D—8 RESORTS. MOTORS TRAVERSE ROUTE OF STAGE Black Hills of Dakota Gave Colorful Era to Old West. DEADWOOD, S. Dak., May 15— The Indians termed the region “Paha Bapa—the mountains that are black —and when the white man came into the southwestern corner of Dakota (now South Dakota) in the gold rush | in 1875, he could devise no better name that Black Hills, although one “hill™—Harney Peak—reaches a height of 7242 feet, the highest mountain between the Rockiegand the Atlantic seaboard. Recolent with the spirit of the fron- tier cays (still re-lived in the “days of 76" celebration in Deadwood), the region connotes in its picturesque | names the era when Wild Bill Hickok, Deadwood Dick, Poker Alice and Calamity Jane were creating the his- tory of the hills, following the dis- covery of the great Homestake Mine. A year later Custer and his cavalry- men were annihilated by Sitting Bull, with his Sioux, and Rain-in-the-Face, with his Cheyennes, as Custer sought | to round up the Indians on the Little Big Horn, just west of the Black Hills | Long before a railroad penetrated | the region for two-day bus detours, | the Deadwood stage, pilotted by Dead- wood Dick, was traversing the land Sheriff Hickok was fighting it out | with bandits who attempted to steal its load of “dust.” Over the original stage route, at Newcastle, Wyo., motors now take vacationists, passing Hells Canyon, Lightning Creek, Custer, Mount Cool- idge, Grace Coolidge Canyon, Sylvan Lake Hptel, Palmer Gulch, Horseshoe Lake, Mount Rushmore (where Gut- gon Borglum is carving into the moun- tainside the busts of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore | Roosevelt); then to Rapid City, Gold | Run Gulch, "Lead, Homestake Mine and the Flying V Ranch.

On the north shore is a thrilling panorama of mountains and sea, miles of jagged cliffs and battered sea coast, valleys and long stretches of balsam and pine forest. The southern shore, bordering on the beautiful Baie des Chaleurs, has some of the finest blaches on the continent and landscapes of rare beauty.

It was designed with but one hand, rep- resenting the neck and bill of a goose. It marks the hours, leaving to the onlooker the task of approximating the minutes. FRENCH railroad official visited | the United States and, citing the | three classes of rail travel in his own country, said Western United States roads actually had seven classes. In- | stead, Western accommodations seem | to indicate eight “classes,” as follows: | Drawing room (two berths and a sofa); compartment (upper and low- er); bed room (both double and sin- gle); private section (semi-inclosed with permanent curtains, containing upper and lower berths); open sec- tion (upper and lower berths); tourist sleeper (with both uppers and lowers) ; reclining chair car; day coach. Wisconsin’s 180,000 acres of State forests and parks offer free camping for the first two weeks to all the State's visitors. After that “introduc- tory offer,” a small charge is made, or one may arrange for facilities on a seasonal basis. Uniformed attendants assist the camper in finding a suitable location. While new sanitary facilities and woodland trails have been con- structed, visitors may, if they wish, explore for themselves a virgin wilder- ness of 3,000 acres in Flambeau for- est. It can be reached only by canoe or forest foot trail. Famous Notre Dame, on the banks of the Seine, is to be fitted with stained glass windows. When the Paris Exposition closes in November, win- | dows of the exposition church will be | salvaged and placed in the historic Gothic cathedral. The exposition church is modernistic, but the French, with an eye to the practical, so de- | signed the windows to harmonize with Notre Dame for eventual use there. When in a list of events in Ireland one notes the word “pattern,” it means | a combined religious and social cele. bration in connection with the anni- versary of a local saint. The resort of Beach Haven, N. J will this Summer install a flood light- ing system for night sports in Walsh | Park. AUTHORSHIP of that classical warning, “Stop, Look and Listen,” is credited to a Southern Pacific Rail- road employe, Thomas H. Gray, who fashioned the first in 1884. The road to Freiburg, in the Black Forest of Germany, goes through Hoel- lantal, or the Valley of Hell, and con- tinues to Himmelreich, or the King- dom of Heaven, Electric lights were installed in the Pyramids not only to permit a better inspection of Egypt's famous tourist attraction, but to eliminate smoke from candles carried by thousands of visitors. The smudge was damagin to the carved reliefs and painted ceil: ings. Becoming better known each year, the Tulip Festival of Holland, Mich., ‘where windmills add to the picturesque Dutch atmosphere, opened yesterday. By tradition, the burgomeister, in au- thentic costume, inspected the streets of the town before the festival, found them unfit for the gay occasion, and ordered them scrubbed. Townsfolk, garbed in bright and bulgy dress, turned to with a will, and in short order the town was made ready for a fete lasting nine days. Characteris- tic sports and dances of the Nether- lands are re-enacted against a back- ground of millions of flowering tulips. STEAMSHIPS. | ary and February.

Soviet res- taurants, generally, despite the fact | that they have imported many types of modern cooking equipment and have tried to introduce some American methods, still cling to the system of preparing each meal separately, and it takes time. Russians like to medi- tate and talk over their dinners, and usually they take hours.

TRAVEL. TOLDINGUIDEBOOK New Volume Gives Hints on How Tourists Should Act in Foreign Lands. LONDON, May 15.—Be punctual if you are invited to dinner in London. If you are asked for 8:30, come at 8:30, not at 8:29 or 8:31. For punc- tuality is more than a British habit; it's a vice, according to “1937 in Eu- | rope,” a new guide book edited on the principle that foreign lands contain not only sights, but, more important, people. No matter what your destina- tion, the editors of this volume believe you will enjoy travel more if you know and observe some of the conventions of other lands. If you are a woman alone in Lon- don and hungry for companionship, what's the proper thing to do? Get in touch with “Universal Aunts, Ltd.” this book counsels. “Universal Aunts” will provide chaperons just for com- pany, or for the purpose of introduc- ing visiting American women to a cir- cle of friends, and their services have turned many a prosaic trip into a lively holiday. One of the best ways of avoiding loneliness in Italy, s “1937 in Eu- rope,” Is to forget about any bad luck you may have. Even if you break a mirror, see a black sat and lose your favorite gloves, keep a discreet silence. The Italians have a superstition that bad luck is catching, and that by as- sociating with some one unlucky they will become unlucky, too. There 1s only one certain remedy against this contamination, to touch iron, a key, a pair of scissors or the like, and when you see an Italian reaching for the nearest iron object it is high time to change the topic of conversation. “Thanks” Are Good Taste. Dining abroad, too, has little for- malities that are delightful to observe Of course, no one expects visiting Americans to conform to all the minor points, but it is more fun if you can.

And when you meet your Swedish or Norwegian or Danish friend again, you thank him for the hospitality you received the last time you saw him. Scandinavian lands have other little formalities. In Norway, for instance, a gentleman always walks and sits on the lady’s left. In Denmark men raise their hats to the shop girl on entering a shop, and keep them off while there. In Sweden, should you be the guest of honor at a dinner, you may be ex- pected to say a few words of thanks toward the end of the meal, both for yourself and for your fellow guests. Your Parisian friends may invite you out to restaurants, but don't be hurt, warns “1937 in Europe,” if they do not take you to their homes. The ho. .e is a sacred place to the French and they invite only the closest friends to it.
