that the discovery of this parasite on

it Is SO. And there appears co be
ground for the statement that within
a few years Buffalo Bill's grave will
be the most-visited grave in the world.
This is the way of it: The city and
county of Denver have established the
Denver Mountain parks, lying between
the city and the peaks Of the cOnti-
mental divide. There are 1926 acres /;
the cost has been $477,s5O; there are
90 miles Of roads. Lookout Mountain
is one of the scenic features of these
parks. The main automobile road, of
which the Lariat trail is part, climbs
to Its summit. Buffalo Bills grave is
on the east slope of Lookout Noun
tain, and Is easily reached by a road
that turns out at the Golden reservoir
on the summit. Close by the grave
the city has established Buffalo Bill
museum. In the summer of 1921 ap-
proximately $4,000 visitors entered
the gates of the Denver Mountain
parks. OF these visitors about one
quarter was from other states. Most
of these out-Of-the-state visitors
stopped to see the grave and the mu-
scum. So much for the present.
The tourist business of the scenic
West is increasing tremendously year
by year. Denver is geographically the
gateway to this scenic West with its
twelve national parks and thirty-two
national monuments. 1t is the starting
point of the National Park-to-Park
highway. Most visitors to Denver in
the summer drive through the Denver
Mountain parks. So, as the tourists
grow in numbers, the visitors to Buff
falo Bilrs grave will increase.
The Buffalo Bill museum on Look
out mountain was opened to the pub
lie last Memorial day. The park Off
cials report that it,. In connection with
Buffalo Bits grave, has proved to be
the most popular feature of the noun
tain parks this last summer.
Pahaska Tepee Is the official name
of the Buffalo Bill museum. The name
is well taken. "Pahaska" is the name
given Buffalo Bill by the Sioux In
dians. The word means Long Hair"
The building is typically mountain
style in construction. Within It. are
housed the personal relics and collec-
tions of Buffalo Bill. This was made
possible through the interest and gen.
erosity of his widow. Mrs. Louisa NJ.
Cody. to whom nearly the whole collec-
tion belongs. And the crowning touch
of the museum is the fact that Johnny
Baker is In charge of it-yes; the very
same worlds champion shotgun and
rifle shot who was Buffalo Bill's right
hand man so many years in the show
business.
Certain 1t is that no American young
ster-to say nothing of the grownups
can pass by Pahaska Tepee without
stopping. The museum houses a de-
cidedly interesting collection. Some

~ phatic ideas as to the proper
l. way to put clothes away to
keep them from the moths.
Sometimes the housewife follows
these ideas and sometimes she doesn't
get TO it. Sometimes the moths stay
away-and sometimes they don't.
One good old Englishwoman says
that the best. and only. infallible way
to keep out the expensive pests is TO
soak the clothes in kerosene oil Then
ii doesn't make any difference where
YOU put the clothes or what you do
with them. she beamingly explains
in her bracing English accent. 1t is
so extraordinarily simple, isn't 1t?
The odd thing about it is that
though this Englishwoman has told

this method of keeping moths away,
they won't try it. Well. then, all she
has to say is that they deserve to
have moths in their clothes. II you

The trouble with moths seems to
be that they generally dislike the
odors we dislike. Whatever we have
recommended 10 US 10 Keep them out

certainly not select individual Sd =
chefs. Tar and camphor and even
cedar leaves a pungent almost suffo-
eating odor that makes people wish
to send their cloths to cold storage

hit upon the idea of sending their
furs to the pawnshops for the sum-

the summer months and not having
to pay much more in addition than
the cost of cold storage. But that.
