SURE BLACK
HILLS BEAT THE PARKS
Deputy United States Marshal Re-
turns From Long Tour, Tells
of Their Beauties.

John Gammons, chief deputy
United States marshal, has been ar
rested" by the scenic beauties of the
Black Hills region of South Dakota,
which he says surpass Yellowstone
and Glacier National parks.
One week was spent in touring by
automobile the places of interest in
the Black Hills. such as Lake Syl-
van, so miles south Of Deadwood, and
$500 feet above sea level, and Har-
ney peak with an elevation Of $500
feet, said to be the highest peak
east Of the Rocky mountains.
The federal marshal was absent
from Fargo about two weeks. One
thousand five hundred miles were
covered, the trip starting at Mandan
and then taking the party through
the northwestern part Of South Da-
kota, the central portion, eastward to
Pierre, northeastward to Aberdeen
and thence into Fargo.
For an enjoyable auto tour. the
tourists will find beauties that can
not be surpassed in Yellowstone and
Glacier National parks" said the
deputy marshal. 81 visited Windy
Miles and miles Of ii have not been
even greater than the mammoth cave
of Kentucky"
At Lake Sylvan, the waters are SO
clear and the cliffs rise so abrupt
that one is unable to see the shore
line because of the mirage. The roads
are excellent in the Black Hills dis
trict and gasoline is only 80 cents
compared with so cents a gallon in
Yellowstone.
Such places as Hot Springs,
Deadwood, Lead, Custer City and
towns along the Big Sheyenne
abound in attractions which, when
they become better known to the
tourists Of the land, will lure them to
the Black Hills.
The Black Hills are a group Of
mountains with an elliptical uplift
of 5000 square miles in area. The
group obtains its name from the
black pine forests with which 1t is
extensively covered. The region is
one of the richest reproducing
districts in the United States and
contains also numerous other metals.
Ranges and hog-backs have been
formed by the erosion OF the
stratified beds to the underlying
carboniferous rocks.

Many persons who are apparently
well are carrying diphtheria germs
about in their threats. and when
they come in contact with people
who are not immune they give them
the disease, and so epidemics start.
Large cities have found that the

Is In charge OF soldiers singing at

"A singing soldier is a fighting sol
der" said Mr.. Clark, in speaking on
the subject at the Arts Club last night,
'and our military authorities recog-
nized the big value of the singing
men in the allied armies In Europe
and at once entered upon the idea Of
making our own army a singing
army
at is the first time that singing
has been officially recognized in the
army as an adjunct to its war ma
chine and has fits part along with
tactics, strategy, and other military
sciences. Singing exerts q great In
fuence on the psychology Of the sol
dier. It gives him q cheerful mind
and a laughing countenance: It brings
the men together into closer bonds
OF comradeship- Singing has banished
the crouch. and where there used to
be gloom in the barracks there Is
now song"

The average photographer, when
he makes a portrait, hatters the sub
ject by retouching until the actual
lines which make up 4 persons fea-

demonstrated the wonderful differ
ence IN natural apd mechanical fea-
lures Of caricature. For years he ad-
vocated his thoughts. similar to those
he advocated last night. when he was
a cartoonist on Washington papers.
but the Washington public did not
realize the force and power Of his
cartoons until Louis Raemaekers ap-
piled this same force and power In
his cartoons and applied them to the
war. And today the public realizes
that Mr.. Mahony was years ahead Of
himself.
He further illustrated his original
method of clay modelling, life studies
under natural and artificial light. and
advocated his method OF natural
poses without removing the very es-
sential Of which a person is made up.
