No Tourists Hotels
Tourist facilities within the boun
daries of the Great Smoky Moun
tains National Park in North Caro
lina and Tennessee will be limited
to automobile camp grounds and
picnic areas, under a policy ap
proved by Secretary of the Interior
Ickes.
Because of its elongated shape and
its location, plus its limited road
mileage, a visitor can adequate see
that part of the park accessible by
road without the necessity of stop
ping overnight within its boundaries.
Thus the National Park Service is
given an unusual opportunity to de
velop a large wilderness park with
out the intrusion of the customary
tourist facilities.
Hotels, lodges and cabins located
at points near the park boundaries
in both North Carolina and Ten
nessee now afford accommodations,

Just why this should be it is hard

the makers of travel posters or com

Sponge Flowers Hold
Perfume for Months
MIAMI, Fla., July 6.—Flowers
made from sponge which absorb and
retain the fragrance of milady’s per
fume for months are the odd cre
ations of Eloise ana Della Child at
Miami, Fla.
Heretofore merely a bathtub or
auto-washing accessory, the low
ly “Thylum Porifera” through
the deft, creative touch of these
girls have been transformed into
glorified, flower-petaled dress pins,
lapel and hat ornaments, bobby pins,
hair novelties, bracelets, anklets and
even decorative bathing attire.
The Child sisters have graduated
from one sponge to thousands and
from a workshop at home to a plant
travel!
and skilled employes to whom they
have taught their art.
It takes a worker 20 minutes to
turn out a sponge flower. The
petals must be cut, assembled, wired
and trimmed. Red, baby blue and
pink are the most popular colors.
Size ranges from 3 Inches to % of
an inch across. The wearer may
apply her favorite perfume and the
fragrance will linger for months.
Use of American toiletries is in
