areas wfilch could well be chosen, but the committee was charged with the responsibility of selecting the best, all things con- . eldered. Of these several possible sites the Great""7 Smoky mountains easily stand first because of the height of mountains, depth of valleys, ruKKedness of the area and the unexampled variety of trees,', shrubs and plants. The region Includes Mt. Ouyot, Mt. LeConte, Cllngmans Dome and Gregory Bald,, and r ay be extended In several directions to include other splendid mountain regions adjacenjt_ thereto. The Great Smokies have some handicaps which will make the development of them Into a national - park a matter of delay; their very rugtredness and height make road and other park development a serious undertaking is to time and expense. The excessive raliifall also (not yet accurately determinedj la an element for future study and Investl- , gaiion In relation both to the development work, subsequent administration and recreational ruse as a national park. The Blue lUdge of Virginia, one of the sections which had your committee's careful study, whila secondary to the Great Smokies .In altitude and some other features, constitute in our Judgment the outstanding and logical place for the creation of the first national park in the .Southern Appalachians. We hope It will be made Into a national park and that Its success will encourage the congress to c&eate a second park in the Great ^moky mountainlrwhich lie some 300 miles distant southwest. It will surprise the American people to learn that a national park site with fine scenic and recreational qualities can be found within a three-hour ride of our national capital, and within a day's rida of forty million of our Inhabitants. It has many canyons and gorges with beautiful cascading streams It has some splendid primeval foresta and the opportunity Is there to develop an animal refuge of national Importance. Along with the whole Southern Appalachians, this area is full of historic interest; the mountains looking down on the valleys with their many battlefields of Revolutionary and Civil war periods, and the birthplaces , of many <>f the Presidents of the United States. Within easy access are the famous caverns of the Shenandoah valley. The greatest single feature, however, la a posslble skyline drive along ^he mountain top following a continuous ridge and looking down westerly oa tfce Shenandoah valley from 2,600 to 3,500 feet be- . low and &lso commanding a view of the Piedmont pltil'n, strttehing easterly to the Washington monument which landmark of our national capital may be seen on a clear day. Pew scenic drives in tha world could surpass it. . The care with which the Work committee went about its work is shown by the following excerpt from its report: 1 It is the opinion of the committee that a park In the East should be located. If possible, where it will benefit the greatest number and it should be of svffl<-'*nt to n,®"t the need" a" * recre»- Areas sufficiently extensive and adaptable so that annually millions of visitors might enjoy the benefits of outdoor life and communion with natura Without the confusion of overcrowding. A substantial part to contain forests, shrubs and flowers and mountain streams, with picturesque fasciidns and waterfalls overhung with foliage, all Untouched by the hand of man. Abundant springs and streams available for .-camps and fishing. Opportunities for protecting and developing the •Wild life of the area and the whole to be a natural inuseum, preserving outstanding features of the Southern Appalachians aa they appeared lit the early pioneer days. . Accessibility by rail and road. Elsewhere in Its report the committee says: "Many of the areas In these mountains having unquestionable national park features are now in the national forests under government control and so available for recreational use; the committee .is not disposed to suggest a change In their present Status." The reference Is to the forests that have been purchased under the Weeks act to protect "the watersheds of navigable southern rivers. A picture shows what happens to these Appalachian mountain forests wherever they are accessible enough to warrant lumbering. Secretary Work Has..approved the,Temple report. He says he is convinced that a second national park should be established In the Great Smokies. He thinks that the commission nsked of congress should study the cost of acquiring the ' Gteat Smokies as well as the Blue Ridge.' • Shenandoah National park has many friends. • For example, Mrs. John I>. Sherman, president of the General Federation of Women's clubs, has sent out an appeal to the women of America, in which she says: "I appeal, not to the General Federation only, but to the women of America, to support whole-heartedly and enthusiastically the Choice of Secretary Work's committee. ... I Jiope that in the near future we shall have the opportunity to welcome the Great Smoky Mountains National park, which la conceded to be a scenic area of even greater magnificetnte and natural beauty." f The Insert map shows the relative location of the Blue Ridge and Great Smokies. The larger map gives a good idea of Shenandoah and Its environs. \\ hat a marvel It la that an area of virgin forest 66 miles long and from 8 to 18 miles •wide exists within seeing distances of the national capital! It is one of the natural beauty spots of America, a worthy exhibit of its kind. A survey shows a thousand miles of trout streams; twenty mountain peaks; two gorges containing cataracts aaore than three miles long; noble forests of many . varieties of trees--much of it "unspoiled by the hand of man. Stony Man rises to 4,0.'{1 feet, a Sleep pyramid from which Is a panoramic view. Great Fork Is 4,500 feet high. And so on. And this is historic ground. The ancient and famous Spottswood. trail was built to open the wilderness which Governor Spottswood and his Knights of the Horseshoe discovered by crossing the Blue Ridge In the early days of Virginia. The Shenandoah valley contains' many a hard-fought battlefield of the Civil war. And all around, within sight from the mountains of the park, are birthplaces and burial places of the great and famous and landmarks that spell history. Incidentally, what an opportunity Is here for some American multi-millionaire seeking a memortal. Nowadays the thrills have largely gone out of establishing a foundation and endowing'a college. But suppose a man bought with his millions 700 square miles of national park area and presented it to the people to be forever a natural history museum and a national playground! Alnd •appose he put a few more of his millions Into an endowment making possible a trip to that detectable land by women and children to whom it would be as a foretaste of heaven! Had Some Grounds for His Statement Proof positive Is arrived at In various ways. One method is pleasantly described by an American newspaper man abroad, who acts aa correspondent for a leading Journal in the United States. - Not far from the harbor of Naples, he says, his party sighted a rocky Islet apparently two miles offshore. An elderly man approached the correspondent on deck and said, politely: '" iv.iiiiMliiTiis i "Do you know whether th|s is Mt. Vesuvius or not?" The American replied with equal politeness: "I don't know what it is, but I do know that It is not Vesuvius.*' "But," said the elderly man, with an air of triumph, "if you don't know what It is, how do you know that.it isn't Vesuvius?" "Because," said the American, pinning him with his glittering eye. "b»- cause Vesuvius is Inland and this Is outland; because this rock is three miles round and Vesuvius is about thirty miles round; because this is an island and Vesuvius is not; and because Vesuvius is a volcano and this is not" Coal Long Neglected Although coal Is not mentioned by the Romans In their accounts of Britain, a larger part which they held for about 300 yeira, it is contended with seeming truth that coal was used by the ancient Britons. In 1234 Henry III granted a license to dig coal near Newcastle-on-Tyne. Sea-coal, common soft coal, was prohibited from being used in and near London, as It was held to be "prejudicial to human health." A !>etition to tills effect was granted in 1306, and even blacksmiths were obliged to use wood-coal or charcoal. Coal was first made an article of commerce from Newcastle to London in 1381, when Richard Il waa or the throne.
