" . i ,
Washington.- The perennial discus
sion of need for a bridge to span the
Straits of Mackinac Is on again. Each
year. . increasing numbers of business
men, home builders and vacationists
are lured to Michigan's upper penin
sula and to islands in and near the
straits, thus giving weight to the pro
posals of the bridge advocates.
"Among the favored vacation spots of
northern Michigan which will become ac
cessible to greater numbers of people
by the construction of the bridge will
be Mackinac Island, lying east of the
straits, about three miles from where
the proposed span, would touch the up
iper peninsula," says the National Geo
igraphic society.
Famous for What It Lacks.
i "Inhabitants fit Mackinac have a
strange way of boasting of their island.
Instead of praising its cool; breezy sum
mer climate and other outstanding fea
tures, they tell the world what It lacks
r-hay fever, mosquitoes, automobiles,
'Street cars and railroad trains.
"From the deck of an approaching
jship, a visitor sees white limestone
bluffs that are a foil to the island's
green crown of forest. The huge por
jtlcoed face of the Grand hotel, the
,walls of the old fort and most houses In
the island's only town are spotless
iwhlte. The visitor's first Impression of
order and cleanliness Is augmented on
landing when he hears no honking
, tails, and is attacked by no fames of
gasoline. The old fishing and trading
(Village has expanded Into a modern
resort town with fine shops,- all mod
ern public utilities and splendid hotels
and summer homes. For a tour of the
numerous shrines of history and leg
end, one may hall a carrlage-for-hire.
The enforced slow pace of the vehicle
allows full enjoyment of the rich scenic
resources contained within the island's
skimpy limits two by three miles.
"There are more than 25 miles of
'drives, saddle paths and foot trails
on the Island. They . lead to spots
-whose historic associations or curious
inatSl formation require a visit The
jwave-carved Arch Rock, with Its 50
foot span; thumblike, limestone Sugar
lLoaf; and the Devil's Kitchen, a fa
vorite cave where tourists roast marsh-'
(mallows in a huge fireplace, are a few
of the points of Interest
' J"' Has State Park.
1 "Since the end of French domina
tion, activity on the island has cen
tered about Its Fort Mackinac, which
lies on the hill slope north of the
itown. Above its walla have waved
jboth British and American flags as the
,two nations handled control of the re
gion. Begun In 1780, It was built to
replace Old Mackinaw on the main
land, which was Insecure against at
Itack by Indians and American Revolu
tionary soldiers. In 1895 the fort
jpassed from national to state control
ana it is now lnciuaea in me Mackinac
Island State park. Picturesque stone
'blockhouses have been restored.
' "Fort Holmes, perched on the high
lest point of the Island northeastward
from Fort Mackinac, was erected by
he British during the War of 1812.
Here one ueiignu in a panorama of
Lake Huron with Its tree-covered
Islets, and the distant shores of the
jstraltsr v s
, "Indians of the Chippewa, ' Huron
and Ottawa tribes Inhabited Mackinac
4?at various times. In 1763, at the close
of the French and Indian war,:' con
jtrol of the Mackinac, region passed
jfrom the French to the British, who or
Iganized an important fur trade center
ing about the straits and protected It
with the fort . It was surrendered to
.'the Americans In 1796 and became the
'base of operations' for John Jacob As
.tor's American ;Fur company, when
'Mackinac was the provincial capital
,'of the Northwest territories. ' The old
Astor house still holds early record
ibooks of the Fur company. The Treaty
of Ghent (1814) gave Mackinac per
manently to the United States after a
temporary reoccupation by the British."

' The professor says:
' "Women have brains, just as men,"
The statement came as a counter-
belief of many that . women's actions
are caused by Intuition or any other
special sense. '. -
' There is no difference between the
sexes In this respect" Doctor Atkinson
tT said, and regarding other beliefs: .
i "Genius and Insanity are not Akin to
