THE NORTH POLE AS A CAUSE
 OF EARTHQUAKE

Every time the North Pole takes a sudden turn in it's spiral path an earthquake occurs somewhere, accord ing to Professor Ross of the United States Naval Observatory.
 Many earthquakes, some light and some very marked, that have occurred from time to time, could not be ex- plained as of volcanic origin, nor as a result of the settling or shifting of some of the inner strata of the earth. The cause of these hitherto unex- plained tremors, scientists say, is that the North Pole does not always point directly to the North Star, but is con- stantly revolving in series of spiral curves, swinging backward and for ward, taking about six or seven years to complete the swing. When after swinging outward for several years, the pole begins to swing back, the sudden change of direction causes a shock which is responsible for the earthquake. A comparison of the dates of certain earthquakes with the time of the "swing of the Pole" bear out this theory.
 r The great Italian earthquake of 1915 is thought to have been due to | the swing of the Pole.

IDAHO BILL, BREAKER OF
 OUTLAW HORSES

'Tdaho Bill," Colonel R. B. Jearson, who served as a United States scout with "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Captain Jack Crawford, and with other famous old-timers, conducts a unique bus mess. Upon the Snake River in Idaho this old frontiersman, who wears the long hair and the typical clothes of the early scouts, has several open pastures where he herds outlaw and unbroken horses. His speciality is the furnishing of wild, bucking horses for the big cowboy celebrations at Pendle- ton, Oregon; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Salinas, California; Las Vegas, New Mexico, and many other places. These annual events require from twenty to fifty bucking horses for their con- tests, and Idaho Bill undertakes to supply, ship, and unload the outlaws. This picturesque old scout rides in these exhibitions and declares he mat urally loves bad horse".

NEW ROAD TO GRAND CANYON

After heading a pathfinder's party under the auspices of the United Stat es bureau of public works Federal Highway Engineer Luke Smith de- clares the distance between Denver and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado can be shortened by one hundred and twenty-five miles. He recommends the construction of Federal highway from a point near the Mesa Verde ruins in southwestern Colorado, across the Indian reservations and mountain ous sections of northern Arizona. The present section of the transcontinental highway, leading from Durango, Colo rado, southwest through portion of New Mexico and across to the canon, does not traverse that which is most feasible, according to this expert. The shorter route, for which program fol funds is now under way, will extend through Keet-seal and Yayenta, Ari- Zona.

A SIOUX INDIAN CALENDAR

If the American Indian never en- ioyed the service of the present Gre gorian calendar, the Dakota Sioux In- dians, it has been found, had their own calendar for hundreds of years. For exactly how many hundreds of years these Indians have been putting forth their calendar is not known, but the American Museum of Natural His tory in New York has now in it's pos session a set of these quaint and curious Indian calendars. These cal endars cover a record of two hundred and thirteen years of Sioux history, for they are really a sort of brief record of the tribe.
 The Indians wrote calendars only in the winter season, and their methods were most laconic. Only the big and momentous events of the years were recorded and filed away. It consisted of photograph drawn on a buffalo skin and labeled with hieroglyphic markings. By keeping the skins in serial order member of the tribe could verify by references to the pic lures. The title of the picture was generally suggested by some impor- tant winter event, hence the Indians called their calendars "Winter Count Writing."'
 A name instead of mere number was given to each year by the Indians, and in the official calendar this year was illustrated by picture. A Da- kora born in 1853 would say that his birth occurred "In the year of the deep snow." To establish how many years ago an event took place the In- dian counted back by enumerating the successive year names.
 Short Man, a Dakota Sioux, made the drawings now in. the New York museum from the originals in his own possession. The Indian inscrip- tions were translated and the dates determined by Doctor J. R. Walker, one of the museum experts in Indian lore. A record in the keeping of Iron Crow, covering one hundred and sev- enteen years, is reproduced in part, while that of Battiste Good, covering two hundred and thirteen years, is the most important of the Sioux chronicles.

A NOTABLE JOURNEY INTO THE
 NORTH

The Colorado Museum of Natural History has recently added to re- markable collection of big-game speci- mems a number of new animals which were obtained in the northeastern boundary of Alaska by an expedition of three Denver med-J. A. Mcclure, the well-known hunter; Harry James, of the Denver National Bank, and his son, William James, who went in the interests of the museum.
 Besides adding new and valuable specimens to the present classification of the big game of North America, the travellers broke a new route for future expeditions into the country, and to great extent charted, map ped, and named the country through which they passed. To one who has never penetrated above fifty-four de. grees latitude, in the midst of an, un- charted wilderness, the staggering ob- stacles and hardships of this journey are not fully appreciated. Forty days of binding snow, glaciers without number, perilous fordings of danger ous torrents, treacherous moraines, Arctic diseases, wild-anihal perils, long treks over hundreds of miles of stark wilderness-these were part of their many hardships.
 The travellers followed the Copper River from Cordova for two hundred miles to McCarty and Kennecott, near the western border of Yukon territory in Canada, and then by easy stages into the interior of the territory, one hundred miles beyond the farthest outposts of white civilization.
 Although the total bag of game was very large, only a sufficient number of specimens for the museum reached Denver. Many of the animals, taken during the early part of the trip, were shot far from camp, and, because of the difficulties in packing, many rare and priceless hides were destroyed by the scores of vagrant bald eagles which infest this latitude.
 These eagles, which are among the largest on the American continent, are carrion eaters. They kill small game and fly away with it to their invul- nerable mountain heights. They proved a continual source of annoy ance to the expedition.
 The travellers varied their hunting by explorations. On one of their more arduous quests they penetrated into the Wrangel Mountains. Here an unnamed and formidable peak was discovered and named Mount James, in honor of Harry James, who was the first to map and describe the mountain.

COWBOY HAT FOR PRESIDENT

A cowboy hat, encircled with a handmade silver band which was in- scribed with an invitation to the Frontier Celebration at Cheyenne, Wyoming, was recently presented to President Harding by Senators War ren and Kendrick and Representative Mondell of Wyoming. The hat and the invitation were a gift from the city of Cheyenne, where a series of events, typical of Western life and ways, was held during the month of July. These splendid feats were q convincing demonstration that both the life and the spirit of the West are as vigorous and daring to-day as in any period of the past.

NEWS NOTES FROM
 AMERICAN LEGION

The body of Frederick w. Galbraith IT., national commander of the Amer ican Legion at the time of his acciden- tai death at Indianapolis, Ind, in June, will not be inferred in Arling- ton national cemetery at Washington, D. C., according to advices last week from the widow and brother of the late commander. Burial will be made at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, O., where the body was placed in a temporary vault following the largest military funeral in America since the Civil War.
 With the practical closing of the harvest season, the employment office of an American Legion post at Aber- deen, s. D., where 1. w. WIS tried to cause a general ''strike" among farm hands, has closed. In three weeks the Legion served 1,017 free meals, found jobs for 617 men, gave 3O4 places to sleep, gave 373 free baths and 12 treatments by the post physician.
 
 The city election in Birmingham, Ala, may be postponed at the request of an American Legion post of that city. The service men want to vote. When law exempting them rom poll tax was declared unconstitutional re- gently, the men were disqualified as voters. Thirty thousand world war veterans of the state are affected.
 Evidence of the plight of unemploy- ed service men was carried to cultured Boston, Mass, last week when Ar mand T. Gaudreau, University of Maine graduate besought the Ameri- can Legion employment bureau for any work that he could do. Previous iy Gandreau, dressed in his collegiate cap and gown, appeared in the streets of the banking section, selling news papers.
 A silver reproduction of the historic statue atop Castle San Angelo, Italy, mounted on a pedestal of stone from Mount Grappa, will be brought to the American Legion by General Arman- do Diaz, commander in chief of the Italian armies when he attends the Legion convention at Kansas City in October, cable dispatches declare.
