AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION
OF THE OZARK MOUNTAINS.
~. S. Press Rnlletin.l

| ". % ltoo bulltAlhsl
Every school boy in the Mississippi
Valley knows what is meant by the
Ozark Mountains, but for the benefit
of others they may be described as the
highland area in Southern Missouri,
Northeastern Oklahoma, Northwestern
Arkansas, and Southern Illinois AL
though the mountains are not very
high, none of them being over $500
! feet above sea level, they are rugged
and picturesque, and they comprise ex-
tensive plateaus cut by deep gorges
that eliminate at the south in the
Boston Mountains, the toughest part
CT the area.
The Ozark Mountains are described
in recent publication OF the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, called the Eureka
Sprlngs-Harrison folio, which is num-
hered Folio 2O2. This publication con-
tains four maps, some showing the
shape, ruggedness, and elevation of
the mountains and the routes of trav-
ell; others showing the rock forma-
tons to which the mountains owe
their ruggedness. The folio is illus
trated by a number of beautiful views
Of gorges and mountain scenery and
by many diagrams. A large colOred
plate of sections of the earth down
nearly to sea level shows the wonder
ful arrangement Of the rocks, layer
upon layer, which are here and there
cut through by stream gorges that eX-
pose the alternating beds of limestone,
shale or mud rock, and sandstone, and
the order in which they were laid
down in the sea, for this area was
once covered by sea-a great Mediter-
ranean or Gulf of Mexico, only shall
loWer-in which were deposited the
sediments brought into it from the
surrounding highlands by the many
streams. During the millions of years
that this sea existed, thousands of
feet of sediment accumulated on its
bottom, layer upon layer, and in this
sediment were incloSed skeletons of
the peculiar forms of life that inhab-
tied the sea-corals, crablike animals.
and shellfish of many kinds. The
edges of these beds, once soft mud and
and sand but now hare rock, are eX-
posed in gorges and hillsides where
they can be studied and where the
fossils they contain can be collected
Among the rocks are certain beds
0f commercial value. Many of the
Lrf6stones, locally called marble,
make excellent building stone, and
some of the pure quartz sandstone
Lay be used in making glass. Prom
ising deposits of zinc and lead have
been discovered and mined in this
region. The clear, sparkling springs
OF pure water that issue at Eureka
Springs have a wide reputation, and
the folio report should be Of special
interest to those who visit this resort.

barely covers the cost of printing and

his moneys worth of interesting and

MOVEMENT TO PROMOTE
PRODUCTION AND THRIFT
Active Steps Taken Toward the For
nation of Home Achieve
ment Clubs.

Active steps toward forming series
of home achievement clubs in various
sections of Washington were taken by
the executive committee of the Wash
ington Home Achievement League.
meeting yesterday afternoon at the
Willard.
This movement is the outgrowth of
a conference of presidents of home and
school associations and parent-teacher
bodies, called several weeks ago by
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of
the Mothers Congress and affiliated
parent-teacher associations of the Dis
trict.
Reports were received of the appoint
ment of committees to begin the forma-
tion of clubs in Takoma Park and
Piney Branch. The league will lay
special stress on the home garden
movement. and it will include fly swat
ting and paper saving efforts.
Plans for Boys and Girls.
Twelve units of achievement have
been formulated for boys and twelve
for girls, and each child entering a
club will pledge himself or herself to
carry out four Of these units. They
include the care, moving and water
ing of lawn. the cultivation of a
home garden not less than twelve
square feet, the care and management
of a poultry yard, the home canning of
not less than twelve varieties of vege-
tables and fruits. for boys and the
care of a room other than her own
the home canning of fruits and vege-
tables, washing and wiping dishes,
sewing and making of not less than
four garments and similar tasks for
girls.
On the executive committee now are
Mrs. Rafter, A. H. Benson of the De-
partment of Agriculture, DR.. Paul
Bartsch, Mrs. Leonard Doten and Mrs.
Fulton Lewis. Others are to be added
before a second meeting next week,
Success in Other Cities.
The home achievement plan has been
successfully tried in other cities. Some
of its objects are described by the or
ganiZers as follows:
ITO organize and direct boys and
girls in home projects making for home
education, economy and thrift
ITO set standards of achievement for
home enterprises and to help in this
effort through committees.
ITO have young people become pro-
duceKs of value and conservers Of re-
sources.
ITO give greater appreciation of
home environment"
Mrs. Rafter explained that the move
ment seeks to combine production with
thrift, believing that much stress has
been laid upon the latter virtue with
out the basis of such thrift having been
established by adequate production.

Womeps Clubs. The central feature
of this department will be a model
rest ROOM, an attractive arrangement
of three rooms and dressing room full
ly equipped. This model rest room
will be found on the second floor of the
women's building and is designed to
meet a two-fold purpose; first, as an IL
l~ustration to visiting club women and
others who are interested in SEEING
rest rooms established in their own
towns, showing as it will, necessary
equipment, cost, advantages, etc. Sec
ond; it will serve as an attractive and
restful meeting place, not only for
club women and those interested in
other organization work, but for all
Tri-State Fair Visitors.
Daily conferences from 3 to 4 III

will be led by prominent club women
from the three states, and by others
who speak with authority on problems
confronting clubs in cities, towns and
rural communities. Such subjects as
community organization, community
cooperation, community education out
side and inside the school room. con-
servation and sanitation, will be treat
ed along educational lines.

dtr her capable Of making this depart
ment a signal success.

are heartily cooperating to make this
department one of real interest and
| help, not only to club women, but to
| all Tri-State Fair visitors. The daily
programs, which are being prepared,
( will hold something Of interest to all
who come, both women and men.

ADMIRABLE IN TONE.

No part Of Mr.. Wilson's communica-
ton is more admirable than that in
which he states the principles of the
United States in this wal. He de-
nounces any after-war economic ALL
ances against Germany, and his de-
nunciation destroys this conception
born of the first Paris economic con
ference. He renounces for us the doc
trine of punitive damages, and with
this declaration there disappears what
ever prospect there was Of a repetition
by the victorious allies of the policy
adopted by victorious Germany toward
France in 1871. He renounces for us
all sympathy or support for any poll
cy involving the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
Germany. Thus he writes his approval
of the spirit and of all that was sound
in the Russian program of no apnexa-
ton and no indemnity.-New York

Why does Uncle Sam keep our sol

There is turkey and there-is chicken
With stuffing nice and grey
But it does not taste the same TO us,
With our soldier boy away
This may be hfs last Christmas
We hope not. yes We pay,

For only one short day
When he has done his duty
For his country's sake.
1t seems AZ though that it ism, right
This pleasure from him take.

For she looked ahead TO this great

To say her last goodbye
But at the last moment
she received the fatal news,
Her soldier couldn't be there:
