With the hardening OF the crust the
centers of eruptions became fewer
until they were confined to a few high
mountains that were built up by the
flows of molten lava. In this way
We're created Hood. Rainier, and Ma.
zama, from whose sides and lofty sum-
mits streams of lava poured across
"a desolate land Hood and Rainier
still lift their snowy caps to the
clouds and fling a defiant challenge to
the mountaineer to scale their steep,
ice-covered slopes. Mazama alone is
gone, engulfed in the earth from
which it came. In what is left of its
caldera lies Crater Lake.
Mount Mazama in its prime rose to
height of over $4,000 feet above the
sea. Mount Scott, which towers above
Crater Lake on the east, was only a
minor cone on the slope of Mount Ma
zama. The portion OF the mountain
that has been destroyed was equal in
size to Mount Washington in New
Hampshire and had a volume of II
cubic miles.
From the crest of the rim surround
ing the lake the traveller beholds 20
miles of unbroken cliffs which range
from 500 to nearly 1000 feet in height
The clear waters of the lake reflect
the vivid colors of the surrounding
walls and whether in the soft glow of
early morning, in the glare of the
MONDAY sun, or in the rosy hues Of
the dying day, the view is one of awe
inspiring grandeur and beauty

Few Of us ever ask ourselves where
In the eternity of Rome consists Il
does not consist in a physical eternity.
for Rome was not without beginning
and she shall surely not be without
end. 1t is rather a philosophical eter-
nifty. 1t is eternity as Kant has
taught it to us. the eternity Of time
lessness. 1t Is the timelessness Of
Rome, rather than the actual extent
Of time which makes the eternal, and
his timelessness shows itself in moth
Ing more clearly than in Rome's eter-
raj youth. She who today might well
be an old lady with her three thou

A Volcano That Became Lake.

a Volcano That Became Lake.
Unique among the natural wonders
of America is the lake in Crater Lake
National Park in Oregon, which is de-
scribed in publication entitled Geo
logical History of Crater Lake" just
issued by the Department of the In
terror. The traveller who, from the
rocky rim of the lake, looks across
it's limpid waters to the cliffs beyond
stands where once the molten lava
of Mount Mazama boiled and seethed
in it's efforts to find an outlet, for
Crater Lake is all that remains of a
great volcano that ages ago reared
it's lofty summit high above the crest
of the Cascade Range.
Before the Cascade Range existed
the region now included in the State
of Oregon was great lava plateau
that extended from the Rocky Noun
tains to the present Coast Range,
Gradually mountain-making forces be-
came operative; the surface of the
plateau was arched and there rose
the great mountain system which is
now known as the Cascade Range.

hundred girls, when attempts were
made to -estore order, took refuge in
the dormitories and corridors, smash

on. The police were sent for, and
when they arrived the girls took off
their sabots and used them as wea.

summoned, and It was only after
thirty-five of the girls had been ar

HUGHES ENDORSED
Anti.Nilson Democrats Defeated In
New Jersey.

Incomplete returns from the primary
elections held in New Jersey indicate
clearly that former Representative
william Hughes, of Paterson. has re.
ceived the endorsement OF large ma.
jority OF the Democratic voters for
the United States senate.
With few exceptions the returns
seemed to justify the conclusion that
Hughes carried the various counties
by from two to three times the vote
cast for former United States Senator
James Smith. Jr.. his principal an.
tagonist. Hughes was running as the
picked candidate OF Governor Wilson,
and Smith was allied with the anti.
Wilson forces throughout the state.
The Republican preferential vote
was cast almost unanimously for
United States Senator Frank o.
Briggs. the only member OF his party
to file a petition.
