Library In Chief Town Of +, the FIJI
Islands That Was Remarkable
In Many Ways.

Perched up on the sixth floor of a
Manhattan apartment house cast my
mind back over my wanderings of the
past few years and recall various
libraries that I have known.
For sheer grotesquerie, the palm
belongs to library in Suva, chief
town Of the Fiji islands. It was a
little, low, wooden building and was
open only three evenings a week. You
walked to it by way Of Victoria parade,
a broad acacia-shaded boulevard which
skirted the waterfront, passing Fiji
ans with their elaborate high ,coiffure
and spindlelegged Hindus toting the
inevitable umbrella.
In the reading room sundry of the
European or Australasian inhabi-
tants, arrayed in white duck, sat
about reading by the Pickering light
Of oil lamps ancient copies of Punch
and the Illustrated London News. The
books were as old as the magazines.
once asked the librarian what he
had in the way of late literature. and
he suggested Darwin's "Origin Of
Species"
Such books as were available, more
over, had suffered considerably from
the attacks of the whit ant. which
had industriously bored through the
pages.
The librarian himself was so old
that IL he had claimed Homer as a
contemporary 1t would have been quite
credible. A dignif1ed dowager would
occasionally arrive with a Fijian "boy"
in tow. The native hung respectfully
outside until the dowager emerged
with a few books, which she handed
to him.-New York Times.

trembling made his entrance AZ Jack
Deane. Fortunately. he had q bit oG
q cold and his voice was sufficiently
unlike Doctor Gavin's to deceive Helen
completely.
Helen most certainly was all any
man could expect from the feminine
world. Her hair was softly brown,
here eyes wide and Intelligent and her
gown exquisite. Also her laugh was
contagious. Doctor Gavin found HIM
self hurriedly and precipitately fall
ing in love.
And Helen liked the friend from the
West even though her ear was keyed
to each footstep in the hall. She some
how felt disappointed that the doctor
made no real attempt to know her.
She turned suddenly toward the doc
tor.
What part Of the West do you come
from?" she asked.
Not being prepared he took a ran
dom shot.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa." he lied beau
tifully never having even passed
through the charming midwest city.
No! Reallyl Grace didn't tell me
that. l was born there"
And then the doctor was IN for 1t
properly. Such volley of questions
and inquiries and so fiat and disap-
pointing were the answers that fol-
lowed that Helen was more than a lit
tile suspicious that he had never seen
the word Cedar Rapids printed even.
She turned from him trifle annoyed.
The doctor was in a fine position
for man who has just decided that
he has met the only girl and looked
around desperately for relief.
Suddenly telephone bell rang and
rang.
Helen heard it and her heart flut-
tered. Tom looked worried, Grace
startled and only Doctor Gavin seemed
pleased.
"If you'll excuse mel must answer
my phone-night be an important
call-like some others Of recent date"
He slipped out before word was
spoken.
"Grace! How could you?" Helen
burst forth. "You said he was dark
and short and had u mustache; and
he's sandy and wonderfully built and,
and" but Helen stopped and blushed.
Anyway, 1 like him-so there"
81 knew you would" laughed Grace,
and Tom wore disgusted look. He
knew that the women folks were up
to matchmaking and couldn't let a
poor, harmless doctor alone to be
happy.
And on the way home in the doc
tors cozy coupe Helen said with an
unsteady laugh, II have given you a
good deal of trouble, doctor, by hav-
ing made that mistake"
Eyes, and you will have to give me
more than trouble before our accounts
are Strengthened out. IL"

Helen, but her voice held more of en-
ticement to continue than she was
quite aware of.

so very kind. fes. will hold the

Doctor Gavin heat hasty exit to the
other apartment on his landing and
Tom Berkley answered his knock. His
excuses for intrusion being made, he
asked if Mrs. Berkley would like to
talk with Miss Moore.
Mrs. Berkeley, the Grace Darling of
the card, appeared flushed and lovely
from the kitchenette.
That was only the beginning of
numerous messages that DR.. Gavin
bore to the other apartment. 1t seemed
as IL Helen and Grace had endless
things to say to one another after six
in the evening, the hour that the doc
tor reached home.
Three weeks later he was, as he
vulgarly expressed it, "thick" with the
Berkleys. They liked him and he
liked them. In the back Of her mar
ried heart Grace already had her best
chum and the very delightful doctor
happily in the matrimonial moose. She
did not, however, cOnfide in any one
Helen Moore was naturally curious
as to the general aspect of the man
who so kindly acted as messenger and
Grace always willingly expounded his
charm, but that charm was totally the
reverse type of DIR. Gavin. Helen had
confessed to a thrifty feeling over the
affair and had an unexpressed desire
to meet the bearer Of messages.
The day was fast approaching when
Doctor Gavin realized that meeting
was inevitable. He wanted 1t, yet was
curiously panicky at the very mention
of a foursome dinner, often casually
suggested by Tom Berkley.
'sDoctor Gavin" said Grace after
mature thought, twill you come in and

Helen is coming and know you feel

harmony and effectiveness may char
acterize the administration of the ma
tion's park areas"
Representative Carl Hayden of Ari-
zona, speaking in the house in support
of the national. moEument estimate
of $4,000 asked for by the national
park service, said among other things:
There are "a national monuments
under the jurisdiction of the national
park service, and it is not only vain
but foolish to expect that they can be
administered, protected, maintained.
preserved and improved at an average
annual cost of little over $500 each.
as is provided by this appropriation
of $12,500. The visitors to the Casa
Grande ruin increased from 1857 in.
1919 to 7,72O in 1920. But $4,000 has
been expended for the repair and ex-
cavation of this Great House. built
by a prehistoric race of which the
present Indian tribes have no tradi-
tion ard which was found as a ruin
by Father Kino, the Spanish explorer,
in 1894. The amount appropriated
will provide practically nothing but
the salary of the custodian.
"MOntezuma's castle is another ma
tional monument which is sadly neg
lected and suffering from vandalism
"a custodian should likewise be ap-
pointed for the TumacacOrf mission,
which is threatened with destruction
by those who have from time to time
dug up its floor and undermined
its foundation in search of gold and
silver which, according to tradition,
was buried there by the Spanish
priests. Unless an ample appropriation
is made this mission, founded about
173O by Father Kino, win fall into
complete ruin. Over 5000 visitors in
spected this ancient mission last year.
"Last year over 10000 people visited
the Petrified Forest National monu-
ment and during the height Of the sea-
son it is estimated that from one to
two tons of petrified wood was carried
away each day by these tourists, which
the park service was pOwerless to pre-
vert.
..I hope that in the future something
more substantial will be accomplished.
At least $500 on the average should
be appropriated for the care Of the
national monuments. or total Of
$4,000"
The SO national monuments may be
thus classified: Prehistoric monu-
mepts, IL; historic landmarks, 8; nat
ural monuments, 20. This is only a
beginning. The national monument
system should embrace important pre-
historic remains, historic landmarks
and areas illustrating the range of
geological phenomena, fauna and flora
and picturesque scenery. These ma.
| tional monuments can be set aside
by presidential proclamation under the
act for the preservation Of American
antiquities. And If we, do not get
them soon, we shall not get them
at all.

Ihls was scratched in pencil across

formed the young doctor that Helen
Moore was the caller and her tele-
phone number was Plaza 2119.
Now Doctor Gavin felt that at a

he most certainly could not be Grace.

contain about 100000 acres. Con-
gress appropriates for each separately
ana not always with discrimination.
The Department of Agriculture,
through the forest service, controls
the national forests. They are de-
voted to grazing and numbering and
contain about 156,0OOOOO acres. As
the national parks are created from
national forests, the Agricultural de-
partment has been opposing national
park legislation. Also the Agricultural
department has been openly campaign
ing to secure control of the national
parks by the transfer of the national
park service from the Interior de-
partment. AS part of this campaign
the forest service has been developing
national forests for recreation pur-
poses, in competition with the national
parks.
In addition to the 10 national parks
there are seven national military and
other parks under the control of the
War department: Chickamauga and
Chattanooga, Antietam, Shiloh, Get
tysburg, Vfcksburg. Lincoln's Birth
place and Guilford Courthouse.
There are 36 national monuments.
Twenty-four are under the Interior
department, 10 under the Agricultural
department and two under the War
department.
The "a national monuments under
the Interior department were granted
an appropriation of but $125OO for
the calendar year of 1921, instead of
$27, 900 asked by the national park
service. In 1920 the appropriation
was but $1,000. The result is that the
national park service is unable prop
erly to protect these monuments, to
say nothing of improving them.
Unless the many desirable areas are
quickly made national monuments.
they will be destroyed by vaIdals. Yet
congress does not appropriate money
enough to protect those already Gre
ated.
The advisability of putting all the
national parks and monuments under
one control is thus set forth by Direc-
tor Stephen 7. Mather of the national
park service:
"All of the national park. areas Of
the country are Eot under the jurtsdic-
ton Of the national park service, and
the time is at hand when the national
park system should be consolidated
under one head. Surprise is often
expressed at this anomaly. The ma
tional park service was created for
the express purpose of administering
and developing, under the direction
of congress, all the great scenic at
fractions of our national domain,
"It is exceedingly difficult to explain
why some of these great national won

partmeIt of Agriculture, while others

Santa Fe, N. NJ, that opens up the
whole national monument question.
DR.. Hewett's suggestion is contained
in an illustrated article in Art and
Archaeology, a magazine published by
the Archaeological Institute of Amer
lea. In substance it is this:
ITO meet condition that exists all
over the Southwest, it is suggested
that under national monuments sec
tiOn of the act for the preservation
of American antiquities, it would be
feasible to establish national monu-
ments districts, in which all ruins of
certain degree of Importance might
be set out and be protected by the
government. For example, from Mesa
Verde in Colorado and Aztec in New
Mexico to the Colorado river in Utah.
the San Juan valley, including large
number of tributaries, is region of
archaeological monuments. 1t seems
timely to suggest to the National
Parks association and to the depart
ments of government having custo-
dianship of the antiquities on the pub
lie domain, that without Withdrawing
large area from settlement, the
most important ruins might be desig-
mated as units in national monu-
ments district, to be administered by
the national parks service. Parcels
of a few acres will suffice in almost
every instance.
1.-The greater part of these ruins are
on the public domain, and most of
those that are not might in some way
be brought under protection. 1t is
probable that many private owners
would, If the matter were brought to
their attention, donate important sites
to the nation.
"The plan proposed for the protec-
tion of the many ruins of the San
Juan valley would apply equally well
to the Rio Grande, Gila and other
sections. The Pajarito plateau, and
the entire Jemez region to the west
are equally rich in ancient ruins.
"In cases where ruins are on state
owned lands, as are old Pecos mission
and Tin part) Gran Quivira in New
Mexico, and numerous ruins or school
sections in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah
and Colorado, a system of state monu-
m6nIS Uc eSldDllSl6u dudlOSOuS
to the national monuments plan, and
administered in some, cooperative
way"

The great army of national park
enthusiasts is hoping that under the
present administration the whole ques-
tion of national parks and national
monuments will be threshed out, with
the result Of settling upon a national
policy and placing the control Of the
national parks and monuments in the
