And If Mr.. Harding, instead Of be-
Ing installed as chief executive Of the
worlds biggest republic. had been
seated as one Of the heads Of the
smallest republic, San Marine, he
would have experienced the most
elaborate procedure OF all. He would
hove donned quaint medieval state
garments; would have marched
through the streets Of the capital pre-
coded by heralds and escorted by gor-
geously-uniformed soldiers; would
have attended preliminary church
service during which his predecessor
would sit on a canOpied throne soon
to be occupied by him; and finally,
would have had placed on his head q
headdress Indicative Of his Office.
In addition to differences in the off,
cial ceremonies by which the presi.
dents Of the world are indicted into
Office, there are many variations in
the festivities and celebrations that
accompany these events. In some
cases the accompanying observances
have become practically part Of the
official procedure. The newly installed
French president almost invariably
drives to the Hotel de Vile, the Paris
city hall, after taking office, to attend
a luncheon and reception as the guest
Of the president and members of the
municipal council. In Mexico, during
the evening preceding the midnight in
duction into Office, the president-elect
usually attends banquet given in his
honor by the mayor of the City Of
Mexico. There is a public reception
at the presidential palace the morning
after the Inauguration.
In Chile the Inauguration day is
often closed by special concert at
the municipal theater, and ON the fol-
lowing evening the new president gives
state banquet for diplomatic repre-.
sentatives, special ENJOYS and high
officials of the republic and the prov
inces. II

those of many republics, is alone In

THE WINNING OF THE CA.
MADAM WEST

discovery OF OIL IN northwest Can.
ada toward the Arctic circle has In
creased the Importance of the western
Canadian provinces near the United
States border, which will be the door
way for the new oil treasury.
The prairie provinces Of Canada
Manitoba, saskatchewan, and Alberta
were not without their bids to fame
before this discovery. For example !:
The last Of the wild buffalo herds
Of America, survivors of the millions
of animals which roamed the plains
and woodlands Of the continent, now
ranges through northwestern Alberta.
This province alone is estimated to
contain Is per cent Of the worlds
known coal supply. e
The myriad of wild ducks, geese,
and other migratory fowl that fly
northward each spring are for the
most part bound for the northern
parts of the three prairie provinces,
where they build their nests and rear
their young.
The three provinces are naturally
considered at once, for among them
they cover all of Canada which is in
process Of being settled, west of the
older Great Lakes province of On
tario and east of the Rocky noun
tains. This is Canada's "West," where
restless pioneer spirits from all lands
are carving out an empire as kindred
spirits a generation or SO ago wrought
the wilderness of the Missouri valley
and the great American desert into
the rich states Of today. f
The Canadian pioneers have advan-
tages over those who won the Amer
lean West, in that they have better
railroad methods and equipment, te,e-
phones and wireless. But they have
a relentless new enemy in the bitter
cold Of the northern regions of the
provinces. For though the southern
portions are separated, from the United
States by only an imaginary line. and
are similar to the northern reaches of
| Minnesota, North Dakota and Mon
1 tara, of which they are geographically
q part, to the north the three provinces
sweep to within 500 miles Of the Arctic
circle.
The predominant part of the popu-
lation and development Of the three
provinces Is in their southern halves.
In this region Winnipeg, capital Of
Manitoba, with its population. close to
100000, is Canada's Chicago Of a gen
Grafton or SO ago: while Edmonton,
capital of Alberta, is the ST. Paul Of
a similar period. The northern por.
ton of the provinces is a region
crossed by many rivers and dotted
with numberless lakes, a region divid.
ed between woodlands and ''muskegs,'
or swampy flats. There the trappel
still reigns supreme and life is prim
tive. E. III j. n.

ICELAND: LACKS ICE AND
RAILROADS f

10 most persons about as reasonable
as carrying wheat to the Dakotas, cot
ton to Texas or beans to Boston. But
according to press dispatches the Ice
landers made an appeal during the
past winter to Norway, the nearest
European country, to ship them Ice in
order that they might save their her
ring harvest from being spoiled by the
mild weather.
The land which has come down in
history as Iceland might with more
accuracy have been given a diametri-
cally opposite title, and called 1.-THE
Land of Fire" The surface of no
other country, perhaps, is SO deeply
marked by the whitening blasts that
we'll up from time to time; and in no
country of equal area are to be found
SO many volcanic peaks and vents.
Nearly 5000 square miles of the 49,
600 Of the country's area are covered
by lava flows. ..r.
Iceland is approximately the size Of
Ohio and about 5000 square miles
larger than Ireland. 1t is only q short
Greenland, and it's northernmost cape
just touches the Arctic circle. From
there the midnight sun can be seen.
In spite Of its position SO near the
North pole, Iceland, thanks to the
Gulf stream, has a relatively mild win
ter climate. Reykjavik, the capital,
is in the same latitude as Nome, Alas
ka, but has January temperature
milder than that Of Munich, Germany,
or Milan, Italy.
Icelandlc summers, however, are
cool, due to the large fields of ice
that float down from the North. Grain
cannot be grown satisfactorily, and all
breadstuffs must be imported.
Though Icelanders. faced by implac-
able natural forces and conditions,
have been unable to achieve any great
degree of physical development on
their. lava-covered, shcrt-summered is
land, they have made notable advances
in less material fields. A truly re.
markable literary development sprang
up in this far northern island in, the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries, a
full hundred years before the Renais-
sance began to make itself felt In
sunny Italy.
In more recent times the Icelanders
have shown themselves to be In ad-
vance Of many parts Of the world in
their social and political ideas. Wom-
en- had full political privileges in Ice
land earlier probably than in any 9TH
er civilized country. At the present
time part of the Althing, the 1celandic
parliament, Is elected by proportional
representation. Votes for women Is
not the only mark which feminism
has placed on the life of Iceland. The
custom Of women retaining their own
names when they marry is more gen.
eral in Iceland, perhaps, than in any
other modern country.
The political status of Iceland Is in
some ways peculiar. In effect it might
be said to be an autonomous state in
partnership with Denmark. It has no
army or navy and is under no obli-
cation to contribute either men or
money to the Danish military forces.
Denmark recognizes the country's per
manent neutrality. Furthermore, the
present arrangement is only temper.

fort here about 1882 The English also
laid claim to this territory, including
1t in the grant to North Carolina. It
was not until ITO that the first per-
manent settlement was made by James
Robertson and this was soon followed
by many other settlers from North
Carolina. They formed what they
called the Washington district, but
this was short lived as 1t was prompt
ly annexed to North Carolina. In
1884 the inhabitants. indignant over
North Cardinals attitude toward
them, declared their independence and
formed the State Of Franklin, Or Frank
land. AS this secession was not coun-
tenanced by North Carolina, for a
number of years u state of confusion
existed with two sets of officers trying
to govern. Meanwhile the settlement
suffered severely from hostile Indians
and from the Spanish. who still held
Louisiana, and controlled the Missis-
sippi river. In 1870 North Carolina
finally coded this territory to the Uni

increased to over 10000. SO Ten
