West No Place fer consumptives.


Physicians in all of the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis to stop send
ing consumptives in the last stages of
tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States In search of health.
While it is impossible to tell accu.
rately how many consumptives there
are at present living in the states of
Colorado, New Mexico. Arizona, south
ern California, and western Texas, 1t
is probable that no less than ten per
cent Of the 100000 people In this
territory have tuberculosis themselves,
or have come to the west because
some members of their family have
had 1t. Every year, the health authori-
ties estimate, not less than 10000
consumptives, hopelessly diseased,
come west to die. For these cases.
the climate of this sectiea of tse eoun-
try can do nothing, and they are COM
PEELED to die in strange surroundings
and thousands of miles from home
and friends. The National Associa-
ton points out further that from so
to 60 per cent. of these advanced
cases are too poor to provide the
proper necessaries of life. and they
are either starved to death. or com
PEELED to accept the meager charity
which this part of the country af.
fords.

MEANING OF AT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that when.
ever prominent person dies, espe-
cially If he is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex-
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of great man?
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to have the flag
Of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanquish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten lit hauled it's flag down
far enough for the flag of the victors
TO be placed above 1t on the same
pole This was a token not only of
submission, but of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
Of universal respect. The space left
above 1t is for the flag of the great
conqueror of all-the angel of death.

every conceivable shade of green,
from olive drab to the most brilliant
emerald. This ledge and its imme-
date vicinity are the repository of
prehistoric relics Of unusual character
and in the greatest profusion; the in
cissors of mammoth animals, probably
extinct fish and reptiles, embedded in
tia rock, reward the most Indifferent
sea-@h, and arrow and spear heads of
the greatest variety and perfection,
stone hatchets and fragments Of NOR
tars and pestles are scattered from the
brow of the Aill above the ledge to the
creek below. 1t is the local belief,
and appears highly probable, that
about this ledge the aborigines main
tanned a village of considerable size,
the creek furnishing fish, water sup
ply and an easy highway, while the
protecting ledge and grottos were an
Acropolis Of refuge In time OF stress
from either the elements or hostile
neighbors. The unusual number of
arrow and spear heads scattered about,
with occasional fragments of stone
hatchets, leads to the further romantic
speculation that this locality was at
some remote time the scene Of a great
and probably exterminating battle.
Natural "Rock House."
Another very interesting natural for
nation which we visited on our way
down stream was the Rock House.
About three miles below the grottoed
ledge and on the opposite side of the
creek in the midst Of q deep and
heavily timbered hummock, the back
lying hills project a huge rock frontal
through the intervening fats and into
the bed Of the creek. Into the face of
this promontory q assure Is cleft, as
symmetrical as the handiwork Of man
and with its peak overhead and its ia
pering buttresses to right and left
strongly resembling the portal of a
Gothic cathedral Leading into this
rocky doorway, which opens imme-
diately upon the waters of the creek,
is an ample and easily navigated
channel. which, upon reaching the
cavern within, widens into a CLASSY,
elongated basin. The top Of the fis-
sure at the entrance is eight or ten
feet above the level of the creek and
its width Is six or eight feet, the di-
mansions being considerably increased
within the cavern.
We padded in and found the water
increased in depth but perfectly clear
and the light sufficient for US to see
distinctly everything about us. The
interior decoration Of the chamber Is
wonderful and exquisite; in the vault

heavy festoons Of Spanish moss crown

little distance in the mellowed light
of late afternoon they stand like a
forest Of slender grey pillars support
ing a long, dusl1y cloud that seems
almost to float in the air and shows
faint violet tints in the rudy sunset
glow.
Camping Out.
We chose for our nights camp an
easy hillside, carpeted deep with pine
straw, where a thick grove Of second
growth pine came down almost to our
landing place. Here we unloaded our
cargo, save guns and ammunition, and
padded rapidly down stream as far
as Lawrence's mill pond At the head
Of the pond we had our first duck
shooting and bagged four teal Al
though the shooting here held good
promise, we abandoned II early and
started back upstream in the hope OF
making a comfortable camp before
nig1tfalL We had covered about half
the distance to camp when We noticed
doves in great numbers dropping into
the creek for water and. although dusk
was upon us, the temptation to tarry
was too strong. We had about ten
minutes shooting, as lively as I have
ever seen in a baited field and, when
II was over, picked up twenty eight
birds and resumed our way upstream
Drcves of Turkey.
As we neared camp-our camping
place was not more than two hundred
yards away at the time-our attention
was attracted by great commotion

and blankets. 'Pardners' voice, high
pitched with excitement, brought me
up with a start: Shoot that turkey"
The next moment a big bird figure
1t looked as big as & cow-happed its
way out Of the dark background Of the
trees into bold relief against the sky.
I fired almost point blank At the
crack OF the gun the long neck flew
backward, the big bird crumbled up
and fell into the creek ahead with
resounding splash. A moment later
we landed her, a splendid, big turkey
hen, stone dead. I think two school
boys could not have been more pleased
than we were. Our good luck set
'Pardner to notwithstanding and far
into the night, as we lay feet to the
fire, wrapped close in our blankets and
buTowed deep in our fragrant bed Of
pine straw, we watched the sparks
mount into the branches overhead and
the high, bright stars in a glorious
winter sky, while Partner" told me Of
earlier days on the creek and the Chat

open woods in herds, OF old time flights
Of duck that settled upon the water,
not by hundreds nor thousands, but
by acres and Of long-bearded gobblers,

a thud that shook the underbrush.
It was quite dark when we awoke,
but our fire was burned down to

wide fireplace high with oak logs and
when the swapping, yellow sap flame
had burned itself out. leaving a glow
ing terrace wrapped in soft tongues of
opal and violet, we rolled in our
blankets and knew nothing more until
the barking of the dogs at the door
announced morning. After a nasty
breakfast, took a short hunt with
the dogs while "Pardner" f1shed, and
about the middle of the morning we
packed bedding. cooking utensils, guns
and ammunition in the boat and set
out for the lower reaches of the creek.

Before we could reach our blind the
sharp whisper of swift wings came
family to us out of the early morning
dusk, a struggling teal, calling for his
mates, went by like a shadow, not
twenty feet away and, straining our
eyes into the half light Of midstrean,
we saw a long line of mallards wing
their way swiftly into the grey dark
ness ahead
MalIard Ducks Plentiful.
We had made our plans to paddle
straight to the blind and there lie quiet
until we could get our first shot on
the water; the doctrine of the bird

the uncertainty Of a good shot on the
water, and "Pardner's' suggestion:
Let's start shooting" was the begin
ming and the end of the argument
We had not long to wait We heard
the hoarse call Of mallards in fight
and the silken music of their wings
on the crisp morning air, then they
came in long irregular line, almost
directly overhead and with the speed
of rockets. Partner" killed with his

and precision that an hour or two
each day in the field was sufficient to
provide US with as much fresh meat

us to the necessity of pressing it upon
everyone who visited US to prevent its
