DR.. ALDEN DESCRIBES
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Government Hopes to Attract There
Tourists Who Usually Go
to Europe.

Glacier National Park. one Of the
newest in point of establishment as
park and at the same time one of the
most remarkable from a scenic stand
point of the fourteen national parks
owned by Uncle Sam, was the subject
of an illustrated address delivered by
Dr. William {. Alden of the United
States geological survey at the Uni
versity Club last night. DIR. Alden,
who took part in the geological exam
ination and study Of the park made
by the survey. discussed the geology
and the scenic features of the park.
Dr. Alden, in discussing the geologi-
cal formation of the park, said that
the mountains are not volcanic, that
they are the result of tremendous
thrusting force from the west, which
resulted in showing one edge of what
had been a plain on top of the other.
There are four mountains of over
10000 feet elevation in the park, he
said. At one time in the earth's history.
said Dr. Alden all the territory in
that neighborhood, northern Montana.
had been covered by an ocean. Prehis-
toric oyster shells. he said. are found
in the park today. In the park are
some ninety glaciers. said DR. Alden,
these giving the park it's name. The
glaciers range in. width from a few
rods to four miles. The park abounds
in lakes. clear and cold. and in many
instances of very great depth.
The government is doing more and more
to make this park. along with other
national parks. the playground of the
American people.
1t is the purpose of the government to
get the travelling American public to visit
the country's national parks instead of
carrying millions of dollars abroad each
year in search of scenery which hardly
equals and does not surpass that of the
parks here.

TINY INSECT CAUSES
QUEER FATAL DISEASE
DR.. Townsend Tells of the Verruga
Which He Observed
in Peru.

Lecturing before the George Wash
iugton University Medical Society yes
terday evening in the Medical School,
DR.. Charles H. T. Townsend of the bu-
reau of entomology and National Mu-
scum told of the curious disease known
as "verruga," as observed by him dur
ing a two-year visit to Peru. The lee
ture was illustrated by lantern slides.
This disease, which is fatal in about
so per cent of the cases, Is confined to
an extremely limited area. During its
course it passes, in period varying
from "A few months to over year,
through four distinct phases. During
the final stage the infected person is
afflicted with wart-like erupt!ons. and 1t
is from this fact that the disease has
come to be known as verruga, which,
when translated, means Wart.

turbing the peace, claims he was
struck in the face by a policeman.

Discovers the Pest.

After studying the disease for some
time. always at a risk of contracting
it, Dr. Townsend became convinced
that it was transmitted by tiny
blood sucking insect. strongly resem-
bling the common gnat, and known as
the phleyotonus 1t was ascertained
that the disease was only contracted
at night. From the fact that the uls, ,
ease is confined to clearly denneo
area, it was argued that the agent Tor
it's transmission must be confined TO
that range And, obviously. the insect
must be of the bloodsucking family.
The tiny phlevotonus was d1scov,
cred to be the only insect that flled
the bill. and upon it today. as a result
of Dr. Townsend's investigations. rests
the entire blame for the much dreaded

Hshed. and various means are now
