THE SUNDAY ASHINGTON, D, C, JANUARY 3, * TRAILCLUB MARKS 145-MILE ROUTE Path Through Blue Ridge Leads From Harpers Ferry to Shenandoah Park. A 145-mile footpath along the crest | of the Blue Ridge now has been de-| veloped for those who seek escape from the noise and gas fumes of the city in the cloud-washed silences of the Vir- ginia hills. A guide book of this trail from Ha pers Ferry approximately to the south ern end of the Shenandoah Natonal | Park area has just been prepared by| palachian Trail Club 1 part of the 'Hetty Green’s Son Basks in New Style Car With Glass Top Machine, Driven by Elec- tric Plant, Shipped to Miami for Winter. | By the Associated Press BOSTON, January 2.—If some onc ard Howland Robinson Green the make of his new automobile he will probably say ft is a Rommelanger. | That' must be its name, because Nich- olas Rommelfanger of Boston built it and there is no other car like it.

The section extends from Harpers Fei Bluemont, approximately 18 miles, fol- Jowing stretches of old wood roads through thin forests of dead chestnuts. Fine views are afforded of the Shenan- doah Valley, like a checkerboard of pas- ture and wheat field, far below. Below the mountains the Shenandoah River winds like a green ribbon. Fine View from Paris. The second section of the trail starts | at Bluemont and continues slightl than 11 miles to Ashby Gap at Pa Va. running through ~sumac v old orchards and a few and following paths and The next section is 12 miles long and runs to Manassas Gap, historic cross- ing place of armies. Just above the lit- tle town of Paris is a high peak with one of the finest views in all directions afforded by the entire trail. Eastward the prospect stretches over the fertile Piedmont Valley, with the Bull Run Mountains in the distance, southwest to the blue-veiled Massanuttens, and west- ward over the Shenandoah Valley to the distant Alleghanies which stand out on s clear day. The next extent of trall is only 5 miles long, following a dirt road down- ward to Chester Gap, horthern en- trance to the Shenandoah Park area. From here on the hiker is out of the area of scattered hill farms and largely of human habitation. The next section of the trail extends for nearly 25 miles | through some of the finest scenery of the entire route. There are two moun- tains to climb—Mount Marshall, eleva- tion, 3,368 feet, where the Blue Ridge changes from & north-south to an &p- proximate east-west direction, and the Hogback, elevation, 3,474 feet, where the general morth-south trend is re- sumed. Through this high area of lo- custs and dead chestnuts the trail often is very faint. The section ends at Thornton Gap, above Luray. Picturesque Region. The next section of 13 miles goes through one of the most picturesque regions of the mountains, mostly over slopes covered with dead chestnut trees and through hollows inhabited by a primitive people. The trail, often faint but well marked with markers and stone cairns, goes past some high mountains, among them Stony Man and Old Rag. ‘The next section is about 18 miles long, 1 largely the skyline drive of the S8henandoah National Park, which , now is under construction and extend- to Swift Run Gap near Standards- ville, Va. The section concludes at the Bpotswood Monument, which marks the probable ‘spot where Alexander Bpotswood, British lieutenant governor of the Virginia colony, and his bands of “Knights of the Golden Horseshoe” first looked on the Shenandoah Valley. ‘The next section, nearly 40 miles long, extends southward to Rockfish Gap and the entrance to the Natural Bridge National Forest. At this point the trail, as Jaid out by the Washington Club, comes to an end. By following Forest Service trails and community roads, however, the hiker can go along the mountain ridges through the na- tional forest for approximately 90 miles to the Peaks of Otter at Mons, Va. From here there are some of the finest panoramic views in Virginia. Danger From Snake Bites. Prom the Peaks of Otter the hiker gets on another trail blazed by the Southern Virginia Appalachian Trail Association, extending for nearly 200 miles to the North Carolina line. It is well marked with wooden markers and stone caimns. Numerous side trails to mountain peaks, wild ravines and tiny hill settle- ments are outlined in the guide book.

FEARS NEW UNREST IN TEXTILE MILLS Sloan Blames Few Owners Who Refuse to Stop Labor Evils. | ; | Apprehension that the constructive | co-operation now prevailing in the | textile Industry may shertly be brought to an end if a few miles continue to |carry out uneconomic and unsoctal | policies, was expressed yesterday by | George A. Sloan, president of the Col<l | ton-Textile Institute, in a letter to, Walter S. Gifford, director of the President’s Organization on Unemploy- ment Relief. | Recommendations Ignored. 1 Mr. Sloan informed the national re- | lief official these mills have ignored | recommendations to shorten the work week and eliminate night work for women and minors. The short work | week has been widely adopted, he de- clared, while 84 per cent of the in- dustry is not employing women and minors on shifts. | “You can well appreciate the feeling that such action arouses in some mili | centers where the workers have meager | employment or no work at all,” he as- | serted! “Moreover,” he added, “this practice of excessive operation is leading to un- I rest and discouragement on the part of the more enlightened mill executives. who have been striving to promote the | industry’s welfare, to stabilize em- | ployment, and thus to minimize dis- | tress, Scores Policy of Few. “1f a few mills persist in practicing | uneconomic and unsocial policies (there- | by preventing the much desired spread of employment) this type of destruc- tive leadership undoubtedly will be fol- |lowed by others with the inevitable recurrence of the peaks of overproduc- |tion and the valleys of unemplcyment | that have made cotton textile condi- tions in this respect so difficult in years gone by.” The Public Utilities Committee of the Edinburgh, Scotland, City Council has barred press representatives from all meetings, and the public is displeased BLOWERS USED, WITH MINNE- NO BETTER EQUIPMENT MADE.

LOSHING through agonies whose only purpose is to give contrast to the monotony of normal life on a sea island, hy Mackaill bzcomes part urely theatric perform- ance in “Safe in Hell” at the Earle Theater. It might be de- scribed as real- ism, if it were possible for such a plot to be made real. It is certainly tragedy, for it represents its outstanding feminine char- acter asmarch- ing straight to legal execution in a lawless community, but the background lacks the in- spiration of a cause. It would represent a high mark in the experience of the star, if the woman she pictures were free from the taint of the life she seeks to avert, while bringing disaster to herself and a husband who has for- gotten her mistakes. The play is essentially & structure set up for the display of an assortment of per- sonalities, most of whom are out- casts, and to exploit an actress who Dorothy Mackaill. ¢ introduced cinema s If there were a demand for it, probably the screen would have more films of that sort. In the current example, the observer might inquire why flc- tion should not provide its proper reward for & heroic struggle, espe- cially as the penalty is inflicted on two persons. For those whose chief interest is in the many-sided char- acter that Miss Mackaill is able to create there is much satisfaction in observing that she offers in the story of “Safe in Hell” a woman of vigor, versatility, resourcefulness and mas- into the Front Row Washington's Theaters. terful. control under disturbing con= ditions. ‘The scenes are produced on an isiand in the Caribbean. A woman, who, in New Orleans, has repelled the advances of a former admirer with a violent gesture, is accused of the man's murder. Her lover, though shocked at her story of re- Jations with the other man, offers to smuggle her on the ship of which he has become an officer and to Jand her on the island to escape extradition, The two ware there married. She is the only white woman among the residents, while the men about her are all criminals like herself, seeking escape from punishment. The man she is sup- posed to have slain apears there in the life, makes further advances. This time she inflicts death. She is about to be acquitted when the law officer of the island threatens a minor charge which would place her in his custody. She asks conviction and execution as a means of escape from this life. During the trial her husband lands from his ship, she promises to meet him in New Or- leans, and sends him away without knowiedgsof the fate that awaits er. Adequate support is given by Don Cook, Ralf Harolde, Morgan Wal- lace and a dozen other actors. They contribute the unusual collection of eccentrics who make up the back- ground. The stage performance at the Earle is headed by Belle Baker, singer and story teller, of stage, screen and radio, and to the extent that the program permits, she pre- sents a good assortment of her va- rious forms of entertainment.
