GRANDEUR IN GLACIERS.
The AIpine-tike Scenery In Mount Raj
nier National Park.

. otN
Mount Rainier National park is sit
uated in western Washington, about
tifty-siX miles southeast of the city Of
Tacoma. 1t has an area of POT 800
acres and comprises Mount Rainier
and all its approaches. including one
of the largest glacier systems in the
world radiating from any single peak.
Surrounding the mountain are beau
tiful forests of fir and cedar, and in the
natural parks below the snow line are
luXuriHnt fields of wild flowers of all
colors and descriptions. The lower al
titudcs of the park are denscly tim
bered with fir. cedar, hemlock. maple,
alder. cottonwood and spruce. The
foreSted areaS. extending to an alti-
tude of about $500 feet. gradually de-
crease in density of growth after an
altitude of 1000 feet is reached. and
the high. broad plnteaus between the
glacial canyons present Incompatible
scenes of diversified beauties. seeming
ly arranged to suit every taste.
These parks" as they are called, are
studded here and there with lakes and
streams bordered with clumps of pic
tureSque Alpine frs and gorgeous beds
of wild flowers. and in numerous in
stances apparently tender blossoms will
be found pushing their heads out from
under the snow.
The general elevation of the glacial
valleys at the boundary lines Of the
park is about 1000 feet above sea Level.
These valleys afford Il comparatively
easy grade to the lower ends, or
%''snouts," of the various glaciers. APP
proximately an average additional ele-
walton Of 1000 feet. At these glacier
SHOUTS the real Alpine nature of Mount
Rainier National park territory is
thrust upon the traveller, and from.
over, around and alongside the glaciers
trails have been constructed with a
view to making the wonders of nature
within the park easily accessible as
well as to provide patrol routes for the
protection Of the forests and game.

An Excellent Reason,

One of the stories about the late Sir
Douglas Straight, the veteran journal
ist, relates to one of the early papers
he was connected with.
He was crossing Waterloo bridge one
day with a friend when he suddenly
marched up to a couple of newsboys
and soundly boxed their ears.
His friend, amazed at this proceed.
ing. naturally asked him what he
meant by it. 'They were selling your
paper he pointed out.
Eyes. l know they were,'' was the
reply, "but they weren't shouting it
loud enough!'-London Globe.

MONTENEGRO AN ODD LAND.

U|sIO u
Montenegro is one Of the oldest
countries in the world. There the
women are the producers, clothes make
the man. the king is greater than the
ministry, the chamber or the constitu-
ton, and a man may be imprisoned
for eating hedgehog. A man who is
struck may kill the striker provided
it be done at once. If he delays he is
punished as a murderer.
A Montenegrin's habit is as costly
as his purse can buy, and there the ap-
parel. proclaims the man. The baggy
blue trousers are the same for the king
or the peasant. as is the bright sash
which holds the i%nvariable revolver.
But from the red jacket and the red
ingote one connotes whether the wear
er be a man of substance and conse-
quence or not. Among the women
there are slightcr distinctions.
The women engage in the produc-
tive pursuits, and yet the man has

ers. His 500 years of freedom have
given the Montenegrin a fine ems of
order. and it is a current saying along
the Dalmatian coast that when a Mon
tenegrin applying for a job is asked
what he can do he invariably answers,
"Superintend.'

Weddinu Presents.

Wedding presents originated in a
feudal tribute from the vassals to their
lord. When feudalism ceased the pres
ents became voluntary. In the days of
Queen Elizabeth a pair of knives or
scissors was a common gift and SYM
bolized the cutting Of unfaithful love.

RISE IN FOOD PRICES
Ordered Probed by President In Let
ter to Attorney General.


Washington.-Presid Wilson per
sonally, by letter, called the attention
Of the attorney general to the general
and apparently abnormal initiation OF
food prices and asked the Department
of Justice to conduct an investigation
to ascertain corrective measures and
whether there is a conspiracy. The
Presidents letter was as follows:
THE rapid and unwarranted in
crease in the prices of foodstuff in
this country upon the pretext Of the
conditions existing in Europe is SO
serious and vital a matter that l take
the liberty of calling your attention
to 1t.
81 would be very much obliged IL
you would advise me II there is under
the existing law any action which the
Department of Justice could take
either by way of investigation or le-
gal process and what federal legisla-
ton, If any, would, in your judgment,
be justifiable and warrantable in the
circumstances.
81 feel that this is a matter that
we cannot let pass by without trying
to serve the country. Certainly the
country ought to be defended, il pos
sible. against men who would take
advantage of such circumstances to
increase the price of food and the diff
ficulties of living"
