FOR
THE SCIENTISTS

the Katmai country, they said they be-
Ileved there was little likelihood Of an
eruption this summer and declared
they were certain there was absolutely
no danger attached to the investlga
ton. Katmai's last big "blowoff" was
In June, 1912.
The party Of twenty-six scientists Is
headed by Professor Robert A. Griggs
Of the University of Ohio, and some
are from Carnegie institute. TheE
were planning to make observations
of the botanical, biological and geo
logical effects of the 1912 eruption.
In 1918 Professor Griggs headed a
party of scientists to Katmai and re-
turned with the announcement that
the crater was the largest on the globe
and that near Katmai lay great
valley whose floor was dotted with
thousands Of mouths vomiting gray
vapory gas and smoke. This valley
Prof. Griggs named 1.-THE Valley Of
Ten Thousand Smokes" Instead Of
10000, 1t is said there are literally
millions of smoking vents.
Congress recently set aside 1.-THE
Valley Of Ten Thousand Smokes" as
national property, and 1t is believed
that some day it Will be q second Vel
lowstone geyser field. Steaming
springs, 1t is said, will eventually take
the place Of the present smoking
vents.
Professor Griggs and his party ex-
pected to remain In the Katmai dis
trict until the middle of September.
Until they return nothing probably
will be heard from them, as there is
no direct means CT communication
Mrs. Griggs and her children accom-
panied the professor to Kodiak. an
island near Katmai, and will remain
there during the summer waiting for
him to return.
Moving pictures of the smoking
mountain and valley are to be brought
back by the party.

Each Beauty in HaFem
Demanded a Gold Tooth.

Trials Of a toothpuller in a
harem we're described by DR.. A.
S. Hungerford Of Teheran,
Persia. who visited Toledo on
his way back to the Pacific
coast.
Fourteen years as the royal
dentist for his majesty, the
Shah of Persia, who has a nifty
harem in his palace, has con-
WINGED the dentist that life with
a surplus Of beautiful spouses
does not have all the traditional
joys.
One Of the doctors first duties
In the Shah's palace was to pull
a tooth for a member of the
harem. When the dentist fin
ished her beauty had been en-
HANGED by a brilliantly flashing
gold bicuspid. Such jealousy
did this addition 90 her beauty
strike in the hearts of the harem
that forthwith they all went
salaming and sobbing to the
Shah, charging his majesty with
partiallty. His majesty got out
of the difficulty by ordering a
gold tooth for each of them, but
to even matters up ordered three
United States molars for him
self.

faIfa-American Commission for
Relief Is Doing Great Work
In the Near East.

Constantinople, Turkey. - Two
American nurses, Miss Margaret Mack
of Hillburn, N. Y, and Miss Ruth
Stuart Of New York city, working for
the American commission for relief in
the neal East, declined to abandon the
sick and wounded at Shusha, Armenia,
after having themselves survived a
massacre by Tartars of 700 of the
Christian inhabitants OF the town, ac-
cording to a letter just received here
by Maj. David G.. Arnold of Provi-
dence, II. l., director of the commits
sion.
"Our doctor and nurses were in the
midst of the fight, but were unharm-
ed" says the letter. son advice from
General Beach l recalled the two
nurses. They came reluctantly as
there was an urgent need for them
among the survivors. The spirit Miss
Mack and Miss Sturant have shown
has been splendid and / felt that they
should be allowed to return if they
went as volunteers. They signed pa
pers to the effect that they knew the
danger and that they were returning
to their work at their own request"
Mendino Magnetos With Thread.
A humorous touch to an otherwise
tragic situation is related by a relief
worker at Oulou Kishla. who writes:
1.-THE men working out from Oulou
Kishla are covering a large territory
and obtaining large experience. Their
chief outdoor sport is lodging camel
trains and leaping culverts. Coaxing
the missing spark plug from its hiding
place vies with mending magnetos with
thread as the chief form of recreation.
II is a rule that after the explosion of
the twelfth tire each day the fivver
knocks off and its riders camp for the
night, sharing their pillows with any
rowing dromedary in the vicinity, and
giving a treat to the predatory mos
quitoes. There is a warm box car in
Oulou Kishla, and q cook loaned to
the commission by MI. Oscar Of the
Waldorf. No one is to have his name
or address because the world is full of
guile"
The commission has lost three men,
bers by death, Paul ID. Pelter of New
York city, the Rev. r.. S. M. Emerich
and Miss Edith nj. Winchester Of Phil
adelphia, who was among the first to
volunteer for work In the typhus rid
den Caucasus.
Starving Children Die Daily.

once a day the cart goes around to
collect the eight or ten little corpses
that have accumulated. Refugees are
eating grass and alfalfa. The alfalfa
they eat raw; one can always see
children nibbling It,"
From Batoum comes word that
"there are 10000 Greek refugees
