BRIDGE OPENS < VAST DOMAIN IN SOUTHWEST' Colorful Ceremonies Planned For Dedication Os (■rand Canyon Span Flagstaff. Ariz... June 5 — (VP) — 1 Passing of another of the "lost fron- ' tiers” will be celebrated with contrasting ceremonies of the Old West and the new when the Grand Canyon highway bridge near historic Lee's perry, 135 miles north of here. I« dedicated officially to the American tourist on June 14 and 15. i Reputed to be the highest vehicu- | lar bridge in the world, and provld- ( ing the first permanent crossing over ' the great gorge of the Colorado River 1 which cuts across Southeastern Utah and northwestern Arizona for 600 miles, the bridge opens a new tourist route between the two states and makes accessible to motordom new scenic areas which have been visited hy only a few of the hundreds of thousands of transcontinental tourists who stream across the southwest each year. Its dedication will be presided over hy four governors—J. C. Philips of Arizona, George H. Dem of Utah, R. C. Dillon of New Mexico and F. C. Baltzer of Nevada —and will attract thousands of motorists to the isolated Indian country of vivid natural coloring ami fantastic rock formations on the Arizona-Utah borderlaird. Indian Sports and Dances Giant airplanes will soar over the painted deserts and vermillion cliffs conquered by the covered wagon only half a century ago, and deep chasms lighted only by the moon for unknown centuries, will be illuminated like Broadway. Navajo and Hopi Indian sports and dances will vie for popularity with military flag day ceremonies! and descendants of the hardy Mormon settlers who first traveled through that land will re-live their hardships in a pageant of frontier days. But though the natural barriers of the Old West have been conquered once again, the remote wilderness will still hold sway, for accommodations are few and far between and everyone will have to camp. The Grand Canyon, painted desert, kaibab national forest, petrified forest Zion National park and Bryce Canyon in Utah are some of the outstanding scenic wonders at last directly connected by all-year highway over the new bridge. , The structure is already open to traffic, spanning Marble Gorge 467 feet above the river. o Says Bad Name Was Given Indiana Coal During War; Better Now Indianapolis, June s—(UP)—lt was the hurried production of war days that gave Indiana coal a bad name which is entirely undeserved now R. 11. Sherwood, president of the Central Indiana Coal company, told members of the scientech club here. He pointed out that the rush deliveries required during the war left the coal without slate and other impurities being removed as is done in normal times. o Purdue Gets SIOO,OOO Gift From Chicago Firm Lafayette, Ind., June 5—(UP)— A SIOO,OOO gift to Purdue University from the Grigsby-Grunow company, of (hicago, to be used over a five year Period in financing important engineering research work, has been announced here. • In accordance with the contract a minimum of $20,000 a year for five .-ears will be paid the University but 11 is expected that this allowance will be considerably increased as the development of the work warrants. o Couldn’t Bluff Teacher "Now, my dear,” said a Howard mother when her second-primary daughter brought home her grade card as the Courant tells it, “I am certainly not pleased with this record.” Daughter replied, “Well, I told the teacher you wouldn’t like It, hut she wouldn’t change It.” —Capper’s Weekly. o Eat the Catalpa Trees To be enten alive Is the fate ot biony of our catalpa trees.

of conflicting convictions and theor-| les that would make an international conference on prohibition seem morij tame than a declaration of war. Children call their parents by theiL first names here. Men and women discuss anything from mixed bathing to] birth-control within live minutes after i they have been "introduced" for the fit st time. Generally speaking the love of freedom is such that social etiquette has been reduced to an extent that would horrify the average society woman and make the boys of SB9 chuckle with delight. “This is George" simply says a visitor sponsor in introducing the stranger t oa colonist, and as soon as George has gripped the newcomer by the hand: "My ‘partner,’ Nellie," lie adds as unconventionally as a cowboy would introduce his sister to his brother’s best girl. Then, almost before you know what to say to the hospitable “partners” whose guest you have so suddenly become, you find yourself seated in the cosiest corner ot the whole world. It was in this simple fashion that the United Press correspondent was introduced to “Sylvia," better known to the general public as Sylvia Pankhurst, of suffragette and hungerstrike fame, who just happened to visit the colony at the time of the writer’s call. Essentially Feminine But it was not the popular conception of the male-looking horn-rimmed spectacled militant that “Sylvia" corresponded to. On the contrary, the famous feminist is essentially feminine in looks and despite occasionally fiery outbursts against what she called “the injustice" of certain laws, she speaks in very womanlike fashion. She has striking blue eyes. Her hair is bobbed. She has, at times, away of throwing her head and ne|k back which would undoubtedly provoke any poi trait painter into demanding an immediate setting. With a few colonists she conducted the United Press correspondent through the settlement. They described the origins and the present organization of the settlement which, they explained, was originally founded by a group of about 20 followers of the great Tolstoy. These they, said lived together in a small stone dwelling known as "Whiteway House." Then they—at least some of them —proceeded to build other dwellings and to cultivate the hind upon which they had planned to live. Everything was all light until some became more communistic than the Communists themselves and claimed what they called then “right" to share in the food, but refused to work for it. One way or another, it appears the Tolstoyan stuck it out from. 1899 when the colony was founded, until three yeas later when it was decided that each colonist should have his own plot of land and be responsible for his own maintenance. Several of the original settlers, it was further explained remained, but from then on things changed. The land—from 40 tb 50 acres—and a small working capital which was originally donated by a young journalist and others, was dedicated to free “use possession" immediately after the title deeds upon which three of the colonists had been named as owners, had been burned. Colony's Social Life To the settlers themselves was left the choice of newcomers. From time to time this and other questions of administration are decided at a general colony meeting. Noel, one of the party which guided the correspondent, explained a fewthings about the social life of the colony: "Some of us here are legally married”, he explained, adding: "Others aren't.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Whiteway Colony, near Stroud, England, is one of the most ’ novel and unconventional settlements in modern-day society. Henry T. Russell, United Press Staff Correspondent, visited the colbny for a “feature story" and while there encountered Sylvia Pankhurst,, noted feminist and mother of a “eugenic baby." The latter term, incidentally, is one Miss Pankhurst deplores. Russell has written a series of three articles concerning his visit and the interview. The fqllowing is the first of the series. creeds and opinions. “Paradoxical as It may sound," he continued, "we have unmarriedcouples who have lived together for as long as 30 years and whose children are legally married. We have, on the other hand, quite the reverse. There are among the oldest settlers, couples who have been legally married for years. But their children, strange to say, have united to partners iu free love.” Surprising- -as it may sound, the fact that Christian names only are used on the colony causes little if any trouble at all because few of the settlers seem to have the same names. One is Nellis Shaw, one of the veteran settlers of the colony. To distinguish between her and a younger settler who is her namesake, the young one is referred to as plain “Nellie.” The veteran Nellie is distinguished in conveistaion as “Nellie Shaw.” Thus is confusion avoided. Nine Nationalities There arr* nine different nationalities on the colony including a one time

Miss Pankhurst. explained that so much sympathy and kindness had been shown to her when, four years ago, her. cousin and namesake died (she was a settler on the colony), that she had determined to come back and visit the colony later. She explained that she did not find it strange to be called by her Christian ’ name because it is “a general custom Intended to introduce a spirit of friendliness in the colony” and also because she and her sisters were ' known as "Christabel, Sylvia and Ade--1 la"- in the suffragette movement. - - -o r > CONGRESS TODAY > —(U.R)— Senate: .

FOUR WOMEN I BRAVE NORTH By Richard G.

And aboard the Patterson, besides the regular ctew, are four hrave women who face six months of adventure in remote and out-of-the-way places In the Arctic circle. The women are the helpmates of the officers of the sturdy little schooner. The four women are not altogether of passenger rating. There is plenty
