SAND DUNES TO MAKE A PARK

Washington, D. C., October 20.

Stephen T. Mather of Chicago, assistant to the secretary of the interior, will conduct the hearing. Mr. Mather will formulate a report on the question for the next session of the congress. If the report is favorable, Senator Taggart will attempt to have the dunes bought by the government and converted into a national park.
