SWINGING PILLAR IS FOUND
Hunters Uncover Phenomenon; In
Green Mountain, Near Canon
City, Col.

Canon City, Colo.-Gently swaying
to and fro, huge granite monolith
forming unique natural monument
has been discovered on Green noun
tain, several miles north Of this city.
It is believed to be the only "swinging
monument" in the world.
The shaft is more than 100 feet
high, and in the course of many years
has become free from all surrounding
earth formation, except at the base,
which is about IL feet wide. In. the
center, the granite column tapers off
to width at the summit practically
the same as at the base.
Lee Hughitt, water commissioner of
Canon City, and A. V. Hodgin, Ere
mont county commissioner, came
across the phenomenon recently while
on hunting trip.
They report that the entire shaft
moves, probably from two to three
feet at the apex, and the swinging is
constant under the pressure Of light
winds. The base Of the shaft, they
said, rests in a small hollow about
three feet in depth and the contiguous
granite formation has been entirely
disconnected.<

relieve the pulp and newsprint famine,
Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Alaska de-
clared here recently.
Governor Riggs was here on his way
from Juneau, capital of Alaska, to
Washington, where he expected to help
press pending legislation intended to
remove restrictions and allow pulp
manufacturers to go into the Tongass
and Chugaeh reservations, the north
ern territory's two great reserves. ~.
Pulp and paper men are anxious to
go to Alaska and establish mills as
great as these operated in British
Columbia not far south Of the Alaska
boundary line, the governor asserted.

ers cannot enter the reservations with
any certainty that they will be allowed
to stay. =. -. .,... $780,

pine, hemlock, Sitka spruce, white fir
and lodgepole pine, are on the forest
reserves alone. - '.~-. -..,>

DR.. Frankwood e. Williams, associ.
ate medical director Of the national
committee for mental hygiene, In the
current number of Mental Hygiene.
Complex community life brings
about fnnumerable necessities for ad.
justment in the individual, and failure
to make these adjustments with q
measurable degree Of success is often
responsible for so-called mental OF

point clear. -...ss e'.,- p.sl .... J.,

Doctor Williams says there may be
obvious reasons for anxiety or fear,
and that these should not be over

lies deep and must be carefully sought
after before relief can come. -
1t is in these cases that the psy-
