Irrigation Threatens the Glacier Park

st. Mary lake, the upper of the two,
all Of it in Glacier National park, is
one of the most strikingly beautiful
waters ON the American continent.
There are many who assign 1t first
place. An English traveller who had
explored the Himalayas and the Andes
recently stated that, among the lakes
of greatest beauty in the world, it Is
by far the supreme example Of It's
scenic kind.
1t lies east and west between noun
tains Of quite extraordinary form and
coloring, including such world celebri-
ties as Red Eagle, Little Chief and
Going-to-the-Su Sun mountains, and heads
up toward the glacier-splashed Con-
tinental divide at point of sensation
al magnificence.
The proposed reservoir will cover
the forested shores from which these
famous mountains rise and will SUBJ
merge several miles of fine forest at
the head of the lake through which
the glacier-run st. Mary river winds
into the lake. When the irrigation wa
ter Is drawn low In August, the world
famous view from the st. Mary
chalets, which thousands go there to
see every summer, will be slashed

"GHOSTLY" DANGER WARNING
Melanchthon Always Firmly Believed
That Timely Messenger Was
Not of the Earth.

One of the most accommodating and
benefcent ghosts of history was that
which appeared to Martin Luther's
friend and co-worker, Philip Melanch-
thon, at the time Of the second diet Of
Spires in 1929. A close friend of Mel
anchthon's, Simon Gryneaus, had met
Bishop Faber Of Vienna on the street
and became involved in bitter argu-
ment over subjects in dispute between
the Catholics and Protestants. The
bishop is said to have instigated the
kings agents to arrest Gryneaus for
his heretical utterances.
Melanchthon, Gryneaus and some
friends had just sat down to supper
when Melanchthon was called to the
door to converse with a venerable man
of strange appearance and actions. The
stranger warned Melanchthon that his
friend was in danger from the au-
thorities and should take instant steps
toward safety. Gryneaus was warned,
and Immediately fled into hiding, but
the kings agents arrived in search
of him as soon as he had left the
house.
The old man was never seen or
heard from again, and it was the Opin-
ion of Melanchthon and his friends
that he was a divine messenger sent
by heaven to warn Gryneaus of the
plans of his prosecutors.

The UnWanted Woman.

Men don't feel the tragedy Of being
unwanted as much as women do. And
somehow, some time, somewhere, a
man Is always wanted. But many a
woman trails through life with no
particular claim upon anyone, and
what is much worse, with no one hav-
ing any claim upon her. A woman
doesn't want to be taken out to sup
per so much as she needs to feel that
upon her shoulders lies the onus of
providing supper for someone else.
When she is young and her skin is
fresh and smooth she feels certain
that life holds for her all she de-
mands; it is only when the first
wrinkles come that she realizes with
a sudden shock Of horror that she has,
at best, only one or two more dips in
the lucky bag. And once she has be-
gun to feel old, she grows old so
quickly.-London Mail.

Worlds Smallest Bible.

Two copies of what are said to be
the smallest printed Bibles have been
sold in London for eight shillings (S2)
each. One was the |Bible in Minia-
ture," printed by Newberry, and the
other, printed in Glasgow, measured
only one and three-quarters inches by
one and one-eighth inches. The ques-
ton arises, naturally, which is the
largest Bible? Surely the monumental
work of William Bowyer, miniature
painter, who spent all his spare time
in 80 years in "grangerizing" a copy
of the Scriptures. He interleaved his
Bible with 1000 old drawings, engrav-
ings and etchings of Biblical subjects,
until the original volume became ex-
banded into A big folios, containing
the works of 600 artists from Michael
Angelo to Benjamin West. The total
cost was f4,200 (S21. 000).

Americas Need of Big Merchant Ships

A CTUAL naval strength of the
United States in case Of war
would be greatly inferior to that Of
Great Britain, Notwithstanding the
American and British navies are
placed on practically equal basis by
the naval treaty agreement, declared
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana in
speech.
Speaking on the naval disarmament
treaty and the legislation designed to
extend government aid to American
shipping, Senator Ransdell, who is
president of the National Merchant
Marine association, pointed out that
a navy, without adequate support
from it's national trade fleet, Is prac-
tically powerless.
There is only one way for naval
equality to be realized" he said, land
that is for America to make material
additions to it's commercial fleet Swift
vessels of commerce, carrying both
freight and passengers, having a
speed in excess of Is to 20 knots
preferably 20 knots and overland
from 10000 to $4,000 tons are most eff
fective as auxiliaries to the navy in
time of war"
How Great Britain stands in rela-
ton to the United States on the basis
of such ships is shown in the follow
ing table, adapted from figures pre-
sented by Senator Ransdell, giving the

Uncle Sam May Join Reparation Board

porated in the senate resolution Of
October IS, 1921, by which the senate
ratified the separate treaty between
the United States and Germany.
This reservation, which was later
included in the Presidents proclama-
ton, provided that the United States
shall not be represented or participate
In any body, agency or commission,
nor shall any person represent the
United States as a member of any
body, agency or commission in which
the United States is authorized to par
ticipate by this treaty unless and until
an act of the congress of the United
States shall provide for such represen-
tation or participation"
Thus the administration holds that
under the specific language of the sem
ate's ratification resolution the initia-
tive is clearly left with congress and,
it is argued, suggestions from sena-
tors or congressman that the Presi-
dent should go ahead and name rep
resentative and transmit the name to
the senate for ratification are clearly
beside the point.
Senator Underwood recently de-
clared in the senate that the only way
for the United States to get any part
of the German reparation payments
was to get representation on the al
lied reparation commission.

IRRIGATION threatens Glacier Ma
~ tional park. Recommendations
made by the international joint COM
mission to the governments of the
United States and Canada urge that
Lower st. Mary lake, in the Blackfeet
Indian reservation, Montana, be con-
verified into an irrigation reservoir
which will push ten miles back into
the national park territory adjoining
on the west, and turn the upper and
lower lakes into one reservoir. If this
is done, the level of beautiful ST..
Mary lake, wholly within the national
park, will be raised more than forty
feet.
Under the treaty of 1909, Canada
will have prior right to three-quar-
tiers of these national park waters; the
other quarter will go to Montana.

''In other words" Mr. Ransdell said,
Great Britain has about three times
as many ships capable of being used
as high-grade naval auxiliaries as the
United States has," He pointed out
that If our commercial marine is to
remain at it's present level, so far as
these fast ships are concerned, then
Great Britain, with her large fleet of
potential naval auxiliaries, would, be-
yond question, continue as she is to-
day, very much more powerful on the
seas, even though our naval vessels
our fighting ships-are considered on
terms of actual parity.

II heard yesterday of an American
woman in LIVERPOOL little wisp OF
q woman, connected in some way
with the Y. NJ. c. A, who lays in wait
for American sailors who become

they have left Liverpool and to
friends on their behalf when they
are sick or stranded here.
Among other things. he told me
that Miss Fisher has been the means
of preventing scores and scores of
American sailors from marrying girls
in Liverpool who were known to her
as. to put it mildly, undesirable"
There was one boy recently" he
said, "who had made up his mind to
marry a certain girl. Miss Fisher
knew the girl to be bad one, but
she couldn't make the boy believe 1t.
She knew that the girls sole aim in
marrying him was to get to America,
and that she would quit him as soon
as she got there.

Mirrors of Antiquity,

A FRENCH scientist has interested
"a the Academy of Sciences in his
researches concerning the glass
mirrors that were used in ancient
times in Thrace and Egypt. They
were backed with highly polished
metal, the nature of which has been
in question. The scientist referred to
has discovered that the metal was al
most pure lead, and he believes that
the method of manufacture was to
pour the molten lead on the concave
surface of disks cut from balloons
of blown glass. In consequence of
their shape the mirrors minimized
the images of objects looked at in
them
