GLACIER NATIONAL PARK.

GLACIER is one of the newer OF our

OUR NATIONAL CAPITOL.

1T is but fitting that America-the
! greatest nation in all the world
should have the finest capitol building
on earth. The architectural beauty of
our national capitol building ut Wash
ington is most impressive and, for capi-
tol purposes. 1t is said to surpass
every other building In the world.
The base of this immense. SYM
metrically shaped and imposing edifice
rests on level plateau, at an eleva-
tion of 97 feet above the historic Po-
tomac river. The building faces the
east and Is about one mile distant
from the White House. The corner
stone of the original structure. which
comprises the central portion of the
present building and is of Virginia
sandstone. was laid by President Wash
ington on September 1S. 1793-125
years ago. Later. when 1t became
necessary to enlarge the building, two
additions or wings. of Massachusetts
marble, were added. President Fill
more laid the corner stone; Daniel
Webster was the orator. These wings

were restored. The original building
was completed In 1927.
The present structure Is 751 feet
long and $50 wide. 1t covers three
and one-half acres. The central por-
ton is surmounted by one of the most
graceful, pleasingly shaped and mas
sive domes in the world. This dome Is
2S7 feet high. 1t was completed In
1865. 1t weighs more than 100000
pounds and is topped by statue of
Freedom almost 20 feet high.
The total value of the building and
grounds Is estimated at S25, 10000

MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK

IsTHE mountain that was God" wrote
John d. Williams. Mount Big
Snow" said the Indian. At any rate,
the most wonderful mountain In the
United States-its hoary-headed peak
piercing the blue sky to height of
almost three miles. while Its base COW
ers hundred square miles of territory.
Its isolation, standing alone as 1t does
instead of in range, makes its mighti
ness all the more impressive.
Uncle Sam created national park
around 1t and thus preserved it as one
of our greatest sights. SO we can all go
and see 1t and wonder for ourselves.
Like all volcanoes. Rainier built up
its cone from the material thrown out
from Its interior. But a terrific expio-
sion destroyed Its cOnelike top and
greatly reduced its height. 1t has not
been in eruption for nearly so years,
though steam Jets sometimes melt the
snow at its summit and hot springs
flow from its base.
Twenty-eight glaciers. born from the
snow which covers the mountain, ra-
diate from its peak and form one of
the largest known glacial systems
From these great ice fields there natur-
ally lead off numerous streams and
rivers which find their way. through
beautiful canyons, to the lower alti-
tudes. Below the glaciers. in an open
space which circles the mountain, grow
millions of gorgeous wild flowers, pre-
senting beautiful spectacle as well as
marvellous contrast to the snow
above. Below the flowers are dense
and immense forests of fir, spruce and
cedar.

The point that is mainly interesting
about coats for girls and misses lies In
their new style features. for they are
developed In all of the soft, limp coat
ings that lend themselves to draping
or shocking or shIrrings. Velours or
duvetyn, and similar cloths with new
names, make variety In the choice OF
cOatings but do not provide great
amount of dissimilarlty, so that 1t is
design and style that must serve to
distinguish them. Besides these hand
some and dressy fabrics there are the
dependable tweeds and homespuns In
sturdy coats for school. that are pre-
scented in trim and comfortable models.

Henry p. Dawson was talking about
the numerous correspondence courses
in five lessons-each lesson to be mas
tered in one evening over the after
dinner cigar-which teach man how
to become Napoleon of finance.
"You can't learn to be Napoleon
of finance or anything else SO easily"
he said. "These courses remind me Of
the man who brought his son to the
school of mines and growled:
"I want you to learn this here boy
to be an expert mlnln' engineer. but
look a.here-I don't want him to waste
his time over lot of book nonsense
about strata and denudations. and
don't bother him with minerolOgy and

learn is how to find gold and silver and
copper in payin' quantities-payin'

him and put him in to work Monday a

Wool furs, or fur fabrics. have be-
come thoroughly established staples
that manufacturers of suits and top
coats reckon with each fall in making
up their lines of practical garments.
Where wool furs undertake to look
like the pelts they initiate they are so
marvelOusly close to the original that
1t requires "A careful inspection to dis
tinguish between them. Sealskin is
Initiated in wool fur that keeps one
guessing, unless it is almost within
arms length. and there are furs almost
as successfully initiated. But some
times the manufacturers of wool fur
use a genuine fur only as an inspi-
ration and interpret it in fabric
that is handsomer than the original.
This is what has been done in the
case of the material that resembles
the natural muskrat pelt, which is
used so much for coats.
AS trimming for cloth suits wool
furs prove more practical than real
furs, from the standpoint Of service,

In Its buoyant waters is both delight

The lake contains eight islands. Four
rivers empty fresh water into 1t. but
its surface neither rises nor falls. Hav-

Scientists figure that the lake con-
tains more than 5000. 100000 tons of
salt and almost 10000, 600 tons of sui
