D0DG!NG AN AVALANCHE.
A Risk That Often Must Be Faced In
Climbing the Alps.


While an Englishman was climbing
one of the peaks of the Alps he came
to a stretch of broken snow about 100
feet in breadth. composed of the rem
nants of ayalanches which had fallen
from the face of the mountain above.
1t was necessary to cross it. An ava
lanche had fallen ten minutes before
this Englshman and his two guides
nad reached the place and another
would doubtless soon follow. The
crossing must be made between two
avalanches.
Twenty yards this side of the snow
track and perhaps 100 yards from the
threatening snow wall the little party
paused for critical survey The ques-
ton stood for instant decision. From
the appearance of the snow wall it
must be determined whether another
avalanche would fall within the next
few minutes.
Was it best to hurry silently across :?
Was it best to wait? Was the next
section Of the snow face in such a con-
diton that a mighty yell would send
an avalanche down and gave them an
opportunity for hasty retreat? On the
other hand, If they all yelled together
and no avalanche fell would the con-
cussion hasten the next fall. whereby
they might be overwhelmed In the
crossing?
One towering pinnacle of snow, push
ed a little beyond it's fellows, seemed
ready to totter to its fall They look
ed at it doubtfully. 1t ought to have
gone with the last avalanche. Would
it stand or would it fall within the
next three minutes? A hundred feet is
not much of a space to cross, but such
crossing, If through fresh. broken
snow from six to ten feet deep, is slow
and fioundering work.
From the time that the party came
within view of the snow the utmost ST
lence had to be observed. and now,
the searching but momentary scruti-
ny completed, one of the guides wills
pered that they could come along.
With noiseless speed they hurried for
ward. Silently they struggled through
the snow and as silently emerged on
the other side.-Los Angeles Times.

PENN'S OLD WOODS.
The Last Remnants of Our Once Great
White Pine Empire.


In the mountains north of Pittsburgh
there is a magnificent forest of white
pines, many of which were old when
the pilgrims landed at Plymouth. This
forest is one of the last remnants Of
all the vast white pine empire that
formerly extended from Maine to
Maryland, from Cape Cod to the prai-
ries of Dakota.
The white pine was the most useful
timber Of this nations early history.
1t was used in building houses and
making furniture. 1t served as fuel
and sturdy. white pine masts carried
the commerce of the young United
States through all the seven seas. Pine
tree shillings were among the very ear
lest coins miLtcd in America. The old
white pine flag was one of the earliest
emblems of freedom that rose on the
western world.
The white pine is Of an ancient and
honorable race. 1t has the majesty.
the vigorous individuality of the pio-
neer 1t is one of the tallest of trees.
1t is poetical or picturesque. and its
stately dignity adds serenity and dis
tinction to every sylvan landscape in
which it stands.
The Cook forest that survives in
Pennsylvania contains several thou
sand acres. The veteran pines are
from two to five feet in diameter and
from 100 to 100 feet high. Groves. of
aged hemlock and scattering of oak.
chestnut and maple mingle with the
white pine The forest would make an
admirable state or national park. In
deed, committee from the Pennsylya-
mia state legislature has recommended
that this glorious remnant of PENIS
woods be acquired and preserved by
the state.-Youth's Companion.

LOAN TO ALLIES MEANS

The Money Never Leaves Our

New York.-What the Anglo-French
loan means to the United States is
explained in a statement issued by a
group of prominent subscribers:
Ihis country has not been accus-
toned 10 extend credits. upon a large
scale, to foreign countries and many
people do not understand what such
credits mean to the maintenance and
extension OF our agricultural and
commercial interests.
Spend Millions Here.
During normal times Great Bri-
tain and France purchase from us.

we buy heavily from them. Ordinarily
the payments by one country to the
other are accomplished without the
Shipment OF coin. the indebtedness of

the other, and the difference. usually
constituting as all balance. is covered
by gold shipments or otherwise.
Now, owing to the war, our purch-
asses from Great Britain and France
tour two chief customers) have fallen
OFF, and their purchases from us have
increased enormously. Thus, the to-
tai trade balance in our favor for the
year ending last June was over ST.
OOO;OOO.000, of which $947. 900 900. or
over 90 per cent was represented by
the trade balance against these two
countries. 1t is clearly impossible
for these countries to continue to
meet these heavy balances, through
the ordinary channels of international
exchange. Such heavy shipments of
gold as would be required, for in
stance, are not only difficult, but in
these days unwise to undertake.
Moreover, this country already holds
stock of gold larger than it's i'm

Solves Americas Problem.
America must, therefore, find So
luton of the problem of financing for
time this favorable trade move
ment; or else run the risk of losing
large part of its export business;
for the United States appears to be
by no means the only country in the
world where Great Britain and France
can buy on favorable terms commodi-
ties they require. If these two great
nations are obliged materially to de-
crease purchases from US, the result
may be lower prices for our farm pro-
ducts, and less work for our factories.
This loan. therefore, which, in to-
tai amount, is only two-thirds of these
nations normal purchases from us
each year. is simply a system of de
ferred payments"

Officials admit that the border sit

raiders are under the personal direc-
ton of President Wilson. He has
given Secretary of War Garrison and
Attorney General Gregory authority
to resort to the drastic measures. Be-
cause of the inception of the raids on
American soil and the American influ-
ences believed responsible, the wild

spiracies are in circulation.
Who Are Behind 1t?
One report was that Villa was in

ernment's recognition of Carranza. in
hope of forcing American Intervention
across the boundary.
Another rumor was that Villa has
secured new American financial back
ing for further revolt. Still another
was that Felix Diaz was fomenting a
new revolution in cooperation with
Zapata.

THE study of etymology," says the
Philadelphia Record, causes no end
of trouble among that class of school
children whose knowledge of English
is limited to words which figure in the
ordinary street conversation. and
many curious results have followed.
The custom usually observed by the
teachers is to require such a definition
of the word. then it's derivation, and
finally a sentence in which the word
is properly used. The word .'ligament"
fell to the lot of rather difident boy
recently. He defined it properly as "a
band but followed up the correct
derivation with this remarkable Sc
tence: Il was Weakened up last night
