Puzzle of "The Switzerland Trail' Road

ID OULDER, COLO.-Many a visitor
I'D to Rocky Mountain National park
has delightful memories of his trip
into that most popular of all the ma
TONS public Fairgrounds by way of
the Denver, Boulder & Western rail-
road. This road was so picturesque
that it was called "The Switzerland
Trail" Visitors got on at Boulder
and got off at Ward. 1t was climb,
climb, climb every foot of the way,
for Ward is 9,269 feet up in the air.
The road was as crooked as the horn
of a Rocky Mountain sheep and often
the passenger could Look down direct
ly upon the way he had come. And,
of course, there were all sorts of Won
derful viStaS.
From Ward the visitor went by au-
tomobile stage to Estes park via AL
lens park, Copeland lake and Longs
peak-a magnificently scenic drive
Well, in 1919, the Colorado state
public utilities commission gave the
road leave to abandon service, because
it's income was insufficient to justify
its operation. In July, 1920, the Su-
preme court, in a suit instituted by
various mining companies, which pro-
tested the order to cease service, in
structed the utilities commission to

CEATTLE.-The divorce proctor for
~ Seattle says right out in open meet
ing: "We have nothing but system
of trial marriage in this state. Many
persons marry five or six times and
some others ten or twelve times be-
fore they settle down to the humdrum
of life"
1t seems that Washington has been
quietly forging ahead in the divorce
business. Hitherto it has been sup
posed that Reno held the long end
of the divorce trade, but Washington
has simply beaten Reno out of the
field. 1t just shows what the progress
sive coast states can do when they
sit up and take notice. Reno granted
991 divorces, or three day, during

No Wonder Seattle Looks Down on Reno

the first eleven months of last year.
But Washington granted 2,430, or ~
a day, during the same period. Ener-
gy, enterprise and ambition have won
deserved pre-eminence. .,,...
Washington seems to have courted
the success that has come to her. She
has the most attractive divorce laws
in the country. All that you have to
do is to expreSs a wish to be divorced
from your husband or your wife, as
the case may ibe and the decree Is
made absolutef on the spot. !, Almost
any reason wiz do if the judge has a
fellow-feeling pr you and wants to
help and not hinder, to boost and not
knock. All tha statutory causes for
divorce have been swept away In
Washington, Where they have what
they call blanket prOviso by which
the judge may Accept any reason that
happens to LOON good to him.
1t is true thSt there is a residence
clause In theF Washington law by
which an applicant must live in the
state for one year before he, can ap-
ply for divorce, but the law can
easily be circumvented by becoming
the nominal tenant of a dwelling and
then going wherever you wish until
the year has expired.

old Love TOKENS
Years Ago All Valentines Had a
Personal Touch.
Much of the Romance of the Day Has
Passed, Though Sentiment Is
the Same as Ever.

Three hundred years ago young men
and women wrote their own valen-
tines, which consisted then only of
love notices. or declarations of affec-
tion, written in verse from very full
heart and on plain paper. Many Of
our great-grandmothers saved these
old missives.
Perhaps our parents came across
such valentines, old and yellow and
decaying, packed away in lavender in
the bottom of dusty trunk up in the
attic. Yet when these valentines were
first penned and put in her hand how
grandma's heart did palpitate and the
bushes rise to her cheeks! No mat
ter how halting the sonnet, or ana
gram or triOlet. it was the music of
love to her. Heart" dart" and "art"
did rhyme sweetly!
The machine-made valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per-
sonal touch, though perhaps some Of
them have gained from an artistic
point of view. Today it is only the
school children and a few OPEN hearted
interested groWn-ups who find the GUS
tom of valentine making and vaIen-
tine giving the fascination that it used
|. to be. Why, even Charles Lamb wrote
valentines, and loved to-
Now the modern young man drops

might accuse some young woman he
admired of being a coquette without

meaning as "vanp" has today. 1t
meant heartless trifer.
If she thereupon sent him a hand
made valentine on which were two
bleeding hearts made as one, it was
her answer to his accusation. 1t meant
that conquering the hearts of other
men than he, meant nothing to her
that only his heart and hers in all
the world counted, that her heart was
bleeding for him just as much as his
was suffering for her.
The comic valentine is an outgrowth
or burlesque of the super-sentimental

CUPlD'S OWN DAY
Fourteenth Of February Belongs
to Him Alone.
Anniversary Brghtens the Drab Month
With Memories of the Past and
Joy of the Present.

Frightening the dull, drab month Of
February and doing their very best
to cheer up and bring love into our
hearts, the valentines-the valentines
smile at us with their lace-and-forget-
me-not daintiness from the shop win

that come in big lace boxes. like
French dolls; there are valentines that

come Cinderella coaches of cardboard.
laden with Loves and Venuses and
Cupids. Others resolve themselves in
to airy pink-and-blue palaces-you
never knSw-peopled with delightful
goddesses and doves.
But the best and most sincere, per-
haps, are the Old-fashioned valentines
-vistas of foamy paper lace, through
which you look upon hearts redder
than lovers lips, in a prospect of vio-
lets and forget-me-nots. And hidden
away, like a billet douX in bouquet,
little verse:
This heart sweet love, send to you.
Together with these violets blue; =
And If you like this heart of mine,
| pray you be my valentine.
Could anything be more simple or
direct to the point? AS unerringly as
Cupid'S darts or a beau's rapier, the
verse carries it's message home. 1t
may be that the Elizabethan lyrics.
the love songs of Herrick and Love
lace and Sucking, survive today only
in the valentine.
And. ah, what memories these har-
bingers of love bring with them! They
lead US back along the columbine-
bordered road to yesterday, over the
asphOdel meadows of Youth and First
Love and Childhood Fancies; and we
meet and kiss our first sweethearts
| again-aIas, they have gone out Of
our lives these many years.
And so, dear little Valentine, accept
these violets and forget-me-nots, and
| hug this message close to your heart
! for surely sweetheart is the sweeter
| for valentine, and, as all wise men
know, It's love that makes the world
90 round.

HHICAGO.-One of six hOldup men

He was identified as Alfred Scott,

and gallantry in the raid preceding
the arrest.
The attention of PatrOlman William

gunner when he saw a man walking
backward down Vincennes avenue,
near Forty-sixth street. The police

that of a persons valentine being the

practical value in the control Of
chickrn lice. Arsenic trioxid is too
poisonous, barium fluorid, cloves, saba
dllla seeds and paradichlorobenzene
are ton expensive, or not readily avail
able N large quantities; napthalene
is dangerous if applied too freely, and
barium tetrasulphid does not kill all
the lice. Sodium fluord is the most
practical remedy given in this list.
The materials listed below were
found tn be of no value against chick
en- lice IN spite of popular opinion re-
garding many of them:
Angelica root calcium carbonate.
calcium 1luorid, calcium hydroxid, cal
cium oZid, calcium sulphate, colo
cynth pulp, diatomaceous EARTH dolo-
mite lime, eucalyptus leaves, ferrous

lime (air slaked), lime (water slaked),
magnesium carbonate, magnesium OK
Id, magnesium sillcate, orris root,
quassia chips, road dust, silica, sodi-
UNI bicafbonate, vermilion, yellow
ochre.
The fact that &c different finely
powdered materials-7 organic and 10

value shows the fallacy OF the old
idea that any fine powder is effective
against chicken lice if busted into the
