Project Is Made Reality in Brief Period. Within four years, & very brief period considering the magnificence of the vision, the Great Smoky Mountain project has been transiated from a | theoretical conception to an accomplish- ment. The first physical transfer of | land to the Federal Government has | been made and gorgeous nature along | the Tennessee-North Carolina border | has taken on the aspects of what is to | be one of three great national pla; grounds in the East. The first concrete step toward con- summation of a project Authorized by Congress in 1926—establishment of the Great Bmoky Mountains, National Park —was taken on February 7, when the Governors of ‘Tennessee and North Carolina called at the Interior Depart- ment and on behalf of the people of their States conveyed to Secretary Wilbur title to 150,000 acres of land. L Acres Made Available. An area as big as Rhode Island, | 704,000 acres, is available for park | purposes in the Great Smoky Mountain | district and under the law complete title must be vested in the Govern- ment. Half of the rémaining land available, or 277,000 acres, must yet be acquired by the States and presénted to the Government before it will con- sider the park area adequate and pro- cced with its actual development. | Money is available for purchase of the | land, however, and progress has been so | marked recently, as evidenced by the response that resulted in presentation of the first tract, that the States expect to acquire the necessary lands within ‘another two years. A fund of about $10,000,000 has been made avavilable, hall furnished by the States of Ten- | nessee and North Carolina, and an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 con- tributed by the Laura Speliman Rocke- | feller Memorial. The 150,000 acres turned over to the | QGovernment will be administered by the National Park Service until such time as the minimum acreage set up by the act of Congress is acquired, and then will proceed to develop it on a basis comparable to that used at Yel- lowstone, Yosemite, and other of the great national parks in the West. Gov. Max O. Gardner of North Caro- lina and Gov. Henry H. Horton of ‘Tennessee, with other officers of thelr State governments, including members of their park commissions, attended the meeting at the Interior Department at which title to the lands passed to the Federal Government. Actual acquiti- tions and options on more than half the required 427,000 acres have been arranged for, and with the purchase money provided, the chief problem is care that deeds are secure and title guaranteed. Area Is Wilderness Tract. ‘The Great Smoky Mountain section extending 50 miles along the border of the two States is the greatest wilderness area east of the Mississippi, “the roof- top of Eastern America.” It is esti- mated that half the population of the country lives within miles of the Without names and less known than the mountains of India or Tibet, seven peaks in the Great Smokies rise to altitudes of more than 6,000 feet. Eleven others are as high, and from the summit of Le Conte the climber looks out upon seven States. The people of the two States have responded enthusiastically to the pro- posal, now being turned to an accom- plishment, that the area along the bor- der be converted into a playground for the East comparable to the famous parks like Yellowstone. In the acqui= sition of such large areas for national park purposes no laws or- precedents were available to the States, but ade- quate laws were sions were quick to stoj Great Smoky Mountain Park | THE SUNDAY Morristown TENN.

OFFER 1930—PART ONE, HOUSTON CROWDS - GREET COOLIDGE }With Mrs. Coolidge He Gets Floral Gifts and Texans’ Best Wishes, By the Associated Press HOUSTON, Tex., February 15.—Leav- ing a trail of autographed albums across East Texas, former President | calvin Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge, pay- ing & “duty call” to the South and West, were on their way to El Paso tonight, loaded with flowers and the best wishes of cities along their route. | Mr. Coolidge was dressed at 5:30 o'clock this morning, ready to shake the hands of two little girls who waited on the depot platform at Lake Charles, La. The former President has expected | | to ‘greet his uncle, F. H. Moor, & rice ! planter of Welch, La., 22 miles east of Lake Charles. Moor, however, believing the hour was too early, had taken a seat in the chair car. He was located and brought to the Coolidge drawing room by & brakeman. Moor chatted with the Coolidges until the train ar- rived at Houston, Mr. Coolidge said he planned to! greet those who might come to the | station to mbet him, but that he would make no speeches or stop-overs be- tween here and Los Angeles, his desti- nation. Of all the public officlals and digni- taries who thronged the former Presi- dent’s car here, only one, the youthful mayor of a grammar school student government organization, su th! his formal welcome across. As r, lidge was autographing cards and shaking hande, Carroll Ohurch, the juvenile school mayor, fought his way to the front and obtained a fa- vorable opening. 'Mr. Coolidge,” he blurted out breath- lessly, “I welcome you in behalf of the students of the Eastwood School.” | The former President smiled and | thanked the boy, INVITED TO SERVICES. | Mecca Temple Members to Attend St. Paul's Tonight.

People who are in poor health should not deny them- | selves this great medicine. Before I | used it I suffered a great deal with | eatarrh, was continually spitting up | mucus, always had a bad taste in my | mouth, stomach was out of order, appetite was bad and food I ate did not agree with me; my liver was out | of order, often had brown spots on different parts of my body and was 80 badly constipated that for three and four days at a time even the || strongest laxative would not help me at all. I used every medicine 1 he of. but nothing I used help- | ed me like this Herb Extract.| 3 ugh its natural and mild ac- on the bowels, liver and kid- meys, this medicine cleansed my m of the body poisons and has| e me feel like a different per- son. Food I eat now wi me, I no longer have those sick di2- spells, that disagreeable taste that had each morning no longer troubles me and I find that I am not_troubled with catarrh as much a8 I was before I began using Mil- Jer's Herb Extract. As I told & friend a few days ago, 1 am satis~ fied with this new treatment and feel safe in recommending it to my friends.

A represent- ative for this medicine is now at | the Peoples Drug Store, 505 7th St. | | N.W., also Peoples Service Drug| Store, 727 King St, Alexandria, Va, to explain this medicine to the HAWES DEMANDS FILIPINO FREEDOM and Promise Are Involved. By the Associated Press, Independence for the Philippine Islands was demanded yesterday by Sen- ator Hawes, Democrat, of Missouri, on the ground of “national promise and natiodal honor.” In 2 radio address, Hawes, a member of the Senate territories committee, Which has been holding hearings on Philippine freedom, said every witness before the committee had stated that independence had been promised and that it must be granted, either imme- diately or within a 5-year, 10-year or 30-year period ‘No witness has advocated continuous possession by the United States,” Hawes {sald. “The subject, therefore, seems to resolve itself into & question of time, method and agreement.” | 'Hawes asserted he had arrived at only one fixed conclusion as & Tesult of the hearings—that “national promise and national honor call for the ultimate independence of the Philippine Islands.” Explaining that 80 per cent of the imports of the Philippines into the United States consist of farm ucts and that only 10 per cent of the agri- cultural land is now under cultivat he said the American farmer must con- MEETING WILL TAKE UP | COMMUNICATIONS BILLS | ‘Wireless Telegraph Group and Bar Association Committee to | Convene Thursday.
