follow the example of the old writer-whO
put all his punctuation marks at the end Of
the volume, instructing MS readers 70 pep
per and salt 10 suit themselves-andt to re-
serve his geology for an appendix, that
could be cut out if any one was 50 in
cIined. But geology Is as essential part
OF our national parks as fountains of YER
sailes; they are geology in the making.
And If, on the whole, Mr.. Yard has not
acquitted himself well OF a difficult task
there Will be few to tell him wherein lie
has failed.

there was no place To 20 but home that
Americans began to see America last.
Now there are Us many flivvers trekking

movies for the first time viii be interested
in Pearl Whites description of how it
affected her. The following paragraph Is
taken from Just Ne, the autobiography of
this popular star.
Il had gone on about three weeks be-
fore | saw my first picture on the screen.
Oh. what a sensation that Is. Up until
that time | had mental picture of myself
that was quite good looking. but when
| got a flash of myself as | was and as
others saw me. | nearly died. | was so
disheartcned that | walked out of the
studio and disappeared for three or four
DAYS. If it hadn't been that l was IN
the middle of picture and they wanted
me to finish it, that woad probably have
been my last appearance on the screen
There has not been in the great flood
of non-hterary autobiographies Il more
human or engrossing one than this of
Miss Whites, nor has any one woman, 1t
would seem, ever don" quite SO many ex-
citing things in a short lifetime. We
would expect the star of The Exploits Of
Elaine and The Perils Of Pauline to have
had an adventurous career, but this is
even better than we bad hoped. Playing
Moses in the bullrushes'' with IN infant
cousin was one of her earliest exploits,
and no less exciting was her first stage
appearance as Little Eva when Uncle
Toms Cabin passed through the village
and the child who was playing Little Eva
fell ILL., The young Pearl was mounted
on ladder in the midst of the death
scene when hs- father. whose permission
she had neglected to get. came into the
tent. At seven she sold newspapers, and
it was during the same wear that she saw
a parachute for the first time and de-
termined to make one for herself.
MY father had large umbrella, and |
figured if l should open it and step off
from some high building could take hold
OF the handle and descend to the earth
a la parachute. finally got everything
all set. All of the kids in the village
we're notified and l appointed my brother
as manager of the affair. | sneaked the
umbrella and dressed myself up in a long
union suit that was TO serve me as tights.
I also swiped red ribbon somewhere and
tied that around my waist. That would
have probably been my last trip on or to
earth, as the old building on the top Of
which l was poised was sixty feet high.
But was all ready, umbrella in hand and
just going to step off, when my father
arrived on the spot"
Later experiences in the circus, at work
in a printing Office, as member of
numerous stock companies, brief term
rs stewardess on a coast line steamer, and
me final plunge into movies, make up the
rest Of this amazing tale. Miss White
never loses her charming naivete and no.
where is shis more evident than in the
closing chapters, which deal with her trip
to Europe, the first vacation since her
initial stage appearance as Little Eva.
1t may be that one day her own life will
be put on the screen, and if it is we dop't
want TO miss it. There is one delightful
