United Se Rich Beauty Where Find
 Mountain Plain, Lake He Take

Mt. Mitchell and other heights of the Southern Appalachians and the White Mountains in New England of fer to those who live in the East abundant opportunities near at hand for climbing and hiking in the noun tains. exploring trips in the woods, and many other forms of outdoor recrea- ton.
 On the top of Mt. Hood the traveller will find, during the summer season, not only the view but a. friendly fire lookout glad to show him special points of interest and to talk about how to discover a fire and how to spot it exactly so that it can be attacked and put out without delay. The fire lookout stations are always placed at vantage points from which extended views of the forests can be had, and a visit to one of them is well worth while.
 Good Sport
 The fisherman. the hunter, the nat uralist, and the camper will find no less attractive vacation grounds than the sightseer. On the Fremont Forest in Oregon, there are grouse and sage hens by the thousands on the sage brush plains. ducks and geese on the lakes and streams, antelope and mule deer in the high country, and trout and salmon in the waters. In the Siskiyou Forest, also in Oregon. there are quail and partridge and large herds of deer. In the Lassen, in Cali fornia, the hunter will find deer. grouse, sage hens, and quail, and ducks, geese and other water fowl These are only a few samples. The forests are generally so situated as to be the natural habitat of game birds and animals. and in many of them State refuges have been estab blished. from which the game spreads out over

 ~HE Hopi Indians of the Painted Desert strained their eyes toward
 the sunset and could dimly dis
 - cern the Coconino Mountains on the western horizon. There they be- lteved was the house of the Sun, in which he rested at the end of his days journey. IL Is not surprising that tho mountains looked restful to tho desert dwellers. Many a weary citizen walks tho hot monotony of the city pavement and longs for the cool uplands and the cfangeful reaches of the mountain stream. clear and spark ling and broken now and then by the leaping of a trout. But where," he says to himself. "can I go to get away from the trammels of civilization without running into the banalities of resorts: how, without outfittins caravan. can get off the beaten track. and in the freedom of the woods and mountains learn once more to be man and not a mach!ne?" The an- swer 10 all his questions can be found in the National Forests.
 An Attractive Horseback Trip
 If he likes forest and mountain scenery viewed from the back of horse, let him take tho skyline trip along the crest of the Continental DiNlde in the Routt National Forest, Colorado. He may even ride his horse 10 the summit of Mount Ethel, 1,94O feet high. and from there get an ex- traordinary view of mountains and plains, canyons and alpine lakes. And near at hand the fields of columbine and the tranquil. wooded lakes will tempt him often 10 pause and pitch his tent. Three-quarters of a mile above the ranch lands below. the Great Divide bears on it's broad back twenty or more lakes. most of them rock

much English is spoken at Volandam that one begins to think that the Dutch language is a lost art. "We learn it from the artists who come here" said the woman. 'in fact, one taught me the English language when I was a child.''
 Sunday Great Day
 There are about two thousand in- habitants in the village from Saturday until Monday. for then the men are at home. Sunday is a big day in Volan- dam and the main street is thronged with the people wearing their best clothes. They are nearly all Roman Catholics and are regular attendants at church. They have a dinner of eels and steaming potatoes on that day. The cells are fried and the potatoes boiled and each one is dipped in melt ing butter before it is eaten. Forks are almost unknown there and these people literally follow the old saying that fingers were made before forks" so the pieces of eel are eaten with the fingers The steaming potatoes are in the center of the table beside a bowl of melted butter.
 The Volandamer selects his potato. picks 1t up with his fingers, dips 1t in the butter and then in his own lan- guage "demolishes it.''
 The eels are eagerly sought after. especially by, the children who can easily be bribed to go to church on the promise of an extra piece of eel for dinner. There is a wedding nearly every Sunday which is followed by the ringing of the village bell and then those who are invited go to the eel and potato feast at the home of the bride- ''The marriages always occur

 opened what looked like a wardrobe and disclosed bed much like a berth on Pullman car. The bed was downy and covered with a fancy spread, while the snow white pillow case was trimmed with lace. There were several of these closets in the room each containing a bed. "The entire family sleep here" volunteered the woman, my husband and six chill dren. Of course, he is away fishing from Monday until Saturday. when he gets home with his catch" We soon discovered that the house consisted of two rooms, a kitchen and the living room with the bed room closets. Just how the family Ypdressed with any privacy was not explained. How do you get air" was asked. "Oh, the heart shaped cuttings in the bed doors let in enough,"was the answer. You know the night air Is not good for one"
 Before one had recovered from the shock of the cramped bed rooms an other instance occurred which was even more startling. A visitor asked for drink of water and the mistress , called to little Jan to bring one of the beautiful silver cups which rested on the mantlepiece in the room. Then she turned back a rug and lifted a board in the floor and drew up a bucket of water from a small we'll be- meath and dipping the cup into the bucket offered the visitor a drink. The American woman hesitated. "Oh it's all right" she said. you, should go to my brothers place, they often have frogs in it. there" All of this was spoken in good English. in fact. so

 Quaint Customs Of Natives

- HE traveller visiting places in Holland rarely omits Volandam,
 the home of the quaint fisher ~folks of that wonderful little Kingdom. The trip there is generally made from Amsterdam and is along the dykes through the canals. The country is replete with evidences of thrift and industry and everywhere one meets something out of the or dinary in this day of modern improve ments and advancement. There may be seen fields of grass as green and as luxuriant as in the richest part of England. where the finest cattle in the world graze to give the milk and cream from which is made the famous Holland cheese.
 But this is not Hollands only in- dustry, for the country Is rich in its fisheries and great part of the men who go "out 10 sea" live at Volandam, a little village on the Zuider Zee.
 Artists Paradise
 This place is truly the artists para disc and many spend tho entire sum- mer there sketching the fisherman and their families. It is an unhealthy looking place with bad drainage, yet one never seems to contract any dis ease. The houses are small. being generally one and a half stories in height with a brilliant red roof. They have quaint furnishings. indeed some are filled with rare antiques.

PATRIOTISM OF
 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Contributed by P. J. Brennan.)
 Some weekly newspapers whose anim osity to the Catholic church is we'll known announce that the church forbids the display of the American Flag on the coffin of a soldier or sailor.
 This is an unqualified libel on the Church which has always honored the flag and allowed soldiers to be buried from any cathedral or church ac- cording to to the customs of the army or navy.
 In many of the churches. at the front entrance, the paintings of the Cross of Christ and the American n Flag entwined in loving embrace are displayed.
 The church takes pains to foster patriotism among her children to- gether with love and esteem for re- ligion.
 The writer has seen Cardinal John Farley and other prominent digna- tories of the church stand at the chance1 of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City and salute the Flag as 1t was carried in the edifice in the presence of 5000 true Americans and devout Catholics as it was brought into the edifice by various organizations.

HONORS TO FATHER DUFFY.

With the wind blowing forty kno ts at hour and the rain coming down in sheets 1000 men and youths march ed from 165th street to 1S1st street in the Bronx over the Grand Concourse.
 Father Duffy sitting beside Bronx Borough President Henry Bruckner, in an automobile, which was banked with flowers received a welcome all along the route of march.
 Honcred by All Creeds-
 Catholics, Jews and Protestants took part in the parade and all along the route the crowds were made up of every creed and color, religious lines having been erased in the en- thusiasrn of the home community for its war hero.
 The Concourse was beautifully dec orated with American flags overhead, as were most of the houses along the line of march. Here and there a green flag could be seen.
 Participating in the parade were Knights of Columbus, Elks. Y. M. C. A. members, Salvation Army 1assies, Jewish societies. Red Cross army nurses and representatives of many other organizations.
 Three hundred members of the old 69th lead by Lieut.. Col. Alexander NJ. Anderson and his staff marched di- rectly in front of Father Duffy's au- tomobile.
 On Saturday night, May 10th, in the mess hall at Fordham University a banquet was rendered to Father Duffy by the committee in charge of the Bronx celebration The toast master was Francis Martin. and among those who spoke were Col. William J. Donovan, ex4Gov. Martin H. Glynn, Victor J. Bowling, Surro- gate Schultz and the Right Rev. Ed ward H. Murray of ,Coburg. Canada who in Father Duffy's youth was his spirit advisor. Seventy years old, he came from Coburg especially to take part in the nome folks greeting.
