needs reconstruction in the cetu7l sense for her towns and villages have been destroyed and must be rebuilt. There are thousands of people who have lost everything they possess and are now returning to what was once their homes and trying to rebuild them as best they can, and in some instances our own soldiers who were in the neighborhood helped them 10 lay bricks and do carpenter work whenever they could find material left by the Germans.
 The President of the French Repub. lie created an Interministerial Com mittee to aid in the rebuilding of these devastated regions. Laws were passed for the spending of three hundred mill lion francs for the purpose of pur- chasing draft animals. cattle, seeds. plants and agricultural machinery for the purpose of the resumption of agri- cultural life. The French peasants were always known for their thrift and it is expected that things will soon be in working order. France lost sev- eraI million men and a large number were disabled. but many of the latter have recovered so far as to do certain duties in aiding in farming. A com mittee of bankers and economists were appointed to lay out a plan of fnanc- ing these farmers The Huns were particularly destructive in some parts of France, where they destroyed the fine fruit trees which it will take years 10 replace, but already new orchards have been planned.
 So far France has had few labor troubles for the people seem so anxi- ous to get to their homes that they are eager to work and get back to the happy days before the war.
 As the war seems to have turned
 the world topsy-turvy even countries l like Spain, Switzerland and the Scan l dinavian countries which were able 10 | escape the war have set about to work | out an entire reconstruction of labor with new ideas, and when Labor Day i rolls around next year it is hoped that an industrial peace has joined with l the national peace and that the lands l will be flowing with milk and honey.

Honorable Lloyd George, England's Prime Minister, has taken hand in the matter and appointed Recon struction Cabinet in which eacn man has certain lines of duty. Each one makes his report to the Prime Min ister and they have frequent meetings.
 Towards the close of the war the statistics showed that 2,22O,0OO men and 7O40OO women were employed in shfpbuilding and ammunition plants, most of whom it was understood would have to seek other employment after the war. From n army of 450.- 900 in 1914 England's Army grew to 100000 men, a great number of whom were drawn from the labor sup ply In many instances their places were filled by women. This called for a Labor Welfare Board to look after the health of these women. many of whom had children whose fathers were at the front. for England's future generation had 10 be taken care of Like the United States, England paid big wages. which led to an industrial unrest. and now that the denobiliza- ton has come and many of These in dustries must close some of these women find themselves widows or wives of permanently disabled soldiers, and England has a gigantic task on her hands for the care of these women is too large for private societies and had to be placed under Governmental care.
 Whole books might be written on England's reconstruction troubles, but in the end it seems that the real and most difficult work will fall upon Eng lands great man-Lloyd George.

 Bits of petrified wood have been found in many places even as far North as Yellowstone Park, but no where else in the world is there a col lection anything like that found in Arizona Several polished slabs of the forest were shown at the Chicago Ex- position in 1893 and Tiffanys in New York have a huge polished slab which most people think is a piece of onyx.
 There are curious erosons in the mari in which the forest rests. some great mounds with ditch like marks which seem to have been made by wa ter. Also curious formations which are almost as interesting as the forest itself one a curious vase like shape rising out of one end of a mound. Many years ago pair of hawks built their nest there and raised their young. For several years a pair of hawks can-e each year and were the only living things in the miles and miles of stone trees. It is not known whether they deserted the place or whether they were killed, as for sew eral years the place has been vacant.
 Homes Of Prehistoric Race
 All along the route to the forest one finds interesting cliff ruins of the pre- historic people, people whose works show marks of an early civilization. There are walls of stone and mortar and fagstone pavement in a fine state of preservation. The nearby rocks are covered with hieroglyphics made by these same people. The cutting | seems to have been pecking the smooth rock surface with some harder stone like petrified wood rather than some metallic instrument One Of the figures is a lone man and bird and an animal. The nearby Indians know nothing of the meaning of these fig ures.
 To those who love natures unique mysteries the petrified forest will | prove a never ending delight. and all who take the trip will gain in health 1 by breathing, if only for a few days, | the fresh, pure Arizona air.

 Fortunately 25.625 acres haze been converted into national monument and within the limits of this the beau ties of the forest have been protected for all time. as there is a heavy fine or Imprisonment imposed for injuring, destroying or appropriating pieces of petrifed wood or other objects of antiquities in this area This preserva- ton of the forest" was due, it is said. to the fat that several years ago men were shipping it to New York. where 1t was being made into emery and while the amount seems endless nevertheless in time the great wonder would have been destroyed if no pro tecting measures were taken.
 Not \ Single Tree Standing
 In speaking of the forest one must not suppose 1t a forest of trees, as that Is usually understood, but tons and tons of trees which have been turned to stone and which lie prone upon the ground, in fact, there is not a single one standing. They have fallen as orderly as they grew, not huddled as if in long jam. They are broken in various sized pieces from chips to the body of large tree lying in one forest and a great petrifed tree one hundred and fifty feet in length stretched across a chasm. which is used as a bridge in another part of this dead forest. In fortunately several years ago some vandals tried to break the bridge by chopping huge pieces of stone away from the trunk at the center. This weakened it and the Government fear ing that it might break, built pillar of masonry to prevent such a calamity. Naturally this is the real view of the forest although everything is of interest
 Log Nine Feet In Diameter

~ HE coming of peace has brought A its problems which will take G more time to solve than was re- ~<D quired to win the war. During wartime the Governm mt has abso- lute power to commander labor and capital and use them for certain dcif- nite purposes. In times of peace no such power exists, and in the read justment of industries much must be left to private initiative and control. The Government may be under some obligation to those who went out from their accustomed vacations. and those whose capital was diverted from ordi- nary business channels seem entitled to some consideration until there is a readjustment.
 It could not be expected that a dis turbauce such as afflicted the world should correct itself in little while 1t will take years. and even then pre- war conditions will never return. Pa tience, concession and consideration for one another must prevail or trou- ble, serious trouble, is to come. Labor which gave freely to war. but which benefited more than any other class. must be reasonable and must accept a readtustuont along right lines just as capital must realize that f.. too, must yield some of it's former rights and privileges and the two great forces work in harmony and in equitable re- lations towards each other, otherwise there will never be an industrial peace. During the war when it was necessary that ships and ammunition and various kinds of war stores should be sent to Europe at once wages arose

Woman's invasion in our industries and whether she will retire to her home life now that peace has come is one of our greatest problems. In many places she is drawing equal pay with the men and should she refuse to leave the workshop and factory our birth rate is sure to suffer and the children who are born to the workers will be left to the care of others, which will in many cases result in their careless

 ~ HE vast majority of Americans do not know of the many inter E esting things to see in the south
 D western part of our country which has often been called by those who have seen its wonders "the great unknown southwest"
 In the old days before the war when so many people went to Europe it was the wonder of the natives on the other side of the Atlantic why =ople came over there when there were SC many wonders at home, and one of the first questions the American was asked was Have you seen Niagara Falls or have you seen the Grand Canyon" Very often this was answered in the nega- tive. especially when that Great Canyon which is without doubt the most mar vicious piece of natures work in the world, was mentioned.
 Nearly every part of the Far West offers great attractions and especially the State of Arizona for there, besides the Indian Reservations and the att tendant evidences of the distant past of the Aborigines of America, the San Francisco mountains with their lava beds. and the Grand Canyon, is the great petrifed forest full of interest 10 the ordinary tourist and this can be seen with no great hardship.

 The petrifed forest of which so lit- tie Is known even to the coast to coast traveller offers much in the way of magnificent beauty 10 the tourist. and 70 the geologist seeking that remaining silent yet unmistakable witness of the various stages in the earth's evolution and formation. Here one may spend hours. days and even months examin- ing and studying the many beautiful specimens of petrifed wood of every variety of size and coloring. each tell ing some story of the time and con dition leading up to the making and 'estruction of the forest. -..- .
