VALLEY OF 10000 SMOKES
Alaska Has One of the Worlds Great.
est and Least Known Natu-
raj Wonders.

One of the worlds greatest and
least known of natural wonders is the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes near
Mount Katmai in Alaska, brief de-
scription of which is given in the Cen
tury by Andrew ]. Stone. The valley
is a volcanic depression from which
steaming and smoking gas and lava
jets leap into the air by the thousands,
some of them no larger than a pencil.
Sulphur flowers of every known
color and tint have been scattered by
the unrest of the internal fires along
the valley walls and floors, until look
ing at it from distance it seems one
vast welter of paint from hundred
tubes mixed by mad artist with only
a suggestion of theme. With care one
may walk about and mingle with the
pools and spouts, and watch with mar
yelling eyes streams of boiling water
rush into tiny lakes from one direc-
ton, while cold streams carrying float
ing ice rush in from another, and
where the one small body of water car
ries every degree of heat from freez-
ing up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

PAPER CLOTHES IN JAPAN
Much Might Be Saved by Adopting
Kimono as Everyday
Dress.

The japanese have had paper clothes
for many years and some of the most
attractive kimonos in the Far East
are tailored of wood pulp. An ex'
pert on Japan insists that the layman
will find it hard to distinguish these
kimonos from the expensive silk wrap
pers. Everybody in Japan wears XII
monos," he remarked, according to the
New York Evening Post, "and the pa
per garments are very popular and In
expensive. For about $1.5O you can
buy a kimono that looks like 500
outfitand feels like it, too. The pa
per is soft and pliable and it can be
draped gracefully about the figure. II
Americans, men, women and children
alike, could be converted to the XII
mono as everyday dress, paper clothing
might become the only wear"

TWO DISTINCT PARTIES COME
OUT OF OLD SOCIALIST
ORGANIZATION.
MINORITY LEAVE HALL
PLAN AGREEMENT WITH MOS.
COW FOR WORLDWIDE
REVOLUTION.

Berlin, Oct. ISM. Zinovieff and NJ.
Losowsky, Russian soviet delegates to
the independent Socialist conference at
Halle, have been ordered by the Ger
man government to leave the country.
Pending their departure the Russians
will be under close police surveillance
and will not be allowed to receive or
communicate with friends.
Two distinct revolutionary parties,
one pledged to the dictatorship of the
proletariat, through an alliance with
the Third Internationale; the other
working toward 'proletariah comrade-
ship" in opposition to Moscow, have
developed out of the wreck of the In
dependent Socialists.
The left majority, under the leader
ship of Daumig, Adolph Hoffman,
and Otto Bass, the young leader OF
Rhineland labor, conferred on the
question of executing an agreement
with Moscow for world revolution,
and directed the district leaders to
prepare lot Il StIlhe.
The minority, under the joint pres
idency of George LedebOur and Herr
Crispien, in Il separate convention, laid
plans to communicate with the revo-
| lutionary forces in all countries op'
posed to Moscow and prepare an or
ganized campaign against Bolshevist
methods.
They adopted Herr Ledebour's reso-
luton of sympathy with Bolshevist
aims, but expressing unalterable oppo-
sition to the policy of obstruction
and terrorism"
The two conventions adjourned, both
claiming the old party's name.
The minority faction was defeated
237 to 1876, on the question of adhesion
to the Third Internationale.
In the majority session, which con
tinued after the minority group left
the hall, greetings on behalf of the
Third Internationale were extended by
NJ. Zinovieff, the soviet emissary to the
gathering. He urged the conference 4
send representative to the Commun
list internatiOnale organization.
Before the adoption of the major
ity resolution George Ledebour ant
Herren Rosenfeld, Crispien and Dit
mann offered compromise resolution
pledging the party to sympathy will
soviet Russia, but declining to join al
organization seeking to promote {
world revolution through terror an'
destructio1." This proposal, however
received scant consideration.
A flareup was caused at one stage
of the debate by Herr Hoffman, call
ing Herr Ledebour an "old woman"
The party split leaves the Moscow
adherents in control of twenty-one o
the eighty-one reichstag deputies.

is leader, adopted resolution direct

New York.-It all came about-this
police court fairy tale-because little
Miss Thirteen, who Is wide-eyed Anna
Gold. was visiting "down the block"
on the evening Of Saturday Aug. %.
Anna was sitting with her friend,
Mrs. Marie st. Jacques, on the first
floor of the two-family house at 534
Fifty-seventh street, Brooklyn, when a
plaintive, frightened voice came to
them:
Mrs. st. jacques, oh, Mrs. st.
Jacques; have you anything to eat"
The words melted into choking sob.
Little Miss Thirteen leaped to her
feet and rushed upstairs. In dark
bedroom opening on the hall she saw
dark shape huddled against the wall.
She got some matches, lighted one and
saw thin, pale little lad, his slender
arm, bound by rope and his frail
body encircled several times by anoth-
er rope which was attached to spike
driven into the wall.

"Don't worry, little boy" reassured
Little Miss Thirteen, her eyes gushing
tears of sympathy. Il will get yor'

Soon she returned with some bread
and milk. She helped free Little Mas
ter Tens arms, fed him and was leav-
ing to get some more food when the
sound of approaching steps and shiv-
er of terror in the boy warned her the

So Little Miss Thirteen had to be
content with repeating her story to
Mrs. st. Jacques and other neighbors
who warned the Children's society.
SO it came about that Little Master

STATE HONORS LINCOLN
MEMORIAL PARK ERECTED
NEAR NEW SALEM
Court Circuit Which He Travel

cha Ir0n D. the 'tClary's Grove Boys,
wili be Completed by next spring and
with the addition of the Old Salem
museum, will be thrown open as the
Old Salem State Park, according to
announcement OF State Architect Ed
gar Martin.
Log huts, as they were in Lincoln's
day, have been rebuilt. Their location
and arrangement is exact. Foundations
were found undisturbeG except by
the wear of time, and the houses re-
constructed over them. Atmosphere
OF 1881 to 1887 in SO Tar as possible is
re- embodied. The store where Lincoln
was clerk, the mill on Sanganon river
and all other structures of New Sal
en-, SO rich in memories of the great
American, have been completely re-
stored and lack only the finishing
touches.
Museum For Relics.
Beside reproducing the actual village,
the state has added q large frame
house Of the better class in Lncoln's
day, which Will serve as state mus
cum to house Lincoln relics. This
house is modelled after fine old resi-
dence in st. Genevieve, Mo-, which
village Mr.. Martin said is as town
lifted bodily out Of the last century.
The architecture is of the best of
Lincoln's day.
Contracts for the wiring, heating
and plumbing Of the museum have just
been let.
In restoring New Salem the depart
ment was forced to follow the same
tactics used in restoration OF more
ancient cities. New Salem dwindled
rapidly after Lincoln moved away, and
shortly after 1887 was entirely desert
ed When the last general assembly
authorized the creation of the Old
Salem State Park, only the weather
beaten foundations could be found.
The sixty two acres OF the restored
village and state park are twenty
three miles northwest of Springfield,
in Menard county.
